Waste in Threshing.

A careful German farmer has tested the
waste from a threshing machine or robber,
as it is called, which takes in the bundle
sideways, SO as to admit of its being rebound.
He ran the chaff, which was supposed to
be free from grain, through a tanning
mill, and obtained twenty-five bushels of
rye. This was 20 per cent. of his crop.
It proves that in the hurry and helter
SHELTER and :hurrah boys" connected with
threshing machines, especially the itinerant
ones, there is always considerable waste.
Where | spread buckwheat straw to
mulch the strawberry beds, buckwheat
came up last spring thick enough to seed
the ground. An economical manager of a
paper mill once said that they obtained 10
per cent. of the cost of rye straw in therye
that was in it. They always threshed the
straw over before using it in the mill, and
in this way reduced its cost. The lesson
to be learned from these fact are obvious.
There should be less hurry about the thresh
ing, and the feeding of the machine should
be slower, in order to insure more perfect
shelling of the grain. The owner should
should see that the cleaning mill is in good
order, and the shelves are kept clean.
otherwise the grain will run over and go
out with the chaff.-Ne,c York Tribune

HIGH PRICED CATTLE.

A good many persons are wondering
what will be the end of the present ex-
element in prices of jersey cattle, for to
claim that there is no excitement among
buyers when they are anxious to pay two
or three thousand dollars for single ami
NAL, would be claiming what no one be-
lieyes. An observant reader in New York
state, who was present at recent auction
sale of Jerseys in New York city, writes US
'that unless the price of that kind of stock
keeps up number of years, somebody will
get stuck | saw a yearling heifer, Jennie
Pogis, sold for $4,000, and Daisy Pogis for
S2,400 | have not the courage to try my
luck in Jerseys at these prices, though if
they would keep up for the next ten years
it would do to buy few calves at mod
crate price, such as were sold at from $160
to S175, looking to be worth about $3.50,
though hardly that"
But if 5000 seems high price to pay
for single animal, what shall we say of
the statement which is just published on
good authority that one of the farmers
who is anxious to secure some good Jersey
COWS has recently visited Mr.. Fuller's herd
in Hamilton, Ont, and offered $40, 900 for
Mary Ann of ST. Lambert's. And what
shall we say of the refusal Of such an of
fer? That two unwise men met? The
same mail that brings the news of this
great offer and refusal also brings the sad
story of the death by milk fever of one of
the noted butter COWS, Valhalla, $500,
COW that had made "a pounds of butter in
IA days and was expected to beat her own
record next summer. Mr.. Farlee, the
owner, in reporting his loss to the Breeders
Gazette, says: "This seems to be the fate,
earlier or later, of great mixers and butter
makers"
Men who have 10000 to offer or refuse
for single animals, and who can afford to
take all the risks Of carrying such property,
may perhaps well spend their money in
that way. 1t will benefit somebody prob
ably. But farmers who don't make their
money easily, or who have to borrow funds
for such speculations, had better stand
back, keep cool, and look on. The public
good calls for no sacrifice from such men.

Late Fan plowing for Wire Worms.

The term Wire-worin properly belongs
to the long, slender, and uncommonly hard
larvae of the Elaters-the spring, or click
beetles. These, when placed on their backs,
suddenly spring several inches into the air,
with click sound The largest of these
beetles is about two inches in length, and
has two large, round spots upon the upper
side of the body, which are often mistaken
for eyes. Its surface is covered with a
whitish powder. Its frequently found on
the trunks and branches of old apple trees
during the months of June and July, and
from its large size, peculiar ''eye spots,
and strange manner of springing, it Is often
mistaken by noyices for new species Of
bug. The larva is about two and a half
inches long, has very strong jaws, and bur
rows in decaying wood of old apple trees.
There are several other smaller species of
spring beetles, some of them conspicuous
only by the injury they do to cultivated
plants. Those wire worms which live IN
the soil and feed upon young roots and
stems are the most destructive. So far as
their history is known they live from three
to four years. Their injury to the potato
though perhaps no greater than to some
other crops, is often ruinous. Indian corn
and the grasses sometimes suffer greatly
1t is not easily reached with any poison,
and the leading remedy is frequent blowing
Wire worms are generally COMPOUNDED with
the cut worms, and in destructiveness may
be considered the same. The mature state
of the cut worm being moth, it is easily
distinguished from the 'click" or spring
beetle. Another group of worms is also
often spoken of as cut worms, but the
members are myriapods, with many ring
like divisions to the long bodies, each of
which is provided with two pairs of legs.
These, sometimes called the thousand
legged worms, are of dark brown color,
and when disturbed coil into ring. They
do not pass from one state to another, like
ordinary insects. Some of these false wire
worms feed upon the roots Of cultivated
plants, and do much damage. They may
be caught by placing slices of potato or
turnip upon the surface of the soil The
white grub is also associated with the wire
worms in its manner of living, and needs
the same treatment. All of these subter-
ranean pests have their natural enemies,
the chief among which are the birds. Late
fall blowing is doubly beneficial, as it turns
the worms out of their winter quarters and
exposes them to the freezing weather, and
also brings them within easy reach of insect
eating birds-American Agriculturist.

