Farmers from different parts of the county report that the wecvel has commenced its ravages upon the growing wheat. The crop is not far enough advanced to ascertain with certainty whether their fears are well founded. Aside from this the wheat crop promises a heavier yield than wo have had for years. The breadth of land sown, however, in consequence of repeated failures, is much smaller than usual.—

A man named Charles Oyler stabbed

John Felsoff at Huntington on Thursday night, on account of some old quar

rel. Felsoff died almost immediately.

His blood stained the sidewalk for half a

square. Oyler. who is still at large, is a desperate character. Felsoff being the

third man he has murdered.

A frighful accident occurred on the Sth instant, at Albion, in which Mr. Thomas Haas of that place was almost instantly killed. It appears that he was shingle factory sawing bolts, and clearing away some rubbish fro chinery, when it is supposed, by some misstep, he stumbled aud fell, his head coining in contact with a heavy balance wheel. The wheel was running at full speed, and of course the top of his head was crushed, and his brains, with portions of his skull, scattered in all Jirec- H.

."iileration of two questions of great prac-

tical importance, which arc, when to cut

to secure the greatest amount of nilfri-

Intnl. ami when to do it with the least

harm to the aftergrowth. In regard to the (ir.~t question, there is a difference of

o|iinion among practical men, hut the

majority are in favor of cutting most

"rashes while they are in full bloom.

The testimony of careful feeders of stoek is. that animals fatten better on hay that

has been cut when iu blossom than when

cut later. About timothy and orchard

grass there is more difference of opinion

stomachs, a savin- will be effected by

cutting the grass before the seed becomes

too ripe.

The best method of cutting clover hay

to cut the plant when it is in lull bloom

nd in curing it before the heads turn I

brown, to preserve as much as possible,

ftcn seo*written about getting in clover hay the same day it is cut. I should be

put iuto cocks as late in the afternoon as the work cart be done, ai avoid the dew.

The point to be attended to in this oper

ation is to avoid sweating to a great ex

tent, as this will cause the sacliarine mat

ter to undergo fermentation, and if the process is continued a large portion of

the sacliarine matter will be lost.

The same treatment which is applica

ble to clover in regard to time of cutting

aud to preserving the natural properties of the plant, applies also with slight

modification to most grasses, with the

exception, as before stated, of timothy,

and probably orchard grass. Timothy certainly should he cut a little later. ||pf

The objection to cutting timothy while

it is iu blossom, is also peculiar to orchard grass. It has befeu fouud that cutting it

at this time interferes with the propaga

tion of the plaut, ajd consequently in

jures the after growth. This fact has

been noticed by many farmers but to

show its effect more fully, we publish iu a separate article the opinion of Mr.

ltichard McCrary, of Ohio, a praotical

farmer of great common sense aud dis

cernment, who has been for a number of

years carefully examining the subject,

aud whose conclusions establish the fact that if timothy is cut before the first

joint above the ground becomes dry, the

tubers from which the stalks grow will bo

arrested iu their development, and as the

propagation of the plaut depeuds on them injury aud extinction will follow.

Time to Cnl Timothy. The following are the conclusions of

Mr. Hit-hard McCrary, of Ohio, in regard

to timothy grass: 'wyipLc' 1, Timothy grass is a perennial plant,

which renews itself by annual formation of "buds," or perhaps, more correctly

speaking, tubers, in which the vitality of

the plant is concentrated duriug the winter. These form in whatever loculity the plant is selected, without reference to dry

larue at*

ness or moisture. From these proceed the stalks which support the leaves and

head, aud the same, i-ource spread

out the numerous fibres forming the true

roots.

2. To insuro a perfect development of

tubers, a eertaiu amount of nutrition must be assimilated in the leaves, and re-

turned to the hase of the 'plant, through

I 3. As RoOn ns the process of nutrition is completed it becomes manifest by the

appearance of a stute of d.essicatiou,..or dryness, always commencirig a point di-

rcctly above either the first or second joint

of the stem, near the crown of the tuber.

From this point the dedication gradually

progresses upwards and the last portioiv

of the stalk that yields up its freshness

is that adjoining the head. Coincident

with the beginning of this process is tho

full development of the seeds, and with its progress they mature. Its earliest ap

I opinion, and il is supported by unalysus whicli have been made. As

general rule ^rusHes contain the greatest

I aiuount'of sacharine intitter at the time of

pearance is evideuce that both the tubers and seeds have received their reipiisito

supplies of nutrition and that neither the

stalk nor the leaves are longer necessary

to aid them in completing their maturity.

A similar process occurs in the union

iust above the crown of the bulb, indiea-

ting the maturity of that orguq. 4. If the stalk be cut from the tubers

before this evidence of maturity has ap-

pcared, the necessary supplies of nutrition will be arrested, their proper growth

will cease, and an effort will be made to

repair the injury by sending out small

lateral tubers from which weak and unhealthy stalks will proceed at the ex

pense of the origiual tubers. All will ultimately perish, either

of autumn or the cold of winter.

5. The tubers, togother with one or

two of the lower joints of the stalk, remain Iresh and green during tho winter,

if left to take their natural course but

if by any means this green portion bo

severed at any season of the year, tho re-

one year from bud the lower they are worked or rooted the better. Set in a

moderately rich soil in a row 18 feet apart. Should discard all very rich,

moist, or heavy soils, I prefer a dry, warm

sandy loam, since such soil will grow leBS wood and ripen it better. The tree will

come into bearing earlier, and produce a

higher flavored fruit, and can be much

easier covered, than it would, if planted

in heavy soils. The first four years, I cut back, bend and tio down to form a

low stocky head.

I'i.an

Coveiuno.—Set

crotches in

the row between the trees or. what is

better, after the trees are up to bearing size, posts about 12 feet long with obli

que 2x4 inch holes through the posts,

or 8 inches apart this plan will be more

convenient than crotches, siuce by iubert

ing 2x4 inch oak sticks, you can form crotch of any desired height iu thpse

crotches I put strong poles and on them

I put other poles about four feet apart,

letting one end of each rest on the ground

aud thus forming a rafter like support: and on these I tack fence boards about

six inches apart, making a complete frame

work I then put on worthless marsh

grass of sufficient thickness to hold a

covering of earth two or three incheB

thick, thrown over all and well pressed

and scaled. .j

Opening

Si'kinu.—Open

in places

on the north side of tho row to admit air

and light as soon as warm weather approaches, but keep, up the covoring on

the south side until the leaf bud begins to open then remove all covering far

enough away to prevent mice or moles

from harboring ucar the trees. I fiud, it

necessary to put some poison near the trees at the time of covering, to kill all the mice that chance to get in duriug the

winter. Let no lover of peaches hesitate

about planting a few trees on account of

seemingly gr?at labor in 'covering, since peaches can bo grown 011 trees thus cov

ered at an expense of one dollar per

bushel and you may expect a crop every

year after the iourth.
