One who is familiar with nearly all the winter wheat growing region, reports that the splendid ytela and handsome profit which came of the exceptional winter wheat crop of 1-877, set farmers nearly crazy on the subject of wheat, and every acre of land that could possibly be seeded was sown last fall.--Register. THE cheapness of farm crops affords no argument in favor of the farmer re­ tiring from active operations. The smaller the profits--so long as there are profits--the stronger is the argu­ ment for increasing our crop areas. If we get little profit from one acre we may still derive a, satisfactory year's income by cultivating many acres. The smaller the profits the more the farmer must work to earn them. NOT by the sneer of the youny *lady who puts on style, nor by the contempt for plain manners by the fast young man who is spending his father's es tate, should agriculture be judged. But by the safety of the investments in such business--the healthiness of the em plovmcnt, its influence on tue morals fond well being of society, the habits pf industry inculcated, and the rich lessons of self-reliance taught. ---Iowa Stale Register. How TO MAKE A KITE.--Get a straight grained pine stick three-quar­ ters of an inch wide, one-quarter thick, and fow feet long. Next procure a good ash hoop, split it and have it the same lerogth as the piece of pine nearly. Find the center of the hoop and fasten lit at that point to the straight stick about an inch from the end. This may be done by lacing it with strong twine. Cut a »otch in each end of the hoop. Tie a strong string to the end of the hoop, pass it around the pine stick, then fasten it to the other end of the hoop and draw the ends of the hoop together so the top Will be round of good shape. Then pass the string to the long end of the stick, through a hole bored for it, to the <end of tne hoop where it was first fastened, and secure it. This makes the frame. It may be covered with pa­ per, but thin glazed cotton cloth is bet­ ter. Lay the frame on the material and cut out the covering, leaving about an inch all around. Then paste the edge of the paper or cloth, bri&g it over the frame and see that it is fasten­ ed all around. When it is dry the belly- band may be put on. Bore two holes through the back-piece, each one-third of the way from the end, and put through a string knotted at each end with a loop in it to which to fasten the fly-string. The tail should be about twelve times as long as the kite. The bobs of the tail should consist of paper about three inches long and an inch and a half broad, folded four times and tied on the string of the tall about three inches apart. If the kite dives, r.dd to. the - eight of tho tail. If it re­ fuses to fly, lighten it Attach the fly- string aart let it go. r ^ enriched with old barn-yard ra should be laid off about forty inehm Kppft, with a shovel ptow or simitar ijpglemfnt. The hps are then to be smoothed down sotney tnav bfc flat Mid square, and, if some special fertiliser is used, this should be well worked in. It is essential^ however, that the soil be iju. the best possible tilth, since all the labor spent in preparing tke soil before planting is amply repltit in the after cultivation of theplants. When the plants are set, cut-worms and other vegetable-eating insects should be looked after. If the land be prepared some time before planting we have known the hills to be sown with squash or cucumber seeds. These will appear above ground before the to- hsu'on is the cut-worms attack­ ing these plants, they are easily killed, and thus the tobacco crop often saved from their depredations. Among the inanures that we have tried as special fertilizers in the hill, ground raw bone, treated with ashes, is one of the best. This special manuring, in addition to the general manuring, is important. Whatever the manure used be. whether guano, super-phosphate, blood manure or other fertilizer containing any of the niter compounds, the labor of raising large, healthy plants is the same as that of raising inferior ones. Plaster has also been found a most valuable aid in the cultivation of tobacco. Whether manure is or is not worked into the hill, care should be taken that they are not made too high. They should not be wised more than one or two inches above the general level of the land. Transplanting may be done at any time, if the plants are watered when set. It will not suffice to pour a little water about the plants after setting; this quickly dries, and often does not reach the roots at all. A better plan is to make a depression in the hill be­ fore planting, into this pour from a half pint to a pint of water. When this sinks away, set the plant and draw dry earth over all. Another good way --and this will apply to all plants that are considerably checked in transplant ing--is to set the plant, pour a little water in the hollow about the roots, and draw the dry earth over when the water has settled away. It is quickly done, requires but little water, and pre­ vents undue evaporation at the surface. If this be not feasible, select a moist, cloudy time for transplanting; bat it should not be done when the soil is wet. --Prairie Farmer. are stamped with my name In falls othera are onTATiowa.

