Mewing }Yltaat the Valt.
In October last tbollamiltou Times
mentioned that a field of fell wheat
had been mowed on the farm of Thos.
Wood, lot 1, con, 1, New survey of
Trafalgar, Helton comity, Tho wheat
stood about eighteen inohee high, anti
Mr. Wood ran the mower through it,
cutting M' about twelve inuhee. Con-
siderable curiosity was felt to know
how the wheat would turn out after
that treatment. Tho field Inid a fine
appearance tide year—all the °reps
aro good m Halton county except
spring wheat—and the threshing
showed the following results :—Ono
hundred anti forty pounds of Medit-
erranean Hybrid seed, yielded eighty-
eight bushots. On the remainder of
the field, which was sown with Dom-
ocrate wheat, the yield was forty
bushels to the acre. The farmers in
the vicmety are of the opinion, from
the result of this experiment, that it
is good policy to snow wheat iu the
fall, when the top is exoop tionally
heavy.
YARLLTIES.
A. convict, however poor, can al-
ways have a watch and chain.
A man is a "perfect brick" when
he shows Itltnsolf all the bettor for
being hard.pressod,
How cloth the little quilting beo—
Improve each shining hour ;—And
gather scandal all the day—From
every prune wall -flower.
Fond Mother— 'Are you better my
dear ?' Little Effie—"I amino ; is
the jelly all gone ?" "Yes," "Nell.
I'm well enough to get up, then."
Many forme of toothache may be
promptly and pleasantly relieved by
chewing cinnamon bark, And cot-
ton, soaked in two parts chloral, ton
parte of nil of almonds and sixteen
parts of glycerine, often allays ear-
ache.
"So you expect to go to the country
soon, hiss Gusbington ?" "Yes,"
she replied ; "we are to visit Uncle
Jatmes, and lie has such a delightful
house, with a wide porch all covered
wit]i trellis vines and grape vines and
bovines—1 can soarcoly wait forthe
time to start.
On the continent of Europe rail-
way locomotive engines give only ono
short low whistle on approaching a
station. In England they keep up a
soul -piercing scream for several
miles. It is not necessary to say
what they do in this country. Their
victims maybe found iu many a lun-
atic asylum.

They tell at good story on a south
Georgian statesman, who went to
Charleston in the old days and stop-
ped at a Betel. A. waiter brought out
some shrimps which the Georgian
stowed away as best he could. In a
moment the waiter re -appeared with
a stand of celery. "No," said the
Georgian, shaking his head solemnly,
"I have tried your bugs and I don't
like them, and you can bet yer life I
don't want none of your grass 1"
A valuable cow in Yorkebire, Eng -
laud, having broken her leg, the vet-
erinary Burgeon was asked to ampu-
tate the limb and try to save the ani-
mal. This was done, and the stump
of leg healed naturally and complete-
ly. When the swelling had subsided,
a rudely constructed wooden log was
fastened on, with which the cow did
so well that she has now been pro-
vided with an improved and shapely
one upon which her existence seems
to be about as happy as before the
mishap.
A German manufactory is now pro-
ducing glucose from old linen rags,
which is chemically identical with
grape sugar, "Next thing," enye
the N. Y. Tribune, "we shall hear of
whiskey being made out of old rags."
Well that would be merely n reversal
of'tlee present order of things. A.
great many old rage can now be trac-
ed directly to whiskey—froin those
stuffed hi the broken window to the
tattered garments on the mendicant's
back.
Tho Minister Getting Acquainted.
--A new minister over on the West
Side wco around during the week
making the aequaintattce of his par-
ishioners. Be called' on Deacon
Smith, and, desiring to aquertain
what business the deacon was in
without seeming too curious, he con.
eluded to get at it in another way.
"Now, my little girl," he said to the
4 -year-old, "what is your name?"
"Sadie Smif, sir." "Your papa goes
clown town every eeorniug, I s'pos a.
Can you tell the what he dons down
town 7" "No, ]: tan't but I hoard
ma tell hint the other night if he did
it any more eleo'd snatch him bald
headed., Didn't you, me, ?"
