Drying Plants.

see the inquiry in your last for the
mode of Crying botanical specimens.
The easiest way is to take newspa-
pers, fold them up SO that they will
form .foIios of convenientxs size--say
about a foot by eighteen Inches or if
full sized specimens are not desired,
| ten by fifteen inches. "A block OF
stone, or better two or three blocks,
or several bricks, may be used as
weights, which will exert a steadfer
and more uniform pressure than a
screw press. They may. also be used
in much less time. The bricks, If
desired, may be cased with velvet, for
as large as the folds Of newspapers,
pers like q book and place each plant
nearly as possible. After thus getting
them ready and placing them in 9
pile, lay the board on the papers, and
Twenty or thirty pounds will do to
less. Let them press till next morn
the weight and board, and spread the

| the floor or on shelf. In a few hours
they will be quite dry, and are then
to be returned to pressure. In each
successive day the papers will dry in
less time, and the pressure should be
one fresh and the other more advanced,
should be used where many plants are
dried. When quite dry, the speci-

the permanent herbarium, and the
plants. This is an easy and good
way OF crying specimens, and the
colors viii be as well preserved as the
nature of the plants will admit, pro-
vided the folds of the paper are thick
enough to absorb the moisture of the
| fresh specimens, and dry airy room
is employed.
| A moro perfect mode for some DELI
cate plants, but requiring more time,
is to place each plant In q, thin fold of
fine paper, and keepi it there the same
as before mentioned, absorbing the
moisture by means of fresh folds of
newspapers, changed daily, but with
out spreading the sheets out to dry, or
removing the plants from tho thin
paper. / have found the former mode
to do quite as well for most plants,
and better for some.
The herbarium, or book for holding
the plants permanently, should be
| precisely Ike q scrap book-that is,
with leaves of good thick white print
ing paper, folded thick at the hack, so
as to compensate for the inserted
plants. Or, IL you wish to make only
q small collection, as for example, OF
weeds, or of certain flowers, exclu-
sively, you may use any quarto or
other large book which you do not
want fsuch a public documents, &c. }
and cut out two leaves and leave one,
all through the book. If the type is
heavily loaded, and the margin large,
such a book will do quite well. Sci
entific persons will of course not be
satisfied with anything else than q
handsome set Of books bound neatly
on purpose. The plants may be fast
ened in by strips Of marrow ribbons
of paper pasted across. The plants
should be arranged regularly and sys-
tematically, according to the natural
orders, and the place where each
specimen was collected, if q wild
plant, should, be mentioned. Cor.

Good Farming Implements are the

THE CROPS.

OEcial Reports from Efghteen Grain
Growing States and Three Terrific
ries.
In Illinois the soil is in a measure
exhausted from incessant cropping !;
but on good land, where the seed was
sown by the 2th of September, the
crops look about as well as in average
years. A great breadth of land has
been sown, and the prospects are that
what is lost in the fertility of the soil
will be made up in the number OF
acres under cultivation.

Pine Lot of Hogs.

While at Beatrice last week we
were shown lot of sixty hogs being
fattened by Hon. F. Roper of that

in,the State. The manner of treating
them was new 10 US. They are fed
epfFely on dry ground feed-shorts

corn in any shape is fed. They are
simply fed all they can eat, and per-

whistle of the engine; that all necessary
and proper caution and exertion were made
use Of by the engineer and conductor on
said locomotive aforesaid, to prevent the
casually, and save the life of said deceased
and this death was the result OF an unfore-
seen accident wholly unavoidable or the
part of the officers and employees of said
road, they not knowing he was a deaf man,
and having both rung the bell and blown the
whistle of the engine in time, under ordinary
circumstances, to have prevented the fatality.
