Here is a, chance `for an inventor. There s money in it apparently. A cor- respondent of the Scientic 1 American points out the need of a cheap and speedy press that can be operated by _a threshing engine to press-straw into small solid blocks of fuel. [Such a press would un- questionably be a boon` to the American and Canadian prairies, where millions of tons of straware new burned on the elds. It might also be serviceable in" `some Ontario counties. There is a draw- back to the straw-fuel system-'-the heavy draught which it makes on the fertility of the soil--but still" there are many sec- tions of `country -where burning straw. is, in the long run, cheaper than importing wood or coal.

It is estimated that the requirements of England for wheat, this year, will be 160,000,000 bushels, against 140,000,000 bushels actually imported last year. There are no. large stocks ` of wheat on hand, as there were at this time a year ago, This is likely to still further in- crease the requirements to be imported. Wheat is now also so low in price that considerable will be fed to stock, as was the case last year, when _the price. was higher. o;_.--_.__-- a\JIIICII\I\nIJ VVTIIIU all`-A U'JI\I \II `VI That w111`do,.said'the teacher with a smile. . ` ' um. 1:11.`. _:_.I `L--J -.:___.; _ ___._:_._- ___ DIAJIIUQ The little girl had giveh a. curious au- swer, but underneath her odd language there was a pretty clear conception of the true meaning.-Ch-r_iatian Weekly. now to stain is Flee r. `S.R. wishes to know how she can stain the floor of her dining room. The following? directions were published some time ago in a journal which is authority on such subjects : Dissolve equal parts of mangauate of soda. and crystallized Epsomo salts in twenty to thirty times the amount of water, at about 144 Fahrenheit. and brush the planed wood with the solution. The less water employed the darker the stain, and the hotter the solution the deeper it will penetrate. It may be used boiling hot. If the stain is not dark enough, a second epplication of a less con- centrated solution should be made. . After it is perfectly dry it should be varnished with an entirely colorless oil varnish. If the stain is put on at a boiling tempera.- ture, it penetrates so deeply that it does not soon require a fresh application. ` clearing the Way foriwinter. The work of covering perishable veget- ables and protecting stables and barns against severe cold should -be all done be- fore the cold weather comes. Neglect of this precaution, which may seem almost too plainly neededto require exhortation. is the cause of millions of dollars being lost every year. Late as severe weather may be delayed a certain class of farmers will be always found unprepared for `it. vv-v` ~--v--- - v-vvv ncnnvllvvvllvllg As soon` as the` buckwheat crop is off, `the ground shouldbe well harrowed so that the scattered grain may be `buried suiciently to germmate. Of course the first frost, however slight, destroys 1t. With two or three weeks of warm weather and harrowing the stubble, the eld may be cleared of this grain suiciently to be sown with oats in-the spring. `Barley does not succeed well after buckwheat, `nor will corn or potatoes.
