Mr. Quackenbos is already favorably known
as the author of a number of valuable and popu
lar text books for the use of schools. He is
now engaged in the preparation of a series of
Arithmetics, five in number, ' of which the two
above named are the first and second. The oth
ers will soon follow. An examination of these
two rudimentary treatises impresses us with a
conviction that they are eminently adapted to
meet the wants of the class'for which they are
designed. Simple, clear, thorough, and progres
sive, combining' men* - arithmetic with exer
cises for the slate, they will no doubt be rapidly
and extensively introduced into our schools.

A tale of crime, and of the punishment it

time when there is so Much of sin and suffering
to be witnessed on every hand, it was almost a
work of supererogation to conooot this volume of

play a descriptive power, with a fertility of in

This;handsome volume is made up mainly of
the letters furnished by the author to the Con
gregationaliat, portiOns of which correspondence
have been extensively copied by both the secular
and religious press. The book, however, is not
a mere reprint, but has been carefully revised,
and such omissions and additions have been
made as to increase greatly the value of these
already popular letters. Mr. Quint is master of
a style remarkable for its, vivacity, and never
fails to keep up the interest of the reader by his
panoramic description of his varied marches, by
many narratives of touching incidents, and by
the exhibition of genuine and deep religions feel

Baby's Photograph.
" Yes, sir I certainly we can. Bring her
down. Take a better picture than if she
were as many months oid."
• Thus the sanguine photographer.
Sangniner papa reports to skeptical
mamma. Consequence, a procession toward
the gallery of art: hopeful papa, solici
tous mamma, jubilant nurse, impassible
baby.
In deference to the 'Mist's prejudice
Against the appearance within the focus of
either of baby's natural supporters; a sub
stitute for parental arms is hastily con
structed out of an aridess easy chair and a
spotted table cover.
Baby is solemnly enthroned thereon, but
her ten weeks' existence, furnishing no
precedent, and her spinal column no ade
quate stamina for such exaltation, she in
continently collapses into a wad of white
cambric and embroidered flannels; this to
the intense mortification of papa, who men,
tally revokes an order for a chair for baby's
immediate table use.
It being apparent that baby is altogether
too sharp to be imposed upon by the artis
tic mannikin in .its present form, a stiff
cushion is thrown in by way of perfecting
the illusion. Baby again seated, or rather
laid, the sanguine operator adjusts his
camera. Baby, proceeds to puff out her
cheeks aldermanically, manufaeture an in
definite series of douhle chins, and let all
intelligent expression fade out of her face.
Operator still confident, but objects de
cidedly to position. Freshly arranged,
baby thrusts into her mouth oue fist entire,
and attempts a similar disposition of the
oth 3r.
Weak-minded papa and mamma exclaim,
"Is n't that beautiful ! Take her so, Mr.
Sun I" Operator, with professional dis
dain, "If you want a photograph of a fist,
I can take her so, but if you want your
baby's picture, put her hands down."
Discomfited mamma meekly eonwlies,with
drawing unappreciated fiogers. Baby sub,
mits graciously. Mollified operator re
adjusts the instrument. Agile assistant
introduces the plate.
" Now !" says the triumphant operator,
removing the cap, at which signal baby
blows from her red lips a huge bubble,
whose prismatic surface presents a dissolv
ing view of the entire interior (saloon's.)
Baffled operator replaces the cap snap
pishly, " Wipe her mouth." A general
requisition of handkerchiefs and kisses,
and resetting of baby and plate. New po
sition admirable, only baby having fixed
her eyes meditatively on one particular
hole in the carpet, declines to lift so much
as a single lash,
Anxious mamma remarks, " Chickee,
(Coke°, ehiekee," persuasively, on one
side; on the other, papa and nurse, like
two frantic matadores, shake at her, one a
white, the other a black cloth from differ
ent angles; operator whistles and chirrups
from his remote stand-point; attendant
rings a bell with one hand and squeaks a
toy bull,frog with the other; sympathetic
stranger from behind the screen, bran
dishes wildly his watch and chain ; intru
sive dog, timid and affronted, (misappre
hending these demonstrations,) seats him
self afar off and howls..
