How to Detect Poison Ivy.
rom the Syracuse Herald,

From the Syracuse Herald. ft Rf
The annoying casualty which con.
fined Judge Noah Davis to the sick
room, the other day, might have been
avoided if the eminent jurist had
paid as much attention to the small
as well as to the large things of life.
The poison ivy and the innocuous
kind differ in one particular which is
too easy of remembrance to be over.
looked by any one who is enough
interested in the brilliant hued leaves
Of autumn to care for gathering them
the leaves of the former grow in
clusters of three and those of the
latter in fives. AS somebody has
suggested in a juvenile story book,
every child should be taught to asso-
ciate the five leaves in cluster with
the fingers on the hand, and given TO
understand that when these numbers
agree they can be brought into con-
tact with perfect safety. 1t may
spare our readers no little suffering
to bear this point in mind during
their October rambles in the fields.
CLEANING BOTTLES HAVING Con-
TANNED ESSENTIAL OIL.-The han
diest way is to put little powdered
bichromate of potash in the bottle,
then as much in bulk of concentrated
sulphuric acid. Let it run we'll
round, and then let it stand till the
organic PARTICLES are carbonized or
turned black. Add a little water,
shake well and rinse out.

"A CORRESPONDENT wrltlDg from
Kansas says that the area sown in
Winter wheat in that State last fall
Was not as large in the olier cour-
ties as in 1877, owing to the dry
weather but this was 10 part, if
not fully, made up by the ground
planted for the first time in the new
ly-settled portions of the State. The
early sown Fall whoa got good
start, and came through the winter
finely; while the late sown was thin,
not all of the seed terminating. The
weather this spring has been dry
and cool, the temperature having
been favorable when the lack of rain
is taken into account, as it retarded
the growth and kept it from Joint
ing, in which case it would have
been thin upon the ground. But,
within few days past warm
weather set 10, and the wheat was
commencing to shoot up. and with
out rain the prospect would have
been poor. Rain. however, set in,
and reports from all parts of the
State showed the storm had been
general The writer says the area
sown in Spring wheat is probably
considerably in excess of last year,
owing to the diminished area sown
in Fall wheat. ibis has all been
