Mmmn- rtfâ€"n-c‘.‘ nmmWva‘ Home l’orAross.â€"The Ohio Farmer says: One of the secrets of success in potato grow- ing is in giving: them a hoeing at the proper stage of growth ; one hilling is sufiieient and this should be given when the vines are about six inches high. Previous to this use the cultivator freelyâ€"keep the earth loose on the surface and free from. weeds. When at the stage of growth mentioned, give a good billing, making the mound broad and flat on top and a little cupping; after this do no more than to cut out weeds. The hoc- ing is best done soon after a rain. Some ad- vocate flat culture and others two hillings, but we have never succeeded with either of , those plans nor do the most successful potato ‘ growers advocate them. Two hillings will: make two settings, and result in a large ‘ number of small potatoes at harvest time. Flat culture may do on a deep loamy soil where the roots may ramify and form tubers readily, but a clay soil hillingm the old- farhioned way, is the one most certain to make good returns. WHEN To Our WrrsAr.â€"â€"â€"'l‘hc Germantown Telegraph gives the following directions: There has been some‘diversity of opinion as to the best time to cut wheat, judging from the common practice of farmers. It is gener- ally cut when dead ripe, or at least when the grain has become hard. This is no doubt an erronand one of more importance than many suppose. It should be remembered that wheat is composed of gluten, starch and bran. Gluten is the nourishing quality of the grain, makes the flour stick together in the hands of the baker, and gives weight to the grainâ€"and there is the greatest quantity of gluten in the grain just when the straw is yellow two or three joints from the ground, the head turns downward, and you can mash a grain between your thumb and finger with- out producing any milk. It may therefore be set down as an indisputable truth that every day the wheat stands after this stage of its ripeness, the gluten decreases in quan- tity and the braninereascs in thickness. CARE or FARM TOOLS â€"The Bowling Green flcmocrat says : We suggest to farmers the importance of remembering that the injury done to hand tools and implements by long exposure to rain and sunshine amounts to more than the wear and tear._ Flows and hand hoes are frequently lelt covered with wet earth pressed down on the surface, thus facilitating the formation of a thick scale of rust which wears out the steel and makes the tools unaccountany hard. It should be one of the.inflexihle rules of the farm and garden to wipe the bright surfaces of all tools clean, and cover the parts with any kind of oil grease that contain 1:0 saline matter. The wood work 0f|hand tools and implements even when painted, is often seriously injured by rains, (lows and sunshine. Water and dampnesswlll raise the grain in timber, setâ€" tle in the joints, crack the surface, and warn. contract and twist the woodm parts to such an extent as to cause more damage than all the work that had been done with it.

Buttcifield, the largest Cashmere goat importer and grower in the State 3 and also of Cotswold, Lincoln,Leiâ€" cester, Tcxcl and South Down sheep. From him we learn of the continued and complete success of the Angora goats, the pure bloods as well as the grades with the common goats. Of the latter, he estimates there are now in the State about 40,000, ranging from three- fourths to nearly full, or 63-64 of pure blood. of full bloods he estimates the number in the State last fall at about 250, increased kids of last Winter, 70, making about 350 in all. The demand for full bloods is con- stantly on the increase, and parties from all parts of the Pacific coast are making inqui- ries concerning them. The yield is from 4 to 7 pounds, worth from 40 to 80 cents a pound for the lower grades. and from 80 cents to $1.25 a pound for luil blood wool. l’RanMs ron SCALI‘S or WILD ANIMALS.â€" The Board of Managers of the Oregon State Agricultural Society offer the following pre- miums, to be awarded at the annual litll‘ in October next: A premium of $50 to the per- son producing the highest number not less than 1,000 g and to the person producing the next highest number not less than 500, $25 ; and to the person producing the next highest number not less than 250, $10 ; and to the person producing the next largest number not less than 100, $5 ; and to the person pro- ducing the next largest number not less than 75, $2.50 ; and to the person producing the next largest number not less than 50, $1.50 ; and the next six highest numbers $1.00 each.

