Useful Information.

The washerwomen of Holland and Bel
gium,- so proverbially clean, and who get
their linen so beautifully white, use refined
borax as washing powder, instead of soda.
in the proportion of a large handful of bo-
rax powder to about ten gallons of boiling
water; they save in soap nearly half. All
the large washing establishments adopt the
same mode. For laces, cambrics, ETC., an
extra quality of the powder is used, and for
crinolines required to be very stiff, a strong
solution is necessary. Borax being neu-
tral salt, does not in the least degree injure
the texture of linen its effect is to soften
the hardest water, and therefore it should
be kept on every toilet table. To the taste
it is rather sweet; it is used for cleaning
the hair, is an excellent dentrifce, and in
hot countries is used in combination with
tartaric acid and bicarbonate of soda as
cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be made
with hard water all water may be made
soft by adding a teaspoonful of borax pow
der to an ordinary sized kettle of water, in
which it should boil. The saving in the
quantity of tea used will be at least one
fifth. TO give to black tea the flavor of
green tea, add single leaf from the black
currant tree Galignani's Paris Messenger.

a Buckwheat as Food.

III. 1sidore Pierre has recently been ma
king some investigations on buckwheat, from
which we condense the following interesting
results :-Buckwheat cakes are equal to pure
white bread, as regards the phosphates or
bone making material, and nitropenous prin-
ciples which they contain, and are superior
to bread IN fatty matters. The general yield
of buckwheat when cooked is about three
times the weight of flour used, showing
that such -four will retain forty -one per cent
of water. Between different patches of
ground buckEheat there is great dissimilar-
sity OF eemposition-one patch containing
nearly seven times as much nitrogen, TWEEN
ty-hye times the amount of phosphates, and
. hundred and fifteen times as much fatty
matter as another. The bran is the richest
portion of the buckwheat, but cannot be
digested by weak stomachs. The finest
qualities of buckwheat -four, and the white
mill dust especially. are very suitable for
children and persons of delicate health,
while the coarser varieties require strong
stomach and much exercise for their perfect
digestion.-SGeatie american.

The State Board of Agriculture of uIi-
nois offered premium of $500 for steam
plows. 1t was expected that three different
inventions would Be. exhibited and tested at
the State Fsir, but only one was on the
ground. That was Fawke's locomotive steam
plow, of Lancaster, Penn, which excited
great interest among the prairie farmers, and
performed well. The machine and appara-
tus, with fuel and water, weighs only about
seven tons, and, by thesuse Of drum or
barrel-shaped driver, for propelling the To-
connective, the difficulty of miFiHg in soft
soil, and slipping on hard, smooth ground,
is overcome. The steam plow IS easily
managed, and described as cross between
a locomotive and tender, combining the
essential elements of both, and mounted on
two guiding wheels and huge roller. The
correspondent of the Chicago Press. thus
describes the steam plow performances
cit draws six plows, cutting foot each,
attached to frame, and so regulated by spi-
raj springs that they yield to any extraor-
binary obstruction. AS there was no stub
ble-feld near, it was concluded to make a
trial on the unbroken prairie. This was
now baked SO hard by drouth that the prai-
rie-breaking plpws would not run in, and
the trial of sod plows was abandoned in
consequence. Notwithstanding this fact,
the inventor was SO confident of success
that he gave the order to put the plows to
work in this almost impervious soil. After
a little delay in regulating to this brick-like
surface, the engine moved forward. when
six burrows were turned side by side, in the
most workmanlike manner. The excite
ment of the crowd was beyond control, and
their shouts and wild huzzas echoed far over
the prairies, as there, beneath the smiling
autumn sun, lay the first furrow turned by
steam on the broad prairies of the mighty
West.
s'sThe engineEagain moved forward, when
the plows turned up the loose mud drift of
Egypt, laying six burrows side by side with
the most perfect ease and in the most work
manlike manner. The consumption of fuel
and water was very moderate That the en-
CINE is complete success there can be no
doubt, and all that is now wanting is to
demonstrate that, taking the whole expense
into consideration, it is cheaper than horse
power. If this is answered in the affirma-
tive, it viii produce the greatest revolution
in agricultural progress that we have yet

Indian Summer.

There is time, just ere the frost
Prepares to weave old winters way,
When autumn in a revere lost,
The mellow day time dreams away;
When summer comes, In musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheayes they bind,
And see if all are ripened well.
With balmy breath she whispers low;
The dying flowers look up, and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they 60,
For her who made her beauties live.
She enters meath the woodlands shade,
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief.
At last old Autumn rising, takes
Again his sceptre and his throne;
With boisterous hand the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, sighing, flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain, r.
And smiles to think it's all for him.

a Farmers Library.

