AGRICULTURAL. Early Cutting of Wheat. Some farmers cut their wheat when they are ready to get at it, not when the wheat ought to be cut. "We say ought to be cut, and we Bay it advisedly. Every observing farmer will admit that the risks run in al lowing his wheat to become dead ripe are many, and one or more of them is sure to turn up. Rains may come and blacken it, and it may be delayed so long as to shatter out considerably when the harvesting takes place. But above all, the rust may inter pose and destroy half the crop. This inj ury seldom makes its appearance until the last of June, while in ordinary seasons the crop is fit to cut by the 24th of June. That is to say, when the grain can just be mashed between the thumb and finger is the best time to cut it. This early harvesting not only secures the crop against the risks named, but it secures also better flour and more of it, while the straw is brighter and contains more nutriment as food for cattle than when the cutting ia delayed. Again, as some wheat fields in the country are sown with clover the young plants get an earlier opportunity to push ahead and can be pastured in early autumn. Ex. Cutting and Curing Hay, There is no one farm product the valued properties of which are more affected by a slight variation in the time or mode of cur ing than hay. It is true that hay differs in its nutritive properties, according to the particular plants of which it consists as well as to the time and manner of cutting and curing; still those plants which are comparatively poor can be made into passa bly good bay by proper manipulation, and the very best rendered almost worthless by bad treatment. We often thought the more favorably the climate for the production and curing of herbage for stock the less uiteiy wouia it oe to oDiain it oi goou. qual ity and of sufficient quantities. The dry ness of our climate, as a rule, is especially favorable for making the best quality of hay, and this has without doubt tended to make our farmers careless in regard to be ginning at the earliest practicable moment to secure the crops, as they know that good haying weather is likely to continue tor an indefinite period. This advantage oi cli mate has been the bane of our agriculturists in many branches of farming, but in none has it produced more injurious results than in hay. The proof of our assertion can be seen in the dried hay exposed in our city markets and in the barns of the farmer, as well as in the condition of the animals forced to eat a poor quality of hay, which might have been greatly improved in quality at no extra expense by cutting early and cur ing in a rroDer manner. It is well known and almost everywhere conceded that hay plants cut down while immature and in a suculent stage contain a much larger proportion of starch, sugar and gum than the same cut when nearly ripe. As the plants mature, a large propor tion of these nutritive properties is con verted into woody fibre, which, in a great part, is indigestible matter, doing the ani mal very little good, besides costing much labor in mastication. The longer grass stands after arriving, at its maximum stage of growth, the greater the loss of sugar and other soluble matter, and the less digestible it becomes. Even when cut down in a thoroughly suculent condition, most of the grasses suffer the loss of sugar and starch and undergo a degree of liquefaction in drying. Scientific agriculturists know the value of early cut fodder, but the majority of our farmers still persist in delaying the haying season until allpossibility of making good hay is past. With our ordinary kinds of cultivated grasses the appearance of the flowers is an unerring sign of fitness for the scythe or mower, and if a man has a large quantity to secure, and not efficient as well as sufficient help to gather the entire crop, he had better commence a few days earlier. But in no case should the cuttings be de layed until the seeds begin to harden. The same rule holds good with the legumes, such as our common red clover, lucerne, and other similar plants, none of which add anything to their nutritive properties by being allowed to stand long after they come into Dloom. Exchange. Cotton Culture in Eastern North Carolina. A farmer subscriber in Mecklenburg coun ty, N. C, (says the N. Y. Cotton,) having read the report of Mr. George Allen of New born, upon the premium cotton crops raised in Eastern North Carolina last year, and re questing information as to the method of cultivation in raising said crops, we sent his letter to Mr. Allen, and the following is his reply : "In reply to your inquiry we would state that a 10-acre crop was