After three minutes' sagacious and un
herturbed contemplation, of the irrelevant
ole, 'baby suddenly raises her eyes,• and
fixes them on nobody or thing in particular.
Relieved operator signals attendani, who
rushes out for a new plate, and returns to
find that baby has transferred her observa
fionti to the skylight, and is knitting her
brows and wrinkling her fOrehead thereat
like a diminished Methusaleh. Disgusted
operatOr leans upon his instrument; die
tressed mamma coaxes baby's notice down
ward.
Just as Mr. Sun is again prepared to
operate, up and into her mouth goes baby's
unappreciated fist, colliding with the epi•
glottis, necessitating a deal of comforting
from mamma, and a forced march with
papa to the favorite tune of
Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a tub,
And how do you think they got there?
Finally serenityis restored. Baby being
reseated, " chickering," whistling, hand
kerchief-waving, squeaking, howling re
commence with augmented ardor.
By a merciful interposition of Provi
dence, baby directs her gaze at only one of
these'fascinating distractions. The opera
tor seizes the golden instant, covers his
head with the black vail, withdraws
the plate, and retires from the scene,
leaving the Dramatis Personae utterly
exhausted, all but baby, vim bubbles over
into multitudinous smiles and cooings, to
the'absolute enslavement of the obtrusive
dog.
Result. A picture, representing only a
pile of colorless drapery; a little downy
head; a pair of wonderful eyes; ditto of
clenched fists; a double chin ; a bud of a
nose; and yet with all its incompleteness
so much of " our baby" as to make us
think God even to grateful
.tears, for the
bleated art which seizes the precious shadow
of evanescent infancy, and-fixes it forever
beyond the reach of time - Or death's " ef
facing fingers."— Congregationalist.
All Right; or, True Obedience.
" Aunt Mary, may I go up on the top of
the house and fly, my kite?'asked Henry
Alford one day. Henry was a visitor
in the city, and almost a stranger to , his
aunt. He saw the little, boys on the tops
of the neighboring houses flying their
kites with great success, and the thought'
struck him that he would have special fun
if,, he could do the same. His aunt, of
course, wished to gratify the boy in all rea
sonable enjoyment, but deemed this par
ticular feat very unsafe ; and, though she
did not know how it inight affect Henry,
she felt that she must refuse his request.
" I don't want you to go, Henry," said
she; "I consider .thet a very dangerous
thing for a little boy like you to attempt."
" All right, then, I'll go out on the
bridge," replied Henry.
His aunt smiled. " I hope you'll always
be as acquiescent, my lad," she said to
herself.
" Henry, what are you doing ?" called
his mother, on another occasion.
" Spinning my new top, mother."
" Can't you take the baby out to ride ?
Get out the carriage, and I'll bring him
down."
" All right," shoyted the boy, as he put
his top in his pocket, and.hastened to ful
fil his mother's request.
" Aunt Mary, may I go that errand for
you? I know I can find - the place, and I
like to find my way round the city so
.much."
" Well, you
_go:straight down P street
to F, and then cross that, and a little fur
ther down is J street. Go into that and
about three blocks down-0 no, Henry,
it 's of no use; there are so many crooks
and turns in the way, you never can find it.
Wait until Robert comes home, and you
shall go with him."
" All right," las the cheerful reply.
" Uncle William, may I go over to your
store this morning. I want to see those
baskets again I was looking at yesterday!'
44 Cvyes, Henry, I shall be very_ glad to
have you"
"But r can't spare you to-day, Henry;'
said his mother. "I want you to go out
with met you shall go to the store another
time."
"All right," responded the child.
No matter what request was made .of
Henry, what wish of his was refused; what
disappointment or task it was necessary to
impose upon him, his„uniform answer was,
" All right." Not a word of expostulation
or teasing was uttered; no "Why can't I,"
or " Must I," or "Do let mar or " I don't
want to," was over heard from his lips.
