Now IS the season of the year for the
farmer to make up his mind as to what he
will cultivate the coming summer. AS a
general rule, mixed farming is the most
certain, and taken together for any period
Of time-say ten years-pays best. 1t is
course that supplies the farmer with all the
necessaries that can be produced in this lati-
tude, without having to buy, which is of
itself worthy of some consideration, as
we'll supplied table goes far towards smooth
ing down the evil tendencies of life; nur-
lures good-feeling and charity, and in real
ity is one of the greatest blessings of the
calling of husbandry. 1t is sure guaranty
of living, for we care not how adverse the
circumstances, the season will be such that
some variety OF produce will succeed. A
few years since, when the grasshoppers
were bad, mixed husbandry was all that
saved the country from coming to want,
and though we do not anticipate grasshop-
pers or any other plague the ensuing season,
yet we believe it will pay best, for the rea-
son that it is sure to hit the markets best.
Those products which are low may be kept
till the most favorable time for marketing,
as there is no time of the year but some
article of farm produce is bearing fair
price.
Let the farmer determine now what he
will attempt next spring how many kinds
of grain he will cultivate; what other pro-
ducts the number of acres OF each; what
amount eff labor he will employ, and in
short, stake out his course for the season.
And as time progresses, endeavor to drive
as near to your stakes as possible. Those
who are most successful III life and execute
work with the greatest dispatch and to the
best purpose, keep their course marked out
ahead. Even a good cook plans out her
routine for the day and week, and the farm
er who would be ready at the opening of
spring, and know what to do and where to
begin it. will have his plans well matured
before the hour of labor arrives.

WIRE IN WHEAT.

Ever since the last harvest millers
throughout the West and Northwest have
been making complaint of the injury done
to mill machinery by the presence of small
bits of wire in wheat bound by the new
self-binders. AS noticed in our last issue,
the millers of Minneapolis have resolved
that wherever practicable, a difference of
ten cents per bushel be made, discriminat-
ing against wire bound wheat. The Illi-
nois State association which was in session
during the past month passed resolutions
eondemning the use of wire and advising
the use of some other material. Almost
every day complaints have reached us from
milers in every part of the West stating
The annoyance and damage caused by wire
in the wheat. Some have suggested that
all this hue and cry have been raised in the
interest of Il certain twine-binder, but the
sequel will show how reckless such state
ment is and how wide from the mark it
falls.
We have taken q good deal of pains dur

WHAT IT PAYS TO READ.

Ones physical frame-his body, his mus
cles, his feet, his hands-is only living ma
chine. 1t is his mind controlling and direct
ing that machine, that gives it power and
efficacy. The successful use of the body
depends wholly upon the mind-upon it's
ability to direct the will. 1t one ties his
arm in a sling it becomes weak, and finally
powerless. Keep it in active exercise, and
it acquires vigor and strength, and is disci-
plined to use this strength as desired; just
as ones mind by active exercise in thinking,
reasoning, planning, studying, observing,
acquires vigor, strength, power Of concen-
tration and direction.
Plainly, then, the man who exercises his
mind in reading and thinking, gives il in
creased power and efficiency, and greater
ability to direct the efforts of his physical
frame-his Work-to better results than he
can who merely or mainly uses his muscles.
If a man reads book or paper, or even one
he knows to be erroneous, it helps him by
the efforts to combat the errors. The COM
bat invigorates his mind.
Of all men, the farmer, the cultivator,
needs to read more to strengthen his reason
ing powers, so they will help out and make
more effective, more profitable, his hard toll.
There can be no doubt that the farmer who
supplies himself with the most reading
the most of other mems thoughts and ex-
periences-will in the end, if not at once,
be most uccessful.-Ru1aL San.

sarlly conclude that it does pass through
the cleaning machinery, and this is all that
need be known. However, we may venture
to say in explanation that all of the bits of
Wire are more or less curved, and therefore
lind their way through the apertures of the
| separating machines. The usually saga
clous Prairie Farmer of this city suggests
that milling engineers ought to invent
some means of removing the wire from the
wheat. When our contemporary remem-
bers the fact just mentioned, that the wire is
most always bent, the full difficulty in the
way OF removing it by means of separating
machines will be seen. The best way to re-
move it from the wheat is to allow the wire
to remain in the store instead of CARRYING it
into the field.
While we hardly think it possible to make
distinction in price between wheat bound
with wire and that bound with some other
material (and the milers of Minneapolis
seem to have had doubts as to the practical
bility of the scheme in all cases) we believe
that some measures should be taken to pro-
tect the miller against the damages caused
by the careless use of wire. OF all the mill
ers present at the recent meeting of the Ill-
nois association, only three defended the
wire binder. Such unanimity of opinion
certainly shows that so far, the wire binder
has been detrimental to the interests of
millers. The evil will doubtless work it's
own cure, but in the meantime millers

ience and source of loss in their business

TO MAKE HENS LAY.