MANY persons, especially new begin­ ners, commit mistakes in early plant- ins of tender plants, and the rule will hold good of the whole category, in­ cluding tobacco. If the plants ails not absolutely frozen, they are often so chilled by eold storms that they never recover or only so partially, and seri­ ously reduce the outcome of the crop. In the latitude ©f Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, it is not safe to transplant before the last week in May, and the transplanting may be success­ fully followed until June 10 to 15. Regular tobacco growers well under­ stand the proper time to transplant, and are very properly guided by the season. Many farmers, however, now cultivate more or less tobacco for home use, and with this class, the plants had better be retained until the nights as well as the days are permanently warm. This class of planters can also care for their plants in their nursery beds, so that at planting time they will not only be well grown but of a uniform size. In the cultivation of tobacco it is es­ sential that the soil be as rich as pos­ sible. Nitrogen in some form is es­ sential to success. Hence horse ma­ nure, in which the ammonia has beeD fixed, has been found one of the best manures for this crop. The land can­ not be too rich. Soil is also an im­ portant consideration. The best is a firm, compaet, sandy soil, containing the elements of nutrition, and one that will stand drought well; and one at the same time, where the drainage is good. Tobacco cannot be grown on land that is liable to be water soaked. A soil containing an excess of vegetable mat­ ter produces an overgrown, coarse leaf; it ripens up too quickly, and is full of gum. If sand or gravel is in ex­ cess, the plant is apt to blister. When tobacco is planted in hills-- and this plan facilitates ease in cultiva­ tion--the land after being thoroughly Pluttif Otm Does Not Insure Ike Gathering. * 'limits farmers upon our broad Western prairies come as near, perhaps, gather­ ing the average crop, from year to year, without labor as any other peo­ ple, but it so happens that the crops which grow spontaneously are the most persistent enemies the slothful farmer has to contend with. In view of this, the prudent husbandman be­ gins away back at the time of the ripening and maturing of the seed germs, which constitute the incipient stages of the future crop, to gather up and keep in store the forces which shall combine to bring forth the desired re­ sults. Tlfi seed corn must not only be gathered as soon as it arrives at a state of maturity and placed in a state of perfect preservation, but the largest ana ripest ears must be selected, so that the quality of the succeeding crops may in every particular be equal to the seed which produced it. After the seed has been secured in good order, as of the first importance, a place congenial must be provided in which to plant it. The cornfield may be either lar^e or small, with the improved machinery for the cultivation of corn, according to the skill of the farmer, or to the ex­ tent which he understands all the con­ ditions and requirements of this re­ dundant plant. Other crops may be poisoned and ruined by an over-supply of some kinds of manures, while the corn grows apaoe and delights in the abundant richness. Soils -can hardly be too fertile for this tropical plant. If the land is rich, it seems to contain all the elements for a heavy yield of grain. The land is not always fertile in the •iqualiliu; LLc best i'waits. It n>|ty have been vaginally so, but a suc­ cession of crops has exhausted it of the proper conditions, and the seed-eorn is seldom saved in the best manner; so we must take these things as we find them, as it is w near planting time now. After the wet, open winter which has passed, much of the land will be in­ clined to bake, m that the earlier the plowing is done Uie more time the soil will have to become subdued and as­ sume its normal ameliorated condition. The old idea of waiting until cern- planting time before plowing the ground to have a fresh place to plant in, is erroneous. Our advice is, to plow as soon as the .ground is in condi­ tion, if that odours in the month of March. If plowed so early, the ground becomes settled, packed down, and with a level and well pulverized surface, the planter may be passed over the ground with much less labor, and the seed corn placed at a uniform depth near the surface, so that it will germin­ ate with greater certainty, come up quicker and grow with more vigor than when placed at some indefinite distance beneath the surface. Such early plowed land holds the moisture better than that plowed later, and the atmosphere left to circulate through it. With good seed corn, the ground plowed and prepared in the proper manner, and the corn cultivated thor­ oughly before and soon after it comes up--the Western farmer seldom fails to realize a large yield of grain of^excel­ lent quality. Every J operation in the production of corn may be hurried ex­ cept in planting. We" do not think it pays to plant corn before the soil gets warm enough to sprout it readily, un­ less later than the middle of May, north of 41 degs. north latitude. There mil this year, no doubt, be much bad seed corn, as there has been in years past, and every precaution should be used to make good ttue deficiency that the in­ dividual failures, which so frequently occur, may be avoided.--Western Rural.

