The Time to Cat Wheat. This has been made a mailer of careful experiment in England, and much more de fends upon it than is generally supposed. . From a very careful series -of experiments made in England, in 1840-41, Mr. Jonn Hinman, of Yorkshire, with a view of deter mining the proper period of reaping wheal, it was decided that the best time for perform ing the operation is, when it is in a “raw” state, or when the straw, as seen from a dis tance, appears green, but closely examined, is'found to be approximating to yellow, and the grain itself, being separated from the chaff, is pulpy and soft, but not in the milky stage. This gentleman has shown that, at least six dollars per acre are lost by allowing the wheat to become ripe before it is cut, and that at the same time its quality is not so good. The chief advantages derived from this method, are slated to be a greater weight of grain lo a given space of ground, which pro duces more flour of a superior quality ; the straw contains more nutritive matter, and is better relished by animals; and there is a better opportunity of securing the crop, and a saving in so doing, as there is less waste in moving or reaping the wheal by the dropping out of the seed. It will be seen is this matter, how much a farmer’s success depends upon an accurate knowledge of his business. Even in so small an item as the cutting of grain, the owner of fifty acres would lose three hundred dollars, by harvesting a few days 100 late. There are many other farm operations in which ac curate knowledge is quite as important. Is it any wonder that so many of our farmers do not make money when there are a hun dred holes in their pockets, through which the money is dripping out in dollars, dimes and centsi The whole year is a scene of prodigal waste, for want of a little knowledge. Wood is wasted for want of a good stove, or a tight house. Ashes are wasted for want of a tight barn to shelter calile in the winter nights. Manures are wasted for want of a barn cellar, and sheds, and absorbents. La bor is wasted for want of a manure lo pro. duce maximum crops. Is it strange with nil these leaks, that the farmer’s till does not fill up faster I — Homestead. Scare Crows. For scarecrows, ihe best 1 know of is a few crows shot and hung up in different pans of I lie field by one leg, or bait and catch them in steel traps. In my younger days, for years, these scarecrows were ample to keep off birds. Every Yankee farmer should have a good gun and ammunition, and know how to use it. Find all the crow’s nests in your immediate neighborhood, break up their nests, seize their young, and then is the time to shoot some of the old ones. I once se cured sixteen in two hours. Go over your cornfield daily, and if the crows havo drrwn any, be there the next morning by three o’- clock with your artillery, or the crows will be there belore you ; salute the first comer with cold lead from your early gun, and if you do not succeed in bagging him, he and his neighbors will come to the conclusion that they had belter let that man’s corn alone.— Another way of keeping crows from your field is by twining. String wool twine from slake to stake once in fifteen rows, directly over the row. You can cultivate the first time and let it remain. Do the twining im mediately after planting and it would-be rare to have a crow light on the field twine remains. Crows grow bold by the cry of iheir young for food, and by man being alack and easy ; instinct leaches them whose corn it will do to pull. The fields for which crows have so strong' a taste, are generally shallow and half plowed, less than half manured, border ed around by bushes, briars and weeds, and enclosed by a mere apology for a fence.— Years ago one of your peace men had a field with one of those ugly borders which have always a great tendency to widen ; at hoeing none wanted to hoe the outside row ; the al tercation between the boys would finally be settled by the old man saying, “Let the Dev. il take the outside row and in a few years he had the whole field. Should the above mentioned scarecrows fail to keep the crows from pulling up the corn, soak other corn in rum, or whisky and Strychnine, and scatter il broadcast on the field. They like the human will-like the taste; but as certain as they eat of it they die. You will, in most of the liquor on sale, find enough strychnine, without adding more, to do the work for crows.— H. W. Lester, Rutland, Vt. —Country Gentleman. Whitewashing Teers.-Wb occasionally see the trunks and limbs of trees whitewash es far up as can be reached. - Those persons evidently, have “not read the papers,” other wise they would abandon lime, and instead, take a strong dilution of soap or potash, which is considered much more advantage ous—whitewash being ruled worse than noth ing at all, from the fact of its impeding the healthy action of the functions of the bark. Sait as a Manure. —The Working Farmer considers salt, al the rale of five or six bushels per acre, valuable as a fertilizer, and destructive of many grubs and insects injurious to vegetation. Of course it cannot be applied directly to growing crops, unless it is surrounding the corn hill, to keep off grub and wire worms. Equal parts of ashes and plaster in the latter case may be used with the salt. It must not come in contact with (he growing plants. Use Ashes.— Wood ashes, mixed with plaster, can be used to good advantage on corn. Apply ul first and second hoeing— two parts of ashes to one of plaster—half a handful to a hill, rather diffused. Wetting Down a Revival. —The revival at Portsmouth, Ohio, terminated in a week’s debate between Rev’, Mr. Franklin and Rev, Mr. Merrill on the subject of baptism. There was a high state of belligerent excitement, and Mr. was publicly presented' with a gold watch by the party that considered him the victor. His Rev. opponent arose to say that he expected his reward in heaven, but was promptly hissed down. The revival slopped when the water controversy commenced. Ten Yeabs Aeo.—Ten years ago in one of the schools of Lancaster county, a black board was forbidden to be used ; and the teacher, who introduced it was dismissed be. cause he persisted in using it, and in teaching that the world is a globe; and a teacher em ployed in his stead, was pledged not to use a blackboard, or teach the figure and motion of the eanh. —Lancaster Examiner.

From them the medicine was borrowed by the English and Dutch physicians residing there and by their recommend ation it was soon employed in Europe. In process of time this medicine has come into general use, and is highly spoken of by the best medical writers. Physicians recommend it mostly for complaints of the urinary organs, such as gravel, a morbid irrita. lion of the bladder and urethra, retention of urine, also incontinence of urine from want of lone in the urinary organs. It cools the unnatural heal and relieves pain; and in many cases of long standing it has been effectual when other valuable medicines had failed to produce an effect.

The farmers (and they really ought to have as much as anybody, for they are to our country what a main spring is to a watch,) wants a little more for their wheat, buckwheat, rye, corn, oats, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels able and willing to pay. The merchant wants a little more for his Flour, Pork, Sail, Dry Goods, Bools Ac Shoes, Hats Ac Caps, Hardware, Crockery and ten thousand little things he has to sell than the farmer thinks he ought to pay. At this present time it seems to be conceded by all that the cash value of good wheat is $1 per bushel; buckwheat, 2 to 2-6; corn 3-6 to 4-6; oats, 2 to 2-6; butter, 14 to 16 cents.
