Now, the thoughtful farmer who is
getting fifty cents bushe for wheat,
will find food for reflection in the re
salts of this interesting experiment.
IL looks very much as il all the
graugers Of the Northwest had gone
to work to make money b. the most
d fficult roule-by raising wheat
while the grass, which grows itself,
was really the best and most profit
able crop, and most easily converted
into money. If the cash that has gone
into farming Implements and labor in
preparing soil for wheat, had been put
into barns and cattle, Mieuesote and
Dakota would have been richer by far
than they are TO day, and the farmers
would have cared very little whether
wheat was worth fifty cents or one
dollar, or whether the grangers or
railroads and elevators were ION top"
in the Legislature.
One thing has been gained, how
ever, by the cultivation of the land IN
graia crops; 1t is now ready for tame
grasses. Manure it well, seed it down
to clover, timothy, blue grass and al
sike, and you Will have green pastures
when the ground freezes solid in No
vember. With tame grass, Mr..
Powers experiment might have run
from May / TO Nov. on grass alone,
and probably, cattle would have gone
out TO grass one month earlier.

Flannels That Grow smaller.

There IS rhyme going the rounds
of the press about man who bought
a flannel shirt, and after the first
washing it descended to a small boy
to wear and after two or three more
1t could only be donned by the baby.
OF course, it seems an exaggeration,
but every house keeper who has had
experience in this class Of goods,
knows how very trying it is to find
the garments gradually shrinking
until they become quite useless in
many cases where there is no small
boy" or baby 10 bequeath them to.
From long experience / am con-
WINGED that, although there is a great
difference in the quality OF goods,
there is still a greater difference in the
manner Of washing. Those who have
no interest in caring for the shrinkage
of a garment, will hardly give it as
much care as those who have yet up
on this very care depends the success
full washing.
The best way is to cut up whatever
soap is needed, into the water, as it
makes flannel thick to rub the soap on
it, as YOU can easily discover A lit
tie ammonia and boFax makes the dirt
come out quickly and easily. As soon
as the garment is sufficiently rubbed
in the not suds, put 1t ia still hotter

well from both waters, and flap in the
air to shed all the water possible be.

sible; more dependence can be placed
on squeezing through the hands, but
the quicker the operation is performed
the better the result. Red flannel
should always be washed before MAX
ing up. / know it viii fade a little
from the pretty scarlet shade, but
there is poison to some skins III the
red col0ring, and it is safer to wash it
out; besides this, the smell of red
flannel is very disagreeable. and the
least perspiration brings it out. The
wringer is very bad for fine hannels,
as it rolls up the nap and hardens it,
Always choose q fine day for washing
fannels, if you wish TO keep them soft
and clear; for they are often spoiled
by being left in water, or in the basket
till the weather clears up, and then
they become muddy and discolored

Strange Discovery of Forged Bank
Notes.
st James Gazette.

A singular discovery of forged Bank
Of England notes is reported. IL is
stated that on Monday and Tuesday a
woman, accompanied by tradesman
in Lcadenhall Market, went to the
Bank of England and rendered a $500
note to be changed. The note TO all
appearance was genuine, and it was
only by the discovery that there were
no notes of that particular number
issued, for that amount, and the for
gerry was detected. The woman was
the wife of shopkeeper in White
chapel. On being questioned, said
she had received the note from
friend in the country, and the police
recovered from her husband three or
four exactly similar notes, and several
&100 notes. He told them that he had
received the notes from a man ia the
employment of the Metropolitan
Board Of Works. The officers ascer-
tanned that the mans story was cor
rect, and that the person who had
given him the notes was a man en-
ployed on Chaplain Common by the
Metropolitan Board of Works ID keep
the truth of the statement, adding
that ne and two of his companions
discovered at the end Of November or
commencement Of December last
box under furze bush. They opened
the box, and to their amszementf found
it packed with Bank of England notes
to the amount yariousiy stated, OF
from 1000 20 $1,000. The notes
were all for $500 or e100, and bore
various dates and numbers. The men,
to use their own words, imagined
their fortunes made" and that sit
would be quite unnecessary for them
to go to work again" They decided
to divide equally their find, but had
hesitated to attempt to put the notes
into circulation, being apprehensive
that the righful owner might appear.
The police succeeded in obtaining
possession of ali the notes, which, it
is asserted, are the NEST perfect imi-
tation of genuine notes that have yet
come into the hands Of the bank aH-
thorities.
