FROM TIL EBES.

The spirit is moving me to write, and as
! have but little, if any news of importance
to communicate, it follows as matter Of
course that must write about something
else,
Weather is a subject that is always in
order; il is with MS night and day, and OF
late has not lacked variety; an "old saw"
mas it that, 'variety is the spi,e OF life"
therefore, we ought to be highly pleased
with it, but then a person can't live on
spice alone. Yet the weather has an inter
est peculiarly its own Nothing else forms
Il more certain and continuous topic for
conversation, suggestion, speculation and
guessing; and why shouldn't it, Just
think what a dreadful calamity it would
be to this country if the weather crop
should fan at the beginning OF session OF
congress. What an enormous quantity of
congressional gas, the country would be
deprived Of, gas SO much needed to
throw light on politics. Politics and
police matters beng somewhat connected,
my thoughts naturally wander from the
former TO the latter. ! remember having
read somewhere q believe in Webster's
blue back spelling book that criminals
were punished to prevent crime In the
case of drunkenness, whether the mode of
procedure lisa punishment or a reward
seems to me to be an open question, In
default Of the payment Of the fine and cost,
Mr. Drunkard is chugged into the iai for
one or two weeks as the case may be, and
this is repeated on him once or twice a
month, so that he gets fed and housed at
the taxpayers expense without profit to the
community either in morals, money or in.
| tellcct, Drunkenness under the law is
crime and As such, should be punished, but
ought not common sense to teach US that
when a mode of punishment failed in the
| object intended, TO try some other; What
are the reasons for continuing such
mode of punishment Is IT to furnish an
opportunity for offices to be filled by hun
| cry politicians, TO loaf around the
streets aud at short intervals try
the back aud hind legs OF such chairs as
come in their way. or wouldn't it suit the
convenience, or tlls Of the dramsellers, to
have change in the matter; If these are
not the reasons allow me to suggest, that
dramsellcr as well as the dramdrinkcr, be
| fined in cases Of drunkncss. Surely, the
former could hardly object doing the
square thing in the matter, as he has had
| all the profits it would be nothing but fair
that he should pay part of the expenses.
In looking over the political news, OBJ

Stable Management.

The sins committed in the general
management of the occupants of the
stable are generally not those of igno-
rance. Every farmer is aware that his
horses should be housed in we'll proper
toned, cOmmodious, well-ventilated
properly-lighted and efficiently drained
stables; he is also alive to the fact that
good quality and proper quantity of
food medium temperature, scrupulous
cleanliness and general attention to the
animals comforts, are essential to his
well being; the difficulty is that he does
not realize the amount of injury result
ing from neglect of these conditions;
he knows that the opposite system is
injurious, but he has hardly an idea of
the extent to which the mischief reach
es. 1t does not occur to him probably
that, if he persists in keeping his horses
from their youth in a cold, badly-c con-
structed stable, compensation in the
shape of thick, rough coat will be a
necessary result; that accumulation of
dirt and moisture about the leg will lead
to hardness of integument and disturb
ance in the circulation and secretive
functions, predisposing to cracked heels
and grease. He is probably unmindiul
of the fact that the want OF good groom
ing leaves the skin with its numerous
pores obstructed by the accumulation of
dirt, and disposes to mango and surfeit;
that irritating vapors from stagnant ma.
nure disturb the eyes and nostrilS; that
inferior food deranges the digestion,
and that dispropOrtionate work wears
out the animal mechanism with waste
full rapidity. Monstrous as it may
sound, we have heard it seriously
stated that it answers better CONNER
Cidiy To wUTh Jn1 nOrSeS ''OuC than to
take any extra trouble for their preser-
walton. The exact meaning to be at
tached to the expression working
OUT involves serious reflection on hui
manity; the practice, we happen to
knew, is BY no means uncommon, al
though happily among agriculturalists
the spirit OF competition and specul,-
ton has not reached so far or descended
so low. We have to complain of want
of consideration very frequently, but
nothing worse.-PraiTie Farmer.

Harvesting Wheat.

It ia now very generally believed that
an early wheat harvest adds to quantity,
q lality and safety of the crop. As soon
u, the wheat grain has passed from the
milky to the doughy state is the accept
ed time. If cut before the grain has
passed its milky state it will shrivel and
lose its weight. If allowed to become
overripe the grains grow rough and
harsh, and the bran is so thick aud
brittle that even under the best milling
processes a large proportion of the flour
will be carried off with the bran. Cut
in the dough state; the bran, being thin
and elastic, is readily separated from
the flour. Loss by shelling and bad
weather is also overcome by early har-
.vesting. Cutting while the grain is soft
is also one of the surest modes to avoid
destruction by rust. The exact time at
which wheat and other small grains
can be cut with the greatest
profit may be ascertained by opening
heads in different portions of the field
aud examining the kernels carefully.
The straw near the ground will also
suggest the time of cutting by its yellow
me.
Wheat cut in its dough state should
not be dried too quickly. 1t can be
bound and stacked at once, or, if there
is only small quantity, drawn to The
barn. Many farmers put it in small
shocks, especially when there are weeds
with the grain and it has been cut early.
When stacked the wind and sun will not
Try up all the juices in the plant
enough Of these will be slowly conceu-
rated in the seed to accomplish the
maturity of the grain to perfection,
whereas if by rapid ripeningin the sun
the kernels are shriveled mope bran /,
formed in proportion to the flour.
Farmers in this section continue TO
practice threshiDg from the shock and
hauling their grain direct to market.
While this plan has its advantages, il,
certainly is not advisable in many local
tiles, or in some seasons in any locality.
When the wheat has been bleached out
by hot suns and repeated rains it should
90 into the stack and undergo a sweat,
Not few cultivators refuse to thresh
their wheat, no matter how dry the
grain when stacked, until the sweating
process has been undergone. During
this process the straw and grain become
damp and heatis evolved. The eprocess
over, both straw and grain are dry, and
the latter has been improved in color
and made plumper with the nutrih7e
matter absorbed from the stalk.-N. Y.
