IMPROVING WHEAT SERD.-A writer
says: 1t has been my practice for the
last sixteen or eighteen years to run my
wheat field for seed over a very coarse
seed screen, SO as to SOW none but the
very largest kernels. By so doing l
have improved my wheat SO that l have
sold nearly all my wheat at home for
seed. But in 1872 1 hit upon a new
plan. 1 had piece of Treadwell wheat
that was injured by insects In the pre-
vious fall and killed by freezing in the
winter, SO that there were spots not
worth cutting. After harvest 1 OBJ
served few scattering heads Of unusual
size. 1t occurred to me that there was
wheat that had withstood the ravages
of the insects and the rigor of the winter.
l gathered enough to SOW one rod
square, from which l realize twenty
pounds of wheat, of unusually large,
even berry, which was at the ratio of
over fifty bushels per acre Ia It harvest
had twenty bushels which weighed sixty
six pounds per bushel. 1t is my opinion
that We realize the best crops from the
best and most perfect seed in the vege-
table as well as the animal kingdom.

New METHOD OF GRATING THE VINE.
MIR. johnson, British cultivator of
the vine, has come to the conclusion,
after trying all other methods known,
that there is no better method for graft
ing vines than the one he very properly
cslls dove-tail grating. Ii IS very
simple and sure, the scions producing
fruit, In some cases, the first year. The
stock should be from one to three years
old, and the scion inserted opposite a
bud or spur. Having selected the stock,
the wood should be cut out about two
inches in length, to depth equal to the
thickness of the scion. in the same
manner dove failing is done by cabinet
makers. The scion is then divided in
the middle, and fitted neatly into the
stock with the bud midway from either
end and then firmly tied with mating
and clayed over, as in other methods
Of grating, leaving a small hole for the
growth of the bud. Damp moss is tied
over the whole, and after the bud starts,
the shoot opposite it shortened in and
entirely removed. The grating should
be done before the sap is in motion.

CHEAP LABOR IN GARDENING.-We
make q seasonable suggestion TO young
gardeners on the best mode of keeping
clean grounds, and raising good crops,
at little cost. Novices commonly
allow weeds to get several inches high
before they think of clearing them out
and destroying them. Now, the great
secret of cheap and successful culture
is to kill all weeds before they come up.
Go over the bare surface of earth as
often as once a week, and pulverize If
thoroughly with rake or skim-hoe.
This will kill every weed just as it is
starting, with less than one tenth the
labor required to kill them when several
inches high. Do it often, and thor
oughly.

plaster the best and most economics
fertilizer for tobacco. After securing a
stand, he put about dessert-spoonful

after the first shower it showedsa rich

MANAGING SMALL FRUITs.-If the cur

Of raspberries should be all removed.
Then, when the roots get their machin-
cry at work. they will send up canes
that will fruit well the next season.
But if the top is left on it will require
all the energies of the roots to support
it, and if the plant does not die the first
winter it will be feeble and sickly the
next summer, and linger along year
after year until the planter condemns
the variety and throws thsm away in
disgust. Last spring 1 filled an order
for raspberries, and before sending them
/ cut the tops back to two feet, and
came near having them returned for
doing so. ! told the dealer that they
should be all cut off when planted out.
He said he knew that very well, but his
customers did not; they would have
plants that would bear the first year,
and it was the top that sold them, not
the roots. But my advice is, see that
you get good roots without any regard
to tops.

Foop FOR CANARIEs Il would like to
say word for the poor little canaries.
| don't think because they are kept
prisoners that they should be kept on
prison fare, nothing but canary seed
and water. have kept birds good
many years and have raised them, and
never lost bird or had one show the
least symtom of sickness. keep canary
seed, rape seed, and dish of soaked
or pounded cracker by them all the
time, and 1 give them a piece of apple,
and orange, and figs, Whenever | have
them, and piece of sponge cake and
boiled egg, and occasionally very few
hemp seed and fax seed. In the sum-
mer l give them all the chickweed,
plantain seed, different kinds of grass
seed, and mustard seed that they will
eat, and they are fond of lettuce leaves
and daudelion leaves when they first
come up in the spring, and in the
winter l always give them cabbage.
l suppose some would think If they
should give them all those kinds that
they would kill their birds sure, but it
don't kill mine, and never want to see
healthier birds. don't know but that
it is good plan to put rusty nail in
their drinking cup, never tried il /; /
give them fresh water twice a day, and
always keep the floor Of the cage covered
with sand. 1t is hard life for them at
best, and l want to do all l can for their
comfort, and ! hope that some that
have kept their birds on seed and water
will try my way.

