The obstruction--invariably in his Expe­ rience--moves one way or the other in a very few minutes. THE roots of olover haH a NATURAL tendency to decompose after having produced the plant in perfection, ana it is the effect of this decomposition that renders a crop of clover so good a preparation for the growth of wheat. Decay ever furnishes regenerative food, while the roots pierce and divide the soil, loosening the ground. GREEN PEASE.--One would scarcely think that a few hours' standing could make such a difference as it does in the flavor of green peaste. Those who are obliged to buy them, or go without, must submit to losing some of the sweetness and delicious flavor, but those who raise them frequently suffer quite as much loss through ignorance or carelessness. It should be remembered that each hour that elapses bet ween the picking and cooking of graea pease detracts from their quality. Another error which people often make is wash­ ing them after shelling, instead of be­ fore. If they are clean to begin with, and are properly handled, there will be no occasion for deluging with water and soaking the sweetness and flavor away from the contents of so dainty a covering as they rejoice in. Pease should be picked, washed and shelled only as short a time as possible before cooking; if the shelling cannot be con­ veniently delayed until a late hour, cover tnem with some of the pods until wanted, then throw them into just enough boiling water to 000k, and cov­ er lightly with the pods. When they have cooked twenty minutes remove the latter, and put mto the saucepan a very little sugar, a spoonful of butter, pepper and ^alt to taste, and some sweet cream, or in lien of the latter use rich milk with a very little corn starch dissolved in it. " 1 Intelligent Farmiam > , x WHILE the average farmer has per­ haps been as willing to learn aad has been as apt a scholar as any engaged in any other calling, it is nevertheless a fact, that, sharing the universal prej­ udice against innovations upon estab­ lished usages, he has suffered serious defeats and immense losses. It is not many years since book-farming was scouted and book-farmers scorned; and yet there is no pursuit in the world more dependent upon book knowledge for complete and certain success than the pursuit of agriculture. This old prejudice has cost the individual farmer of this country large fortunes, and has resulted in a loss of millions upon mill­ ions of dollars to the country. But for its existence very much of the land which has been exhausted of those ele­ ments accessary for the production of wheat would to-day be producing as much of that cereal as the very best of our nr »v I.!;*Js. There are tliOu»a.mls of farmers in our Eastern States even liow throwing away their time and ex­ hausting their energies in producing only ten to twelve bushels cf wheat to the acre, because they lack knowledge of the elements necessary for wheat production and of the particular defi­ ciency of the soil. They perhaps fer­ tilize year after year, but without in­ creasing the yield a particle, and they cannot understand it. Barnyard ma­ nure must be good; lime must be good; ashes must be good; plaster must be good, they argue, and one or the other is applied bounti­ fully as regularly as the seasons come round. True enough, they are all good, but if your soii lacks suflicient lime, barnyard manure a foot thick would not increase your yield of wheat, if that were all the soil lacked, and an application of lime to a soil which al­ ready contained a sufficient supply would result perhaps in a larger crop of straw, but in no increase of grain. Many a man looks >^ith great satisfac­ tion upon his yield of thrifty wheat, and attributes its superior growth to a generous application of some special fertilizer, but finds at last that his har­ vest is principally straw. The trouble is he is not sufficiently posted as to the nature of the food required by his wheat, and of the exact nature^ of the exhaustion of the soil. Even in New England, where the production of wheat was almost entirely given up at one time, aij intelligent system of fertiliz­ ing--the application of book knowledge to agriculture--has enabled the New England farmer to produce a very rts- speetable crop of wheat. If such a re­ sult is possible under such adverse cir­ cumstances as those naturally existing in New England, it should be sufficient to teach us of the West a much needed and practical lesson; for while we think that we have made rapid strides in ad­ vancement and are conducting our ag­ riculture according to a highly intelli­ gent system--which indeed is largely true--the fact that our wheat belt is constantly moving westward still stares us in the face. And it is absolutely certain that unless we act more ration­ ally and more intelligently than we have, the time must come some time when this country will cease to produce wheat. As a matter of course if such a time should come, necessity will drive us to toe acquirement of the knowledge nec­ essary for the proper improvement of the land, and having returned to it that of which it has been so recklessly ex­ hausted* wheat will again be produced. But why wait for this possible emer­ gency? Why suffer the loss which must necessarily attend such suicidal policy? Why not begin now with our present exhausted soils, and bring them immediately into a wheat-pro­ ducing condition We speak of wheat; especially, because that crop seems to be the oan,icn]ar ens which. v.*c hr.vc run wild upon, but the same blunder­ ing which has made it impossible to profitably grow wheat in former wheat- producing sections, will finally make it as impossible to profitably grow any crop. Our naturally rich soils and the great extent of our territory make it almost impossible for us to realiste such a thing.

