Barley.

If we know anything about farming,
the agriculturists of this county would
do well to give some of their attention
to the raising of barley. 1t is crop
which has been wholly neglected here,
but it is one for which there is always a
ready market, and which has for years
commanded great deal better price per
bushel than ewheat. Barley will yield
on an average forty to fifty bushels per
acre, while wheat yields but twenty to
twenty-five bushels. The market price
of barley in St. Louis is one dollar and
twenty to one dollar and fifty. cents !;
wheat sells for ninety-five cents to one
dollar and fifteen cents per bushel. One
acre of barley will bring at least sixty
dollars right here in Brunswick, at the
brewery. From an acre of good wheat.
at the highest market price in st. Louis,
it would be impossible to realize more
than twenty dollars. 1t will thus be
seen that there is large difference in
favor of raising barley. for which there
is always good home market. Our
farmers should try the experiment on a
few acres at any rate.-Brunsricker.

in Germany were frozen to death on the
roads. In 1884 the Pc was frozen from
Cremona to the sea; the wine sacks were
burst, and the trees split by the action
of the frost, and with immense noise. In
1886 the Danube was frozen to the bot
tom, and remained long in that state.
In 1916 the crops wholly failed in Ger
many; wheat, which some years before
sold in England at Is, the quarter, rose
to Ed. In 1903 the crops failed in Scot
land, and such a famine ensued that the
poor were reduced to feed on grass, and
many persisted miserably in the fields
The successive winters of 1924 were
uncommonly severe. In 1868 the wine
distributed to the soldiers was cut with
hatchets. In 1888 it was excessively
cold. Most of the hOllies were killed.
Coaches drove along the Thames, the ice
of which was eleven inches thick. In
1909 occurred the cold winter; the frost
penetrated about three yards into the
ground. In l716 booths were erected
on the Thames. In 1712 and 1744 the
strongest ale in England exposed to the
air was covered in less than fifteen min
utes with ice an eight Of an inch thick.
In 1909 and again in 1912, the winters
were remarkably cold. In 1914 there
was fair on the frozen Thames.

How Good Stock Pays.

a correspondent of the Dixie Farmer
says: l will give recent occurrence or
two that has dollars and cents in it. A
Kentucky breeder recently offered live
proposition to a neighbor of mine-s35
for all the calves on his place from wean-
ing to twenty months OlL-and he de-
clined the offer. On the adjoining farms
he could have bought calves at the
same age at from 81 to So per head. He
said he would not drive them to Ken
lucky if they were presented to him.
Why? The improved breed could be
made to gross LOO pounds at three
years, the Others, if erer, at five or six
years; one consuming as much grass and
requiring the same care as the other. l
sold last fall, at the fair at Murfreesboro,
one-year old filly for S400 greenbacks :;
she was a thoroughbred, and cost no
more to raise her to that age than a
mongrel or mule-the only additional
cost being tile hrst produce. l refused
$3.50 for her second fold at five months
old. paid 1925 for another mare sold
her two year old and one year old fillies

at ten dollars each at from three to four
months old.
All the improved varieties of sheep
pay-their lambs selling at from $40 to
S25 at weaving time. The improved
breeds of poultry pay. What is it don't

4 Id Winters.

1t is very common remark during
excessive cold weather, such as we have
had occasionally during the past winter,
that the winters are getting colder. just
as it is common to hear on the other
hand, during an excessive warm summer
that the summers are getting hotter. To
those who indulge the theory that there
is danger of the earth freezing up and
becoming uninhabitable, the following
data Of the weather III olden times, as
well as comparatively modern, may be
interesting and consollng.
Speaking Of cold weather in Europe a
London paper says that in 30l the Black
Sac was entirely frozen over. In 753
not only the black sea but the straits of
Dardanelles were frozen over; the snow
in some places ros, fifty feet high.

Danube, Elbe, etc, we're SO hard frozen

There is no mode that we ever tried SO
effectual in transplanting tomato, cab
bage, cantelope, or any other tender
plants from the hot-bed or from one place
to another, as to prepare a vessel filled
with manure water ana rich soil. about
the consistency of thin mush, with which
the roots of the plant should be we'll
coated. and set in hole made with a
round piece of wood or dibble. After
being rather firmly planted, moisten
again with manure water. We have
never failed in any transplanting, when
done in this way, and the trouble is very
slight.

Inserts and Flowers.

