Stacking Wheat,

WE have often said that after all OF
the expense and toll of the season in
raising crop of wheat, the profit was
frequently all lost in bad stacking. And
yet there is no need of it. If the mid
die of the stack be kept full enough, and
solid, there is but little danger of injury
from wet. Nearly every man who
thinks he is a good stacker is particular
10 place his bundles close together on
the outside courses, and then put the
loose straw and rough bundles in the
middle. Being much more weight in
the middle than on the outer edge, it
will settle more, even if all parts of the
stack are packed alike. But it is sell
dom this is the case. Hence the middle
settles until the outer ends of the sheaves
stick up instead of down. In this con-
dition the water runs to the middle of
the stack and then down Just where the
heads of grain are concentrated. Eight
years ago we knew young beginner
who had strained every nerve to raise a
good crop, and succeeded. He made
fine looking stacks of it, but was careless
in packing solidly in the middle, al
though apparently it was high enough
at all times. The stacks were large and
high. The middles settled two or three
feet more than the outsides. There
came heavy rain. Soon after we call
ed his attention TO the fact that his
stacks were wet and wheat spelling
He could not believe it. But on thor
ough examination he found that it was
too wet TO thresh or too wet to let stand
He finally got machine to try it; not
two-thirds of it was threshed; not a
bushel of merchantable wheat was OBJ
tanned, Most of it was fed out to the
stock at little profit, and the balance
rotted in the bins. He had bought a
farm and paid part. This failure of the
crop defeated him in meeting his en-
gagements. Struggling TO overcome
this failure of his wheat, he paid high
interest, and finally failed, abandoned
his farm with what ne had paid, and
went TO Dakota to begin anew and grow
up with the country. State Reg

The materials used for writing have
varied in different ages and nations.
Among the Egyptians, slices of lime
stone, leather, linen and papyrus-es-
pecially the last-were universally en-
ployed. The Greeks used bronze and
stones for public monuments, wax for
memorandums, and papyrus for the or
binary transactions of life. The kings
of Pergamus adopted parchment, and
the other nations of the ancient world
chiefly depended on the paper of Egypt.
But the Assyrians and Babylonians en-
ployed for their public documents,
their historical annals, and even for
their title deeds and bills of exchange,
tablets, cylinders and hexagonal prisms
of terra Gotta. Some of these cylinders,
still extant, contains valuable records
ofancient history. To this indestructible
material, and happy idea of employing
it in this manner, the present age is in
debted for detailed history of the As
syrian Monarchy; while the decades of
Livy, the plays of Leander and the laws
of Anacreon, confdedt to a more perish
able material, have either wholly or
partially disappeared among the wreck
of empires

THE DAIRY.

SUCCESS in butter-making depends
largely on the prompt cleaning of the
dairy utensils. Every utensil, after be-
ing used, must be cleansed Immediate
ly in order to prevent taints in the
milk, cream or butter.
The query raised, why grass colors
butter yellow, instead of green, is an
swered by Prof. Arnold in the New
York Tribune He says that chlorophyl,
the green coloring matter of plants, is
neither digested nor appropriated by
milk-giving animals. while the yellow
fats which abound in grass are assiml-
lated without change.
SKINNED cheese, says an exchange,
has received the black eye it has long
deserved. Illinois creamery skins are
selling in New York at from three to
five cents q pound, which is about half
what whole milk cheese is worth. The
practice of the creameries of taking off
all the cream they can get, and then
making up cheese from the remain
der, has had its day. The practical full
stock, with Just as little as possible
taken off the nights milk, is the com
ing cheese, and the nearly worthless
commodity made by some of the cream
cries will be forced out of the market.
INFLAMMATION of the udder, says the
american Dairyman, may be brought
on by cold, congestion of the milk ducts
or by over feeding, and consequent
feverish condition. A sudden shower
on hot day when the COW was heated
and perspiring is sufficient cause; or
If the COW should lie down on wet grass
or upon wet ground with full udder,
that might produce it. The remedy is
to give a cooling laxative, pound of
epson salts, for instance, followed by
an ounce of saltpeter. The udder
should be emptied frequently, and if
the milk is clotted in the bag, inject
pint of solution of carbonate of soda,
by a metal syringe, into each quarter
where the milk is clotted, and use q
silver milking tube to draw it of in fif-
teen minutes, if it cannot be done in the
ordinary mann er.

The Cost Price.

THE other day a rough-looking man
stepped into clothing store in Carson,
New, and wanted to buy a suit Of
clothes. The price was $50, but after a
careful examination of the texture of the
goods he declined to purchase at the
figures named and started for the door.
Holt on" said the proprietor, f" sell
'em al de cost brice." The clerk asked
how much, and the "boss" said in Ger
man, SIG. The countryman turned
around and said he guessed he'd take
another look at 'em anyhow. He tried
them on and got before the glass.
Cost price, you sayP" The clerk as
sented, and the countryman handed
him SIG, remarking;
"You can tie the old ones up"
"Hold on, the cost price is $24," said
the clerk.
"Guess you're mistaken; heard the
boss say $i6."
The boss looked up with; "By Jemi.

you vas an Irishman all de vile."

MY FIRST CIGAR.

TWAS just behind the woodshed,
One glorious summer day,
Far o'er the hills the sinking sun
Pursued its westward way,
And in my lone seclusion,
Safely removed afar
From all of carth's confusion,
smoked my first cigar.
All, bright the boyish fancies
Wrapped I'm the wreaths of bluel
MY eyes grew dim, my head was light,
The woodshed round me flew.
Dark night closed I'm around me,
Rayless without a star,
Grim death Thought had found me,
And spoiledmy first cigar.
All, pallid was my noble brow,
The waning night was late,
NV startled mother cried, in fear,
MY child. what have you ateY'
beard my fathers smothered laugh,
1t seemed so strange and fur
j knew he knew, l knew he knew
I'd smoked my first cigar.

IT WAS recently remarked by Prof.
Maudsley that one striking feature OBJ
served by medical men in cases of hall
lucination is that the patients cannot be
convinced that the objects they see, the
sounds they hear and the smells they
perceive have no real existence, and
that the sensations received are the re-
suit of an excited state of their nerves.
Hallucination often extends to but one
sense, the person affected being other
wise in a perfectly normal condition.
1t may arise either from an idea on
which the mind has dwelt closely, or
from excitement of the sensory nerves.
1t is said that Newton, Hunter, and
others of equal eminence, could, at will,
picture forms TO themselves until they
appeared to be realities.
