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.

Village would rcspecliully call the attention of the
public to the following advertisement. “Man wan's
but little here below nor wants that little long” is
an old saying and perhaps true to a certain extents
But it seems to me (hat in-this time of general
suspension and panic, everything Is tending to a
reversion of lime-honored sayings, and everybody
wants a little more still. 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. Now to
equalize the mailer and make it satisfactory on both
sides, I want and will agree to take from every
farmer of Tioga county, all the wheat I can get
for the next 60 days at 9 and 10 shillings per bush
el according to quality; buckwheat at 2-6 to 3;
corn sto 5-6: oats 2-9 to 3 shillings; butter 16 to

The attempt mode by other parties; to'bolster up the repu
tation of a Safe which has failed so signally in accidental
fires in Philadelphia, (Banstead Place,) by taking one oat of
an agent's store, (H. A. JLantz,) made) double thickness, (differ
ent from those they sell) to “born up” one of Herring's, (half
as thick) has met with its true reward. ; Herring’s Safe could
not be burnt, proving conclusively! that the only reliable
Safe now made is-“ Herring's” of which ever 15,000 are now
in actual use, and more than 200 [ have been tried by fire
without a single loss. \ .

Report of the Committee appointed to superintend
the Burning of the Iron £>afes t at Reading, Feb.
27, 1857. ;
“The undersigned, members of the committee, do
respectfully report, that we saw the two Safes origi
nally agreed upon by Farrels Sc Herring and Evans
Sc Watson, placed side by side’in a furnace, viz:
The Safe in use by the Paymaster of the Philadel
phia and Reading Railroad Company, in his office
at Reading, manufactured by Farrels.Ac Herring,
and the safe in use by H. Al Lantz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans Sc Watson,and putin books
and papers precisely alike. 1 !
The fire was started at 8J o’clock, A. M., and
kept up until four cords of green hickory, two cords
dry oak and half chestnut top wood were entirely
consumed, the whole under the [superintendence of
the subscribers, members of the Committee. The
Safes were then cooled off with! water, after which
they were opened and the books and papers laken
out by tlie Committee and sent to H. A. Lanlz’s
store for public after they were first
examined and marked by Ihq Committee. The
books and papers taken from the Safe manufactured
by Evans Sc Watson were but slightly affected by
the intense heat, while those taken from the Safe
manufactured by Farrels Ac| Herring, were incur
judgment, damaged fully fifteen! per cent more than
those taken from Evans Sc Watson’s Safe.
We believe the above lo have[been a fair and im
partial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes.