Habits of Bees. #*• ; " Naftnre affords but few moco depiaive evidences of the wisdom and benevo­ lence of the Creator, than may be ob­ served in the labor of bees. An ob­ server will scarcely know which most to admire, the wonderful manner in which these insects are adapted to their circumstances, or the industry, loyalty and sagacity which prevail among them. One of the most wonderful of the various employments of bees is the ven­ tilation of their abode. When you con­ sider the number contained in a hive, the closeness of the atmosphere and the small hole at which the air princi­ pally enters, you will readily conceive how soon it must be rendered unfit for respiration. What would you say should I tell you that the bees in such a case have recourse to the same instru­ ment which ladies use to cool them­ selves when a room is overheated? Yet it is strictly the case. The little creat­ ures unite their wings, so as to form a very proper sort of fan, and move them so rapidly that they can hardly be seen. When they are engaged in ventilating their hive, the bees, by meftns of their feet and claws, attach themselves as firmly as possible to the place they stand on. When one retires, another occupies its place, so that, in a hive well peopled, there is never any interruption of the humming sound occasioned by this action. When the bees begin to work'in their hives, they divide themselves into four companies; one company roves the fields in search of materials; another employs itself in laying out the bottom and partiti empf w never embarked ia any enterprise inking ho# much profit I eould make % it. My rufejiM leento * " for the 499MR, and to „ _ them, leaving the profits entirely out of the calculation. Many say profits can­ not be made in any business without risk. I have tried to act on a difHrerit My first inquiry always has lis or til partitions of their cells; a third is )loyed in smoothing the walls, and the fourth company brmgs food for the rest, or relieves those who return of their respective burdens. But they are not kept constantly to one employment: they often change the tasks assigned to them--those that have been at work being permitted to go abroad, and those that have been in the fields already take their places. They seem even to have signs by which they understand each other, foV when any of them want food, they bend down their trunk to the bee from whom it is expected, which then opens its honey-bag, letting some drops fall into the others mouth, which is at the time open to receive it. Their diligence and labor are so great that, in a day's time, they are able to make cells which lie upon each other numerous enough to contain 3,000 bees. In the plan Mid formation of these cells they discover a most wonderful sagacity. The danger of being stung by bees may be, in a great measure, prevented by a quiet, composed behavior whenev­ er in their neighborhood. A thousand bees will fly and buzz about a person without hurting him, if he stands per­ fectly still and forbears disturbing them, even when near the face. It is said that one may be in perfect safety in the midst of myriads of bees, if he "is care­ ful to keep his mouth shut and breathe gently through his nostrils only--the human breath, it would seem, is partic­ ularly offensive to their delicate organs But there is one silly practice to which, I am sorry to say, bees are quite as much addicted as certain weak minded mortals, and that is the practice of quarreling. On a fine summer's day, when the day is beautiful and the sun warm, duels may often be seen to take place between two inhabitants of the same hive. Sometimes the quarrel appears to have begun within, and the, combatants may be seen coming out of the gates eager " for blows. In some cases a bee, peaceably settled on the outside of the hive, is rudely jostled by another, and then the attack com­ mences, each endeavoring to obtain the most advantageous position. They turn, dance about, throttle each other, and such is their bitter earnestness, that a person can come very close to them without distracting their attention. After rolling about in the dirt, the victor watches the time when the enemy uncovers its body, thrusts in its sting, and the next instant its antagonist stretches out its quivering wings and expires. Sometimes the enemy 4s killed in the hive; then the victor al­ ways eat i lea the corpse out and leaves it. These combats are strictly duels, not more than tivo being concerned in them. I once lead this aueedotc, given as true', and related by a dealer in bees: *4 Early in the morning he noticed hos­ tile demonstrations between a swarm of bees from one side of his house against another swarm from the other side. He encased himself in leather for rotection, and watched them closely. £arly in the forenoon a battle was waged between the swarms. They flew toward each other, mingling to­ gether and fighting desperately. The ground was fairly black witli their dead. At the end of several hours' fighting, both swarms drew off, as if by mutual consent, but he noticed that both kept