LOST NATION WHEAT.

The past season has been aremarkable one
to test the different varieties Of wheat raised
in the State. With the grasshoppers in the
western part of the State and the drouth in
eastern, the wheat that gave anything like
fair yield this year will certainly to cult
vate.
A year ago last spring J. II. Wood and
Martin Logue each brought in new variety
Of wheat called Lost Nation, and raised
good crops of it last year, the wheat yield
ing from eight to ten bushels more per acre
than any other variety. This year several
other parties secured some Of this wheat for
seed and all are more than satisfied with it.
While all the old varieties of wheat were al
most wholly destroyed by the grasshoppers,
the Lost Nation proved too much for The
pests, and in spite of the fact that all the
leaves were gnawed off and the fields were
swarrning for several weeks, every farmer
who had this wheat obtaineda fair crop
eight bushels per acre being the smallest
Weld that has yet been reported, while some
have threshed sixteen and twenty. franks
as No. fine, in market, being hard and
making the very best flour.
Many here have such faith in the Lost Ma
ton being hopper-procf that much of it will
be sown next season. There will be several
hundred bushels for sale i'll this vicinity, and
any wishing to obtain the seed can do so by
calling OH those who have 1t, or by applying
at this Office will be directed to those who
have it for sale.-Jackson (lfia,e.) Republic.

HINTS TO FARMERS.

The better animals can be fed, and the
more comfortable they can be kept, the
more serviceable they are-and all farmers
work for profit.
/ Ground once well plowed is better than
thrice poorly.
Bountiful crops are more profitable than
poor ones. Make the soil rich, pulverize it
well and keep it clean, and it will generally
be productive.
Weeds that are allowed to grow unmolest-
cd around fences. stumps and stones, scatter
their seeds over the farm, and are very like
" to grow.
Cows well fed in winter give more milk in
summer.
An OK that is in good condition in the
spring will perform more labor and stand
the heat of Summer much better than i poor
one.
When you see the fence down put it up :;
if it rem aims until tomorrow the cattle NAV
get over.
What ought to be done to-day, do it; for
tomorrow ycu may have something else
to do.
4 "A strong horse will work all day without
food, but keep him at it, and he will not last
long.
A rich soil will produce good crops with
out manure, but will soon tire.
Farmers sons had better learn to hold the
ploW, and feed the pigs, than measure tape
and count buttons.
Young ladies who have the good fortune
to become farmers wives, will find it much
more profitable to know how to make john
ny cake, butter and cheese, than to play on
the piano.
All who wish to be rich must spend less
than they earn.

THE ONLY WAY.
Yorker.

IF farmers would become influential they
must become intelligent; they must acquire
knowledge as other men do. They must
read good books and good papers-not
merely the one-sided political trash with
which the country is flooded, but papers
that deal in food for thought and contain
valuable information. They are advised to
have friendly discussions with their neigh
bors, to attend debating societies and other
public gatherings, and take part in the pro-
ceediLgs.
Above all they must provide their families
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-11-09

with healthy intellectual food. There are a
great many farmers to-day living up to these
requirements, more than there ever were
before in the worlds history Such are
ornaments to their profession, and they
have influence. But all are not so. Let
each one labor to make the number of such
greater; there is no need that single other
Ignorant farmer should grow up in this
country. Who can imagine the condition
of the country if the farmers We're all as in
telligent as those of certain other callings :
And they ought to be. They must be-

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

The lady who conducts the s'Housekeep-
er " in the Germantown Telegraph contrib
utes the following recipes to it's columns:
Steamed K,auckle of Mutton.-Take a
knuckle Of mutton, cover with cut parsley.
few capers, finely cut onions, and thin
slices OF turnips; season with pepper and
salt; let it steam or simmer gently for an
hour and half, and then have ready melt
cd butter and pour over, allowing it again
to steam or simmer for twenty minutes. "A
beautiful gravy will have collected, and the
meat be as tender as chicken. Garnish
with Paysadu tongue, warmed previously
by steam The price of this tongue is far
less than our British article, and it has q
sweet taste.
Brussels Sprouts Tossed IN Butte,.--Trim
them neatly and wash them in several wat
ers. Put them to boil in salted water, and
when almost done strain and dry them in q
cloth. Put them in saucepan with large
piece of butter, pepper, salt, and grated nut
meg to suit the taste. loss them gently on
the fire. Cook them until they are quite
done.
B,'oiling Meats.-When meats are broiling
on gridiron over hot Goals, the sudden heat
applied sears the outside, which shuts in the
juices, and the rapid application of heat soon
cooks the meat through, if in moderately
thin pieces. 1t is then tender, juicy and
palatable. Those who never broil their
fresh meat, fish, or poultry, do not know
the excellence of a properly-cooked dish Of
animal food.
Squad Pie.-Season highly some neck
mutton-chops with pepper and salt, place
them in dish in layers, with plenty Of
sliced apples (sweetencd) and chopped on
ions; cover with good suet crust and bake.
When done pour all the gravy out at the
side, remove the fat, and flavor with mush-
room catsup. Pour it back through hole
in the center of the pie.
Chilaren's Pudding.-Cut up loaf of stale
bread the day before it is required, and put
to soak in pan of cold water; when going
to mix, squeeze the water through colan-
der; put the bread in pan, with two
ounces of saet chopped fine, two tablespoon
fu)s of flour, some grated ginger, little
mixed spice; beat well up with fork mix
half pound of treacle (not golden sirup)
with little warm milk, then stir altogether
and boil three hours in cloth, basin or mold.
This will make large pudding, much liked
by children. II is inexpensive and whole
some.

