The CULTURE OF WHBAT.-Some
twelve to fifteen years ago an impression
prevailed-indeed the results seemed to
establish the fact-that wheat culture in
Pennsylvania, like fruit-culture, had
run out, and farmers clubs and agricul-
tural papers went full tilt to discussing
the reason of 1t. But subsequently both
took turn, and we should like to know
to-day if any one oares to say that both
wheat and fruit cannot be raised as sue
cessfully there as in almost any other
State. Some said at first that 1t would
last only a little while-now and then
we may get along we'll enough, but
who can say how long it will last, or in
case failure should come again what
we are to do abaut it. This was anti
cipating an evil which there was no
reason to believe would soon occur
again, and as If has not yet returned We
hear no more about 1t. The grumblers
are quiet; they take with thanks, We
hope, all they receive, and may en-
tertain the best expectation for the fu-
ture.
The greatest enemy of the wheat crop
Is too much water. 1t may be SAID that
the whest-root is more susceptible to
injury from too much water than many
of us believe. To be sure there is a
general impression that an overdose OF
water is bad, but the full force of the
impression is seldom felt as it deserves
to be. Water lying around roots does
not always kill the wheat plant, but
many of the roots are injured, and the
few that are left are not able to do
the work that all were intended to take
part in dong. If eny one will dig up a
wheat plant in spring which has stood
all winter In a wet place, he will see ex-
actly how this is. Only living roots
close to the surface and below this may
be injured.

AGRICULTURE.

TAsLf Fo~L.-It is an admitted fact
that the majority of the American pso-
pie indulge too freely in pork as a meat
food. And it is equally true that the
major number of farmers and market
pouiterers are very Indifferent as to the
quality of poultry flesh they send to
market. One class of our poor people
see nothing tempting in the poultry line
to induce them to becJme lovers OF
chicken flesh, and the others do not
endeavor to produce fowl that will be
universally considered excellent for the
table.
If We take any Of the fancy bred va
rieties of poultry there is hardly one ex-
cept the game, which is what may be
considered first class table-fowl. The
Dorking, though having a national re-
putation, is almost tabooed hom the
poulterer's yard on account of being
tender and difficult to rear in this coun-
try. The Asiatic, as now bred. carries
enormous quantities of feathers. while
their breasts are almost devoid of flesh,
and present little more than q heap of
bones when, placed on the table, while
their skins are terribly coarse.
The Plymouth Rock has been bred in
the past few years above the natural
size. This alone, if no other. would de-
tract from the quality of its flesh. The
Houdan Is fast being changed by those
who breed them for exhibition, into an
ornamental fowl. The Creveceur Is
also becoming a bird of plumage. and is
difficult to raise. The Spanish will
never answer for a table fowl, as they
are utterly useless for the rough wear
and tear of the farmyard. The Ham
burgs, Leghorns and Polish are too
small for the food market, and do not
take on fat kindly. Farmers could not
be induced to breed them but tor their
eggs only. We are therefore compelled
to arrive at the conclusion that among
the many varieties of poultry we have
not yet succeeded in breeding one
which may be considered a prime table
fowl

HUMoRouH,

Why does the young lady hug hel
sunshades so sffectionately? Does she
think it a baby?
Oh, no; the young lady would no,
hold baby SO tightly. 1t would kill
the little dear,
Then tell me why she hugs her para
sol?
She is IL the employ of a surgeon.
In the employ of a surgeon? What
do you mean?
Do you see the crutch of her sunshade
protruding from her left shoulder?
Oh, yes; see that quite plainly.
There, did you see her gouge out that
gentleman's eye?'
1t was neatly done.
Very; that is probably the twentieth
eve she has obliterated during her walk.
The surgeon will pay her for her kind
ness.
Does she confine her operations to
optics?
No; sometimes sue destroys a nose,
and occasionally slashes a cheek She
is very versatile. She is more terrible
than an army with banners.
But do not the gentlemen hate her
Oh, no, they love and admire her;
but they detest and despise her parasol.

A NEW APRoN.-American Queen:
The latest in aprons is called the Sew
ing Apron" Cut the goods in the same
manner as for an ordinary apron, gored
at the top, and quarter of yard al
low ID for the hem. Turn the bottom
up and cut it to fit the sides. Bind the
pocket with satin ribbon; if of wash
goods, simply hem. The sides may be
left uncut, if desired, and a piece of
elastic run through the hem. Place
bows OF ribbon ON each side of the pock-
ct, and embroider design of flowers
across the top in colored silks, or with
embroidery cotton. In the lower left
hand corner work in Kensington, a
spool of thread, scissors, etc. In the
opposite corner work in fancy letters a
suitable motto, such as ga stitch In
time saves nine" or "How does the ut
tie busy bee improve each shining hour. "
The pocket may be divided by means
of shirrs into two or three compartments,
which will be found of great convent
ence in making feather-edge or thread
crochet. The goods may be of muslia.
linen, pongee or silk. The apron may
be fastened around the waist by long
strings of narrow rlbbop, or by PLAIN
band.

HANGING WINDOW CURTAINS. .-Wher
you are ready to hang them, take dowr
your cornice, dust it well, then covel
your piano with a sheet or quilt to
protect it, and lay your cornice upon il
with its lower side next you; find the
middle of it. and mark it with a pencil.
Now take the two curtains belonging to
one window, and put the fronts at the
middle of the cornice. tapping them
over a couple of inches; put in a tack
or two to hold them in place; then fas-
ten the other side of each curtain to the
opposite ends; now find the middle of
each curtain and tack it to the quarter
of the cornice; this will prevent their
being full in some places and scant in
others; proceed then to gather the full
ness into equal plaits, which fasten
with tacks. Do not hammer your tacks
in as If they were never to come out;
you will only exasperate those who are
SO unfortunate as TO have to dig them
out after you, and You will not keep up
your curtains any the better for it.
Use large tacks, and do not drive them
more than half way in. BY putting the
cornice on a piano, or other high object,
you will be enabled to regulate the folds
as you fasten them. Draw the cornice
to the edge of the piano, and you can
see Just how the curtains will hang at
the window

The boys are as proud of their beau
tiful little engine as lad with his first
fowling piece; and while they will keep
it as bright and clean as a new dollar,
they will always be ready to respond to
the alarm of fire, and to do effective
work in Quenching the destructive
flames. Now that the magnificent work
OF the engine has sllenced criticism, and
completely retuted the objections raised
against steam engine, we hope that
our citizens will cooperate with the
company and render them such AID as
may De necessary to finish paying for it,
and we believe they will do so. II they
are not convinced of its efficiency now,
they never will be; nor would the sup
preston of conflagration do so.
We acknowledge with sincere pleas
ure the vote of thanks rendered by the
Fire Company to the COURIER, and to
us as members, for our exertions in be
half of securing the steam fire engine;
and take this occasion of saying to them
that sooner or later the Fire Company
will secure the full measure of praise
due them, from our people, for their
commendable and persistent efforts to
place themselves on firm and efficient
fire footing. Let the boys "stand to
their colors," keep their engine and hose
in first-class order, drill often and sub
NIT to discipline, and they will yet
prove themselves the guardians and
protectors of Opelousas in time of need.
