Harvesting Wheat.

1t is now very generally believed that
an early wheat harvest adds to quantity,
quality and safety of the crop. AS soon
as the wheat grain has passed from the
milky to the doughty 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
and examining the kernels carefully.
The straw near the ground will also
suggest the time of cutting by its yellow
hue.
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
dry up all the juices in the plant
enough of these will be slowly concen.
trated in the seed to accomplish the
maturity of the grain to perfection,
whereas if by rapid ripening in the sun
the kernels are shriveled more bran is
formed in proportion to the flour.
Farmers in this section continue tc
practice threshing from the shock and
hauling their grain direct to market
While this plan has its advantages, it
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
60 into the stack and undergo sweat.
Not a 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 heat is evolved. The process
over, both straw and grain are dry, and
the latter has been improved in color
and made plumper with the nutritive
matter absorbed from the stalk.-N. Y.

A Fashionable London Fair.

The greatest of recent social events
in London was the Old English Fair,
which for three days occupied the I'M
mense building known as the Royal Al
bert Hall. Nearly all the women keep
ing stalls belonged to the aristocracy,
and many of them were titled. They
are described as possessing good aver
age of beauty, and they dashed about in
their quaint elaborate costumes as if
they were in the period from which
their titles came; and as for what the
more prudish middle classes might
think they evidently didn't care pin.
The hall was made to represent an old
English village, with quaint inns and
many of the scenes of an ancient fair;
but the devices to get the visitors
money, and the persistent audacity of
the saleswomen, were wholly modern.
Moncure d. Conway tells how, in one
case, the biters were bitten. A good
looking young fellow came up to stall
and said: ''Do you think you have any
pretty thing here that might buy for
my wife?--it's her birthday" The
masqueraders sprang forward. Hewas
instantly the center of dozen beauties,
and two dozen fair aristocratic arms,
rosentc through lace, protfering knick-
knacks. He shook his head and passed
on. Word was sent to the next booth
that a great buyer of birthday presents
was coming, and all the attendants
thereof swarmed around the advent
hrer. He inspected their toilets close
ly, then passed on. All the booths were
notified; all the beauties surrounded
him. he got good view of the aristoc-
racy, and in the end bought a shilling
cigar holder. He was newspaper re-
porter, and had cleverly brought about
dress parade to aid him in his work.

Directions for Shipping Fowls.

Inc following general directions are
given by the american Poultru- Yard for
shipping fowls long distances with
safety:
Ihe first essential is light, strong
coop. SO made as to have a neat, at
tractive appearance. Nothing is gained
by using boxes heavy and large simply
because they can be bought for few
cents. The purchaser suffers loss when
ne comes to pay the freight, and the
shipper loses at least one customer.
How many he has lost, by the way,
among those who have observed his
manner of shipping stock, he never
knows.
The second essential is a convenient
drinking vessel. This should be of tin,
MADE open at the top, rather long and
deep IN comparison with its width and
nailed fast to the side of the coop, so
that 1t can be readily filed from the top
OF the coop. Fountains and various
contrlvances that answer very well for
home use are not suitable for shipping
! purposes. Something is wanted that
can be filled without being taken out of
the coop.
The third essential is suitable food for
the journey, put up in a convenient man.
ner and in sufficient quantity. For a
! journey OF one or two days handful of
gravel and some wheat or cracked corn
thrown on the bottom of the coop
among the chaff or cut hay will be suf-
ficient. For longer trip make a long
ba that will hold all the food neces-
sagy. Put in the bottom of this bag
enough food for one day and tie this up.
Proceed in this way until every day is
provided for Take care, however, tc
furnish rather less than the fowls woult
require if running at large. In this way
a variety may be furnished if desirable
Tie the bag on the coop and give direc
tions to Iced and water once a day.
A tin feeding hooper may be tackled OF
the side of the coop in which to place the
allowance. Never forget to put il
gravel and little cut hay or half from
the barn floor, but. never put in Ions
grass or uncut hay.

