The Weather and the Crops.

The most noticeable and important
change in weather 50 far as the Northwest
is concerned, during the past week, was the
occurrence of frost on the nights OF Satur-
day and Sunday last in parts OF Northern
Illinois, much Of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa. The extent of the injury done Is as
yet uncertain, but we know that, especial
" on low lands. much damage was done
10 the growing crops. Corn was late and
has undoubtedly been seriously injured in
many places, but it is fortunate that the
frost did not reach the great growing
region of the West. Buckwheat was also
injured. The tobacco crop of Wisconsin
is probably very badly damaged, and a
similar statement is made as to the cram
berry crop in the same State. Some gar
den vegetables have suffered much. More
serious, however, than any probable inju-
nv by these frosts is the danger of greater
damage 10y others before the corn and some
other crops have time to mature.
The more pleasant features of the past
week were the general pleasant weather
for completing the harvest of the wheat
and other small grains, and the generally
favorable reports rs to the yields. The
latest reports from Europe are of IA
vorable weather and rather better yields
than were expected, and a consequent de-
cline in prices for grain to some extent.
The cold weather here, with the reported
injury to corn by trosts, tended to coun-
teract this and to make the markets eN-
cited and the prices slightly higher
We regret that any section of the coun-
try has suffered loss to its crops by in
scCts, drought flood or frost, but for the in
diyiduals and the communities so fortu.
nate as 10 have good yields there are GER
tainly good prospects, as every indication
now is that prices for all leading farm
products will be satisfactory to the pro
duCcr.- Western RHal, Aug. %.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

An obdurate screw may sometimes be
drawn by applying piece of red iron
10 the mead for minute or two, and i'm
medlately using the screw-driver.
To make baking powder, take one
half pound baking soda, one-half pound
Hour, one pound cream-tartar, two ounces
tartarlc acid, and mix well. Use two
teaspoonfuls to each quart of -four: add
milk when you have it, but if not wet with
cold water and bake Immediately.
To make Delmonico pudding, take
one quart of scalding milk, eight table
spOontuls of corn starch wet in cold milk !;
stir into the milk with the yelks of three
eggs beaten well, little salt and four
tablespoontuls of sugar. Take off the
fire, flavor to taste, froth the eggs and put
in the oven and brown.
Bean pickles are delicate and very
tempting yet, easily made. Procure young
beans from the late crops, wash and boil
in slightly sailed water till tender; drain
them through colander or sieve, then
dry with cloth. Pour boiling vinegar,
spiced to taste, over them; repeat this two
or three days, or till they look green.
To make lemon rice pudding boil
one-half pint of rice in two and one-half
pnts of milk until soft; add to it while
soft the yelks of three well-beaten eggs
the grated rind of two lemons, three table
spoonfuls of sugar and pinch of salt
If too thick add little cold milk; it
should be little thicker than boiled Gus
tard; turn into pudding-dish, beat the
whites of the eggs very stiff, together with
eight tablespoonfuls of sugar and the
juice of the lemons Brown and eat very
cold
Plants taken from the garden in au-
tumn to winter in the house should be
carefully potted early in September, hard
ened off in the shade out of doors, and re-
moved to the parlor when the nights be-
come frosty; in warm, sunny days they
should have plenty of fresh air. Treated
thus we may have autumn and early win
ter bloom, whereas if we delay the autumn
transplc,nting until the plants are checked
by frost they seldom give bloom till
February .-Horttcuiturat Jommal
Never cut flowers during intense sun
shine, or keep them exposed to the sun or
wind Do not collect them in large bun
dies, or tie them together, rs this hastens
their decay. Do not pull them, but cut
them Clearly off the plant Ylth a sharp
kniie-not with scissors. When taken in
doors place them in the shade and reduce
them to the required length of stalk with
the knife, 10y which the tubes through
which they draw up water are permitted
to act freely; whereas if the stems are
bruised or lacerated the pores are closed
up. Use pure water to set them or pure
white sand in state of saturation, stick
ing the ends of the stalks into it, but not
in crowded manner-N. \. Ueyald.

Repelling Flies from Stock.

SOME one who doubtless never tried the
experiment recommended in many agri-
cultural papers saturating the hair of cat
tie and horses with Il strong decoction
made by boiling the leaves of walnut
trees, There is not a particle of efficacy
in such a remedy. We applied coal tar
to the hair Of COW on her legs and sides,
but the flies worked right through the tar,
ANNOYING the animal about as much as be
fore the tar was laid on.
j j. Mech calls attention to the system
of darkening COW stables by hanging old
canvas over the openings, adopted by the
late Mr.. Hudson, of Castle Acre, to keep
out the flies He says that on a visit there
he was amused and instructed by seeing
the wcll-iattcned cattle get rid of their tor
mentors by passing between pendant can
vas curtains, which admitted them and
closed after them, rendering the shed dark
and iIylcss. Another friend who had
many cows in long she'd having its
ridge louyru-boarded throughout its whole
length and divided by a pendant board on
Natson's principle, excluded light except
from these openings in the roof. Not n
single cows tail was IN motion, for the
flies would not descend into the darkness.

Harvesting Apples.

