How to Raise Plumbs.

There is no secret about plumb raising.
We have discovered it in travelling over
the country. We never visited large
plum orchard in our life that we did not
find plenty of fruit. And we neves
visited any place with eight or ten trees
and found good crop of this fruit.
Now, these facts set us to thinking; and
the result of our thoughts is this; that
it is very easy to have all the plumbs
you want to cat and sell. The secret
connected with plumb raising is to plant
plenty of trees, so as to give fruit to the
curculio and to yourself also. II you
plant fifty or hundred trees, you will
have fruit enough for everybody. Ev-
cry such orchard that we ever visited
had plenty of ripe fruit. Some even
complained that curculio did not thin
out the fruit enough-that the trees
were overloaded. So we say to our
readers, if you plant plums at all, plant
fifty or one hundred trees-then YOU
will be sure to have all the fruit YOU
want, and it is one of the most profitable
crops raised.-Annual of Phrenology and
Physiognomy for 1875.

Agricultural Literature.

The time has not long since passed
when farmers were very Indifferent to
the assistance which scientific investi
cations could offer them through the
press, and when Improvements were
regarded merely as innovations arising
from some interested motives, and we're
looked on with dis:rust if not with con.
tempt. But it is one of the most stirring
and encouraging signs of the times in
the history of agriculture that men of
the highest attainments i'm science are
vieing with each other in their efforts
for the scientific knowledge connected
with agriculture; and the intelligent and
practical farmer is ready and anxious to
avail himself Of their teachings through
the channels of literature. Inventive
mechanic ingenuity has also brought its
tribute to the form of improved machin.
cry of inestimable value tn the asricul-
turist. Progress now eharacterizes every
department of farm work, and it must
continue as long as the mind of man can
devise and his hand execute.

Flax Culture.

Prof. Shelton has written an artic
for the Kansas Farmer caationins the
people against rushing into flax culture
on large scale, before it has been more
thoroughly tested. His conclusions
which accord with our own views, are as
follows:
Elm conclusion l desire to call a.ten.
ton to a few of the objections to the cul.
tivation of fax; facts which my own
experience have suggested and which
candid writers generally admit.
1. Flax seed is an exceedingly ex-
haustive crop, and especially when per-
mitted to arrive at maturity. When
pulled down its effects are less injurious
but still at whatever period reaped, it
must be considered an impoverisher
of the farm, as its stems yield no return
in manure.
2. Where the seed is ripenel, the Fl.
bre seems to be almost worthless. and
crop Of ten or fifteen bushels
of seed is not a large return. Moreover
it would seem that anything like gen.
eral cultivation of this plant would rap
idly reduce the value both of seed and
fibre.
3. Whether seed is a special antido.e
Tor our dry summers, is an open question.
The fact that in the comparatively hum
ID climates of Flanders and Ireland it is
The most successfully cultivated does not
ook encouraging.
4. Flax in its slender habit has al.
most no influence in checking the growth
IT weeds and by an early growth of the
'rop is easily ruined. The English
preceded the crop of fax by some clean
ng crop, usually turnips.

Don't cover the seeds more than half an

thinned out and set in another box. To
mark ont the ground and put the seed

Sleeplessness.

To take hearty meal just before re-
firing is of course, injurious, because il
is very likely to disturb ones rest, and
produce nightmare. However, little
food at this time, if one is hungry is de.
cidedly beneficial; it prevents the
knawing of an empty stomach. with its
attendant restlessness and unpleas.

headache, or of nervous aud other de-
rangements, the next morning. One
should no more lie down st night hungry
than he should lie down after very
full dinner; the consequences of either
being disturbful and harmful. A crack
er or two, a bit of bread and butter, or

lieve the senses of vacuity, and so restore
the tone of the SYSTEMS all that is
necessary.
We have known persons, habitual suf-
ferers from restlessness at night, to ex-
perience material benefit, even though
they were not hungry, by a very light
luncheon before bedtime. In place Of
tossing about for two or three hours
as formerly. they would soon grow
drowsy, fall asleep. and not awake more
than once or twice until sunrise. This
mode of treating insomnia has recently
been recommended by several distin-
gnished physicians, an l the prescription
has generally been attended with happy

GrOwing Potatoes.