His aunt thought he was a model for 'all
boys.
"This is obedience that is worth some
thing," said she, "prompt, cheerful, uni
form and unquestioning."
Pity all boys and, girls were• not like
Henry. What a comfort they would be to
their parents—ay, and to themselves, too l
What a deal of vexation, trouble, and sor
row, they might save Witness.
Little Efforts.
A little child I am. indeed,
And little do I know;
Much care and help I yet shall need,
Thati may wiser grow,
If I would ever hope to do
Things great and good, and useful too.
But eveMILOW I aught to try
TO do *hat good I mop ;
God never meant that such as I
Should only live to play,
Andtalk and laugh, and eat and drink,
And sleep and wake, and never think.
One gentleword that I may speak,
Or one kind„ loving deed,
May, though a trifle, poor and weak,
Prove like a tiny seed ;
And who can tell what good may spring
From such a very little thing ?
Then let me try, each day and hour,
To act upon this plan:
What little good is in my power,
To do it while I ean.
If to be useful thus I try,
I may do better by and by.
Advice to Ronsekeepers.
If you are subjebt to uninvited com
pany, and your means do not slow 'you to
set before your guesti as good a table as
they keep at home, do not distress yourself
or them with .apologies. If they are real
friends, they will cheerfully sit down with,
you to such a table as is appropriate to
your circumstances, and would be uncom
fortable by an Effort on your part to provide
abetter one than you can afford. If
,your
resources are ample, live in such a way
that an unexpected visitor shall occasion
no difference. The less alteration made in
family arrangements on account of visitors,
the happier for them as well as you.
Never treat the subject of having com
pany as if it were a great affair. Your
doing this will excite your domestics, and
lead them to imagine the addition to their
usual work much greater than it is; :your
own cares, too, will be 'greatly magnified.
A calm and quiet way of meeting all. sorts
of domestic vicissitudes, and of doing the
work of each day, be it more or less, equal
izes the pressure of•care and prevents it'
becoming oppressive.
Be composed when accidents happen to
your furniture. The most- careful hand is
sometimes unsteady. Angry words will
not mend broken glass, or china, but they
will teach your domestics to cbnceal such
occurrences from you, and the only expla
nation.given you will be-that they came
apart. Encourage every one whom you
employ to come immediately and tell you,
when they have been so unfortunate as to
break or injure anything belonging to you.
The cases are very rare, in which it is best
to dednet the value from their wages.
In the best regulated families there will
be some laborious, perplexing days. Ad=
verse and inconvenient circumstances will
cluster together. At those times guard
against two things—discouragement and
irritability. If others look on the dark
side, find something to say; if they fret,

while you set them the example of bearing
your part in it well.
A group of girls were looking over some
drawings which lay on 'the teacher's desk.
They were all members of the drawing
class, and they were very impartial in
their criticisms. Miss Stanley, the in
structress, would have been surprised had
she heard how near right some of the girls'
comments- were.
" Here," cried Fannie Lee, holding up
a small crayon sketch of a child asleep,
" here is Cornelia Ames' performance. It
is sure to be well done, for she is never in
a hurry."
The sketch was indeed well done, and it
subsequently took the prize. The lights
and shadows were managed with wonderful
effect, and the curls upon the pure brow
were of the most beautiful golden hue.
Oh, Cornelia Ames ! All this because you
were "never in a hurry."
Dear little schoolgirl, don't hurry over
those tiresome boundaries and puzzling map
queEitions ! Don't hurry over that hateful
composition, whose title "Perseverance,"
stares at you like a cyclops from the top of
the page. Don't hurry over , that ancient

The Chastening Rod.
I asked for grace to lift me high
Above the world's depressing care ;
god sent me sorrows—with "a sigh
• I said, Be has not heard my prayers
I asked for light, that I might see
My path along life's thorny road:
But clouds and darkness shadow'd me,
When I eipectedlight from God.
