wheat last year. and though so green that
it would scarcely do to cock up, it raked

we have never been able to accomplish

in raking rowen. where it picks it up so
nicely that we were surprised and our ex-

had used it all the season on our hay.
We would commend to our readers an
examination of this rake if they are in
want of a horse rake; and say, moreover,

The Cleaner !" Horse Rake.

We have, in reports Of several of the
Fairs attended this season. noticed thu
" Cleaner and promised more extend
ed notice of it than we have given it, be.
lieving it worldly of such notice, and thai
our readers would be interested in reading
it. The " Cleaner " is manufactured bl

lately brought into more prominent notice

The Cleaner is twenty four tooth rake,
each tooth entirely separate and indeprn-

to hold it on the ground-nothng but the

hay with the least possible gathering OF

There are two bars furnished, to 20 on

TIE EsCUTCHEoN IN COWs.-Every
once in while some genius discovers
that there is no value in the escutcheon
marks of cattle, and soon again another
genius appears who claims that fyou can
get good escutcheon, you hardly need
any other part to the cow Alter u few
weeks bandyng of epithets the two par
ties subside, and another question occu-
pies the public attention. Now, for our
part we believe in the value of an escutch-
con mark as one indication of milking
quality. When we see it on an OK, we do
not seek for milk. When we see it on u
beef type of short-horn COW with every
other Indication of milking quality defoc-
tive, we do not allow the escutcheon mark
to convince us against our judgment. The
escutcheon mark is but one aid to us in
forming judgment of the milking quality
of COW, but an important point, if right
ly interpreted.
Our own observations appear to give
confirmation to the following rules:
An escutcheon mark means milk on a
dairy breed, but not necessarily on beel
breed of cattle.
The size of the escutcheon has a relative
and not an absolute significance. There.
fore the size as between COWS of different
breeds is of little account, but only as be-
tween cows of the same breed
The escutcheon mark assumes the most
prominence as guide, when the Other
marks of Il good mixer are present.
We have seen good COWS without gooC
escutcheon marks, but we have never
known poor mixer in n dairy breed
where many other marks of milking quail
ity are present, to have a good escutch
con. Indeed, as matter of observation
the best herds of milch-cows always, il
our opinion, have the best average escut
cheon marks.-Scientifc Furnser.

The family Cirtle.
Robbie Talks.

Mamma was very busy that morning.
So she gave Robbie II paper of tacks, and
the small hammer, and stationed him away
off in the other corner of the room. Driv-
ING nails was his favorite amusement, and
kept his tongue more quiet than anything
else. So, as soon as he was busly at work
mailing away on piece of board, mamma
took her work, hoping to have II quiet
hour. But Robbie was especially sociable
that morning.
Mamma" he began, after he had driv-
en- grove Of lacks into the board, Il

said nothing, and he went on; take Il
hoop just the size you want your wheel;
then have an axle turned, of course, an
holes bored in for spokes; an then take
sticks, and stick all round, an tack it on
to the hoop. Don't you think that is the
best way?'

Mamma" sail he again, coming up
toward her, " l can turn sumnerset Do
you want to see me turn one over?'
NO." said mamma, "go and play"
"What shall play?' he asked, I've
driven all the taoks | want to. It's mis- bic
driving tacks all the time"
"Well, then, take your blocks, said
mamma.

they were, but then said "What shall |

For few minutes he WAS still, and
mamma became very much absorbed in
her work. Pretty soon he began talking,
in low tone, to himself.
"Oh dear! This engine is so loaded it

Mamma took no notice, and he went on
singing softly to himself, mixing scraps of

that he was not to talk, " don't you s'pose

So we have all been to the Fair; we
have seen the horses trot; we have looked
over the cattle and sheep; have inspected
the pigs and the poultry. Floral Hall has
spread out its treasures before us; the
rugs and the tides have driven every man
to the extreme of eXasperation by their
profusion, and the recollection of their de
praved and mischievous behavior, in al
ways missing up under mans feet, and

stand against these, his natural enemies.
Then we have gazed with respectful ad-
miralion on the bed quilt with 100000
pieces (on looking at the figures it seems
as if they were Il cipher or two on of the
way, one way or the othrr), and wondered
whether he Aoman who made it kept II

"PLYMoUTH ROCKS. plymouth Rocks,
being composite breed, have some pc
culiarities that render them difficult to
breed by the ordinary amateur, for if a
pair that are perfectly mated for exhibit
tons he put into breeding pen, the al
most CERTAIN result will be lot of nearly
black, dark-legged pulles, with cookrels
that may be good in color of plumage,
but will very apt fail in color of leg and
beak. In fact, we know of no standard
variety that requires more Judgment and
care in mating up for breeding, no one
that a knowledge of the parents of the
birds to be mated, is more necessary than
Plymouth Rocks.
There is no question but the Plymouth
Rocks are now attracting more attention
than any of the new varieties, at least it is
so in the western and southern states,
and they are destined to become more
popular as the economic merits become
known, combining in themselves, as they
do, large size, good laying and table quail

hardness. Being good mothers, with not

TIE GREAT WALL OF CnINA.-The
great wall of China was measured in many
places by Mr.. Unthauk, an American
engineer, lately engaged on survey for
II Chinese railway. His measurements
give the height at eighteen feet and Il
width on top of fifteen feet. Every few
hundred yards there is II tower twenty
four feet square, and from twenty TO forty
five feet high The foundation of the wall
is of solid granite. Mr.. Unthank brought
with him u brick from the wall, which is
supposed to have been made 200 years B.
C. In building this immense stone fence
to keep out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted TO avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 300 miles the wall
goes over plain and mountain, and every
foot of the foundation is in solid granite,
and the rest of the structure solid mason
nv. In some places the wall is built ur
against the bank, or canons, or precipices,
where there is sheer descent of thou
sand feet. Small streams are arched over,
but in the larger streams the wall runs to
the waters edge, and tower is built on
either side. On the top of the wall there
are breastworks or defenses, facing in and
out, so the defending force can pass from
one tower TO another without being eX.
posed to an enemy from either side. To
calculate the time of building or cost of
this wall is beyond human skill. So far
as the magnitude of the work is concerned,
it SURPRISES everything in ancient or mod
ern times of which there Is any trace. The
pyramids of Egypt are nothing compared
to it.

AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGEs.-You state
in the issue of your paper of the 22d ult,
that "our agricultural colleges have
failed thus far to meet public expectation,
us they have done little toward educating
farmers sons who desire to follow farm
ing as vocation" Deeming your deduc-
ton true, think your suggestion for hin
Grant instruction by lectures and discus
sions are of great practical value, provided
the right kind of men can be found and
induced to take the field for this kind of
work. 1t is doubtful whether any better
medium for dfusing useful and practical
knowledge among farmers, actually en-
gagged in this vocation, can be named that
the one, Mr.. Editor, suggested by yourself.
This would have tendency to make every
good farm in this Commonwealth (and
every other) an experiment station, which
should be in constant and intimate COM
munication with the professor of chemis-
try in the State Agricultural College.
