Seasonable Hints.
Wheat should be cnl as soon as there
is no milk in the kernels. If the field is
eqnnre, and there are five mtjn to bind
each man will Lave a side, and they ean
go round and round the field after the
reaper. A man will bind one side while
the reaper outs five sides. If the field
is large and the crop heavy, a Kood
reaper will give five men all they want
to do. See that the sheaves are of the
preper size and well bound, and be
careful that they are firmly stuck up in
shocks that will shed rain.
If you thrash as drawn from the field,
the grain must be thoroughly dry and
hard, and even then there is danger of
the whent heating if- plaoed in a large
Leap. We nearly always thrash our
own wheat as drawn from tho field, but
we are careful to turn the grain every
two or three days, and spread it out as
much as possible on the barn floor.
Bake the stubble between the shocks
immediately after the wheat is cut. If
this is done in the evening or in the
morning while the dew is on, there will
be less grain lost by shelling.
The rakings, when you thrash from
the field, should be loaded the night
before and drawn to the machine. A
good man, with nothing but sheaves to
pitch, will send home the wheat as fast
as a ten-horse power machine can thrash
it. You require three wagons one at
the machine, one going back and forth,
and one in the field.
Six-rowed barley will be ripe about
the same time as wheat, and you can
cut it while the wheat is curing in the
field ; thrash both crops at one opera
tion, and put the straw of both into one
stack.
Two-rowed barlev is rarelv rice for
some dnys after the wheat, and many
prefer it on this account.
Binding barley into sheaves like
"wheat is the better plan, provided the
crop is a heavy one.
Oats will not be ready to cut for ten
days or two weeks after wheat, giving a
breathing spell. So far as the quality
of the grain is concerned, oats are quite
frequently injured by cutting too early.
But where the straw is used for fodder,
what we lose in the gram we gain in the
straw.
Oats snd Peas grown together, we cut
with a Johnston reaper. The machine
throws the crop off the platform into
moderate-sized henps. These are turned
once or twice, and then drawn to the
barn and thrashed. If the weather is
unsettled and the crop very green, it
may be necesBary to put it into cocks.
If well cured, the straw is very nutri
tious, and is greedily eaten by sheep
and horses.
Peas are sometimes pulled up with a
rake. It is a slovenly practice. It in
jures the fodder and leaves a large per
- centage of the peas on the ground.
True, these can be eaten by pigs and
sheep. But at this season we have all
the other stubbles for the stock to
glean. It is better to "roll" the crop
with the scythe, unless it can be cut
with a reaper.
Cultivating corn must, on no account,
be neglected. The cultivators, with
short whiffletrees attached, should be in
the field and ready for use at a mo
ment's notice. Then if a Bhower stops
work in a hay or harvest field, or while
the dew is ou in the morning, start the
cultivators, if it is only for an hour or
to. The gronnd should never be al
lowed to crust over, and no weeds
should be suffered to grow. We plant
no pumpkins with our own corn, and
cultivate frequently as late as the first
week in August. "It is the last blow
that kills the cat," and it is the last
hoeing and cultivating that kills the
weeds and leaves a clean corn stubble.
Cultivate shallow just deep enough to
kill the weeds. If any thistles escape,
cut them with a hoe.
Boot crops, such as beets, mangels,
rutabagas, must be kept thoroughly
cultivated and hoed. Thin out the
plants in the rows to twelve or fifteen
inches apart. Agriculturist.
Wheat.
A communication was read in the
Farmers' Club from Mr. W. O. Pad
dock, of Italy Hill, N. Y. Mr. Pad
dock in a previous commuuicption stated
that, in the past ten years, he had
grown thirty bushels of wheat to the
acre ; that in the fall of 1871 he had
harvested 350 bushels of wheat from
seventeen buBhels of seed, "and one
acre of that was nearly winter killed
and hardly worth harvesting," and that
in another lot of two and three-fourths
. aores he had harvested "119 bushels,
and this by weight, not measure, in a
small one-half bushel." He was inter
rogated concerning the kind of soil
upon which his wheat had been grown.
He replies in his letter that the soil
loam and clay. The land was formerly
coTi-reu wim ueavy pine timber. D our
acres of it were clover sod. and the re
mainder barley stubble. It was plowed
once, and that was in the last week of
August, and the wheat, sown in the
first days of September, was put in with
a drill, one bushel and three pecks of
J. read well wheat to the acre. No ferti
lizer was used, except a very few loads
of barn-yard manure, which were put
in me poor places alter tne wheat was

