When to Harvest Crops.

Just when to harvest crops in order tO
get the most profit from them is ques-
ton of considerable importance to every
man who is engaged in their production.
If there be a difference in the value of q
crop of grain or grass resulting from the
stage of growth or condition of ripeness al
the time it is harvested it is of advantage
to every producer to understand the diff
ference and the cause of the difference.
As it is a question 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 been made to
determine this question. In an expert.
ment made for the express purpose of
throwing light upon this subject three
plats of wheat of equal extent cut at diff.
ferent stages Of ripeness, yielded of grain
as follows: 49,.
Cut twenty days before it was ripe, 1876

220 pounds; cut when fully ripe, 2O9

From this it will be seen thar that which

ness gave eleven pounds, or per cent,
more grain than the equal plat cut at full
maturity. Allowing . field to yield at the
rate Of twenty bushels Of grain per acre,
this would be equivalent to q saving OF
one bushel per acre in the simple act Of
cutting ten days earlier. But not only is
the yield Of grain increased by this early
harvesting; the percentage Of flour, bran,
ETC., is also affected BY the difference in
time of harvesting. The following ex-
hibits the difference in flour, bran and
waste from equal quantities of wheat cut

DEEP PLANTING PEACH TREEs-"L
w. g." of Baltimore county, gives his
mode of deep planting in the AMER1-
CAN FARMER:
| dig the holes three feet in diameter
one and a-half feet deep; lay aside
carefully the surface soil; when l reach
the yellow clay or sub-soil l scatter
that. First l raise a slight mound
with surface earth in the middle of the
hole and set the tree and fill up with
surface earth, putting in sods and rub
bish if there be any handy. l raise a
mound around the tree to inches
high. When the tree is properly set, |
cut it down to from II to Is inches, -
never more than Is inches from the
ground is left. This stump will throw
out from 3 to vigorous shoots. The
best 3 or 4 | train for the tree, which
has every great advantages over trees,
the bearing wood of which is started,
as it were, at the top of pole five or
six feet from the ground. By thus cut
ting down the tree at time of planting,
much greater quantity Of bearing, and
more vigorous wood is obtained thetree
and fruit are not so much injured by the
winds the main stem is not exposed
to the sun, which is very injurious to
peach trees, and last, though no. least,
the fruit is much easier gathered from
the low trees.

two farmers settled side by side, with

his business, the whole costing him only

about their work, became interested in
and RESPECTED it, and were happy in
their toll, because they had something
to think about. They grew up inteli-

The other farmer "coudn't afford

HORTICULTURE IN JAPAN-In a re-
cent letter the Hon. Horace Capron
says:-Oranges, lines, lemons, grapes,
persimmons, pears, and some black
berries, all very inferior, excepting one
variety of orange and one of grape),
were all they had. They have wonder
full skill in dwarfng fruit trees. All
kinds are dwarfed without diminishing
the size of the fruit. l think our fruit
growers could learn much from the
japanese in this matter l have seen
acres of pear trees not more than to
6 feet high. These trees were set out
in rows, about the same distance inter-
vening. At the height they want the
trees to grow, say or feet, lattice
work of small bamboo poles is built
over the whole orchard. AS soon as
the shoots of the pear tree grow to this
lattice, they are trained to run along it
horizontally, and are confined to the
poles by hempen strings. When first
seen it looks like grapery. The wind
cannot shake the tree to disturb either
the flowers or the fruits. The most
perfect system of training and control
over the new growth is in use, so that
the sap of the tree, instead of being
consumed in the production of super
abundant growth of new shoots, is d.
rected to the growth and production of
the fruit

SHADE TREES IN PAsTuREs.-A cor
respondent in the GERMANTOWN TELE-
GRAPH says:
But is it profitable to have shade in
pastures? The truth of the statement
that "the treatment that gives most
comfort to the animal gives most profit
to the owner is not disputed on gen.
eral terms; yet the question is a prac-
teal one Of dollars and cents, of pounds
of beef, butter and cheese, if you please.
Now think cattle suffer less from sun
and heat, if out the whole time, than
they do when out part of the time
and it is certain that cattle put on
much more flesh if in a clean pasture,
free from everything like shade or ponds
and creeks, with only a variety of
grasses and pure water in tank, that
they cannot stand in as they do in
creeks or ponds.
While this cannot be controverted
when put to actual test, it is suscepti-
BILE of proof without the trial. l will
speak of cattle grazed for beef only,
and give some statements which think
no one will dispute. The more cattle
will eat the more they will thrive. The

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