(NB. He mar- ried his housekeeper next wlek, and she is mature enough for Mathusaleh himself). Everybody thought I was trying :1 dan- gerous experiment; but I didn’t pretend to suit. everybody, so I simply suited myself. 1 went quietly to church with Clara Myers, and married he: one glorious January morn- ing, when the old St. Paul’s was fringed with glittering icicles, and the brisk wind was freighted with the particles of flying snow, like a battalion of diamonds on a dou- ble quick. She was nineteen, and I was nine-and- thiriy. She was as beautiful as a rosebud ; I was a rough old codgcr, sound enough at heart, but, like a. winter apple, unpromising on the exterior. In short, we were as unlike as May and Nov: mber; and the good natured world shook its head, and said, “ No good could come of such an unequal match.” But she said she loved me, and I believed her. No- body could look into Clara’s blue eyes and not believe her, you see. ' “The next day' fmade a will and bequeathed all my property unconditiqnglly to my wife. “Are you sure you are doing a. wise thing, Mr. Folliot ‘2" said Mr. Mardyn, the lawyer, pushing his blue spectacles up on his foxe- head, until he looked like an old bald gnome, with a double pair of eyes. “You see she is very much younger than yourself, andâ€"’7 “Please be so kind as to mind your own business I” said I brusquely. “Don’t be of- fended, Mardyn, but realiy people sec-n: to suppose I am not able to attend to my own affairs.” “Just as rou Ilcasc 7’ said Maran in a 5 1 7 ' . rage. “I am a mere tool In your hands.” r Minibat’s it, exactly,” said I: So I signed the will and went home to Clara. “Oh, Paul! you must not die I" said Clara, with a scared lock, when I told her what I had done. “ Nobody ever loved me as truly as you have done, and 1 don’t know what I should do if you were taken away.” I‘ There was a Young Bin-mifigham, if all reports are trueâ€"4’ I mischievously began; but the curl on Clara’s lip stoppcfime. _ mid then she crichâ€"this foolish. soft- hearted little wife of mine, “ A mere bmterfly 1’ she sighed haughtily, “without either brains or principle, Pauli Paul! Ihave found a sheltrr in your true, loving heart, and I mean to nestle there always I" Jones and Tcwksberry might have called this policy. Farnum would have said it was acting. But it was very pleasant, and I felt more than over like a man who has found some precious Jewel and wears it like an amulet on his breast. 30 things went on until the firm of which I was managing parlncr needed to se d some one to Calcutta to see after a tulbancd sconndrel 9f an agent who had absconded with more money than we could well afford to lose. Morrisson was old and feeble ; He- wi'ws wife lay very ill ; so I was the onc‘to go. I kissed Clara good-by as chcclfully as I could, lully expecting to be back in three months 0130.: I had to follow the agent up into the mountains of India. I fell ill of one of those burning climatic fevers in the bungalow of an old native priest, and the months flew by until it was more than a year before I found myself on the deck of ihe Blue-eyed Mary, steaming into New York harbor. Clara had heard nothing of me for nearly fifteen months. What might have happened in that time? All that 'l‘ewksbery, and Jones, and Allen, and all other prophetic ravens of my acquaintance had said, neurred to my mind like the burden of an uneasy dream. I had been counting the hours and the very minutes, until we could touch port; but now that my feet ranged once more upon the pavement of my native city, I actually dared not go home! 1 turned into a down- town restaurant, where I had been went to go in the days of my hachelorhood,and slunk into that dark corner. The twilight was just falling, and 1 was sheltered by the par- tition. Hush i That was Tewkshery’s voice -â€"-ha1‘sh and jarring as of old. And all this time Clara. had not heard a word from me. I had written to her to pre- pare her for what seemed almost like my rising from the dead; but I had alterwards found my letters in the pocket of the 110g- leLtful native servant who had undertaken to deliver the mail to the Calcutta oflicc. “ But it don’t matter so much now,” I thought; “ she will be more delighted, poor little girl I” and then a cold chill seemed to creep through all my veins, like November‘s wind suddenly breathing across a. bed of flowers. H Just whit might have been expected," said Tcwksbcry. “Pretty and young widows don’t gqrbcgginrg i_n thig mal'kethlf’n “ Folliot might have known itl ” growled old Farnum. “ 1’oor Folliot : There were some good points about