I ployed early ami late th rotigh the hornet

wheat as cheaply threnhod as the large farm-
, er can do. The thresher will not sot down
his machine unless there fa at !meat half a
clay's work. Helmet have pay for the extra
labor involved in removing his machine and
steam engine to many places 100teatl of to

threshers, and the competition to get theta
alnioatruluous.3,Wo have heard of jobs being
let at lump rates where the thresher reoeiv
edbarely a runt or one 303311 a half cents per

to 15 cents per bushel In foot, most very
0ma11lots of wheat are usually threshed with

The question is often corked why small
farmers do not grow more wheat, Tho
) reason is that they can generally put their
laud to better uses and buy bread cheaper
than they eau make it. A wheat orop brings
now not more than $30 per rare, and gener-
ally mnoh loss. Thorn are crops of small
fruits, potatoes and some garden vegetables
+that bring larger returns. To be sure, they
demand more labor, but that is all right so
long as they pay for it, Ono of the dffli.
oulties of extensive wheat growing is that
Oh by this exhaustive crop a few men may
deetroy the fertility of a large area very
.quiokly. Growing crops that require more
labor, au)tivation 1s reatriotod to the amount
of land that ono be properly fertilized.
If wheat cultivation Is to bo extended in
localities where it has not lately been
grown, it is important that no illusive ideas
as to the profit of growing wheat be in-
dulged in, Most of those who figure care-
fully concede that low as wheat now is
they get little or no direct profit from the
w heat. They can, however, in the East
h ell the straw for something, or ase it as
rough feed with grain and linseed or cotton-
seed meal. The wheat sowing and Dropping
oan be easily managed by a termer who
employs a large force engaged in growing
other and better paying crops. Wheat fo

timothy sown in the fall, or with clover

Rortioulttual Hints.
orchards should not be neglected at this
-amen, if one has a true eye to the interest
of next year's crops. Every tree that is
allowed to be overloaded with fruit is there-
by injured and this is the time to observe
and mark such for future pruning, Those
who follow shipping fruit as a business must
learn thio thinning process thoroughly be-
fore they have any grounds to hope for
noose, The character of tho fruit offered
for oato often tolls the whole story of clue
attention, or elip•shod methods.
Tho trained eye and taste aro seldom de-
ceived, unless, indeed, the bottom of the
basket or orate tells the story later, and
upon this momentary or lasting sn0eest de'
ponds. Do not bo afraid of thinning out
too severely, of fu refusing to spend time
and money marketieganytlsingbut tho best
of any produce,
It is not often a matter of dispute now,
among persons of any reasonable degree of
information and experience, about the ad-
visability of cultivating growing trees, just
as vegetables are nourished ; for it is evi.
dent to those whn have tried both ways,
that those worked about grow twioe.ao fast
when there is a sufficient oupply of manure
furnished as those which are neglected.
Young pear orohards will be aubjeot to
blight if too heavily manured and deeply
cultured, but both in moderation are not
detrimental.
In orchards where trees have attained
their growth, sod may be allowed, but it
should be kept mown and not permitted to
grow in great bunches about the trunk.
When cultivated, keep the aoil loose dur•
ing warm weather, but as the crops and
trees mature it is well to only scrape down
the weeds to prevent ooeding,
When old trees are two close as is often the
3 case, out out some rather than prune, as
places:'i pruning eventually results, in more rapid
growth. As to fertilizing material one must
know the soil with which they deal or the
( business will be too expensive for profit.
It is said that as a rule the commercial
fertilizers which contain acid phosphate of
limo, nitrate of potash and sulphate of lime
are good for young trees.

