WHEAT.

Wheat has declined rapidly during
the past week. The next visible sup
ply statement is expected to show an
increase Of 100000 bushels. The
stock on handin Chicago is 1000, 900
more than at this season for four years,
and l0,000,000 more than in 1882.
Exports have decreased to an alarm
ing extent From September | to
IL the exports of wheat and its pro-
ducts We're only 9,500,00 bushels.
During the same period at no time in
the last six years have the exports
been less than double the amount,
and in 1879 there was 4S,000,000
bushels, or about five as much as this
year.

The fresh California grapes that
are offered in most parts of this coun-
try through the winter are preserved
by packing in sawdust. Tho method
generally practiced by the Spaniards
is to pack the clusters in wide-mouth
ed jars, putting into the bottom of
the jar.a layer Of hardwood sawdust
then layer Of grapes, then another
layer Of sawdust sifted in carefully
by hand SO as to fill all the interStcs
between the grapes and cover them,
then add another layer of grapes, and
so continue until each Jar is filled.
The jars are then put in a cool, dark
room or cellar, where a low. even
temperature can be maintained and
all light excluded. Soft-wood saw
dust would be more likely to impart
a disagreeable flavor 10 the fruit.

SHADING THE SOIL.

The improvement of the soil by
clover has been ascribed to the great
mass of roots left in the ground after
removing the crop; but clover does
more, it shades the soil. We are all
familiar with the fact that loose
board left on the ground for a short.
period of time darkens the soil, in
yites earth worms, and enriches the
location occupied by it. Darkness
Is an essential matter in the process,
and as but little moisture is evapora-
ted, and retention OF such made easy
by capillary attraction, we can easily
divine the cause of the change.
The darkness and protection from
the suns rays afforded by the board
are favorable conditions toward the
promotion of humus; and although
not pound of manure or other fer
tilizer may be present, the clements
OF the soil themselves are converted
into plant food, and of a quality bet
ter suited for appropriation than can
be effected in any other manner. 1t
is this fact, also, which prompts our
farmers to prefer barn-yard manure
to commercial fertilizers, for it not
only adds to the soil its own richness.
but, during the process of decompo-
Sition, when placed on the soil causes
humus to form quickly; while ferti-
HERS must first act and react chemi-
cally Oh the minerals of the soil tc do
the same thing, Every advantage of
giving shade or darkness, be it but
little, is in favor of the manure: and
when spread over a large surface this
is no inconsiderable quantity.
Most scientists base their estimates
Of the fertilizing material left by clov-
er on the value of the accumulated
humus in the soil and while we are
not prepared to dispute the claim
that the roots are quite a considera-
bic mass yet the shading Of the soil
by the crop has more to do with the
increased fertility than may be sup
posed. We do not believe we would
be far out of the way to make the
claim that if any farmer will cover a
rod of ground with boards and leave
them there for awhile, on removing
them the soil underneath will be
found quite fertile, even if previous
ly barren. This at once gives an in
sight into the problem of how clover
renovates soils, and few expert
ments by some Of our friends, by way
OF testing the matter, will be found
not only interesting, but valuable.

allow the seed to partly ripen before

IRONING.

How This Dimcult Housework Can BE
Done Nicely.
As in washing. everything should be
ready and in proper order before the
days work is begun. The irons should be
scrupulously clean and smooth; this can
be done by rubbing them with beeswax
and salt or powdered bath brick. TIE
heaviest irons accomplish the best work,
and should be used with roll Ing mo-
ton and strong pressure. Muslins and
prints do not require very hot irons. but
stiff white garments need hotter ones.
The ironing table and board should be
firm and strong and covered with .
coarse wooden blanket, over which a
clean coarse sheet should be pinned. A
bosom board about eight inches wide,
and q long board for skirts and dresses.
are q necessity to the laundry. Iron
holders should be padded to protect the
hand from burning. Collars. cuffs and
similar articles should be covered with
. clean, thin cloth. and the iron passed
over it several times, when it may be
removed and the iron passed directly
over the article. Fine, soft laces and
muslins that do not require polishing
should be carefully unrolled. one at q
time, and spread on a soft blanket, COW
cred with thin. soft sheet. Laces, en-
broideries and trimmings must be care
fully pulled into shape. with all the
edges and purling picked out; those
needing ironing carefully smoothed.
and those that do not. folded. Always
iron by the thread of the material. EN-
broidery should be ironed on the wrong
side of soft blanket.
In ironing shirts use heavy irons well
heated. First iron the thick bands,
then the bodies and sleeves. and last
the bosom, which should be rubbed
over with clean cloth wrung out of
warm water. Then the iron should be
passed over rapidly, then rubbed again
with . damp cloth and ironed until it
is polished. To gloss the linen a
polishing iron with smooth. round edge
should be used with all possible force.
The thickest parts of dresses. such as the
Wristbands. the gathers and sleeves.
should be ironed first. Dresses should
always be ironed on the wrong side
first and finished on the right. Fine
look much better if they are
ironed twice in opposite directions.
Caps. fchus and aprons. where the lace
is full, should have the frill ironed first.
In plating frills. each plait should be
laid by the thread, and held until
ironed in place.
While ironing 10 difficult work to &C
complish nicely, any housekeeper who
will take the trouble to give personal
supervision to the work will soon teach
even an Indifferent servant to do it
properly. A willing hand. guided by q
kind and intelligent instructor. will
soon overcome all obstacles and make
the work easy.-.Mrs. Eliza r. Parker.

A QUEER TRADE.

the season was very dry one. The sum-

which was the name of my turtle, and he
was little fellow-wocldn't weigh over
eight pounds-had a bad time of it. The
fleas stung him so badly that he was in a
fever most all the time. One day was
walking down by the pond when l noticed
him and a big turtle talking very earnestly
together. stepped behind q tree so that
they couldn't see me, and watched the fun.
Judas was trying to get the land turtle to
trade shells with him. They argued long
time, and was afraid Judas wasn't going
to make il Presently bright idea
seemed to strike him. He whispered to old

Judas went into the pond. When he came
