HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
A Short History of Whent.
The varieties of wheat are almoRt
numberless, and their character vary
v widely under the Influence of cultivation
and climate. There are Bald to be 180
distinct varieties In the museum of Cor
nell University. On the Blopes of the
mountains of Mexico and Xalapa the lux
uriance of vegetation Is such that wheat
does not form ears. In Japan, it Is Bald
the wheat has been so developed by the
Japanese farmers, that no matter how
much manure Is used, the straw will
not grow larger, though the length of
the ear Increases. The height la rarely
more than two feet, and often not more
than twenty Inches. Through selection
winter wheat has been changed to sum
mer wheat In three years, and summer
wheat converted in the same time to
winter wheat. In general, wheat is the
most esteemed of cereal productions,
but in Abyssinia, according to Parkyns,
the flour of the "tetr,, or "dugassa,"
scarcely palatable to Europeans, Is pre
ferred by the natives to any other grain.
Isls was supposed to have introduced
wheat into Egypt, Demeter Into Greece,
and the Emperor Chin Wong into China
about 3000 B. C. In Europe it was cul
tivated before the period of history, as
samples have been recovered from the
lacuatslne dwellings of Switzerland. In
England it was probably not cultivated
by the ancient Britons, but the. Anglo
Saxons when Bede wrote early in the
eighte century, sowed their wheat In
the spring, and in the days of Queen
Elizabeth its cultivation was but partial.
Indeed wheat was an article of compara
tive luxury till nearly the seventeenth
century. In India wheat seemB to be a
native, but introducers of its BaiiBcrlt
name signifies " food of the barbarian ;"
yet three varieties are mentioned In the
Bhavaprakasa, one of which, is a large
. grained, it is said to have come from the
West, and another, a small-grained or
beardless wheat Is said to have been in
digenous to Middle India.
The first wheat raised in the " New
World" was sown by the Spaniards on
the island of Isabella, in January, 1494,
and on March 30 the ears were gathered.
The foundation of the wheat harvest of
Mexico is Bald to have been three or four
grains carefully cultivated In 1530, and
preserved by a slave of Cortez. The
crop of Quito was raised by a Francis
can monk in front of the convent. Gar
cllasso de la Verga affirms that In Peru,
up to 1647, wheaten bread had not been
Bold at Cusco. Wheat was first sown by
Gosnold on Cuttyunk, one of Elizabeth's
islands in Buzzard's Bay, off Massachu
setts, in 1G02, when he first explored the
coast. In 1004, on the island of St.
Croix, near Calais, Me., the Sieur de
Monts had some wheat sown, which
flourished finely. In 1611 the first
wheat appears to have been sown in
Virginia. In 1020 samples of wheat
grown in the Dutch colony at New
Netherlands were shown In Holland.
It is probable that wheat was sown in
the riy mouth colony prior to 1019,
though we find no record of it, and in
1629 wheat was ordered from England
to be used as seed. In 1718 wheat was
introduced into the valley of the Missis
sippi by the " Western Company.'
In 1709 it was among the cultivated
crops of the Simos Indians of the Gela,
river New Mexico. Millers' Magazine.
Lice on Calves.
If your calves should get lousy, as the
best calves will sometimes, take some
waste grease lard is the best mix it
with a little kerosene and turpentine,
and then thicken with some dry, pulver
ized sulphur and rub Into the hair where
the lice are. Look at the animal the
next morning, and, If one of the para
sites ca"n be found rub on some more of
the ointment, it works like a charm,
the lice disappear like dew before the
sun. .
Worth Remembering.
. Now that good times are again upon
us, before Indulging in extravagant show
it is worth remembering that no one can
enjoy tbe pleaeantest surroundings if In
bad health. There are hundreds of mis
erable people going about to-day, with
disordered stomach, liver or kidneys, or
a dry hacking cough, and one foot in the
grave, when a SO ct. bottle of Parker's
Ginger Tonic would do them more good
than all the expensive doctors and quack
medicines they have ever tried. It al
ways makes the blood pure and rich and
will build you up and give you good
health at little coast. Read of it In an
other column. 45 4t
Answer This.
Did you never know any person to be
ill, without Inaction of the stomach,
liver or kidneys, or did you ever know
one who was well when either was ' ob
structed or inactive; and did you ever
know or bear of any case of the kind
that Hop Bitters would not cure'i1 Ask
your neighbor this same question. 45 2t

KENDALL'S STAVIX CURE !
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL REMEDY EVEK
discovered, as It In certain in Its ellects and does
not blister. Read Proof Below.
From Itcv. N. P. Uraugcr, .
Presiding Elder of the St. Albans District.
Bt. Albans, Vt., Jan. 20th, 1880.
DR. J. B. KENDALL & CO., Gents: In reply
to your letter I will say that my experience with
Kendall's Spavin Cure has been vory satisfactory
indeed. Three or fourjears ago I procured a liot
tie of your agent, and with It, cured a horse of
lameness caused by Spavin. Last season my
horse became very lame and I turned h I'm out for
a few weeks when he became better, but when I
put him on the road he grew worse, when I dis
covered that a ring bone was forming, I procured
a bottle of Kendall's Spavin Cure, and with less
than a bottle cured him so that he is not lume,
neither can the bunch be found.
Respectfully yours,
P. N. U it ANGER,
Perseverance Will Tell !
(Houghton, Mass., March 10th, 1880.
B.J. Kendall & Co., Gents: In Justice to you
and myself, I think 1 ought to let you know that I
have removed TWO BONE 8PAVIN8 with Ken
dall's Spavin Cure," one very large one: don't
know how long the Hpavln had been there. 1
have owned the horse eight months. It took me
four mouths to take the large one oir, and two
month for the small one. 1 have used 10 bottles.
The horse Is entirely well, not at all stl If, and no
bunch to be seen or felt. This is a wonderful
medicine. It is a new thing here, but If It does
for all what It has done lor me lis sale will be very
great. nespeuwuuy vourn,
