Wheat Culture


rf9a ths rnru#al FAfuirr.
The time for seeding wheat should
be regulated by the appearance or
non-appcarancc OF the Hessian ly.
IN localities where the ny does not
appear, It Is well 10 SOW early enough
for the plant TO make a good, strong
fall growth. The larger and stronger
the roots, the more certain It is to
withstand the frosts Of winter. But
where the ny has made its ap-
pearaHcc, It Ia far better to risk the
wiutcr.kiIliug than the ny. The
more rapid the growth Of wheat when
II comes up, the surcr 1t is Of escap.
ing the ravagcs OF this insect. The
value Of guano and kindred ammo
niacal fertilizers largely depends on
their stimulating such rapid growth
ns 10 overcome the attacks Of the
pest.
Another way of lcssening its dep
relations is To cultivate 1t once or
twice ns the blade begins to widen.
The wheel hoe runs between the rows,
and by stirring the soil, promotes
growth, disturbs the fy. and knocks
off or destroys great numbers of the
larya, which are deposited in little
patches on the upper surface OF the
leaf, where, if undisturbcd, they are
hatched and crawl down TO the foot
Of the leaf stock and suck ont the
juices Of the plant. 1t is well known
that wheat on rich ground can with
stand the fly much better than wheat
on poor ground. Anything, there
fore, which adds vigor and strength
10 the plant, iscreascs its juices, like
fertilizers or oultivating with a wheat
hoe, will enable it the better to with
stand the hy. There can he no doubt,
If seed rows were twelve inches apart
instead of eight, and then the wheat
hood in the spring rs well us in the
fall, about the time Of the attack of
the second crop Of the fly, that the
dcpredations of the ny would be
greatly lessened and the crop Of
wheat greatly increased. IL has been
tried and proved.

How TO Preserve Cider.

The cider-making 'days have
come," and one of the most common
inquiries among farmersis allow shall
i keep my cider?" For the benefit
of such inquiries VIC give the follow
ing from that undoubted authority,
the Scientific american:
A pure, sweet cider is only obtain
able from clean, sound fruit, and the
fruit should therefore be carefully
examined and wiped before grinding.
In the press, use hair cloth or gun
nv in place OF straw. As the cider
runs from the press let pass through
hair sieve into large open vessel
that will hold as much juice as can

Importance Of Grass.

In its direct money value, and in
its collateral and indirect benefits,
grass Is worth more TO the world
than all the cereal crops combined.
Its direct is nothing in comparison
to its indirect value in the influence IL
has In preserving the fertility of our
farms by its manurial wealth in all
forms. No man can thrive on farm
mo farm can be self-supporting
where grass is wholly neglected, or
advantage Is not taken of stock
raised on the grass farms. The old
Belgian proverb is true-"No grass,
no cattle; no manure, no crops"
IL Is supposed by many that only
such soil as Is not iit for cultivation
In the cereals or roots should be
devoted 10 grass. This Is a mistake.
We can afford to take our best soil
for The production of this crop, and
this Is thereal plan for bringing them
up to the highest point of fertility.

Farm Intelligently.
rs In Practical Farmer.

