EDITORIAL NOTES.
Rye pasture is reckoned most excellent for young stock of all kinds. If a
large area cannot be sown, a small amount
can, and it should not be wholly neglected.
 .    e«»    » .
The short «rop of hay saved, and the
destruction of .the oat crop, will make
corn fodder an important winter feed,
and it is likely that an unusual amount
of fodder will be saved this fall.

Keeping Accounts.—If you have not
already, how is a good time to begin
keeping accounts on the farm. Nothing
will prompt a man to energy and carefulness so much as to know he is losing
money in his business. Necessity is said
to be a virtue in this respect, but we can
only know our necessities when we have
the means of looking the future square
in the face. Carefully kept accounts
gives us this very thing.
 «■ e«.    «	
Wheat Ground.—The ground is not
dry and hard, as usually at this season.
The early rains thoroughly soaked it,
and plowing for wheat is this season easier on the team, and the ground is in
much better shape for pulverising.
Wheat will generally be put in better
this season than usual, on this account.
It is coming to be well understood that
the finer and more friable condition of
the soil at sowing, the better the saed
will germinate and the more rapidly it
will grow, and get ready for winter.
 ■   m i ■	
Stock Hogs.—No one ean afford to
stint hogs he intends to fatten. They
should be kept growing, and therefore
the time to commence feeding is when
they need it for this purpose. It is the
poorest kind of economy to starve hogs,
' at any time, if you hope to make them
come to their best. To make a hog that
has been stinted, fat for the market, requires very much more feed, than if it
had been evenly and continually supplied
with nourishment. And remember that
fresh water, salt and shade are also es-
tial.

Geological Survey.—A volume of
285 pages, embracing a report of the
geological survey of Brown, Jackson,
Scott, and Jefferson counties, this State
has just been issued. Professors Borden and Collett, the assistants of Prof.
K. T. Cox, conducted the surveys of
these counties. This volume, being the
sixth, is one of the most important of the
series. Besides the survey reportB, it
contains some very able and scientific
papers on State topics and resources,
which will attract general attention. The
report proper gives us in authentic shape
an account of the beds of kaolin, or porcelain clay, named by Prof. Cox, "In-
dianaite," which were discovered in
Lawrence county. The deposit is said
to be almost inexhaustible, and is
scarcely excelled in quality by any mines
in the world, for the manufacture ofthe
finest queensware and china ware. Ware
manufactured from this white clay will
be on exhibition at our coming exposition and fair, and preparation is being
wade for extensive use of U in the man
ufacture of these goods both in and out
ofthe State. It is believed that these
beds of kaoline will prove a mine of
wealth to the State. So, we see that
these geological surveys are constantly
discovering to us vast resources of
wealth, heretofore wholly unknown.
faith in the remedy of that class holding convertible securities and mortgages.
May we not suggest in reply tothe Cul-
tivator that no complaint was heard from
the workers during the period of our
greatest volume of currency, and when
we were paying the publio debt at a
hundred million dollars per annum even,
and people were more nearly out of debt
than ever before. That period, too,
when the volume of currency stood still
and at the same time the premium on
gold fell rapidly. Now perhaps the period when the government was rapidly
reducing its debt; when labor was fully
employed; when people were more out
of debt than ever before, and material
development was bounding ahead as it
never had, would be a good one to which
to return. We are coming to that conclusion in the West.

Direct Trade With England.
J. H. Rutherford and T. D. Worrall,
English representatives of the Mississippi Valley Tranding Company, were
on 'Change at St. Louis last week, and
made brief speeches, defining the objects
of their company, and urging the cooperation of merchants and business
men of St. Louis in the enterprise. They
expressed strong belief in the success of
the jetty system, now being applied to
the mouth of the Mississippi, which
would enable them to bring their ships
to New Orleans, and meet the trade of
this section of the country. They stated
that their company consisted of half a
million members, all of whom wanted
cheap food and regarded the river as the
natural and by far the cheapest outlet of
the West to the sea. They were also
convinced that St. Louis was the most
advantageous point for trade. Mr.
Worrall will remain there some days
and endeavor to arrange a definite plan
for the exchange of commodities with
that city and section of the Mississippi
Valley.
I give you my experience with the
wire worm. Being troubled with the
little pests one year, I was advised to
soak my seed corn in a solution of oop-
peras and saltpetre, using one-fourth of
a pound each to a bushel of ears of common eight rowed corn. The result was
that my seed all grew, and I lost none
by the wire worms, and I never saw
corn have bo dark and vigorous a color
before.   Since then I always soak my

seed twelve hours after being shelled,
do not know as it would affect the out
worm, but I have never been troubled
with them since I used the solution of
coperas and saltpetre. Neither was I
ever troubled with them when I ploughed my corn ground in the fall, which I
would invariably do on old sod. Some
farmers exterminate them by hunting
them out in the hill and killing them by
hand, but this is slow and tedious work,
and is liable to be slighted by hired help.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of oure, is a proverb true in this case.—J.
U.,in Country Gentltfnian.

