Tho records of receipts show that tho water

TIE LARGEST CROP THAT TIE COUNTRY
HAS YET PRODUCED.
The grain crop Of tho United States this
autumn is vast increase over that of any
preceding year in the history of tho coun-
try. 1t amounts iu the two principal ccre--
uls, wheat and corn, to 1926, 900, 900 bushels
of the former, and 1880, 900 of tho
latter, according to the careful estimate Of
Nlr. Walker, the statistician of tho New
York Produce Exchange. The movement
of this enormous crop has just begun to
be felt, as up to tho past eight weeks tho
expectations wore of last years crop; but
tho sudden increase already noted gives
good promise of golden future. During
tho brief period mentioned our exports Of
wheat from the ports of New York, Mon.
trcal, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
Orleans and Portland have aggregated H.
525,lSS bushels, against an expectation
from the same ports during corresponding
period of last year Of 3,93S,951 bushels,
showingan increase Of 7,5SG,237 bushels.
There has also been an increase Of 7OS,234
bushels in the expectation Of rye during tho
same time, and in pens nu increase of 81,-
409 bushels. In corn alone has there been
a falling off to tho extcut of 1858, ,054 in
that time.
Tho following table presents the increase
of production and expectation in tho two
leading cereals in the past ten years.

1t removes all cruptions, itching

BY its tonic properties it restores

Girls Attitude to Young Men.

There is q thing Of which want 10 speak
aud that is the behaviour Of young girls to-
wards young men who are not lovers, but
simply friends. Let TIE tell you plainly that
our sex were not meant 10 be wooers.--
The custom prevalent among certain class
Of young ladies Of asking directly, or Indirect
ly, the attendance Of young gentlemen is not
an admirable custom. My son." said la
dy to me no: long since, sis much prejudiced
against young girl whom / admire, because
she is constantly sending him notes, Inviting
him to be her escort here and there, and plan
ming to have bin with her." A modest and
dignifed reserve, which is neither prudery nor
afectation, should distinguish your manner TO
gentlemen. Too great familiarity and too
evident pleasure 10 the society Of young men
are errors into which no delicate and pure
minded girl should fall.

No envi0rs beaux were there; no crOaking old

grandmothers. The birds Of Heaven were the
miuslrels; and the glad SKY flung its ligh!
upon the scene.
One thing about the first wedding brings
queer ideas to US in spite Of It's scriptural
truth. Adam and his wife we're rather young

Why did our Heavenly Father cause how-

earth? They are not food, they give no shell

absolute use, in the common meaning Of the
term. Wherefore, then, did the earth, by His
command, bring forth flowers? To beaulily
it, to enIiyeu it, to fling gladness aud bright
ness over the world What flowers are to the
earth, acts Of kindness, Of courtesy, Of hospi-
tally, are to men. How often gentle tone,

A Yankee Trick.

Just before the Declaration Of Independence,
Yankee peder started down to New York TO
sell lot of bowls and dishes be had made Of
maple. Jonathan travelled over the city, ask
ing everybody to buy bis wares, but no one
was disposed to purchase.
It happened that British feet was then
lying in the harbor of New York, aud Jona-
than struck upon a plan Of selling his dishes.
He 60, naval uniform by hook or by crook
lior history doesn't tell where he got III, and
strutting up town one morning, asked a mer-
chant if he had any nice wooden ware, as tho
commodore wanted lot for the fleet.
The merchant replied that he had none on
hand. but there was some in town-if he
would send in the afternoon he would supply
him with pleasure.
Every good" said our naval officer " l
VIII call"
Jonathan now cut for home by the shortest
route. and he had scarcely dofed his borrowed
plu,nage before down came the merchant, who
seeing that Jonathan had sold none OF bis
wares, offered to take the whole If he would
deduct fifteen per cent. hut Jonathan said
he'd be gol.darned If he didn't take EN- home,
before he'd take cent less than his FIRST price.
The merchant finally paid him down his
price for the wooden ware which laid on his
shelves fer many long day thereafter and
Jonathan trottcd home in high glee at tho
success Of bis mauGuvre, while tue merchant
cursed British officers ever after.

Fall Ploughing.


Without celebrating the many strong points
in favor Of Fall Ploughiug, few of the more
prominent benefits may be briefly stated as
follows:
l. October and November is an excellent
time to break up sod land for planting ;he fol-
lowing spring.
.. The weather is then cool and bracing,
aud the team strong aud hearty for the work /;
while the weather in spring Is more relaxing
and team less able; and spring work being al
ways hurrying, it saves time to despatch as
much Of the p!oughing as possible during the
previous autumn.
3. Sod land broken up late in autumn will
be quite free from growing grass the following
spring, the roots OF the late overturned sward
beiug So generally killed by the Immediately
succeeding winter that not much grass will
readily start in spring.
4. The lroStS Of winter dsintegra,e the
ploughcd land, SO that it readily crumbles in
fne particles in spring, and deep, mellow
seed bed is easily made. The chemical changes
aud notifications resulting from atmospheric
action during the winter, develop latent fertil-
ity in the upturned fuTrowS, which, together
with the melIowing influences, materially in-
crease the crop.
5. Most kinds Of insects are either wholly
destroyed, or their depredations materially
checked, by late fall ploughing; especially the
common white grub, and the cut worm.
G. Corn stubUlc land may be ploushed late
in the fall, and thus be all ready for very early
sowing in spring, thereby going far to insure
a good catch Of grass the roots Of the new
seeding getting hold well, or being well estab-
lished before The droughts Of summer come on.
