To* many thinp aftcct th« abUltjr ci the fumar to reap hla grain and mew liia graaa exactly at the propar tiiaaratioal tima far doing thla work to maka it wortb while to lay down a paaitiva rala. Yet ignorance ot the rabjeot and genual earelawmeea often caoM niiatakea to be made whloh da great Iqjnry to ttie quality ot the crop. In the matur af timothy the time ef cat- ting Tarlea very omoaideiably with different farman. Some cot when the blecm ii fint 00, acme when the blesm ia going cfi, loma wait till the leed ia fnliy formed and be- glna to harden. Many do net finiah cutting tUlthe aeedahattor badly. Evidently the aztremea to avoid are Cnttiog when the grau ia to green that in ooiiDg it will diy up and IcM weight exceaityely, and wait- ing till the stalk haa largely tamed to woody fiber. There ia very llttla qaeation tliat a leaning to the former ia better than to the latter. If the crop ooold be oat all At enoe the ideal time woold be whan the bloom ia joat o£ If she crop to be out will toka Bome day a, begin belore thia time. It iaaes good policy to attempt to make of graaa both a bay orop and a grain crop. If, tliarefore, the graaa|atanda long enongh to mataretha aasd aoffioiently for it to foim an important element ot food the gain will bo more than ofhet by the rapid oen- veraien of dlgeatible matter in the italk to woody fibre. The dtgeatlblllty of the hay being the meat important factor in the qneatien af hay- making, thia point ahonld be kept conatantly in mind. Aa to reaping wheat when the gndn alone ia ooniidered, there can be little doubt that the proper time to cut wheat ia when the grain ii lipe, not hard and flinty, but fully rounded und growing hard. Ihe old aay- ing that wheal, â- honla be cut when " m the doogh" ia too Dnieilable to do duty aa a rule to go by. When the headi are golden, bat before the ttalka begin to bena over «nd here and there let a head drop aa if with a broken neck, ia the beattimti to reap wheat. Bat it ia bettor to be out after thia than bo- iore. With the approved appliancea of the preacnt day, when grain may be out with ae little handling and oenieqaent ahelling, the orop -nay be permitted to grow riper than in eld tlmea. Cutting toe green ia a heavy loaa. The writer reinembera obierving, a year or two ago on a certoln wheat faim, the great dif- ferenoe in yield and quality of the wheat out toe green and thas allowed to atand, or rather wnioh waa laat reached in the order «f harveating. The portion of the orop cut the firat few daya of harveat ahowed a de- preciation of fully 25 per oen^. from that out In a almilar length of time at the end of luurveat. Timely aG;gestions« We au(rgeBt tbat an acre or two ot good land, located convenient to the hog pasture, be planted in lome early matutiog variety ef aweet coin, to bo fed off during the firat half of September aa a prelude to begin- ning on the main crop. If an occaaional hill bo planted in pnmpkina theie will have an extra opportimlty for growth or, if pre- ferred, turnipa may be aewn bi the com abontthe lat of Anguat, andif the aoil be good and the leaaon favorable a good yield may be ezpeotod.

They oame to «h«^«« »•«• It cecdvee the wateie ef tbeliadibttj »aaiall onrrent flowing toaa eaaterly dlreetMu. Nominally, the party waa out 00 an explor- ing expeditton, but it is safe to say that the love ef adventnre brooght them thither mere then the intereato ef adence. While travelling onward, and quietly on thowatohfor deer, they disoemed some- thing lying on the greuad net far off, above which hovered a awarm of what they sup- posed to be insects. Their first thought waa that some beaat had fallen dead, and waathua being devoured. Capt. Rogers remarked that the sopposed inacota oeuld net be inaeoto they weie altogether toe large, and altogether toe amall for birds of prey. Here waa a mystery, whiob needed only to be explored. The party advanced to the spot as hurriedly as poadble, when lo 1 to their utter astonishment, it waa found that It waa a man who had fallen, Inatead of a beaat, and that thia man had been beaet and overcome by vampire bats. What to do firat, they did not know. They dared not approach too near the spot, for fear of being attacked in a simlliar man- ner. But not a moment was to be lost. The poor, nnfortnnate fellow waa yet alive, for every now and then there waa a vldble movement ef the body. •• 1 have an idea," add Capt. Bogerp, which may work well in thla case. Let ru charge our riflea well with powder, and fire into the midst of them." The party thought the idea a good one, and made hasto to carry it into effect. The discharge waa heard, a dense, sul- phuroua gas waa generated above the pros- trate victim, and the vampires, hi terrible censteraation, flew away with rapid speed. After the smoke had cleared away, the centdtmen approached the apot. Many of the vampirea were lying around, evidently disabled from the MTecte of the powder. Theae were meroileasly ciuahed by the batt ends of the guns. With all poeaible hasto, attention waa given to the victim. He were only a breech oloth. Tbe stght waa fearful to behold, and we forbear to ^otnre it In the vivid language ef Capt. Rogers. The fellow waa literally punctured all over the ground waa molatened with the blood flowing from hla veinv, and the blood still poured out. Not one of the party knew enough ef sur- gery to be able to suggest any rem- edy for relief and all of them were too much excited too ooc jure up a remedy from common-sense and experionoe. Several minutea elapsed before a thing was done, except to give the man a draught of fresh water. At lengtii, ode of the gentlemen, recalling to mind the fact that the tobacco-ashes are available for the sting, and believing that vampires sting rather than blto, removed a quantity of tobacco from hla pouch, and, laying it on the ground, al; oLoeaetlt on flra. Two ef the other gentlemen did likewise. Soon enough ashes were obtained to try the experiment. Having washed away the bloody gore, they smeared these aahea over the lacerated portion of the man'a body. The sole effect waa to stop the blood, and to oanae an intense smarting. The fellow seemed at laat to rally from his mlierablo plight and, failing to raite his head, he made signs of gratitude to those who 1 ad so kindly befriended him. After a abort time, he waa enabled to speak and, through the Mday intorpretor who accompanied the gentlemen, the fol- lowing facte were obtained He sdd that he waa en the way to a neighboring village, and that, when night had come en, he had lain down to deepuntil sunrise. Towards morning he waa suddenly awakened by a loud noise, and waa terribly frightened to find himself lying in blood. Stnmge te say, he felt Uttie or no pain but, en endeavoring to get up, he fell back completdy exhaosted, and aoon he waa so weak aa to be unable to move at aU. Theae are the facta gained a'ter many pauses; and It waa with creat difficulty that even thia slight information waa ac- quired. The fdlow ooidd speak only with the greatest effort, and then it waa ao nearly inaudible aa to be barely untferatoed. The remainder of the story ia beat given nearly in the werdi ef Capt. Rogers, who oanoludea: " There waa no nae talking further about the matter. I anggeated to my f rienda that there was only imall ohanoe of aaving the man'a life fer It redly seemed aa If Jully twe-tiiirda of hla blood had flewed eat.

For nearly four hoon and a half we aat and watohed the man, trying our very beat to think ef something for nia good. He waa toe far gene to cat anything, and we had to pour water down hla threat by degreea. "Well, the worst oame at last, ai we knew It would. Suddenly the man threw hia arma apwarda.

A well-known miniater waa sent aouth from New Jersey a few years ago to labor among the colored people.