Stook Notes.
Never buy a delicate horse.
Blood that wins is the blood to breed to.
The wise fanner begins in the fall to pre•
pare for keeping his stock comfortable in
the winter.
A just man is just to his animals and this
means that he will treat them kindly and
supply their needs. -
Prevention is cheaper and better than
cure, When an animal is sick it should be
removed at once ttom all others of its kind,
Big horses with style and quality ere still
0omnendiig remunerative prices, as are
also fine drivers, trained saddlers and choice
coach and carriage stock.
No man oan afford to raise any but good
stook, for the cost is equal in each Daae and
the difference in selling price is one hun-
dred per cent, in favor of the good.
Our Dumb Animals is doing a great work
its educating the people to that point whore
they will refuse to hire or tide behind a
poor -looking, high•oheeked, or dock tailed
horse.
When the cold weather conies it will be
true economy to spend a little time, lumber
and nails in closing some of the large holes
in the places where stook is to be wintered.
If I ownod a'ttotter that would not trot,
Do you think I'd wallop ilium? Well, Iguess
not,
I'd put him into races and -why then, of
course,
I'd bet like the dickens on the other man's
horse,
If you propose to make the raising of
stook of any sort a profitable business you
must first give attention to grass oniture.
There must be not only riolt meadows and
pastures that aro good in•epring and early
smnmer,but these latter must be seeded with
such a variety of grasses that they will
yield fresh herbage throughout the season.
Abuse is often heaped upon horses that is
not intended by the owner, It generally
comea•in the form of neglect.
Seedy toes, rimmed hoofs and Shelly feet
owe more of their conditions to hotallo0 fit -
Ong than la soapeoted. Better a horse
with a natural foot, however ugly, than a
foot frizzled and oub to shape by an un-
scientific blacksmith, says an exchange.
One of the usual preventives of a horse
wounding Ms legs, is the sowalled boot.
The only useful one is mode of kersey, or
strong, thick cloth, with strong leather
placed outside where the horse hits. Boots,
sitch as race losses wear, are easily kept in
their plane, because of their peculiar make,
and the log being Rat,prevents their moving.
But guards for the ankles are a great plague,
especially the ordinary round pad which
only oovers more or less of the Weide of the
ankle. If it is pot on tight enough to keep
stationary, its tension on the joint to a
00rtaill degree impales its pliability ; if left
more loose it gets oub of plaoo and ohafea by
friction and the dirt getting between the
straps that fasten them tact the leg. These
straps are usually made simply of leather,

The British Soldier's Uniform.
Uniforms were first worn in an it
regular
manner during the reign of the Tudors and
Plautagenets, when counties were held re•
aponsible for raising their quota of men for
the defence of the kingdom according to
population, which has subsequently taken
the form of our Militia foroo. These minty
forces were provided with a emit of clothes,
but no particular colour was in vogue. In
the reign of the Irfret Mary reference is
made to colour for the first time, as it is on
record that the men raised in the northern
counties are to be oihthod " in whyte with
red orownes on ye arm in ye Olde manner."
This colour appears to have been the pre.
veiling one up to a later date, as an old
chronicler notes that on the 20tH May,
1580, tut a review held in London, some 15,.
000 Ehglish soldiers, exclusive of toreignore,
appeared in white nnffor1110. In the reign
of Elizabeth the soldiers ware dark•green
uniforms. About tho year 1700, red became
the prevailing colour in the uniform of
British troops by reason of its being the
Royal colour, and, the soldiers being in the
service of the Crown, that Dolour was nature
ally adopted, and became common. There
are, however, exceptions. Thus British
artillery and many cavalry regiments wear
blue, all dile regiments of the Indian Arley
yellow drab and French grey, and some of
the oolonials gray. Facings, foe'mer]y very
prominent, are mow onnfinod to eollars, ouffs,
busby bags of hussar regiments and the
breastpieees of lancers' tunics, The rule is
blue for royal refltnents wearing scarlet,
and vire term, white for English, yellow for
Scotch, and green for Irish regiments. The
Highland regiments take their dress from
the tartans of the clans, from among which
they worn originally toteed. Uniforms in

11.0 a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, 110 remedy has been
able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and
harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or -the oldest and most
delicate individual. Nine -tenths of all the.ailments to which the'human
family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges-
ti^1, When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a
general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the
result, Starved nerves, liIlo starved muscles, bec0:100 strong when the
right kind of food is supplied; aucl a thousand weaknesses and ailments
disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all
the power by which the vital forces of the body aro carried ou, it is the
first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not eon -
tan a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair
the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves.
For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied.
This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the
essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts
for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous do.
