MARSH HARVESTER with SELF BINDER,
working on the farm Of Col. William
Pf9nder, in heavy, green rye, seven
feet in some places, and after close oh.
servation unanimously say, the Binder
did it's work splendidly and in our
opinion the Marsh harvester can, not
be beat on light1,ess Of draft. The good
work it did was far beyond our expec-
tations. We will say to our fellow
farmers if you want reliable machine,
with self:binder, one that will go
through thick and thin, then buy the
Marsh Harvester and Binder. It cuts
clean, and binds splendidly,

Of important business.
The scholars Of the Sisters school
had 2 very pleasant pic mic at the
Schuetzen Garden last Thursday after
noon. Quite a number Of our citizens,
besides many from the country, were
present, and the old, as we'll as, the
young, enjoyed themselves hugely
the various games. ''a.ss
Speaking Of tall rye, puts us in mind
of some wheat that was shown us by
7. L. Gilbert. of Lone Tree Lake, last
week. The specimen consisted Of some
two dozen stalks measuring 8 feet and
inches, on an average. The wheat
was soWn late in March, and we under
stand that the whole field from which
the specimen was taken is of the same
height. 81,

Let every citizen attend the school
meeting next Friday evening, The
question of electing a new school board
is an important one, and we hope to
see every member Of the present eff.
cient board reelected, They have
shown themselves to be men who have
the good Of the district at heart, and
the people cannot better themselves, or
the schools. by electlng new members
at this time.
We had the pleasure of witnessing a
trial of one Of the Marsh self-binding
harvesting machines last Saturday.
The trial took place in presence of a
number of farmers, and others, in
some green rye, on the farm Of Col.
Pfnnder, situated about three miles
from town. The machine worked
sp(enrdlldily, although the grain in some
places was very heavy. We under.
stand that two machines were sold on
the ground, Hanft & Franta are the
agents for this machine, in New Ulm.

Talbot & Rinke have their building
well under way. They raised the skel-

HINTS FOR IMPROVING CoRN.-Professor
Beal, of the Michigan Agricultural College,
who our readers will remember as having
given the same idea prominence in his last
years contributions to the Scientific Farmer,
thus writes in the last Michigan Reports:
" In our corn.felds are often large numbers
of slender stalks bearing no ears, or very
small ears. These stalks have tassels; and
they scatter pollen and are very apt to
scatter some on the ears of the best stalks,
on the very ears which we shall select
for seed. The different kernels on the
same ear may have twenty or more diff
ferent male parents. Now theory and
analogy at least tell us, if we wish to i'm
prove our corn to the greatest extent, we
must pay some attention to thepollen used
A much better way would be to plant g
piece of corn by itself on good soil, and
treat it well, giving the stalks plenty o.
room. Before shedding pollen, cut ou
entirely or remove the tassels of all the
poorest stalks. In this way we not only
select seed from good females, but also from
those fertilized by good males. ."-Scientyf

Save all the bones for homemade fertili-

cover the bottom with four or five inches
of unleached ashes; upon this place layer
of bones as close as they can be packed
together, covering completely with un-
leached ashes; then another layer of bones,
and thus alternate layers of ashes and
bones until the box or barrel is filed.
Pour in couple of pailfuls of water, or
place the vessel in the yard where it will
get sufficient moisture from occasional

Nothing adds so much to the beauty of
farm as neat, tidy surroundings. Farm
ers are too much occupied about the plow-
ing, planting, etc, to give much time to
light work in spring, yet it would require
but very little extra effort to spare few
hours about the house in picking up and
raking off the dirt from about the house
and barn but it would add so very much
more to its attractions, and make it far
more valuable in the eyes of others, par
ticularly those who are in search of farm
to purchase as home. Add to this the
repairing of broken hinges and gates and
all kinds of machinery, and one has relieved
himself of great discomfort and has been
rearing a refined influence, both in his own
family and that of his neighbors, and also
prolonged the life of his family by the re-
moval of that which creates disease and
death. "An ounce Of preventative is worth

Ellwanger and Barry adopt the following
remedy for insects on roses Boil four
ounces of quassia chips ten minutes in a
gallon of soft water, and after straining add
four ounces of soft soap, which should be
dissolved as it cools, stirring well before
using. With small, clean painters brush,
apply it to every infected leaf and shoot.
In fifteen or twenty minutes wash the plants
with pure water. Tobacco may be used
instead of the quassia. For some insects a
sprinkling of powdered hellebore will de.

prospect at this time is that the present
year will be, by millions of centals, the
most productive Of wheat and other cereals
ever yet experienced by the farmers of
California. The acreage of wheat is proba-
bly, thirty-fve to forty per cent. greater
than was planted in 1872, when our exports
were l7,6S9,l40 bushels, leaving home
supply of not less than S,500,00O bushels
for seed and bread. tits also probable that
the yield per acre this year will average
above that Of 1872.

if any get the disease quite badly before we
