SUNSET.
by FRANCES L. MACE,

/" Still flushed the deepening tints, and now
A lurid luster came,
And as with sacrificial fire
The Orient burned with splendors dire,
The sea with tossing flannel
EsAnd once again wondrous change,
For over all the skies,
Swift fading as the night came down,
We're leagues of roses, brightly blown,
Of pure celestial dyes
g Fast as they doomed in heaven they shed
Their petals on the sea,
Till in a rosy wave of light
They vanished from our raptured sight,
A twilight mystery"

Selecting Breeders.

A Wisconsin farmer writes: "The
practice which many have of discard
ing the old SOW and filling up from the
young filters is very unwise, providing
the dams are of equal merit and breed
ing with the pigs. If, however, a
young SOW be kept.until she is year
old, well fed in the meantime, before
being bred, she will bring as strong and
growthy pigs as the old SOW. The no.
ton that SOW should be bred early
that she may become good suckler,
is erroneous. Maturity in growth of
the whole body is quite necessary to
the development of the milk glands,
and so we have proved to our ~satisfac-
ton by sufficient tests. The well
nourished sow, dropping her first litter
at one year to sixteen months, will, as
stated, bring as good pigs as the older
sows, and is quite as likely to have an
ample supply of milk"

that the roots have ceased to supply
further the plant with sap. Hence,
whatever sap and nutritious elements
are necessary to fill out the grain must
be in the stem and leaves. These the
rust plant appropriate to themselves
whilst the wheat remains uncut. But
it is evident, from the foregoing and
similar experiments, that the cutting
destroys the life Of the rust plants,
leaving to the grain the sap and nutri-
tious elements still in the STEM"
The result of the experiments refer
red to above, is similar to one made in
this county in 1874, upon land cult
waited on the shares.
The owner of the land (thirty.three
and one.half acres of which was in
wheat discovered the rust in the
wheat and requested the tenant to har.
vest it an once, to which he at first de-
INJURED, but finally acquiesced. Eight
and one>half acres was harvested on
the following day and permitted to lie
in the swarth until cured. About ten
acres was cut four days thereafter and
the remainder in eight days. The va
riety of the wheat sown was the Fultz.
The first cutting yielded twenty-three
bushels to the acre, the second about
ten and a half bushels, and the last
cutting about three bushels of very in>
different wheat.
would respectfully recommend all
farmers to try this method and report
results to this bureau. | would also
urge those who wish to SOW wheat next
fall not to do so until after good frost,
that the young plants may escape the
ravages of the Hessian fly.
The rust and the Hessian fly are the
greatest enemies known in this latitude
to the wheat crop, and if our farmers
can succeed in escaping or conquering
them they will enjoy rich and abun
dant harvests. A. j. McWHIRTER