Keeping Butter.

There are two ways for butter makers
to get over the troubles of the hot sea-
son. One system, adopted by some
good dairymen, is, not to make any
surplus butter at that season, but tc
have their cows 90 dry the LIST of July,
and come in again in September and
October. In this case they produce
butter only at the seasons that com.
mand the best price, and the cows 90
dry at the busiest season, giving the
dairyman more time for his harvest.
Less butter is consumed during the
three warm months, and, under the old
system. more is made than in any other
three months. The second way is, to
make only the very best quality of but
ter, even in the hot season, and pre-
serve it for three months or more by
excluding the air from it.
If butter is put up in the best con-
dition, and kept from the communicating
contact of air, it will come out as rosy
in color, and fine in flavor, in October
or December, as when put up in July
and August. There have been different
ways devised for excluding the air; but
perhaps the best way is to suspend the
butter in strong brine. The butter is
put into a muslin sack and then sus-
pended in tub three inches larger all
round than the sack of butter. Where
butter is made in considerable quantity,
it is put up in sacks holding 100 pounds,
and these are suspended in oak barrels
large enough to allow of one and half
inches of brine all round the sack. In
some cases the oak barrels are made
tight at both heads; the upper head has
two cleats on the under side, one and a
half inches thick; this is to keep the
sack of butter under the brine, as il
would otherwise rise to the top. The
upper head is taken out, the sack put
in, the head replaced. and the brine
poured through hole in the head, and,
when full of brine, this is plugged.
This barrel, standing in a cool place,
will keep the butter perfectly for
many months. The butter is better
when put up ins granules, only having
been washed in brine, but not sailed
Or worked; and when taken out, it is
then worked and sailed, and will be
found as fine as when fresh. The brine
excludes the air, and allis preserved. 4

Recuperating Old Orchards.

Several modes are recommended how
this can be successfully DONE but we do
not see how 1t can be more effectually
done thar by the one we have frequently
recommended. This is to cut out all
the dying wood, and three-fourths of the
suckers, scrape the trunk of the tree
completely, removing all the old, hard,
broken bark; wash with preparation of
whale-oil soap and 'water, pound of the
soap to bucket of water; and give the
orchard, not merely under the trees, but
every part of it, heavy top-dressing of
good barn-yard or compost manure. If
there is any productiveness in the trees
this will bring it out.
The suggestion that the trunks of the
trees should be shorn of all their bouphs
and allowed to sucker, and some of these
when large enough grated, will prove
failure. The grating of the ordinary
sucker growing from the trunks of old
trees can rarely be done with success.
We tried this several times and the
gratis all died at the end of the second
or third year. Far better to graft
the old trees whenever there is anv
smooth buried wood near enough to a
main bough. They will not only grow.
but in most cases fruit the second wear.

TRIMMING Tomatoes.

The tomato crop has become one OF
tie most important in the domestic as
well as in the market garden, and
should be carefully looked after. There
was time when the eating of tomatoes,
raw and cooked, was overdone, but
they have become stock fruit, to be
eaten for salad or sauce, and are still
more useful for favoring soups and
other dishes. In the East they have
been used for a long period in the latter
form, as an indispensable article of diet.
A little care in training the plants and
moderate trimming will greatly promote
their fruitfulness, advance the time OF
their ripening and improve their flavor.
1t is well to have them set out on the
sunny side of wall or fence against
which they may be trained on slanting
trellis, so as to afford free circulation
of air behind and at the same time ex-
pose the fruit constantly to the sun.
The sun is essential to the perfection OF
the fruit as much as with cherries or
apples. 1t is often excluded from the
tomatoes by the rank growth of vines
and leaves, and so the fruit is slow in
coming to perfection. Indeed it never
does come to perfection without the
ripening influence of the SUMS rays.
Another great advantage of training
tomatoes in the manner suggested is
that they are kept cut of the dirt, are
always clean and ready for use and are
not liable to rot. The common mode
of letting the plants take care of them.
selves, and the fruit lie on the ground,
exposes the tomatoes to dirt and rot and
vermin, from which they may easily be
preserved by little extra pains.
Where trellis or frame cannot be
made it is well to put brush on the
ground before they have had much
growth and allow the plants to run on
the brush. This will keep the fruit out
of the dirt, and an occasional moderate
trimming of the vines and leaves will
expose it to the sun. But good frame
will pay well in the end.-Neoo York
Observer.