I asked for peace, that I might rest,
To think my sacred duties o'er;
When lo 1 such horrors filled by breast
As I had never felt before.
And oh, I cried, can this be prayer,
Whose plaints the steadfast mountains move
Can this be heaven'a prevailingeare—
And, 0 my God, is this thy love?
HU soon I found that sorrow, worn
As Duty's garment, strength supplies;
And out of darkness, meekly borne,
Unto the righteous light doth rise.
And soon I found that fears, which - stirred
My startled soul God's will to do,
On me more'real peace oonferr'd
Than in life's calm I ever knew.
Then, Lord, in thy mysterious ways,
Lead my dependent spirit on;
And whensoe'er it kneels and prays,•
Let it but say—t. Thy 'will be done."
Let its one thought, one hope, one prayer,
'thine image seek—thy glory see;
Let, every other grief and care - -
Be left confidingly to thee!

Wasteful Habits of the Poor.
" One of the worst things we have to
contend with in the poor is their. unthrift.
If they live on charity, it is, ' light come,
light go;' a piece of meat to fry—the
quickest and dearest way of cooking it—
bread of 'superfine flour, butter if they can
possible afford it, tea or coffee and sugar
ad libitum., and trust to luck for the next
meal. A poor woman, a widow, had had
various supplies, sent her by some beneVo
lent ladies, in the hope that fora few, days
she would be comfortable and not call upon
them. A lady who went in the next day,
found her quite late in the morning at her
breakfast, with twice as much prepared as
she could consume, and both tea and coffee
for herself alone ! On asking her why
she made both at once,,she answered, ' She
thought she would have one good meal!
Of course she . would not have many at that
rate.
"We saw one day at a confectioner's,
little, dirty, ragged children, beggars And
crossing sweepers, come to buy some of
the richest and most expensive tarts and
cakes. Do such children buy of you ?'
' Oh, yes, they are some of our best cus
tomers.'
" It was rather an extreme ease when a
family for whom some .money had been
raised to relieve them from immediate and
pressing want, knew so little what to do
with an unwonted sum of ready money,
that they spent a part in, having their pho
tographs taken for their benefactors. Now
we do no - expect to cure in a moment this
unthrift and self-indulgence in the poor;
our work is with ourselves; let them see
an example of economy and care in us,
and example will do far more than any
precept. Let us have it graven over the
posts of our doors, ' That nothing be lost,'
and let us follow it as a matter of prin
ciple, and we shall soon find it for our in
terest!'
Doubtless it is the duty of those in com
fortable circumstances, and those who have
influence, to set the example in this re
spect, and to do what they consistently may
t 3 make economy fashionable, especially in
these times. As it is, economy and fashion
are antithetic and antagonistic terms, and
no better service scarcely could be done
than if- possible to bring them into practi
cal harmony. At least five hundred mil
lions of dollars annually, it is estimated,
might be very comfortably saved to the na
tion by a reasonable frugality; and a large
portion of this sum is even worse than
lost. We need to repent of the sin of
wastefulness and extravagance. Ought not
the Christian people (including especially
the Christian women) of the land, to set
themselves decidedly and courageously
against the tide of luxury and vain show
which is sweeping so ruinously over us ?
Unless in some way we can, return to
plainer habits, abjuring imported superflui
ties, and inaugurating a fashion of econo
my, we do not know what is to become of
us. We fear we shall all tumble together
into one heap of bankruptcy.—Adv. and
Guardian.
Four Great Dien.
It is a remarkable fact that the career of
four of the most renowned characters that
ever lived, • closed with some violent or
mournful death.
