From the Lancaster Examiner.
The crawling, sneaking snakes and not the

Let us examine this little grain of
wheat whose family is so able and
willing if only permitted, to serve
the physical needs Of humanity, but
whose chance of so doing is reduced
to far less than one-half by the pro-
cess of enasculatiOn at the mill and
adulteration at the bakery The
half that has been wasted at the
mill is the most healthful portion
Of this best Of foods, especially for
children and young people under
twenty years.
Wheat meal contains everything
that can be required for nourishing
purposes. The white loaf of common
use is, as we have shown, only half
loaf, inasmuch as large portion
Of the material that forms muscular
flesh and nearly all that forms bone,
has been taken from it. Children
fed on white bread are very liable
to suffer from rickety bones, con-
sumption and bad teeth, because
their food does not nourish them
properly.
To make simple statement of
fact: twenty cents worth Of genu-
inc wheat-meal bread contains three
times . the flesh forming, seventy
times the heat-produced and three
times the bone forming material to
be found in twenty cents worth Of
beefsteak. Analysis Of these two
factors, and the comparison of races
or families that eat true wheat
whether cooked or whole, or in the
form of meal-with those who eat
white bread, at once settle the ques-
ton. ....
It has been stated that if moth
ers were to cook whole or cracked
wheat Containing the full structure
Of the skeletoD for their families,
all the deformities we now see in
children, where not caused by acci-
dent, would disappear in two or
three generations as by the hand of an
invisible enchantress.-NeW York

BOTS.

1t is strange that with the cheap
price of literature relating to lives
and habits Of insects, animals, etc,
the old falfacy of bots causing the
death Of horses has not long ago
passed away.
The bot fly, or gad-f1y, is Of a bee
like color; is seen during the middle
and latter parts Iof summer flying
about horses jaws, legs, etc, causing
great uneasiness to the animal 1t
leaves behind it 81 rhaIl, yellow specks,
so firmly attached to the hairs that
no ordinary friction will remove
them. These specks are the eggs,
and the femy1e: when depositiny
them, selects those parts within
easy reaehof the horses tongue, as
the fore limbs, ETC., or such parts
that the young, when hatched, will
fall directly into the animals food,
as the cheeks, lower jaws, etc. With
the food they are conveyed into the
stomach; there they attach them
se'ves in clusters to the clrdiac, or
insensible part (rarely to the true
digestive part, become covered with
an impenetrable skin, bury their
mouths or suckers deeply into the
wall of the stomach, and remain
there feeding upon it's secretions
for about eight months, until the
larva stage is complete, when they
disengage themselves and are ex-
PEELED with the dung. The larva
now seeks shelter in the ground,
contracts in size, becomes chrys-
alis, or grub, in which state it
remains a few weeks, then bursts
from it's confinement to assume the
form of the fly.
During about eight months of the
year bots are found in the stomachs
of all country horses; but the COM
mon idea that the horse could not
live without them is contradicted by
the fact that horses not exposed to
the gad-fy never contain a bot, and
such animals can be found by thous-
ands in our large cities, yet they
enjoy the best of health; they can
not cause pain; they are not neces-
sary to health; they cannot be
removed by medicine; and lastly,
they voluntarily detach themselves

DON'T MIX THEM.

With all the emphasis that double
leaded-type can express, we enjoin
our tobacco farming and prizing
friends South and West to refrain
from mixing the frosted with the
sound tobacco harvested this year
This appeal has already gone out in
letter and print to some of those
sought to be influenced by it, but it
is our duty to see that it is brought
to the attention Of every grower and
prizer in the country, and we hereby
perform that duty. The markets of
the world are full of poor tobacco,
and the good tobacco in stock is
very limited. The growth Of the
past year has been large and what
has been frostbitten can we'll be
spared. 1t will not do to put the
frosted tobacco along with that
which is good for the bi-fold reason
that it will depress the already low
prices still further, and factors, large
buyers and jobbers will not touch a
hogshead Of the 1886 yield if a sim
gle hand of the frosted tot acco is in
it. These parties have agreed to
this and contemplate issuing cir
cular expressive of their sentiments
on this subject.
Frozen tobacco has been found
servicable in time past, but frosted
tobacco never. 1t is utterly unfit
for use, and when brought into the
barns and hung along with sound
leaf may cause fire-burn throughout
the entire mass.
If the frosted tobacco is to be gar
nered and priced at all, let it be
cured and priced by itself. There
must be DO taint on the crop of 1886
if it be desired to realize a cent of
profit from it or the old stocks still
on hand.-Ne,0 York Tobacco Leaf.

