Harvesting Wheat.

It 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 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 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 -four. 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 to
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 q 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 heats 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.

Training Tomatoes.

The tomato crop has become one Of
the 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 q stock fruit, TO De
eaten for salad or sauce, and are still
more useful for favoring soups and
other dishes. In the East they have
been used for 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 havor.
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 a 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 OF
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 i
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 bt
preserved by little extra pains.
Where trellis or frame cannot bt
made it is well to put brush on thu
ground before they have had mucf
growth and allow the plants to run or
the brush. This will keep the fruit ou
of the dirt, and an occasional moderate
trimming of the vines and leaves viii
expose it to the sun. But good frame
will pay well in the end.-Ne'u Korl

Hog Cholera.

We have heard of late that this
scourge has broken out in several prom
inent herds of swine in the vicinity of
this city with considerable virulence,
and that many animals have fallen VIC
Tins to its attacks. The prices that
have been realized for fat pigs of late
render this stock of too much value to
be needlessly sacrificed, and we would
urge upon our friends interested in this
kind of stock to use the best of sanitary
precautions to ward off this fell disease.
The presence of this malady is often
attributable to a lack of care in the diet
of the animals, or to the cleanliness of
the quarters, or perhaps to both COM
bined. We would advise the sprinkling
of a liberal quantity of quick lime in the
nests and places which the pigs fire.
quent, to thoroughly disiufect them
from any malarious conditions which
may exist, giving the pigs access at the
same time to pile of the lime, which
they will eagerly devour, and will visit
frequently for the purpose. A mixture
of salt and ashes, fed at least weekly,
we have always considered a valuable
preventive, and a condiment which pigs
relish highly. A weekly allowance Of
common mineral coal will also be de-
voured with much relish, and contribute
much toward keeping the animals in a
healthy condition. Above all, a vegeta.
BILE diet is an essential in the hot sum-
mer months, to keep the blood from be.
coming unduly heated and poisoned
thereby.
If strict sanitary precautions are
taken, and the wants of the brutes fol
which nature calls well supplied. very
much may be done to ward off the ten

become subject, and immense losses in
this line thereby prevented Burlington