Alexander, after having climbed the
dizzy heights of his ambition, and with
temples bound with chaplets dipped in the
blood of countless nations, looked down
upon a conquered world, and. Wept that
there was not another one for him to con
quer, set a city on fire, and died in a scene
of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonish
ment and consternation of .Rome, passed
the Alps; after having put to flight the
armies of the mistress of the world, and
stripped three bushels of gold rings from
the fingers of her slaughtered knights, and
made her very foundations quake—fled
from his country, being hated by those who
once exultingly united his name to that of
their God, and called him Hannibal—died
at last by poison, administered by his own
hands, unlamented and unwept, in a foreign
land.'
emsar, after having conquered eight hun
dred cities, and dyed his hands in the blood
of one million of his foes; after having

Never hi a Harry.
earth, was miserably assassinated by those
he considered his nearest friends, End. in
that very place the attainment f which
had been his greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after having filled the
earth with the terror of his name, deluged,
it with tears and blood, and clothed the
world with sackcloth, closed his days in
lonely banishment, almost literally exiled
from the world, yet where he could some ,
times see his country's banner waving over
the deep, but which could not or would not
bring him aid.
Thus four men who, from the peculiar
situation of their portraits, seemed to
stand as the representatives of all those
whom the world called great—those four
who, each in turn, made the earth tremble
to its very centre by their simple tread,
sever - ally died—one by intoxication, or, as
some suppose, by poison mingled in his
wine—one a suicide—one murdered by his
friends—and one in lonely exile.
A Chinese -Crucifixion.
The victim was a well-known thief, whose
principal offense was that of stealing young I
girls and selling them for prostitutes. On
his trial before his judge, he refused• to
criminate himself, though repeatedly
scourged till his back was raw. If a fe
male witness fails in giving satisfactory
evidence in`a court of justice, she is beat
en with a leather strap across the mouth.
His wife, desirous of sparing her husband,
refused to-give evidence, but after two or
three applications of the strap, her courage
gave way. She confessed his guilt, at the
same time admitting that $2OO of the rnon
ey so derived was hidden in the sea ricer
the beach. Officers were sent to search,
"and finding the dollars in the place indica
ted, the prisoner was sentenced to decapi
tation—deemed by the Chinese the most
severe of punishments—because they imag
ine that if a man leaves this world minus
any of his members, he 'appears in the
same condition in the next. ' The culprit,
therefore, prayed to be crucified instead of
being beheaded. -
The cross was of the Latin form, the foot
being inserted in a stout plank, and the
criminal, standing on a board, had nails
driven through his feet, his hands stretched
aad nailed to the' crossbeam. His legs
were fastened to the cross with an iron
chain, and his arms bound with cords, and
on the cord round his waist was inserted a
'piece of wood, on which was written his
name and offense;- a similar piece on his
right arm contained his sentence—namely,
to remain on the cross• day and• night till
he died ; another on his left arm had the
name of the judge, with his titles and of
fices: The criminal was nailed to the cross
inside the Yamun, in the presence of the
magistrate, and then carried by foul' coolies
to one of the principal thorolighfares lead
ing from the city, where be was left during
the day, but removed' at night inside the
prison fer fear of his friends attempting to
rescue him, and again carried forth at day
light in charge of two soldiers. He was
crucified at noon on Wednesday, and Mr.
Jones conversed with him at five in the
evening. He complained of pain in the
chest, and thirst. On Thursday he slept
for some hours, when the cress was I.lid
down within the jail compound. No one
was allowed to supply him with food or
drink; and, during the day there was quite
a fair in front of the cross, people being
attracted from a distance, and the sweet
meat venders driving a large trade. On
Saturday he was still alive,..when the taotal
was appealed to by a foreigner to put an
end to the wretch's sufferings, and hi im
mediately gave orders that vinegar should
be administered, which he expected would
produce immediate death; but the result
was otherwise, and at sunset, when' the
cross was taken within the jail, two soldiers
with stout bamboos broke both his legs,
and then strangled him.

_Sow Turnips.
Farmers, we conjure you to sow turnips.
Now, to-day, this, week, or certainly before
the 15th of August. The old-time adage
says " On the 25th day of July sow your
turnips, wet or dry." The rule is a very
good one, butlve have often got a -great
yield from seed sown three weeks later
than that time, and in very favorable sea
sons have been well paid for all labor when
the seed, was sown Sept. 1. The right
time, hoWever,- is the last week in July.
