In agriculture, or rulon for practice, (or
who’ll fanners have nretty generally
•greed that certain methods arc the l>c«t,

results, nome one will nlart up and tic-

experience of our mont intelligent
and successful agriculturist*, rojraated
through many yearn, on different noiln.
and in different loealltien, that we feel
warranted in commending Ilium to gen
eral practice.
One of theao thingn which we connider
pretty well nettled, in the policy of pin
ing land but once for wheat. It lined to
Imj considered very important to pi
summer-fallows two, three and non
linns afour timen for wheat! If nod
ground wan to Ira broken, i(intend of wait
ing lor the grass to got up to a good
height, ami plowing under a good growth

Juno, while cattle or sheep were turned
on to crop all the grann that might nlart
before the nod wan inverted, Hint nothing
might be lent.
To keep down the groan and weeds that
Htartcd on tliu (allow, nheep and t lie liar-
row were the main dependence. After
harvent, the second plowing commenced,
and Llie nod was turned up again before
it wan fairly rotted, the harrow Iralng re
lied hii to tear the partially rotted turf
in piocos. Then followed tfio third plow
ing, and soon after, the fourth if the fal
low received no many. All thin wan ex
pensive, although loss so than it would
oe now, for time wan lenn valuable, hut
it wan connidered necessary to form a
fine, deep, inellownccd-lrad for tlie wheat.
Now, the course approved hy our Irant
farmers in to let tlio gross or clover get
It* full growth, and then turn it untlcr,
or elso mow it, nnd^alter the altermatli
has made a good growth turn that under.
That grass or clover in left undinturlrad
by plow nr other inntrumont until the
wheat In harvested, am! It lracomcs ad
visable to plow this land for another crop.
Instead of trying to make the noil mel
low to the entire depth of the Ural plow
ing, many of our Ik-hI wheat liuslmiid-
men prefer to have the under three or
four inches become somewhat compacted,
while aiming to make the upper three or
four inuhen line nud mellow. Homo argue
that if tlie Hitrlnee in kept mellow, ana
it Iracntnctt compact iiudernoulh, the
wheat will form Itn fall rootn near the
Murfacc, and in the heaving of tlie upper
crust hy Irost, and the nuhnideuce in the
thawing, the roots will rine mid fall with
tlie crust and remain uninjured, whereas
if tlio Irad in mellow the entire depth
the roots will strike deeper in fall, ami
the heavingn of tlio surface will break
the roots in twain.
To mellow tlio surface, they depend
mainly upon tlio wheel-cultivator, the
harrow, and, in some cases, tlie gang
plow. With these implements, covering
several times an much surface an tlie
plow, they can cultivate their fallows
until they are clean and mellow. It
they winli to apply a dressing of barn
yard manure, they do so when the noil is
in good tilth, and partially mix tlie
manure with tlie surlaco hy means of
the harrow.
It wheat is sown on stubble Instead of
fallow ground, tlio stubble in cultivated
quite shallow, immediately alter harvest,
to cover the scattering grain and promote
IW| germination, and then, when the
grain Inin come up and made a little
growth, it is turned under to a good
depth, and the Mirfaeo cultivated alter*
wards tlio same as a summer (allow. Wo
think that tills course is pretty well
agreed upon among good larmers, ami
would only ho departed from in excep
tional cast's.
Another principle which wo consider
sottlod, In the expediency of sowing
tlmothv mod with the wheat in the fall.
Hy so doing you almost insure a eatcli of
the seed, and such a growth of the next
summer as t> almost smother and crowd
out weeds, whereas if tlie seed is not
sown until spring, there is almutun even
chAncc of its tailing entirely, or, it it
succeeds, it lias a desperate contest with
weeds for tho possession ol the soil.
These two tilings we may then consider
settled : that land should receive but
ono deep plowing for wheat, and that
timothy seed should Ira sown in tlie fall,
and that is enough for one tiny.—.4 men-

