AGRICU l 7 ] RAJ.

One of the most important questions for
the farmer is in the selection of good seed.
This should be done in the fall when the
seed is being gathered, before marketing,
and when the opportunity is afforded for the
selection of the very best. 1t is the habit
of many persons to send their best products
to market, reserving an inferior quality for
home use, and it is often the case that the
seed for the coming crop has to be selected
from the remnants or pickings. Especially
is this the case in the selection of potatoes
for planting.
1t is argued by some that seed runs OUT
and they attribute bad crops raised to the
degeneration Of the plant. z. D. Foster, a
gentleman of our acquaintance, and an early
settler of the territory, informed us last
summer, that he had raised potatoes from
the same seed for ten years, and that his
crops were equal to the best to be found in
the country. He says one Of the great arts
in raising good potatoes is in the selection
of the seed He uses medium-sized but
perfect potatoes, such as were fully ripe
when dug. He cuts to single eyes. The
eyes coming from the seed end he places in
separate pile, and plants on land separate
from the others. His reason for so doing is
that the plants from them are more thrifty
than those from the other part of the pota-
to, producing better potatoes and ripening
at least ten days earlier.
His experiments were made in deep,
stIong lime bench-lan0 soil, but we believe
he did not raise more than three crops on
the same land before changing. His choice
of varieties is the Neshanock, and for early
use, the Early Rose.

aoosEBERR1Es AND cURRANTs.

There is no reason why both these very
useful fruits should not be found abundant
ly in every garden. They are no trouble to
raise. They grow readily from cuttings.
Take the wood of last year from six to ten
inches in length, prepare the bed or place
where they are to stand permanently, force
them into the ground not less than four
inches, press the ground firmly around them,
mulch them and let them alone. If a bush
is desired let the buds on the cutting remain
but if tree or single stem is preferred, re-
move all the buds that would go beneath
the surface. Let them stand about three
feet in the row, and if there is more than
one row, let the rows be four feet apart.
In the spring the dead wood of both the
gooseberries and currants should be cut out,
and the new growth should be thinned
where there are too many, as it will inter
fere with the product. The best red cur.
rant is the Dutch and the best gooseberries
are Downing's Prolific and Houghton's
Seeding.

BREAD-MAKING WHEAT.

In reference to a statement of an Iowa
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer as to
the bread-making power OF Minnesota and
other reputable spring wheat oyer winter
wheat, and that Minnesota wheat will make
27O to 2sO pounds of bread to the barrel of
-four, while Michigan wheat (winter) will
make but 240 pounds, and Ohio correspond
ent of Le6el's Milling Neaos says: 1t has
long been we'll known that wheat consisting
entirely, or almost SO, of starch will not
make nearly SO much bread as that contain
ing large proportion of gluten. 1t is a
we'll recognized fact that Michigan wheat is
almost entirely composed OF starch, and
that accounts for the smaller amount of
bread TO the barrel of flour. The Fultz
wheat now being introduced into this Sec
ton has little or no gluten in it, tits large
ly grown in the Cumberland valley, Penn
sylvania, and has been ruinous to the flour
trade of the millers. The Clawson wheat is
also being introduced here, and is very pop
ular with farmers on account Of its prolific
yield, but it, like the Fultz, is almost if not
entirely destitute of gluten. The flour lacks
strength, and will therefore make but a
small yield of bread and is universally con-
demned by good bakers, not only on that
account, but because it will not make a
large-sized loaf in proportion to its weight.
A choice grade of flour can not be made of
either Fultz or Clawson wheat This is the
universal testimony of all who have tested
them.
At the late session of the Pennsylvania
Millers' association, after prolonged dis
cussion, it was resolved to discourage the
cultivation of Eultz and Clawson wheat,
and to recommend Lancaster, Old Mediter-
ranean, Boughton, Shoemaker, Deal, Wick
and Canada ite.-Prairie Farmer.

EARLY GARDEN CROPS.

Among the garden crops after those al
ready mentioned, which first require atten-
ton. as soon as the ground is at all in con-
dition to receive the seed, may be enumer-
ated the following:
The first crop of radishes, to be sown as
early as possible, are the Early Scarlet and
Long Salmon; these should be followed by
the Red and White Turnip radshes; and
these, for hot weather, by the Yellow and
White Summer.
Satisfy, or Oyster plant, is an excellent
vegetable for spring and winter use, but not
every one succeeds we'll with it. We have
failed ourselves in getting more than a half
crop, while at other times we have had
abundant yields. We Go not like the roots
TO be very thick-mcdium size being much
the best tThe seed should be sown in drills
or rows, from eight to ten inches apart, and
when sufficiently sprouted, thinned out to
three inches in a row. The ground for sal
sify should be dug deep and be we'll pulver-
lied, and the soil rich loan. The plant
penetrates sometimes from fifteen to twenty
inches. They are, we think, best left in the
ground through the winter, and taken out
when desired, the same as carrots. They
are boiled and butter sauce made Tor them !;
or they are excellent sliced and fried like
oysters; or they can be grated, formed in
the shape Of oysters, mixed with the yolks