"What is the remedy—that's what we
want to know?
"Some one may reply—find out what
the market for home consumption and
exportation demands is and stop there—
good advice—but what is to become of
workers? Men and women who depend
upon the week's labor for their support?"— Boston Cultivator.
The Cultivator after copying and commenting upon a late article in the Indiana Farmer, concludes with the
above extract. It shows that Eastern
^industry is also worrying over the • ex-
■isting prostration, and has not implict
Whenever any reform is undertaken,
looking to the amelioration of the condition of farmers, one difficulty will be
encountered, and that is that farmers
are not generally readers of those papers
and journals exclusively devoted to their
interest
A few years go, while located near a
village composed mostly of mechanics,
we were led to remark that a large proportion of them subscribed for and
studied scientific or mechanical journals,
most of them rather expensive, and that
too when many of them were behind at
.east a month with their various bills.
Merchants and dealers have their dailies, which they study carefully, that the
state of trade may be noted, and changes
in the market understood; they hesitate
not to do this, although the expense is
from twelve to twenty dollars per year.
Physicians and lawyers have their own
papers, and even agents have their
monthly guide issued. Political demagogues, and even some classes of territorial agents,- take advantage of this
neglect of the farmers to take the papers.
Speculators or dealers often make handsome profits by striking out among tho
farmers immediately after the rise in
some kind of produce, which they hav..
to sell, and buy at the old price, and sell
at the advance; indeed much of the exorbitant profits of middlemen are possible only on account of the ignorance of
farmers and others.
We mention theso facts hoping the
Grange will take them up and consider
them more thoroughly, and if possible
devise some means to induce all the
members to become readers.— The Husbandman.
For a few years past farmers have
" turned over a new leaf," and are now,
more than ever before, reading publications devoted to their own interests, just
as other classes have long done. There
is certainly a great awakening on this
subject

The property leased by thc _ National
Grange comprises all the granito building, No. 90 Main street, and the second,
third and fourth stories of No. 91. The
buildings are eighty feet deep; the entrance to the grange offices is at 92 up
stairs, they having re-let the lower floor
of No. 90 to the Masonic Bank. On the
second floor, at the right, is a very pleasant front room, occupied by the secretary. Adjoining this is a janitor's room,
water closet, etc. In thc rear of this is
the reading and executive committee
room. To the left is a large room, used
as the packing and express^ department.
On the left of the main stairway arethe
clerks' offices, very neatly and plainly
furnished, having fine light from three
front windows. These are in charge of
Miss C. A. Hall, chief clerk. The
rooms are provided with all conveniences necessary to expediate business,
and by having these, the same amount of
work with less clerical force can be accomplished than at Washington. Tako
it all in all, we think the order has
made an excellent move in changing
its headquarters.—Louisville Courier-

Why is it, when growing wheat or rye
is being snick with rust, that a little
plot here and there where stumps, logs
or brush have been burned to ashes, will
be bright and free from the attack of
rust? Because the growing plants employ potash and silica not only to give
stiffness and rigidity to the straw, but to
form, as it were, a glassy coat of mail
over the surfaco of every leaf, glome
and straw, to fortify the tender and delicate parts against the attacks of spores
that are floating in tho atmosphere. We
all know how readily substances in the
atmosphere are turned away when they
come in contact with a glassy surface.
Potash and sand are the essential elements of glass. The roots of growing
plants have the power to employ tho
sharpest sand and potash to form a thin,
elastic, glassy covering which is spread
over the surface to exclude moisture and
to repel any attacks of fungus.—Practical Farmer.

