The most important efFect Of the war in
America, however, Is likely 10 DO the in
creased demand for breadstufEs and provi-
sions. Russia and Turkey are both export
ers Of grain, and If the Black sea should be
closed an important granary would be
locked up. The gravity Of the situation is
greatly enhanced by the exhaustion Of prai.
rie wheat in this country and by the prob.
able failure Of the California crop for 1877.
The California crop has been great add.
ton to the wheat supplies OF the world the
crop for 1876 has all been shipped and most
Of IL has been received aud taken into con.
sumption in Europe by this time. The past
winter has been 80 dry on the Pacific coast
that mol more than n fourth Of crop is an
ticipated the coming season. In the Miss.
issippi valley, the last crop was short and is
nearly exhausted, but large and early crop
Of winter wheat is anticipated, which will
doubtless bring high prices. The great corn
crop Of last year, which has gone abroad 90
richly, both as corn and as pork, will doubt
less be repeated this season, If the weather is
of average favor. Flour advanced from Is
to 25 cents barrel at New York the other
day, and corn and wheat from one to two
cents per bushel.
California, by the way, is very blue over
threatened loss at once Of her wheat crop
and her wool. The failure Of Isaac Fried.
lander, the wheat king, as he has been
called, is not in itself probably misfortune.
He was man Of great affairs, and was the
autocrat Of the wheat market on that Goa at.
When the crop was assured he ordered
thither the fleets Of the world to carry il to
market It was magnificent business, mag
ni6cently done, but it got too big for one
man, and he has gone down under it. As
for the wool, it brings prices sa low that the
farmers are killing their sheep, and the
agents Of the New England manufacturers
are going to the colonial wool sales 10 Lon.
don or to the Mississippi valley. If the
Californians insist on calling dirt and burs
wool, they must take the consequences. In
short the question is coming homo to the
California farmer, as TO every other, whether
he is willing to put hard work and brains
into his ess.-Springfeld Republican

Winter Trimming of Apple Trees.

The Massachusetts Ploughnaan recommends
the trimming of orchards in winter, and says,
although some farmers claim that June is
really the best time to trim their orchards,
very few attend to it then on account of the
pressure Of other work, and so we must at
tend to it in the mild days of winter. To trim
properly, using good sense, is rather nice OPP
Grafton and hence it is better to select mild
pleasant weather. A man up in an apple
tree, with the thermometer at zero, is not in a
position to stop and think and examine very
critica ly. We do not like to be compelled to
cut off very large limbs. Training and shap-
ing should be attended to while the tree is
young and then there will seldom be neces-
sity of removing very large branches in trim
ming. The object is to get rid of waste and
dead wood, limbs that cross others, that hang
too low, the sprouts that start out and disfg-
ure the tree. Cut smooth, but not too close
ly. All the trees in an orchard should be care
fully examined at least as often as once year
and such limbs as grow ont of proportion
shortened little, and all surplus wood taken
out. This can be better done on mild days in
in winter than at any other time"

uocd;cs far Choked Cattle,

A Quaker has a remedy for choked cattle,
cunful of soft SOAP dissolved in a pint, or lit
tie more, of warm water and poured down the
threat of the choked animal. As soon as ad-
ministered the apple or potato is thrown up in
stantly upon passing the hand upon and along
the throat. He allows his cattle to eat apples
or potatoes without cutting, being positive that
if one should choke he can relieve the animal
instantly. A correspondent says that cattle
may be relieved when choked by being made to
jump over bars left as high as the animal can
be made to Jump. j; B; Jones says that
it in the animals mouth as far back as possible,
which viii cause vomiting and speedy s.hg5 relief
the second may not be handy, the best thing
ever saw land never knew it to fail>, is to take
a round stick, eighteen inches long and put it
in the animals mouth, the same as you would
the bit into ia horses mouth, having the stick
as large as can be put into the mouth II can
be fastened by strings tied to the horns. Turn
the animal loose, and it will soon throw the
articles out, and it will not make it sick like
tobacco. have seen it tried great many
times in this section.

Principles Governing Rotation.

