JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND

readers to the advertisement of this
old and reliable Agricultural and Gran
ger paper that appears in another col
umn. 1t has been published in Saint
Louis for great number of years and
is the leading paper of it's class in the

worthy, and ifany of our friends desire

this one.

ter trade, and by the 5th instant say
their line will be very complete. And
as they aim to discontinue the present
business with the close of the season,
they intend to offer their goods at
prices they feel certain will not be COM
peted with in any of the Southwestern
markets. Our merchants and others
buying goods by the piece would do
well to give them call.

THE CULTIVATION OF cas-
TOR BEANS AND FLAX.
! A. nH SEED.
QUALITY OF SEED.

Too much pains can not be taken
to get that which is fully matured
and perfectly clean-free from all
foul seeds-both to secure q good
merchantable crop and to preserve
the land on which 1t is sown from
troublesome weeds. Farmers often
experience great difficulty In pro-
curing such seed, as no ordinary
tanning mill will remove some of
the worst enemies of the farmer and
good fax.
The linseed oil manufacturer who
receives the crop of large section
of country is.Eienabled to select
choice lots of seed and reserve them
for sowing, and then, by machinery
too expensive and cumbrous for or
binary use, to clean it so thorough
ly that he can give out each year an
almost perfect article of sowing
seen. Such seed is superior to that
ordinarily obtained in themarket,
and even at seed stores. With good
seed to SOW, there is nothing like
fax as q preparatory crop for wheat.
The testimony of Ohio farmers,
where fax has been EXTENSIVELY
grown for over a quarter of CEN
fury, is explicit on this point.
TINE AND MANNER OF SOWING.
The seed should be sown so soon
in the spring as the land can be got
in proper condition-say the latter
part of March to the middle OF
April. We have heard that il is
sometimes injured at a particular
stage of its growth, by frost; but
we have cultivated ii, and seen il
cultivated for more than twenty
five years, and have never known
any injury to occur to it from frost
To avoid frost, it should not be-
planted till about the first of May il
the latitude of st. Louis; but if tho
season should be dry, the flax will
not get large enough to resist the
drouth of summer. Therefore, W.
think it better, in dry seasons, Il
SOW the seed early in April. Some
farmers do sow the seed as early a!
in February, on the snow. 1t may
be sown with safety at almost any
time in spring.
The seed is scattered evenly anC
thinly over the surface OF thC
ground by hand. 1t should be GOV
cred by drawing brush over it, in.
stead of narrowing it, as by the lat
ter method it is covered too deep
Only very slight covering is re.
quired. a heavy rain, Immediately
after the seeding, will cover thu
seed sufficiently; or, drawing {
heavy roller oyer the ground vii
answer the same purpose. But, IL
these cases, the soil must have beer
made very mellow and fine before
sowing the seed.
srF. QUANTITY OF SEED PER ACRE.
Not over half q bushel per acre
in any case, should be sown. By
thin sowing, the stalks will bt
stronger, and throw out vigorou:
branches, which will produce large
bOlls filed with plump seed, con
tanning q very large per cent. of oil
By thick seeding the plants are les
strong, branch but little, the sur
cah strike only the tops of tn,
plants, and the seeds will be small
er, lighter, and will not contain
within fifteen or twenty per cent
the amount of oil that seed viii
when raised by thin sowing.

HUMILIATION, FASTING
AND PRAYER-PROC-
LANIATION.

Whereas, God Almighty has es-
tablished certain fixed laws OF Ma
ture, for the government of the
Universe and all that is in it;
which laws, if faithfully obeyed,
will produce only good results,
and all ills come from violations
of those laws:
And whereas; God never inter
poses directly in the affairs OF this
earth, for good or bad, except
through the certain action of his
fixed laws-a man may thrust his
hand into the fire, and pray until
his teeth drop out, but the fire will
continue to burn him, a nation
may violate the laws of health or
of production, and may fast and
pray until heir entrails are like
shitepokes', and their knee-bones
wear holes throug marble floors,
but pestilence and famine win
prevail; ,. -.r
And whereas, true prayer con-
sists In acts, and in strict observ-
ance of the natural laws Of God;
Therefore, by virtue of authori-
ty vested i'll it, by its obligation to
do all in its power to -enlighten
the people and promote their well
fare, the Kansas Chief issues this,
its proclamation:
A season of Humiliation, fasting
and prayer is set apart, commenc-
ing on Thursday, the Sd day OF
June, 1875, and to continue per-
petually, that the Plague sent up
ON our people for their sins in
violating the laws of God may de-
part from US, and never more re-
turn.
Our sins have consisted in
wickedly and wantonly killing the
birds provided by nature for de-
stroying noxious insects; in rob
hing the face of the earth of tim.
Der and grass, the sources of mois-
tnre, thus drying up streams, pro.
ducing drought, and inviting the
nyriads of destructive insects pc.
,cnliar to arid and barren regions;
and In taking from the soil all we
can get, without returning any
thing for compensation.
Let your fasting be total alb
stinence from cruel sports, where
by the creatures sent to protect
as from plaques are destroyed.
Let your prayers consist in plant
ing groves to incite moisture an6
rainfall, TO ward off tempests il
summer and rude blasts in Winter

sweeping over the face of the
country, depriying it of its natur
