This topic is now in order. First.,
as to the proper tiiui to cut wheat
"If cut ljeforo the rrrain has passed its
(r
;
;
;
G
milivv state," bays II. M. Kn-jle, in a
recent public address, "it will shrivel
an 1 lose in weight, although it maj .
make superior ll-ur. II left to get 1
over ripe, the 2 rain wil. get rouh and
hardi, so that r.o after-manipulation
will bring it into eon .lition to make
the best Ibmr without a large propor
, being c.inied ofT with the bran,
between thce extremes, the
-is solved. I am eonlinnetl in
the opi li'.n t I1.1t as soon as the wheat ;
crain has 'passed from the milky to,
the doujfhv state, it can be cut with- 1
out lo-ing any weight or danger ot
slni vt lin. even if we could mash .
cveiv gi'in between our linger and;
thuaib. At that period the bran is
thin and mo-it elastic, can be best separ
ate!, and .vill kave the largest propor
tion of white flour. From this period
until it becomes over-ripe, the bran
will continue to thicken and become
more brittle, and as the bran thickens
and inerea-.es in weight, the yield of
flour will decrease in the same ratio.
Wheat cut in its doughy state must
not be left in the hot sun to dry sud
denly, but should be bound and shock
ed at once, and if capped, all the bet
ter, so as to cure as slowly as possible.
Kaily culling has the advantage of
less loss bv shelling in the field, the
straw will be brighter ami more valu
able for feed and the sheaves will
pack in one third less space than when
cut after being fully ripe."
We believe the views of Mr. Kngle
correspond with the experience of
manv of out best farmers, and ma- be
safely adopted by young farmers until
lh ir own experience shall p. rove the
rr i.ruu-ness of them, a, circumstance
lint likely to occur.
In regard to the proper time for
cutting 'riass for Iir.v, should cut timo
thy iiunicd'atily after the dropping of
the blo-oms, an I clover as soon as
the heads are all out, and before any :
ot them turn brown.
The following sensible retnnik? we
'paote from a contemporary:
"Tie? t.l-j.-ct ef t'.i- Ii lym.ik. r j.houi.1 h. to

"It i- not ikniid." -a s .Mr. Fngel.
from whom we b. fiie ph ted, "that all
gras.es will make ;i larger bulk of
l ay, if rip.; when cut. than it cut w lien
moie tender, but '.he diil'-renee in

A n-.it.her reason f.ir culling early is
that it gives the second crop a chance
to spring up and cover the ground be
fore the hot, dry days of midsummer,
furnishing a better sod for the follow
ing year's crop.
J.:it year, says II. K Tom'in'on, I
cut a lot of mixed orchard gra.-s and
clover. May The clowr was in

THE EGIXSIS OF (ilS.
In 1340 crosslmws were in pretty gen
eral use among the Enulish, but a new
era in war was to le inaugurated, for
with the army of Edward ill. bu ires-
sy) came live "small pieces of camion, a ;
siecies of weajHn supjsed to lx un- j
known in France,' though cannon are
simken of in a sea engagement in the :
thirteenth eenturv lietween the King of
Tunis find a Moorish king of Seville. 1
P.v whom the five pieces of cannon were
made is underlain : but I.e lilood. in his 1
'-Treatise on Artillery." savs that the ;
earliest "trims were of" vervdumsy and :
inconvenient make, beim; usually form- i
..f several nieei-s of iron fitted tojjetli- i
n.,'. rrti.M-ixf a 1 1 1 then lioooed with
. , - ...1
iron rings; ami as mey weie unh oi
the throwing of stones of prodigious
weight, they were of enormous bore.
The 'Tietionnaire Militaire" (lT.V)as-
serts that cannon "were unknown in
Eranee." according to some authors, in
i::is. under I'hilipi but known of only.
"-Nevertheless," savs Voltaire, "till the
reiirn of Charles YIH. artillery contin-
tied in its infancy. They did not make
use of artillerv in sieges till the reign of
' Charles V., King of trance; ami me
siH ar was their principal weapon till the
reioi of Ilenrv IV." No more men- ,
t ion is made of cannon in the English '-,
w:iin nut il 1 4o.-. when we are told that
at theseiire of lierwick a shot from one
great Lfim so shattered a tower that the
gates "were at once thrmvn oikmi by the
alarmed garrison. Jn the year lh'.o,
James II. of Scotland lost his life by
the bursting of one of these rude imple
ments of war. At the siege of Kox
bursh. standing in the vicinity of a gun
which' was about to h. discharged, the
rude mass composed of ribs of iron,
bound together by hoops of the same
metal, burst asunder, and a fragment
striking the King on the thigh, broke
it and killed him on the spot. Hand
guns were not I hen invented, but at the
battle ot Chipping Uarnet (U.T) men
tion is nade of three hundred Flemings
armed with hand gun. but of theircon
structioii history does not tell.
At the Kittle of Find. len I b".l:!s James
of Scotland had with him thirty pieces
of artillery which had lieen cast for him
at Kdinburgh by the master gunner of
the castle, Kolicrt IJorthw ick. Si yen
of these guns were of great lieauty, and
were known as the "Seven Sisiers of
r.orthw iek." The cannon of the F.ng
lish were of inferior make to those used
by the Scots, bein
composed of heiops
and bars.
The fn-st east iron guns of Knglish
manufacture were made at Ibixted, in
Sussex, in lt'5. by IJalph Hogge, mas
ter founder. AImiiiI this time there also
came into use guns called ai'ipiebusses,
w hich w ere lire il from a rest planted
into the earth.
The French were now making rapid
; strides in the manufacture of brass
guns, for in l.i-b". when Francis I. was
preparing to iiiade lingiand. we find
him ,a'-c..;i;ng 'o IV re li.miel' posses--ing
in his feet one .-.hip carrying
' brass guns. At the battle of l'inkie,
1 lot:'., pistols were in use among the
(iermans and others employed in the
Knglish army. The cannon were now
provided with iron balls instead of the
' ponderous stone ones in use previous to
' thisd.iti. Here also we lind mention of
the wheel-loci; pi-tol.
Carbines, pet loneis. and dragoons are
'. frequently mentioned among the lire
; armsof the . Tin-first was so named
from having ber n used in the vessels
'callid called carabs; the second from
' being lired with its square butt jilanted
1 mi t he chest : the third from its muzzle
being frequent ly decorated with a dra
gon's head--henee the trot j rs who
used it came subsequently lo naiued
dragoons. The w heel-lock hackbut was
. used iu Kli;:he!h"s reign, with the rest
' of the heavy matchlock, but the powder
was now made up in cases, i a h con
taining a complete charge, to facilitate
; the loading of the piece, and the strap to
' which they were attached was naiiird a
collar or bandolier.

