Times. --It is a fact first observed and made known by an £ngljsh farmer and agri­ cultural writer, Mr. John Hannam-- recently deceased--and widely confirm­ ed by many experiments during several years past, that the later stages of the ripening process diminish the propor­ tion of flour and nutritive value of the wheat. The time to secure the best grain is when^ the kernel is still soft enough to be crushed, but is compara­ tively free from moisture, and breaks into meal between the thumb-nails.-- American Agriculturist. --Mr. Mechi, that accomplished farmer, says in a letter to the Gazette, a quarterly journal edited by the stu­ dents at the Agricultural College, Cirencester, Eng.: "Many a worthy and even wealthy English farmer, now advanced in years, laments the want of that education and enlightenment which was not available to him in his early days. Education cannot give brains, but it can cultivate and improve them; and even the barren mental fields gain by cultivation. Ignorance in agriculture is not bliss, it is unprofit­ able." Selection of Wheat for Seed. There is a reason why the produc­ tion of grain in the Western States has not reached the perfection which at­ tended the growing of stock. The farmers have not considered the „ im­ portance of. good parentage, nor have they given any attention to the matter of selecting commensurate with the importance of our grain crops. This season there will be an immense yield of wheat. The price will be very low, and to the farmer who gets but fifteen bushels per acre, there will be scarcely any profit, and even his labor will be poorly paid for. On the other hand the man who secures thirty bushels per acre will have the margin of whatever this extra fifteen bushels will bring him, less the extra cost of handling, which will be very slight. This extra yield is worth more to a farmer in wheat than in root or potato crops, because the expense attending the gathering and marketing is a very slight addition on account of the increased yield, and be the price ever so low the extra yield is nearly clear gain. This margin, to be sure, depends largely upon character of soil and qual­ ity of tillage, but a very important ele­ ment is often lost sight of, and that is the pedigree o£ the seed. The man who would consider another demented to put a valuable cow in a herd con­ taining a scrub bull, even if there be in the herd never so good bulls of her own kind, because of the losing chance, accomplishes this same piece of folly each year with his wheat crop. He takes the rye and cockle out of his seed, to be sure, but leaves the kernels produced from roots bearing one stalk and a short head with these from roots bearing fifty stalks and long heads. It is a well-established fact that a single head of wheat awa;y from all others does not till well--in other words, a crop is produced in a field of wheat largely by cross fertilization. The im­ portance. then, of having seeds from stalks well fertilized--that is, fertilized hy the male element of good heads from good roots--becomes an impor­ tant matter. This can not be consolida­ ted in wheat as perfectly as in cattle and horses, but it can be so far man­ aged as to create a tendency toward better seed with each generation, and now is the time to begin. Select first from the largest stool, be­ cause the chances are that, with a good many heads together, the fertilization was from the same plant, and as the plant itself is a good one, in choosing from it the promise is for a good re­ sultant. By going through a wheat- field, in a little while one can secure the cream of the field, which, if plant­ ed by itself another year, and perhaps the short heads and poor roots taken out, will certainly give a quantity of seed that will increase verv materially the produce of an acre. Every farmer cannot go at work upon crossing wheat artificially, with success. This requires peculiar knowledge and skill; but not one but can, by using his best judgment in selecting, increase the value, in three years, of his crop, by 25 and perhaps 50 percent. Thisis no theoretical estimate; it has been tested5 and found to work. We wish also to suggest, in this con­ nection, that in preparing for a grain show at the State and county fairs, let a good bundle of the grain be shown, not a single handful of a dozen heads, but a generous bunch, showing head and stalk, in' connection with the This is a good work >ys; perhaps by so doing the others may be drawn to cleaned grain. for the txr attention of this matter of selection, and thus a good influence got out from this simple work. Fairs are for the education of the people in all matters that promise, to increase production and benefit the farmer. Here is a chance to drive a wedge,--Detroit Free iVess. The « Cnsnspecling" Faraifr* Every day brings us new develop­ ments in tne swindle business. The " tricks M devised to entrap the unwary farmer are uoiii numerous ami Inge­ nious. A correspondent tells us that two " nice-looking " fellows, in a " nice- looking carriage," stopped for dinner at the