1. However well soil may be prepared,
1t cannot long nourish crops of the same kind
in succession without becoming exhausted.
2. Every crop impoverishes soil more or
less, according as more or less is restored to
the soil by the plant cultivated.
8. Perpendicular roofing plants and such
as root horizontally ought to succeed each
other.
4. Plants of the same kind should not re-
turn too frequently In rotation.
s.. Two plants favorable to the growth OF
weeds should not succeed each other.
9. Such plants as eminently exhaust the
soil, as the grains and oil plants, shonld only
be sown when the land is in good heart.
Z. In proportion as a soil is found to ex-
haust itself by successive crops. plants which
are least exhaustive should be cultivated.
Our farmers have only to keep these seven
fundamental principles in mind in order 10
keep their land rich for all time.

Mr. F. B. Thurber, of New York, writing
from Japan to the American Grocer, gives
the following account of the Japanese method
OF cooking rice. "Only just enough cold wa
ter is poured on so as to prevent the rice from
burning at the bottom of the pot, which has
close-fitting cover, and, with moderate fire,
the rice is steamed rather than boiled, until it
is nearly done; then the cover is taken of, the
surplus steam and moisture allowed to escape,
and the rice turns out mass OF snow-white
kernels, each separate from the other, and as
much superior to the usual soggy mass we
usually get in the United States as fine
mealy potato is superior to the water-soaked
article. have seen something approaching
this in our Southern States, but do not
think even there they can do it as skiltully as
it is done here, and in the Northern States
but very few persons understand how to cook
is here, the consumption of this wholesome
and delicious cereal would largely increase in
America

Syrup of Coffee.

This preparation is of great use to those
who have long journeys to make. Take half
pound of the best ground coffee; put it into
a saucepan, containing three pints Of water,
and boil it down to one pint. Cool the
liquor, put it into another saucepan, well
secured, and boil it again. As it bois, add
white sugar enough to give it the consistency
of syrup. Take it from the fire, and when it
is cold put it into bottle, and seal. When
travelling, if you wish for a cup of good
coffee, you have only to put two teaspoonsfuls
of the syrup into an ordinary cup, then pour
boiling water upon it and it is ready for use.

None may but reverence thy noble power,
Thy infinite wisdom. and thy strong, deep truth;
But mounting passion, the inspired poetic YOUTH
Not earths, but Heavens genias lacks in thy DOVER
All nature hast thou, save its skies; but the hour
OF a celestial madness has not smiled
On thee thy mind was never youth or child
Thou art the oak, that does not bear the Hover.
Thou 'rt burning carbon, lacking the one touch
To make it diamond, -or the nymph thou art,
Giv'n all attributes of the high Gods, such
That thou hast grand form, beauty of face, warm

A Kicking Cow.

The best remedy for kicking cows is con-
tinued kind and gentle treatment. This is
the most powerful agent that can be brought
to bear in controlling them. I know of no
place where the injunction to return good for
evil is more eficacious than in the treatment
of cows which kick, or start, or are uneasy, or
fractions, because they are in some way hurt
or disturbed. The first thing to be done
when COW kicks is for the manager to 'keep
COOL" II he caunot do so he had better step
aside and let another, who can, take his
place. He is entirely unfit for bis position,
and is out of place in the milking barn. 1.-The
can master himself, the next thing is to ascer-
tain the cause of the misconduct on the part
of the animal. A COW seldom kicks unless
she is in some way hurt or made uncomfort-
able or disturbed with excitement or fright.
Remove the cause of hurting or uneasness,
if possible, before attempting to milk. If the
teats or udder are sore, wash them in
warm water, or rub them with oil or some e.
mollient, to make them soft and pliable, so
that the hurting shall be removed or made as
light as possible. If from anxiety about her
calf or her relation to the rest of the herd,
or from fright, place her before attempting to
milk where these causes will be out OF her
way, and then with quiet treatment and
soothing tones let the milking proceed care
fully and as rapidly as is consistent with COM
fort, and in almost every case the vicious hab
it and disposition will be overcome.-PRoF.
