THE WALTER A. WOOD BINDER.

The first machine started in the Cente
nial Field Exhibition was the Walter
Wood harvester with the lock binder attat
ment. The ordinary harvester carried E
grain to the binder, where it was compre-
ed by two arms and held While a third fn
surrounded it with wire, and on its Wy
made perfect twist knot. In this shapee
sheaf was discharged from the machinn
good order The binder being indepsl-
ent of the rest Of the implement, was r.
ried backwards and forwards by a levin

Bile of binding the center Of the sheaf oihe

and had another lever by which the si OF
the sheaf is regulated at will.
The whole working of the machinevas
thrown out of gear by a simple foot FER

A CHEAP and convenient trellis for toma-
toes is a four square frame for every hill. 1t
requires corner posts, each about two feet
long and one inch square, and three pieces
of lath, each one foot long, nailed on each of
the four sides. Such trellses cost only a few
cents, and save many times their cost in to-
matoes. If such a trelis be placed around
each hill before the plant has fully grown,
the fruit will be kept off the ground. 1t
stored during winter, and thus will last a
score of years-especially if dipped before

many objections to all binders where wire
is used, instead of the grain itself, seems to
be the wire in threshing. Mr.. Locke, the in
ventor, has constructed pair Of shears hy
which he can, with one hand and one mo-
tim, seize, cut and hold the binding wire at
tie thresher and, feeding sheaf to the
tlresher, throw the Wire to any required
slDt or receptacle. This he claims to be
entirely unnecessary, as, in his opinion, the
Wfe is no detrlment to proper threshing.
fe has constructed it, as he says, merely to
sHe the trouble of combating the prejudice
against the wire. [ am informed that the
W|lter A. Wood Co. have expended a fabu-
los sum OF money in perfecting this binder,

his company deserves the greatest credit
fortheir enterprise and farsightedness. I

TT FIELD EXHIBITION OF REApERs

FIN our Centennial correspondence we
Qscer that the recent exhibition of reap
ers sracted much attention and developed
mangood results. Novelties in this class
OF lDlements were numerous and interest
ing q the whole affair was of much more
imptance to our readers than was gener-
allylticipated. No one can read the re-
porhd the articles descriptive of the ma
ct1ny without approaching the fact that
nnnse labor and sums of money are an
luaF expended in experiments, many of
Whio are fruitless, while others produce
resus amply compensating for all failures.
IIhesreatest feature of this year is the au-
'tomtic binder, of which there are several
noWin the field.
", are sorry to see also a further report
upo the causes of the evident neglect of
the gricultural interests at the Centennial.
IT tlis argument of the light subscription
to centennial stock by the rural population
IS TIE prevailing reason in the Commission.
We'egret that such set of men were ever
appinted. Perhaps our correspondent has
noreached the root of the matter yet; but
if le has and this is the actual cause of the
general snubbing to which this department
hasbeen Obliged to submit, our readers will
fully understand with whom they have to
dea. The harvesting trial was success
so n as it could be made one by the Exhi-
bitrs, who did most of the work and bore
met of the expenses individually. a new
lido seems to have struck the Centennial
maagers in relation to the live stock eXhi-
biDn, for, rs will be seen by the regulations
prlted Oh another page OF this issue, they
areXtremely liberal and make it an attract
iyfcature of the Exhibition and one very
hitting to breeders and exhibitors generally.
PNaps they read the papers occasionally
nbegin to discover that they have made a
intake in putting in the background the
sol producing industries Of this country.

interest in his calling. There are star actors
upon the stage, leaders Of political parties,

who stand as beacon lights in every field OF
labor, to whom we turn for instruction and
counsel. They have travelled the long road
of experience With gigantic strides, master
ed those problems which, to the multitude
of followers, are unsolved mysteries, and all
this has been accomplished by 'mantest-
ing an active and abiding interest" in the
several branches of industry or trade to
which their lives have been devoted In
every walk of life we may ever see two
classes of men, each performing their self
appointed tasks, the one ever tagging be-
hind the other. Co. if you please, into our
Legislative halls. The few earnest, jealous,
untirine workers frame the various enact
ments to be presented for the approval or
dsapproval of the many who are to say yes
or no. They vote right it may be. but they
never originate bill, never by their own
endeayors supply what may be needed,
never seek for the means by which a wrong
may be righted. But we need not go abroad
for examples for the suitable illustration of
our subject. Our farmers throughout the
country are divided into the same distinct
grades and classes. A very large majority
of our husbandmen are what we call about

CHANGE OF SEED.

