WET BooTs.-The following advice is
given to farmers, who, next to fisher
men, are most apt to get their boots
wet through: When the boots are taken
of, fill them full with dry oats. This
grain has great fondness for damp,
and will rapidly absorb the last vestige
of it from the wet leather. As it takes
up the moisturei it swells and fills the boot
As with q tightly-ftting last, keeping
its form good, and drying the leather
without hardening it. In the morning,
shake out the oats and hang them in a
bag near the fire to dry, ready for the
next wet night; draw on the boots, and
go happily about the days work.

SKELEToNIz1NG LEAvEs.-There are sew
eral ways of doing this. That by ma
ceration is long. tedious and disaGreea-
BILE, and quite out of date. The follow
ing are the methods now in use: Lay
the green leaves and seed vessels on
small sheets of tin, and cover lightly
with thin lace or muslin, place in YES
sci of cold water, put over the fire and
boil slowly for several hours. Uncover
one by one, wash out the cellular tissue
with camels hair brush, then bleach,
wire and mount in the usual way. Or
put into basin equal quantities Of soft
soap and rain water, put in the leaves
and let it stand on the stove till the
mixture boils. Remove the leaves to
pan of clear, soft water, wash them
quickly and carefully from the soap,
float out on piece of glass, and re-
move the tissue with brush, rinse in
clear water. Or take three ounces of
carbonate of soda, one and half of
quicklime previously Stacked, and one
quart of water. Boil ten minutes and
draw off the clear solution. Return
this to the fire, wash the leaves, and
boil briskly one hour or till the tissue
is easily removed. To bleach the leaves,
mix a drachm of chlorate of lime with
pint of water and little acetic acid
or strong vinegar. Steep the leaves in
this about ten minutes, simmer, rinse
we'll and place in books to press. Or
procure Labbarragne's solution of chlor-
ide of soda, and use a teacupful to a
quart OF water. Put the leaves in, and
in two or three days they will he per-
fectly white.

ADVERTISING
Has created many a new business;
Has enlarged many an old business;
Has revived many dull business;
Has rescued many lost business;
Has saved many a failing business;
Has preserved many a large business;
And insures success in any business.
GRARD's SEcREr.-Stephen Girard used to
say in his old age: Il have always consid-
cred advertising literally and long to be the
great medium of success in business, and the
prelude to wealth. And I have made it all
invariable rule to advertise in the dullest
having taught me that money thus spent is
well laid out, as by continually keeping my
business before the public it has secured
me many sales that otherwise would have
lost"

ton. Planting wheat in drills is thought
by some large wheat g.Owers to favor
the free circulation Of air, and counter
act this disease. Working wheat as
corn and cotton is cultivated, in rows,
makes the stem and leaf of this cereal
better developed, and contains more
flint to resist the parasite. In the
great battle for life, our invaluable
bread plant is often injured, if not
ruined, by enemies. both animal and
vegetable. Two thousand species Of
insects feed on wheat, and perhaps one
hundred or moreplant bights.

seen, wheat has filtered well, is grow

imperfect in some fields; while the
presence of rye and cookie tell bad

A CURIOUS BLUNDER.
How the Changers Have Been wOr.
rying Their Congressman.
Washington Correspondence of the New York


The Executive Committee of the Nation
al Grange, located in this city, have COM
mitted curious blunder, which has occa-
stoned Congressman from ali parts of the
country most serious annoyance. A con-
tidential circular was recently addressed by
the Grange Executive Committee to 1900
Granger lodges throughout the country. In
that circular, among other curious things,
was a paragraph informing these lodges
that all members of Congress were able
to supply Changers and Oranges with
unlimited public documents free of
cost. The result has been the receipt of
hundreds Of letters by Congressman, with
orders Cor large invoices of public docu-
ments. One letter from the President of a
local Grange says that there are $50 men,
bers in his Grange, all of whom would like
full set of agricultural reports, and also
Worcester's Dictionary for the use of the
Grange.
With whatever propriety Congress, prior
to the abolition Of the ranking privilege.
may have been considered national pub
fishing house, the publication of any CON
siderable number of public documents has
now been discontinued. The old members
disposed of their quota of books before the
expiration Of the privilege. None have
been printed since. The new members
have no books whatever, and are entitledto
none, for the reason that Congress- has ap-
propriated no money for the printing of the
reports. Congressman very generally de-
sire to have all constituents advised of the
fact that they have ceased to he public book
peddierS, and if they had the books could
not forward them free of charge since the
abolition of the franking privilege and the
reduction of salaries.

INFERITLITY OF RaGs.


Your article on the Infertility of

and upon examination found them SO
filed with fat that there was apparent
ly no room for action of the vital or
gans.
l think if breeders would give such
fowls wider range, and less feed, the
difficulty would disappear. Another
source of trouble is too close breeding
the remedy for this is obvious to all.
And still another reason is the rascali-
ty of few breeders who have a few
choice fowls and plenty of mongrels;

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES TO BE

IN favor of an investigation into the
manner in which the Agricultural Col
Ieges have compiedwith the conditions
Of the law of 1862, granting them

Such an investigation would do little
good. The ideas which inspired this
liberal grant Of land to promote agri-

brains of the men who control our
agricultural colleges, which are agri-
cultural In name only. There have
been no scientific schools Of tillage and

serve in these new industrial institu-
lions. Hence, their teachers really

Unless the harvest of wheat is later
than usual it has already commenced
in Texas, and will extend northward
till it reaches Middle Tennessee. There
is a fair prospect of something above
an average crop. in some districts in
sects have been destructive, and there
is still danger from rust. The compar-
atively high temperature of our climate
in May and June, and the rapid radia-
ton Of terrestrial heat at night, favor
the fall of heavy dews and that damp
ness so prolific of moss on trees, rocks
and soils, and of a large number of
parasites, Of which rust, mildew and
smut on wheat are, probably, the most
common and injurious. These pests
attack cotton, oats and other grain,
cause grapes to rot prematurely, and
do not spare potatoes nor blackberries.
Little more than clean culture can
be doa; 10 avert this great evil, ac-
cording to our present state of xnowl-
