A GRICU 1t i RAJ.

The work of plowing and seeding is rap.
idly progressing in all quarters of our Terri
tory. But have our farmers ever yet paused
to consider the many difficulties liable to be
encountered the coming season? The sup
ply of and demand for various products
likely to be experienced at marketing time ?
The first and most important question is
what can be most successfully produced.
In our humble judgment he that sows the
greatest variety will stand the best chance
to do we'll. Grasshoppers will most GER
tanly appear in force OH most Of our val
leys and though the experience of the past
has taught lis much OF the warfare to wage
against these destroyers, yet we must ex-
pect to suffer to Il considerable extent. This
makes the sowing of a great diversity OF
crops more urgent. as there are some that
are much less liable to injury than others.
Besides this, if we have no hoppers diversi-
fled crops will be the best, since the pro-
ducton would be large and prices most
likely to rule low and he that had the great
est,variety would find a good market for
some one article which would enable him to
hold those that were not in demand for
hetter season. With the present appliances
there are many localities where those who
will make the exertion can fight grasshop-
pers with sufficient success to save three
lourths of crop. But there are many who
ignore this idea of Il warfare against them
entirely, and the only hope of such is in di-
versity of products. Some attention must
also be given to tie time of sowing. As
general rale early grain is best, but as there
are objections to all general rules, the best
plan will be to sow the main crop carly and
reserve small acreage-enough, at least,
'or nome consumption Of the different COM
nodltles, and sow this very late. The
c'ances are three to one in favor of early
sowing, but in the event it should fail the
la'e sowing will come in good play.

perhaps, be advantageous. In other words,
it is not improbable that drouths are some
times useful by promoting the disintegration
of the soil in way that has hitherto been
unsuspected.
Prof. Storer discusses this proposition at
length, introducing his own analyses and
reviewing the chemical literature upon the
subject. The chief points arrived at by his
Investigations are, that while percolates OBJ
tanned by teaching moist loans with pure
water generally contain very little, if any,
super-carbonatc of line, appreciable quanti-
ties of this compound are contained in the
percolates from moist loans that have been
thoroughly air-dry for some little time. lie
remarks that the subject could be best stud
led in some locality like California, where
drouths are periodical; and it is in such
countries, doubtless, that the good effects of
the disintegrations and other reactions in
the soil, due to dissolved super-carbonate of
lime, will be most conspicuous. Rrof.
Storer's proposition is interesting. 1t would
indeed be comforting to reflect that during
our dry months there are agencies at work
which moist soils do not foster, aud that the
sere plains are restoring their strength and
fertility-b by preparing new food for the plants
which the coming OF the rains call forth to
life and growth. .-Rurat Press.

AN INTERESTING CHARACTERISTIC OF
DRY SOILS

An interesting point Of local application
to our soils which are dry Tor months to-
gether, is mooted in a paper in the last bull
letin of the Busy Institution, by the able
Professor of Agricultural Chemistry, F. FL.
Storer. Prof. Storey found by analysis of
water, which had been allowed to percolate
through specimens OF air-dried soils, that
carbonate of lime is dissolved in abundance
from most cultiyable loans when they are
treated with cold water after they have been
long dry. Even the purist water, which OF
itself is completely free from carbonic acid,
produces this effect, and will be found to
hold, dissolved, a noteworthy amount of
carbonate of lime, after it has been allowed
to trickle through quantity of dry loan.
The solution of the lime carbonate is mani
festly due, at least for the most, part, says
Prof. Storer, to the presence OF carbonic
acid which the water takes up from the por-
es of the soil; and the solution of super-car-
Donate of lime is SO general with different
specimens of loan, and so we'll marked, that
it is impossible to escape the conviction that
it must play highly important part as an
active chemical agent in the economy of ma
ture. 1t is plain that the solution i'll ques-
ton must exert no inconsiderable influence
upon the formation of soils and growth of
crops, as well as upon the maintenance of
the fertility of the land, even in countries
that are wholly devoid of limestone, in the
ordinary acceptation of the idea. The spec
Ia
in earth that has long been dry, goes to
show, Prof. Storer continues, that the occa-
sional. absence, Of. water from. sells, may,

