The Buffalo Courier nays : The re moval of the " Wheat lielt" westward Is strikingly exhibited by the trade of Cleveland. Only 35 years ago she ship ped more w heat than any other port on the great lakes, UuflUlo alone excepted. Masslllon, now scarcely known In the wheat trade, was the chief point of original receipt, and received a larger amount of wheat than any other port in the world from the actual producers. Xow both Cleveland and Masslllon draw a large proportion of their breadstuff's and grain from the Northwest. West ward the wheat producing regions takes its way, but this condition of affairs, although It will last for many years, will not be permanent. With improved agriculture wheat will again be grown in large quantities where it is now neglected, and the increased settlement of the West will, after a certain point is reached, provide consumers nearer the places of production in that region. The Spirit of Self-Sacrifice. The spirit of Belf-sacrlfice Is one of the great beauties of holiness. Husband yielding to wife, wife to husband ; brother to brother; sister to sister; friend to friend ; in great things, but In small, especially. First and foremost, see that the spirit is with you at home; then carry it abroad into the world. It is a spirit that will sweeten happiness and brighten troubles, and when the soul is ready to wing its flight to its eternal home, It will have the unspeakable coo solation of knowing that it has left the world happier and better in some degree than it found it; that it has been faith ful to its earthly mission. Bo will it listen with unutterable bliss to the sen tence; " Well done, thou good and faith ful servant ; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord !" Argoxy. - -m- - - Fall Plowing for Corn. Heavy clay soiN that have a good covering of clover or grass sod, may be plowed this month for a crop of corn next season. We would not plow the furrows flat, but set them on edge. In the spring a good harrowing, length wise of the furrow, will give a sufficient depth of mellow soil for planting, leav ing the decomposed sod just where the young roots can reach it. A light appli cation of artificial mauure, before the harrowing in the spring, would be very beneftciRl. The planting should im mediately follow the harrow, while the soil is fresh. Light or mucky lands had better be left until spring, as this treat ment is not proper for them. Farmers and all who have charge of cows may learn a lesson from the following anecdote whicli we clip from an exchange : A market-gardener had a very fine cow that was milked week after week by hired men. He observed that the amount of butter he carried to market weighed about a pound more on each alternate week. He watched the men and tried the flow after they had finished milking, but always found that there was no milk left in the teats. He finally asked the Scotch girl who took care of the milk if she could account for the difference. " Why, yes," she says. " When Jim milks he says to the old cow, ' So ! nrfy pretty muley, so ! But when Sam milks he hits her on the hip with the edge of the pail, nnd says, 4 H'ist, you old brute!' " Marking Sheep. This is best done with Venetian red, a cheap paint, only a few cents a pound, and one pound will mark a thousand. Take a pinch of the dry powder and draw the enclosing thumb and fingers through the wool at the spot you wish to mark, loosening the powder as you do so, and it will combine with the oil in the wool and make a bright red mark that the rains will never wash out, and which without injuring the wool, will endure from one shearing to another, while it can be readily cleansed out by the manufacturer. 4aT Buckwheat is a native of Asia, and was brought to this country by the earliest settlers. It was cultivated by the Dutch along the Hudson as early as 1626, and afterwards in the settlements of the Sweeds on the Delaware. From these sections its cultivation spread over New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl. vania, wherever clearings were made, and buckwheat cakes and wild honey at that early period were a common and much appreciated dish. The three states named have si noe been great producers of the grain, and its cultivation is ex tending no rapidly through the North and Northwest that the present annual yleld exceeds 80,000 bushels. 1377.
