HARVESTING WHEAT.

Although it is pretty well understood
among farmers that wheat sheuld be cat

reaIils the extent Of the advantages to be
gained by early outing as regards tho
quantity and quality both of grain and Of
straw. II ia the opiaion among milleFs
that Goay made from eaFly-cut wheaS is
much superior TO that made from wheat
allowed to become fully rips before cut
ting. Why GO? Simply because when
cut il it's dough state, j. g" When the
grain can be mashed between the hngsre
and thumb, t0e berry contains the largest
proportion Of starch and gluten-the two
substances which principally composo lt
whilst the bran is :ben thinnest. But if
left uncut until past that stage, the ne2t
step Of nature is to cover the berry with
thicker pr0teosiOn--s thicker sLin-~loav-
ing this as her laat wSrk Ia peTfectiRg tho
grain. It is just st the stage when o
portion OF tka 3sarob becomes changed
into this thicker skia--the bYeaS-and II
is clear thes when the quantity Of starch
becomes leasened the weight Of the grain
must be pYopogsi01Gtely diminished.
Whsat intended for seed should DO allow
ed to stand nntil DRtare has perfected 1t.
But the advantages Of early cutting are
net conbnod to the grain alone. Tbs
straw Of wheat cut before ii hos fully ma
tured is heavier. brighter in color, and
contains mofe nutritiYa matter, rad when
intended as winter food for cattle il is,
when properly cared fer, almost equal to
ordinary hay
Another advantage of early cutting is
shat it opens up sooner to the in1uaReea
of the gun and atmosphere the young
eIaver or other grsgs, which aeeas SO
much their strengthening effect TO enable
ii ths better to establish itself before the
severe weather Of wiRtsr GENES on.
In cutting wheat, howeYoY, disorimin,
stiag Judgment is more necessary, per-
haps, than in any other operation On tie
farm; for while it i3 true that wheat, if
allowed 30 stand until perfectly ripe, will
ret onIy lose mgCh in the weight md
quality both Of che grain and straw, and
sustain oonaldoTabla additional loss from
shstteriDg in cutting, handling, etc, yet
cutting ii in 500 greenla state will cause
both grain and straw to become so muSly
thst the injury will bo equally a8 greSt, if
not greater. THERE'S 6 madium, however,
between the too green Gnd too rips Condi.
sion which Will avoid either extreme.
Ia view Of the absve faot, therefore,
the farmer shoald be on The elert when
tho time comes, and see thas his reaper
and every harvest implement is IL tirst-
rate ogdar and ready to be put TO use the
moment his wheat has reached the prop
er stage for cutting, and thea to sweep
down with all dispatch, shook up and cap
well, and in eight or ten daya haul to his
barn, OF, as the case may he, stack out

DRUNK ON HIS WEDDING DAY.
How an Expectant Bridegroom was Led
Astray in Wicked Trenton.

How Expectant Bridegroom was Led
Astray In Wicked Trenton.
The happiest man in all Hunterdon
county was Mr. Peter Dansbury, when he
bounded out of bed Saturday morning
and donned his new suit of store clothes.
And Peter had right to be happy be-
Cause 1t was his wedding day The girl
of his heart resided near Trenton juno
tion, and even then doubtless was i'm
patiently awaiting his arrival. He lost
no time in adjusting his white necktie
and Fastening to the depot where he was
to take train for Trenton. The train
hour Peter was in this city. His mission
was to secure clergy man for the cere-
mony, which was to take place at the
residence of the BRIDES parents at p. NJ.
A well-known Trenton minister gladly
consented to tie the nuptial knot, and
Peter then started to a livery stable for a
carriage in which he and the dominic
might drive out to the junction. The
bridegroom's heart was SO full of joy that
he could not resist the temptation TO stop
in Warren street saloon on the way and
drink his BRIDES health. The liquor was
good, and he accordingly remained inside
long enough to drink his own health also,
and the health of his friends and relatives.
What became of him afterward is un-
known, till Officer Murray found him in
the Seventh Ward about 8 o'clock. Peter
was then "whoopin' her up all along the
thoroughfare. Being too drunk to nayi-
gate, he was taken to the lookup.
Peter woke up partially sobered before
6 o'clock, and asked the time of day.
When told, his eyes filed with tears and
he began to blubber like school-boy.
"Please let me OUT he pleaded II
was to be married at O'Clock, and what
will my girl say to me now" ,re.s
The officers expressed great sympathy
for Peter, but could not release him till
directed by the police justice. Justice
Rogers held court at Z P. M. When the
bridegroom was brought out his eyes were
still dimmed with tears. He eyed his
spoiled new suit ruefully, and then told
his sad experience. The justice was melt
ed with mercy and let him go in peace.
Another surprise awaited Peter outside,
where young girl threw her arms around
his neck and embraced him. 1t was his
bride, who had been telegraphed to con-
corning Peters misfortune and who
plucki,y came to the city in his interest.
She forgave him his fault, and the two
went off apparently happy to complete
the wedding which the days spree had so
rudely interrupted. d. Trenton True Amer

