How NATURE COVERS UP BATTLE
FIELDs.-Did ! tell you ever, among
the affecting little things one is always
seeing in these shifting war times, bow l
saw on the second Bull Run battle field,
pretty, pure, delicate flowers growing out
of emptied ammunition boxes, a fine rose
tbru,ting up its graceful head through
the head of Union drum which doubt
less sounded its last charge (or retreat as
the case may have been) in that battle,
and cunning scarlet verbena peeping
out of 4 fragment Of bursted shell il
which strange cup it had been planted
Wasn't that peace growing out Of war
Even so shall the graceful and the beau.
tiful ever grow out Of the horrid aud
terrible things that transpire in this
changing but ever advancing world. Ma
ture covers even battle grounds soon
with verdure and bloom. Peace and
plenty soon spring up in the track of de-
vastating campaigns, and all things in
nature and in society shall work out the
progress Of mankind and the harmony Of
Gods great designs.-Letter from tie

EARLY WHEAT.-The Genesee Far
mer for August says that since the advent
of the nudge the great aim of the wheat
grower has been to get a variety that will
come into flower few days before the
nudge file snake their appearance. The
reason why the Mediterranean is so much
less liable to injury by the nudge (erro-
neously called the weevil,) is its earliness,
But it is wheat Of comparatively poor
quality. What is wanted, the Farmer
says, is a variety of white wheat, Gas good
as the Soules, and as early as the Medit-
egranean." If such a variety can be
lound, it is hoped that it will be exhibited
at the Great International Wheat Show
to- be held at Rochester, N. Y, Septem-
ber 8, 9 and 10, 1868. Such wheat,

millions of dollars to Western New York

BEST CLIMATE FOR SuEEP.-Sheep
can stand cold weather without injury if
it is dry. Sudden changes and cold rains
are very injurious. We believe sheep
require shelter quite as much in the
southwest as at the north. The weather
is not as cold, but more changeable, and
the sheep frequently get thoroughly soak
ed to the skin. In this condition cold
raw wind and a damp soil can not helF
but carry off much of the heat which j;
necessary to the well being of the sheep
The natural heat of the body of sheer
! O05 deg.) is much higher than that o
horses and cattle. This heat is kept uI
by the consumption of food Cor burning
Of fueD in the lungs, &c, of the animal
To prevent this heat from flying off, the
sheep are provided with good warm
coat of wool. To be effectual, however
the coat must be kept dry. In cold
dry climate, if the wool gets little we
on the outside it is soon frozen, and thi.
acts as a coat Of mail, with a good warn
lining of dry wool inside, so that the hea
from the warm body within does not fly
off. 1t is said that the Scotch Highland
ers in olden times when exposed during
frosty nights, wet their plaids before ly-
ing down to sleep, and by holding them ;
Snort time from their bodies they werc
frozen in a stiff hard board, sufficiently
thick and impervious to defend them from
the cold. The slight coat of frozen WOO
acts in the same way. But in wet wea
ther there is no such protection, and so
is that you will find It equally importan
TO provide shelter in the warm, but we
and changeable climate of the southwest

BEEs-RoBBING.-In September and
October bees are very apt to rob each
other, and many families have been de
stroyed in this way. The remedy is to
lower the hives down and give but one
passage way, and that not over two inch
es long for the strongest families, and to
be contracted according to the strength OF
families down to a compass that will only
admit few bees to pass in and out at the
same time. This is the preUentSre RENE
Idy. The populous hives well filed with
honey will require but little protection,
but those hives that have been left weak
by too much swarming, Or from any other
cause, are in danger. Whenever an un-
usual hustle is noticed around a hive,
with dead bees on Tire ground in front,
and the occupants of the hive around in
squads on the alighting board, with stron-
ger bees held as prisoners, you may know
there is danger, Numbers of bees will
be slowly flying around on a level with
the entrance, as if seeking for an unguar-
ded passage, making louder noise than
usual. At twilight, when all other hives
are quiet, bees will be seen to leave a
robbed hive and fly away to their houses.
This is the most sure test. In such a
case, close the hive entirely for day,
but give the bees air. You may then
open the passage way a very little, so far
as to allow a single bee to pass. Leave
it thus for day or two, when it may be
enlarged if no further trouble is appre-
hended.-.St0ck Journal.

WILCOX & GIBBS
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE,
Price with Hpmmer and Teller $40 10 500,

THE WILCOX g. GIBBS Family Sewing
1 Sewing Machine, is the best Machine, with.
out regard to price for Family Sewing, Brading,
Hemming, Telling, Tucking, Cording. 1t forms
fiat, even seam, which will not rip in wear even
when cut at frequent intervals, and makes the
ightest and most elastic seam for Full Cloth, of
any Machine stitch.
A peculiar feature of this machine, which de-
serves particular attention, is a PATENTED De-
VICE, which prevents the possibility of setting
the needle wrong-and one which prevents the
Machine being turned wrong.
The Wilcox & Gibbs Hemmers and Fellers
are the only real practical Hemmers in use, and
are worth one half of the price of the Machine,
over all others for family use. They form a mar
row. light hem or fell, far nicer than can be done
by hand.
The feed has no tendency to draw soft, light
goods down into the machine, but willscw Linen
Cambria perfectly.
1t is acknowledged by all who see or use this
Machine that it is the easiest to learn to use and
keep in order of any Machine made.