The best sort is called "Purple Top Strap
leaf." It makes a rapid growth, very solid,
suet, nutritious roots of medium size. It
is the most sure of any sort that we have
ever tried or seen others try. The next
best is the " Yellow-Stone," which keeps
better than the Red-Top, and' is esteemed
better for the table. A sort " Cow-
Horn, or Long white," is much liked by
some farmers. We do not . like it. It
grows high out of the ground, and is more
apt to be woody than the others, which are
fiat and very handsomely shaped. If the
s,ascn is very favorable, rutabagas planted
in July:will grow large enough for the table,
and will do better than those planted this
year in the fore part of June. Whatever
the sort, if large enough to eat or feed,
they will be very valuable this year, as all
other root crops have measurably failed in
the great drouth. This is why we beg of
you to sow turnips. Put in the seed in
every vacant spot, where other crops have
failed, or have been gathered. Put it in
among the standing corn, among the cu
cumber vines, and where the cabbages have
dried up. Blake the land rich and mellow.
Use hone dusi, or.phosphates, or phosphat
.
le guano, or . any kill of well rotted manure.
It would pay well in many cases to use
liquid manure. If you can get wood ashes,
sow them over the young plants as soon as
112. As for quantity of seed, you cannot
sow it as thin as it should be if ycu try.
A pound for an acre is more than enough.
For small turnips, drilling, is best, and if
you drop the - seeds three inches apart, in
drills fifteen inches apart, and all grow,
you will have a great crop; that is, if your
lied is good. There is no crop in the
Northern States more profitable than a tur
n.p orq, and it is a great advantage that
you can grow it this year afar it has been
demonstrated to you that other crops must
fail, in a great measure, on account of the
greatest universal drouth ever felt in this
country. It may be the salvation of much
valuable stock. It may add such a quanti
ty to our edible products,
that in a great
measure it will relieve the pressure that all
must otherwise feel. It will do -much to
ward feeding our army, which must have
supplies, though the people at home should
suffer. A great turnip crop will save us
all from suffering. It' may save the coun
try from a partial famine. We are now
solely dependent upon a great corn crop.
At this writing, July 22, the prospect in
the Eastern States is gloomy indeed.
Without a most copious rain within a week,
the corn crop will be almost a total failure
east of _Ohio. In that and other Western
States it is now promising. It was destroy.
ed last year by frost. It may be Again.
Then famine would stare us as fully in- the
face as war does. The wheat and other
grain crops are below an average all over
the country. Potatoes never looked worse.
Our great dependence is upon turnips. It
is the only crop that we can now plant this
year for 'Winter feedfor cattle, or food for
man. • Do not neglect to put in the seed,
by the foolish argument that " turnips are
no account—they are nearly all water." No
matter if they are " all water," it is water
that feeds and fattens. We speak whereof
we know ' when we tell you that you can
make good beef almost exclusively of tur
nips. You can almost winter sheep and
young cattle upon turnips alone. We-can
winter pigs upon boiled turnips, with a
very little meal, cheaper than upon any
other food 'we ever fed. It is idle, foolish,
wicked, to discourage any one from grow
ing turnips, by telling them that they." are
no account." We tell you that they are.
They are -of more value, according to the
cost of their production, than any other
crop that we ever grew. And above all
else, a turnip crop never impoverishes the
soil, and there never was a year when there
was so much need for everybody to sow
turnips. Let this be remembered.
Preserving Fruit.
Nearly every one is fond of preserved
fruits, but as generally made they are ex
tremely unwholesomej at the present price
of sugar, "sweetmeats" made in the ordi
nary way are too expensive , to be thought
of by persons of ordinary means. Fruit
demands—like the Jew in the Merchant of
Venice—pound for pound, or as much su
gar as fruit, and -only the, best and most
coatly kinds of the - sugar should be used.