Saturday, October 31st, will be gala
day in this city, as everybody, or nearly
everybody, will turn out to see Frank A.
Robbins circus. There will be no feature
Of the ever-popular canvas show missing,
while there are many new items of at
traction, both in the menagerie and circus
ring. Two performances will be given,
afternoon and evening. A good idea of
the excellence of the show may be had
from the following extract, from recent
issue of the Telegram, of Toronto, at
which city the establishment showed to
immense audiences two weeks ago. The
Telegram says: "The Frank A. Robbins
Circus aud Menagerie arrived in this city
this morning, and gave handsome street
parade at ten o clock. The streets we're
filled with people and compliments were
freely bestowed upon the magnificent
pageant. This afternoon the large tents
are crowded, and the performances in the
ring are pronounced the most artistic aud
wonderful ever given in this city. Chas.
w. Fish astonished all by his wonderful
and daring feats on his flying steed. Mr..
Fish is the most graceful rider we have
ever seen, and is we'll entitled to his title
of Champion of the World The other
features of the circus, which are too nu-
merous to mention, revealed artistic ex-
cellence in every department. The old
time favorite, Colonel John Foster, the
prince of clowns, kept his auditors in
roars of laughter as his fresh jokes and
witty sayings were unfolded. The per-
Torrance of the clown elephant, the only
one on exhibition, we believe, was the
funniest thing we ever saw in circus.
He seemed to enter into the spirit of the
fun as we'll as the audience. In the men,
agerie department there is rare collec-
ton of wild beasts, all clean and healthy,
including herd of ten trained elephants.
Taken in all Frank A. Robbins show de-
serves the favor and support of the
public"
This establishment will exhibit at Lam.
bertyille, on Saturday, October 31st.

The Democratic politicians of Sussex
County are having lively time over the
Newton Post office. Senator Mcpherson
who is said to regard the appointment as
part of his personal dover, is anxious
that it shall be bestowed upon Editor
Bunnell of the Newton Herald. Con-
gresham Pidcock and Mr.. Bunnell have
not always in the past borne to each
other the relations of political Damon
and Pythias, but Congressman Pidcock
has great consideration for the feelings Of
Senator Mcpherson, and although be is
os.ensibly backing popular storekeeper
named Williams, the candidate of the To-
cal leaders, be is not doing anything to
worry or embarrass the able Senator.
Seventeen hundred dollar Federal Offices
do not grow on bushes in Sussex County,
and it is natural that the local politicians
there should be disquieted. Unless they
can manage to show that 1t will be more
profitable for Senator Mcpherson to sup
port their man than to aid Senator Nc
Pherson's man, they will probably have
to see the editor of the Herald in the post
office that they wanted bestowed upon an
other man. --Newark Eoening Meas.

RING THE CHANGES, IN THE CAUSE
OF HUMANITY AND PEACE

Mr.. EDITOR: s'Kronx," in your last
weeks RECORD, gave us something TO
think about. Some of us, indeed, had al
ready been thinking and feeling good
dea i about the matters whereof he wrote.
For we have fathers and brothers. We
are obliged to pass by those dreadful cor.
ners. Our way lies through WREcKER's
ALLEY; and WoMAN's Woe is familiar to
our ears and eyes.
We echo the appeal for a change: we
renew the call: we emphasize the demand
Let us have a change: we must, and will.
These things are not always to continue.
Mothers tears, chilGren's neglect, the
perils of our young men, the down-hill
progress of our fathers aud friends must
have some relief, some check.
The men of character, who have homes
to guard, and property to protect, should
insist on the strict observance of the law,
and should hold the councils to account for
their action in multiplying the drinking
saloons beyond all reason and decency
They should exercise their manhood, and
assert their rights-the right to have quiet
nights and orderly streets, and safety
from glaring temptations to vice; the
right to say that their boys shall not be
so ensnared; the right to have it deter
mined by other than liquor sellers and
sots whether or not our city shall be ours.
ed by the increase or continuance of the
liquor stands; the right to demand of
every candidate for city office, that he
will, if elected, refuse license to every
saloon and grogshop; the right to call
each Office holder before the bar of public
opinion, and commend him "faithful SER
want" or brand him according as be has
defended or surrended the peace and pros
perity of the city.
The words and deeds of the men must
be in unison with the wishes and prayers
of tho women, in this regard And to
bring that about, it is the men who must
charge:-the women cannot. Their hearts
and lives, happily, are set to higher
key; and the men must tone app

An Arrest and Escape.
Thomas Lukens, alias Pepper" no.
ted burglar, was arrested at Catasauqua,
Pa, last Monday. The Belvidere and
Easton detectives, as well as officers from
this county, had been looking for Lukens
for some time. He was wanted in this
county for robbing the store of Funk &
Sherrer, in Bloomsbury, few months
ago. At least four Warren county rob-
berries are charged to him, and we under
stand that after his arrest he confessed to
them all and implicated others. He was
brought to our Pennington Jail last Tues
day.
Shortly after night q rope was found
hanging over the Jail wall. 1t was at once
conjectured that prisoner had escaped.
The Sheriff was notified, and count of
noses revealed the fact that Lukens was
missing. How he procured the rope and
how be fastened 1t SO that he could scale
the wall nobody knows. 1t is conjectured
that an accomplish threw it over the wall
and held it while he climbed up. Once
on top of the wall all he had to do was to
loop the rope over convenient iron bolt
near the the top, and slide down and run.
The Sheriff offers reward of $50. 90 for
his recapture. Democrat.