STACKING ARMs.-An anecdote is
related of Gen. Logan. When he was
a Colonel, at the commencement of the
rebellion, six companies of his corps be-
came aggrieved at something, stacked
arms and refused to do duty. The adju-
tant informed Col. Logan Of the diff

Then pausing a minute as he considered
the emergency, he continued-"Well, ad-
jutant, I'll give 'em enough of stacking
arms" Accordingly be formed the re-
naming four companies in line with
loaded muskets and stood them over the
malcontents, whom he compelled to
stack and unstack arms for twelve hours
They didn't want to stack arms after
that without special orders.

BLoAT IN CATTLE.-U. D. Court
of Bedford, writes that when cattle are
bloated from eating wet clover, or horses
from eating green clover, he has found a
sure remedy in giving to the animal an
ordinary charge of gunpowder, mixed
with about the same quantity of fine salt
in the hand, and thrown on the tongue
every fifteen minutes, until two or three
doses are given. He says: ain the sum
mer of 1858 | had five head taken at one
time, two of which were severe cases
but this treatment saved them. The
same week the hides of forty head were
sent into Battle Creek, and all from ami.
mails that had been lost by early wei
clover. "-Mich. Farmer.

CURE FOR WORMS IN THE HEAD
Some thirty years ago there appeared a
statement in Gov. Hills Monthly V;si-
tor, that worms in The head Of sheer
could be cured by simply taking whale
oil, and with feather put it up the nos
trils two or three times. 1t should be
done in the spring, or whenever the
symptoms of the disease make their ap.
pearance. 1t is said by those who have
tried il to be a sure remedy.

HEMLocK FOR SHEEP.-A CORES.
pendent in Wyoming county, n. Y.
writes us that he keeps his sheep healthy
in winter by placing hemlock brush in
the sheppard. The sheep eat the
brush readily, as we'll as the bark from
the limbs. In the summer, if his sheep
have the scours, he takes them off the
grass for a few days, and confines them
on hemlock bark or the boughs.

weeks, two pals of ashes a week; and

pendent of one of our exchanges says a
sure cure for hoof all in cattle is a mix

PRESERVING TOMATOES M u c h
cooking of this fruit destroys not only its
flavor, but leaves a pultaceous mass, hard

As my wife has a more excellent way
so we Think will describe it. Pot the
tomatoes into large dish; then pour on
boiling water SO that the rind or peel can
be more readily taken off; after which,
squeeze good part of the juice out OF
the tomato while it is in the hand; then
cut into two to four pieces according to
size. Cook for a few minutes until well
heated through; bottle, using no corks,
thick drilling only, cemented on the un-

SAVING SEED IN THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN.-Make it a rule to clear off
every crop as soon as it ceases to be use.
full; and if your ground is not too large
for you, never grow single ounce Of
seed, except Of any particular thing Of
which you cannot make sure of supply
When you do grow seed, do not leave
the worst plants for that purpose, but
the very best you have; and give those
as much extra culture as they will bear
for poor seed is not worth gathering, and
there are few things that cannot be i'm
proved by bestowing a little extra labor
in growing and seeding it. Such things
as peas and beans, if intended for seed.
should not be gathered from at all, be-
cause the first pods are the best if they
are plucked, and a second supply de
pended upon, the seed will be inferior.
In saving seed Of potatoes, choose the
best shaped, hardest tubers that have no
second growth on them. Let them be
thoroughly ripe before taking up choose
those that are about the size Of hens
eggs, and let them lie on piece Of dry
ground in the full sun for week then
lay them in shallow baskets, and stow
them away where they will be safe from
frost, damp, and artificial heat, so that a
free circulation and some amount Of light
can reach them. BY February they will
be green and hard, and little sprouts will
be breaking, and they are just in trim for
planting. OF all other things choose the
very best for seed for early things
choose those that are the earliest in the
patch. OF things that are priced fol
bulk and weight select the finest for size
and general perfection and gather al
seeds just before they are dead ripe, anC
dry them on piece Of cloth or Sacking
so that if any shell out they may not b'
lost. But as rule the professional seeC
grower will beat you nine times out O
ten, for he will not only grow them bet
ter than you can, and at tenth of the
cost, considering how much more valu-
able your limited space is for growing
the things you most want but he will
harvest and dress them better; and i
you deal with none but respectable seeds
men, and avoid the cheap rubbish that i
vended in odd corners, you will save
good deal of labor that is, general,
speaking, but barely productive.-"Pr9t

among some of the Ohio cheese men ;
among other sights was how they turn
the big cheese. lie says;
SIN his curing room Mr.. Cox uses as
supports for his cheese, two strings OF
scanting, ten inches apart; on these
scantling stand the cheese, each upon the
inverted cover of cheese box of a
size trihe larger than the size Of a
cheese. When the attendant goes to
turn the cheese, she takes another cover
of the same size, puts it on the top o.
the cheese to be turned, then with one
band on the top of this cover, and the
other hand at the bottom cover, hops the
cheese over, with only the strength of a
child. since, when the cheese is tilted up
little to one side, the opposite side bal
ances down between the two scantling,
and the cheese goes over as easy as
turning pair of waffle irons. Another
and greater advantage of this method Of
turning cheese, is that there is no dan
ger of bruising or breaking the corners
in turning, as they are perfectly protect
ed by the rim of the cover. This mode
of handling is equally applicable to
cheese on shelves but in that case you do
not have the advantage of sell-balancing,
the same as on stringers.
