agricultural. Farm Work for August. This month None of the most impor tant in the farm calendar, and with it maybe said to begin the aecond crop season of the year. Our staple products, cotton and corn, are “ laid by,” and the attention of the farmer should now be directed to the forage, root and small grain crops. The raising of exclusive forage crops, as pea-vine hay, millet, fodder-corn, etc., is increasing very rapidly in this state, and has proved a wise policy, both in economizing corn and improving the condition of work animals. Millet and fodder-corn may very well be planted till the 15th of this month, as the former will be ready to cut for hay in sixty to seventy days, and the latter before frost; but in sowing now, western corn should be used as it ma tures more rapidly than that raised here. Bowing turnips should continue at every favorable opportunity, just before and after rains, until the first week in Sep tember, when the first sowings may be finished with the flat Dutch and red op varieties. The rye and barley patch must be looked alter now, by preparing and heav ily manuring the land for sowing during September. Every farmer understands the valuable aid these render by furnish ing something green for stock during the early spring, either in soiling or gracing. Probably nothing in farm experience is better settled than the advantages of fall sowing of oats, from the 15th of August to the 15th of October, being the extremes, while from the Ist to the 15th of September is regarded as gener ally the most favorable time on fair land. Those who expect to sow wheat on either oat or wheat stubie, should break it just as soon as possible. The grass, stubble and weeds will rot in a very few days, if ploughed under while the soil is moist and the weather warm. Clover and grass seeds should be sown this month; there is usually sufficient rain at this season to cause the seeds to (Terminate, and the young plants get a firm hold by winter. If not sowed this month or early in September, it is best to be deferred till February. Tin uni tiff Fruit. A correspondent of the Detroit Free Press says: In Michigan, the champion in the business of thinning fruit isMr. A. H. Dyckman, of South Haven, who has spent SI,OOO this season in thinning out his peach crop, and confidently expects to get his money back, and more, too, above what he would have obtained with five times the number of peaches of inferior size. John A, Thomas, in the Country Gentleman, after speaking of the increased price of peaches that had been thinned, says: The same result has been obtained with pears. In one experiment, after two-thirds of the fruit on trees of Louise Bonne of Jersey lmil been taken off, the crop was not diminished in quan tity; it would have been better if three fourths had been removed. Theobjection that additional labor is required for thinning is not valid, as it is much easier to pick off the young fruit rapidly when no care is necessary to prevent the bruis ing. than to hand pick the same speci mens nfter they are grown, and then to assort them carefully by rejecting all the poor ones. Well-thinned crops need little assorting. In thinning npplesaud pears, throw off the small, imperfect and wormy specimens, and leave the largest and smoothest. In this way the insects arc early destroyed and the trees will not be exhausted by liearing a surplus of worth less fruit. The earlier the work is done in summer the better for both tree and crop. It is worth experimenting defi nitely to ascertain what distances are the most profitable lor the remaining fruit after thinning; probably six or eight inches for pears, and nearly as much for peaches; large kinds, of course, require more room than small ones. Maturity of Seed. Upon a little reflection it is very ob vious, ami appears rational and physio logical, that the vigor and productiveness of a plant depends very much upon the Perfect maturity and vital condition of the seed from which the plant springs, and that no manure or fertility of soil an make a weak plant as vigorous and productive as a strong one. This is'true of every plant from a radish to an oak. let how often is this great truth disre garded. Has it never occurred to the planter to ask himself why there is so much dif ference in the plants _ot corn in the same hill, all treated alike? or why there is such a difference in the vigor of a lot of seedlings of any plant when all are in the same bed or drill, and under the same conditions? I could state many facts , tending to show that by careful attention to the perfect maturity of seed the pro. ductiveness of anual plants can lie much increased, and that perennial plants can tie obtained of quicker growth and great er hardiness, but it does not seem nec essary to do this. Imi ted I believe the "running out" of the new wheats and other plants in a few years after their in trod net ion is caused by the premature gathering of the crop to prevent the waste of seed; and yet the plant fro-jj ue heavy, well-matured grain, wo- ,y tiller.and yield moreat harvest than five shrunken kernels, with their puny and yellow stalks. So, too, of corn. It often rots in the ground, or comes up feeble and yellow, and the planter often says in explanation of this, “that the weather is too cold; the ground is too wet; there is too much manure in the hill.” &c. On inquiry I have generally found in such instances, that the farmer went through his field before harvest to select his seed corn, or if selected at the husking, more attention was given to the size of the ear than to the ripeness of grain. One of my neighbors, however, follows the practice of his grandfather, and selects for seed only the ears which have limber buts to the cobs or ears, though the ears may be small, or mere “nubbins.” He does not know why these ears were preferred, but his corn always ripens and yields well; and it is evident, from the condition of the cob, that the grain is ripe, and re ceiving no further nutriment from the root or leaf. I think it would pay well for every fanner to leave a jxntion of his field un gathered until the grain is perfectly ripe, even if some shook out; and in the case of corn, not to cut the top stalks, but to leave every part of the plant to complete its appropriate function in the perfection ot the seed. —George Haekell in Country Gentleman. Household Matters. Dried Currants.