Smut in Wheat.

A California correspondent o1 the Department of Agriculture writes :-"We have neither rust nor smut in any of our wheat fields. I beg leave respectfully to differ from the advice given On page ACT Monthly Report of the Depart ment for November and Decem- Der, 1871 wherein farmers are ad- vised to discard all idea of mix ing ingredients with it (seed wheat) to distroy smut This question has been so well and thoroughly tested in our State as to be no longer even a matter of doubt. All our seed wheat is soaked from eight to twelve hours in solution of Limestone (sul- phate of copper) in the proportion of six ounces to every 100 pounds of wheat. Smut being a fungoid growth, resulting from diseased grains, the germ. or vitality of these diseased grains is killed by the solution of vitriol, and thus prevented from growing and con dominating the sound grains. A farmer here would be thought crazy were he to SOW his wheat without subjecting it to the above process"

What the Grange has Done.

R. D. Barber, of Darwin Grange Fayette County, Ind, thus sums up the benefits of the order to farmers in that locality during the past year:
 There is a better feeling among the members socially, and all seem to see the necessity of get ting out of debt. The communi ty generally are in better condi- tion financially than they have been for years. There is also a disposition on the part of mer- chants to force collections, which will result in benefit to the mem bership, for they now see that the sooner we get to the cash system the better it will be for us. Our Grange has saved several hun dred dollars during the year on what we bought. Part of the mem bers sold their hogs last year in one lot and made 90 cents on the hundred more than those who sold to the gentlemen that rode through the country cursing the Grange.
 As you cannot avoid your own company, make it as good.as pos sible.

Java Prolific Cotton.

Improved agriculture is our hobby. Whatever we raise, whether stock, cotton or corn, and whatever implements of husband " we use, we think it is a waste of time and money to devote eith- CT to any but the best. There are kinds of hogs that will make more pounds of flesh from the same quantity of food than others and it is sense,ess for us to raise the latter when the other is as easily objectionable. There are improved varieties of seeds which have been selected for earliness or proliiicness or both, and how senseless it is for us to toll in planting and cultivating less promising varieties. So with the machin- cry which we use on our farms :; none but the best, should be our motto. It is the cheapest in the end, whatever it may cost at first. The system which most of our far mers pursue, of cultivating the same piece of ground year after year until it is worn out and then clearing a new piece, having been paying taxes on this latter all the time they were engaged in using up the former, and of planting poor deteriorated seeds and culti- vatlng with implements that noth ing but the roots and stumps in our fields can offer an excuse for, is as foolish as picking seed from cotton by hand when improved machinery can do it so much cheaper and quicker. We should cease to pay taxes on reserved lands and only keep as much as we can cultivate properly, then it will grow better every year and stumps or roots will not bar the adoption of labor saving machin- cry. This sort of agriculture, as we said, is our hobby, and we are ever ready to try anything which promises to be better than what we have had in use. Pursuing this idea, we have ordered from Mir. McCauley, of Mississippi, a quantity of his improved cotton seeds, known as McCauley's Java Prolific cotton, whinh we want our farmers to test as thorouhly as their means will allow. The price is comparatively high, but it is the same which the grower charges at home, and, in compari- son with other improved seeds and the advantages it promises, it is not exorbitant.-- Weekly Grange.

Happy Husbands.

It is a mans own fault if he is unhappy with his wife, in nine cases out of ten. It is a very ex- ceptional woman who will not be all she can to an attentive hus- band, and more exceptional one who will not be very disagreeable if she finds herself wilfully neg lected. It would be very easy to hate man who, having bound a woman to him, made no effort to make her happy; hard not to love one who was constant and tender; and when woman loves she al- ways strives to please. The great men of this world have often been wretched in their domestic rcla- tions, while mean and common men have been exceedingly hap py. The reason is very plain. Absorbed in themselves, those who desired the worlds applause were careless of the little world at home; while those who had none of this egotism strove to keep the hearts that were their own, and were happy in their tenderness. No woman will love man the bett.r for being removed or prominent. Though he be first among men, she will only be prouder, not fonder; and if she loses him through thls renown, as is often the case, she will not even be proud. But give her love, ap- preciation, kindness, and there is no sacrifice she would not make for his content and comfort. The man who loves her well is her he TO and her king.

The Relations Between the Farmer and the Mechanic.

