How Keep Gathered Frnit and Flowers
Always Fresh.

A friend has just informed us that fruit and
flowers may be preserved from decay and fading,
by immersing them in solution of gum arabic
in water two or three times, waiting a sufficient
time between each immersion to allow the gum
to dry. This process covers the surface of the
fruit with thin coating of the gum, which is
entirely imperyious to the air, and thus prevents
the decay of the fruit, or the whitening of the
flower. Our friend has roses thus preserved
which have all the beauty and fragrance fresh
ly-plucked ones, though they have been separa-
ted from the parent stem since June last. To
insure success in experiments of this kind, it
should be borne in mind that the whole surface
must be completely covered, for if the air only
gains entrance at pin-hole, the labor will be all
lost. In preserving specimens of fruit, particu-
lar care should be taken to cover the stem, end
and all, with the gum. A good way is to wind a
thread of silk about the stem, and then sink it
slowly in the solution, which should not be so
strong as to leave a particle of the gum undis-
solved. The gum is so perfectly transparent.
that you can with difficulty detect its presence
except by the touch. Here we have another
simple method of fixing the heeting beauty of
nature, and surrounding ourselves ever with
those objects which do most elevate the mind
refine the taste and purify the beart.-CoTntry

sow More Wheat.

m. wheat interest is attracting more interest
IN tbis country at present than any other pro-
dnrt The country is so eminently fitted for II
fiat no other grain has any chance for suprema-
cy although other crops are very profitable.
Wheat in central Kansas occupies the same posi-
tinD that corn does in IllinOis-the principal and
most profitable crop. The present crop of wheat
is much larger than that of Last year, and the
prospect is that next years acreage will fully
double this In some of the newer Counties,
such ms Mcpherson, Rice, Ellsworth, Lincoln,
Ottawa etc more wheat wOuld probably have
been sown last wear had not times shut down so
close and rendered it almost impossible TO secure
seed The bOuntiful crop OF this season VIII
make il within the reach of all to secure plenty
of seed this Fall and we presume every acre viii
be sown 10 wheat that can be spared from other
crops But while We glad TO see large wheat
fields sown, and feel confident that this is the
best crop for farmers Ofcentral Kansas to depend
npou, vet we advise farmers Ia beware of the
dangers of risking all in one kind of husLandry
Some ground should be saved for rye barley
corn, oats, broOm-coTn, alfalfa, hungarian and
other crops. No farmer should be without a
small, at least, representation of all these crops
l. is certainly evident to every farmer in this
section, that Spring wheat is not a friend of our
soil and climate. II should be driven out of the
country, and brought in only in ease of the most
extreme emergency. 1T Improbable as a grain
whether it is breeder of chinch-bugs or not
and we cannot waste our energies and soil ON
such crops. Sow all the Winter wheat you can
spare ground for, and nine chances out of ten yon
VIII get good returns. The best variety of wheat

be particularly and truthfullv decided except by

Late Sowing Tnr,;,,

a correspondent of the Rural Nep Torke
writes In our general climate-say the aver
age OF the Connecticut shore going westward int,
Kansas all the line for 100 miles above it can ant
should be successful in growing a late crop OF
turnlps. The best ground for them Is on old SOD
turned over; next, an Oat stubble, and last, an
old-worked ground that has had no fresh or un.
routed manure placed upon it this season. Any
and all these grounds should be ploughed four
10 nve days before sowing, and then narrowed
Just before the sowing. Then SOW the seed. and
my ADVICE is to use good seed sower, by which
the most perfect work is done, and that rapidIy.
The varieties that would advise are the Old
French. The first will be the most marketable
the second the best for your own table until
ABOUT mid Winter, and then the Long French
WI, Wil carry the line through to April As soon as
tne plants show leaf above ground 60 over the
patch with sowing of plaster Paris, at the rate
OF one Dushel to the acre, sowing it as well
as you can on and along the rows. When
you drill IN your seed make the rows Is inches
apart, and work once through them with horse
and eultivator fitted to the width then thin the
row to four inches apart"

Des,,orfug w.ed.

July and August, says the Rural Ne,c Yorker,
arc probably the best months in the year for de-
stroying weeds. The Summer heats are at their
hercest, and all annual weeds cut down at the
root speedily wither and die The tougher per
ennials have made their growth for the season,
and have nearly perfected their seed. The root
then has least vitality and if the top be cut off a
feebler effort is made to reproduce it, especially
II the weeds grow in tough sod of grass. We
have known frequent mowings of thistles in sod
to reduce the vitality of the patch so much that
1t would produce only here and there a stalk I'M
til the field was ploughed again.
In the growing corn August is of all months,
the time to destroy Canadian thistles and quack.
Keep the plant down as much as possible early
IN the season, then, as the corn begins to tassel
out, go through with light hoe and cut every
spear of thistle and pull up every blade of quack
with all the root that can be got attached. The
quack should be put in heaps and burned, but
the thistle roots will seldom if ever start again,
and pulling up at this season of the year. or even
cutting off, is final and certain destruction. The
cost of doing this is not large, varying with pri-
ces of labor and abundance of weeds but we are
satisfied that it is always a profitable operation
on all land foul with thistles. We have repeat
edly had the cost more than repaid not only in
the corn crop, but in the succeeding oats and
barley besides leaving the land cleaner for years
thereafter.

they are worth now 81 per bushel. This is the

The Virtues OfRye,

1t has long been a favorite belief that rye was
grain of great value, especially in the manufac-
ture Of certain beverages. 1t has been supposed
there was no limit to its usefulness in this direc-
ton and also that it was of little use for any
other purpose. But here comes a gentleman
from Cowley County who asserts that rye has
another claim to the consideration of the hnman
family. 1t is destroyer of the prairie sod, and
renders the latter as friable as fallov ground
The story is this:
An important discovery in agriculture has been
made, by some of our farmers. 1t is that rye,
sown in the Fall, upon Rnbroken prairie will
take root and grow if planted on fallowed
ground 1t may be pastured during the Fall and
Winter, and will then bear good yield of grain.
Two years of this cultivation will completely rot
the sod as ifbroken in the first place with plow
Some prefer to hetchel the sod with fine tooth
harrow, after sowing, but it is often not DONE
When first informed of this innovation in rye
culture, l thought it fishy, but investigation
proved the truth of it,

CUcUMBERs AS VEGETABLE.-Peel them sew
eral hours before they are to be used. Sprinkle
with salt slightly, after cutting into thin slices,
and pour over them little iee-water. This pro-
cess extracts from them all bitterness, and rem
ders them wholesome Pour off the water Just
before you need the dish, add vinegar and pep
per, and it is ready for the table. Every house
keeper should be aware of the fact that the peel
ings of cucumbers serve as a poison for cock
reaches. If strewn at night over the floor of a
kitchen infested with such vermin, they will be
found to have been greedily devoured by the
creatures, which die in consequence.

HAY.-"Hay cut in July is the bestr-Er-
change.
We have seen similar statements in MANY of
the papers in this State. But several of our
best farmers say that the assertion is not we'll
founded. They state that prairie grass, cut in
does not make the best hay, and that it is
very likely to spoil. The best time for cutting,
their experience proves, is when the prairie
grass has fully mstured, and this is not the case
until from the middle of August until the first of
September. Prairie grass cut about that time
is more nutritious than ifcut earlier, and is not
up plenty of hay this Fall. There will he n de-
mand for it. Don't be afraid of getting too
much Better have too much than too Iittls~