— Lay them on earthen plates, sprinkle over them a little white sugar—say a dessert spoonful to a dining-plate of thinly spread fruit; dry (perfectly) in a well tempered even; but, as drying currants is a siow pro cess, after one day in the oven they may stand near the stove or in the sun until perfectly dry. Illace English currants dry well in the same way without sugar> and make an excellent substitute for the imported currants and raisins in mince pies. Cream Pie. —One cupful sugar, one table-spoonful butter, two-fifths cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful soda, two even teaspoonfuls cream-tartar, sifted in flour, one egg. Bake on jelly tins. For the sauce, one half pint of milk, one tablespoonful flour, one teaspoonful of corn-starch; mix smooth in a little of the milk one egg, two tablespoonfuls sugar; stir all well together. Put them in the milk and stir till it forms a good custard. Remove from the fire and flavor with vanilla. Spread between each layer. Cut in pie-shaped pieces. Grape Wine.-To one gallon of well bruised grapes add one gallon of water; let them stand one week without slicing (a butter tub will answer the nurpose, providing it has been well scalded and cleaned), then draw off the liquor; to every gallon of wine add three pounds of sugar; put it into a cask, but do not close it at the bung until it is done hiss ing; after it has been closed let it stand two months when it will draw off clear and fine; bottle it, making the cork very close and tight; keep it in a cool, dry cel lar, with the cork down. Pickled Onions. — Take some small onions, peel and throw them into a stew pan of boiling water, set them over the fire, and let remain until quite clear; then take them out quickly and lay them between two cloths to dry. Boil some vinegar with ginger and a whole pepper, and, when cold, pour it over the onions in glass jars, and tie them closely over. Brown Bread. —ln a gallon crock mix one quart Graham flour and one quart white flour. Make a hole in the center, put in two tablespeonfuls of molasses and two of brown sugar, a pinch of salt and a cup of warm water. Stir thoroughly and add a cup of good yeast. Set this sponge at night; in the morn ing add a little warm water, mix stiff and raise again, mould into loaves, and, when sufficiently light, bake two hours in a slow oven. Spice Cookies. —Three cups of sugar, one cup of butter, four eggs, four table spoonfuls each of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, one cup ot currants, sufficient tiour to make it stiff enough to roll out. A Good Custard.--Scald a quart of milk, take off'the scum, and pour it hot on the beaten eggs. Take five eggs; throw out the yelks of two; three table spoonfuls of sugar, a pinch of salt, a chip or two of lemon or orange and a little vanilla. Set it to steaming in a close covered vessel, and steam five or six minutes; then set it on ice, and it cer ainlv is delicious. .. Cardinal Manning, writing to a friend in Dublin on intemperance, says: “ Half the misery of homes arising from bad temper, sloth, squandering, selfish ness. debt, neglect of all duty, is caused i bv indulgence in wine and the like. The sure and best cure of this is to bring up children in simple habits, and to guard then\ against acquiring the liking for in toxi eating drinks. When a liking for the taste is acquirer!, the temptation is at on- re in existence. Common sense as w ill as faith says: Train up children n ot to know the taste and they will not 'x tempted. I urge this on parents whenever I can. and I have before me many happy homes in which children have grown up without so much as hav I ing ever tasted anything but water.’’ SAGACIOUS DOGS. Utrw Remarkable Hlu.trations of Canine Intelligence. The boys at the Delta are in ecstacies over the sagacity of a dog which, when given a rubber ball soaked with whisky for a plaything, was sensible enough to wash it in a pail of water before taking it fairly into his mouth. Dogs are indeed the most sagacious and “fly” quadrupeds in the world. Night before last Mr. Phelps went down into the cellar under Currie's auction store to draw some cider, and in his hurry left the faucet running. The next afternoon he went down and found his faithful Newfoundland dog standing over the barrel with his paw tightly preased over the bung-hole. The dog well knew from observation that without at mospheric preasure the cider would not run out of the small hole at the bottom, and so he pasted his air-tight paw over the bung-hole and saved over twenty gallons of cider worth six bits a gallon. A couple of double-nosed pointers be longing to this office were lying under the table, apparantly asleep, only yesterday afternoon, when a genius came in and began to read some original poetry “ On Autumn.” After hearing a few stanzas the dog knew that poetry was out of season and springing upon the versifier like an avalanche they tore out the seat of his pants and chased him half way down Six-Mile canyon before they let up. Such are the surprising manifestations of sagacity in dogs.