I have handled grain loose and will 'tell what I know about it, says an Idaho 'farmer. In the first place, grain can be put up loose as cheaply ns hound, even if the twine wrro furnished free. Wo cut lour grain with a Bide delivery, self rako machine. We use wooden bnrley forks [for loading, and a basket rack for hauling. Two men drive the team and wagon idown through the field and take about 'eight rows at a time, throwing the gavels 'in the rnck. Wc start the rick about ten ior twelve feet stpiare, build it up to the (square nnd then start another bent bejbind that, topping out the first from the innrnnrl nn<1 #>/?? !???/* ? ***" ?2?'- ? vv/ii>iiauV| Iiiiiwill^; IIIU riVK HH long ns you like it. Stacking in this way makes it lintuly to pitch to tho thresher, iln threshing, a larger tnble than ordinarily ia used, and a table tender stands in the place of the band cutter. With a short, blunt tinted fork he passes the loose grain to the feeder. No more men tare needed on the stack than when the igrain is bound, and wc feed it to the inaichine just as fast. We handle wheat and |oats in this way, but for barley we use a |header. The barley forks wc use have a [handle about as long as a common fork, land wooden tines, slightly erooked, about |two aud a half feet long. N HARDINESS AND EOO PRODUCTION. In selecting a breed, but few seem to (consider hardiness. The object is usually to secure "the best, lnying breed," |without regard to conditions. It may be (that the best laying breed may fail entirely, owing to a slight fault in the construction of the poultry-house, and it |may happen that some despised breed, ilrnnnm Kn 1 * *?A .?uv?tu w w\i i/vuvi n?ni|Mai jur uiurKCt (than for eggs, may ho profitable eggIproducers when otlior breeds fail. l)isfcase is one of the great drawbacks to the [poultry business, and the breed that is 'hardy, and joems to endure the climate (well, iR the one that will lay the greater jnumber of eggs and yield the larger jproflt. Kut these conditions vary accordling to the location. A breed may be Jhardy in one section and not in another. [It may also stand close confinement well ion a light, Fandy soil and bo nttnekod by ;disease on a heavy, clay soil. In fact, so 11 . injany factors enter into the keeping of [poultry, and are to bo considered, that no two sections arc subject to the Raine natural laws. The first essential in a [breed is hardiness. A strong, healthy fowl is worth a whole flock of birds that ,are always droopy or non-productive, 110 v matter what the breed may be, and it is important that, when making n selection, the hardiness of the brood be carefully considered. n. .. I.IFTIXO PLANTS FOn WTNTETt. , Takiug up and potting geraniums and other bedding plants which fnrpners' wives and other amateurs wish to pre servo, snouiu no uone, siiys h. li. Fierce ~ jn the American Agriculturist, before the advent of cool, frosty weather, in order ;th?\? some root growth enn be made before winter. As generally managed, the work is deferred to the latest possible moment, and then the plants are kept in a hall-way or ou the porch until the snows of early November alarm the owner, and they are taken in. This treatment gives little or no opportunity !for the plants to make any progress in itlieir new position. The cold nights and occasional cold days keep the temperature of the soil in the pots much lower 'than it should be. Newly-potted plants irequire to be kept for at least two weeks iafter potting, in a room where the tcmipernture is above 55 degrees. IIow to get a geranium with roots sixteen inches dong into an eight or nine-inch pot is ofiten a pu '.zle to the amateur, but is easy jwlien one learns how. First put in an |inch of broken crocks for drainage and itben cover with a little coarse earth. irp..i,? ti.. _i._, a. _!_li t 1 ?*-*t j i ai\o uio jiiuii v JU uiu Il.irifl Willi roots hanging down, insert the roots in ;thc pot so the ends of most of the longest ones rest on the earth, give the plant a twist, lowering it a little at the same time, shake in some fine soil with the ileft hand, and repeat the operation until 'the roots are all in. The turning of the plant distributes the roots and "takes up :tbe slack" or surplus length. After a few trials the exj> 'reenter will be able to do it nicely w...iout cramming or crowding the roots. Do not keep newly potted plants too wet. cm/rrvATiNO tiir oahdev. , On so many farms the garden is ignored, as though planting the seed on that plot of land was all that was needed, so different from the remainder of the land. One of the most important items in having a good garden is to give thorough cultivation, yet it is not best to stir the soil when it is wet or stiff. One very important item is to keep the soil in a good tilth, and if this is done it will he necessary to stir the soil only when it is in a good condition, if too wet it will .break on in ln'nns or work off allot from the tools. It is very difficult to work a soil in this condition into a proper tilth. The