It is frequently asserted that the world is dependent on the farmer for his bread and meat, and to q great extent for clothing too. but don't let us in our ego tism forget the aid we receive from the sturdy mechanic.
 The blow and the anvil go to- pcther-the farmer and the me chanic are mutually dependent on each other and it is for the inter est of all to encourage our home mechanics. If the granges in stead of sending to some over grown monopoly for blows and wagons would encourage our own workmen who do better work, it would help build our towns, add to our wealth and taxable proper ty and create Q homo market. Let us imagine for moment that all our wagons and farming i'm Dlements were made in our own country, and that all our hides were converted into leather here, and all our boots and shoes made at home. What change it would produce ill our condition tinan- cially.
 When the granges and the farm CTS generally come to the conclu- sion to do all in their power to build up mechanical enterprises, to foster and encourage our me chanics, and to keep our money at home we shall behold a condi tion of thrift never experienced here before. Will our people think of these matters and suggest some practical plan to start some of one or more of these industries At future time I wish to call the attention of your readers to these subjects and more at length.

The patrons of Sangamon coun- tv, H., have adopted the practice of holding monthly sales of stock and produce. Already two fairs have been held, each of which more than $30, ,000 worth of cattle, horses, swine, mules, sheep and poultry were disposed of. Some cattle were sent expressly from Iowa, Kansas and Missouri for sale, and q Cincinnati firm even sent a car load of buggies, and reaped a handsome profit from the experiment.

Does Farming Pay.

The question is often asked in the agricultural papers, Does farming pay?" I will ask, does any other calling pay-for in stance, preaching, doctoring, mer- camille or mechanic pursuits? l answer, no, unless the individuals undertaking the business are qualified for the work. The same rule holds good in relation to az riculture. You may place q man on the most productive farm in the state, and if he is not fitted for the place and dislikes the bus mess, he will make a poor show at farming. On the other hand, you take a wide awake, ambitious man, who has chosen agriculture as his calling, and place him upon a small wornout New England farm, and in a short time you will see a marked change. The old, unsightly gateways and fences will soon disappear and be re- placed by more modern ones, and the dilapidated buildings will soon present a home-like appear ance, and at the same time the farm by thorough and judicious cultivation, has been steadily and surely gaining in fertility and value, and as time rolls on, this man will add to his number of acres until this once small, worn out farm becomes one of the most remunerative ones in the vicinity. Now this is what l call successful farming, and farming that pays. Some will ask, How did he do it? l will answer, by understanding and attending to his business. He made agriculture life study, and entered into t with q heart and will. No stormy days were thrown away-time with hlm was money. He took and read the papers, and watched the markets, and made all his plans and calcu- lations accordingly. Icannot give any special rule for farming, so much depends upon location and circumstances, but my advice to young men without capital is to begin small and work up, as cir cumstances allow. Many a farm CT has come to grief by having heavy taxes and interest to pay upon his farm.
 The writer of this article com. menced farming for himself upon a poor, worn-out twenty acre farm, at cost of four hundred dollars; paid for it with money that he had earned working out by the year, at ten dollars per month. Soon after buying my farm, made an addition of eleven acres of wood land, which I cut off and sold, using the money in buying other small tracts of land, until my farm contains over one hun dred acres, and all paid for. do not intend to cultivate any more land than l can cultivate we'll

THE SUN SHOWER.

BY MRS. NJ @. HARMON REYNOLDS
Look the sun shower comes In CRYSTALS clear
Ernging each twig with sorrowless tear,
washing the face of the houses clean,
Catching bright tlnts from the moist sunbeam
All over the land q blessing it brings,
Refreshing the harvest, swelling the springs,
The cow, with chewing voluptuous jaw,
Lies down TO enjoy the Creators law,
And lifts her brow, parched and tall,
To feel the cool baptism fall;
The lion stalk from his darksome lair,
And shifts, and snuffs, and drinks the air
And waves his name, and looks around,
And roars with mighty, grateful sound
And the mountains reecho his rolling yell,
AS If vieing with him the favor to tell;
And the birds catch life in their dropping wing
And circle on high, and, rejoicing, sing;
And the fower-seed bursts in its hot, dry bed
AS if too full of JOY at thus being fed
The brow-reeking laborer leans on his spade,
And thanks his God for the shower fIe ha
made;
And the lark whirls over the cool, wet tree,
And his hot throat ripples with grateful glee,
As, drinking the rain, he wings 10 the sky,
AS II eager to rush and thank the Most High
Look! the rainbow spans the heavens free,
Unfurled along the sky we see
Again the tlood-bom promise given,
Clad in hues of beauty and heaven.
