Shrinkage Of Grain.

The writer had..a quantity carefully
measured and put up in sacks. 1t
remained in a cool barn in this way
for three months. When the sacks
were first filed the mouths could be
scarcely tied, they were so full. At
the end of three months there was
apparently room for more. For Gu
riosity some of it was measured, and
it was found two quarts per bushel
had fallen away, which was a loss
of about seven per cent. The place
where the seed was kept was very
unfavorable to waste. There was no
heat or wind to dry 1t up, and it
may be taken as the very lowest
percentage of loss. Under other cir
cumstances, the loss by saving six
months may often reach as high as
twenty per cent. These things
should be considered Ly those who
are inclined to hold on for a chance
of a rise.
Another consideration strikes us
here. People often complain that
they get short weight or measure.
No doubt that this Is too often the
case; but it is likely that in some in
stances the difference is as much in
shrinkage as In intention.-EI.

Culture # Bulbs.

Bulb culture is one of the most
beautiful departments of f~1oricul-
ture, and seems to be increasing
rapidly of latter times, especially in
the vicinity of cities. Last spring
We saw larger and more beautiful
beds Of hyacinths, tulips, &C., thai.
ever before. We insert from Mr..
Dreer's bulb catalogue the following
description
"Bulbs belong to a particular di-
vision of the vegetable kingdom ;
they are all, with scarcely a single
exception, very ornamental, and
hence desirable for the very large
size of their flower in proportion to
the entire plant, and for the bril-
liancy Of their colors. By far the
greater number of bulbs flower in
the spring, and produce their flower
stems Immediately after they begin
to grow; and shortly after they
have lowered they cease growing
and remain dormant and without
leaves during the remainder of the
year; hence, almost all bulbs require
20 be planted in the autumn-a fact
which most amateurs are apt to
overlook, and frequently send their
orders out of season. They require
a free, dry and somewhat rich soil.
into which the roots may penetrate
freely. A bulb is essentially q bulb.
and contains within itself the germs
of the leaves and flowers which are
to be produced the following season;
thus, in n sense, they are of more
easy culture than any other class of
plants, because the germ being pre-
viously formed, and the nourish-
ment being provided in the body of
the bulb. it is only necessary to sup
ply heat and moisture to cause them
to develop; this is fully exemplified
in the Hyacinth, Narcissus, Crocus,
early Tulips, and some other bulbs,
which can be Powered when placed
over water in glasses or in wet moss.
The Hyacinth is the especial favor
lite for forcing in glasses.

Love on the

One of Galatians fair daughters,
while returning from Wonderland,
stopped with her companions at a
Yellowstone lanche. They had been
there scarcely an hour when one OF
the proprietors gained the a OF u
heroine and informed her that near
by was one of the finest, largest,
best and most skunkum raspberry
patches he ever saw or heard tell of.
"Why they could just scoop them
up,u etc. He urged upon her the
necessity OF the berries being pluck
ed Immediately, as they were dead
ripe, millions of them. She was de-
lighted at the prospect of going for
the berries, but when she ascertain
ed that our hero was bent on acting
as guide, then her ardor became
dampened. However, they started.
We bid adieu to any further de-
soription of this novel love scene,
as now follows the conversation in
which a m%ountaineer wooed a fo1-
mer city belle, whom two hours be-
fore he had never seen, showing
the absurdity of the old ''faint
heart" and ''fair lady'' business.
"Say, do you see them fences?"
"Oh yes; they are nice fences"
"Well, them fences is ourn."
"Whose ?"
"My Pard's and mine-half is
mine and half is his'n, and those
fields is ourn, too, and the house
and stock and chickens and mort
gage, and all on the ranch is ourn-
half is mine and half is his'n."
"Ah, indeed"
"Yes-and you don't know how
much we got in the bank besides,
and if 1 was to get a wife you bet
I'd get more than half. And 1 sup
pose you don't know that / am the
best hunter and guide in the Rocky
Mountains? Well, I am, and what
is more, 1 have enough quartz to buy
out all the postoffices in Montana,
and pay for running them besides.
Why, 1 have a fortune just in one
mine alone. The boys tell me it's a
brass mine, but it amt brass it's
gold, sure, and if 1t amt that it's
good quartz, anyhow, and-don't-
don't you think 1 ought to get mar
ried ?"
"Most assuredIy I do. A young
man possessing your wealth and
good looks should not hesitate q
moment about entering into matri-
mony. am surprised to think you
are still single. Are your"
nWell, yes, 1 suppose so. But
say, do you see them granaries ?
Well, 1 just have enough grain over
yonder to last two years, and so you
see 1 a stand off the grasshoppers
one year anyhow. And you needn't
be afraid of Injuns up here; they
don't come this high up-and say,
don't you wantto marry me? There
now"
"Oh, sir, why-why, this Is so I'M
expected, you know, and besides ]
Il should deem it my duty, while
thanking you for honoring me with
your hand, to inform you that 1 am
engaged to be married to a gentle
MAJ in the States. ! regret that
YOUR affections are not bestowed
upon some young lady who is heart
free. Please do not refer to the sub
iect again"
"Well, I wouldn't have done SC
now, only I heard as how you didn't
talk pretty to nice got up Bozeman
chap, and told him you didn't want
to marry him nohow, and l suppos'
ed a ter that I stood a good show o.
catching you myself. And|and
(raising his voice. there's the rasp'
berry patch over there, and come te
think of i'll don't think they are
as thick now as they used to be."-

Fall Top Dressing.

Before the winter sets in for good
it will be best 20 get out all the ma
nure that can be spared for this pur-
pose and spread it freely on the
moving lots as a top dressing. If
the land is not too billy or uneven
there il no danger of waste while a
good covering protects the roots OF
grass, mellows the surface and pro-
NOTES tie growth of the crop next
year. ~
A top dressing may be applied to
advantage late in the fall, or imme-
diately after the crop Is taken off, or
In the spring just after the grass
starts. In the latter case the rapid
growth of the grass cover and pro-
tectsit from the sun. But there Is
little or no loss by evaporation
through the winter.-Massdchuset

Star Furnace Company missed from
their drawer at different times quantities
Of scrip. This scrip is similar to bank
bills, being promises by the company to
pay certain sums in goods. 1t is payable
to the bearer, and circulates as money.
John Brown brought considerable
quantity of this scrip to the store and
bought goods with it at various times.
He was also in the habit of selling it to
different parties for cash, discounting it
25 per cent The company employed de
tectives to buy scrip from Brown. They
suspected Jim Hall as the thief Jim is
brother-in-law of Brown, and is nice
young man, with long curling black hair
well oiled and covered with musk. On
the night of June 25th $38 in scrip was
stolen, and nearly that amount was pur-
chased from Brown shortly afterwards
Hall went to Portsmouth on a gambling

some one in the store, and Lonberger
started up stairs, when he saw Hall, with
lighted lamp in his hand. Lonberger
called upon him to halt, but he made
for the back door. Lonberger shot at
him twice, but did not hit him., and he
made his escape, taking with him $2S in
scrip, but leaving his shoes. About 4
o'clock next day he was arrested by
Lonberger and William Owens. mile
and half this side of Byers' Station.
He had an examination before Mayor
Laird, and in default of 81 900 bail, was
committed to the county Jail. Brown
| was also arrested, had an examination,
and was discharged. He testified that
he got the scrip from Hall. for board,
washing, &c.. but he did not know where
Hall got it. There could not be much
doubt that Brown was innocent of any
guilty knowledge in the matter. &
