Wbiui the wheat crop of the past season
has not been bo large as in former seasons.
still the price is 80 low at the West as to bo
utterly unrein an era tive to the farmers. In
the Middle and Eastern States, where the
grain is shipped to a final -market, the prices
are not so bad. In our own market, red
Western sells for $1.33*1.36; Pennsylvania
and Delaware red for J1.3Ta1.39. In New
York Western red and amber Western sells
for f1.38a1.40; in Chicago 89Ja90; in St.
l.ouis prices range from 80 to $1.30 and in
Cincinnati, sl.o6*s 1.10. But, in the great
grain producing districts of lowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where the only means of
reaching the market, by the farmer, ore his
own teams and the rough roads, the price ob
ained for bis wheat fails to pay him for the
trouble of hauling. The lowa Free Press says
that in Cass coonty, '-many farmers intend,
unless the price of wheat should come up to
a living standard, to feed their wheat to cattle
sod hogs for market. But very little wheat
has been sold, and the prospects are that
none will be sold, except in compulsory
cases." In Wisconsin complaints are nu
merous and loud. Farmers dispose of their
wheat for forty, fifty and sixty cents, and do
cot receive sufficient money for their produce
to purchase supplies, at the rates at which
other things are held. VI e would not be sur
prised if the trouble should be found to LaTe
been caused, lis it has been in former years,
by a Chicago wheat ring, which runs down
the market at the West, until the farmer is
forced to sell at ruinous prices, and when the
crop is all secured in the clutches of the ring,
they operate for and hold the grain until a
rise in the market is secured, when fortunes
are made by speculators, at the expense of
the farmer. Some of the farmers who can
afford to, appear to be pursuing the only plan
to defeat this move, and that is by holding
their crops for the present.
Of the English grain crop of the season just
closed, the Mark Lane Express remarks:
' With regard to the late crop, we have in the
different results on different farms additional
proofs, if any were wanting, that high farm
ing—which includes under draining and deep
culture—will, to a large extent, counteract or
neutralize the effects of an unfavorable season.
It is a fact that on most of the lands highly
cultivated the crop has been good, and on
some farms nearly equal to that of last year;
while on lands tilled and treated in the ordi
nary way, and und r aincd, there will be a con
siderable deficiency."— Phil'a. Exchange.
KEEPING A~FARM JOURNAL.
No doubt there are farmers who commence
business with a determination to keep a dai
ly record of their operations on the farmland
the results of them. This Tesolve is carried
into execution for a time, but after a while
intermissions in these jottings occur, and
finally cease altogether. This delinquency
does not prove that the gractice is not a good
one, and as an incentive to perseverence, we
would cite a case of a man who commenced j
farm life bareheaded, hut eventually attained j
great wealth—a result he attributed in a great
measure to a daily journalizing of his farm
operations—a practice kept up for forty-five j
years, and not then discontinued.
These daily memoranda were made in books ]
of convenient size, each containing the re
cords of a single year, and when full proper
ly labelled and filed away for future reference
when desirable. They contained the number I
of fields farmed each year, the amount of
labor bestowed, the actual yield, the names
of the parties employed each day, the daily
receipts for stock and farm products sold,
money paid out, and for what purpose, the
character of the weather, together with such
reflections as the current news of the day !
supplied. This journal was uniformly writ
ten up each night just before retiring to rest,
but when the party was absent, as was occa
sionally the case, it was the duty of the per
son in charge to make the necessary memor
anda each evening.
These records were often appealed to, to
decide disputed points in regard to the weath
er and crops of particular seasons, and not
unfrequently taken before the courts for the
purpose of determining the date of particular
transactions. At first these nightly records
may prove rather irksome, but if the practice
is kept up perscveriug'y for two or three years j
it becomes a habit pleasureable rather than !
otherwise, and profitable to the parties who
steadily pursue it.- American Farmer.
KEEPING WINTER PEARS.
No fruit is worse treated than the la,e au
tumn and winter pears. Thev are generally
gathered before their time, and then kr.pt in
a dry atmosphere. What wonder is it that
fruit which should be melting and delicious,
turns out to be h shriveled, tough and taste
less thing? Most late varieties hang on well,
and should be allowed to remain until there
is danger of hard frosts: they are to be care
fully picked when dry. placed in boxes or
barrels, and kc-pt as cool as possible. It is
not a good plan to take them to the cellar
until the weather becomes so cold as to en
danger their freezing. When in the celier,
the temperature must be kept as low as pos
sible without dangerjof frost. "Do not mix
varieties iu the same package. The different
sorts Lave each iheir own time for maturing.
A frequent examination will show how the
process of ripening is going on, and the slow
er this progresses the finer the fruit is likely
to be. \\ hea the proper changes have taken
y.lace within the fruit, it is indicated by a
change iu the color of the skin. When this
commences the fruit may be taken in small
quantities at a time to a warm room, to ' fin
ish off.'' We have seen even the despised
and much abused Vicar of Winkfield, when
treated in this manner, prove itself a most
acceptable pear.— Exchange.
THERE is no household duty that is a sub
ject of more annoyance to housewives gener
ally than that of keeping paint clean, and yet
the operation is a very simple and easy one.
Ali that is necessary is to procure a liftle
whiting on a plate, some clean warm water,
and a flannel cloth. Dip the cloth in the va
ter, wring it nearly dry, then take as much
whiting as will adhere to it, and with this wet
the painted surface. All the grease and dirt
will beiostantly removed: it sbouM then be
wasbed off' with clean water, and rubbed dry
with a chamois skin. It is said by those who j
have tried this method, that paint thus clean
ed looks nearly as well as new. It does not
injure even the most delicate color.
Water pbook Cloth.— Cloth, it is stated,
can be made proof against water by immers
ing it (afterward drying) in a bucket of soft
water, with which half a pound of sugar of
lead and a like amount of pulverized alum
have been mixed. This is good news for
peopie who do not fancy the weight, or the
odor, or the impervfousness to air of India
rubber garments.
Hiram Wooim: vr says in his book about
trotting horses, that a pull on both reins will
not bring up a horse when he has broken
from a trot. A firm, quick pull should be
given on ore rein, letting the other give a
little, as much as yoa want the horse's head
thrown out of line.
Dr. McClcrk informs the Practical Farm
er that he has never known the following
prescription to fail of curing coiic in horses:
"Aromatic spirits of ansmonia, half an ounce;
Laudanum, one and a half ounces; mix wilh
one pint of water, and administer. If not re. j
lieved, repeat the dose.

