Facts Worth Rem m b ering.

1t is worth while tor all farmers
everywhere to remember that thor
ough culture is better than three
mortgages on their farms.
Thatan offensive war against weeds
is. five times less expensive than de-
tensive one.
That good fences always pay bet
ter than lawsuits with your neigh
bors.
That hay is good deal cheaper
made in summer than purchased in
winter.
That more stock perish from fam
inc than founder.
That horse who lays his ears
back and looks lightning when any
one approaches him is vicious. Do
not buy him.
That scrimping the feed of fatten-
ing hogs is waste of grain.
That o>er-fed fowls will not lay
eggs.
That educating children properly
is money lent at 100 per cent.
That one evening spent at home
in study is more profitable than ten
spent in lounging about country tav-
ems.
That cows should always be milk
ed regularly and clean.

Tho Outlook for Grain.

The events of the past few days do
not point to any advance in the price
of wheat and other grains. When
we take into account the vast amount
of poor wheat that was grown i'll the
country the past season, which is sell
ing below actual cost of production,
and that spring wheat of good quail
ty only commands Sl.25 i'll New
York, very inadequate encourage
ment is afforded to growing wheat
tor shipment from the West. In our
issue of last week we gave very full
English farm and weather notes, and
although these accounts point to a
very discouraglng state of affairs
with the farmers on the British
Islands, still it is very apl aren't that
there is an over production of the
cruder article grown upon the farm
for shipment abroad, as heavy wealth
er vicissitudes and other customary
drawbacks do not seem to md prices
upwards as formerly. The world
has never seen SO much wheat Sin
sight" at New York as at present.
Fourteen and Il quarter millions of
bushels awaiting for buyers to ad-
vance upon $l.25 tor No. 2 Spring,
and $l.4O to $3.50 choice winter.
And this too with rates advanced by
combination Of the leading trunk
lines that do our carrying eastward.
The latest reports from Great Brit
ain show larger amount of wheat
in store at this time, than at the same
date last year, and the daily receipts
are ahead of the daily consumption.
And as to corn, there is no dis
guising the fact that the new crop
will fatten stock less rapidly than the
corn of last year, and when dried out
and sent forward to market, it will
rate lower in quality and price.
All these things point to the nee
essity of western farmers, SO far re-
moved from the leading markets as
they are, doing that which we have
so often urged III these columns, viz:
pursuing a more diversified system
of farming, and by all means avoid
being forced to sell such products off
the farm as drain it of its productive
capacity, leaving no profit in our
pockets instead Western Eurm

Care of House Plants.

Window plants are much thought
of by the ladies of Keokuk, some of
whom tenderly care for as fine col
lections as are to be found anywhere.
The following from an experienced
hand will be read with interest and
the suggestions regarded with the
consideration they deserve:
Many persons who have the care
of window plants seem to think that
the operation Of watering is one Of
the simplest incident to their charge.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that the duty of the water is to dis
solve and carry to the Ioots OF the
plants the food which they necd.-
Some plants must have season of
comparative rest, and if such are wa
tered literally during this time they
will keep on growing and the neces-
sary rest is not obtained. When any
one says that they succeed very well
with certain classes OF plants, such as
the fuschia, Gala, lobelia and ivy, and
fail with others, he may be at once
set down as being profuse waterer,
who, by too much water, Injuries or
destroys such plants as will not bear
it. Many plants are permanently i'll
jured by water remaining in the sau-
Ger; others often suffer from bad
selection of the soil. Some amateur
florists fail with certain class of
plants, of which the begonia may be
taken as type, because they shower
the leaves with cold water; but for
this very reason they are eminently
successful with another class, OF
which the camellia may be taken as
type. AS a general rule, the texture
of the leaf may be taken as an index
Of its power to resist the application
of water. Plants having open, por-
Gus or tleshy leaves, covered with
soft down, should be seldom, if ever,
moistened, while those having glossy
or hard leaves, will do all the better
if washed frequently. Ivies, hoyas
and cobns seem to laugh at us after a
good dashing, but begonias, colcus,
and plants of the same class, do not
appear to appreciate it.-Er.

Animal Resources Of the United
States.

The Smithsonian Institute is at
present engaged in making a collcc-
ton to illustrate the resources of the
United States as derived from the an
imal kingdom; and to this end invites
the cooperation OF all who have it in
their power to render any aid in the
undertaking. This will form part of
til, Governmental display to be made
in accordance with the act of Con-
gress of March 8, 1875, and the Exc
cutive order of March 5, 1875.
The general obj Of this exhibit
ton is to show first, specimens of all
the animals of the United States
which are hunted or collected tor any
economical purpose whatever; second,
the products derived from the various
species, both in their crude and their
applied or manufacturing condition;
third, the apparatus or devises by
means of which, directly or Indirect
ly, these objects are pursued, captur-
ed and utilized by sportsmen, hunters,
trappers and others.
Fol the purpose of rendering this
exhibition complete and strictly ma
tional in its character the Smithson-
ian Institute invites donations Of the
aforementioned objects from manu-
tacturers and de; lcrs, and commune
cations concerning them, with the
guarantee that full credit shall be
given to all contributors on the labels
of the articles and in the catalogues
and publications of the exhibition.
After the collection referred to has
served its purpose at the lnternation-
al Exhib ton it will be transported
to Washington and form a part of the
permanent display of the National
Museum, in charge Of the Smithson-
ian Institute, where, rs in Philadel-
phia, proper acknowledgement will
be made to all who have aided in
rendering 1t complete.
The more expensive articles will
be received as loan, should they be
deemed important to the exhibition,
to be afterward returned; but it is
expected that, as far as possible, all
specimens will be presented, SO that
they will form part of the permanent
display at Washington.
Specimens may be sent by express
or mail; or, if in large bulk. by rail
road conveyance. Their transporta-
ton will be paid OH receipt in Wash
ington, to which place they should
be forwarded, addressed to the Smith
sonian Institution, and marked ''In-
ternational Exhibition, 1876" and
with the name and address of sender.

To Measure Corn in the Crib
This rule will apply to crib OF any
size or kind. Two cubic feet OF
good, sound, dry corn in the ear will
make a bushel OF shelled corn. TO
get, then, the quantity of shelled corn
in crib of corn in the ear, measure
the length, breadth and height Of the
crib, inside of the rail; multiply the
length by the breadth, and the pro-
duct by the height; then divide the
result by two, and you have the mum
Der Of bushels of shclled corn in the
crib. In measuring the height, of
course the height of the corn is in
tended. And there will be found to
be difference in measuring corn in
this mode, between fall and spring,
because it shrinks very much in
the winter and spring, and settles
down.
