FORMERLY It was considered best 10
let grass stand until the seed was full
grown. before cutting. but OF late years
Il has become almost the universal Gus
tom 10 cut when most Of the grass Is in
full bloom The advantages claimed
for early cutting are. first. better hay,
which Is more readily eaten by cattle;
second. less injury 70 the grass roofs;
third. better chance for second crop
Ii the wheat berry. the epidermis.
seed-skin- glunen. cell-layer and germ
form about eighteen per cent OF tbs
entire weight The remainder. or
eighty-two per cent. is the largest per
cent Of flour that can ever be obtained
BY the most perfect machinery. II we
include the germ. which some m;lle.s
say is bent fetal to the -four. though de-
teriorating its color. several per cent
must be added to the above.
CURRAST SrRUP.-This il a very
easy method Of making a pleasant syr-
up Take any quantity Of full ripe cur
rants. pick from stalk. and put them in
q tin-Iined stewpan. whole. with about
water enough TO cover the bottom; two
tablespoonfuls Of water is sufficient:
when the currants are all burst. after
stirring them. remove from fire and
press them in = bag; take the liquor
and allow il TO get perfectly cold:
sweeten with loaf-sugar to taste; cur
rants vary so much as TO sweetness that
no exact measure Of sugar can be given;
strain again. and. without further heat
ing. put in well-stoppercd bottles

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Cleveland
Herald SAYS: 1.-The ways that turnips
can be sown and vet not require a spe-
ciai preparation of the land are many.
] know . farmer who. after the last
hoeing Of his potatoes. scatters the seed
thinly along the rows. and when the
potatoes are dug the dirt il pulled back
into the last hill. and the turnips are
not disturbed The fine soil that works
down abont them rather helps than in
jures them and big crop Of turnips
usually results. Sowing among the
corn i another not Questionable meth
3D. for the turnips will not draw very
much upon the soil until after the corn
j. cut up. and the after crop will prove
= far more profitable one than planting
pumpkins among the corn. and far less
injurious 70 the development Of the
ears.