A CHICAGO paper tells a story of election

A GOOD IDEA, BIT TOO LATE.—The old

"Why, Frank," he said, "how can you

before a Chr stian society. It carried me to

"Well, I think," replied Frank, "you had

A DttT genius who has occasion to visit
town daily from one cf the "rural.districts"
recently passed a farm house near which the
occupant had been butchering something less
thar a dozen very small pigs, the result of
the day's labor being hung np on a long pole
facing the street. Our genius deliberately
stopped his team, and asked the farmer what
he was doing? "Butchering!" was the quick
reply. "Ob," says the driver, "I thought
you were dipping candles!" and he hastened
his horses into a trot—to make op for lost
time.
NOT MARRIED. —In one of the Courts, a
| very pretty young lady appeared as a witness.
Her testamony was likely to result unfortu
nately for the client of a pert young lawyer,
who addressed her very superciliously with
the inquiry :
"You are married, I believe?"
"No, sir."
"Only wish to ?"
"lieally, I don't know. Would you advise
such a step ?"
"Oh, certainly ! Fam a married man my
self."
"Is it possible? I never should have
thought it. Is your wife blind or deaf?"
It is scarcely necessary to add that the dis
ccmfited attorney did not vouchsafe a reply.
Assise DIBKCTIOSS.—"Can you direct me
to the Hotel? inquired a gentleman
with a carpet bag of a burly Hibernian stand- ■

"Faith," was the reply, "it's just I that
can do that same. Y'on see, you jist go np

"But I don't know where Thady O'Mulli
gan's shop is."
"Oh, faith, why didn't I think of that?
Well, then, your honor must kape on till you
get to the apple-womaa's stand, on the cor

right, and go till ye get to the sign of the big
watch, and mind yon don't fall down the eel
ler thereaway ; and after that you turn to the
right or left, but by the bones of St. Patrick
I don't really know which."
The traveler turned in despair to a lone,
lank Jonathan, who was standing whistling
near by, and made the same inquiry.
"May be you're going to put up there?"
"Y'es, I intend to."
"Did yon come from far off ?"
"Yes, from Philadelphia ; but can you tell
me where "
"Got any more baggage ?" said the imper
turbable Yankee.
"No, this is all," said the traveler, con
vinced that the only way to get the direction
was to submit.
"Going'to stay long?"
"Couldn't say," was the reply, in a crusty i
manner. "But I'm in a hurry."
"Wait a minute. I reckon yon're a mar
ried man, ain't yon?"
No. I'm not, and I won't answer any
more questions till you have answered."
"Well, squire, said the Yankee, coolly, I'd

here before myself"
In less than a minute, a carpet-bag with a
man attached, was seen hurrying away from i

PACIFIC RAILWAY "
GOLD LOAN.
$0,50 M,OOO.
We beg leave to announce that we have accept
ed the agency of the
KANSAS PACIFIC RAILWAY' CO.,
For the sole of ite
Net Seven Per Cent.
Thirty Tear Gold Loan, Free front Tax.
This Loan amounts to $8,500,000.
First Mortgage Land- Grant and Sinking
Fund Bonds,
secured upon the extent ion of the Railway from
near Sheridan, in Kansas, to Denver, Colorado, a
distance ol 237 miles, of which 12 miles are com
pleted, and the rest is under construction. It is
also a Mortgage upon the Road, the Rolling Stock
and Franchise of this first-class Railway, besides
new running through the State of Kansas,
And in successful operation for 437 miles
west of the Missouri River, and earning already
enough to meet all of its expenses and existing
obligations, betides
More than the Interrst upon this new Loan.
In addition to this the Bonds are also secured by
a first mortgage of the
Government Land Grant of Three Mil
lion Acres,
extending in alternate sections on either side of
the track, from the 394 th mile post in Kansas to
Denver. The proceeds of the sale of these lands
are to be invested by the Trustees in the 7 per

as
-1 Sinking Fund for the Redemption of the
Bonds.
The lands embrace some of the finest portions
of the magnificent Territory of Colorado, inclu
ding a coal field and pinery. The company also
holds as an asset another tract of
Three Millions of Acres in the Slate of
Kansas,
and although not pledged as a security for this
Loan, their possession adds largely to the Com
pany's wealth and credit. We estimate the
Value of the Company's property, covered
by this mortgage, at $23,000,000 net,
while the Loan is merely
$6,500,000.

try through which it runs, carefully examined.
They are happy to give the Loan an emphatic
endorsement as a
Fust Class Investment,

tial even
Better than Government Securities.