. . „ „n of tho
nchnnum genus, is grown to some extent
near Toronto, nud in other parts of On
tario. Canada. It is closely related to
the dandelion, ami there is n great re-
semblance in the shape of the leaves of
the two, though thoso of the chicory
are much tlio larger, coarser, and darker
colored. Tlie roots of tho ohlcory are
deshy and milky, and grow about the
size of a small carrot or parsnip. The
plant matures iu October or November,
when it is taken from the ground and
spread out to dry. on raised platforms.
The chief use made of this plant is to
mix It with coflee, the admixture being
pleasant and agreeablo to the taste. It
Is estimated that nineteen-twentieths of
the ground coffee sold at retail in the
United States contains a proportion of
chicory. A little goes a great way, and
when a larger proportion is used than the
coffee will War, its effects arc deleterious.
The process of curing it for market is as
follows: When the plant has matured
the roots aie pulled up and nut on boards
to dry. When thoroughly dried the mass
is placed in a cylindrical roasting fur
nace, like the ordinary revolving cylin
der used iu roasting coffee; the cylinder
is placed over a lire and kept revolving
until thu roots are thoroughly parchea;
tills, together with the drying process,
reduces them about ouo-fourth iu bulk.
After roasting, the mass is ground to n
coarse powder, and placed iu packages,
when it is ready for market.
A Lnrgc-llenrlcd View of (he Indian.
“ I don’t take the same view of the
North American Indian thnt most poo

