BLUE sTONING WHEAT.

There seems to be something in the dry
climate Of California peculiarly favorable to
the development of smut in wheat, and hard
~ crop of wheat is planted in which it does
not make its appearance, unless the seed
wheat has previously been blue stoned. The
process Of blue stoning on the great wheat
ranches of California is as follows:
Fifteen pounds Of pure blue vitrol are dis
solved in eighty gallons of water. The
wheat is placed in sacks and dipped in the
water, where they are kept until the wheat
is thoroughly moistened; after dripping for
few moments over the side of the vat the
sacks are taken out and the wheat is ready
for sowing. Wheat that is SO thoroughly
blue stoned that it will poison cattle is snrer
as a preventative against smut than if soaked
in weaker solution. While a good crop of
wheat is almost always obtained if the seed
is blue stoned, not one crop in ten would be
worth cutting without it, so completely
would it be ruined by smut.
The use of blue vitriol as a guard against
smut originated, we believe, in France, but
the solution in which the seed wheel is PIT
by the French leasants is not SO strong as
the proportions water.and vitriol used by
California farmers Would make it, rs climatic
conditions in France ara not so favorable to
smut as in California.

ruE most E9mentabIe condition that exists
among farmers is their disposition to grum
Me, and which has become chronic. 1t has,
perhaps. existed for ages, and been handed
down from father to son through Il long line
Of ancestry. and VIII. perhaps, continue for
yeps to come While it must be admitted
That but one man at time can stand upon
the apex Of human grandeur, all seem in
clinel to grllmhle because it is not their
rood fortune to be that man. More cspe-
ciav are farmers addicted to this than other
classes. They not only grulnble at their
hard lot but there is at least a class of them
that find fault with everything. Last year
we heard some Of oar farmer friends corn
planning. saying that there was 30 use seed
ing their l&ud, :ls the grassuoppers would
certainly deyonr ali that came forth, though
for all this those who did SOW rcaped a small
crop, and the country was not left destitute
OF provisions. This season we hear the
same persons saying that they will not SOW,
that tis not worth while, that the seasons
crop will be so large that it will not pay for
raising, etc. Now, we would just like to
know what condition of affairs would suit
these people We confess we are at loss
TO know Of any thing or condition Of times
that would satisfy all Of our farmers. There
area few exceptions to all general rules.
When we find the exception to this one in
particular we generally find a man who is
thrifty and progressive. When his crops are
threatened with hoppers he labors hard,
fights them Off from his fields, knowing that
it he succeed even partially he will reap q
handsome reward. II, on the contrary, there
ha prospect of an abundant harvest, he
works the harder, knowing that if prices are
low he must have the more to sell. 1t does
seem to us that this is correct view of the
subject. The less they complain or the more
they keep their grievances within them
selves the better they are. off. Keep your
own counsel, and above all things keep not
yourself and everybody about you miserable
oy mcessant grumblin@.

AMERICAN POTATOES ABROAD.

1t is said that the English people go into
ecstaces over some Of the American varieties
OF potatoes, and we do not wonder at it.
if they have nothing better of the kind than
those we have seen from abroal. At one
time we imported tlirty-two sorts, and they
were, with scarcely a single exception, yel-

the saloons Of our city, imported French DO

are dry and mealy, they are mainly of yell

IMPRcVINGG G SEED.

A correspondent, writing to the Couut1v
Gentleman, says: In your article on chang
ing seeds you advise "a continued selection
from the most productive stalks" No one
Will probably deny the advantage Of this
practice. But why not 60 at once to the
heart OF the matter and select from stalks
that themselves were grown from seed that
also was selected? This would corresponds
to the in-and in breeding Of animals, and be-
ing in direct line, might thus advance the
Improvement more rapidly and with more

Evening Selace.