A G RIC j L T i RAJ.
SCIENTIFIC FARMING.

There is no word more misunderstood Or,
perhaps, distorted among farmers, than the
word science as applied to agriculture. 1t
is deemed an empirical, arbitrary, Nightly
inc Something, created by clique of men
filled with vagaries and destitute of COM
nonsense, to be shunned-to be fought off
like encroaching flames.
How can the farmer be made to know that
in just so far as his own operations are con-
Quoted skillfully, he is himself scientific
farmer whether he would or no! We once
heard well-to-do farmer say: elf l fol-
lowed the instructions of your agricultural
Journals and books [ should fail in two
years" From his view he was right. He
was set in the belief that such journals are
written up by men who have gained their
idea of farming from books alone and who
are stuffed with all sorts of impractical theo-
ries to the exclusion of all that it is the out
growth of labor and observation in the field.
Trustworthy agricultural periodicals i'm
part, or aim to impart, only the most effic-
lent methods. They aim to spread over. the
land every new theory that promises to in
crease the farm yield with the same OF less
labor and expense. They do not ask or ex-
pect the farmer to accept their statements
(detractory or laudatory) upon faith, but to
excite inquiry and experiment to the end
that the good may be accepted, the bad re-
jected. Is there shorter or easier road to
progress?
Can any farmer suppose that whereas
every other science is progressing with
palpable strides from generation to gen
eration--we might almost say from year
to year-that the science of farming not
only remains but ever must remain IN statu
quo?
1t is all wrong to suppose that the editors
of and contributors to agricultural journals,
as we'll as the authors of agricultural works,
are office-men and know little or nothing of
farm practice. Many OF them have made
practical farming the study of their lives.
They obtain by work the fabric out of which
to shape new material. The hands are made
the instruments of furnishing the mind with
food which, added to the recorded ,eachings
OF those IN years past, form the elements OUT
of which original ideas are elaborated and
scientific progress insured.
The type farmer, as we may designate
him, differs from the scientific farmer in but
one respect, viz: the former looks to results
mainly, the latter to causes as well For
instance, the unscientific farmer applies lime
to two fields. Upon the one the crop Is un-
questionably benetited-upon the other un-
questionably injured. He concludes that
the one field needs lime, the other does not
and this conviction is sure to be fixed fol
life.
The scientific farmer finds in these oppo
site effects important data upon which Il
establish principles universally applicable
Ills firstinquiry is as to the cause of the dif
ference. Was one field deficient in lime, th'

Tue following is an extract from the
summary of the agricultural returns of
Great Britain for 1876:
The number of acres under wheat is q
974,59S, which is decrease Of 1914 per cent.
as compared with last year. There are a.
7Ss,5S9 acres under oats, being an increase
of AZ per cent. over the year 1876. There
are 2, 2,535, JOG acres under barley, which give
an Increase of 90 per cent. over 1874. Po-
tatoes are planted in 504 ,913 acres, being 3.4
per cent. less than last year. Hops are re-
rurned as 69,OS0 acres, which is an increase
OF IL per cent as compared with last year.
The total number OF livestock in Great
Britain up to June, 1876, was 5,S4S. .214 cat
tie, 2S,l78,05o sheep, and 5,293,7l7 pigs.
These figures, as compared with 1876, show
an increase OF 2.7 per cent. cattle, decrease
OF 81 per cent. in sheep, and an increase Of
20 per cent. in pigs.

fession that the platform upon which he is
nominated and his letter of acceptance do
not cover the points at issue in the cam
paign, a confession too that the purposes of
the Democratic party are mistrusted by the
people and that it is absolutely necessary to
Democratic success that this distrust should
be removed. The letter is evidently put out
at this late date in order to influence the re-
suit in New York, New Jersey and Connec-
ticut, and in hopes that sufficient time will
not be afforded for it to circulate to any ex-
tent in the South. For The first time too in
this campaign Democrat comedies that
these claims may pass. Hitherto that as
sumption has been secuted by Democratic
speakers and journals. Taking Mr.. Tiden
at his word, it must be remembered that his
veto will be of bills passed by his party con-
trolled by the Southern element, eager for
the payment of claims, and that he must rely
upon Republicans to see that his veto is sus.
tained. His act will be in direct antagonism
to his party, and we all know how hard it is
to resist party pressure. Mr.. Tilden has not
always succeeded in the past. His position
is in striking contrast to that of Gov. Hayes,
upon whom no man thinks of calling to state
his position or that of his party in regard to
this matter. The people will prefer to vote
for candidate who is not compelled to deny
that he intends to reimburse rebels for losses
incurred in rebellion, and for a Congress
which will render veto unnecessary.
