Our Scant Wheat Crop.
FromI$the Milwaukee Wisconsin.


Fronathe Milwaukee Wisconsin.
There can no longer be a question
that the wheat crop in the Northwest
ern States for the year 1876 is very
scant. It was at first natural to doubt
whether so general a failure in a dis
trict comprising 100000 square miles
could be possible. Bnt facts come
frsm time to time to the public ey e
which show a scantiness in the yield
of wheat unprecedented in the history
of the Northwestern States. A farmer
writing to us from Buffalo county, in
Northwestern Wisconsin, says:es:''1
threshed the grain from fifteen ''acres,
and got: seventy-one bushels. The
harvest was so poor that it was hardly
worth while to cut it. The most Of
the farmers did not get more than
one. fourth, some one:third, and q very
few of them got one.half q CROP

The Lawn.

The lawn is the chief element of
beauty in all places, wheter large or
small; if cut up by needless paths or
by too many flowef beds, its effect is
frittered away, and it looks like mere
appendage to the paths and beds, rath'
er than the groundwork in which
these are made.-The lawn is expected
to last many years, and the work
must be thorough. The ground should
be drained, if need he, leveled, or grad.
ed, and prepared better than for any
field crop: then SOW red-top, Kentucky
Blue grass, or in light soils, Rhode Is
land Bent. with pint of white clover
to the bushel, if desired, using from
three bushels to the acre, on rich land,
to five bushels on poorer soil. In small
yards it is better to lay sods, if a good
turf can be had and in large lawns
lay margin of turf along the walks
and roads, and around any beds made
in the lawn.

Advancing Price OF Wheat.

The farmers of the northwest may
have raised a small crop of wheat in
1876, hut they are likely to obtain a
round price for the same. Their ex-
'pectations were moderate, because of
the previous depression, and yet they
arc already more than realized. Cash
wheat No. 2 has advanced since its
lowest point in July ,26 cents per BUSH
ell. Even the present large advance
fails to bring out the reserve wheat, so
it is believed that the farmers are
holding it under the conviction that
$l.25is a moderate price, considering
the scantiness OF the crop. The same.
class Of operators hold that wheat must
ADVANCE whether there is war or no
war in Europe, as In the spring OF 1871
there will be no wheat lett in the
country. i: =: ==s..zs -. ~ :

A new variety of radish, the seeds

Sweet Oil.

sweet Ojl.
/ A physician says that sweet oil is
not only an antidote to the bite of the
rattlesnake, but "will cure poison of
any kind, both on man or beast. The
patient must take spoonful of it in.
ternaliy, and bathe the wound, for a
cure. To cure horse it takes eight
times as much as for a man. One of
the most extreme cases of snake bites
occurred eleven years ago. 1t had
been Of thirty days standing, and the
patient had been given up by his ply
sicians. I gave him spoonful Of tho
oil, which effected a cure. It will
cure bloat in cattle caused by fresh
clover. It will cure the stings of bees,
spiders, or other insects, and persons
who have been poisoned by a low, run
ming vine called ivy"
Infected Clothes.-A correspondent
of Manchester Guardian warns readers
of the danger of ordering clothes from
tailors whose workmen work at their
homes, where contagious disease may
be raging. Recently friend ordered
a suit of clothes from Manchester
tailor, and soon after he had begun to
wear them symptoms of scarlet fever
appeared. He found that the journey.
man who had made up his clothes had
scarlet fever in his house at the time.
Treatment of Burns.-In the treat
ment of burns in the Charity Hospital,
New York, when of superficial char.
acter, preparation consisting of two
parts of collodion and one of olive oil
has been found to be very efficacious.
When the burn is of an extensive char
acter, gasoline proves of decided bene.
ut. The advantage of gasoline is that
it is of the right consistence, and does
not become rancid.

How Much Neal to Feed.

A villager wants to know how much
meal it is profitable to give a new
mich cow, per day,-meal at 75c. a.
bushel and hay at $l5 a ton. The
Vermont Farmer answers the query az
follows: The only man who can
answer that question with any de
gree of accuracy is the one who takes
care of the COW. His information
upon the subject to be obatined by
varying the feed and noting the ef-
feet. There is wide difference in the
capacity of COWS for assimilating food,
and as great a variation in the power
to convert it into butter. Some COWS
never pay for their keeping, be it
what it may. It may be stated as
rule, that it pays to feed milch cows
meal with liberality, especially so if
both hay and meal are bought. Much
depends on the quality of the hay.
Early cut June grass hay will make as
much milk as fair quality of timothy
hay and two or three quarts of meal
a day. From two to four quarts per
day, of meal, is probably as much as
an ordinary COW will pay for. It ia
better economy and more healthful
for the COW, and we believe for those
who use the milk as food, to give mix.
ed ration. Say wheat bran, four or
six parts; corn meal two parts, and
linseed meal one part, by measure, and
feed the COW as much of that as she
shows herself able to pay for, whether
it four or eight quarts.

Barn Cellars.

Barn Cellars.
A barn without q cellar is only half
a barn and the farmer who don't feel
the need of cellar under his barn, or
whose system Of farming does not re-
quire it, is not more than half a far
mer. To be sure he can grow some
roots and put them in pits to which
he can resort day after day, through
winter, in snow and rain. We have
seen farmers do this, and some man.
age in this way for years, but it is no
way to do. 1t is better and cheaper
to have good barn cellar, frost.proof,
and ample in dimensions to contain
rutabagas, sugar-beets and pumpkins
for the COWS the winter through.
Many farmer can date the beginning
Of his prosperity in business to the
building Of a barn cellar. When he
has place to store roots he will grow
roots, and the feeding of roots in some
way starts things a.going on the farm
in the right course. Animals grow
faster, grain is saved, hay is saved,
the coarse provndeer is worked up and
all made into manure. Why, the
quantity of the latter is doubled.
Crops are better, things brighten up,
money is plentier- simply because
there is more to exchange for it, and
more to turn off all the while-all this
coming naturally from having barn
cellar. There are other advantages
which good cellar under a barn
brings, which need not he referred to
here. Cellars may be built in winter,
under barns already up.

are the very perfection Of grace and
neatness. The roots, being small, re-,
quire but little soil or pot-room, and
the vines shoot up rapidly. clinging to.
any slightssupport given in the form
OF tWine, wire. or .trellis. Plants ar6
easily produced from seed, or they can
be had very cheaply of almost any
florist: lido not think the merits Of
this neat little climbing plant are as
fully appreciated as they deserve by
those who take delight in cultivatinq
window plants, as tt is. especially
adapted to that purpose. While ma
jority of plants of a similar habit be.
come large coarse and cumbersome
when fully developed. the smilax new il,
er reaches such astage, but is always
light and graceful, no matter how
strong and vigorous the growth. IT. Is
extensively cultivated by our florists,
the gentler sex being their principal
customers, for Smilax enters largely
into "little nothings" which add 80
much to the grace and @beauty of the
final touches of lady's toilet. Al:
though the vine appears to be very
delicate and fragile. it is quite the re-
verse, for the stems are almost as
tough as iron wire, and the leaves re-
main fresh, without willing, a long
time after the twigs are separated
from the parent plant, even in a warm
and dry atmosphere, hence the special
adaptibility to the purpose named.