A SLIGHT MrsTAKE.-Chubb's clock
got out of order one day about Christ
mas time, and began to strike wrong.
That was the cause of the fearful ex-
citement in his house one night. Tney
we're all in bed sound asleep at midnight
when the clock suddenly struck five.
The new hired girl, happening to wake
Just as it began, heard it, and bounced
out of bod, under the impression that
morning had come and as it is dark at
five A. N. just at that season as at mid
night. she did not perceive her mis-
take, but went down into the kitchen
and began to get breakfast. While she
was bustling about in a pretty lively
manner, Chubb happened to wake. and
he heard the noise. He opened his
room door cautiously, and crept softly
To the head OF the stairs to listen. He
could distinctly hear some one moving
about the kitchen and dining room, and
apparently packing up the china. Ac-
corlingly he went back to his room and
woke Mrs. Chubb, and gave her orders
to spring the rattle out of the front
window the moment she heard his gun
go off. Then Chubb seized his fowling
piece, and, going down to the dining
room door, where he could hear the
burglars at work, he cooked the gun,
aimed it. pushed the door open with
the muzzle and fired. Instantly Mrs.
Chubb sprang the rattle and before
Chubb could pick up the lacerated
hired girl, the door was burst open by
two policemen, who came into the
dining room. Seeing Chubb with a
gun. and q bleeding woman on the
floor. they imagined that y murder had
been committed, and one Of them
trotted Chubb off to the station house
while the other remained to investigate
things. Just then the clock struck six.
An explanation ensued from the girl,
who had only few bird shot in her leg
and the policeman left to bring Chubb
home. He arrived at about three in
the morning, just as the clock was
striking eight. When the situation
was unfolded to him, his first action
wac to jam the butt Of his gun through
the clock. whereupon it Immediately
struck two hundred and forty three,
and Chubb pitched it over the fence.
He has a new clock now. and things are
working better-Mdr Adeter

BAcCHANALIANs AND ToBACooNALIANs.
The use Of tobacco provokes expec-
toration and creates thirst. Intoxica-
ting liquors are drunk to quench it, but
it grows by what it feeds upon. The
brain and nervous system become irri-
tated, and then tobacco, either as
fumigant or as fodder, is again en-
ployed, to sooth and deaden the irrita-
ton. Thus the evil work goes Onto
bacco sometimes leading to the use of
strong drink, and sometimes strong
drink leading to the use OF tobacco.
Certain it is that men of high standing
in society assert tina. VINEGAR BIrTERs,
the new Temperance Tonic, will ami
hitate all desire for tobacco, and thirst
for Intoxicating drink. 1t is already
widely known that this Invigorant aud
Restorative is effecting wonders in dys-
pepsia. biliousness, constipation, and
all nervous, muscular and glandular
diseases but if it will emancipate our
Bacchanalians and Tobscconalians from
their bondage to alcohol and nicotine,
money cannot measure its value, nor
do justice to its importsnce. 46

PORE AIR AND EDucATIoN.-Purea air
is valuable assistant to the school
teacher. Pure air purifies the blood,
quickens the circulation, and enlivens
the whole system. 1t rouses the &C
hvity of the brain, makes the mind
vigilant, and renders the acquisition Of
knowledge pleasant.
A school-room filed with pure air be-
comes a place of learning indeed.
Energy and activity are taken in with
each breath. The emulation of the
students is ever squirting them on. and
the example of the teacher is ever en-
couraging and helping them.
Pure air is great aid in the work of
education. II is help, however, that
is little used. It's ability to aid is
entirely ignored in nine-tenths of our
schools. A slight attempt is made in
some schOol-roomsto to secureventilation
but the means adopted are almost in
variably inadequate to secure the OBJ
iect. Few seem to have an adequate
idea of how free supply of air is neces-
sary to secure it's purity in q room
where numerous scholars are assembled.
Impure air is great hindrance in
the way of education. Go into school
room filled with scholars. with no means
for ventilation. The air at once seems
hot and close. Soon it seems oppres-
sive. The mind begins to feel dull and
sleepy. The head, after little while.
feels pressed and uncomfortable.
Are these favourable conditions for
mental activity? Think you that you
could study to advantage in such an at
mosphere? You feel that it would be
almost impossible for you to try to
study there, and. il you did, that you
would be almost unable to comprehend
or remember what you did study.
Consider how much more sensitive
and impressionable are the children
there confined than are older persons /;
and then ask yourself if it is strange
that children in so many instances learn
slowly, that they feel indisposed to
study, that they easily forget what they
learn, and that they become very poor
scholars. Occasionally scholar with
more than common energy, persever-
ance, and industry, triumphs. to a GER
tain extent, over those obstacles, and
makes good process in his studies.
Yet the same amount Of effort, put forth
in school-rooms filled with pure air,
would have accomplished far greater re-
suits.
But the direct influence OF impure
air upon the mind is not all of its in
juriousness. The breathing of such i'm
pure air impairs the health. renders the
blood impure, fills it with humour, and
induces lung-diseases. In our school
rooms the seeds of consumption are
very frequently sown. The health of
the lungs requires pure air to breathe.
impairment of the health of the body
enfeebles the powers of the mind. The
organ of the mind, the brain, is part
of the body; and if the body is diseased,
the brain shares in its enfeeblement,
and the mind also is weakened.
