Large Wheat for Seed.

Some experiments made in England
appear to show the advantage gained
by the use of the larger grains of wheat
for seed. Seed wheat fully matured
was selected out of one bin, and by
sitting two lots Of seed were taken,
one extremely large, the other small.
The large weighed $50 pounds per
bushel, the small only 40 5 pounds, diff
ference Of more than 30 per cent. Each
lot of seed was divided into four separ-
ate parcels and four separate sowings
were made. The land was good wheat
land, but not specially MANFRED. The
large seed sprouted the quickest, made
the best growth, was taller. and on the
average made ten bushels per acre
more than the small seed. The advan-
tages from the large seed were as fol
lows: Greater rapidity Of growth and
development Of crop early in the season,
greater yield of grain and Of straw,
better weight and better quality Of
grain for milling. A sieve that will
allow the smaller kernels to 90 through
along with the seeds Of weeds will very
speedily pay for the time and labor re-
quired to separate and save the large
grain for seeding purposes

AMONG THE POULTRY.

KEEP enough fowls to buy the gro
ceries.
CORN and corn meal are the best fat
tening foods.
A GOOD hen will lay twice her weight
in eggs in year.
WHEN grain is fed throw on litter
and partly cover it up.
On the farm, at least, the medium
sized breeds are the best
ONE fowl with scurvy legs is apt to
irspart the disease to others
A COOKED mixture of the table scraps
makes good morning ration.
CLOSE to large cities broilers bring in
more money than anything else.
Ducks and geese are the best fowls
TO raise on wet, low-lying lands.
BARLEY and wheat fed alterr ately
make good egg producing ration.
WHEN the hens lay soft-shelled eggs
they either need lime or they are too
fat
A SUDDEN change from one kind of
grain to another will often stop hens
from laying.
GEESE are not only valuable as meat
producers but should annually produce
a pound of feathers each.
ONE advantage with ducks is that
they are less liable to disease than al
most any other kind of poultry.
POULTRY manure is the richest that
can be secured on the farm and it
should be carefully stored away.
CLEAN hay or straw makes a good
covering for the floor in winter and
will add materially to the comfort Of
the FOWLS St Louis Republic.

A Farmer Released
FROM ENTIRE Loss or VOICE.
CATARRHAL APHONIA THE RESULT OF
CHRONIC cATARRH.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

SHELLsBURG, BEDFORD Co, Pa.
The Peruna Medicine Col was a
sufferer from Catarrh in my head and
throat doctored with one # the best
physicians in our place for that terrible
disease and found no relief. But in
1888 lost my speech, and was not able
to do any kind of work for nearly three
months. | could neither eat nor sleep.
Pe-ru-na did wonders for me, and now |
am in better health than have been in
ten years
Yours truly, ISAAC NIcoDEMus,
Loss of voice in eases of eatarrh is
due to an extension of the disease t. the
larynx. In the progress of catarrh on
its way from the throat to the lungs the
first prominent symptom is hoarseness,
which shows that the disease has reached
the larynx and vocal chords.
Symptoms of catarrh Of the respira-
tory tract differ according to the part
affected. If the eatarh is confined to
the nose the symptoms will be sneezing
and mucous discharges. or the formation
OF dry scabs corresponding to the stage
of the disease, When in the pharynx it
causes hawking, enlarged follicles and
tonsils, and sometimes deafness; in the
larynx it produces hoarseness, and often
entire loss of voice, as in the above case
As soon as the catarrh reaches the
trachea and bronchial tubes, cough, with
abundant mucous expectoration, ensues.
Upon reaching the lungs catarrh speed
lily causes consumption, and all of the
symptoms of that dread disease follow
sooner or later Catarrh also attacks
the urinary tract, producing in the kid
neys "Brght's disease" in the bladder
chronic cystitis, and in the urethra
small, frequent and painful urinary pas
sages. Pe-ru-na is specific for catarrh
wherever located and in all stages.

HE BEAT THE BULLET.

A Maine Mans Remarkable Race With a
Confederate 1T Gettysburg.
1t was in a well-lnown hotel in Ban
gor. A party of gel tlemen were con-
versing on one sui. ect and another.
During lull in the conversation one
gentleman noticed a car on the hand
of another, and interro ated him as to
the cause. The other answered that
he received it in a very curious way,
and told the following story in regard
to it:
/ got that wound in the battle of Get
tysburg. l had been fighting all day
and felt very tired, and so sat down on
a rock and shot from there.
was just loading up my gun when a
long, lean, lank fellow darted by me,
making for the woods like a streak of
CREASED lightning l up with my gun
and let drive at him, but he didn't
drop, and, as l had shot just nine
hundred and ninety-nine and didn't
want to lose the thousandth l started
after him.
never saw man run so fast in all
my adventurous life, and l could see
that l was gaining upon him, but every
once in while ! lost sight of him be-
hind tree or rock.
l noticed a luu in the fight, and
glancing aside saw that both armies
had stopped fighting, and were strain
ing their eyes to see the race.
That raised my courage, and l forgot
all about being tired. just then made
a squirt of speed, and as did so felt
something strike my hand, which
spread out like the fan of windmill.
Well to make a long story short,
caught up with him and was about to
collar him when he turned about and
tried to stab me. I lodged his blow,
and just then something hit him and he
fell over dead l sat down beside him
to rest, and as / did so noticed blood
trickling down my hand On closer in
vestigation / found that there was a
bullet hole in my palm.
The dead man had bullet in his
breast, and l am positive in my belief
that both wounds were made by the
same bullet, and that it was the same
bullet that had fired at the confeder-
ate.
The race was so hot that | caught up
with and passed it at some time during
my chase. That is why now wear

GREENHOUSE BENCHES.
Two Kinds Each of Which Is Substantial
and Easily Made.

