shell exploding at the point aimed at.

Pure Air for Bedrooms.

There is nothing of more importance TO
the health of . family, than pure air in their
bed rooms, especially where the rooms are
small and ceilings low, filed sometimes with
three or four children, as I know to be the
case within my knowledge. No matter how
cold it is-every room should be fully ven
tilated for several hours every day; if 9
small space can. without the draught strik-
ing the bed, be left open through the night.

rooms cannot be too highly estimated. Ev-
cry such room, upon going into it, should
smell as sweetly as the outside atmosphere.
No good housewife will have it otherwise.

AGNES CRY, Kansas, April 9, 1862.
Mr. EDITOR: It is with deep sense of graft

take early opportunity to thank you for your
friendly forbearance in not allowing the columns
of The News to be used for the purpose of calum-
mating and forestalling public opinion against
me, concerning my unfortunate imprisonment
at Fort Scott, Kansas, during the past winter.

Christ by the Apostles, when he was arrested by
Pilates soldiers, was so infinitely related by the
inspired historian. It was, doubt, to be an
immortal commentary upon the weakness and
pitiful ittleness of mortality, to stand warn
ing to people throughout all time.

Renei, of Rolling Land.

Is the rolling Of spring wheat profitable?
For those who profess to have doubts, l
wish to record the results of two little ex-
perimeuts made last epring. When rolling
my wheat ground, bad strips left entirely
through the field, unrolled. When harvest
time came, the difference in the appearance
of the straw and the wheat heads on the
rolled portions was so manifest that the har-
vest hands at once noticed it, without be-
ing informed of its cause.
Upon close examination, became con-
WINGED that there was a difference in favor
of the rolling of from three to Eve bushels
per acre.
The second trial was made with barley.
l seeded down the whole of my barley
ground with timothy, and thought that by
leaving portion of the field unrolled l
could at once see the advantage-if any-to
the crop, and also to the grass seeding
Though great friend to rolling on our light
porous soil, did not expect so marked a
result On the rolled portion of the field.
the barley crop was fair average, and the
grass seed took remarkably we'll. forming a
perfect mat over the ground in the fall. On
the unrolled portion the grass seed utterly
failed to get start, and have. plowed it
up, and the barley was but little more than
half a crop.
Being very dry summer, perhaps the
benefits of rolling were more apparent than
in ordinary seasons. My plan with wheat
is to SOW very early, as soon as two inches
of the top soil is thawed, and then roll thor
oughly when the ground gets in good con-
dition, sometimes two weeks after sowing.
My very early sown spring wheat produced
twenty-six bushels per acre, while some
wheat of the Golden DIP variety, pur-
chased and sowed some three weeks after
ward, ouly yielded twelve bushels.-Cor-
respondence Prairie Farmer.