Bread and Yeast.-A pint of flour is scald-
ed with hop water to form thin batter
thlckened with boiled mashed potatoes, and
passed through colander. When cool,
teaspoontul of salt is added; the same guam
tity of ground ginger; large spoonful Of
sugar, and one-half teacup of best yeast.
Keep the mixture in warm room to rise,
stirring it down two or three times. We
keep yeast in glass -Mason's-and in a
dark place. Many think that the chemical
action of light is as injurious to yeast. as to
fruits canned in glass. A teacupful of yeast
is sufficient tor two large loaves of bread.
The sponge is made with warm water and
quite stiff, and is kept warm over night In
the morning, more flour is added to TIE
sponge and it is kneaded for half hour, or
as long as there is time to spare. Bread is
more tender, il melted butter-a large
spoonful to each loaf-is worked into the
dough. Let the mass rise until very light,
when it may be nodded into loaves and set
to rise again. Top heat is best for raising
bread, as it is apt to get scalded if placed on
any heated surface. Experience teaches one
better than rules, how to bake bread. Some
housekeepers set the sponge in the morning,
thus making hard, disagreeable cay. If
set at night, time is gained, and the bread
baking, can be gotten entirely out of the
way long before noon.
Honae-Made Vinegar.-Steep pint of good
firm corn in two and half gallons Of water
for two or three hours, and then put it on
the fire and boil it until the corn shows
signs of bursting. Take it off before the
grains do burst and strain off the liquor.
adding halt a pound of sugar to each gallon.
Place the cask, or the Jug containing it, in
the sun, and in three weeks or month the
liquor will be converted into good vinegar.
The writer tried this receipt, using molas-
ses instead of sugar in one case, but the su-
gar makes far the best vinegar. It is both
good and cheap. Large quantities can be
made by using proportionate quantities Of
corn, water and sugar.
Stesoed Mutton.-Stew three pounds of
neck of mutton for stock the day before,
which will make about two quarts; take
loin of mutton, cut it into chops, with all
the fat taken of, put it into the stock and
let it boil gently for two hours; add onions.
turnips, carrots and small potatoes, with
three pints OF green peas and head of Gel
cry. Six minutes before serving it add
milk damplings.
Mock Maace Hes.-Take two cuptuls of
cold water, one of sour cider, one of brown
sugar, one of molasses; six Boston or soda
crackers, rolled fine. one and half cupfu}s
OF melted butter, two eggs well beaten. one
cupful of raisins, one of currants, one tea
spoonful each of cloves, nutmeg, salt, black
pepper, cinnamon and allspice one wine
glassful of whiskey or pure spirit. Bake in
good puff paste.

FRANCES WHEAT CRoP.-Full harvest
news indicate that the wheat crop of France
amounts to PIG, 6,ss0,000 bushels, against 274,-
100000 bushels for 1877, and 256. 900
bushels in 1876. With the comparatively
large crop of 1877, France had to import
22,600 900 bushels for the year ending Au-
gust 81, 1878, to supply her deficiencies tor
that year alone, and, as her reserves of old
wheal are exhausted, she must import as
much as the deficiency in the new crop, in
addition to the amount of her imports last
year. This deficiency is 81 100000 bushels,
and this added to last years imports OF 52,
100000 bushels, gives sO,5O0,OOO bushels as
the amount which she will have to import
for the year ending August 81, 1879.

THE HOUSEHOLD,

THE KITCHEN.
The kitchen should be neat,
The kitchen should be clean;
With something good to eat,
And made SO nice and sweet,
It tempts you to be seen.
The kitchen should be bright,
With sunny windows in,
Let in the air and light;
Keep floor and table white,
And often rub the tin.

As pretty as bird,
Her voice as low and sweet
AS any girl you meet,
And trilling, singing, heard.
Her dainty hands and feet

Her 'dishes' wondr.us feats--
And as for her receipts,
You'll find them, just the thing.

The manufacturers of our town and
county made a very creditable display of
their skill OF this occasion, especially in
the buggy and carriage department. The
display of poultry was admirable and
shows that u people are raising the
very best breeds. The ladies contribute
ed to Floral Hall literally and extensive
ly, and its crowded condition from morn
ing until night proved that its gorgeous
collections were interestingly admired.
1t would be simply impossible for us to
give in detail the many meritorious arti-
cles on exhibition, but we feel safe in
saying that the wax works, flowers,
needle work, hand lace work, worsted
work, braid, chain stitch, embroidery,
fancy patch work quilts, feathers, flow
ers, founces, wreaths, &c., &C., would
challenge competition from any other
county in the State. So would the ex-
hibit OF grains, fruits and vegetables.
The number of entries footed up 3,41S,
the largest by far ever made. The num-
Der of family tickets sold were 1866;
quarter tickets, 3,065. Two hundred and
thirty-seven more family tickets than last
year and one hundred and ~ifty-seven
more quarter tickets. The cash receipts
were 81, $4,000, over $500 more than ever
taken in at any other time, and leaving
sufficient balance, after this years ex-
penses are paid, to clear the Society of
debt.
No one will attempt to deny but that
this extraordinary success of u agricul-
tural show was in a great measure due to
the efficient officers, and why the men
who so successfully engineered it to such
prosperity were defeated at the election
for another term, has caused considera-
BILE comment and some little dissatisfac-
ton among many who feel a great pride
and interest in our annual exhibitions.
