PREPARING PLANTS FOB WRITER.

September is a very important month
with those who cultivate flowers for the
house. During this month everything should
Many plants need change at this season, be-
fore going into winter quarters. In fact,
the health and growth of plants depend
much on potting, and the soil that is used.
Worms are quite sure to get in during the
summer. Plants soon show their presence
by making a poor growth, or assuming a
sickly hue. II plants, Ike geraniums, hello
tropes, ETC., have been taken Of the pots
and planted into the ground during the sum-
mer, they will not do so much in the way OF
blooming the fore part of The winter. For
fail show and early winter, it is better to
keep plants in pots plunged in the ground.
When cold nights come they are easily re-
moved to the house, where they will make
a fine show. Perhaps they may need new
pots before going into the house.
Orleanders, iyies, and some Others, must
be cleaned of all insects before taking in.
The leaves must be examined carefully, and
washed it the insects adhere them. The un-
der side especially, must not be neglected.
+ fine brush is sometimes useful in getting
rid of the scaly insects that iniest orleanders
| and some others.
Chrysanthemums, if in the ground, must
be taken up with care, placed III the shade
few days, and we'll supplied with water
until after their season of bloom. a good
collection of these is very desirable for tile
fall and early winter.

THU, far the fall has been beautiful, the
mornings crisp and frosty, but the days are
bright and sunny, much more SO than has
been experienced other years, when the
frost held of until November. Many are
prophesying for Il hard winter, and expect
:, blustery and changeable tall, but thus far
there is nothing to indicate that the season
will be out OF the regular average; yet, We
would saw to our farmer friends that it is
well to prepare, as no one can foretel the
seasons. Potatoes, cabbage, turnipS, ETC..
should be carefully stored away during this
month. Cabbage will stand considerable
cold and may be stored last. In storeing
vegetables tor Winter, it is we'll to rcMem-
Der that it is not always the warmest house
that keeps them best, On the contrary,
vegetables. fruits and the like are much bet
ter. preserve their natural flavor better, and
ere less liable to rot when kept quite cold.
The colder, we think, the better, just SO
they are not permitted to freeze. Ali the
art in gardening does not lie in growing ev-
erythng successfully. There is much to be
learned about putting these things up to
keep we'll. We give these few nasty re-
marks tn set our farmers to thinking.

AGRICULTURAL ITEMS.

1t has been truthtully said that but few
men can become great breeders of stock,
but this is no reason why every farmer may
not do something in the way OF being
stock breeder iii the highest sense of the
term.
The best time to top-dress grass land is in
August or September, before the tall rains
occur and after the burning heat OF summer
is past. ii then applied, the rains soak it
and carry the fertiizing properties directly
to the grass roots, where they are needed.
The earth is round, and moves in circle.
So do all natural courses run. The ocean
furnishes vapor tor the clouds, the cloud
furnishes the earth with rain, which returns
again to the sea- So from the elements OF
the soil come the vegetable growths, Which
furnish food for animal bodies, and these IN
turn furnish the fertilizers back to the soil
This cycle is absolute, and in it are all the
| hopes Of Il paying agriculture

Rarus trotted at Milwaukee on We'd
nesday, three heats against time between
the heats of the other races-the first at
three the second at four and the third at
five o'clock. The conditions were not
favorable for speed such as Rarus is
known to possess. A brisk northeast
wind and cool atmosphere constituted
the drawbacks. i satisfactory start was
effected on the first trial, and the fayorite
swung into rapid but easy gait-so
easy, in fact, that people could hardly
shake off an impression that he would
make no show of Importance in the mat
ter Of time. The quarter flag dropped
in 3d., that at the half in 90, the three
quarters flag in 1:43l, and the finish
showed 216i, which equalled Goldsmith

grounds years ago, concerning the cor
rectness aud fairness OF which there was
50 much dispute. On the second trial
/ tie pace of Rarus was quicker from the
start, and he made the quarter in 30, the
half in 1:07, the three quarters in 1;42,
and the mile in 2:15!. The third trial
showed "a at the quarter, los at the
half, l: ~ at the third, and 2:15s at the
wire. The immense concourse of people
rose to their feet and shouted with the
/ full strength of their lungs at the finish
Of each of the trials. There was good
reason for the enthusiasm, too, for the
time was the fastest ever accomplished
in the west, while the ease and steadines:

The value of trees in sanitary point

from the sense Of relief and GOODNESS

and unless a man acts is though he had

with the external appearance of every

not end with Il mans credit, but often
enhances the value Of articles which he

that disease is propagated by germs,
there are plenty of such germs living
around loose in all parts of the world.
Millions of unbgried dead strew the
plains OF China; the battle-f fields of Tur
key are the plague spots of Europe,
breeding malignant typhus and other
feycrs; India is said to have lost over
j,000,0 900 Of people by famine within 4
short time, with a renewal threatened;
cholera is said to be raging on the north
ern coast of Africa; the yellow fever is
sweeping through our Southern States

most fearful epidemics that ever depop-
ulated the globe. Timely precautions
against them are absolutely essential to

to his show, which is now out on two
years tour of the country. The Dru-

ago, to engage the Sioux chief. They
found him in Canada, and made bar
gain with him, conditional on the
United States Government permitting
him to return 10 this country without
arrest. Barnum addressed a petition