planted with garden peas the latter part of January, 1880. ; The crop was sold during April. We then listed the same rows and planted with Dickson Cluster Cotton, which was cultivated en tirely with the Allen steel sweep. The crop commenced to open the latter part of Sep tember, and yielded six hundred and seventy-five pounds of lint per acre. The sales of peas, forage, cotton and cotton seed amounted to over one thousand dollars, and the net profit was $622 on four acres." A correspondent at Greenville, Pitt conn ty N. C, writes : "Mr. Joseph T. Pollard, one of our best and most enterprising farm ers, residing three miles from town, sent to Texas laBt Spring and purchased some extra cotton seed for which he paid $13.50 per bushel. He planted three-fourths of an acre of this cotton, leaving the stalks one foot apart and only one stalk to the hill, and picked therefrom last Fall a bale of cotton weighing 437 pounds. The cotton Bold in this market for one-fourth of a cent more per pound than the best grades of other cotton." t? Onions are considered by Laws of Life one of the very- best of vegetables. Properly cooked and eaten with care they are excellent in their sedative effect often times upon nervous people; sometimes when eaten raw they will promote sleep when other things fail. Undoubtedly the chief nutritious element which they contain is sulphur, and this is one of the most impor tant chemical constituents of the body. By all meant eat onions freely if they are not disagreeable to you. Tie Best Early Roughness. vAll farmers, and others, too. know what rakincr it takes, at this season of the year, to get stock fed. Mr. Arch Brady, of Shiloh, thinks He Has discovered me oesu In August, 1880, he sowed rye on a rich lot. During that Fall, and the early part of the succeeding Spring, he kept it ; pastured down, in ine last wee m apni wo o was nearly or quite nve ieet nign, ana just beading out. At this time he had it cut with a mowing scythe, pacKing it in a neap nn his barn loft, alternating the layers of rye with layers of wheat straw and fodder, putting about a peck ot sait to ine two horse load of rye. In this heap it lay twenty-four hours, getting very hot He then scattered it, mixing rye, straw and fodder pretty thoroughly, shock oi an kinds eat it with great avidity, without any injurious results whatever. Statesville Landmark. $3T Trees and plants perform a great sanitary work, silently, steadily and uncon sciously to the great masses of humanity. Their beneficial work is but partly under stood even now by our most advanced scientists. Man and animals breathe air to purify their blood and sustain life and health. They use up the oxygen of the air they breathe, and give out in its place car bonic acid gas, a poisonous creation to ani mal life. Plants breathe air through their leaves and use up the carbonic acid gas it contains giving out oxygen in return. Here we have an equilibrium established and sanitary benefits accomplished. Again trees and plants draw from the soil great quantities of water which it diffuses through the air rendering it nt lor the use oi man. Forests exhale oxygen and forests and for est air is proverbially healthy. Plants not only draw pure water from the soil, but stagnant impure sewage and other disease breeding water is absorbed and used up or worked over and given out in insensible perspiration or oxygen gas. Billiousnsss. This disease arises solely from eating improper food. Heavy animal food is used, when it should not be, and fruits are neglected which should form a greater part of our diet. This is a fact, and needs no further proof than the almost uni versal avidity, in the early Spring, lor "greens, these being eaten with vinegar, and soon after, by the benign arrangement of .Providence, the delicious strawberry, the whortleberry, then the cherries and peaches and apples, carrying us clear into the Fall of the year, when the atmosphere is so pure and bracing, that there is general health everywhere. A good remedy for billious- ness when once upon you, is to eat a lemon every morning on rising, and again on re tiring in the evening. JAMES P.

The hitch is directly attached to the ends of the beams, is adjustable high or low, for deep or shal low plowing and takes all weight off the horses necks. ' The uprights besides their internal adjustment are left free to swing back and forth on the arch bar; which equalizes the draft by leaving each horse to draw his own load, and prevents the tomgue or wheels from being thrown across the row by the uneven movement of the team or any other cause ; thus preserving the line of draft and decreasing the labor of guiding.