It is very generally understood that the
process of preserving fruit in air-tight cans
is not only cheaper but far better than the
old-fashioned way. By this method one
fourth the usual quantity of sugar is re
quired, and instead of being a thick agglu
tinated mass when done, the cherries, plums,
or what not, retain their natural color and
flavor, when•properly put ,up. They not
only appeal to the palate but please the
eye, which is not the least• important point
gained in preparing food.
Al:.that is necessary to succeed in pre
serving fruits in this way is to exclude the
air from the jar.. This is cheaply effected
by boiling. The jars should be of
_glass,
for through it the condition of the fruit
can be seen perfectly and detected if it fer
ments, whereas with other material no
warning . _, is given until the vessel bursts
aid' the material is wasted, if it has not
been well prepared.—Seientific American.
Purifying Sorghum Sugar.
The following information just received
from Mr. Riley Itoot, of Galesburg, 111.,
patentee of a new process for Clarifying
Chinese and other cane.juices, may be of
much benefit to those engaged in raising
sorghum :—" I would add,' in relation to
sugar-making, that after the sirup has gran
ulated, the remaining (ungranulatable) por
tion of the sirup is drawn off. But with
our cane at the North the mucilage is so
adhesive and stiff that assistance by means
of a press has been found beneficial. After
the first pressing is performed, the follower
can •be removed, and a little clear cold
water may be stirred into the sugar, and
press again. This process can be performed
several times, and at each successive time
the sugar becomes whiter, and some slight
diminution of its amount ; but each suc
cessive draining becomes a more perfect ar
ticle of golden sirup, so that what is'lost in
one respect is gained in the other."—lb.
'tar vesting Buckwheat.
Buckwheat requires care in harvesting to
prevent loss in shaking off the seeds, more
than any other crop. Some writers recom
mend cutting as soon as one-third the seed
are turned brown; others say two-thirds.
It we wait for all to ripen, the earliest and
best part of the grain is lost. 'Perhaps the
best plan is to cut when one-halt the seed
are turned brown; the unripened grain
-then draws enough, nutriment from the
straw, which is succulent and juicy, to fill
out and mature the grain after it is cut.
The most approved method of harvesting is
to cut with a cradle, rake the straw into
bundles and set it up. It will be often
necessary for them to remain in the field
for a week or two before they are suffi
ciently cured. When ready to be carted
from the field, the grain should be threshed
out immediately, or as soon as may be after
the loads reach the barn. The maximum
yield' of buckwheat is - from forty to fifty
bushels per acre; from twenty-five to thir
ty bushels is considered a fair crop. The
success of buckwheat is affected by the
weather to which it is exposed in the seve
ral stages of its growth. In this respect it
is more susceptible than any other kind of
grain. In growing the crop successfully,
much depends not only on the general state
of the weather throughout the season, but
also on the particular time 'which may have
been chosen for sowing. - A week_ earlier or
later often makes a very great difference,
and yet, notwithstanding this uncertainty,
'the crop, it is believed, all things consid
ered, is one of the most remunerative a
farmer can grow.— &lea Herald.
Coal Oil for Wounds.
An assistant hospital surgeon says, that
what water is to a wound in an inflamed
state, coal oil is in a suppurating state—it
dispels flies, expels vermin, sweetens the
wound, and promotes a healthy granula
tion. He states that he has seen two pa
tients, whose wounds have been dressed
with it, asleep before he was through with
the third.
Live and Dead Weight of Sheep.
The English rule is to weigh sheep when
fatted and divide the weight by 7 and call
it quarters. Thus a sheep weighing 140
pounds, would give 20 pounds a quarter as
dead weight. If the sheep are in good con
dition this rule is sufficiently accurate for
all purposes. Poor sheep will fall below
the mark and extra fat ones go over it.
Vermont is entirely independent of the
foreign market in regard to sugar and mo
lasses; not an ounce of imported sugar
will be seen in many sections this year.
Vinegar from IVaterwelons,
Take ripe watermelonsy serape out the
inside, press out the juice, et ain, and then
boil it down one half; put_it away the
same as other vinegar, and it will make an
article equal or next to cider vinegar.