EXPERIENCE alone must serve as a
guide to the orchardist as to the proper
time for harvesting fruit. We can only
give this general direction: Gather the
fruit when fully grown, or at the time
when it has received the greatest nourish-
ment from the tree. Ladders of different
lengths, also stands, are employed for this
purpose. The windlalls should
first be gathered and converted into cider,
or at least kept entirely separate from the
remaining fruit Pick by hand, select
and pack with great care, so as to obviate
bruising the fruit. In asserting make
two qualities for market and a third for
cider or for swine.
Pack in new or clean barrels. Pack
one kind only in the same barrel or box
also let the apples be of as uniform size
and appearance as may be. The upper
layer of apples should protrude somewhat
above the chine, and be brought down
and headed under pressure. Employ for
this purpose clamp, either patent or
home made. Some operate with IL screw,
others with lever The latter is very
simple, and may be easily constructed.
For shipping the pressure system is par
ticularly desirable, as it retains each APP
pie in It's place, and hence prevents it
being ratified about and bruised. The
fruit being barrcled should remain in open
sheds till the approach of cold weather.
Keep as cool as possible without freezing
before removing to the ccllar,-WatHe

Concentrated Culture.

YEARS of experience in the culture of
wheat have demonstrated one fac pre-
eminently-that it is time, labor and
money thrown away to attempt to raise a
crop without careful culture. The one
great fault of too many is to attempt to
cultivate too much, Concentrated culture
is what is needed. Put the time, labor
and manure on less lan1 and more will
be produced. Thorough drainage is abso-
lutelv necessary to prevent freezing out in
winter. If you have intended to put out
ten acres on land not thoroughly drained
put out half, or one-third or one fourth as
much, and eXpend the balance of the
labor in draining, and you will get more
wheat. \ good, rich soil is absolutely
necessary to prevent inter-killing as well
rs to furnish the necessary food for the
plants. Ii your soil is not in this condi-
ton and you have intended - spread
manure over ten or fifteen acres that is in
sufficient for five, stop and consider before
you commence. 1t is better to raise 100
bushels from five acres than fifty from
ten. Again, you can, perhaps, put
enough labor upon five acres 10 put
it in the best condition; spread the
same labor over two or three times the sur.
face, and you lay good foundation for a
failure. Concentrated labor pays in all
ncrops, but in none so well as wheat. We
saw one piece of three acres that yielded,
this year, over sixty bushels, while the ay-
erage yield of that section will not be half
that The owner told US that he had in
tended to put in the whole feld-six acres
but concluded to try concentration of
labor and manure, and the result proved
the wisdom of hi. conclusion. The field
was clover sown with some timothy, and
the three acres saved furnished excellent
pasture this season. He intends to treat it
;his fall Just as he did the other half last
fall, which is now well seeded TO clover
and timothy again. If you have no soil
we'll adapted to wheat, don't cultivate
wheat. Cultivate something that ii is
adapted to-some crop on which you can
depend In a good season soils not well
adapted 20 wheat will produce good crops,
even under ordinary care; but such sea
sons do not come snce in ten years, per
haps, and it will not pay TO run the risk.

stances are known of magnetic disturb
ances coinciding with earhquakes-hence
the supposed probable connection between
the two phenomena.-N. Y. San.
A writer in the Engineer says that,
Notwithstanding the difference Of opinion
which exists among engineers on the ques-
ton of drilled as compared with punched
holes in iron, it would appear from the
most recent and reliable tests that practi-
caly there is little to be gained, so far as
the strength Of the plates is concerned by
using one method more than the other. In
proof Of this he states that bar Of Low
moor iron, two inches by one inch with a
drilled hole seven eighths of an inch in
diameter put through it, sustained 235 cwt
and with a punched hole 226 cwt. With
bars of hard crystalline iron of the same
dimensions, that with the drilled hole sus-
tanned $50 cwt. and the punched hole six
pounds less. With bars having each three
holcs-one drilled, one punched and one
punched thrce-fourths of an inch and
drilled to seven-eighths Of an inch in di-
ametcr-in all cases they broke through
the punched hole, which would be in
ferred from the above results, but which
are still well within the limits of variation
of the breaking weights of superior iron
If number Of plates are to be riveted to-
gether, or an intricate junction made, I'M
less great care is exercised by a very ex-
perenced hand at a punching-machine
the drilled holes will be more accurate
but where simple plate anti L iron are to
be Joined together the balance of strength
in favor of drilling is perhaps hardly suf-
ficient to warrant the additional cost

WOODEN Waste in Agriculture.

in any manufacture is about % per cent.
ot the whole amount. OF this waste all
is of more or less value rs manure. 1t is
strictly nitrogenous, and has little other
value, The proportion of nitrogen is only
about ;. 50 per cent. of the wooden. and its
value to the farmer becomes question of

80 per cent. of nitrogen can be bought in
the form of commercial manuycS il will

usual treatment on the farm is 70 pillow il

with nhosphates. In the ground il is slow
to decay, and il is claimed that il is avail
able for two or three years after placing in
the soil Another and better method is TO

Manufacturers of manure use wooden waste
extensively ~ treating it with acids, al

A writer in the JeuiM Messenger
urges the establishment Of an effective or
paniZation among American Israeltes as
the only means Of making the Jewish
Church lake rank with others and show
that its creed and practice are still en-
titled to the respect of mankind. In this
organization, he argues, great latitude
ought to be permitted to religious opin-
ions and conformity cxacted as to essen
tial matters only.
To educate children ones own chill

succeeding to our wishes, therefore one
connected with sorrow and care. All par
ents without exception know this all over
the earth they have experienced 1t, sur

everything. With thanks toward God we
see our children grown up, and we rejoice
that there is no more need of education.