The human heart has hidden treasures,
In secret kept, In silence sealed;
The thoughts. the hopes, the dreams the
pleasures,
Whose charms we're broken il revealed.
And days may pass in gay confusion,
And nights in rosy riot ny,
While, lost IN Fame's or Wealth's illusion,
The memory Of the past may die.
But there are hours Of lonely musing.
Such as in evening silence chine
When, son as birds their pinious closing,
The hearts best feelings gather home.
Then in our souls there seems to languish
A tender grief that is not wee
And thoughts that once wrung 81 ans Of an
guish
Now cause but some mild tears to fiow.
And feelings. once as strong US passions,
Float softly baek-a faded dream
Our own sharp griefs and wild sensations.
The tale of the others sunerings seem +;
Oh when the heart Is freshly bleeding.
Ho* longs it for the time to be.
When, through the mist Of years rccetling,
Its woes but live in revery!
And II can dwell on moonlight glimmer,
On evening shade and loneliness
And, while the sky grow dim and DINNER.
Feel no untold and strange distress
Only deeper impulse given
BY lonely honr and darkened room
70 solemn thoughts that soar to heaven,
Seeking life and world to come.

Summer before last, when Gen.
Judson Fitzpatrick was canvassing
Indiana for the republicans, he
spoke of Gen. Forrest in such o
way that the latter challenged him
10 fight q duel. As soon as the
challenge was sent Forrest wrote
to Gen. Basil Duke, of Kentucky,
that, in case his invitation was acc
cepted-which he did not doubt

Duke to be his second. The lct-

Gen. Duke to insist that the duel
should be fought on horseback with

DISCOVERY OF A MONSTER Con-
TANNING THE REMAINS OF A
HUMAN BEING.

II
Mr.. Henry Woodard owns .
stock ranch in the Indian territory,
IN that Peoria nation, on which is
situated the big sulphur spring.
The spring is surrounded by a
ouag,nire, which is very deep and
"slushy," aud so soft that It will
not bear any considerable weight.
Mr.. w. lately undertook to curb
up the spring in order to get wat
er more easily, and while working
in tho mire came upon what ap-
pcarcd to be an enormous bone.
lie at once began an examination,
which disclosed the startling fact
that II was the head Of some mann
mouth beast. His curiosity was
aroused, and, with the assistance
of three other men, he began the
work Of excavation. For four days
they worked, but did not succeed
in bringing the monster to the sur
face. They threw of tho mari,
but could not lift tho head Of this
golitic giant. They found the
skeleton well preserved aud the
immense teeth still. in the jaws.
The jaws were both IN place, and
the spinal column attached to the
Uranium. The earth was thrown
of from the body to the length Of
twenty feet, but still the gigantic
| skeleton remained beneath. Three
Of tho front ribs were forced out,
and proved by measurement to be
each eight feet in length. The
dirt was removed from the inside
OF the osscous structure, and there
lay the skeleton Of human being,
with one hundred and two flint ar.
row points and fifteen flint knives
The Uranium indicated that II was
the skeleton Of an Indian. II
would have been impossible for tht
| man to have been inside the AMI
NAL without having been swallow
cd by him. and his. theory is sub
stantiatcd by the fact that th'
bones Of his right side Of the skclc
| ton were broken and mashed ap
parcntly by force. The monster
| therefore, must have been carni
verons, which Is also proven b.
the teeth, which exhibit the mark
| cd characteristics Of a Aesh-eatini
beast. A large molar and two in
cisors, takon from tho upper Jaw
were exhibited to us at our oflic
, yesterday, the largest one weigh
ing eight pounds and measuring
by four inches in size. There ar
two large molars and two blum
, tnsks on each side Of the jaw th
teeth between the molars and tn
: tusks are incisors, having froI
s two to six points and correspond
ing prongs to each tooth. In fror
Of the tusk the teeth are similar |
:. those Of most carniverous anima
$ In shape. All the bones indicai
I that they have lain buried for q
incredibly long period, as the
L crumblc rapidly when brought
Y contact with the atmospher
Every circumstance goes tosho
Il that these are the largest amin
n remains ever rcsurrected, and u
e teeth, tusks and structure Of u
Is head anc. jaws prove unmistakab
that It was Of the carnivcrol
class,-Carthagc mo- Patriot.