CULTIVATING WHEAT.

A correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer gives the result of expert
ments in a plat Of wheat-two-tifths
of an acre, sowed as usual but the
space between the rows sixteen
inches apart, which will be interest
ing as to the essential points which
are as follows:
The soil was high sand prairie,
facing to the northwest. The win
ter winds nearly blew it all out of
the ground, and when spring opened
it was in sorry plight. When the
blades were about four inches long
it was cultivated with a hoe, then
again when about knee high. 1t
was harvested with a cradle and
made twenty-five shocks Of a dozen
bundles each. Before it was threshed
the English sparrow took the cap
sheaves entire. The wheat was
weighed and after adding for cap
sheaves there were ten bushels.
This is at the rate of twenty five
bushels per acre Not a very large
yield, says the cultivator, but almost
unprecedented for the quality of the
soil There were no fertilizers used.
A heavy crop of potatoes was taken
from the plat just before the wheat
was sown. The product was thought
to have been doubled by the cultiva-
ton, the saving in the seed much
more than paying for the cultivation.
A horse can walk in space of six
teen inches and bull tongue will
give much better cultivation than
the hoe, which was the writer's
shift for the small area experimental
on.-Fdrm, Field and StOckman.

will do we'll not to doctor for bets,
but study we'll the symptoms shown
and ascel tain the real disease affect

But how does this agree with the

bots, and the animal drenched with
one pet medicine after another until
it has died, or got well in spite Of
the vile compounds? And this is
done just as often during the season
when not bot can be found in the
horse as at any other time. Now,
if bots did trouble horses, what
would be the prospect of removing
them, when they will live for some
time in spirits Of turpentine, and
even nitric acid does not immedi-
ately kill them? So it will be readily
seen that the numberless potions
and drenches given for their destruc-
ton are entirely useless, and every
farmers experience must have con
vinced him that bots are the scape-
goat OF numerous and pretended
horse doctors. An intelligent owner
will not allow medicines to be
blindly poured down his animals for
an ma:sinary disease. He will rather
trust to nature" ". II. g." IN

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

The State of Wisconsin, has organ
lied Farmers Institutes as one of
the methods of disseminating infor-
nation in reference to the farm
among the farmers' of the State
These Institutes are held at places
and at times where and when they
can be attended with least inconve-
nience by the farmers. They are
held in the Winter mo4ths and in as
many counties as cam be convent
emily reached. The coming winter
fifty-two will be held, so appointed
as to reach all portions Of the State
and give all farmers who desire an
opportunity to attend them. The
Institutes are held under the auspices
of the Board of Regents of the State
University, which employs men Of
reputation and recognized authori-
ties on agricultural subjects to
deliver lectures and addresses on
subjects relating to the farm, meth
ods of cultivating the different crops
raised in that State, stock, stock
management, &C., thus educating
the farmer who is desirous Of learn
ing more than he already knows.
They are farmers schools organized
for the benefit of the 100000 people
who live on the 100000 farms of
that State and are, in the language
of Mr.. w. H. Morrison. the Super
intendent, ''schools Of practical in
formation to enable farmers to pro-
duce more and better stock, larger
crops, and to develop the great pro-
ductive industries of the State"
What the promoters of these insti-
tutes are endeavoring to accomplish
in Wisconsin through them The
PROGRESSIVE FARMER is endeavoring
to accomplish for the farmers Of
North Carolina, through the instru-
mentality of Farmers Clubs. The
result SO far is gratifying though the
work is scarcely begun. The clubs
are increasing every week and we
see abundant evidence to show that
North Carolina and the farmers of
North Carolina are being benefited
by them.

COOPERATIVE FARMING IN
ENGLAND.

A successful attempt at co-opera-
tion in farming is reported in Eng
land. A company Of city working
men, tradesmen and mechanics in
London, who were out of employ
ment, united in an association which
rented rundown farm of 1874 acres
near London. They paid a compar-
atively high rental for such land,
thirty-fve shillings per acre, but
put 50 much labor on it that the
enterprise was success. The land
was enriched and devoted largely
to market gardening and dairying,
the latter increasing as the associa-
ton secured capital to purchase
cows. Formerly only four men
were employed on the farm. Now
it gives employment to forty, with
proportionate increase of the prof
it's.
The colored people in this county
are trying to get up an agricultural
fair to be given sometime next
month. Elizabeth City Falcon.

eonsprators enough were these poor,

weeks earnings did not equal
the days wages of q skilled workman
IN America. They were simply calling
to their lords and masters for bread
and they got a stone. The agitation