The funeral was arr infre-d. the jrr.ive 1
made, and the specified three days had
come to an end. The mot her had never
left her danp-hter's body: she had tried
every available means to restore her. but
to no avail. As t he hour approach! for
; the ceremony to take pla.ee, she became
more distracted, and more desperate in
her efforts to convince herself that life
still lingered. 1
As a last resort she went for some
strong elixir, and, taking .ut of her
pocket a fruit knife with two blades, one
blade of "told, the other of silver pro
ceeded by continual workinu: to force the

MURDER V1LL0T ALWAYS OUT.
The old adajie. "murder will out,'" is
not verified by modem experience. The
Xew York Tinus mentions five celebra
ted murders since 1"?HV. which still re-
A
main enveloiM-d in mystery. Helen j
Jewett, a beautiful girl, who lived in a ,
house (if bad repute, was found dead in j
her room. She hail a lover named Rob- j
inson who was tried lor the murder. ;
Several lH-rsons who lived in the house i
saw a man wrapped in a cloak go up, .
stairs to her room on the night of the
murder. They all took it to be Robin- i
son. A cloak w as found in the back ;
yard next liiorning which was proven to
lK'lo'iff to him ; also a hatchet which was
identified as
one that had lieen taken
from the store in which tie was a clerk.
He proved an alibi, however, by highly
respectable witnesses, and was acquitted.
These witnesses most likely committed
jierjury, although they may have lieen
honestly mistaken as to date. This was
in li."
In 1S-12 XIarv Cecelia Rogers, whom
I'oe immortalized in his story of the
"Mystery of Marie llogct.'" suddenly i
disappeared. she started from her j
mother's house, in Nassau street, erne
Sunday, morning intending to visit a're
ative. Three weeks afterward her bod
was washed ashore at Weehaw ken. Sli
1- i
She I
hail been outraged, st rangled, and thrown
into the river, but t he pei-pet rator of the j
horrible crime never was found. j
The murder of Dr. P.urdell lias not
yet faded from the public recollection. ;
He was a dentist, and reputed to le '
worth .floiuiuo. He lodged in a board- ''
ing house kept by Mrs. Cunningham, J
and was murdered in his room on the j
night of January .".0. 1S-"iT. Mrs. Cun
ningham was tried as accessory in the .
murder, but was acquitted. She subse- j
qucntly pretended that she had been j
clandestinely married to the deceased, i
and laid claim to his estate, but she was i
defeated in ibis, and her subsequent at- '
tempt to pass off a borrowed baby as ber ,
own confirmed the general belief that
she had instigated the murder. j
Charles M. Rogers was killed on the j
morning of December ol, IS: is, while'
shoveling snow from the pavement in
front of bis hou-e. The object of the I
assassin was to get possession of Mr. j
Kogcr's watch and chain. In thestrug-
gle the skirt of ihc murderer's coat was '
torn off. and was left on the ground, as ;
was also his hat. Mr. I Sogers lived long '
enough to describe his assailant aecu- )
lately, and a portion of his coat and hat ;
were put mt o t he possession ot detectives
but thejnurderer was never brought to ;
justice. New Vork was at that lime;
governed by thieves and murderers.
The Nathan murder occurred on the
gTth of July, lsTo, and to this day re
mains wrapt in impenetrable mystery.
In fa vov of the old adage, however, it
must be said that of the five murders
mentioned above, the j-crpetrators of
three of I hem were known, but escaped
pimi-huu u! .
Fhatiiki:- should be very th'irnutrhly
dried bt bue uinur them. If feather
beds smeil badly, l' becnine heavy fmin
want of proper renovation of the feathers
or from old ae, empty them, and wash
the 1'eathers thoroniddy in u tub f suds,
spread them in the garret to dry. and
they will be as tftrht and g 1 as new.
Niitr lay the pillows or leather ticks
to air in th'1 sun : lay them in a shady
lace : t he wind can purify them. Heat
makes feathers rancid.
