Covering for Wheat.
During the past Winter, says the New
York Tribune; the snow laid deeper and
longer; and extended over a greater breadth
Of country, than had previously been the
case for many years. Winters without
snow, are particularly trying on the wheat
plant. In the intervals of freezing and
thawing, the ground heaves and sinks, and,
this being repeated, often day after day, the
plant is either thrown out of the ground or
svarated from its roots, when it perishes.
Ia •the central part of the United States,.
which includes a region I.(Xi miles north and
south of a parallel crossing through the
mouth. of Chesapeake Bay,*there has been
comparatively little snow, and we have un
favorable accounts, many fields being re
ported killed ; but it is not likely
that this has application to other
than old , ground, which has becOme
compact from • loss of fertility and from
shallow cultivation. On soils- comparative
ly fresh, and on a clover lay, there is rea
sonable hope of abundant harvest; and as it
is in this region that the greater part of the
superior wheat of the country is grdwn,
every fact relating to the prospect, whether
present or prospective will receive attention.
From this reference to the perils to which
wheat is subject during the Winter season,
nothing would-seem more important than
that a remedy should be provided. That, to a
great extent, there is a remedy, is well
known to intelligent cultivators. This isi in
having a heavy clover lay to be inverted as a
seed bed for the wheat. By reason of the
great depth to which the clover roots de
scend, and the imperfect decomposition of
the foliage, the soil is made elastic and
spongy, and it is admirahlY fitted, not only
to withstand the intense action of frost, but
to serve as a powerful barrier against
its admission., In many respects a
wheat field upon clover has all the
characteristics 'of forest ground, from
which only ...the trees , have been re
moved. The clover roots correspond to the
roots of the trees, giving drainage and
aeration; and the clover foliage and stalks
to the forest leaves, which are well known
to be almost impenetrable to frost. , Wheat
grows with difficulty upon heavy clay; it
delights in a soil with more or less admix
ture of gravel and sand, and with a fair
supply of lime, and as the same is to be'
said of clover, the cultivation of both should
go hand in hand. Nor need our farmers
expect to succeed with wheat, or indeed to
retain the fertility of the soil where wheat
can be grown except iby sowing clover and
noir% its attendant stimulent, plaster-of
pans. It is now in the very heart of that
period when clover can be sown to best ad
vantage, and whoever neglects 'to improve
the opportunity of a last snow-fall to sow
iteither upon oats or, wheat lets a golden
opportunity shamefully pass away. Or, if
one has neither of these crops, clover can be
sown to great advantue by itself on fresh
plowed and well harroVed ground. -
Wool.
,The market continues free from any ex
citement, and prices remain firm; there is
no disposition to crowd sales on the part of
briyers, and manufacturers do not appear
anxious to purchase in anticipation of a•
short supply beibre the new clip. The gen
eral impression is that there may not be an
abundance of wool at the time of the clip,
brit none appear to fear that machinery pro
- fitably employed in the production of goods
will have to suspend eperations for want of
wool, consequently the cry of- short Wool
does not alarm any one, nor, cause buyers to
rush upon the market. The result is, we are
having a very quiet conservative trade—
something very unusual for the wool trade.
The repeal of 'the tax on manufacturers'
sales is having its legitimate effect, but as
the woolen trade received the -most exciting
and stimulating influence during the
war, people -must not be surprised at its
remaining longer depressed than any other
branch of business and requiring more time
, to recuperate, yet we may expect that as one
branch of business after another rallies that
the Woolen trade will follow in their wake,
it may be with slow and tardy - steps, but
notwithstanding this it will come. Fine
cassimeres are now selling well, and manu
facturers of these goods are increasing their
production, causing a better deinandfor fine
wools, andatiffening prices to some extent;
even extra fleeces are • now • more Inquired
for, in: view of the light stocks on hand and
keeps prices steady for this class of wool.
Medium and coarse wools are so scarce that
there deos not appear to be any care about
them-whatever nobody is disposed to hold
them for better days, and nobody seems dis
posed to pass them by expecting todo better,
but those using these grades of wool take
them at fair rates.
Super pulled wools are in very
. good de
mand, and bring full rates and quick sales.
Extras are now in better demand, inasmuch
as they are better grown, and come nearer
the staple of the fleece Ulna montioor two
ago. But pullers are determined, to a great
extent, to destroy the value of their best
skins by pulling along with them a certain
aniount of the shorter grown, which ser
iously injures the sale of the whole, and
diminishea the value; - theY think:they. male
money by such a mixture, but in reality,
they are heavy losers. If they would take
more pains in sorting and washing, we have
no doubt they would find it greatly to their
benefit. Buyers now scrutinize wool very
closely, and , there is no doubt now bat the
better conditioned any kind of wool is, the
more readily it will , sell- and command the
best prices. Medium 'wools,'which yield .
any amount of delaine, are very scarce, and
consequently delaine wools command rela
tively high prices, although the manufac,
tured udeleis not selling eithe r - freely or at
remunerative prices. Domestic conibingris
very scarce and commands full prices.
Canada is also scarce, but the demand is
quite up to a-few. weeks-- age. California,
Qlregon and Texas are in good deiriapd and
sell readily at good prices.
Foreign wools move slowly, although
there is sometimes a trade of this kind af
fected.
The advance in the price of wool in En
gland, and the improvement there in the
goods,, mow% lum , not . been without its of
fact on this market; on the whole, we may
say that trade is generally reviving, but we
do not anticipate any great rush in business
in either wool or woolens this Spring, nor
do we look fora great advance in prices,
but we do hope that business will be a little
more steady, not only from now to the clip;
but afterwards. • We think the:time is com
ing when It Will be easier to do business
than it has been the past few years. -

