Weeyil.PPoOf Wheat.

We believe it to be fact that the
wheat midge is gradually disappearing
At any rate its ravages have been
diminished year after year for the four
years past. Still, there are enougho
them left to work mischief, and in
some locations very essentially injuro
the crop. It is possible, also, that
circumstances may bring them on
again in their full number and strength
For these reasons it is yet wise to
forelay all that we possibly can to
avoid this scourge in our wheat fields.
The Northwestern Farmer quotes
from the "Hillboro News" commu-
nication giving an account Of a wheat
(winter wheat, proOably,) raised by
James H. Anderson, of Hillsboro', III.
called the Lambert wheat, which is
considered ''weevil proof" He raised
eight acres of the wheat last year,
produced we'll, and was entirely
unaffected by the weevil, while his
common wheat, sown in the same soil,
and under precisely the same circum
stances, was badly injured" This
last season he sowed seventy acres,
and nota head of it was injured in the
least by the weevil, while nearly half
Of his common wheat was destroyed
by that insect. He attributes the
safety of this variety to remarkable
peculiarity about the chaif, or husk
covering the grain. 1t is much sitter
and harder than that of the ordinary
wheat, and what is most remarkable,
never opens so as to expose the grain
inside" The weevil is, therefore,
unable to penetrate the husk. Tho
grain is said not to be as white as some
other varieties.

BRoWN4ILLF NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, Nov,2 %, 1861.
Cat-Skin Rugs.

In answer to your two correspondents,
who wish for more particulars about these
rugs, beg to say that my rug is COM
posed of twenty-four skins-thatis, three
rows of eight each. The cats were all
trapped; but do not think a moderate
quantity of shot holes would interfere
with the beauty Of the skin. A steel
trap, light covered with leaves, and placed
under a piece of meat or fish hung to the
gate-post, about foot or eighteen inches
from the ground, is very deadly to cats.
Where hares, pheasants, or more partic-
ularly foxes are abundant, steel traps
should never be used, and the common
deadfall should be substituted. This trap
catches cats well, and do not believe any
fox will risk his nose under it. The
whole of the skin should be taken off the
cat, excepting the legs and tail. If no
good currier is within reach, the best way
is to nail the skin. flesh side outwards, 10
a board, and dress it, as MIR. Buokland
recommends, with corrosive sublimate, 5
grs. to OF. of water, or with alum and
chalk, according to "CapSicum's" receipt.
After either of the above dressings, it
must be sent to a regular furrier or cur
rier before it will be fit to be made up.
Pitchet, or polecal skins should never be
thrown away, as they are more beautiful
when dressed than almost any fur; they
should be treated exactly the same as cat
skins. Cat skins make excellent hearth
rugs; about four. with fringe of black
monkey, or even black cat skins, look very
well. L. L. H.
P.S.-The cats from which the furriers
get the skins are reared for the purpose
in Holland. They are kept in cellars,
and fed on fish until old enough.-LOn-
don Field.

81 Meant Right"

There are multitudes of men who
all their life long fail of earnest Chris
tian duty, but always hold before
themselves this ready shield : 81 meant
right" Now, the proper evidence of
meaning right, is doing right. There
is no other evidence that can Justly be
accepted. An imbecile good nature
is not meaning right. There are thou,
sands of men who, if mere amiableness
is meaning right, if kind Of useless
benevolence is meaning right, have
right intentions. There are thou
sands of men that pass through life
without any distinct purpose, appar-
emily, without any seeming desire to
do right, who hold themselves to be
excusabie for their faults and failings
simply on the ground of meaning we'll,
of having good intentions.

Success in Business.

The great secret of success in bust

Continual dropping wears away the

never tagging energy.
"Go out in spring, when the sun is
yet far distant, and you can scarcely
feel the influence of his beams, scat
tered as they are over the vide face
of creation but collect those beams
in a focus, and they kindle fame in
an instant. So the man that squan-
ders his talents and strength on many
things will fail to make an impression

Best Way of Selling Pork,

"After hogs are butcherei, is it best to
sell them as they are, or pack them? ?"-
Hiram Olmstead of Walton, Delaware
Co., in an Essay on practical Farming
as Connected with the Butter Dairy"
asks and answers this question as follows;
Assuming that pork is worth 81 per
hundred, in hog, and Sl9 per barrel
hams will bring II 1-2 cents, shoulders,
10 cents, and lard II 1-2 cents. Every
ten pounds of pork packed, will weigh
out eleven after it is salted. Hams and
shoulders will fall short after they are
smoked, abuut one-eighth. Cut up the
hogs in the following manner. Split the
hog through the back bone, take out the
lard. cut off the head, cut out the hams
and shoulders, and cut the side meat into
strips, the way the ribs run through the
back bone. One hundred and eighty-five
pounds of side meat will make barrel
of mess pork, and will weigh out after it
is salted over 200 pounds. Dissolve salt
petre and bathe the hams and shoulders,
and rub on all the fine salt that will stick
to them, and keep them covered with salt
two weeks. Wash of the salt and smoke
The coarse meet will be the legs. head
and the RIB, on the inside of the shoulder.
At the prices named we will see what
four hogs, weighing fifteen hundred, will
come to:
barrels pork, 1s5 lbs. each, 9e5 lbs, at $500