DR.. Johnson being once asked whom he
considered the most miserable, replied,
''The man who cannot entertain himself
with book on rainy day." Were the
question put-What farmers are likely to
make the most rapid progress and improve
ment in husbandry? The answer would be
(other things being equal, Those who read
most on the subject of their vocation.
a man who reads little, no matter what
his vocation is. will be apt TO think little,
and act chiefly with reference to tradition
received from former generations, or else in
imitation of what is going on about him.
There is always hope of man who loves
reading, study and reflection. Not all who
buy books literally, and patronize tie press
generously, are readers. There is class
of fancy book buyers, who purchase freely
and extensively, but who read little and
profit nothing from the stores of knowledge
treasured up in their libraries. Fine col
1ecsions of books, nicely arranged on shelves,
may beget desires of covetousness, but can
impart little or nothing, only as they are
read, studied, and referred to.
Every iarmer, whether rich or poor,
learned or unlearned, should have a collec-
ton of books on agriculture, horticulture,
and the several subjects more or less inti-
mately connected with the objects of his
special pursuit. A few good books, costing
but little, should form the beginning of a
farmers library. ae1l
Having thus begun, additions will be al
most necessarily made to it annually, when
ere long. and the owner can hardly tell him
self how, valuable and choice collection
of books will be ready for use on the rainy
days, winter evenings, and other times of
leisure. In this way the desire for reading
increases, and knowledge is accumulated,
which gives both power and pleasure to the
employment of the hands during the work
season-that part of the year devoted to the
raising and harvesting of the various crops.
= The msjority of farmers have neither
time nor money for large collections OF
books, but none can afford to be without
papers and magazines. And there is no
way that you can daily spend part OF
your leisure time to so good an advantage
as in reading. Topics for reflection. con-
yersation, and experimenting are suggest
ed. In this way the mind is kept active,
and the farmer is ever ready for plans OF
improvement in all he does or engages in,
whether we have grain or grass farm

Forest Hill-Junction Of the Ne
oSho and Cottonwood Rivers.

EOREST HILL, with its numerous adyan-
II tages, is now paramount to all other places,
as it situated on the north side and near to the
Junction Of the Neosho and Cottonwood Rivers.
The elevated position which the above named town
occupies, gives commanding view of the eoun-
try all around, confirming the many fattering re-
ports which have already been made by all trav-
elers, who are constantly coming this way to ill
up the fertile valleys of the Neosho and Cotton
wood. The clear, cold water of the streams tells
well for the health and prosperity of the country:
The abundance of sand which the Neosho and
Cottonwood furnish, makes this location more de-
sirable than any one south of the KanZas River.
Limestone and building stone of the very best
quality can readily be obtained in unlimited guam
titles with little or no expense. Contracts are be-
ing made for lime at the kiln for 25 cents per
bushel.
Two brick kilns are in successful operation, the
first and only yards of the kind in this section of
country, and contracts are being made at six dol
lars per thousand. A steam saw mill, within
stones throw of the town, is in active operation,
and contracts daily filed of the best quality Of
lumber for $25 and $50 per thousand feet. A see
ond Saw and Grist mill, large and extensive
SCALE viii soon be completed by the Messrs- Baker.
The Blaeksmithing and Plow factory is being
carried on by Messrs. Stevenson d Bunnell, who
are supplying the country with home manufactur-
ed articles, thus preparing the way for the hus-
bandman to turn over the soil in order that part
grain which viii soon cover this valley far and
wide. a
The large number of buildings which al
ready under contract give full assurance that a
large town must soon spring up. Two Stores are
now prepared for trade. The vanguard of Emil
grants who have not as yet found home on this
fertile SOIL invited to come to the rich Valley of
the Neosho and share with those who are busy at
work building for themselves homes in the land of
the west. ~ s- = e.
The most direct route and best road from Leav-
enworth and the Missouri river is by way of To-
peka where the emigrant can cross the Kanzas riy
er by the elegant and substantial bridge just fin
ished, the first and only bridge that river
thence by way of Brownville, Wilmington and
Waterloo to Forest Hill, thus making direct and
good route to Eagle City, Shell Rock Falls, Verdi
girls and Walnut creek country.
The natural crossing which the Junction af-
fords, is one of the many reasons why the south
ern emigration crosses this way Preparations are
being made for the speedy construction of good
Bridge at the Junction, for the better aecommOda-
ton of the emigrant.
