consequence of this was, l have not had the sick
headache more than two or three times during
the past year; and even then it was cansed by
intemperance in eating. A person who is subject
to It should abstain from all stimulating drinks,
and be as regular in all his habits as possible.

Grit And Gra..hopperr.

The devastation of an army of grasshoppers
must be seen to be appreciated. We very well
understand the discouTaging feeling with which
a farmer views the desOlatiOn and destruction of
his fields, upon which he has expended so much
bard labor and upon which he depends for taxes.
money to pay debts and to feed and cothe his
family. We can understand, we say the blank
dsconrgement that attends this experience, be-
cause We have been through it.
Fields of corn of eighty and hundred acres
that week ago were full of promise of fine
return, are to-day consumed. Down through
western Minnesota, Nebraska and western Kan
sas, this army of destruction came.
In many parts of the Solomon valley and Ar
kansas valley the growing crops are entirely des-
troyed. This, taken in connection with a drouth
of eight or ten weeks in various parts of the
State, presents no hattering picture to many of
our farmers. II must not be forgotten in con-
templating this, however, that ia parts of Illinois
Ohio and Pennsylvania there has been the same
drOuth this season.
The grasshoppers, chinch bugs, potato bugs
and other minor troubles have scourged the
States north and south of MS, more or less every
year. No locality throughout the country seems
free from all the drawbacks which the farmer is
called to meet year in and year out.
Ii must not be forgotten how lately Kansas
corn cribs were full 20 overlooking with fifteen
cent corn, where nothing but feeding to Texas
cattle would carry off the surplus Kansas will
have little use this yeaz for these long horned
long legged corn cribs, which have brought more
loss than gain to the State. What shall we dot
says farmer whose crops have been taken by
drouth and grasshoppers. Dot Why, fight and
hang until another season brings plenty. Every
ton of hay it is possible to secure must be put in
stack. The scarcity of grain will make a demand
for every load of hay that can be saved. 1t will,
in some border counties of the State, require an
of grit to go through this year that
has not been required in Kansas since 1860. This
may be true also of some of the drouthy spots in
tke interior of the State. For these localities
suffering. either from drouth or QrassboDDerg

admit that the two most essential and impera- |

WINE RECEIPTS.

TO MAKE BLACKBERRY WINE.-Gather the
fruit when ripe, on a dry day. Put into Q vessel
with the head cut, and tap fitted near the bot
tom, pour on boiling water TO cover the berries
stand covered till the pulp rises to the top and
forms crust. as it will do in three or four days
Then draw of the fluid into another vessel, and
to every gallon add one pound Of sugar, mix
well, snd put into cask, to work for week OF
ten days, and throw off any remaining lees, keep
ing the cask well filed particularly ut the COM
mencement. When the working has ceased, bung
! il down. After about six months it may be bot
tied.
ELDERBERRY WIxE.-Gafher the berries ripe
and dry; pick them, brnise them with your hands,
and strain them. Let the liquor lie in glazed
earthern vessels for twelve hours to settle. Put
to every pint of juice pint and a half Of water,
and to every gallon of this liquor three pounds
of sugar. Set in kettle over the fire, and hen
it is ready to boil, clarity t with the white Of
four or five eggs. Let it boil one hour, and when
il is almost cold work il with strong ale yeast,
good yeast and turn it, filling up the vessel FROM
time TO time with the same liquor, saved on pur-
pose, as it sinks by working. In q menth's time,
if the vessel holds about eight gallons, it will be
fine and fit to bottle, and after bottling, will be
good TO drink in twelve months, if you can wait
that long, if not, use sooner.

ELDERBERRY WINE.-I saw an advertisement
for making elderberry wine. This is the Eng
lsh way of making it: Three quarts of berries,
5quarts of water; pounds of sugar (white) to
gallon, l ounce Of ginger crushed, ounce of al
spice to gallons, I onnce of cloves to gallons.
Berries and water boiled over slow fire for four
hours, and strained and press, and then hoiled,
all mixed, over slow fire one hour, and kept
stirring, and then pour into vessel and let stand
until lulewarm, and then add little yeast or
BARN, covered over with piece of toasted bread,
and stand fer three days. and then bottle off, and
the longer it is kept standing the better.

TINE or SowING GRASS SEEDs.-Experience
has proved so far as the observation Of the wri-
ter goes, that August or early in September is
the best time to SOW grass seeds, about the
same time with sowing tunips. THERE'S usually
sufficient rain at that season to eause the seeds to
terminate. The young plants will have time to
make sufficient root to stand the severest cold of
winter. When sown at this time there is a gain
of season, as clover. lucerne and several of the
grasses, if sowed without grain in August, viii

there be a failure of the seed, an opportunity to
