FARM AND GARDEN.

A NFw CEREAL FOR THE WEST.--ln
the regions of western Kansas, where
there is usually 4 lack of rainfall in
any season, and where corn especially
must have plenty Of moisture to pro-
duce crop in paying quantities, a
grain that will not merely be a succeed
ancum, but will absolutely take the
place of corn, has been eXperimen.ed
with during the past three seasons, and
it is believed to be demonstrated be-
yOnd a doubt that il will add very
much to the value of Western lands.
This grain is called Egyptian, or rice
corn, and, so far as known, has not
been cultivated in any other part of the
United States. The seed was obtained
from the display made by the Egyptian
Government at the Centennial EXposi-
ton. The name is derived from the
resemblance of the grain to rice, and so
far as II has been experimental with,
has proved success, both in wet and
dry seasons. While growing this crop
can hardly be distinguished from sorg-
hum; the seed forms at the top Of the
stalk in large punches, and, Is it ripens
and gets heavier, bends over and
hangs down, not unlike cluster of
grapes. 1t belongs to the sugar cane
family and is cultivated in the same
manner and as easily as sorghum or
broom corn. One bushel of the seed Is
sufficient for five acres, and it has
been pu: In with 4 wheat drill. In
harvesting the heads only are gathered,
and a good threshiBg machine will
clean ready fer market two thousand
bushels day. The specimens raised
this year weigh sixty pounds TO the
bushel. The yield per acre in 1873 was
from sixty 10 seventy-five bushels.
This season, which, as said above, has
been a very dry one, the yield was forty
to forty-five bushels per acre. No
scientific analysis has been made of this
new grain as yet; indeed, Il is scarcely
known, except in some two or three
counties in Western Kansas, where it
has been grown by several farmers who
desired to find some grain that would
serve in place of corn as food Tor stock.
The trial by these men has satisfied
them that for horses, cattle, sheep, or
swine, it is superior TO maize, and farm
to which il is fed give it the
preference TO corn when both are laid
before them. When ground into meal
the rice corn is about equal to mix
tufe of one-thirj wheat flour a Il two
thirds corn meal.

DOMESTIC.

CLEANING COAT COLLARS, ETc.-l.(
The best material for cleaning coat col
lars and grease spots ofail kinds is pure
benZine. The article Is sold at the
principal drug stores in cities. That
used by painters is no. pure enough,
and has a very unpleasant odOr, which
the pure article has not, and the little
which 1t has soon disappears. If this
cannot be obtained, strong alcohol
(ninety-fiye per centum) will clean col
lars very well. 4 mixture of equal
parts of strong alcohol and water OF
ammonia is also used. The trouble
with all these liquids is that not enough
is used; "a small quantity only softens
and spreads the grease-spot; they
sheuld be applied in sufficient quantity
and repeated. TO not only dissolve the
foreign matter, but to wash il out. (2-)
Two ounces of rock ammonia, ounces
Of alcohol, one ounce each of spirits OF
camphor and transparent soap. Put
all together in large bottle, cover
with one quart of soft water, and when
well mixed and dissolved il is ready tor
use. Spread the coat oil 4 clean table,
take an old nail brush. or one of the
small scrubbing brushes sold as toys,
dip il in the mixture and scrub the dirty
parts thoroughly. Apply plenty OF
this, then take clean warm water and
go over it again. Hang it out until
partly dry, and press with u heavy iron
on the wrong side.

The sunflower is turned TO extraordin-
ry account in Lithuania. The seeds
yield at first pressure excellent salad
oil, aud the residue forms excellent
oiI-cake for cattle, who are also fond of
leaves and stocks chopped up. The
flowers a little short of bloom are,
when cooked, nearly as good as arti-
chokes, and are in the garden very at
tractive to bees. The leaf, well dried
is used as tobacco. The seed receptaeles
are made into blotting paper, and the
inuer part of the stalk is made into fine

X fySziss5ffiNG II ~ fii.NG Ealing G2irr.-NO aui-
NAL shculd be permitted to fall off in
condition. 1t is difficult to restore an
animal when all the food and vitality
are required TO resist the cold and hard
ships OF stormy winter. Horses that
are not at work still require good and
sufficient food and warm shelter. EX-
posure TO a storm may throw the whole
system out of order, and do mischief
that months of effort may not repair.
Prevention is the better plan. Good
hay, with few ears of corn and an Oc-
casional warm bran mash, will keep
horses in condition, but good, daily
g:ooming must never be forgotten.

AN INSECT DEsTRoYER.-An expert
enced gardener gives the following
method for effectually destroying insect
pests, both indoors and out. Take a
barrel half filled with coal tar AMI i'll
it with water, and .et it stand awhile.
Then the water may be sprlnkled on
the leaves and stems. This will kill all
the insects that come in contact with
the plants. If coal tar cannot be OBJ
tanned, Paris green may be used.