J. Z. Leslie in the Maine Farmer, has
been experimenting with cut seed and
says in reference to the subject: ain
the first place q bushels of cut seed are
not in proportion to nine bushels OF
whole potatoes. We calculate one halt
as much seed cut as we plant whole,
would have given sixty-nine bushels
from half the seed that produced forty
nine. Planted whole, this would have
given 20 bushels, which at fifty-cents a
bushel would be ten dollars. s44 bushels
of seed equal to $3.50, and giving $3.50
in favor of cutting seed. 1 have been
experimenting in cutting seed and have
harvested this year, $40 bushels of nice
potatoes, from ten bushels of seed, plant
ed on one acre of land. We selected our
largest potatoes and cut one or two eyes
on piece. not planting the seed ends.
We plant in drills about eight inches
apart, taking worn out grass land that
would not produce one-half ton of hay
to the acre pillow late in the fall and top
dress in the spring with green horse ma
nure. In this way we have raised tn e
last five years, all our potatoes at a cost
not exceeding ten cents per bushel, and
averaging more than three hundred
'ushel to the acrs. The next we follow

Farmers Blenders.

A correspondent Of the Pacific Rural
Press thus writes of blunders made by
farmers. He says: "For one, mine
have been numerous. Much has been
learned by bitter experience only; such
for example, as hanging fresh hide on
the fence to dry in the sun, and after.
wards selling it at fifty cents, whereas
it would have brought two dollars if well
dried in the shade.-But the blunder of
blunder of farmers has been the high
rates of interest paid for the use of mon
ey. Much of the money borrowed from
the banks on mortgage on the farm, is
now drawing interest quarterly and even
monthly, at a ruinous rate, at that. Per-
sons have run in debt under the impress
sion that interest would be coming down
lower, when, Of course, land would 60 up
and many of them have come to the con-
clusion that they are making farm blum
ders. Now, tas success is the measure of
ability let the class walk up meekly,
weak sisters as they are, and take their
black marks as bad managers; and be
fore streak of luck strikes them let them
caution the inexperienced ones who have
not yet put their foot into it. 1t is not
always popular to tell the truth, but it is
generally proper; and let us advise be-
ginners to go slowly and cautiously, and
shun debt as much as possible, and es
pecially at the present rate of interest.

Peanuts.

i The production of peanuts in the
United States has increased wonderfully
during the past ten or twelve years. In
Philadelphia alone over 6O0, 900 bushels
are annually sold, while the entire crop
Of the country reaches three times that
quantity, or about two million bushels,
valued at s3,000,O00. Previous to the
year 1860, according to the agricultural
report, the total product of the United
States did not amount to more than $780,
900 bushels, of which North Caro- lima
furnished $4,000. The great portion of
the crop is raised in Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and South
Carolina.
As an article OF food they are valuable
but their Importance in a commercial
point of view is much greater on account
of the oil they contain. The oil is in
large demand, and serves every purpose
for which olive or almond oil is used. It
is now being extensively used in place
of olive oil, particularly for table use, it
being twice as good, and keeps long
time without becoming rancid. The
amount of oil contained in the nut va
ries according to latitude and other IA
vorable circumstances or conditions, and
is proportionately large.
All the oil comes from the "meat,"
the husk being of no value. The oil is
extracted by pressure, and the residuent
cake not thrown away, but is used both
for food for cattle and as manure.
Most of the oil in Europe is manufac-
tured in the countries of the Mediterra-
mean, the French depending principally
upon Algiers, where the plant fourishes
greatly, for their supply. The produc-
tion of peanut oil in this country dates
back to the war, when it was used to a
large extent for table purposes in the
South, the olive oil not being easily OBJ
tanned. 1t was used quite generally as
a substitute for lard. The cake residum
was made serviceable, too: after being
roasted and ground, it was used in place
of coffee and chocolate, making an ex-
celient beverage.

Cure for q Felon.

As soon as discovered, take some spir.
ITS OF turpentiue, in cup, dip the finger
in it. and then hold the hand near a
hot fire till dry; then dip it in again,
and repeat for fifteen minutes, or till the
pain ceases. The next day with a sharp
knife, pare off the thick skin, and you
will find something like honeycombe
hIied with clear water, open the cells
and the felon is gone If the felon is
too far gone for turpentine, oil of origa:
mum, treated in the same way, will cure.
IT too far advanced for either tn cure,
the felon will be benefited, as it will be
less painful. Never draw it.

A correspondent of the Indiana Far
n,er. says; I have stood in mud and
water TIVE or three inches deep for ten
hours day for week, without feeling
any dampness or having any difficulty in
getting my boots on or of. Ifyou would
be equally successful, before wearing the
boots give the bottoms good coating of
tallow and coal tar, and dry it in; then
oil the uppers with castor oil, about Gee
tablespoonful tn each boot; then oil
them twice a week with castor oil, when
one teaspoonful wiH lie sufficient. If
the weather should be rainy, or you are
compelled to work in water during the
day, wash your boots clean at night and
hold them by the fire until quite warm,
and oil them while wet, and you will
have no trouble about your boots getting
hard and shrinking up so that you ca :
not get them on. If the leather should
become red. give it coat of ordinary
shoe backing before oiling. The effects
of castor oil is to soften the leather.