house of an intelligent farmer of his acquaintance, not long since. They made themselves "agreeable" during the dinner hour, and succeeded in convincing " mine host " that they were men of importance engaged in the laudable work of writing up the agricultural resources of the country for a well known metropolitan paper. After dinner they sat on the front porch and quizzed the farmer as to the resources of the district, average yield of crops, etc., etc. The time for depart­ ure arriving, they asked how much the bill was. " Nothing!" O, they couldn't listen to that! They were well paid by the proprietors of the aforesaid jour­ nal, and could afford to pay their way. They couldn't think oi " sponging." They always " paid fifty cents apiece for dinner and the same for horse feed, making a dollar and a half; hadn't anything less than a ten-dollar bill,', which tnev tendered to the farmer' insisting that he must take the dollar and a half out of it and give them the change. This was accordingly done, an appeal to the wife's butter money being neoessary, however, before the change could , be made. * By this time the horse and carriage were at the front gate, and with many kind expressions on both sides, the two voung men drove off, leaving behind them a character for intelligence and generosity, which, had it extended over a Congressional district, would have been ail thai was necessary to secure them seats in Congress. A few days later the farmer went to town to pay his June taxes, when he found to his unbounded surprise that the bill was a notorious counterfeit, and that the same ten-dollar bills had been " shoved off" on no less than three other men in the county. The farmer returned home a wiser but humbler man, and now no induce­ ments are powerful enough to make him entertain travelers, no matter how " gentlemanly" they may appear. --Practical Farmer. Age. " It is hard to grow old gracefully, spme authority tells us, and when "we see the strenuous efforts made by many to resist the incursions of time, we readily agree to the proposition. But it is like fighting against the stars in' their courses, and perhaps the struggle only renders the ravages of jrears more apparent. People are constant^ grow­ ing old, and yet no one seems to get used to it. Doubtless we ought to ac­ cept every change age brings as an in­ cident of the journey merely, as we ac­ cept the changes of the seasons, taking part in the pleasures peculiar to each without hankering unwisely for those beyond reach and unseasonable. Wrin­ kles should not appall or gray hairs afflict nor the loss of bloom sadden, since, we would not barter our experi­ ences, our memories, the fruit of years, tor all the beauty youth can boast. Those who earn their bread have a feeling that age disables them in the eyes of the world, and diminishes their chances of obtaining a livelihood; others, who have been used to being merely ornamental, to being admired and complimented upon the very charms of which age divests us, cannot endure its approach with equanimity, rebel against being supplanted by younger people, against being laid upon the shelf like a book that has out­ grown its iutcrest, and they endeavor to repel it by a, .thousand arts-and cos­ metics. They are afraid to grow old, and fear is always ungraceful. But has age no advantages, no comeliness, no attractions? Hsis not the oM person weathered many a dangerous point? Has she not survived many a vanity, many a heart-achf r Has she not learned to live from day to day, to find pleasure in trifles, to suffer without; whining? Has she not the monopoly of giving advice? Is not her conversa­ tion as interesting as a historical ro­ mance? Could any other make the past defile before us as in a magic mirror? Who can tell us so faithfully as she of the manners and customs of fifty years ago--how the hair was worn, the gown cut? Is she not an encyclo pedia of the details which go to make up history? Does anyone elbow or contradict her, or tell her that her problems are all unproved, and her en­ thusiasms only unripeness? No pre­ cious possibilities keep her restless. She is acquainted with youth no less than with age, and claims the advan­ tage of having seen them both, near at hand and in perspective. Her work is done and harvested; and though she may regret the time when she bore the burden and heat of the <lay, yet what has she to dread from frost or blight? Moreover, does not age have the arm­ chair, and the seat in the horse-cars? Harper's Bazar. --When the officers of the Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., received from an unknown man in Philadel- Chia a draft for $25,000 on a New York ank, they supposed somebody was im­ posing upon them. They made inqui­ ries in business circles in Boston and searched the Philadelphia Directory, but could not find his name. They then ventured to send the draft to the New York bank, and it was cashed at once to their surprise. The giver bad never been a student at Andover, and little is known of him beyond his name and that he is an old man.

