Bat still it is the same law of sup* ply and demand operating in anoth er way. The temptation of higher prices having emptied the barns of their old stock, there is nothing to break the market with. If a heavy stock were still on hand, there would be a rash td“ avoid the low prices of a certain low price next fall. As it is there will be no serious fall in hay till after the new crop is gathered.— €hrmantoioii Telegraph . A Care for Egg-Sacking. The Country Gentleman suggests a way to prevent/hens eating their eggs. It is to fill an egg with a solution of pepper, and put theegg back in the nest. A Danbury man has tried this and says it works like a charm. He put a pretty good dose of pepper in the egg, and plac ed it in the nest of the criminal. Pretty soon the hen came around and took hold. It was a brindle animal, with long legs, and some what conceited. It dipped in its bill and inhaled the delicacy. Then it came out-uuura. it nian't gauop out, we don’t mean, but it came out—came out to look at the scenery, and see if it was going to rain. Its mouth was wide open, and the feathers on the top of its head stood straight up. Then it commenced to go around like a circus horse. Once in a while it would stop and push out one leg in a tone of astonish ment, and then holler “fire,” and start on again. The other hens came out to look on. Soon the hens from the neighbors came over the fence, and took up a position of observa tion. It was quite evident that the performance was something entirely new and unique to them. There is a good deal of humane nature in hens. When they saw this hen dance around and have all the fun to herself, and heard it shout “fire,” and could not see the conflagration themselves, they filled up with wrath, and of accord sprang upon it, and before the Danbury man could interfere, the brindle hen with the long legs was among the things that were. He says the receipt is effectual. Cooking Beets. In the process of cooking beets they are frequently made ver •f hard and almost inedible, and the seeds man or gardener is made to bear the coesequencea of the cook’s short comings. Following up our experi mental trials, we have looked into the cook’s department, and offer to our readers the following conclu sion : 1. In preparing beets for cooking, the greatest care must be taken not to bruise the skin, or in any way wound the root; and if by accident any injury has been done to the root, bake and not boil. 2. If a deep crimson hue is the color pre ferred in the beet, or firm flesh, this is the best attained by baking the roots. 3. If a light, clear, bright color is desired, or a soft juicy flesh, then boiling will secure this. 4. If a rich, agreeable flavor is sought for, then select the beet which, be fore cooking, has the most purple in it, and the flavor may be discov ered by masticating a small portion of the uncooked root If good it will leave a rich, agreeable flavor on the v xv/’\ «( fte K«A«r. The Commissioner orAgvioulture m an ajrtiole : on ma bhmery marks -on the says: ' implements for nee upon the farm there is no one which tells of greater benefits than tbdf roller. It pulverizes the clods, smoothes the surface for the scythe, or ! reaper, and compacts the earth about the seed and roots of plants; but above all and of most tmportancent-tfesiroys^erarai-Tnw object of plowing and, harrowing; A roUer| greatly* ] That small stones and to Ugh places should be driven out 'of the wayof the scythe or mower is a desidera tum which every farmer will appre ciate, and when the seed .is first sown/and when the frosty winter er thawing of the spring have loosened its growth upon the surface it may be imagined hCw it would be ~ bench fited by giving it a bed the earth again. But its most useful purpose is less satisfactory explained* for its only proof is only found in . the ex perience of its use. ■ All know, that most ot the vermin which afflicts the farmers* crop has its resting stnd' often its breeding place in the earth; there,'and upon the ybuog and ten , der plant, where it deposits its eggs. The cut worm destroys corn at the surface; the Hessian fly deposits its eggs upon the wheat blade, which often falls to the ground. The earth, in fine, is fully charged with the eggs and embryo of vermin of all sorts in all stages, and it may readily be imagined what an amount of destruction would follow the pas sage of a heavy roller over the sur face. We are glad to notice that the old fashioned triangular harrow is going out of use, and its place- is being taken by those of less weight and more economical shape. By the use of steel instead of iron much small er teeth may be used, and much less sharpening is needed. We have in use a jointed harrow of our own construction, which we like as well as any we have seen. It is compos ed of two frames, four feet by five, with eighteen steel teeth each, made of three-quarter inch round steel. The place of attachment for draft is so arranged that the harrow is capa ble of fine or coarse work, which will vary from the finest garden to the heaviest soil. It will cover a space six to seven feet wide and doei its work much better than the heavier triangular harrow, and cov ers much more surface. We find it a most effectual imple ment for stirring the soil of a potato patch about the time the sprouts are coming out of the ground, and after one or two good harrows we find the remainder of the culture to be light work... The expense of keeping it sharp is not more than one-half that needed for*the same number of iron teeth.— Weekly Age.