cultivation should begin as soon as possihlo nftcr the seed is planted, yet it will rarely pay to attempt cultivation when the soil is wet. The weeds must, of course, 1m? kept down, and they arc much easier destroyed when small than at any other time. The soil should not be allowed to form a crust or bake on the surface, as this retards eonsid' rably the .growth and thrift, of the plants. Crisp and tender vegetables arc only possible by securing a rapid, vigorous growth, and one of th?; most important items in secur- ! ing this is in keeping the soil in a good tilth by frequent cultivation. Keep the ' ?irfacc Jtvel. Tho hoc and the rake ran j unv.4 vv 0WU QUTnui^v JU uriijm^ uie J oil and destroying the weeds between the plants, while tbQ garden "plow and cultivator can be used in cleaning out between. And tho cultivation should l? repeated sufficiently often to keep the aoil ( tine and mellow. Another .advantage in keeping tho soil in a good tilth during the growth of the plants, and that is that it will be iu a much better condition for the crops that are to follow. TYith tho earlier crops of lettuce, radishes, peas and spinach* plant* of later varieties can be grown, either by. 1 ?.K., ovwiu^ iuu nrv^i wuxriv iiiv uiu iv grow, or setting the plants, the finishing cultivation of the one enn be made to answer as the first of the latter crop, while the soil is kept' occupied all through the season with a growing crop and both the labor of prepamtiou and cultivation is lessened.?Mail and Erj?rctt. POTATO HOT. The unusually.frequent and heavy rains this season, in large portions of the country, have been followed, as was expected, with an extensive prevalence of the potato rot. Inquiries are repeatedly made, what shall wo do about it? How can wesuve what there is left? In answer?dig them as soon as practicable, provided the soil is dry enough for them to come upclean. and without earth adhering to diem. Put them in a cool jfiuv.^,y ??urir iiii/uvi'itv; mi tuncuio nmjr pass up through thom. . We have for years used a coo! apartment in a barn, with a slatted floor next above the basement. The air can pass up from be'.ow. In such an apartment they may be deposited three or four feet in thickness. If the potatoes were clean when placed there, they have never rotted to any extent nfterward, although nearly one-half of portions of the crop had to be rejected and left in the field when they were dug. In the absence of such an apartment, different substitutes may he adopted. They may be piled in moderate heaps in the fields, if a stratum of mils and coarse brush can be provided for the heaps to rest on, so that the air may pass under for ventilation. The loose straw with which they are covered, to exclude sunlight, should be about half a foot thick, not more, and bo secured from blowing off by loose brushr They may thus remain several weeks. If dug when the soil is wet and adheres to them, nud they are then put in heaps, without sufficient ventilation, they will be seen to continue rotting, or if placed in cellars or any close apartments. In Inrire boxes with slatted bottoms. place*! on the north aide of a barn, and raised a foot or more from the ground, they mny be kept cool and dry till November; and if some earth has adhered to them, dashing cold water occasionally on them will tend to kept them cool, and clennsc them, provided they have enough ventilation to dry soon. The preceding simple treatment is much easier and more practicable than the use of sulphate of copper for spraying or otherwise, which, however efficient, has not beeu reduced sufficiently to a practical form for common adoption.? American Cultivator. FAltM AND GARDEN NOTES. Keep eggs in a cool dry place till marketed. Ited raspberries and blackberries may be allowed to grow from two to two and a half feet tall; should then be nipped back. Let your horse stand loo.se, if possible, without being tied up to the manger. Pain and weariness from a confined position induce bad habits. Half of the wear to tools on some farms comes from unnecessary exposure to the sun, auti tviim, ana ruin, w convenient shelter is lar cheaper and looks less shiftless. Pick the tomatoes as fast as they ripen ?this will hnstcn the maturity and ripening of the crop. Pick off all imperfect and spotted specimens as you come across them. Winter calves are just as good and as easily raised as spring calves; and your fall and winter calving cows will average more milk per year than those calving in the spring. I)o not allow the weeds to go to seed if you can help it. Of some plants, the seed from a single stalk of this year's > growth will he sufficient to produce hundreds of plants another season. If you uotice a young bird in any brood that is especially nice, do not kill it, keep ; it a while longer to see what kind of . a fowl it will make. The very best is none too good to keep for breeding. When a cow runs in a good pasture, free from weeds, and has a ration of grain or is fed on hay, ground oats and bran, in a clean stable, what is there in her milk that can be an odor, unclean, unhealthy or offensive? 