Pasturing Wheat.

Pasturing wheat is not injurious to the
crop when there Is Q tendency to the
luxurious growth which usually prevails
on rich soils. In such cases grased fields
will be benefited rather than otherwise.
The pasturing, however, should be done
only when the soil Is in q proper condi.
ton to admit Of the tramping Of ami
mails without crushing the plants down
into the muddy earth. In the fall, when
the wheat is growing green and rank, Q
considerable amount Of pasturage may
be realized from it at q time when tn.
COWS are on short rations for green feed
elsewhere. Occasionally through the
winter stock may run on the wheatfield
while the ground is frozen, but when
thawing days succeed cold nights they
should be kept off. By some spring pas
turing Of wheat is considered injurious
By others it is thought not necessarily
so where the growth warrants it and the
pasturing is not too close or continued
too late. In this, as in most other things
pertaining to farm management, says
the agricultural editor of the New York
World, no set rules can be laid down
that will be applicable in all cases, and
the farmers own observation and ex-
perience, according as the soil and the
season may favor the growth Of the
plants, or the contrary, will Be his best
guide in the matter.

A Moderate view Of cspoai.ins.


Here is what the editor Of Farm Poul.
try says concerning capons:
Capons will make somewhat more
growth-perhaps an average Of . pound
and are are usually about 10 months
old when marketed. They should bring
also a somewhat higher price than cock
erels. We believe, however, that the
average farmer ca. make more money
year in and year out to raise two crops
Of chickens each year TO the age Of about
8 months each than one crop Of capons &c
the age Of 10 months. OF course houss
room, food, etc, would be practically
the same in either case.
January, February, March, April ard
May are the months when they are mo-:
in demand. It makes little differ encs
whether marketed in New York or Bos
ton. % the price in one place largely
governs the other. They are usuali,
shipped dressed, but are differently
dressed from other poultry. The head /.

A Hint TO Beekeepers.

A Belgian agriculturist planted at the
beginning of spring two white birch trees
and pruned them at the time when the
sap was rising. The next day from each
opening flowed an abundance of liquid,
and the tree was then surrounded by
quantities of bees, which ate with delight
the sweet water. This natural flow Of
water continued for several days, and the
colonies of bees the whole time presented
q great sight.

-Four years ago one of my boys found
a wssps' nest and must needs amuse
himself pelting it with stones, resulting
in his getting very badly stung in the
face. Fortunately / remembered hav-
ing read of the wet earth cure and a
once daubed his face with some mud
from the road, with the happy result
that in about Is or 20 minutes all
the painful effects had ceased and very
little swelling remained. l have since
then used this remedy when stung while
manipulating my bees, and find il inf
nitely better than spirits of ammonia or
other popular remedies, and the best of
it is that it Is always ready at hand"