In these days of raging thermometers and busy Cor­ oners it is fraught with peril. It amazes us, sometimes, to think how long the people of America have been permit­ ted to go on dallying with this living death, unwarned by the monitions of science. It is seldom that scientific men have been so criminally negligent as they have shown themselves to be in this matter of iced tea. They have been prompt enough to warn us of the poi­ sonous qualities of everything else we like to eat and drink, until they have about blotted out everything fit to eat or drink from the bill of fare, and starved us do*"n to a bran-bread, diet, arid acw comes along Dr. Holland, in Scribner for July, and assures us that the Gra­ ham system of diet starves more,^5ew Englanders to death in six months^thajy die from all other causes in a year. Blessed be the name of Dr. Holland for that statement. He doesn't put it quite so strongly as that, but that is the way we believe it. Scientific men, learned men in the professions, have compelled us to drop the luscious straw­ berry in terror, by screaming out to us that it would give us the hydrophobia. They have made us heartsick with ap­ prehension by showing that the tempt­ ing peach in our hands was reeking with the deadly prussic-acid. They; have filled our ice-cream with poison­ ous impurities. They have forbidden us to drink water that has passed through iron pipes or lead pipes, or that has stood in a wooden vessel, or lain in a cemented cistern, or If j§pled from the rock of the hillside, impreg­ nated with heaven and chemistry only know what awful substances, until one restriction after another has made it the only safe way for a man to get a drink oi water, for him to lie down on his back, open his mouth and wait for the shower. Science has kindly warned us of the death that lurks in the coffee- cup. The cup that blesses the breakfast- table impairs the digestion. Large dosea of it produce palpitation of the heart. It is adulterated with Venetian red and natiqe sesquioxide of iron. It has also warned us against the use of warm tea, bread and butter, meat, vegetables, fruit, grain, roots, berries, milk and similar articles of food. Singular enough, science has not vet assailed iced tea. But it will not do to permit people to enjoy this cool, delightful beverage, sim ply because its taste is grateful to the duty, thoug science may shrink from it, and the wearied svstem during this scorching weather. We must do our duty, thou, people may cry out against us. There is danger in iced tea, and if you would live long and well, shun the cooling cup. We have not the space to devote to an extended discussion of this mat­ ter, and can only cite a few instances from a long series of carefully made experiments, which cannot fail to carry conviction to the most incredulous mind. On June 10th, of this year, John C. Hempstead, of West Ilill, began to drink iced tea at dinner and supper. He kept up this practice for nearly three weeks, and tnen one day, going dojflra the Division street steps, he slip­ ped and fell, abrading the skin on both legs, and running a sliver into the ball of his thumb so far that it made his teeth ache when he pulled it out. His clothing was also considerably torn. When he went home that evening he learned that his oldest boy had l>een whipped at school for sticking a pin as far through another boy as the head would let it go. He was warned to quit drinking Iced tea, but he persisted in the practice and he is now sleeping in the valley, between West and North Hill, where he lives, and says he never felt so well in his life. But maybe he lies about it. Henry Esterfeldt, of Eighth streefc drank iced tea regularly every summer for three years. lie noticed that after drinking it about two months, his boots began to run over at the heel. He per­ sisted, and one Sunday afternoon while he was out driving, his horse ran away and smashed seventeen dollars out of a borrowed buggy. He paid the money, but neglected the warning. He went on drinking iced tea, and in less than six weeks somebody poisoned his dog. These statements can all be verified by Writing to Mr. Esterfcldts who is now living in Kansas City, the father of eleven children, all of whom inherit their father's vice. A young woman, who did plain sew­ ing in this city, while employed in the family of Ralph Henderson, of Mapie street, became addicted, during the summer, to the use of iced tea. She soon ran a sewing-machine needle through her thumb, and for many days, whenever she picked up a cup of iced tea a sharp pain ran through her thumb. She refused to obey the warn­ ing, however, and in six weeks she was carried away. The man who carried her away married her first, and they are now living in Sagetown. Last week, at the beginning of the heated term, two eminent scientific fentlemen of Burlington took a strong, ealthy, black-and-tan dog, and im­ mersed him in a tub of pure cistern water, into which a weak solution of iced tea had been poured. They held the dog's head under the water fifteen minhtes, although he struggled vio­ lently, thus showing the natural and instinctive averson to a substance which intelligent human beings blindly and eagerly drink, and when the gen­ tleman took him out of the tub he was quite dead. If a tea-cup full of weak iced tea, in a tub full of water will kill a dog, think for yourselves what must be the effect of a strong, undiluted cup of this decoction upon the system of a weak woman. Last summer, a lumber puller in the employ of F. T. Parsons & Co., of this city, declared *that he could live on iced tea. Before he had time to go up to his boarding-house, however, he feU off the raft upon which he was at work, and drowned. A single drop of iced tea poured upon the tongue of a living rattlesnake, will produce the most startling effect, instantly causing the man who ad­ ministers it to fly for his life, and his life will be in imminent danger, unless he distances the'snake before the first turn. Eleven grains of strychnine, mixed in a tablespoonful of iced tea, will kill the oldest man in America. These instances and facts might be multiplied by scores. We have said enough, however, to warn every person of the danger that lies in the tempting foblet of iced tea. If suffering and eath ensue from its continued use, the Hawk-Bye feels that it has done its duty and washes its hands of all responsibil­ ity in the matter.--Burlington Hawfoi A horse with a snake in his eye was in town last week on exhibition at the stables of the Knapp House. The rep­ tile is comfortably located in the watery humor of the left eye, is perfectly y-v4p litV«,|f <5 1 1..^, .. the size of an ordinary darning needle. It is plainly visible, and is constantly on the move, wriggling and twisting in every direction. Its presence does not seem to annoy the horse in the least, and has evidently created no inflamma­ tion in or about the eye. It has, how­ ever, changed the color of the eyeball, which is of a lighter shade than that of the right eye, and has affected the sight somewhat.'
