AGRICULTURAL.
Rive as a Fertilizer.

Rye will grow and often yield
largely on a soil containing not
more than one and a quarter per
centof oranic matter. 1tafords a
fine Winter pasture for stock. 1t
should be sown in the fall, as soon
as the suns heat has so moderated
as not to killthe young plants. -.
After rye has advanced in age
and growth sufficiently to stool out,
it is not damaged by the tramping
of a reasonable amount of stock.
Grazing it to a reasonable extent
in Winter and early Spring is said
rather to increase than to diminish
the yield.
fit is not desired by the far
mer to reap and thresh out his
whole crop ofrye, hogs and cattle
are greatly benefited if turned in
upon it.
The rye straw if allowed to re-
main upon the ground, shades it,
thus aiding in it's fertilization by
preventing evaporation and the es-
cape of valuable gases from the
soil.
Besides this, the straw makes a
positively large addition to the or
ganic matter in the soil. 1t also
improves its physical properties.
Turned under it renders the ground
pulverizable and permeable to the
roots of plants and to the rain.
In grazing land, it is all i'm
portant to remember that tramping
it by the stock in wet weather is
injurious. A luxuriant rye patch
bears Winter grazing with less
injury to the soil than any other
crop we are acquainted with.
Should the farmer prefer to save
bis whole crop of rye, the grain
always bears a fair pricein market.
1t is important to be careful in
the selection of seed for sowing.
Much ofthe rye found in the mar
kets has been cut too early, or
from other causes, is defective in
terminating power.
Aftergetting start in rye cul-
ture, the farmer should save his
own seed from year to year.

The CoTToN OUTLooK.-The equili-
brium of prices between Liverpool and
New York having been nearly or quite
resorted by the recent decline here, the
export trade in cotton has once more
assumed large proportions, with the
consequence of material increase of,
and lower rates for exchange. The re-
ceipts at the ports, though below last
year, are steadily increasing, and as the
season has been, on'the whole favorable
one, crop Of three and a half millions
of bales is confidently looked for, pre-
supposiug a favorable picking season:
The future course of the market will
turn chiefly upon the duration and re-
suit of the European war. Should
hostilities be prolonged, the consuming
power of the Continent must necessarily
be seriously crippled, which will natu-
rally have a weakening effect upon
prices. Theleading English authorities,
however, do not think that the visible
supply and current rate of consumption
Justify any further decided fall during
the remainder of the year, by which
time peace may be restored, thus ma
terially changing the situation. The
stock of American cotton at Liverpool
is 50 light that it is apprehended that
English spinners may find it difficult to
supply themselves with the better
grades during the months of Octber
and November; but as cotton is more
than ever seeking steam transportation,
and in view of the augmentation of that
agent between this country and Eng
land, these apprehensions will probably
be found to be not altogether we'll
founded. Itis evident, however, that
the position of affairs in Europe render
speculation more than usually hazard
Gus, and those who are operating heavi-
ly in future contracts may be creating
heavy margins against possible losses

WATERING PLANTS IN. A Dry
TIME.-In case ofprotracted drouth
it is affirmed, that surface watering
has tendency to draw the roots
to the surface: where the greatest
amount of moisture is; and hence,
if the watering is neglected sin.
gle day, the roots will become dry,
and the plants wilt.
TO avoid this result, take crow
bar, or wood stake, sharpened,
and make among the plants nu-
merous holes in the ground, SIX
or eight inches deep; and into
these pour the water from the noz-
zle of the watering pot, the rose
being removed. Give a heavy
dose, and a half hour afterward go
over the ground with the hoe,
stirring and levelling the surface,
then attach the rose and sprinkle
the plants and the ground very
slightly. If this mode of treat
ment is properly applied once a
week, plants will not suffer in any
ordinary drouth.

How to Danish FleaS.

A Missouri correspondent Of the
Country Gentleman gives his ex.
perience in ridding his premises Of
feas as follows:
Some years ago I had a barn
that a hundred head Of hogs were
allowed to winter in until spring.
The heas became so numerous that
it was not safe to apprach nearer
than 20 yards, unless a man was
proof againts their bites, as many
are. to my knowledge. I deter
mined to clear them out, and dl-
rected two negroes to remove all
the dust and dirt; haul eight or ten
barrels water, and wet the floor
and walls perfectly, collect guam
tity Of pennyroyal and black wal
nut,leaves; cover the floor three
inches deep, and set some boughs
of the walnut against the walls and
troughs. In six days there was
not flea to be seen, and trainer
of race horses occupied the barn
all summer withoua molestation.
have known sheep turned into
the stable and barn-yard and kept
there, and the heas get in the wool
and perish, or are carried off to
the pastures.
The Scientific American furn-
ishes the FLOWING:
The oil of pennyroyal will drive
those insect off; but cheaper me-
thod, where the herb fourishes, is
to throw yhur dogs and cats into
a adecoction of it in once q week.
Now the herb, and scatter it in
beds ofpigs once a month. l have
seen this done sor many years in
succession. Where the herb can
not be got, the oil may be porcured.
In this case, saturate strings with it,
and tie them around the necks Of
dogs and cats; pour a little on the
back and about the ears Of hogs
which you can do while they are
feeding, without touching them.
By repeating this application every
12 or Is days the feas will flee
from your quadrupeds to their re-
lief and Improvement, and your re-
lief and comfort in the house.

October.

October strews the woodland DER,
With many brilliant color;
The world is brighter than before
Why should our hearts be duller1
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather!
All me this glory and this grief
Agree not we'll together.
This the parting season-this
The time when friends are flying;
And.lovers now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing.
Why is earth so gayly dressed 7
This pomp that autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
Each one Of US, perchance may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter.
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brows with silver laden,
And thou. this glen may seek again,
Butneyermore a maiden!
Nature perhaps foresecs That Spring
VIII touch her teeming bosom,
And that few brief months will bring,
The bud, the bee, the blossom;
All! these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither-
The virgin that adorns them so
viii never more come hither.
