WHEN TO HARVEST CROPS.

w ALN ~ nan Ed OhO1 D.
Just when to harvest crops in order to
get the most profit trom them, says the
Ohio Farmer, is question OF consider
able Importance to every man who ia
Iengeged In their production, IF there
be difference in the value cf a crop Of
grain or grass resulting from the stage
| of growth or condition of rpeness at the
time it is harvested, 1t is of advantage
to understand the difference and the
cause of the difference. AS it is cues
tien to be determined by experiment
entirely, it is worth the attention OF
| farmers to inquire what has been the
result Of such trials as have keen made
TO determine this question In an ex-
pertinent made for the express purpose
of throwing light upon this subject
three plats Of wheat of equal extent
cut at different stages of ripencss, yield
ed of grain as follows:
Cut twenty days before it was ripe,
1866 lbs cut ten days before il was ripe.
220 lbs cut wben July ripe, 200 lbs
From this it will be seen that .ha,
which was cut ten days before complete
ripeness gave eleven pounds, or five per
cert. more grain than the equal plat
cut at full maturity. Allowing a field
TO yield at the rate Of twenty bushels Of
grain per acre, this would be equivalen;
10 saving of one bushel per acre in tie
simple act of cutting ten days earlier
But net only is the yield increased by
this early harvesting the percentage OF
-four, bran, etc, is also affected by the
difference in time of harvestiDg. The
following exhibits the difference in -four,
bran and waste from equal quantities
of wheat cut at different times:
Twenty days before ripe, flour, TAT
BRAN ETC., 253 FEN days before ripe,
-four, 78 / bran, etc.. 800 wnen fully
ripe, -four, ~ 2 bran, etc, 27.8.
Here the difference is in favor Of both
ler css bstWegn the cut at fnl e pjAe
ritv and that cut ten days before. This,
ia a crop of twenty bushels Fer acre
would be 8 saving of as bushels. Still
another benefit growing out of early har-
yes ing is found in the different portions
of gluten and water contained IN the
-four. The more gluteu and the less
water il contains, other things being
eooal, the more valuable it is. In the
above experiment, tie different cuttings
contained these constituents in the iol
lowing proportions. That which was cu'

When fully ripe.......... ,..1o.9 o.
Here, as IN the above instances, the ad-
vantages are in favor of that cut before
ripening I; ever that cut twenty days
before mature ripeness, containing less
water than that cut when qui.e ripe.
This experiment, which has been con.
frmed by numerous similar ones, proves
the beneficial effects of harvesting o1l
grain from one to two weeks before Il
reaches complete ripeness. This is de-
serving the attention of all our farmers

curlousin manner that gave eminent
satisfaction.
SHOOTING AT A MARK. The fol-
lowing extract from the Methodist is
timely: How many of the young
men who Ioifered about the streets
last week to read the kilograms from
the Dollymount shooting match
caught the moral of this business !?
We suspect that if they had seen the
point they would not have spent the
cay, or had day to spend, in idle
curiosity. The great evil of the
world, as it is related to young men,
is, that a multitude OF them grow up
without being trained to curate and
careful work-to shooting at some
mark and hitting it.
They learn, if ever, when it is too
late, that success pivots upon training,
upon precision,upon patient practice.
A young man needs TO know how to
do something we'll, and this can be
learned only by drill, persevering APP
Iphcation 50 one thing, by steady,
patient and unchanging temper and
ambition. His hat may be full of
genius and his shirt bosom Of aspira-
tons; he may be able to do almost
anything that he tries to do, having
boundless energy and capacity, but
if he does not settle down to a pur-
suit and patiently work out its de-
tails, shooting every week at his
mark, he will come to no special
success. We have no great admira-
ton for shooting. Gunpowder is not
one Of our gods. We believe that
the after-piece of the war-suicides,
murders, thriftless living, love of ex-
citing sensations, etc.-discounts
more than we have guessed from the
glories of heroism and skill In the
contest; and we wish the taste Tor
gunpowder could be sobered down q
good deal. But of all uses to which
gunpowder is put, sharp-shooting is
the best we haze heard Of latter
blasting out Hell Gate), because it
requires close attention, infinite prac-
tice and steady nerves. Shooting at
"a mark is innocent enough with gun
reayHder it is what we, all need to
and means.
The men who can now save for
tunes or make them are those whose
mental and moral muscle and nerve
have been hardened in the schooling
Of experience. The coming men
will not sIobber sentiment and gush
their business; they will figure out
the per cents, and calculate closely
the chances of success. A world OF
close lines and small margins, OF
three per cents, and ten hours in a
days work, has come upon us. The
Blowhards will drop out of COM
merce, out of the pulpit, out of Con
gress. The young men may as well
understand it soon--they will miser-
ably fail unless they learn to hit the
mark. Those will succeed who do
the closest shooting.

SOME EMBARRAssING QUESTIONS.
"A gentleman who recently passed
over the old Central Railroad, from
Rochester to Syracuse, relates an
amusing incident that came under
his observation before reaching Au-
burn. An officer was on the train,
having in charge two convicts destin-
ed for Auburn Prison, The hands of
the convicts were free, and they sat
opposite one another, with irons on
their ankles, the officer occupying the
seat with one of them. Presently
gentleman came in, whose hooked
nose, old-fashioned silk hat and gen
eral seedy appearance indicated in
inquisitiyeness, came along and took
the vacant seat beside the convict,n
noticing the irons. The convict was
an intelligent fellow and eyed his TEL
low-passenger closely. Presently
the stranger said: "Pretty slow
train this" Conviot-gI suppose it
is rather slow when one is in a hurry
Stranger-"Yes ; you going down the
road far" Convict--"No, sir; I
stop off at Auburn" Stranger-Ahl

there, do your Convict-"I am

The stranger saw the irons and the

use or welfare Of the people as by
their appropriation to educational
purposes.
ReSolved, That a copy Of these
resolutions be placed IN the hands of
