and move wheat down when they go up.
The most remarkable feature about them
is that they have gone up and down
With q sort of regular irregularity.
For a fortnight they have opened very low

finally have closed steady and composed.
Perhaps more remarkable than anYhing
else, however, has been this other fact that
certain Chicago and New York traders

Just what consols were doing, if they have
not, as is claimed in some quarters, known

Even in close plantations trees should never
be allowed TO Overhang or whip each other.
Firs and pines may stand much thicker than
deciduous trees, and during the earlier years
of their growth they require much less thin

intervals of from twenty-five to thirty feet at
the age of forty years, resinOus kinds may
stand at little more than half that distance,
say from fifteen or eighteen feet. In order
to obtain solid timber no branches should be
allowed to die back close to the bole. The
process of natural pruning, by which the
upper branches gradually destroy the lower
ones by excluding sunlight and air,
may conduee to the production of the great
est amount of rough timber and fuel but the
largest yield of lengthy clean, straight

tanned by timely and continued attention on
the part of the forester. Great care is nee
essary in the thinning and pruning of belts

stems fails TO produce the screen or shelter
which was the object of the planter. Here

necessary even to pollard few trees upon
the margins in order to obtain the required

consistent with comfort, with a view TO get
ting the milk before the Letting down"
ceases. Milking,rapidly does not mean jerk
ing sharply or moving with hasty or irregular
motions in the presence,of the cow. Such
a course would counteract the very thing
aimed at The motions of the mixer should
not be such as to attract her suspicious.
They should be deliberate and cool, but
when set down to the milking nothing
should be allowed TO interrupt or retard the
work. This will induce continual letting
down." by giving continual relief to the ud-
der. The mixer should bear constantly in
mind that the letting down" is short. and
that every movement should be availed
of to the best advantage When the milk
ceases to flow the milking should stop at
once, whether it is all out or not. There is
no use in hanging on after the milk stops
coming, as it only cultivates and confirms
the habit of ''hoIding back" To give a COW
the least possible occasion for holding back
her milk is the best way to prevent her from
forming such a habit, and the surest and
readiest way TO make her forget it after it
has been formed. To break up the objec-
tionable habit, let the milking be quick,
easy and regular.

The Omen Air silo.

NJ. Houles, OF France, the discovercr of the
plan of preserving green forage i'm the open
air, continues 10 record his uniform success.
The whole secret of his open air silo consists
in uniform and uninterrupted pressure, 80
as to secure the expulsion OF the air, and
thus prevent the decomposition of the mass.
The soiling ought to be carted to the place
for stacking as soon after being cut as posi-
bic. There is no necessity to wait for its be-
ing dried; humidity is not at all an obstacle;
nor is rain, save when il intsrferes seriously
with work. Spread the forage uniformly,
keep the stack from leaning pile up slowly,
80 as to allow the mass 10 settle down little
and the fermentation commence thus secur-
ing tenderness in the forage. Select planks
sixteen inches wide and one inch thick; al
low them to project a few inches over the
side OF the stack. Cover the planks with
earth. firewOod, stones. etc, at the rate of
twenty-three quarts per square yard. To
open the stack for use, it could be construct
ed on the principle OF a series of parallel
walls, and so obviate all difficulty. The
drawback of the open air silo lies in not be-
ing able to count upon keeping the erection
Of the stack perpendicular.

During an illness of Mrs. Spurgeon, before
Mr.. Spurgeon left her room for the journey
he was contemplating, she remarked that she
hoped he would not be annoyed with her for
telling him what had been passing through

that he would not try to procure the objects
for which she had been longing. She then

that they had one, but that its music was
trying on the invalid, and they would gladly
part with it to one who would give it the
requisite care. He then made his call at the
Tabernacle, and after reading vOluminous
correspondence came at last to a letter and q
parcel underlying the other letters. The let
ter was from lady unknown to him, who
had received benefit from his services in the
Tabernacle, and as slight token of
her appreciation of these services asked
his acceptance of the inclosed ONYX ring,
necklace and bracelets, for which she had no
further use. This intensified his surprise,
and he hastened home with what had been
so strangely sent, went up into his wife s
sick-room and placed the objects she had
longed for before her. She met him with a
look Of panied reproach, as if he had allowed
his regard to override his promise, but when
he detailed the true circumstances OF the case
she was fl!ed with surprise, and asked Mr..
Spurgeon what he thought of it. His reply
was characteristic: 81 think you are one of

Overcoming Difticulties in Milking.

a COW carries her milk from one meal of

Best Season for Growing Wool.

The best time for woolgrowing, says the
Breeders Gazette, is the fall season. This
for several reasons. The ewes are for while
relieved from the physical hardships and
annOyances inseparable from maternity. The
crowding and worry of shearing and brand
ing is over. The young ones have been
weaned, and have learned the lesson of car
ing for themselves. The heat and insect an
nOyance of summer are past Added 10 all
these favorable conditions is the natural in
covering preparatory to encountering the
low temperature OF the winter season. The
wool-grower who fails TO supplement such
conditions a. these with every facility for
improvement within his reach has studied
his business to little purpose. Flesh and
tieece-the two main items of flock profit
can now be laid on with facility and econ
omy which will largely compensate for the
heavier expense and tardy improvement
following the best of winter management.
A bushel of grain and an hours time in
properly distributing it in September will
bring more return than can be had later on
from doubling of both. Let the too often
heard remark OF the discouraged sheep man,
Anything is good enough for sheep" be
paraphrased into ''Sheep are good enough
for anything" within the reach of their own
er, and less will be heard another year about
abandoning sheep husbandry in the United
States, and most OF those now in the busi-
ness Will be content to stay where they are
rather than sacrifice what they now have to
get into some other business, which, i'll It's

When apple and other fruit trees lose their
vigOr from age or from neglect or want of
fertilizing, there are different modes for re-
storing them to vigor, which may be used to
the best advantage during autumn. One of
the easiest of application is TO spread a coat
of barn manure broadcast for twenty-five or
thirty feet distance from the trunk OF the
tree ON c; ch side This treatment will fire.
quently be sufficient of itself, in addition to
pruning out any dead branches, or thinning
in the head from the outside, or both. Cul-
tivating the surface while the tree Is dor
mant is an additional aid For smaller
trees which are required to stand in grass,
or where they can not be cultivated,
strong impetus may be given by cut
ting radiating trenches from within
few feet of the tree a rod or so
in length on all sides, and filling these with
compost. The large roots which lie on each
side of these trenches, will send their side
roots into the compost and the trees will be
pushed rapidly in growth. The trenches
may be from one TO two feet in depth, and
the width that of the blade OF the spade. An
other mode, instead OF cutting these radiat-
ing trenches, is to cut a circular ditch around
the tree at some distance from the trunk and
TO fill this with compost. The severed roots
will soon send new iibres into the compost,
while the pruning which the roots receive
will promote fruitfnlness. Some Judgment
must he used TO cut the ditch at the right dis
tance; if too near ii will temporarily check
the growth too severely, before the new roots
are formed; and if too far away the labor will
be too great, and the result less striking. In
most cases, however, and with orchards of
some size, cultivating and top dressing will
be sufficient. All cutting OF the roots or
branches must be done while the trees are
