HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
We Invite oimimnnicationa rrom AM vrsrm who are
interested in matter properly belniiKliiK to tuts de
partment. Removal of the Wheat Belt.
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.

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.
