One of the lessons of the failure
of the grain commission agency
of the California Oranges is, that
it is unsafe to put into the hands of
Grange officers, or anybody else,
power so great as the selection of
an agent for SO large combine
ton Of farmers. Here were
twelve Oranges, which had, in the
control of this agency, on the
way to Europe seventeen cargoes
of wheat, when the agents failed,
thus leaving all this grain in linn
DO. This disaster must be ruin
GUS to many farmers. This firm
of Morgan & Sons was selected
by officers OF the State Grange,
who pronounced it all right, and
thereupon the farmers trusted ii
implicitly. This selection is too
great a trust to be put in any
body's hands. The temptation to
abuse is too great. OF course an
unsound house would offer the
greatest inducements for such a
selection, and having procured it
dishonesty, it would naturally
use the consignments in It's spec
ulat!ons.

SmuttY Wheat.

Our farmers need not have any
smut in their wheat, provided
they will take the proper steps to
prevent it. Smutty wheat may
even be used for seed by taking a
large tub or half barrel, filled half
full with water, to which should
be added salt enough to make a
brine that will float a sound egg,
showing a space the size of q
dime above the water. Pour the
seed whe&t into this brine slowly,
stirring it as it is poured in. The
light grains will float, and should
all be skinned off. Continue tc
stir for two or three minutes, and
skim off the grains that rise tc
the top. Take out the wheat
put into basket or sack made of
open cloth, 10 drain. Continue
this process until wheat enough
is prepared, and begin to SOW i'm
mediately, or spread upon the
barn floor to dry, if not wanted
until the next day. No necessity
for using blue vitriol (sulphate of
copper, but if any should desire
to use vitriol they can substitute
four ounces to the gallon of wa
ter for the salt.

Breachy Horses.

The habit of jumping fences
runs in families, among horses,
very remarkably. though any
colt we ever saw will easily take
it up. Ninety.nine horses in a
hundred as we use them have no
occasion TO jump, and three foot
fence will confine them after they
are four years old if they have up
that time never learned to jump.
W. 81, of the Western Farmer.
says: To prevent jumping, l
have found Just two ways effective,
Buckle a surcingle around the
body, then the halter-strap
through the fore legs to this; tie SO
that the horse can not get his
head above the point OF the shout
eer. Sec 1nd-Place upon the
horse a common halter with fore
head strap; sew to this piece Of
sheep skin, the wool side next the
head, and hanging low enough to
compel him to hold up his bead
too high for a spring to enable
him to see the top of the fence.
This latter suggestion we value
as applicable to colts, to which
the temptation to jump is liable.

OYSzER Sour, No. 2.-Take
three quarts oysters, and strain
the. liquor from them. Put the
liquor on to boil with half a pint
ct chopped celery, one onion, two
or three blades of mace, pepper
aud salt When it boils, add the
oysters. Just before taking it off,
the thickening must be added,
viz: one spoonful of -four creamed
into the well-beaten yolks of
three eggs. Pour a little of the
hot soup gradually upon9the eggs
and -four, stirring all the while,
and as soon as well mixed, with
a little cream pour into the soup.
Then add one quart of rich un.
skinned milk; let all come to a
boil, and pour into tnreen over
some small squares of cold bread.
Serve it very hot. @'i

Sheen.

A few sheep shuld be kept on
every grain farm; a great many
should be fed during some portion
of the year. But a small flock is
clear gain, for there is always
room for them in some of the
gelds and something for them to
eat in the winter. Suppose a
farmer cultivating a hundred a.
ores and not IN the habit of keep.
ing sheep buys, say twenty. In
the spring they viii do well or
the planting ground before it is
plowed; they will clean out a lane
or any rough corner on the farm,
and are one of the best helps the
farmer can have on his fallow
After harvest they will CLEAN the
stubbles and clear ont the. fence
corners; and later, in the autumn
they will tread down the new
seeding and prepare it to stand
the winter. In an old pasture
where cattle and horses are kept
a few sheep will improve the feed,
They will crop the bushes ant
weeds, bite the coarse grass, slee,
on the knobs and manure then
which the cattle eat bare. An(
the income from a small flock of
sheep may be from five to ter
dollars each, yearly.-Rochestei

A Little More About
Wheat.

The best soil for wheat is q
rich clay loan. Wheat lik,s q
good, deep, soft bed. Clover,
turned under, makes just such
bed. The best seed is plump.
heavy, oily and clean.
About two inches is the best
depth for sowing the seed. g.
The drill puts in the seed better
and cheaper than broadcasting.
If drilled, one bushel of seed
per acre; if broadcast, two bushels
One heavy rolling after sowing
does much good.
For -four, cut when the grain
begins to harden; for seed, mot unit
it has hardened.
