Good Crops of Winter wheat again
on River Lands,

Vermont at one time raised her own wheat !;
or, at least, no flour of any account was con-
sumed in the state not made from wheat rails
ed within its borders. We have no statistics
to prove this, and do not know that they are
obtainable, but we think no one will question
the fact. Within the memory of many now
living every farmer sowed wheat, as nearly
every farmer now sows oats, but the frequent
failure of the crop, with the cheapness of
western flour, caused wheat-growing to be
generally abandoned in the greater part of
the state. OF late years, only small pro-
portion of the -four consumed in Vermont
has been made from home grown wheat At
templs to raise wheat on low lands or inter.
wales were generally abandoned years ago.
A few hill farmers have continued to raise it
with tolerable success, but its successful cul-
tiyation in the valleys or on low lands has
been considered out of the question in this
part of the state. Windham county produced
only about 1000 bushels by the census of
lS7O-nOt enough to supply more than one
barrel of flour out of thirty barrels used OF
winter wheat, only III bushels are reported
for Windham county in the census returns
for 1870. The little raised in this county has
been almost entirely spring wheat
Within the past two or three years, far
mers have been trying winter wheat on the
intervales of West River, and have met with
surprising success, thirty five bushels, or
more, to the acre having been raised. In
nearly every case where it has been tried the
grower has been rewarded with a heavy crop
In Townshend, where a large share of the
river farmers sowed winter wheat in the fall
of $780, the product the past season is re-
ported to have averaged not less than % or
30 bushels per acre Encouraged by such re-
suits the farmers of that town put in an in
creased acreage in winter wheat this fall. If
the crop harvested next summer should equal
that of last season, and of the previous sea-
SON. which was equally good in the few cases
where it was raised we may expect winter
wheat thereafter to be one of the principal
crops of these farms. The average yield,
which is here reported upon what is believ
ed to be reliable authority, is twice as great
as the average yield of wheat per acre in the
United States, which is about IA bushels.

scraps Of interest and information, the following:
The first place visited by the reporter the fruit

Spouse to rumor that the proprietor had been cured
of rheumatism by the great remedy. Mr.. Leyett not
being in, the reporter had talk with his son, who
stated that his father had been cured of exceeding
ly bad attack of rheumatism by the st. Jacobs on.
He had the disease in his right arm and shoulder
which became perfectly helpless after being affected
few hours. His pain was great that he could not
rest in comfort attend TO business with any degree
Of satisfaction. After enduring this sort Of thing for
some time, he purchased bottle of the Great German
Remedy, and began to apply it. He did not mince
matters at all, but just used the Oil for all it was
worth. After pursuing this mode of treatment for
three days the pain banished and his father was
in perfectly healthy condition. He has never since
felt any rheumatic pain.

Last summer, says the Journal of Science,
''some common hive bees built comb against
the flat wall of house in Dorsetshre, Eng
land. A few pieces of the comb were exhb-
tied at the November meeting of the Ento-
biological Society, London, and they had ev-
identity contained bee grubs. This is an un-
exAmpled departure from the habits of the
species" 1t is not IAN unexampled depar-
ture from the habits of the species" here.
They are not unfrequently found adhering to
the trunk of tree or the under surface of a
large limb, whore they attach their combs,
store honey and rear their brood. We have
heard bee-hunters speak of several such in
stances occurring in this county. Bees that
build in this way are late, feeble colonies, or
the remnants of swarms that have been la
ken up, or robbed of their stores and turn
ed out of their homes. They seem to know
by a kind of instinct that it makes but little
difference to them where they locate, as they
cannot possibly survive the winter. Full
swarms, appearing here in the natural swarm
ing season, never locate in such places.
Where much of the country is woodland,
such colonies seem to have no difficulty in
finding a suitable hive ready made-a hollow
tree-where they thrive as well and store as
much honey as in any hive ever patented

In all parts of New England the rigors Of
winter must be softened by snuglybuilt
houses and by liberal consumption Of fuel.
The first work of the winters morning is
to start or to replenish the fire. In this work
il is easy to make a fire that will cook
breakfast, and yet leave the room cold and
uncomfortable The women shiver about
their work with shawls over their shoulders,
and the men 90 out of doors TO seek warmth
in their labor This management is wrong.
The fire Of the morning should be so brisk
that the heat will permeate the walls, warm
up the furniture, melt the ice on the windows,
and give surplus OF heat. Then, even If
the fire is neglected for n short time, the tenn
peralure of the air will be mild The canary
will sing, the house plants thrive, the cat purT
in the cushioned chair, and the creeping child
can be trusted upon the floor without fear OF
Group.
If family have only one stove it should
be cook stove, with a fre-box that will
hold liberal amount of wood and warm the
room as well as cook the food but il two
stoves are in use in a section where wood is
used, let the second be one that will hold
what we term "a chunk of wood, first, be-
cause in working up wood there will be many
tough pieces that it is pleasure TO leave
large for burning, and second, because such
pieces are desirable to give that continuous,
even heat which is so pleasant through the
day, and more especially through the long
winter night, keeping one or more rooms at
such temperature that frost, with its de-
structive power never enters.
l well remember the ornamental parlor
cook stove that first occupied our sitting
room. It's diminutive fre-box needed to be
filled with the best of wood, cut fine Then
it would roar like demon, but it was no
match for the frost that marched through
every room in the house, and almost took
away the Joy of living Now plain box stoves
of proper construction receive such Chunks"
and consume them so faithfully that house
plants several years old stand by our windows
and have never lost a leaf by frost. Devise
liberal things in regard TO fuel and heat, and
and on will add to the winter comforts Of
home-Z. h. d., in Am. CultiUdtOr.

One of the most encouraging signs Of sub

in the number of experiment stations and
the liberal appropriations that have been
made to sustain them in some of the states.

favorable auspices has just been located at

San Francisco, May 9.-Ths dis
patches from the interior show that the
crop prospects are less favorable than
at the time of last report. Furious
northern winds have been blowing in
the Sacramento valley and while in the
extreme northern counties and foot hills
the prospects are good, the greater
portion of the valley is suffering from
the effects of the drying wind, and in
some of the largest wheat counties such
as Yolo, Colusa, and upper Solano,
scarcely more than half a crop is ex-
pected; in the counties north of Bay
the prospects are better, and in south
ern Solano excellent; in counties east
of Bay the outlook is fair, and the
same is true in a measure of the lower
portion of the San Joaquin valley, but
throughout the greater portion of that
valley the yield promises to be very
small, except on irrigated land higher
up the valley; Southern Bay county
promises about a two-thirds crops;
around Monterey, Bay and in Salinas
valley the outlook is very favorable;
the growing is less 1attering further
south along the coast. The reports in
general indicate a good fruit yield.