PuC two or more quarts of water in a ket-
tie, and one large seed pepper, or two small
ones, then put the kettle over the fire. When
the water boils stir in coarse Indian meal
until you have thick musf. Let it cook
an hour or SO; feed hot Horse radsh
chopped fine and stirred into mush as pre-
pared in the above directions, and for results
we are getting from five to ten eggs per
day, whereas, previous to feeding we had
not had eggs for a long time. We hear q
good deal of complaint from other people
about getting no eggs. 10 such we would
warmly recommend cooked feed, fed hot.
Boiled apple skins, seasoned with red pep
per, or boiled potatoes, seasoned with horse
radish are good for feed; much better than
uncooked food. Corn, when ted to the hen,
by itself, has tendency to fatten rather
than produce the more profitable egg-lay-
ing. spoonful of sulphur stirred with
their feed occasionally will rid them of yer-
min and tone up their systems. 1t is espec-
tally good for young chickens or turkeys.
Out Of flock of ten hatched last November
we have lost but one. They have been fed
cooked food mostly and are growing finely.

THE POULTRY YARD.
WINTER EGG-LAYING.

A correspondent residing in Ohio wrote
US as follows last month: "Tell us in next
number of the monthly how we may man
age-if the thing be possible at ALTO have
eggs from our fowls in winter time. have
frequently seen it stated that there are some
breeds of improved fowls that lay in the
cold months of the year. would like to
know something of them.n
The allwinter layers are very rare, friend
F., in our experience. AS you hint, how
ever, there are fowls that give us more or
less eggs in winter, and there are some vari-

! cold season than do others. But it is not SO
much the breed of fowls that do this winter
laying as it is the age of the pullets that we
happen to own, and the kind of house (as
to warmth) that we have to shelter the
birds in.
No variety of fowls with which we are ac-
quainted will yield us eggs in the winter
months, where the birds are exposed in poor
houses, in wet Or damp situations, and in
which they are negligently or badly fed in
those months. This may be set down as a
sure thing every time.
But if the stock be properly provided
through the fall and winter with good food
and plenty of egg-forming materials, and
your pullets be hatched early in the season
previously, the Asiatics, the Plymouth
Rocks and the Leghorns will begin to give
you eggs very early in the season or in
many instances commence late in the fall.
after they shed their first seasons feathers.
But no breed can lay eggs in winter until
the proper conditions are observed to fit
them for this duty. These conditions-if
the fowls be housed-are supplies of green
feed, sound grain, plenty of shells and gravel,
and allowance Of ground bone, cooked food
daily, prime ventilation in the hennery, all
the sun warmth you can give them in the
house they occupy, and occasional bits of
meat or scraps, for variety.
If your pullets are got out in March and
April they should lay in November or De-
cember, or by January at the latest Con-
tinue to keep them dry, warm and well fed,
and you will have plenty of eggs in the
winter months from any of the breeds of
our present improved varieties. Poultry

KNoxvfELEEN PIE Rx.

The following lines about Knoxyill,
were written by an old gentleman, 20 year!
old, q citizen of the State of Illinois, ana
are published by request:
Knoxville is city in East Tennessee,
It's citizens are generous, kind and free.
ALI are made welcome who come here tc
live,
The climate is healthy, none can it excel
Neither too warm nor too cold for people tc
dwell
The markets furnish all that you wish,
And the rivers and creeks plenty of fish ;
City lots you can purchase at low rate,
And the taxes are low so you won't ask a
rebate
It's trade and it's commerce is growing
larger each year
So that downfall ia prices you need not
fear,
So come along with your dimes ifyou have
any to spare
And of our friendship we will willingly
share.
We suffered severely whi the war did last,
But now we must try and forget all the
past,
Begin in the new and help all to unite
In peace and in Friendship no more for to
fight
Now sir ce slavery is squelched and the
darkies all free
There is nothing to hinder the North and
South to agree;
It was envy that caused ali the sad strife,
Which caused the destruction of so much
human life,
Now we iaviie all to come and take good
chance,
For Knoxville is city which is baund to
advance.
All that is lacking to make it flourish and
grow
Is to have the rivers made deep so that
boats from below
Can visit us daily all the year round,
Then this city as Queen. would surely be
crowned.