The fact is that the time is passed when the idea tliat anybody can be a fanner should prevail. This idea has made thousands of very poor farmers, and has tilled the professions with thousands of very inferior members. There are many miserable lawyers, doctors and ministers, who would have made capital farmers, but the idea that education and farming were incompati­ ble drove them from the farm, and a failure in life is the result. Thorough education is necessary upon the farm, and every new facility for imparting education to farmers should be hailed with|oy.-- Western Rural. Shoeing the Horn., t . f H-ifatsu •• ' •' . it- -I. A MATTER of particular interest to the horse and Ms owner is the manner of Shoeing. Horse-shoeing, like every other trade or business, has men en­ gaged in it who if they .are not better fitted for anything else, are certainly good for nothing. As it cannot be ex­ pected that the shoer can always be de­ pended on, and as we are as likely as not to strike one who cannot be, the very first time the horse is taken to be shod, everv horse owner should know generally liow a horse should be shod, and should then demand that it should be properly done, so far as his knowl­ edge can dictate. The Rev. W. H. H. Murray, who is fully as well posted on the horse as he is on theology, says this about shoeing the horse: We have frequently referred to the correct principle of horse-shoeing; but there are many matters of detail that, if overlooked, will spoil the best of principles ever laid down. The nails should bo quite small, and driven in more gently than is the custom. There is no reason why the smith should strike a blow at the little nail-head as strong as he would deliver at the head of a spike in an oak-beam. The hoof of the horse is not an oak-stick, and the deli­ cately-pointed and slenderly-headed nail is not a wrought-iron spike; and yet you will see the nailer whack away at them as if it was a matter of life and death to get them entirely set in at two blows of his hammer. Insist that the nailer shall drive his nails slowly and, steadily, instead of using violence. In this case, if his nail is badly pointed and gets out of the proper line of, di­ rection, no great injury is done. It can be withdrawn, and a new one sub­ stituted without harm having been done the foot. But the swift, blind and vio­ lent way prevents all such care, and exposes the horse to temporary if not permanent injury. Gentleness should be exercised in clinching the nail. Never allow a smith to touch a rasp to the outer sur­ face of the hoof. Nature has covered it with a thin filiment of enamel, the object of which is to protect the inner membrance and fiber from exposure to water or atmosphere. This enamel is exactly what Nature puts onto the sur­ face of your finger-nail, reader. Under no circumstances should it ever be touched. If it is removed, Nature will be wickedly deprived of her needed covering, and cruclly left exposed to the elements. It %vill be a great service to the smith, and a wise measure of assurance for yourself, to insist also that he use only the best nails; that is, a nail made in the right way from the best material. Western Rural. Pollinf His Sister's Hair. PESTERING at home is a bad habit, at best. The pesterer may mistake other people for his relatives, sometimes. Then it is awkward, very. A Cincin­ nati paper illustrates: Young Schrobiker was going along Fourth street the other morning, when he saw a lady in front of him, with & braid hanging down her back. "Umph! Well, if that aint my Sis­ ter Kate!M he mused. " Wonder where she's bound for?" and reaching for­ ward, he z&w the braid a quick, hard pull. There was a surprise; but it was dif­ ferent from the one he had planned for. A woman with black eyes, snapping like a bonfire, threw up her hbncfs to catch her falling switch, and then turned round and gave him a look that made his bones ache. And when he saw that it was not his sister, but a frantic-looking woman whom he had never seen before, he felt that he would willingly give himself for a cancelled postage-stamp, and consider it a tip­ top bargain. He blushed, and mum­ bled, and bowed, and stared, and chat­ tered out an incoherent apology that he had made a mistake, and that he thought sttre she was his sister, and all that; but no words could appease the wrath of the woman who had been insulted in that shameless and public manner, and the words of vitriol she dashed upon him as he beat a retreat around the corner, are burning in his ears yet. It is safe to predict that Mr. Sclrrobi- ker will never mistake another woman for his sister without first assuring himself that she is not armed with black eyes liae daggers, and a tongue like a razor. - * .BABIES are too highly prized to permit then to'suiter with Colic, Flatulence, etc., whet l>r.
