The Canals OF Amsterdam.

The canals are an unmitigated nuis-
ance. They may be all very well in the
winter, if the frost be hard enough to
freeze them, but as soon as the weather
begins to grow warm they give out an
odor like that which the Scripture tells
us is emitted by the deeds of the
wicked. They cut the city in all direc-
tons, and are of course only to be
crossed at regular intervals by the aid
of bridges; so that the pedestrian want
ing to get from one side of the street to
the other is liable to be sent 200 yards
out of his way before he can do so. At
night, in dark street, they are to be
approached warily, for false step or
tumble against the stone pillars to
which the boats and barges are moored
would be apt to send one head-foremost
into the water. But the quaint craft
that ply their sluggish waters have q
character and interest of their own, and
the mingling of town life with the life
of the river is curious enough in the
streets where the canals are found

White Bread.

1t appears to be a fact that this small
quantity of alum whitens the bread In
this, as in so many other cases of
adulteration, there are two guilty
parties the buyer who demands i'm
possible or unnatural appearances, and
the manufacturer or vender who sup
plies the foolish demand. The judg-
ing of bread by its Wilderness is a mis-
take which has led to much mischief,
against which the recent agitation for
"whole meal is, | think, an extreme
reaction.
If the husk, which is demanded by
the whOle-meal agitators, were as di-
gestible as the inner flour, they would

own opinion on this subject Git still re-
mains in the region of opinion rather
than of science) is that middle course
is the right one, viz, that bread should
be made of moderately dressed or

"hrsts," or undressed "thirds," i. e.,
unsifted whole-meal -four.
Such seconds -four does not fairly
produce white bread, and consumers
are unwise in demanding wilderness.
In my household we make our own
bread, but occasionally, when the de
mand exceeds ordinary supply, a loaf
or two is bought from the baker. l find
that, with corresponding or identical
flour, the bakers bread is whittier than
the homemade, and correspondingly
inferior. | may say, colorless in flavor,
it lacks the characteristics of wheaton
sweetness. There are, however, eX-
ceptons to this, as certain bakers are
now doing a great business in supply
inc what they call "home-made" or
farm house" bread. 1t is darker in
color than ordinary bread, but is sold
nevertheless at 4 higher price, and
find that it has the flavor of the bread
made in my own kitchen. When their
customers become more intelligent all

Amount OF Grass Seed Per Acre.

see in some of the papers lately q
writer claiming that farmers do not sow
enough grass seed per acre, and saws
in substance that this fact accounts for
their failure in raising good crop of
grass. He claims that two bushels of
timothy seed per acre is not too much,
and that peck or half bushel is not
enough. Now, what has led this writer
to such ideas or conclusions | do not
know, but | do not hesitate to pro-
nounce them unsound. When | was a
young man, and Just beginning farm
ing for myself, one of my neighbors,
an older man than myself, told me he
used half bushel of timothy seed per
acre, and thought that about right. [
sowed this amount one year and OBJ
served that my grass crop was not as
heavy as | had grown before from less
seed to the acre. The grass grew too
thick to attain proper height. In
other words it was too thick TO thrive.
The next year | sowed only peck per
acre, and had better results; but | was
satisfied had sowed too much still to
secure the best returns. l reduced the
quantity till | came down to two quarts
per acre. | am now satisfied that three
to four quarts per acre is enough, if
put in so it can grow. | do not throw
it on the ground and leave it to cover
itself, or wait for the rain to do that.
cover it as | would any other seed that
l wish to grow. Now, farmers, let us
look at this matter little. How
many seeds to the square foot would
you wish to have grow so that each
stalk may have room to grow and
thriveP Could more than one seed to
the square inch do well? | think IA
seeds to one square foot is as heavy
seeding as is desirable for the best re-
suits. have seen timothy seed come
so thick that none of it ever grew six
inches high; it Just chOked one another
out. Now, how much seed must be
used to furnish one seed to the square
inch? A little calculation will answer
this better than | can answer it in any
other way. By actual count the scru-
pie weight of timothy seed contains
5000 seeds; one ounce, 10000 seeds;
one pound, 1,22S, 800 seeds one bushels
So, 296, 900 seeds. One acre contains
100 square rods, or 43, $50 square feet,
or 6,272,64 inches. From the above
you see that one bushel of seed to the
acre would be eight and eight-tenths
seeds to the inch; of course two bushels
would furnish twice as many, or 17.6
seeds to the inch. Who wants seven
teen or eighteen seeds to one square
inch? What folly! What a waste Of
seed! This is, in my opinion, profit
Racy. From the above we see that one
quart of seed has l,72S,0 900 seeds, three
quarts, 5,lSI,0OO seeds. So that 3.62
quarts of timothy seed will make jus,
seed enough for one acre, sowing
ono seed to the square inch one

To pasture meadows after cutting

Thinning Fruit.

DIR. Jabez Fisher of Northern Massa-
chusetts, writes that the operation of
thinning fruit should be commenced
when the fruits are from one-half an
inch TO an inch in diameter First
Begin by removing so as to leave no
two specimens growing from the same
spur and no two SO near together that
they will be likely to touch each other
when full grown, leaving in all cases
the best one of a cluster. Second-No
specimen that is deformGd or is so in
iured in any way that it will be sure to
become deformed Us it grows. Third
No one that shows in! Jury by any insect.
Fourth-NO one that is materially
smaller than the average of the re-
mainder. DR.. Fisher has been remark
ably successful. He has practiced thin
ing fruit for many years. But will this
pay? To answer this question it is first
to be considered what it costs. Sup
pose Beurre d'Aniou pear tree, the
spherical head of which measures from
twelve to thirteen feet in diameter and
occupies say 1000 cubic feet of space
to set crop of 1000 pears. If all were
left to mature they would measure, pos
sibly, fifteen bushels, that might sell for
81 per bushel, or $50. If now the crop
be thinned to one-half it's number the
product would be likely to measure
eleven bushels, that would be WORT
fully twice the price of the other, or $44.
If the crop should comprise but 1,600
specimens, giving about ten cubic inches
OF space to each, the product would
still be ten bushels, fully worth So, OF
500 for the whole. -Furnl Journal.
