The Farming In1erest.


We would not have our farmers imagine
that it will be Improbable to raise a large
surplus produce the coming season. We
really believe that farming will be more re.
munerative one year hence than now, OF
ever has been, in Kansas. We have large
expectations of heavy immigration to Kan
sas as the war ceases. and those expecta-
tons are based on substantial foundation.
The regiments from other States who have
passed through Kansas will not fail to ad-
vertise in their own States our enterprise
and energy, and the abundant facilities of
the country. We were Informed by Capt.
Pratt, of the 18th Wisconsin regiment, the
other day, that several hundred men of his
regiment were SO pleased with the country
along the Kansas valley, that they declared
their intention to come and settle among US
at the expiration of their term of service.
Thousands more will be induced to come,
through the representations of these and
others who have seen the country The
itch tracts Of land on the Potawatomie res
ervatlon, now belonging to the Leavenworth,
Pawnee d Western Railroad Company, will
soon be snatched up by eager settlers, and

very desirable to plant the seed in a

Cotton Planting.

Of the many kinds and varieties of cot
ton, but one is adapted to our State, viz
the upland. 1t will grow on all the high
lands from Florida to the 40th parallel. Il
should be planted in this climate from the
10th 20 the last of May, on dry uplands
or on sandy bottom lands. The land should
be we'll pulverized and made level with a
harrow, then marked off about three feet
wide, then drop the seed about two inches
apart along the drills or marks, and cover
the seed one. half inch deep. When done,
pillow furrow between the rows-this drains
the water from the young plants. Stacked
lime or ashes sprinkled over the seed when
first planted, neutralizes the acid in the
ground and destroys insects. When the
plants are well up, take sharp hoe and
skim or scrape the earth from the plant,
pulling mp the weeds that remain, with the
hand. Flowing should be done with a Gull
tivator or small shovel pillow. The plant
should never be hilled, but the earth taken
from the plant. The ground should be
kept level. It blooms about the 18th of
July. If>August should be wet, top the
plants. If the plants crowd. pull out some.
The above is the result of thirty years.

to apply it. As the whale oil soap may not be
readily obtained here, its place may be sup
piled by making the requisite quantity Of
soft soap from whale oil; in fact, we believe
any soap made from fish oil would answer.
The receipt is as follows:
& The Mizture.-To one pound ofwhale oil
soap. add four ounces of sulphur; mix thor
oughly and dissolve in twelve gallons of
water. Take one half-peck of quick lime,
and when well-slacked, add four gallons of
water, and stir we'll together: when settled
and clear. pour off the transparent part and
add it to the soap and sulphur mixture. To
this mixture add four gallons of strong to-
bacco water. Apply this compound when
thus incorporated. with garden syringe to
your plum and other fruit trees, so as to
drench all parts of the foliage. If no rain
succeeds for three weeks, one application
will be sufficient; if washed by rains it
should be renewed.
We believe this wash is equally efficacious
for shade aud ornamental trees, which are
troubled with insects or caterpillars.

Curculio Remedy.

The following receipt has been published
in the New York Observer for the past three
years, every spring. 1t is stated to be an
infallible preventive against the ravages of
the curculio. It has been tried By hundreds
of persons in the East, with perfect success
in every case, and was last year tried by
some in this region; among others, Mr.. Rus
sci Hinckley. Of Belleville. Illinois. and Mr..
J. F. Broderick. of Maysville. KY. The
result of Mr. HIS experiment is as follows:
He had number of plum-trees. which had
dropped their fruit every year before matur-
ity, owing to the ravages of the curculio.
He applied the mixture to all his trees ex-
cept one; those to which the mixture was
applied bore an abundant harvest of fully
rnatured plums; the one 10 which it was
not applied dropped its fruit permanently
SIS usual.
The editors of the New York Observer
are so con6dentof its success, that they say
the cost of failure may be charged to them
Now is the time. during this month of May.

Time to Prime.

E. in Field Notes says: Custom often over
rules judgement, and we have SO long been
accustomed to take from the practice of our
fathers the aule to prune trees in February
or early in March, that it is difficult to
change. even when knowledge of the er-
ror of our course is perfectly apparent
There is no better time to prune than that
month in which the tree is making the most
wood. The sooner a wound heals the bet
ter. and a tree which is growing, all know,
will,heal a wound quicker than one in a
mparatively dormant state. The sap, as
it rises from the root is ir crude state, but
after it has been elaborated by the leaf it
commences its downward current, and forms
new wood, or the granulations that assist
to heal wourd. 1t is evident, then, that
when the tree has the most of leaves. and in
a condition to elaborate the greatest quantity
of proper sap, that then is the best time for
pruning. This period varies in seasons,
from the middle of July to the middle of
August.

Hedges, says the Gardeners Monthly,
properly treated are the cheapest of fences
Most hedges are too high, and too thin at
the base. In setting hedge the plants
should be sorted according to their strength,
and the weaker ones should have the best
soil. The tops of all deciduous hedges
should be cut down to a foot from the root
at transplanting; should stand sloping, in two
rows twelve inches apart, alternate. The time
to trim is when the growth is most active.
or about the middle of June. Once year
will answer. and a sharp scythe is suita-
bic Instrument. Each year cut the hedge a
foot higher till you reach the desired hight
flour feet is usually enough). but do not
touch the sides till the width is some three
or four feet; then prune to your liking.
Remember that there is less harm in horse
looking over hedge. than hog running
