The Cultivation and Harvesting OF
Barley.

Barley may I've treated the same as
wheat, sOwn in the fall after summer
following, or in spring, according to the
variety or climate where it is raised.
Sometimes winter barley is sown after
wheat. provided the season is long
enough to admit of turning under the
'tubble and getting the land in condi-
ION to receive the seed in time to in
sure fall growth. Barley will thrive
moderately well in soils that are con-
sidered too light for wheat, but in all
cases it requires fertile soil to pro-
luce good barley. In Europe barley
enters into the rotation of crops, and
either the spring or winter varieties are
sown, as most convenient.
The usual quantity of seed sown is
from two to four bushels on an acre, the
former being an abundance if sown in
irills. But the quantityshould he varied
somewhat. according to the character of
The soil and the comparative earl ness
)r lateness of the time of sowing. There
are also great differences in the varie-
". Some have a habit of tillering very
lbundantly, while others only sparng-
ly, and the quantity of seed sown should
be varied accordingly On very rich
soil, and with varieties that tiller
freely, two bushels broadcast would be
abundant, while twice this quantity,
under different conditions. might not
be any too much. The farmer should
always take such things into considera-
ton, and use his own Judgment, if he
has no better guide, in sowing barley
or other kinds of grain.
In the best and most favorable seasons
barley requires more care in harvesting
that wheat, oats or rye, as the grain
soon becomes discolored if exposed to
uDfavorable conditions. Barley should
always be cut before the straw is fully
ripe, for when it reaches this condition
it is very brittle, and The heads easily
break off in handling. AS soon as the
grain has hardened sufficiently to admit
of rubbing off the chaff in the hand, it
is time to commence cutting. The
grain at that time will have passed the
milky stage. and when crushed will be
like firm dough. The stalks NAV still
be little green at the upper part, but
this should not cause delay in cutting.
for the grain will be heavier and better.
and secured with less loss than if har
vesting is DELAYED. In harvesting.
reapers and binders may be used as for
wheat. but if the straw be short it NAV
be cut with n cradle. and then bound in
bundles and set up in shocks to cure
few days before hauling into the barn
or stacking out. 1t should never be
left out in the swath, for n very light
shower or even heavy dews will often
produce moldiness, and iniure the
color of the grain. Barley. when well
put up in stacks or stored in dry barn,
is 10 more liable to injury than wheat;
therefore, the farmer need be in no.
hurry about threshing it, unless there is
danger of loss from vermin.-N y.

Profits Of the Asparagus Crop.

There is perhaps no ordinary crop
grown that yields as much profit as the
asparagus. Everybody seems to like it,
and the demand for it increases far be.
yond the growth of the population. But
in this crop, as in almost every other.
everything depends upon the proper
cultivation of it. We have seen state.
ments that as much as from one to two
thousand dollars have been the profit OF
single acre; but it is very difficult to
get at the exact net gain of an acre, as
there are so many expenses to be de-
Quoted which are not at all times count
ed. An experienced trucker does not
grow only asparagus upon his land, but
other crops, which would generally be
sufficient TO pay for all the expense OF
the asparagus crop, and thus leaving
this clear.
In speaking of the asparagus crop,
some people ask of us what variety is
the best to plant to obtain the best re-
turn; but it is now known that there is
no variety that will come true from the
seeds; and as asparagus can not be
raised IN any other way, it is foolish To
talk OF variety. 1t is discovered that
the plant has male and female flowers
on separate plants; hence one plant is
crossed by another were in flower. No
doubt those who have endeavored 10
improve the plant, and supposed thew
had new varieties. were honest in tbeiI
opinion and sold them in good faith:
there is also no doubt but that they
were entirely mistaken, and that the
superiority OF their asparagus was .
mere matter of culture. II has not beep
many years that the separation of the
sexes in these plants has been made
known; and this being the case. 20,

What is he doing?
de Is getting satisfaction.
For what?
Why, the other gentleman called him
liar, gave him black eye, and made
him swallow four front teeth against his
will. $3.50 -'-'
Is ne satisfied now?
Oh, yes.
How?
Wen, the bullet has perforated four
vital organs and his stomach.
My! But how does he feel over that?
Somewhat uncomfortable.
But do not see how that hole in his
stomach satifies him.
DO you suppose he wants two holes in
nis stomach?
On! but would he not be happier with
out any hole in his stomach?
Ask him.
Well, big gentleman insults a small
gentleman.
And then?
The small gentleman invites the big
gentleman out.
And then?
The big gentleman's friends accept
the invitation.
For themselves?
No; for him.
Gracious! but is that friendship
Certainly.
How?
1t gives the big gentleman chance to
add injury to insult.
Well, after the poor big gentleman
has accepted, how does the poor little
gentleman feel?
He is scared nearly to death.
And how does the poor big gentleman
feel?
He is scared, too.
But if they are both so frightened why
do not they back out?
I Their friends will not let them.
Goodness! Why not?
Because they want to see the fun.
But when one poor gentleman gets
killed in an affair of honor, does the COM

Very.
Because it feels sorry for the poor
gentleman who was killed?
No.
Then why?
Because both gentlemen were not
killed.-Life.

HOrse-Riding.

Horse-riding Is much better exercise