Two hlndS Each OF winch Is substantial
and Easily Made.
We present herewith engravings of
two methods of constructing substan-
tial greenhouse benches. The first
shows the style of bench used in a
new range of houses at Richmond, Ind.
The rails used were light T rails such
as are used on some street car lines.
The rails were used on some line that
had cause to change to another style of
rail, and were purchased at a low price;
they answered the purpose just as well
as new rails. As shown in the illus
tration, the cross pieces are of the same
sized rail only placed right side up,
post and mortised into the other cedar
post at the back. The three rails that
run lengthwise are placed bottom side
up, SO as to allow broad, flat surface
for the Stats or other bottom material
to rest on. The rails are held in
proper position by pieces of board cut
so as to fit in the spaces between them.
But it is necessary to hold them in
place only long enough to get the states
or other bottom material in position.
The cedar posts are sunk IS inches
in the ground and are placed feet
apart, but they might just as we'll be
13 feet apart as s. The side board is
held in position by galvanized iron
strips which pass through two Sits in
the board and clasp around the outside
rail. These are placed feet apart.
This is the weakest point about this style

Hint to Chaesn-Maknra.

During the fall months try the plan
of diluting the rennet before adding to
the milk. The usual plan is to take a
certain amount of rennet from the
crock, full strength, and incorporate
with the milk Try taking the usual
amount of rennet and adding to it
twice its bulk of warm water, and then
mix with the milk rapidly and thor
oughly, and see if better curd by this
diluted-rennet plan does not follow.
When the curd is in the drainer, stir It
more thoroughly and get it finer and do
not let it rest until you get the we'll
known squeak" of the curd. Do not
salt the curd until it is cooled and mel
lowed, with a buttery texture. All
these things go to make up good
cheese, and good cheese is what the
market is most in need Of; cheese that
we can send to Europe, or our new
South American markets if need be,
and in a pinch, so good that they can
and will be eaten at home.-Practical

of bench. The rest is as solid as a rock,
and the benches will be just as solid 25
years hence as at present The rails
cost III cents a foot and while the
first cost is very considerable, even
after having been in use for many
years, a good share of the amount can
be gotten out of them by disposing of
them for the price of old iron. For the
center benches the same system is fol-
lowed, the rails being placed at a
proper distance apart to suit the size
of the slate, etc, used. The second
illustration shows the style of bench in
some of the houses at Minneapolis,
Mimi. Two pieces of large angle-iron,
about 3x3 inches, run lengthwise Of
the house on brick piers set down about
feet apart, and for the bottom sort
boards are placed crosswise. The illus
tration makes the matter quite plain

FINE CREAM CHEESE.
A Delicacy Which Any Intelligent Woman
Can Make.


The finest kind of table luxury and
one that dairymen can make more
money on, ready money at any season
of the year is sweet cream cheese,
made in the following manner: Let
the milk be set four inches deep in
shallow open pans. When the cream
is about one-half on the surface the
pans should be set on the stove until
the cream "crinkles" Tho stove must
not be too hot nor S,4e process too
rapid. Thick, tough sheets Of cream
are the requisite. Setting the pans u
milk away again TO cool viii make
fine shee.s of the best that can be
rolled off entire. Such cream must be
placed in tin molds without bottoms
and standing on folded cloth TO absorb
the moisture. Some prefer to place a
thin straw mat between the cream and
cloth. After ~ hours the molds may be
turned over and IL hours later the
cream viii stand without support and
be ready to sell or use. Only the small
est possible amount Of salt is applied
to the cheese ends as they are invert-
ed A little practice will produce a
fancy product of ready and high sale
and the work is as nothing compared
to the manufacture of cheese or
butter. Desirable sizes are 2x3 inches
and ~ inches thick, and SKA inches of
the same thickness. The latter con-
tains just twice the amount of cheese
than the former does and should sell for
q little less than twice the price. These
delicious little cream cheeses should be
eaten fresh, but, properly handled, will
keep a week. Some advantages Of this
form of dairying are the following:
The dairyman viii soon realize an in
centive to the most careful breeding to
obtain the best stock for cream pro-
duction The cost of the utensils re-
quired for this work is next to nothing

In 1861 it was decided to organize the
clerks of the treasury department at
Washington to defend the building and
its contents against an anticipated at
tack. The following paper was pre-
scented to each employee to sign:
II will defend the treasury under the
orders of the officer in charge of it,
against all its enemies, to the best of
my ability"
The pledge was not received with en-
thusiasm. They all, with one consent,
began to make excuse.
There was an epidemic of heart and
nervous diseases, which were always
brought on by any sudden shock. But
one old southerner put them to shame.
He had been in the Office half a CEN
fury and belonged to an old Carolina
family. His desk was in the basement
of the treasury, where he had charge of
surrendered ships registers. Few of
the other clerks knew him, for scarcely
anyone had occasion to go to his desk.
