White and Red Wheat.

1t is said that the hard whcats are
all natives of warm climates, such as
Italy Sicily and Barbary. The soft
wheats are from northern climates,
such as England, Russia, Belgium,
Denmark and Sweden. There is,
however, one exception to this gen
eral rule, as the celebrated Polish
wheat is hard, and for this reason it
has been contended that it was not a
native of Poland, but was introduced
there from some underestimate. The
English climate is so humid that it is
impossible to ripen wheat hard, but
in many cases it requires artificial
heat to harden it before it can be
ground into flour. Different soils
and climates materially change the
nature and variety of wheat. The
difference between red and white
wheat is not in variety, but is owing
chiefly to the variety Of soil on which
it is grown. A generous dressing OF
wood ashes applied to the growing
wheat IN the former part Of the grow
ing season, will exert an excellent in
tluence in rendering wheat of light
er color than it would be without
potash. Lime is excellent also, for
the same purpose.--N y. Tribune.

Price of Butter Abroad.

The price of butter has been grad
ually rising in the English market
for several years past. Butter i'm
ported into England from the Con
tinent has been quoted recently at
l6e shillings (sterling) per cwt.,
which would be in the neighborhood
of forty cents, gold, per pound. This
pri &c offers an inducement to export.
But in addition to this outlet for any
surplus we may have, our leading
merchants say that the time is close
at hand when the entire demand for
dairy produce IN the West midas and
South America will be supplied from
the United States, and will become
an important trade. The american
Grocer, in commenting on this trade.
says. ''The first requisite was trans
portation facilities to those ports,
which are now established and in
crcasing, while it is evident that New
York will be more and more the
chief distributing market of the world
flor dairy products, and will largely
control the prices in other markets.

Pork--Then and Now j..

Any one familiar with the appear
ance of our wholesale and retail pro-
vision markets, for the past ten years,
must have noticed a great change in
the pork then offered for sale. For
merly the demand was for f II grown
and well-fattened hogs. "Big pork
was not considered up to par. When
people wanted pork, they wanted fat
pork, and the dealers made it a point
to supply what was called for. If a
farmer came into the city with load
of half.fatted, halfgrown porkers, he
did not find ready sale. He must
90 to third-rate market in order to
dispose of them.
Now all is changed. a pig, which
will dress 200 pounds is the model
porkcr; if he is not very fat so much
the better. Lean meat and bones
suit the customers of markets better
than fat meat and lard The large
fat, handsome, four or five hundred
pound hogs, which were formerly
the standard of eXcellency, are seldom
wanted now. Our farmers complain
that there is no call for large hogs.
No one wants them. If taken at the
market all the prices must be lowered
because the pork is too fat.
TO plain, honest farmer this
looks like turning things wrong side
out. 1t seems to him that fat cra-
ture is better than poor one and
consequently ought to sell for a high
er price per pound. But to be told
that because it is fat and good it is
notwanted, and is not worth us much
by the pound, as small and lean speci-
mems, causes him to shake his head
and sorrowfully declare that times
have changed wonderfully since he
was a boy.
Well, the times have changed.
They are always changing; and the
farmer who means to be successful
must change with them. 1t is no use
to produce what is not wanted. The
farmer must raise something which
he can sell, he must grow lean ones
for the market, but if he is wise he
he will have the latest and best for
home use.-N e. Homestead.

How to Render Clothing Non-Inilam.
mable.

A large number of lives are lost
every year by the burning Of the
clothing of women and children, and
many disastrous fires result from the
igniting of bed clothing, curtains
and other light fabrics made entirely
or partially of cotton or silk. A
simple expedient which would render
such materials non-infammable would
prove invaluable to every household.
Many experiments have been made
with various combinations of chemi-
Gals, but none have been entirely sue
cessful. More than dozen years
ago there appeared In London
chemical journal Il formula for solu-
ton which it is said can be used by
mixing it with the starch for fabrics
which are laundried, and can also be
used for other fabrics, and without
injury to texture or color in any case.
This formula has been rccentlyrepub-
lished by the Insurance Monitor,
and is as follows:
"To prepare solution of minimum
strength Il concentrated solution of
tungstate of soda is diluted with wa
ter to twenty degrees Tralles, and
then mixed with three per cent. of
phosphate of soda"
We should be glad to know the re-
suits of experiments with this prepar-
alton.