How to Have Pure, Sweet Milk.

The following rules prescribed by
large New York company, who own
twenty creamerios, are offered for the
consideration of our friends in the milk
business:
Rules-1. Never under any circum.
stances put a pail of milk into your can
before straining. One pail of unstrained
milk may spoil a whole can, and one
can of impure milk will certainly in.
Jure all milk or cream with which il
comes in contact. In the name of de.
cency, we beg of every patron to be par
ticular about milking and properly
straining the milk.
2. Cans containing milk should never
be kept in milking barn during the
night. The scent of the stable (howev-
Ell well kept will injure the milk and
spoil the nice flavor fresh butter should
have. An open shed little distance
from your barn, your woodshed or your
kitchen, is the only proper place for
keeping milk over night
suggestions. Insist that your milk
ing be done in clearly manner. Too
much pains can not be taken in this par
ticular. Carelessness here will entail
great loss on the manufacturer and
insult the consumer.
2. Bed your cows with sawdust, if
possible; it will keep your cows clean
and the stable sweet.
3. Do not, under any circumstances.
leave your pals and strainer at the barn
over night. Please carry them TO the
house and insist that they be properly
waSbad bnfh ,,,orninor opd ,yo,,;,,os
Much depends on this.
A. Use only tin pals for milking.
5. The tin strainer pals are the best
for straining milk. Some dairymen use
strainer pals and also cloth stretched
over the can-thus straining the milk
twice. We advise this double straining
of milk. 1t costs you but little trouble
while it will greatly add to the value of
the butter and cheese made from your
milk.

THE DAIRY.

Mr. Henry Stewart says with en-
phasis: ''lt costs no more to raise a
good COW than a poor one"
"A Nebraska dairyman gives the fol-
lowing advice: Feed sound food and
give clean water to your stock; be per-
fectly clean in all the operations of pro-
ducing butter; market il VIII. e fresh,
and don't wait for rise, and l will
guarantee the value. will rise to an aver
age of seventy-five cents per pound, and
oleomargarine factories will Slip out of
existence, and both makers and con.
sumers of butter will be satisfied"
Selling Milk and Exhausting Land.
Without going into the exact fig.
ureS to show the amount of fertilizino
material carried off from the land, il
will be sufficient to remark in general
way that, while high price is obtained
in selling the milk for what is carried
away, low sum is paid for the enrich
ing substances supplied in the pur-
chased food, and in any special fertil-
iZers added. In other words. the COWS
convert ow-priced material into that
which sells at a much higher rate, while
large portion is still retained in the
shape of manure from the animals to be
applied to the land. A much larger
portion of the produce of the land is re-
tanned in selling milk. than in raising
and selling grain. Harris gives the
following figures by way of illustrating
these advantages Five hundred pounds
of cheese contains twenty-five pounds
of nitrogen and twenty pounds of min
eral matter. A COW, to produce it,
would eat six tons of hay or its equiva-
lent in grass, which would contain 240
pounds of nitrogen and $40 pounds of
mineral matter, very small portion of
which goes off in the cheese, and the
rest remains to enrich the land; while
a crop of wheat removes five or six
times as much. Grain-growing farm
ers keep up the fertility of their land,
and dairymen can do so much more
easily.-R1tral Nea0 Yorker.