times week. In this case it would be nee
essary to mix the cream of two days to-
gether, but mo cream Should be added less
than ten or twelve hours before churning
when it should be thoroughly stirred and
allowed to stand where it will reach tenn
perature of 5S or GO degrees" Immediately
after emptying the pans they should be
placed in the sink and covered with water.
After drawing of the water, which will
take with 1t considerable of the milk, they
should be thoroughly washed and scaltled,
then rinsed with clear water and dried.
Some of our butter makers give the pans
twelve hours summing, but / think this
hardly necessary. as the pans can be stacked
OH frame in the room and we'll dried. Ex-
posing to the sun can not be of any benefit
to the pans. besides they will gather dust
which would necessitate cleaning again be-
fore using. 1t Is also essentially necessary
that all the utensils-the milk buckets,
strainers, butter tables, rollers, churns, and
vessels in which the milk and cream is
handled-should be thoroughly washed,
scalded, and rinsed clean and dried after
using. BY making it a rule to attend to the
washing and drying Immediately after using
it will be found advantageous.
OF the patent churns in use the Blanchard
and Julian appear to be the favorites. The
best cheap churn l have seen in use is
square box set in a frame on iron gudgeons
fastened in the centre on opposite sides.
The diagonal box churn is Objectionable,
mainly tor the reason that it gives the milk
too violent motion. The square box
churn is not, believe, patented, and may
be made at any carpenter shop. By fasten-
ing the gudgeons to 4 board or plate CT iron
ten or twelve inches square, in which holes
may be made to fit over four bolts t" be
made stationary tothe churn OH the out
side, you may arrange to use churns Of sew
erai sizes Oh the same frame and with the
same gudgeons and cranks. Side handles
can be attached so rs to remove the churn
from the frame, and another filled with
cream set in its place with ease. 1t should
be provided with All opening in one side as
large as may be desired for handling and
removing the butter, and should also have a
faucet in one corner. WILL.

THE FARMERS WIFE ASIA POULTRY
KEEPER.

We have received an article from farmer
whom we know, and we rejoice in publish
ing it because we think it shows, as in mir
ror, the peculiar relation that should exist
between the farmer and his wife as regards
the poultry interests of the farm. A far
merss wife who has no concern for the chick
ems. lambs. calves, and other ''live stock" is
only second rate in her class. She is not a
lover of nature, or her philoprogenitiyeness
is deficient. A. good husband should pro-
vide help enough in the house, so that his
better-half may spend some time in the
open air, among the flowers and the chic!sr
ems.
GOOD WIFE.
There once lived u king named I4emuel.
We read that his mother taught him certain
words of wisdom relating to what goes to
constitute good psfe. This has been quo
ted as,the model for all ages:
She seeketh wool and flax ana worketh willingly
with her hands.
She layeth her hands to the spindle. and her hands
hold the dstan.
She maketh fine linen and sellsth it.
These three quotations are only speci-
mems. The times have changed y and, al
though the spirit Of all this description Of a
good wife is right and always will be, yet
the Ajax and the wool, the spindle and the
distaff are obsolete, and we must find some
thing in our latter civilization to.take their
place. and tile dear ones may still be guided
nv t}e cDjrit of those teachings which lem
uel heard from the lips Of his mother:
She riseth oetimes and goeth forth early

Honor Among Thieves.

Bellew, in his account of the mission
which he accompanied into Afghanis-
tan, tells most remarkable story.
which may be quoted as illustrating not
only the determination which the race
is capable of, but of a sense of honor
such was the word the relator used {;
and, although it is only honor among
thieves, there was mixed with it desire
for the honor of the family to which the
hero of the story belonged which would
be creditable anywhere. The person
who tells the tale was called Khan Gul,
and he was one of the actors in it. The
whole of his family had, at former pc
Rod, became band of robbers, which
occupation they practiced, seemingly on
the sly, and their neighbors were kept
in the dark about their doings They
had determined ON robbing a house at
some distance, and, going there during
the night, they made hole through the
mud wall. Khan Gul's brother, like
Oliver Twist, was passed in, and he be-
gan to hand out whatever was within his
reach. hepeople in the house CHANGED
to waken up, upon which the brother
tried to make his escape, but. while in
the act of returning through the hole in
the wall, those on the inside caught him
by the feet. Now began a tug like the
tug of war" fiercely they pulled to get
him out of the hole, but it was useless;
those within had one or two holding on
to each leg, and the burglar was held as
if in wise. The fear that they would
be recognized and detected became at
last the dominant feeling, and, as they
could not possibly pull him out, they
determined on an extreme measure, and
one 50 very extreme that it is hard to
believe it could have occurred to any
others than these knife-using Afghans.
The only plan left to prevent identity
was to cut off the head, carrying it
away, and leave the body, and the very
striking part of this tale lies in the fact
that it was done at the suggestion of the
man himself, and, as he expressed it at
the instant, so that the honor of the
family might be preserved undefiled."
This was done. They fled with the
head only, leaving all the spoil which
he'd been thrown out, and, as Khan Gul
ended the story, he thanked God that
the honor of his house had by these
means been preserved. There is some
thing heroic in such acts. Neither
Agamemnon nor Achilles, as described
by Homer, suggests character capable
of such self-devotion- Cor. London
