A NEW DIsCovKRY-THE AGUE PLANT
The "ague plant" has recently been discov-
ered-not the plant that cures ague, but the
one that causes it. Here is one plant, at
leaet, that We can notice without being over
whelmed with applications for seed. To be
sure, it is little thing, and takes a good
eye, aided by good microscope, to find it,
but when found, it cannot be said it IS Is 60
great SHAKES" for it is the genuine Shaker
Seeding itself. Dr.. l. III. Salisbury, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, announces in the American Jour
nal of Medical Sciences, that fever and ague
is caused by minute plant, which is found
where stagnant water has just dried away.
The spores, or reproductive dust Of this mi
croscopic plant, are diffused through the mig BIT
damps, and being taken into the system by
breathing, are the cause of that wide spread
ecourge. the sgue. The habits of these MI
mute plants completely accord with what was
before known of the occurrence of miasm,
been shown by taking boxes of earth contain
ing them, to places where an ague was never
known to occur. In about two weeks efter
the ague plant was taken there. well marked
cases of the disease appeared. This discovery
does not, as yet, increase our knowledge Of
the means of Kidding ourselves of the plant,
bot it will probably lead to that just st one,
if be can only find out $. how he got such a
cold ie already half cured. The spores only
rise IN the night, and then to height vary
ing with the locality, of from thirty to one
hundred feet. This explains why night air
brings on ague, and why elevated localities
are free from it. After the ague eeed is taken
INTO the system, the plant is propogated there.
and the patient becomes q sort of animated
hot-bed.-Anericsn AgricxItxy1st.

BOILED WHEAT.-It is possibly not as well
understood as it should be, among housekeep-
ers, that a healthful and nutritive food may
be prepared by boiling wheat to be eaten with
milk or mOlasces-the former to be preferred
when attainsble. Il is first rate thing for
Children while adults may use it to adv antage.
Some have the wheat cracked in mill before
using, which is perhaps the preferable plan,
but 1t will answer we'll without this prepar-
alton. A lady correspondent of the OHIO
Farmer says, q" The wheat should be cracked
in mill. Take one quart and put it into a
half pot of warm water, and let it stand
upon the stove several hours; then boil slow
ly, and stir it occasionally, till it becomes
thick put in handful of salt. For chill
dren it can be used with milk. If left stand
ing till cool it is very nice to cut IN slices,
and use with cream and sugar, o. fry it like
mush the last mentioned l prefer for gene
raj use, but it can be prepared in various
ways
II boiled whole, the wheat should be al
lowed to soak in tepid water before boiling,
that the grain may have . chance to soften
and swell. When properly boiled, use with
milk suitably seasoned with salt and pepper,
and it will be found . nourishlng, healthful
and palatable dish.

ABOUT PIckLEs.-With pickles for family
use there is no difficulty, but many who raise
cucumbers on the large scale for profit, doubt
as to how they shall dispose of their crops.
Many have gone into the raising of cucun-
bers for pickles, from reports of the large re-
turns of come few cultivators. Those who
within our knowledge have made pickle-rais-
ing the most profitable are those who, living
within easy distance of the great pickle facto-
ries, could find Q ready sale for their crop.
The pu tting up of pickles and canning toma-
is prosecuted by those who have the expert
ence and capital, on 30 large a scale, that it i.
not advisable for smsll operators to attempt
to compete with them. Growers Of cucum-
bers, tomatoes, and the like, who are near
these large establishments, meet with a ready
sale for the raw material. There ia another
class of growers who live within few days
by rail, who find market for their cucum-
bers BY slightly sailing them. These put up
their cucumbers in tight barrels, with halt
peck of salt, then fill up the barrel with water
and bung it up. In this weak brine the Gu
cumbers will keep q week or two, but If al
lowed to remain much longer they will get
Shiny. This is the way in which growers
send che cucumbers to not very far distant
factories. To put up cucumbers to last for a
long time, instead Of four quarts of salt to
the barrel, at least half bushel should be
used A brine of this strength, in tight bar
rels, will, we are informed by an old pickle
maker, keep them for an indefinite time. For
family use, when small pickings are made
daily, it is as we'll to dry-sals the cucumbers.
They will give out their water to make a
brine, and will ehrivel, but when soaked for
putting in vinegar they will acquire their
plumpness. Use plenty of salt, as no more
will be dissolved than is needed.

APPEARANCE OF THE Sun IRON THE NORTH

above the horizon-a little more than one
fourth or the distance to the zenith, the
highest point that it ever reaches. From this
altitude It slowly descends, its track being
represented by spiral crew with a very fine
thread and In the course Of three months it
worms It's way down to the horizon, which it
reaches on the % of September. On this day
it slowly sweeps around the sky, with its face
half hidden below the ICY sea. 1t still con-
tinues to descend, and after it has entirely
disappeared it is still SO near the horizon that
it carries bright twilight around the heavens
in its daily circuit.
As the sun sinks lower and lower, this
twilight grows fainter and fainter till it fades
away. On the Goth of December. the sun is
% degrees and 3o minutes below the horizon,
and this is the midnight of the dark winter OF
the pole. From this date Il G sun begins to