That Glorious Song of Old.

1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
10 touch their harps of gold;
Peace TO the earth, goodwill to men
From Heaven s all-gracious King
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
still through the cloven sky they come
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
Ger all the weary world;
Above is sud and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever Ger its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And men, af.war with men, hear not
The loye-song which they bring;
OH hush the noise, We men ofstrife,
And hear the angels sing.
And sc. beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low.
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow;
Look now for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road.
And hear the angels sing
For lol the days are fastening on,
l.y prophet-bards foretold,
When with the eyer-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When Peace snail over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Value of the sunfiower.

Professor Bergstrand, of the Royal Ag-
ricultural Academy of Sweden, publishes a
most laudatory report on the virtues OF
sunhower seed cake as food for cattle. He
states that it presents remarkable con-
stancy of composition rarely if ever met
with in other cakes as met with in COM
merce. 1t contains from Ii to 16 per
cent. of fat, and 30 to 36 per cent of pro-
TEN substances, and has, therefore, nutri-
tive value far above that of most ordinary
feeding stuffs, besides which it has most
agreeable taste, and is altogether free from
bitter or any injurious matters. Some
careful experiments on its effects upon
mich COWS have been made at the Ultima
Agricultural Institute by Baron Akerhjelm,
which tend to show that it both improves
the quality and increases the quantity Of
their milk. the butter from which is also of
exceptional excellence. Many practical
farmers in the neighborhood have also
made trial of the same food, and are
unanimous in their favorable verdict.
a%nilch cows all took greedily to the
cake from the first day it was fed to them,
and in all cases an improvement in the
quality of the milk was quickly noted.
For draught oxen and fattening bullocks
also it is equally suitable, especially for the
latter, whose meat presents an unequalled
richness of flavor when thus fed, and it
may be given in small quantities to horses,
with much advantage, mixed in thick
mas chat. In comparison with other
e uffs this cake is very cheap, and
BE given in larger quantities than
Ether cakes, without any i'll effect.

A Vermont correspondent of the Proc-
ticaI Farmer gives some of the results of
his experiments in cultivating orchards,
which, although according with the expert
ments of others, may be useful. Sowing
wheat in an orchard always checks the
growth of the trees, even if the ground is
MANFRED. Oats are exhausting, but less
SO than wheat. Corn and potatoes both
answer well, and the cultivation they re-
eeive benefits the trees. In one instance
half of an orchard was sown with wheat,
and the consequence was it was put back
two years as compared with the other half.
Wheat in thrifty young plum orchard
ruined it. To these statements we may
add the following A neighbor set out
hundred peach trees, cultivating a part of
the ground in potatoes, and the remainder
was put n wheat None of the trees i'll
the potatoes grew less than foot and
half, and some sent up shoots two feet
feet high. None of those which stood in
the wheat ground grew more than three
inches,

Eheat is the Old English adieetiv.

Wheat is the Old English adjective
letite. Wheat is the white grain as con-
trasted with rye, oats, buckwheat, and other
dark grains 1t was unknown in America
till introduced here from Europe, but it is
now grown extensively in the temperate
zones of North and South America Our
own country is the greatest wheat granary
in the world. The production of wheat in
the United States is about FIVE hundred
millions of bushels year; and, as the pop
ulation of our country is about fifty mil
lions, this would give to each man, woman
and child, in our land, ten bushels year.
