Cnttlns Grain Early.
Grain growers are almost universally in
the habit of rutting their crops early t. e.
before the grain has become fully ripe.
By this prtiee much is gained and noth
ing lost. Wheat cut in the milk, or just
after the pulp has acquired a etieky or
doughey consistency, and left to ripen on
the stalk, is preferable lot flour.
w Early rutting, ays the " Western
Farmer and Gardener," is tho p raetiee of
the best wheat-raisers, whether the grain
is needed for flour oj for seed. The grain
fills out after it is rut, and the wheat in
plump and heavy. Dead ripe seed keep
better than tWe that are only jti.H ripe j
but seed simply ripe will germinate sooner
and stronger, than dead ripe seed.-
Where one desirss to keep seed for long
voyages, or for years, it should be ripened
thoroughly. Where it is to be kept for
few months from summer to spring, or
from spring until autumn seeds are even
better by being gathered full early.
Nothing is probably added to the nutri
tious property of seeds in the last stage of
rpetiing. The changes which they un
dergo ar those that will preserve their
vitality.
To cat, or gather before tho final elab
oration of earbon, by which they are to
be preserved", takes from the seed, then,
nothing of its richness, nothing of its
weight nothing but the quality ef long
keeping for planting purpose."
We have so often presented to the read
ers of the Telegraph facte relative to the
advantages of early cutting, of so decided
a character, that no one can any longer
question the advantages ef it. Ger. Td.
The First Potatoes.
We dug on the " Telegraph Farm," on
the 11th of this month, (June) potatoes of
this year's growth, of suitable size for
cooking. They were planted on the 11th
ef March, in a rather deep farrow, be
tween good layers of horse manure, and
notwithstanding the cold weather subse
quent to that period, aud the heavy snows
that covered the earth for several days at
a time, the potatoes came up finely .soaneely
one Biis-sinp, and are now of ample size
for use, and the vines are well hung. Last
year we planted on the 4th of March, and
the fist dug was on the 18th of June,
making a difference of eleven days in fa
vor of the present season with all its back
ward ness.
The variety planted was- the Mercer;
but buy ing them at a store in the neigh
borhood at different periods, we found
there was a full week, difference in their
dificj-euca that is still appa-
r.;iit at tlic writing of this article. The
Inter growth came directly from the exst

Even fire-proof buildings are not per

or design from within, but there would be
little or no danger of a fire in the interior
of one building necessarily communicating
with the next ; and in a town or city thus
built, aud well supplied with water, a Uirjc

once in a thousand years.
We throw out these opinions for the

Either pitying my loneliness, or
from my thin, bony appearance, supposing
me out in quest of health, he handed me a
book,
I grajped it eagerly, and as eager-

pages were puffa of patent mcd;ciucs ; the
balance was an almanac. I read it from
A to Z, and though I do not as yet fully
understand the whole science of medicine,
I think one more reading would put me
through. As to Almanacs. I shall not

Some master of roots and herbs has caught

Hon. 'I homas M. T. M'Xennan, of Wash

lime of his death was President of the
Hempfield railroad. Some time ago he
came to Philadelphia, in connection with
the business cf the road, was there taken
with an-ulreration of the foot. He went
to Readiog to visit relatives, and there was
prostrated with the disease, which termi
nated his life. Mr. M'K. was a leading
member of ihe Whig party, and although
a Warm politician, never would enter into
the low intrigues that are so common to
party.