ChANuE Oe SEED.
If there is any one thing that contributes
more than another to success or failure in
farming, it seems to me it is the changing or
not changing of seed. Bycontinued sowing
Of the same seeds in the same climate and
on the same soil, serious deterioration
seems to take place and the yield becomes
less and less and the quality of the grain
poorer and poorer Then, again, most farm
ers fail to select the best, even of their own
crops, for seed Or to keep their seed grain
free from weed seeds and other kinds of
grain, so that even to get clean seed, tits
necessary for them to buy seed grain that
has been carefully raised, so as to be tree
from all foreign admixtures.
1t is of great Importance that farmers
should frequently exchange seeds from one
neighborhood to another, and from one sec
ton of country to another, and even from
one part to another Of the same farm. 1t is
we'll known how much larger the yield and
better the quality all grains of northern ori-
gin produce for a few years, after being
freshly brought from their native region. 1t
is sufficiently SO to fully account for the ex-
traordinary productiveness of Norway oats
and the many new varieties of potatoes.
TO illustrate the point, a few years ago the
writer got some seed wheat from far north,
and the product the first year was twenty
bushels to the acre and the quality excellent.
a neighbor, an old Frenchman, also had
wheat that year, and While growing and
when ready TO cut, it looked as we'll as that
from the northern seed upon threshing.
the yield was only seven or eight bushels
per acre, and this in region of country
where the average crop is perhaps twelve to
fifteen bushels per acre. l said to my neigh
Dor, "why don't you change your seed y
He replied in his broken English, sob, he
yer good seed. Had him twenty years y
and so he had, and that was what was the
matter.
Again, in buying to change seed. ono
should try to secure improved seed and vari
eties, and thus accomplish double object
or kill two birds with one stone.' There
; is serious loss in raising wheat, oats Or bar
ley that will give small yield of inferio
grain when change Of seed will change TIT
yield for the better Or in raising eight
twelve or fourteen rowed corn, with shallow
grains, when by getting improved yarietie
one can have twenty to thirty rows OF ke1

! fourths of an inch Farmers, change AM

D MESTIC ECONOM MY,

Jumables.-Take six eggs; a cup and a
half OF sugar; one Of butter; beat to a
froth; add flour enough to roll flavor to
taste; cut out with large tumbler, and
cut out the middle with the top of a small
canister, to leave perfect ring. They should
be rolled in powdered sugar, and baked in a
quick oven.
Coohlcs.-Two cups of sugar, one half
cup of butter. one cup of sweet milk. one
teaspoontul OF baking powder, flour enough
to roll, carraway seeds if liked. Mix the
baking powder thoroughly through the
flour
Ho,o to Cook Green Peas.-Wash and plt
them into enough boiling water to nearly
cover them, add one teaspoontul of sugar.
a lump of baking soda the size of large
pea, to every quart of peas, when tender,
add good lump of butter, salt to taste.
Send to the table with the water in which,
they are boiled. Omit the sugar when
cooking the Champion of England variety.
| would suggest to my city COUSINS who
are unable to procure peas fresh picked from
the vines, to try this recipe and doubt not
they will pronounce it delicious.
CA7unt eJelly.--Fill porcelain ket-
tie with currants we'll picked over, but not
stemmed, setlt over the fire until the cur
rants are thoroughly heated, when cool
strain through a jelly bag and measure the
juice, return to the fire, and boil briskly tor,
t\yantu Dninntac
sugar to each pint of juice, stir until thor
oughly dissolved, pour into glasses or bowls,
and seal when cold. My practice in max
ing jelly, is to use the Gu rrants soon as ripe
not delay one day if allowed to get fully
mature or as commonly termed "dead ripe
there is more dittiallty in making good
jellys
Beef fCahes.-Chop pieces of roast beef veyv
fine, mix in grated bread crumbs in propro-
ton of one-third crumbs to two-thirds beef;
season with pepper, salt, chopped onions
and parsley moisten with little of the
drippings or catsup; q little cold ham or
tongue will improve them make in fiat
cakes, and spread Il coat of mashed pota-
toes on the bottom of each. Lay piece Of
butter on every cake and set in hot oven
to brown. Other cold meats may be pre-
pared in the same way.
Fresh Meat Griddles.- Chop bits of anv
cold roast meat, season with pepper and salt.
make gfiddle batter, put spoonful of the
chopped meat and on this another spoonful
OF the batter When cooked on one side
turn-When done, send to the table hot.
They are very nice for breakfast or lunch.
Hoao to Cook Codfsh.-Put the fish to SOAK
in cold water over night. In the morning re-
move il into fresh warm water, and set hy
the fire half an hour previous to its being
dished up, change into fresh water, and SIM
mer over the fire nearly to boiling heat, but 10
higher. This management does not draw
out, but reyives and enlivens the nutritious
substance in them and leaves the fish ten
der ard delicious.

THE NEW ELEVATOR.
BEACH, wESTCoTT & CO.

We we're pleased with visit to this
new institution few days since, which
commences the anniversary year under most
favorable auspices The building is COM
plete and substantial, the dimensions of
which have heretofore been given.
The machinery, consisting of a corn
shelter, elevators and fine run of stone
for grinding corn and feed, ire of the lat
est improved patterns and work like a
charm, enabling the proprietors to turn
out first class work on the shortest notice.
The whole is propelled by a thirty-fve
horse power engine, furnishing ample pow
er to drive all the machinery, which runs
without noise or friction.
Great skill has been brought to bear
in the general arrangement of the machin-
cry to save manuel labor, do fine work,
and perfect the most complete thing of its
kind to be found on the line of the d. &
NJ. Road, or elsewhere.
We congratulate the farmers of this vi
cinity that they have such a market and
such facilities for the transaction and dis
patch of their business, which cannot fail
to be appreciated.
The gentlemanly proprietors, so well
known by all for their promptness and de-
sire to please, are now paying the highest
prices the markets will warrant, with
full weight and measure meted out to
each and MI who may favor them with
their business. We hope their expectN-
tions may be realized, commensurate with
the enterprise, which has been put in Oper
alton at heavy expense.

To our friends aud patrons we say that
book accounts with us are among the

mode of doing business, We are only actu
ated by desire not only to benefit our
selves, but also our friends AMI customers,
who will receive the benefit of lower prices
and will not be compelled to go elsewhere
to buy goods che1p for ca'h. When we
started into business, over twenty years ago
the county was comparatively new farm

credit. The prosperity of all classes OF
people since, does away VITA the necessity