evolved and diffused when a warm
room is entered. The horse should
be provided with blankets for it's es-
pecial use. These need not be costly
and may be easily made at home. A
pair of coarse, heavy brown wool
blankets, costing five dollars, will
make very serviceable suit Of horse
clothing. The clothing should be
made in two parts, one to cover the
back from the withers to the crupper
and reaching beneath the belly, and
another to cover the neck and throat;
both should be lined with gunny
cloth to strengthen them. The neck
and chest of the horse are very sensi-
tive parts of the animal and need am
pie protection as well as the body
The body clothing should be made
of two pieces cut SO rs to admit of
two cores; one short narrow one up
on the rump, and one longer wide
one at the withers. These should be
cut so that the blanket fits smoothly
to the curve of the back, else it will
not lie in its proper place but will
slip down and gather in wrinkles in
the middle of the hack. A saddle
piece of stiff cloth should be stitched
upon the blanket and two Sits work
ed in it upon each side, through
which the girth is passed to retain it
in its place. Two strapsand buckles
should be stitched in front to fasten
the blanket close up,n the chest, and
it should be bound with Il broad strip
Of colored flannel The throat-piece
should be carefully cut to fit the
neck, and be made low enough to
lap over the blanket several inches.
A strap is fastened to go across the
forehead to hold the covering in its
place, and others are attached by
which it is fastened beneath the
throat. This part Of the clothing
should be bound and trimmed to
match the blanket. These coverings
should not be worn in the stable, but
only out of doors, when the horse IS
exposed to cold winds, or when it is
standing after having been warmed
by work.
No stable should be so exposed as
to make it necessary to blanket a
horse while within it. Stables should
be tight and warm, and ventilated in
such n manner as not to throw cold
drafts upon the horse. Pure fresh
air in the stable, although it may be
of low temperature, will so invisorate
the circulation of a horse that no pro-
lection beyond its own natural cover
ing will be needed, even in the cold
est winter weather. 1t is when he
is brought out from the still air OF
the stable into the cutting winds that
the animal needs covering, or when a
careless driver leaves him steaming,
after brisk drive, standing in a De
cember snow-storm, while he is warm
ing himself before stove Agric"t-

Keep the Pump from Freezing.

One or two nights recently Jack
Frost limited that we ought to be
ready for him when he comes in earn
est. On gong to the pump in the
morning l found the water frozen in
side so that it required an effort to
break the ice. But l am ready for
him, and l want to tell the readers of
the Farmer how l manage it.
At home on my fathe1s farm we
had no wells or pumps-good springs
being abundant. Hence it is l got
caught the first winter after l had
married and moved on to farm of
my own. / was not used to freezing
pumps, and so one bitter cold morn
ING found both pumps-the one at
the house and the barn pump-locked
tight. ! will not describe the annoy
axce that followed - every farmer
who has pump has had some ex-
pcricnce of the kind at some period
of his life.
1t took three days to thaw those
pumps out, and l was compelled to
take my stock to a neighbours, half u
mile away, to water them, and also
had to obtain water at the same place
for household use. l never get caught
the second time on the same trick.
AS soon as the pumps were clem Of
ice l procured two good brass faucets,
and boring holes in the pumps, five
feet below the platform, inserted
the faucets in them securely. then
procured a narrow strip of board of
sufficient length, and bored Il hole in
one end large enough to slip over the
handle of the faucet. With this l
could turn the handle easily, either
way; and have never had any troub-
lie since.
Some have plug, simply, within
reach of the hand, below the plat
form; but this is insufficient in the
coolest weather, besides being incon-
venient. The faucets are betterevery
way. Care must be taken to provide
enough water before turning it off to
start the pump in the morning.
| use these faucets also i'll warm
weather, when the pumps have been
standing undisturbed in the hot sun
half a day. The water above the
platform is then unfit for use, but it
is usually pumped into the trough for
the tired, thirsty horses, when the
owner knows that sip of it would
be as good as an emetic for himself.

The Thistle Tax.

The Canada thistle is gradually
working its way westward, having
now reached Iowa and Kansas. 1t
appeared in Indiana and Illinois sew
eral years ago, but vigorous measures
were taken on the part of the States,
and the warfare is constantly kept up.
Men are employed at regular wages
to dig and burn the plants, it being
Intellectual to leave them on the sur.
face Of the ground to dry and die.
Wherever this thistle gets q toothold
in community, the damage is equal
to tax Of ten per cent. on all the
farming land, ut fair valuation. II
is agreed that the seed was first in
duced, and is still introduced, in the
hay with which the fruit trees are
packed. 1t would be better to raise
ones own trees, and have even in
ferior fruit, than to be thus burdcned
Oranges, agricultural societies, and
clubs should make it an especial bus
mess to watch the Canada thistle.