The following is a  communication
the Vicksburg Herald:
As a very great intorest is being manifested over tho entire south in tho production of grains, grasses and all cereal
crops, I propose, for tho information of
the many who have not tried tho growing
ot such crops, to B'vo «,y otnerienco ot
the past season, and the results yet to t«
obtained. Last fall I fenced off with a
good stake and rider fence fifty acres of
land, and seeded forty acres of it down
in rye, and ten acres in red (rust proof)
oats. I commenced breaking the land
up tho last week in November, with two
mule turning plows. It was broken up
thoroughly, the grain sown and covered
in with a heavy brush. An opportune
rain brought both rye and oats up within a week. In January I commenced
pasturing the rye, and continued until
February, when all the stock was taken
off. The rye grew magnificently, and attained a height of at least six feet,
headed well, with heads of great length,
and _ fat plump grains. I commenced
cutting the first week in June, selecting
an average acre of the field, and weighed
off the acre 4,350 Bounds, or two tons,
threo hundred ana fifty pounds of forage, and then threshed thirty bushels of
grain from this product. Can Missouri
or Kentucky beat it?

The Rural-Newyorker gives the proper
method of preparing cucumbers as follows :
"Pick the cucumbers in the cool of the
morning, and as soon before using as
possible. (It is important that cucumbers should he fresh.) Then remove the
outer rind and cut in the thinest possible slices. Sprinkle a little salt over
these; then cover and leave for 5,10, or
even 15 minutes. Our practice is_ to put
the slices on a plate and cover with another. The salt extracts the juices from
the cucumber more perfectly^ as the
slices are thinner. After standing a few
minutes*shake thoroughly and drain off
the water, which will take away all the
superfluous salt. Then cover with strong
cider vinegar and pepper to suit the taste.
This gives a dish that an epicure might
envy, and which will not injure tho most
delicate stomach. The substitution of
vinegar and pepper for the watery juices
of the cucumber makes the vegetable
peculiarly grateful to the palate in extremely hot weather, and acid stimulates
the biliary secretions, keeping the
stomaoh in healthful tone. Prepared
thus, cucumbers may always be eaten
with gusto and decided benefit during
even the sickliest season of the year, all
of which we can vouch for from many
years' experience.

The army worms have largely increased in numbers in Maine. They are
destroying vegetation in every direction,
and the people are trying hard to keep
them from their houses.
Mr. Vick says in his "Floral Guide"
that ten drops of carbolic acid, to be obtained from any of our druggists, put in
a pint of water and poured on the earth
in flower pots, will destroy all earthworms, which do so much damage xo the
plants.' A trial will satisfy all ofits beneficial effects. ■
It matters little whether it be Norway
Spruce, White Pine, Scotch Larch,
American Elm, Red or Soft Maple, etc.,
all and each with many more are rapidly
and easily grown. The simplo course is
first to sow the seeds thinly in beds with
rows four inches distant eaoh from the
other. Shade them, from the time of
seeding, both winter and summer, until
they have grown to be four to six inches
high; then, having made the ground
loose and pliable, transplant into rows
four feet apart and the plants one foot
apart in the rows. This will give some
thing over 10,000 plants to the acre. At
the end of three years every three plants
out of the four should bo taken up from
out of these rows and replanted in another field at a distance of four by six
feet. The growth now of both plantations will be rapid, and in three years
more one-half of the whole will be of
twelve to twenty feet in height, and a diameter of four to six inches, and valued
for various purposes at thirty to fifty
cents each. The removing of these pays
for all of previous labor, and safe to say
in six years more will sell for $1,000 per
acre. So much for a calm view of judicious investments, where money can be
spared and the future looked to for its
return at a large profit. The few varieties I have named are as nothing, for the
Chestnut, Butternut, Black Walnut and
many more of fruit producing trees,
have in them qualities valuable for timber, and should the investor grow 1,000
acres, less or more of them, their production of fruit would fully compensate
him.—E. R. Elliott.

Condition of the Canadian Crops.
The wheat crop of Canada has suffered
from the severity of the winter, but on
the wholo the quality is said to be good,
and the total yield, although below the
average, will be much larger than was
expected. Spring wheat will be above
the average to a quite heavy per cent.
Corn has a most promising appearance,
and the return per acre will be fully up
to, if not above the yield of the, last ten
years. The acreage of this crop is very
large. Oats, barley and peas have a
healthy look, and the yield per acre is
entirely satisfactory. Thero has. been a
partial blight in the pea crop, but not to
such an extent as to alarm the cultivators of* this product. The Colorado beetle attacked the potato in some localities, but the damage was trifling and will
hardly be seen in the return of this
crop.   Hay was never more abundant.