sion down at tlie grocery store in a
suburban town, the oilier night. “Now

All About Furs.
The most splendid and costly furs are
Russian sable, sea otter, black and silver
fox. The Russian sable Is the finest of
all tlie martens, and, since it is not very
prolific, its skins are costly. The best
and darkest are obtained in Yakootak,
Kamtncbatka and Russian Lapland. The
fur varies from a rick brown to a deep
jetblftck, with points of hair tipped with
white. This constitutes its peculiar
beauty, but it has also the peculiarity of
being fixed in the skin, so that it will
turn witli equal freedom in all direc
tions, and lie smoothly whenever pressed.
The best sables are almost monopolized
by tlie imperial family and nobility of
Russia, and only a few find their way
into other countries. Home, privately
procured in Siberia by Jowish traders,
j brought annually to the Iraipsic fair,
muff of “crown Russian sable,” is now
worth iu New York from $1,100 down to
$800. Sets (by which is meant a muff
and bon) of sables not of the very high
est quality cost $600 to $680. A boa
and five-strijrad muff costs in Up town
New York stores $800, and sets of a
lighter shade sell for 4,800. Tlie finest
of tlio Hudson Hay sells for $800, five
stripes in tlie inuff, and tlie Isms this
season are two yards long. Only a con
noisseur cun judge between the magnifi
cent Russian ami Hudson bay sable, tlie
latter Inis lost caste iu tlie fashionable
world, it is not less bountiful than tlie
Russian, vet the cost of tlie Russian
makes it desirable like all otiier unat
tainable things in life. Tlie silver fox is
exquisitely beautiful as it is fragili
oin its velvety depths, the long, silvery
hair appear as if each were a tiny speai
tipper! with silver; it lias the soil fluffi
ness of thistle down, and is as light nml
vn|>oroiiH as mnralraut. A set of this
costs $200.yet scarcely lasts a season iu
beauty. Next on tho list of valuable
furs comes tlie Iraautiful fisher-tall, a
dark, nearly black, long ami very soft
fur. Mulls ami Isms cost Irom $80 to $180
a set in up town Now York stores, and
tmrdera for trimming cost from $lfi to
$28 u yard. Hots of sea-otter are valued
ut $180 to $280. These high-priced furs
re bought only by tho rich, and are not
..enonilly fashionable. Heal skin retains
all of it" popularity, and hy degrees ladies
are beginning to understand the use nud
abusoof this Iraautiful fur. The natural
being a dull uglv brown, all seal fur has
to lie dyed. The American dyed seal
was first introduced eveu its vile
smell could not repulse its ad
mirers, and now that n process
has been discovered for completely
deodorizing it, it will continue to sell be
cause of its glossy beauty and its cheap-
English died furs of tlie American
lynx arc equally liked. They arc black
and handsome, hut frail. A singio season
will finish a set of them, which, like u
best set of Alaska sable, is cheap at $20
to $28. One of the most comfortable
and luxurious uses to which furs are put
in the lining of warm winter silken
wraps. Hicifienne wraps, fur-lined, are
even better than silk ones and more last
ing. Hicilienne does not shine like silk
after a year’s wear, and it is now largely
imported by furriers. Hicilienne sacques
d silk dolmans are lined with the skins
of Siberian squirrels, whose Iraautiful
gray hacks and lighter colored bellies
make a pretty shifting contrast. Such
fur inferior to the English efyed,
the former will rub off and lose its gl
and rich beauty. To detect the differ
ence, tlie inner ground dye is very dark,
having a burnt appearance, and ultogelh-
tlie fur has a peculiar dead black look,
icrc lias been a great improvement
lately iu the art of plucking and dying
seal skin. Of the two species, Shetland
and Alaska, tho latter possesses far more
durability, hut he Shetland is sofer
and more silky. There are also iiiiiny
grades of this tur; the fine qualities are
easily recognized hy tho deep brown
black shade with a golden ground; the
thick fur is even, lias few or no glistcu-
(meaning little stumps of tho original
seal skin, not properly plucked), and is
soft and velvety to the touch. To ex
amine seal, pass the hand against tho
grain of tlie fur. There are a few im
portant facts to Ira talo n into considera
tion hy those who wish to purchase seal
skin fur, which, despite its lair rivals of
the chinchilla family, will remain a lead
lug standard fur. Otter and Iranver an
lyed to resemble seal so closely it is
necessary to practise the keenest scrutiny
in order to prevent mistake. The fur of
tlie beaver is longer than the seal, but
not so close or fine, mid has not the bril
liant black color of the seal, though in
point of durability is certainly prefera
ble to the Imvci prudes ol sealskin. The
otter 1< just as rich In color as the seal,
though the outer shade has a tendency
to take a bronze tinge ; yet many indies
prefer, and only a few years Pack the
oner grades were more expensive than
the real Hhetland seal. Tho Hhetland is
the finest s|»eclcs of zeal Used for furs.
It is longer than (lie Alaska seal, ami
liner and softer to the touch, though not
so durable, because of its fineness. Fine
seal lur has a deep brown black shade, is
thick-furred and even. Seal skin lias
been said to have lost its hold u|N)ii tho
American market. This is not true. No
other fur can take its place for cloaks
and ccatt and Indies' jackets. Even sea
otter, which, dyed in London, in much
handsomer for mull* and boas, is too
cumbersome for tacques. Iu fact, seal
skin is in greater demand this fall for
sacques—in greater demand than »
lor large and expensive ones. They
made larger and longer, and in n
graceful shapes than heretofore, and,
though the most of them arc plain, some
are splendidly trimmed with bands of
tlio fur of the black and silver fox, sei
otter, brook otter and Iranver. The;
have become comparatively cheap
The most Iraautiful sacques (though |rar
haps not the most desirable), made of
“pup Shethuids’” skins, sell for $:t00.
Tlio best Alnskn sacques bring $128 to
$280. Heal sacques, American dyed, can
bo bought for $80, to $‘.K» and $100,
They look well for a time, but tlie largest
sacques, with Irarder of squirrel edgi
are set off hy oxidized clasps, and aru
fixed at $128 to$100. Quantities of furs
are now used for trimmings. Tlie manu
facture of fur trimmings is greater than
it has ever been, partly because people of
moderate and small means can afford
them as ornaments, while they cannot af
ford to buy full fur sets. Of these
trimmings there is almost an endless va
riety, the richest Iraing of the skim of
the black martin (Hudson hay sable), the
black and silver fox. the gray fox and
the cross. 'Ibis fall, too, great numbers
of fox edgings are Iraing sold, taking to
nome extent tho place of trimmings by
eking out tlie fashionable lengths of
sacques. All furs, no matter bow care
fully dressed, require beating against
the grain of tlie fur now and then to
wake up the hair* that have lain down,
to remove the dust and infuse new i
strength and vigor to tlie pelt. Furs
should never Ira put nenr)tho fire. Heat
crushes the pelt and takes away the life
mid brilliancy. (Jool, dry air is the best

be careful to administer a slight shake so
that the fur will stand out lively. (Ireat
care should Ira exercised in the wcarning
so that friction may not occur at any
specific point. A boa is likely to rub at
the back of the neck. If you wear a seal