In the ninth of a series of valua.
BILE papers, communicated by Hermann
Muller on the fertilization of flow
ers by insects, to Nature, he shows that
butterflies effect the cross-fertilization of
Alpine orchids. 1t seems that from
twelve to fifteen per cent. of the orchids
of the lowlands are fertilized by Lepi-
doptera, while from sixty to eighty per
cent. of Alpine orchids are fortified by
the same kind of insects. This corrobo-
rates, he says, his view that the predom-
inant frequency of butterflies in the
Alpine region must have influenced the
adaptation of Alpine flowers.
Muller has also shown the wonderful
modification brought about in the legs
and mouth parts of bees by their efforts
in fertiliziBg flowers.
Lubbock's charming little book on
British Wild Flowers considered in Re.
lation to Insects" has just appeared. He
says that while from time immemorial
We have known that flowers are of great
Importance to insects, it is only compar-
atively late that we have realized how
important insects are to flowers. "For
it is not too much to say that if, on the
one hand, flowers are in many cases
Necessary to the existence of insects,
insects, Oh the other hand, are still more
indispensable to the very existence of
flowers. There has thus been an

Of flowers upon insects. resulting in the
gradual modification of both"
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1875-03-27

In another place he adopts the start
ling and probably correct view that to
bees and other insect 1--WE owe the beau
ty of our gardens. the sweetness of our
fields. To them flowers are indebted for
their scent and color-nay for their very
existence, in its preset form. Not only
have the present shape and outlines, the
brilliant colors, the sweet scent, and the
honey of flowers been gradually devel-
oped through the unconscious selection
exercised by insects, but the very ar
rangement of the colors, the circular
bands and radiating lines, the form, size,
and position of the petals, the relative
situation of the stamens and pistil, are
all arranged with reference to the visits
of insects, and in such a manner as to
insure the grand object which these Wis
its are destined to effect"
Lubbock has also continued his obser-
vations on the intelligence of insects.
He confirms the conclusions presented
last year to the Linnaan Society that
bees can distinguish colors. He then
recounts some experiments on the sense
of smell possessed by bees, on the power
of recognizing their own companions,
and on the different occupations of diff.
ferent bees, mentioning observations
which seem to show that the bees act as
nurses during the first few weeks of their
life, and only subsequently take to col
lecting honey and pollen. He also re-
cords a number of experiments OH ants,
which certainly seemed to show that
whatever may be the case with bees. ants
do possess the power Of communicating
detailed facts to one another.-Harper's
Monthly.

As rule, warm water and soft cloth
are all that is required to keep glass
in good condition; but water bottles
and wine decanters. in order to keep
them bright must be rinsed out with a
little muriatic acid. which is the best
substance for removing the "fur" which
collects in them. The acid is far better
than ashes, sand, or shot; for the ashes
and sand scratch the glass, and if any
shot is left in by accident, the lead is
poisonous. Rich!y-cut glass must be
cleansed and polished with soft brush,
upon which very little fine chalk or
whiting is put; by this means the luster
and brilliancy are preserved.

Farm ano Firesiar.
Plant Corn.

The following extracts from an article
in the St. Louis Globe, applies with
equal force to the Kansas farmer as to
his more eastern neighbor.
As the season is at hand when our
rural friends must be not only consider
ing what crops they will put in for the
c,ming season, but getting ready to
plant them, it will be in place to say a
few words about the great western staple
corn. Whatever views may be enter
tanned on the subject of diversity of
crops, and however profitable of fax,
tobacco, and other unaccustomed crops
may prove to be the main reliance of the
farmers of Illinois, Missouri, and Kan
sas, if not Of States lying north and south
of that belt. Especially will this prove
true during the coming crop season. For
the two years last past the corn crop has
been quite small, not only in the above
mentioned States, but generally through
out the country. The yield of 1873 was
hardly more than two thirds. and that of
1874 hardly half crop. As conse-
sequence, corn and pork have ruled high
and are now very scarce. The granaries
of the country are about emptied, and
there will be TO old corn on hand to
compete with the crop that is to be
gathered in 1875. No matter how favor.
able season we may have, and no mat
ter how large crop the operations of
the year may close, the supply of corn is
not at all likely to exceed the demand,
and the farmer may be sure of being
well rewarded for his labor, whether he
sells his crop in the sack or in the hog
The principal point to be attended to
is early planting. There is always more
danger in planting too late than in
planting too early. Corn should be put
into the ground as soon as the soil is
ready to receive it. Early planted corn
escapes the drought, the chinch bug, the
frost, and no further argument is needed
to show the necessity Of early planting.
As for manuring and careful cultivation,
everybody recognizes these requisites to
a successful corn crop. The experiences
of last year should teach our farmers not
to plant corn field, especially of late
corn, near winter wheat, or SO to protect
them by trenches as to keep off these
summer pests. If these precepts should
be generally observed, an immense corn
crop may be expected, such as will fill
the packets of the farmers, and largely
increase the wealtA of the country.

To Restore Painting Persons.

1t Is altogether wrong to hold up a
fainting person, and especially to keep
the head erect. Painting is caused by
want of blood in the brain, the heart
failing to act with sufficient force to
send the blood against the laws of gravi.
tation. II, then, you place person sit
ting, whose heart has nearly ceased to
beat, his brain will fail to receive blood.
Ii you lay him down with the head low
er than the heart, blood will run into
the brain from the mere force of gravity,
and, in fainting, in sufficient quantity,
generally, to restore consciousness.