CAMPHOR ADMINISTERED TO CURE THE
GArEs—The dose for a chicken five or six
weeks old is a pill of camphor the size of a
small garden pea. Where the camphor
julep given them to drink is strong, they
seldom require a pill. It is the odor of the
camphor that kills the gape,w9rius; there is
no real contact with it, which IS impossible,
because the parasites are in the witidpipes.
HEN'S EATING EACH uTHER'SJUTE—,
ERS.—Spanish fowls are more prone than
any to eat each other's feathers, and, like
most bad habits, it finds many imitators.
There is no doubt it arises, in the first place
from the lack of some necessary• food
something they require at this season of the
year. Those that have no access to grass
always do it. We believe if they are sup
plied with a grass run they always discon
tinue the habit. A good supply of lettuce
cures them, and those that are gone to seed
are best for the ,purpose. If you , cannot
give your fowls a grass run, let them have
large sods of.growing grass, cut with plenty
of mould, thrown into their pens daily, and
supply them with lettuce freely.
CHICKEN FEED.—We know of nothing
better for young chickens and turkeys than
bard-boiled eggs chopped fine, and fed with
cracked corn and wheat. The first few
weeks is the most critical time with them,
and they need animal- food in some form,
especially in the early spring, before grubs
and insects are plenty. We have fed raw
liver, chopped fine, with advantage. A
change of food is desirable. Wheat or bar
ley steeped in milk, toasted bread crumbs
and hominy, are excellent. They should
be fed as often as five times a day, until
they are a month old, and should have ac
cess to clean water at all times.
,
Purzwrs.—A pullet hatched early in the
spring begins to lay at the approach of win
ter, and pullets hatched late in the summer
begin to lay in the ensuing spring, and it is
by saving a certain proportion .of pullets
from the early and 'late broods that you
make sure of winter eggs, a few early hatch
edbhickens for catching the highest mark—
ets, and a numerous flock of chickens in
the warm months, when a rearing is least
precarious. The hen continues in her
prime for two, and, at -most, three - years;
therefore, save every year pullets equal to a
third of your brood stock, selling off at a
trifling . price the same number of aged hens,
or offering them up in a stewed dish, or
well baked pie. However, I have no scru
ple about keeping a heavy, symmetrically
made, splendidly-feathered "partlet" for four
years for the sake of her stock. Many far
mers grumble about their poultry, from not
paying attention to such a simple matter as
their not looking over their bmod stock once
a year, drafting all the old dames (known
by the developed scales on their legs), and
reserving from the Market, basket the most
promising young pullets raised during the
season.
ORCHARD CATERPILLAR.-111 those parts
of the country where the orchard or tent
caterpillar existed last summer, it will be
well for owners to examine their trees be
fore the opening of spring, for the bands of
eggs which extend around the small twigs.
Each band or nest contains several hundred
eggs, and if.left undisturbed, will result in
a large swarm of caterpillars. The easiest
way to get rid of them is to place a pair of
pruning shears on the end of a pole, and se
lecting a day when there is either a clear
blue sky or a ' covering of dark clouds,
(bright elouds will be too severe for the
eyes,) pass around and clip off the eggs.
A. quick eye will readily detect the rings on
any part of the tree by, the swollen appear
ance which they give to the shoots. When
one tree is chured pick up the fallen twigs,
and place them in a basket for burning. It
there is a small. crust of snow on the earth
they may be more readily seen and gathered
up. This is the most easy and rapid way of
getting
the
of this caterpillar, as a single
clip of the shears prevents the hatching of a
whole nest. If any are, accidentally omit
ted they may be destroyed after hatching,
by the use of the swab. In the absence of
pruning shears, the blade of a knife may be
inserted like a hook, in the end of a pole,
and if made arriduirp as a mzor, will .cut off
the twigs by a single jerk.—Country Gen
tleman.
The Teeth of a Horse.
At five years of age a horse has forty teeth
—twenty molar or jaw teeth, twelve incisor
front teeth, between the molars and incisors;
( but usually wanting in the mare.
At birth only the two nippers or middle
incisors appear.
At a year old the incisors are all visible
on the first or milk set.
Before three years, the permanent nippers
have come through.
At four years old the permanent dividers
next to the nippers are cut.
At five the mouth is. perfect, the second
set of teeth having been completed.
At six, the hollow-under the nipper called
tLe mark, hail disappeared from the niPPerE,
tuid diminisha in the dividers.
At, seven the mark has disappeared from
the dividers, and the next teeth or corners,
are level, though showing the mark.
At`eight, the mark has gone , from the
corners, and the horse is said to be aged.
After this time, indeed, good authorities say
that after five years, the age -of the horse
can only be conjectured. But the teeth
gradually'change their form, the incisors be
coming round, oval and triangular. ',Deal
ers sometimes trisluip the teeth of old horses;
that, is : scoop them out to imitate'the inark;.
but this can be sown' by the absence of the
'white edge of_the enamel which alwayi sur
rounds the real mark, by the shape of the
teeth, and other marks of ageabout the ani
inal.—Rural Gentleman. E
Ai Culous Story.

Every one knows of Elias Howe, the
famous sewing machine man, •who died, at
Bridgeport, Connecticut;" , a few months ;tgo,

four or five millions. 'He bad king enjoyed