8. II. Parsons, who is authority on tho rose, writes to the American Agriculturist that for hardy varieties he likes best General Jnqueminot, La France, Caroline do Batisal, Haronne Prevost, I (-1.n? Lice multiply quickly, and constant care is required to keep poultry clear of them during warm weather. Good pyrethrum or buhaoh powder thoroughly dusted into their feathers ia u preventive for the several sorts of lice on chickens. According to the American Cultivator many instances have occurred where cattle which have eaten largely of wilted wild cherry leaves have exhibited symptoms of poisoning and died in n short time while if the leaves are eaten green they seldom produce injurious effects. Undrained lands suffer from hot nnd dry weather, the reason for it being, according to authority on drainage, that, although there maybe water.tvithin a few inches of the surface, the ground becomes so compact nnd baked that it is not sufficiently porous to draw up moisture. Mr. G. T. Powell, an cxtensivo fruit grower, is reported in Country (Jentlemsm as practising "thinning out" with great determination and perseve.-ance, and nowhere arc its good effects better shown than in the vineyard. Mr. Powell believes that with some varieties he has gained three weeks' time by thinning nnd i v.. ? -t ? i iii.i mrejr uibvu in; n tjiirniiiMi ui urujl or no crop. The idea is general that water leaches down so rapidly through sandy soil that it takes all the elements of fertility out of the reach of farm crops. Mirror and Farmer thinks there is strong evidence on the other side of the case and asserts it as a fact t hat men who have the courage to plow manure into sandy soil get better croj>s than when they leaye it on' 1 the surface to be wa?h?d down."

Melanethon Woolsey Stryker addressed a very earnest sermon to the congregation of the Fourth Presbyterian Church noon tho "Menace of Alcohol.'' Hlstextwas: "He that liat h no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one." The time had come, the minister said, forall good men to take sides upon this deadly ev if of the ace. He that had no sword should sell his cloak and hoy one. The day was passing away for vico to buy respectability by joining tno cnurcn. i hp cnurcn wiw negmuing to see who it w?i ttiat wanted the lights extinguished upon the nwful reefs of intemperance. "This is the day," cried the preacher, "for every man who is manly, every man who is righteous, to take his stand against this vice. VV e may be 6ure the fight is on, and the church must clear itself. Bociety is soaked to the lips in this thing. The rivers of sorrow oro flowing by our very doors.

A letter from Norway to tho Now York Voice say?: 1 am an interested reader o# tho Voire, which is known to its here ns the chief orgrni of tho temperance propaganda in America, ond I venture to send to your readers n few words of information about the movement in Norway. This country has about 95,000 teetotalers, according to the estimates made at our last general conference, held at Skien in July of this year. I do not know how many adherents of total alwtinence there are in the United State,-*, but have heard that some two or three millions are claimed. Certainlyjhowever, Norway stands very near tho front rank, and orobablv she leads the world as a total Abstinence nation when relative population statistics are considered. In Sweden there are00,000 and in Denmark 30,000 teetotalers. Of the 95.000 Norwegian total abstainers accounted for by the statistics, 30,000 are women and 5000 are minors. Many influences have combined to advance the cause. First must be mentioned the deep religiousness of our people. Then the evils of the arink traffic are seen In the concrete in Norway; great numbers of the inhabitants of this country are engaged in Ashing or follow seafaring lives, and the results of liquor-drirtking aTo necessarily very clear in a nation of which this can be said; Tho farmers also learn to hate drink from the object-lessons sot before them. Tho energetic efforts of the temperance leaders and the general sympathy felt for their work have contributed powerfully to the production of good results. A Cl'IUOUS INCIDENT. A curious incident is related by Mrs. Mary E. Griffith, in TFomnn's Home Mixtions. Last Octol>er several Osages of Indian Territory bought and drank a quantity of whisky and straightway proceeded to commit n murder. Two men died within twenty-four hours from the effect of tho Ciisonous beverage. One of tho latter was ittle Bear, a prominent chief. His body was bolstered with several others in the top of a high and rocky bluff, and enclosed by u stonewall. A United .States flag was displayed above. Whether this flag was untuned as a kind of grim joke upon Uncle Bam to remind all visitors of his relation to tho great drink tragedy, or whether it meant to suggest that true patriotism may at last conquer cupidity, remains a mystery.