their cells guarded; at length this ceased, and all became quiet again." I have only room for one more inci­ dent: " In 1525 a mob of peasants at­ tempted to pillbge the house of a gen­ tleman in Germany, who, having in vain tried to prevent them, ordered his Beivants to bring his bee-hives and throw them into the midst of the angry multitude. The effect fully answered his expectations: the peasants wore im­ mediately put to flight, and happy were they who escaped unstung.'1 --iV. Y. f%K server. principle. been, if I put "money into' this 6r that venture, " Can I get it back again?' and if the answer seems doubtful I let it alone. I have never been led into speculation by the thought: there is but little risk, and if successful the profit is " great. And I have never lost in the end, on any business venture I have ever made." A good reputation, which never comes by luck, is to any business man a long step toward a fortune. The man who is considered honest by the people among whom he resides, and who is known for being prompt in nis pay­ ments, has a reputation that will serve him for business purposes, better than property serves one who is tricky and uncertain. But a good reputation does not come without being sought. It follows in the wake of honesty, integrity, moral­ ity; its foundation stones are right thoughts, which must come before ac­ tions or words, and which control them. We do not hold that there are no in­ stances where fortune in its various forms has not come to men without their seeking it. Many have stood in the way of circumstances and have been benefited by them, but what we would impress upon the minds of our readers is that he who waits for luck is usually disappointed. He who would win must work.--Rural New Yorker. Co.56ItaMtoSt.ILr viYtsicr ft till I will contract to prove Coftf and Mte- r awTko Land* *1* Q^iWnt. talijil $m 'put AtABDSiaicsulla.

It is certain that unconsciousness comes on more quickly when the per­ son is deprived of air because the lungs are filled with water, than when the air- passajresi are closed, while the lungs re­ main intact. Most persons can hold their breath for a minute, very many for a minute and a half, some for two minutes. In one of the variety thea­ ters of New York appeared recently " The Brilliant Pearl of the Enchanted Grotto, christened Undine, who per­ forms, while under water, incased in a mammoth crystal illuminated glass tank, feats of astonishing suppleness and almost unbelievable endurance.'* This performer can probably remain under water, holding her breath volun­ tarily, two minutes, and perhaps more, I have myself, watch in hand, seen Johnson, the celebrated ocean-swim­ mer, remain under water, in a tank be­ fore an audience, for the astonishing space of three minutes and twenty sec­ onds, and, before he rose, the involun­ tary contractions of his respiratory muscles were uncomfortable to witness. In such cases, although extreme dis­ tress may be felt, there is no approach to unconsciousness. But, if a person's head is under water, and he does not hold his breath, unconsciousness will usually coine on in one or two minutes at the farthest.--Dr. R. S. Tracy, in Popular-Science Monthly for May. •>,t WW \«.M Lack--Or Laboit T THEKE is an old saying, "Itif better to be born lucky than rich." We have little confidence in any luck that a man does not make for himself. And a man's luck, so-called, is often traceable to some act done, or to some point in his character, that has been carefully cultivated, not with reference to any particular transaction, but on general principles of proper conduct and growth. When one man succeeds by luck a hundred fail. Witness Wall- street transactions, or gsrfnblers any­ where--what is credited to luck is often due to caution. In conversation with a man well known in business circles in Boston, who is now the possessor of much worldly wealth, every dollar of which he has made for himself, he said: 1 --Flies toil not, neither do they spin, yet they have the first taste of all the, best gravies in the land. Jewels of the Crown o! Scotland. At Edinbursr, Scotland,, some years since, the Jewels of the Crown were locked in a box, that box in another, and so on, until they were supposed to be burglar-nroof. Tliey were then locked up in the vault of the caatle, there to remain for one hundred years, the keys being placed in a mortar and tired into the sea. Scarce fifty year# passed by, and the modern, lock-picker opens the vault and boxes without trouble. So the science of medicine, when studied with the aid of chemistry .and the mi­ croscope, becomes plain and simple, and dis­ eases that were regarded incurable a genera­ tion ago, now readily yield to remedies em­ ployed by the modern and progressive physi­ cian. A decade of years since, and women were taught to believe that their peculiat dis­ eases and weaknesses were incurable; but now hundreds and thousands ot once bed-ridden women in the United Stales will testify to the fact that Dr. Pierca's Favorite Prescription has effected their perfect and permanent cure.