— Virginia Chronicle. REMARK A MjRI CHANGES IN XIIE SANDWICH ISLANDS. There are now some 35,000 natiyes and half-whites in the Sandwich Islands. The pure natives are dying off at the rate of 1,000 a year in advance of the births, so that it dce3 not require much figuring to know how long the lineal descendants of the ancient stock will last. The Kan akas have been sadly, terribly decimated since the introduction of civilization. The half-whites are gradually increasing. Many of the high-toned white men on the islands are married to native women, and in a majority of cases large families have sprung from the UDion. Among other marriages between whites and natives there is no issue, and this specially ap plies to what we call by courtesy the ar istocracy of Honolulu. Where whites intermarry with whites, large families usually follow, and grow up strong and healthy, but fearfully lazy. A lazy white man on the islands, and there are any number of them, can discount a na tive, take a year’s loafing, night and day, as a test. The natives, with a very few exception), have small families, one, two or three children being considered a large household. In the families of the chiefs there is great sterility, a majority of the late kings and queens having died child less. The present monarch and his queen have no child in the palace, although married for a number of years. From indications it would seem that the Chinaman is destined to become master of the situation. Jn numbers he is more rapidly increasing than all the other races put together. During the past year several hundred were shipped front thiscity, and hundreds arrived di rect from China. The Hawaiian gov ernment gives sea captains S3O for every Chinaman delivered in the islands, and regular contracts are entered into for this purpose, based upon a legislative en actment, which aroused strong opposi tion. There are several thousand Chi namen on the islands at present. At first, when brought as coolies, they work pa tiently on the plantations for awhile, but take the first opportunity to set up for themselves. Two of the wealthiest mer chants in Honolulu were formerly coolies. The Chinamen control the re tail trade in all its branches, and have driven small white traders from stands held by them for years. The Celestial gets most of the native trade. They sometimes marry native women. The Celestial has introduced some shocking habits among the Hawaiians, and brought to Hawaii that curse of curses to humanity, the leprosy. It is predicted that, unless there is anew sup ply of merchants and business from San j Francisco, the Chinaman will be more j than a match for the effete whites now doing business in the islands. The coolie of fifteen years ago is to-day a welcomed visitor at the palace of Kal&kaua, and looked upon as the co-equal of any white man in the kingdom. A wealthy Chi nese merchant of Honolulu, in former times a coolie, is married to a beautiful ! native woman, who refined the hand of | a prominent white man. —San Francisco P s! IXSTKI CTirE FIG FREr. The reports from the Agricultural bu reau bring comfort and cheer at a time when the country would seem to require all the encouragement it ean receive. This year we shall lie able to export not less than 100,000,000 bushels of wheat, or 10.000,000 bushels more than ever were exported in any previous year. Already the winter wheat is safely har vested. and the spring wheat is in a most promising condition. For this immense reasonably surplus of wheat we shall in all probability have an excel lent commercial demand (fur chief competitor in the British market has been Russia. Last year the United .States forced Russia to take the second ! place in the marts of the wold, even ; when Russia had had all of her ports , open, and was interested in obtaining all the money she could for the ap proaching war. This year the crop of Russia is less than last year, and even supposing the Baltic ports to remain open, she will be at a great disadvantage in competing with the United States. The yield of cotton is also estimated to be about 4,500,000 bales. AH this im plies an impetus to industry generally, unless there is some more of the reck lessness and madness practiced which has so often perverted the good results which should legitimately flow from nat ural bounty. GRINDING THE MILLERS. A threatened tax on flour of a very curious kind has come to light. There is a process called high grinding in use in most of the flour mills in the country, which is said to be essential to the best results in reducing wheat to flour. It has long been in use in Europe, and was introduced here in 1871, and the ma chinery in use in all the great mills is adapted to it. A ring of speculators in Washington is said to have got hold of an old patent on the process, quietly had it reissued, got up a case in which the defendant was a man of straw, carried it to the supreme court without any real defence having been made, and got a de cision in support of its validity. Now suits have been brought for infringement against the leading flour manufacturers of the country, including the Jewells, of Brooklyn, the Haxalls, of Richmond, and C. C. Washburn, of Minneapolis, and the holders of the patent propose to grant licenses to millers for the modest sum of $6,000 for each run of stone. This would impose a tax of $36,000,000 on the flour business of the country, which would, of course, come out of the consumers in the end. It is unnecessary to say that a vigorous fight will be made against this imposition, and a special act of congress cancelling the patent will be asked for next winter. —Bouton Globe. . It is related of the late ex-Senator Pratt, that two ladies whom he charita bly assisted to posts in one of the depart ments, combined to make and present to him adressing-gotvn as an expression of their gratitude. When they came to him, bringing the completed garment, he took down from its shelf a volume containing a law forbidding a congress man to receive gifts under such circum stances. The donors of the dressing gown were abashed ; but the senator took the gorgeous garment and delicately intimated that if they would allow him to pay for it, the matter would be adjus ted, and he would be all the tame very much obliged. Fromlnc mid Performance. The proprietors of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters promise nothing in behalf of this fa mous tonic and regulating elixir which it will not perform.
