Hence the nuts would get carried about from

hedgerows or woods, under circumstances
admirably adapted for their proper germina-
ton. Surprising this to happen often, the
jucest berries would get most frequently
eaten, and so would produce hearty young
plants oftener than those among their neigh
bors which simply trusted to dropping of
casually among the heritage. Again, the
birds like sweetness as well rs pulpinoss, and
those berries which grew most full of sugary
juices would be most likely to attract their
attention. Once more, the brightest colored
fruits would be most easily seen among the
tall foliage Of the hedgerows, and so those
berries which showed any tendency toward
redness of flesh would be sure to gain point
in attractiveness over their greener rivals

Poultry Talk at the Groeeryman..

drummer had finished his business at the
groceryman's, and casually inquired, "How
much are you paying for eggs" Twenty
three cents, was the reply. you are pay
ing too much" was the remark, and then the
drummer said he was going into the poultry
business because there was money in It, He
mentioned the instance of lady who had an
incubator by means of which she had from
$50 eggs Matched 225 chickens, which he
thought was better than could be done with
20 hens and he was undoubtedly right
and, said he, you have saved the feed for
the % hens, and it will take no more to feed
the chicks than with natural mothers" The
advocate thought everything depended upon
care, and a good poultry house. An old
farmer who had been listening to the re.
marks stated that he had as good a poultry
house as need be, had 80 hens that were care
fully fed by his wife with variety of food
well seasoned with red pepper, and every
thing Was conducted as well as could be, but
that he could not get more than six or eight
eggs day, and thought it did not pay. An.
other farmer mentioned that he kept only
about eight hens and rooster, but fed them
a variety of food, chopped potatoes onions
carrots, etc, kept them in basement cellar
where 1t was light and warm, and where there
was plenty of dry sand and ashes for wallow-
ing in, kettle Of fresh water every day, and
he obtained six and seven eggs per day.
The drummer cited a. Massachusetts man
who was largely engaged in poultry raising
and kept his fowls pretty closely confined, es
peoislly in winter. The poultry house was a
long one with everything in the most perfect
order and with fire at each end of the
building, plenty of sand and gravel, a stream
OF running water passing through so that the
fowls could have fresh water whenever they
chose, and he had large quantities of eggs.
A young man present remarked that he
should like to see him start in business, and
he would like to look on that he at one time
went into the poultry business and at the end
of the first year had lost $500, went out of the
business and should not try it again. The
majority OF those present seemed to be skep.
tioal upon the question of the great profit re-
sulting from poultry raising, unless it be the
dealers in the eggs and fowls.-W II. Ye0.

The plumpness OF the grain should not be
permitted to mislead as the heaviest will not
be as plump as tLo lighter, aud perhaps ap.
pear shrunken.
But let us return after this DEPRESSION
which, however, may not have been an entire
ly useless ono-and refer more particularly to
this precise time when grain should be cut.
Appearance is sometimes deceptive. The col
or OF the straw is not Il safe guide, as this do
ponds upon variety and the weather. Tho
best guido is the condition Of the grain, and
this may be tested by gathering head here
and there in the field, and II the yet green
grains rub out easily in the hand, and, when
crushed by the thumb.nail break easily and
are dry and foury, with regular fracture, the
cradle may be put to work to make path for
the reaper and the grain laid down at once.
The last portion Of the field may DO loft till
all else is cut bound aud shocked, when it is
usually dead ripe, but not so dry as to allow
the grain to shell out and be lost With oats,
buckwheat and sometimes barley, tho loss Is
very great if it is left too long, unless it is cut
when damp with dew. As oats are valuable
chiefly for their heterogeneous substance, we like
to cut them as ripe as possible, choosing carly
morning or even moonlight night to harvest
them and save waste Buckwheat we cut as
soon as one ripe kernel is to be found, as this
grain will actually mature from the blossoms
while in the stock, especially in damp wealth
er, aud if left until most of the grain is ripe
the loss is apt to be very great. Henry StoU-

Every bread maker has observed that the
temperature at which her dough is kept while
rising has a decided influence upon its quality.
If it is kept warm, so that the process of fer.
mentation goes on rapidly, the bread will be
whittier and tenderer than if it is allowed to
rise in a low temperature. The little yeast
plant with the long name flourishes best at
temperature of about - and when it has an
abundance of sugar to feed upon. If no sd-
gar is put into the dough, the plant converts
the starch of the grain into sugar and feeds
upon IT,

Tribune correspondent says that young
horses should never have shoes imposed
upon them until it is well proved that they
cannot do without them. He predicts that

The ostrich farm near Costa, Los Angeles
county, Cal, attracts crowds Of visitors, who
are curious to see for themselves the results of
the experiment. Thus far they have been
successful. The birds are in excellent condi-
ton, and have already been despoied of
feathers worth 500. The Los Angeles Her
aid says that 1875 more ostriches are about to
be shipped from Buenos Ayres to New Or
leans, whence they will be distributed through
the southern states and territories.
Now that the strawberry bed has served its
season do not neglect it, unless you have a
new one started. In either case give frequent
and good cultivation. Work in a little old
fine manure, with little bone dust added if
you can get it. Keep the runners closely cut
off, and look for your reward next June.

The EvoIutIon or ,be s,ravI,.,,,

How did the edible strawberry get deyel.
oped from its barren ally? Well, If we take
the fruit Of any potentilla we shall find that
it consists of several small, dry, one.seeded
nuts, so tiny that they look themselves like
seeds, crowded on thick receptacle or flow
er-stalk, without any sign of redness or sue
oulenee. In some potentillas, however, as
the fruit npens this receptacle becomes q lit
tie spongy, something like the hull of a rasp-
berry, only without its pulpy character. 1t
is a common tendency Of fruits 10 develop
such pulpness, and sometimes they do so
quite suddenly by apparently spontaneous
variation, as when an almond tree has been
known to produce peach-like fruits. But no
fruit will permanently acquire such sucou-
lent character unless II derives some benefit

The Chcmistry Of Rutter.

The production of butter by churning is
both chemical and mechanical process
Milk, according to analysis, is composed of
Caseine, pure curd.......................
-
Saline matter..... 80
WATER.
Good butter should contain at least 50 per
cent. of fat or oil. This fat is composed of
solid or margarine fat and liquid or olen.
Winter butter contains, of solid fat, Gj parts
in 100, summer butter only 40 parts. This
fact explains why milk should be churned at
different temperatures in different seasons of
the year. This fat oily substance, in the form
of globules is formed in suspension in the
milk. By the mechanical action of the churn,
the envelopes of the globules are broken,
and the globules brought into cohesion and
separated from the other portions or compo-
nents of the cream. BY the chemical process
the sugar of milk is converted into Tactic &C.
id, and the bulk of the fluid which was put
into tho sweet churn is instantly soured
Boussingault prescribes the temperature for
churning to be 80 degrees for sweet cream,
G2 degrees for sour cream, and Ga degrees for
milk. About one-fourth of the total amount
of butter globules which exist in the cream
escape collection, which accounts for the rich
taste of the buttermilk. Fresh butter con
sists of about So per cent of pure butter and
1G of milk Of butter. The former can be
separated by melting the whole in long
tube; after time the butter proper rises to
the top. 1t is then drawn off into water at
10l degrees, and after one or two washings
may be considered pure.