J. y. < In Practical Farmer.
Time was, in the history of our
country, when, if II man knew enough
TO hitch his team to plow and go
into the field and turn over the soil
in rude, halfway sort of n manner,
and then plant and SOW his crops, he
could safely rest in the assurance of
an abundant harvest, for the sun and
rain and dew of heaven would com
plcte the work he had begun. But
that day has now past. The rich vir-
gin soil which was for centuries in
preparation, has, particularly in the
eastern and middle sections of our
country, become exhausted much Of
IT, it is needless to add, has been wan
tonly wasted. And he who would
now have success in farming must
exercise brain as well as brawn, must
combine skill with industry, or, in
other words, farm intclligehtly.
"Book.farming," TO use common
expression, can no longer bc profit
ably ignored. If people were en-
dowcd with an intuition that taught
them how to do all things correctly,
there would be no benefit derived
from an Interchange of ideas, or if a
man was endowed with an unusual
faculty for learning things by obscr-
vation, and was so circumstanccd
that he could spend a portion Of each
year travelling, he might bc able to
make such applications Of the kndwl-
edge thus obtained as to compete
with men who farmcd on scientific
principles. But rs intuitiyc knowl-
edge is scarce, and as farmers, as n
class, are not given TO travelling, there
remains no better way, and indeed no
other way Of deriving information on
agricultural questions than by read
ing books and papers devoted TO such
questions. 1t is no more TO be cX-
pcctcd that n man could farm sue
ccssfully who did not inform himself
Gg to his business, than to expect a
merchant, or lawyer, or ply siCian
would succeed in his particular call
Ing without informing himself as TO
the nature Of that calling. The man
who, ignorant the art of navigation,
would attempt to guide vessel
across the Atlantic, would be deemed
lunatic or an idiot, and yet it il
scarcely more Inconsistent than the
manner ia which hundreds OF men all
over our land are conducting their
farms. But the lcaycn Of light and
knowledge Ia agriculture is a. work g.,
and let us hope 1t will continue TO
work until our farmers, one and all,
shall become thoroughly walked up to
the Importance Of farming intclli-
gently.

be expressed in one day. In one day,
or sometimes less, the pomace Will
rise to the top, and in short time
grow very thick. When little white
bubbles break through it, draw or
the liquid through u very small spigot
placed about three inches from the
bottom, so that the less may be left
behind. The cider must be drawn
OIL into very clean, sweet casks, pre-
ferably fresh liquor casks, and closely
watched. The moment the white
bubbles, before mentioned, are per
ceived rising Mt the bungholc, rack
it again. 1t is usually necessary to
repeat this three times. Then fill up
the cask with cider in every respect
like that originally contained in it,
add tumbler of warm sweet oil and
bung up tight. For very fine cider it
is customary to add ut this stage of
the process about half pound of
glucose (starch sugar., or smaller
portion of white sugar. The cask
should then be allowed to remain in
cool place until the cider has nc
quired the desired flavor. In the
meantime clean barrels for its rcccp-
tion should be prepared, as follows;
Some clean strips of rags are dipped
in melted sulphur, lighted and burn
ed in the bungholc, and the bung laid
loosely on the end Of the rag SO rs
to retain the sulphur vapor within
the barrel. Then tie up half a pound
of mustard seed in course muslin
bag, and put it in the barrel, ill the
barrel with cider, add about quar-
ter of pound of isinglass or fine
gelatinc dissolved in hot water.
This is the old fashioned way, and
will keep cider In the same condition
rs when it went into the barrel, if
kept in n cool place, for year.
Professional cidcr.makers are now
using calcium sulphite (sulphite of
limc), instead of mustard and sui
phur vapor, 1t is much more con
yencnt and efectuai. To use it, it
is simply requisite to add onc.cight
to one-quarter of an ounce of the
sulphite to each gallon of cider in
the cask, first mixing the powder in
about n quart of the cider, then pour
ing it back into the cask aud giving
the latter a thorough shaking or roll
ing. After standing bungcd several
days to allow the suiphite to exert its
full action it may bc bottled oil.
The sulphite of lime (Which should
not be mistaken for the sulphatc of
lime) is commercial article, costing
about 80 cents n pound by the bar.
rel. 1t preserves the sweetness Of the
cider perfectly, but unless care is
taken not to add too much Of it, il
will impart q slight sulphurous taste
to the cider. The bottles and corks
used should be perfectly clean, and
the corks wired down.
\ little cinnamon, wintergrccn, or
sassafras, ETC.. is often added to sweet
cider in the bottle, together with a
draohm or so of bicarbonate Of soda
at the moment Of driving the stopper.
This helps to ncutralizc free aoids,
and renders the liquid cficrycscent
when unstoppered ; but if used in
excess it may prcjudicially affect the
taste.