him, too. Sad thing that, very sad thing! ” ‘ “ We must all die,” said Tewksbeiy gravely. “ Yes, but a. fellow would naturally prefer dying in his bed to being carried off by an East Indian fever and buried in the jungles.” HOW I ever got into the roomâ€"how I managed to make Clara comprehend that I I shuddercd. Had I come home t6 my own funeral as it were ? “And she is going to marry young Bir- mingham, after all I” added Farnum. The paper dropped from my hand. “I could have told Folliot so when I lound out what a. confounded idiotic will he had made,” said Tcwksbery. “ So gold has fallen again. Just my luck; I sold out toâ€" day.” “’My answer is final,” she replied. “The time might once have been when I had a childish liking for you, Hurry Birmingham. But that time has long since passed away. I gave my heart to the best and noblest man that ever breathed, Paul Folliot, and in his grave it is forever buried. I loved. him once ; I ehall love him on into eternity; [never was half worthy of him, butâ€"” ’And Clara’s voice was choked with sobs. My love! my darling! my own precious wife I I staid to hear no more, but staggered out into the darkness with one idea whirling through my dizzy brainâ€"my Clam was mine no longer. It was questionable what ’l‘ewksbery had said. I might have anticipated some such end. She was too young, too lovely, for such a. rough fellow as 1 was “My widow I” what a curious sensation. the words gave as I mentally pronounced them. Under my own windows, with the ruby red light shining under the wine-colored damask curtains, I stood there feeling as Rip Van Winkle might have felt in the play-â€" like a dead man walking on the earth once more. Voices and lights were within. I opened the door softly and crept-into the hall. The drawing-room door was ajar. Clara herself stood heiore the fire, with a {rill of white crepe on her auburn gold tressesâ€" the awful sign of her widowhood. Directly opposite stood Harry Birmingham looking diabolically young and handsome in the soft light. “ 011m», Claml" he cxicd, “you are surely not in earnest. You will reconsider?" MY WlDOW. was my own living self, and not a. ghost arisen from the shadow-of the sopulchre, I cannot tell to this day. Neither can she. But I know that young Birmingham some- how dxsappearcd, and I was standing with Clara clasped to my breast, the happiest man that ever breathed God's blessed air‘ For Jones, Tewksbery, Farnum 8; Co. were all wiong; and, to use the words of the orthodox iairy stories, slightly para- phrased, I and my widow “lived happy ever afterward.’ â€"-The entire police force of a city in Con- necticut resigned recently in a body.

They were sitting on a rock in the lakeâ€"the wo- man with a handkerchief over her head. One Palmer, 3 guide, with a companion was rowing across the lake, and noticing the white handkerchief, inquired what it was. The opinion was given that it was a. gull, when Palmer, replying that he would soon decide, drew up his rifle and fired. The distance was somewhat greater than he had thought, and the ball falling struck the wo- man in the breast, ki ling her almost in- stantly. Palmer is said to have become almost insane at the result 0! his shot. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes: A gentleman from the North of England, who has large business transactions with Hanover, Hamburg, and other Conti- nental cities, took passage on his return journey for Dover, from Ostend, by the eight o’clock boat on Saturday evening. During the passage his attention was attracted by the demeanor of two gentlemenâ€"one adâ€" vanced in years, and the other aged between twentyâ€"four and twenty-six. Both seemed exceedingly depressed. He spoke to them, but neither could understand a word of Eng- lish. On addressing them in French, he found that they were in pursuit of two young ladiesâ€"one married and the other singleâ€"- ‘ who had left their homes in Antwerp the day 1 before. One of the fugitives was the daugh- 1 ter of the old gentleman and the wife of the companion of her flight was her cousin. The young people had been married only a twelvemonth, and some little difi'erenees had taken place. The cousin of the young lady was also unhappy in her home. Her father has married three times, and she smarth under the control of her second stepmother. Gifted with many personal charms, and pos- sessed of a rich musical and well-cultivated voice, she formed the idea that if she could get to London she would make her fortune as a singer. When the young wife confided her domestic differences to this en- thusiastic relative, the latter