RUST IN WHEAT.

An OLD and very intelligent farmer
Of Rockingham county, who has paid
great deal Of attention to everything rela
ting to this profession, has given rs the
following information as to the origin
Of Tint dread Of the husbandmen, rust in
wheat lie says there are two kinds Of
rust, the red rust and the black rust.
The red rust Is not injurious 10 the
wheat, and Is always caused BY show
ers of rain and sunshine. The black
rust, however, Is very injurious, and Il
caused by the fall Of the honey dew fol-
lowed by subsequent rains But for
the rain the honey dew would not be
so harmful; but the Immediately sue,
ceeding rains make the black rust very
hurtful. Our informant says, in sup
port Of this part Of his theory, that
last year there was no honey dew and
the wheat was entirely free from black
rust. The honey bees, however,
were the sufferers, because or the alb
sence of the honey dew; for the friend
who tells us this states that he lost
four stands Of bees in consequence Of
the honey dew, and one of his ncigh-
bors also lost an equal number Of stands
of bees

Children and Money.

MosT persons seem TO believe that chill
dren, even after they have reached an age
of intelligence and discrimination, should
not be trusted with money; that those
who are so trusted are almost in
variably ruined. More harm is done, in
our judgment, by an exactly contrary
course. If children-at least when they
are fairly out of leading strings-are not
allowed to have small amounts of money,
how can they possibly learn its proper
useS Wise spending Is the result OF ex-
perience, instead of theory, even with
grown persons. How then should the
merest youngsters learn TO use sixpences
and shillings steadily withheld from
them.
Human nature is always benefited by a
sense of responsibility, and children are
by no means an exception. So long as
they are deprived of money they can have
no clear idea of its value, and, later in
life, when they begin TO get some, they
very naturally waste it in order to make
up for their early deprivation. a boy
should be allowed to buy his own tops,
marbles and skates, instead of having
them bought for him. In this way he
will enjoy them more and have a more
thorough appreciation of them. If he
makes a mistake, chooses bad top, or
imperfect marbles, or poor skates, do not
replace them with such as he would like;
but let him use those Of his own selec.
tiontill he has the money TO buy others
Next time he will know what not to
buy, will. be more careful in deciding,
and will have gained desirable feeling
