Wheat and VigOr.

The following from the Science of
Health, deserves the attention of all.
The facts 1t contains are of the great
est moment
"Nothing is more sure in the chem
istry of life, than that great wheat
eaters are great thinkers, or that the
phosphorus which wheat contains, in
the outer kernel, Immediately beneath
the husk, is the feeder OF brains, and
the material substance which Erovokes
the thought, study and reason, and
all the forms of nervous energy.
There are Psychologists who attribute
the remarkable success of States like
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to the
bounty and perfection Of the wheat
crop, and the intellectual stimulus,
or rather food which it affords the
brain.
Certainly DO Commonwealth in
the world has evinced a higher sense
of law and order, or more rapidly de-
veloped social system which has no
equal in the world. The constitution
of Indiana for instance, the very
center of the wheat zone, beyond
comparison the best in the Union, and
produces the highest results in our
civilization.

which includes Australia in part,
South Africa, New Zealand, and q
part of South America, where civil

Wooden Shoes.

Wooden shoes are highly recon-
mended by the agricultural societies
and governments of Europe, as it is
shown that many diseases resulting in
impaired constitutions. and even in the
loss OF life, have resulted from wearing
leather shoes in wet weather. A prac-
tical workman has been recently called
from France to superintend their
manufacture. They are light and
easy to wear, and provided with a
small cushion within the upper side to
obviste any pressure on that part OF
the foot. They are OF a neat, pleasant
appearance, blackened or vanished,
large enough to accommodate COM
Portable stockings, and provided with
leather straps. Their prices range
from twentytour to thirty-six cents
and very few pairs would last life
time.

Introducing Queens.

Upon releasing a Milan queen to
the bees, 1 was anxious to be sure
that she was well received so remoY-
ed a comb from the hive, and let the
queen go out on it among the bees and
was at once satisfied all was right. L
introduced second Milan queen the
same way and others since. Being at
a neighbor's apiary whenhe was about
releasing a queen, 1 suggested the
same way, with like results. 1t one
has valuable queen 1 recommend
this way of releasing, as should the
bees pack on her, scrape them Oft In
to basin of water, when the workers
will scatter and the queen be recaged.
l saved one this season this way. This
plsa of scraping wad OF bees into
Ter was suggested to me by my
neighbor. I think it first-rate, as there
is great danger of losing the queen in
trying to pull off the bees.

The editor OF the Louisiana, Mo
Press, in relating what he knows
about farming, touches up the hog
question IN this style: "To make
Berkshire pigs out of your hazel
spIinters, select a cool day, stand them
on their hams, tied to sapiing, and
drive their noses back into their
shoulders, leaving about an inch pro-
truding. If you look at the agricul
tural papers, you will see that all
bIooded hogs are fixed that way. Ii
you have any whose noses are longer
than the rest of the body, better sell
them to an artesian well company tor
drills, as you cannot drive the nose
back without telescoping the whole
pig. When you cut up hogs, leave
the ham square, leave some hair too
salt everlastingly, and they will be
worth seversl cents less per pound
than when trimmed and cured 50 that
a Christian can eat them"

The Secret OF Butter.Making.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican gives some interesting de-
tails of the dsiryiug at a model far,a
"Longview," at Enfield, Ct., saying::'
"In DR.. Grants dairy, as soon as the
butter granulations appear, few
quarts OF cold water are poured into
the churn for the dasher to play upon,
and also to facilitate the separation of
the butter from the buttermilk. By
means of a wooden ladle the butter Is
removed from the churn to the oak
yorkIng-table, where also by means of
an oak octsgon lever the buttermilk
and water are rolled out. The bare
hand is not used in the butter. Salt
is then worked in, for some customers
only quarter of an ounce to a pound
OF butter, and the salted mass is plac-
ed in q close firkin and carried into
the spring-room TO be cooled and re-
worked into balls the following day.
In the final working, a large sponge
wrapped in linen napkin is used to
absorb the moisture. Some butter is
damaged by not working enough and
some by working too much. The true
mean is believed to be when the white
liquid ceases and the limpid water be.

Crossing Wbeau

Ancil B. jones, Minnesota writes
10 the Farmers Union: "The reason
wheat does not NIX, when several kinds
are sown together, is because :he
pollen discharges In the chaf and can
not get out until 1t is dead, and ca1
act only on its own pistils, which die
soon after being ertilized.''
The above shows thst wheat is sub
iect to in and-in breeding, which no
doubt causes wheat 10 run out or de-
generate. If a variety Of wheat is
run out, there is no use to Try TO i'm
prove it by change OF climate, soil or
any other means. You might as well
try to make an old horse young by
extra care and teed.
Wheat's not crossing also prevents
its not acclimatzing. A few may dit

easily see, if they will take the best

An Excellent Cow.

Mrs. ALFRED BEETLES, of Orange
township, informs US that, believing
she had a COW that could not be beaten
for butter making, she tried the ex-
pertinent of saving her milk for four
teen milkings, the last week in Janu-
ary. This milk kept by itself and
at the end of that time pro-
duced 16 pounds and 6 ounces of but
ter, and brought at 25 cents per pound
2 trifie over 81. The COW is common
stock, and had her first calf at two
years old. If any person in the State
can beat this we should be glad te
hear from them. With butter al
present prices, such cow is a small
fortune.

Cultivation Of Corn.

Cultivation Of Corn.
The following is extracted from 81
editorial in the RHral Wodd, discuss
ing the level and hilling culture Of
corn; -
The method formerly practiced by
most farmers, and which is continued
by many now, in caltivating corn, L
TO break up the land not over thre'
or four inches deep, sad lay it OF
aud cultivate both ways with the
cOmmoa turning plow. 1t the crop
receives the number of ploWingz
deemed necessary, the soil between
the roots is usually thrown up TO the
base OF the hills, leaving water fur
rows running at righ. angles all over
the field. II the land is rolling or
hiIly, the surface Is liable TO constant
waste IRON the effect Of washing
rains. T lis method of working corn
exclusively with the plow, we are
satisfied from practical experience and
observation, is erroneous. The nearer
level the ground is left sittr cultiVa-
tion, the better it is both for the crop
and the laGd. 1t is false idea that
corn should be hilled 10 prevent it
from being Frustrated by the Wind.
Jf the grou"d is well cultivated,
leaving level surface, nature amply !
provides each stalk of corn with |
braces for its support. Nor is it nee
essary, if the cultivation has been
properly conducted, to hill up corn
Ior the purpose of killing out or
smothering the weeds. Some of the
largest premium crops now Oh record
were produced by level culture. Ii
the first plowing is done with the
bar next to the corn, throwing the
furrow from the hills, and the earth
returned with the next plowing, the
cultivator should be used for all sub
working This leaves a level
mellow bed for the thousands of
minute roots which fill the entire
space between the rows, and are, in
fact, the mouths through which alone
The plants are fed. By keeping the
surface level and mellow, it readily

dea advanced by some farmers, that

Mellow soil, and if the ground is

firing OF all the lower leaves, and