suggested, and ultimately both resolved on, proceeding to London. The boat was late in arriving at Dover, and the travelers did not catch the 1.40 am. train to town. This was to some extent an advantage, as it afforded time for inquiries in Dover. But the Bel ians, in their eagerness, were nearly thrown off the scent. A Frenchman at the steamboat pier answered in the aliirmative to almost all of their leading questions as to whether he had seen two young ladies, of whOm they gave the descriptions. He brought them to a French hotel, to which he said they had gone, but on inquiry at the house it was found that the information was false. The facts came to the knowledge of a member of a leading firm of corn merchants in Marklane, who entered earnestly into the task of tracing the path of the fugitives. 0n arriving at Charng Cross it was ascertained that no ladies answering the description had reached that terminus. The father and husband were disposed to give up the search, believing that the young ladies had gone to Paris. ’J‘heir English friends, however (the gentleman who had noticed his follow.trave1ers in the boat was giving his assistance), though differently, and eventually the fugitives were discovered, and last night took the train for Ostend, under the guardianship- of their rightful protectors. A party of immigrants, from Shetland Islands, numbering about one hundrtd and forty, including men, women and children, arrived here last Thursday in the steamer Rot/resag. They were in charge of Mr. An- derson, a. countryman of their own, who was commisiened last spring by the directors of the Rivierc du Loup Railway Company to act as their agent, and make such advanta- geous offers of immediate employment on the Railway work, with the ulterior ob- ject 01 making this country their permanent home, as would secure the services of me- chanics and laborers. So far Mr. Anderson has been successful. We believe a more in- telligent, robust, and active looking body of peopze than these Shetlandch have sehkm landed on our shores, and they bear unmisâ€" takable evidence, if so disposed, of hcwing out homes that will not only in a. short time render them independent, but also aid mate- rially in the prosperity 01 the Providence. ‘ The climate, social habits, and laborious pursuits incident to their native land, have well qualified them to become thrifty and energetic settlers in New Brunswick.

They are distant about 150 miles from the headlanb of Buch- anness on the coast of Aberdeen, and nearly 100 miles beyond the centxc of the Orkney Islands. The Shetlands consist of ninety islands, islets, holms, and skeiries, about thirty of which are inhabited ; the remainder are either small verdant isles, on which cattle and sheep are pasturcd, or sterile masses of rock.

REPAIRING Howsâ€"A correspondent of the Rural New Yorker suggests thatib is cheaper and better to haul gravel to 1'( pair a road, after the road-bed is properly constructed, than to plow and scrape and pile up dirt in the center thereof. A low loads of gravel, a. few furrows to let the water off, leaving the grassy roadsides undisturbed, is the best way of mending highways that I have ever known. If it is a stone country, stone broken fine may be substituted for gravel. There is a great deal of labor wasted on roads and not half enough applied as it should be. Provide for keeping the water out of the roadway, and a. bed of good wear- ing material for it, and we may soon have good roads at all seasons 0! the year. APPLETON KNITTING MAcnIxE Conner.â€" We call attention to an advertisement con- taining interesting information with regard to the business of the Appleton Machine Company. It alsocontains an illustration of their ingenious Knitting Machine, which is a marvellous little automaton in the (use and completeness of its working. Their machine is very simple in construction, re- quiring but little skill to understand, and not liable to get out of repair. It performs all the work of larger, more complicated and more expensive machines, and would be a very valuable article in the economy of every household. The factory of the Company is on Simcoe street, Hamilton, and is fitted up with a; very complete assortment of laborâ€" saving machines of most ingenious construc- tion. Once the Appleton Kiuitting Machine comes to be generally known, we venture to predict that the demand for it will be very great. â€"â€"â€"The celebrated lion from which Land- seer took his models for Nelson’s monument in London, has just died at ' the Zoological Gardens, aged 22. -â€"'1‘he St. Albans (Vt.)