Recent Fatal Cases viewed In tha Light

Roderiok T. Entwistle, whose case
excited so muoh interest among the
physicians, died in Bellevue Hospital.
At about twelve o'clock on Tuesday
night Eniwistle, who had been under
the influence of chloroform for an
hour, awoke and began to stiuggle for
liberty. He was confined in a strait
jacket, and soon became quieter, and
remained at rest until fifteen minutes
past three. Then he began to mutter
to himself. A liquid medicine was
offered him, but nothing could per
suade him to swallow it. Before this,
though he rejected all liquids, the
stern command of Dr. Chapin, the
house physioian, "Sit up like a man
and take this medicine," had been
obeyed. He now grew worse rapidly,
and by half-past four was in a terrible
fury. Sixteen minims of solution of
morphine were then administered hyDO
dermically, under the influenoe "of
which he became easier, though not
silent. At half-past seven he was ra
tional, and seemed to have some recol
Ie.ot'?a f bia ?"lence during the
niirht. He tllpn nnnl
sive language to the. physicans and at-
wmie in nis paroxysms.
The patient was then given an egg
and a small quantiy of brandy. At
about 8 o'clock a tablespoonful of
whisky and water was offered him, but
he could not swallow. He remained
motionless, and the whisky was al
lowed to trickle down his throat. At
ten minutes past 8 an injection of
whisky and milk wan ciren. fi min.
Utes later another ininp.Hnn nt nrya
drachm of whisky was administered,
and at twentv-fl
whisky and milk. The pulse had be
come very slow and feeble, and the
breathing superficial and slow, showing
that the lungs were overloaded with
carbonio acid gas. Eight drops of
nitrate of amyl were given, and they
quickened the pulse, and the breathing
became more rapid. At twenty min
utes past nine another injection of
whisky was given. He remained
quiet, with the pulse at 100. The res
piration was very feeble.
J nst before the patient died a spasm
shook his body. He tried to throw up
his hands, and his face for an instant
wore a frightened expression. Then,
becoming calm, he died without ap
parent pain.
An autopsy was made in the afternoon
under the direction of Dr. Arnold, one
to the Bellevue curators and Patbologi
tal Professor in the New York Uni
versity of Medicine. He was assisted
by Dr. Knox, of the Bellevue staff,
Doctors Hammond, Wood, Hamilton,
Russell, Kelly. Dr. Arnold's report of
the autopsy is as follows :
Heart. Pericardium adherent over
the entire surface.
Lungs. Left lung congested. Bight
lung normal.
Kidneys. Capsule adherent. Slight
amount of pus at the pelvis of the right
kidney. Liver congested and fatty.
Spleen soft.

several times, swimming to the boat
that accompanied them, and holding on
to the side while he took seme refresh
ment. Bvron had a curious fashion in his
daily baths in the Bosphorns. while at
Constantinople. He took with him al
ways two eggs and a few biscuits. Af
ter undressing, he threw one of the
eggs with all his force, marked where
it struck, swam to it and ate it in the
water. He did the same with the other
egg, and then, after swimming till sat
is tied, dressed himself, ate his bisouits,
and returned to the city. The uniformi
ty of this practice showed that with all
his eccentrioities he had some tenden
cies to regular habits.

Any lightning-rod agent who may see
this paragraph, says a Rome, N. Y.,
paper, is cordially invited to call on
Mr. Norman Thayer, who resides about
five miles northwest from Central
Square, Oswego county. Mr. Thayer
has been until reoently the owner of
one of the finest barns in that part of
Oswego connty. Feeling a natural
anxiety for the safety of his large barn,
Mr. Thayer allowed a lightning-rod
agent to ereot a rod on it. Shortly
afterwards came along another agent.

Itico Paper.
The pretty rice paper that looks so
pure and delicate, is made in China
from the pith of a great tree ; not at
all as' we make paper from poplar
wood, but by simply cutting it into
thin slices. And thousands of years
before Moses was born the Egyptians
made paper from the great papyrus, or
paper reed, by carefully peeling out the
thin layer between the bark and the
fleshy stem, and pressing and drying
the pieces into sheets. Many a story
of ancient times has been found written
on this paper, and stored away among
the linen wrappings of the Egyptian
mummies, just as well preserved and
as legible as if it had been written last
year.
A Few Words to Feeble and Delicate
Women.
By K. V. Pierce, M D., of the World's Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y.
Knowing that you are subject to a great
amount of suffering, that delicacy en your part
has a etroug tendency to prolong, and the
longer it in noelected the more vou have to
endure and the more difficult of cure vonr case
beeomen, I, aa a ulivician. who is dailv con
sulted by scores of your eex, desire to nay to
you, mat l am constantly meeting with thone
who have been treated for their ailments for
months without being benefited in the leant,
until they have become perfectly discouraged
and have almost made up their mind, never to
tako another done of medicine, nor be tortured
by any further treatment. They bad rather
die and have their Bufferings ended than to
live and suffer as they have. Tbey eay they
are worn out by suffering and are only made
worao by treatment. Of anything more dis
couraging, we certainly cannot conceive, aud
were there no more successful mode of treating
such difficulties than that, the principles of
which teach the reducing and depleting of tho
vital forces of the system, when the indications
dictate a treatment directly the reverse of the
one adopted for them, their cases would be
deplorable indeed. But lady sufferers, there is
a better and far more successful plan of treat
ment for you ; one more in harmony with the
laws and requirements of your system. A
harsh Irritating caustio treatment and strong
medicines will never cure yon. If you would
tine rational means, such as common-sense
should dictate to every intelligent lady, take
such medicines as embody the very lieHt in
vigorating tonics and nervines, compounded
with special reference to your delicate system.
Such a happy combination you will find in mv
Favorite Prescription, which has received tho
oudest praine from thousands of vour eex.
Those languid tiresome sensations causing you
to feel scarcely able to be on your feet or as
cend a flight of stairs, that continual drain that
is sapping from your systems all your former
emrtiuuy, auu driving me uioom lrom your
cheeks: that continual strain upon vour vital
forces that renders you irritable and fretful,
may all be overcome and subdued by a per
severing nee of that marvelous remedy. Ir
regnlaritic and obstructions to the proper
workings of your system are relieved by this
mild and safe means, while periodical pains,
the existence of which is a sure indication of
serious disease that should not be neglected,
readily yield to it, and if its use is kept up for
a reasonable length of time the special cause
of these pains is permanently removed. Further
light ou these subjects may be obtained from
my pamphlet on diseases peculiar to your sex
sent ou receipt of two stamps. My Favorite
t'rescnption is sold by druggists. Com.
