Fats Regarding the- Crops of
Growing Grain.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE WHEAT MIDGE.
(A Practical Agriculturlst'a Weekly Budget.)
when and now to tiltrY0/114, Wheat.
It ill the experience a the beet wheat
growers in our own and other countries
that a superior quality of grain is obtained
by harvesting the crop when theberry is
-in- the eoft or " doughy " state; that is
when the graia may be readily crushed be-
tween the thumb and anger. It le claimed
that more bueheis per acre, and a greater
amount of flour of a better quality per
bueheaare thus obtained. Staroh and gluten
.are the most valuable constitutana of wheat,
and the quality of these is diminiehed by
over ripening, while the per cent. of woody
fibre is increaaed. Every fernaeta 'can
readily make a praetioal test ,of this
(petition by cutting a pare of his
wheat earlier than !lie rest, threehing,
weighing and grinding . the gram
separately. The method of harvesting the
grain bas much to do with -ita quality.
One •of the greatest sonnies of . lose
arises front the careless and hurried man-
ner of shooking the bundled. 1g the shook
becomes thoroughly wet, aa it is suretnbe
in "catching" weather, if not properly
.made and protected, the grain begins to
grow, and only an Whirler bread can be
made from it. There ere severe,' methods
of arranging: bundles in the shook; they
may be set in padre, fornaing te rove of ten
or twenty; or in round eaoces. The long
stocks expose a broad Hudson to the witals,
and may be blown down, when tho. well.

The latter fear' else more readily admen
of "capping." A secure email snook way
be made of three pairs of bundles set
closely' audaltruly, with' time More bundles
upon eaah side of the double row. The
beached the bundle's ate brought: lea together
and a oapsheaf placed over all. This cap
is an ordiaary bundle, with the band plaited
,six or eight inches from the but, and the
top bent out into the shape of a funnel... A.
larger round stook consists of four pairs •ot
bundles, with three eheavea on each side, •
making fourteen, upop which two cape
sheaves are placed, each made as above
.desoribed, with one side of the funnel left
open where the two sheaves jein on the
shooks. A boy may aid in bringing the
sheaves into piles, but it is no economy to
employ him to shook them. It is a com-
mon practice to cut and bind until • night-
fall, and afterwarde set up the sheaves in
the quickest way possible. Of all harveet
work, the ehooking of greitashould be.done
with the greeteet care Cotherwise a hard
storm may convert the poorly made shooks
into piles of decaying straw; a,nd growing
and nearly uselese grain.
filleasuring tatanding Grain.
An officer in the Englieh navy has con-
structed a table for estimating; with all
• needful accuracy, the amount of wheat on
an acre of land before it is harvested. The
estimate can be made as soon RB the• grain
is ripe. Make a wood or iron frinae one
yard square, carefully let it dowe over the
atemeing grain, and then shell and weigh
algthe grain on the straws belonging inside.
OM frame.. If a circular crop form," as
he calls it, is more convenient, make nen
feet nine and a querter inches in diameter,
of half inch iron. From his elaborate
table, as published in the Thalia Farmer's
Gazette, we extract the following :
2 ozs. per so,: yard equals 10.08 bushels per acre.

Dow ta Freya the Wheat
The presence of the wheat midge at this
time of the year is made known by large
numbers flying in au the windowe at night,
covering the lamps, the opera eta., on
tables. , Oae practical remedy that has
been recommended is to burn all the serene -
Inge of affited Wheet—all the refuse of the
fanning mill, the sweepings of the baro.
floor, or any place where the grain haebeen
stamina, and where the insects would nat.
urally be shaken out. Another remedy is,
that in the fall the infested wheaafielde
should be verydeeply ploughed, with the de
jecit of burying any insects that might
remain, as far below the surface as pont
ble. The advantage retaining from this
mode is, that in the following year they
would not be influenced by the warmth
early, RS otherwise their development
would be retarded, atul isa all probability
their appearance would be too, late to be
followed by any great injury. By thee°
eeveral methocia they Would in feet be
starved out. Besideo theme remedies
another has been proposed, viz : that spring
winalfsbleillti be sawn late and fall wheat
as early as possible; the *eel being that
the former abould be Matured too late, and
the latter too aeon, for the sane* of the
midge in the month of June.

Chicago, where he engaged in the eoppee
trade. He afterward moved to the neigh-
borhood of Dundee, 111., where heparchased
a small farm. This was, as near as can be
ascertained, about 1847. Pinkerton was
then about 28 yew of age, and ill was
then that he made hie first detective von -

onthe rampage in those deers, and Allan

in the employ of a merchant who resides

Rouse of Lords Reformation. in=
A London? cablegram Bays: There was
an interesting debate in the Lords, where
Lord Rosebery moved for a Weds com-
mittee to consider the -beet means of pro-
moting the efficiency of that House, and
supported this motion in an elaborate
epeeoh, eliciting the warmest eulogy
both from Lord Salisbury and Lord
Granville. The Times praises it for its
studied moderation, lucidity of exposition,
breadth of treatment, and brilliancy and
variety of illustration. Lord Rosebery
offered the United States Senate as an ex-
ample for imitation describing it as the
most powerful and efficient second chamber -
existing, and urged the Lords to enlarge
the constitution of their Horne, so as to
inolude representatives of science, litera-
ture, art, commerce,the laboring classes,
India and the colonies. -The• motion was
ultimately rejected.

— A few days ago the Rev. Henry Ward
Beenher delivered an address at the
annual commencement of the Storrs.
Agricultural School, in Mansfield, Conn.
Mr. Beecher MA candid in cioneeding his
entire inadequacy in an egrioultural sense,
but he related the following anecdote of his
early Weetern life: My horse lost a shoe.
I found an unoccupied blaoksixiith'e shop.
I started up .the lire with the bellows,
heated the iron, forged it out on the anvil,
shaped it,a,nd put it on; and then drove off
and didn't leave a cent behind. But I.
etopped, at the next blacksmith shop to have
it fixed just right, and the blacksmith, after
looking at the job, said, "Mister, you may.
as well go one I couldn't do that work
better ravioli." You see, X've remembered
that; I felt rather proud of it.
