FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. lhispritretna Seed Wheat. We have often insisted that if farmers would take the same pains to save the kirgekt grains and heads of wheat for seed that they do to save the beat ears of corn for seed, there is no reason why wheat should deteriorate by years of culture any - wore than corn. The following from a write In the Rural New Yerker,proses ear Mori : Bow none but the largest and best horrid& It has been my practice for the last sixteen or eighteen years to rtartar wheat for seed over a coarse seed semen, ao ss to sow none but the very largest and beet kernels. By so doing I haws improved my wheat so that I have sold nearly all my wheat at home for seed. Bat in 1871 I hit upon a new plan. I hail a piece •of Treadwell wheat that was injured by insects in, the previous fall sintl - killed by freezing in the winter, so that there were spots not worth cut ting. After harvest I observed a few scat tering beads of unusual size. It occnred to me that there was wheat thathad with stood the nieces of the insects and the rigor of the Iwinter. I gathered enough to sow onero d square, from which I re• alized twenty\ pounds of unusually large, even berry, which was at the ratio of over fifty bushels per acre ; last harvest I had twenty bushels which weighed sixty-six pounds per bushel. It is my opinion that we realize the best crops from the beiCararnost perfect seed in the vegeta ble as well as the animal kingdom. Breeding Stock. _o__. Tt is notnn unworthy ambition for any Fenner td•oultivate—to establish by careful breeding and judicious crossing a breed of animals of his own—of cattle, sheep or swine—adapted to, his locality and wants, tilling his idea of what his expert ence may have taught him a desirable animal should be for. his locality. Of course in making such an effort lie should study thoroughly the different existing breeds and have their merits and demerits tell defined in his mind and the object be is to attain by his experiments should be.equally.defined. But there is so little qtrortirisde to improve upon or retain the good qualities of our native breeds and Tet•add to them those desirable in the imported, that we bare few" or no inde pendent and original breeders—that is, Zen with original ideas that have been formulated from generalizations of expe tient* and the needsof this conntrv,with its varied climates, soils, and conditions of animal growth. There is a wide field here for some enterprising young Ameri can tanner to occupy. It will require years of patient labor, study and experi ment ; but it will pay. Breeding A Good Colt. .-0-.. Whoever wishes to breed a good colt must be willing to put himself to a cer tain amount of trouble and expense. There is an old saying that "the gods never drop nets already cracked into men's mouths." Now the country is full of men who are ambitious to raise a five hundred dollar colt, hat who arc at the same time unwilling to be at any consid erable trouble or expense to do it. They wish for a live hundred dollar colt; but they wish to,get it in such a way that it will not.cost them over fifty or seventy live dollars. It Is not difficult for an in telligent breeder to raise a five hundred dollar _colt ; it is not extravagant for such a person to eipect to raise a colt, which, at five years of age, shall - command a thousand for eery year of his age, but it casts time, attention, and considerable money to insure such a result. An ordi nary dam will nut produce such a colt. an ordinary stallion will not beget such an animal. Stallions whose service can be obtained for ten or twenty dollars, and mares of low blood and negative charac ter. can never beget such a foal.-Murray radian beeswax is a commodity of great mportance in the Eastern Archipelago. the principal destination of that exported from Calcutta being Java, where it goes either direct or via Singapore. At Sam *range and Sonrnabaya there are numer ous manufactories where beeswax is em ployed in printing the national article .of dress termed "Saranges." Wooden stamps are dipped into a mixture of wax and paint, and variegated impressions made with them on eotton clothe.

If vigorous, healthy grape vines are wanted, do not allow but one shoot to grow the first season after planting. Rub off all other shoots, and keep this one bed to a stake during the first season. Your vines should not be allowed to over bear ; tiro bunches to a shoot are enough. For training older vines there have been recommended a great many plans. Any may be adopted which keep up a supply of bearing wood down near the ground.
