Small Grain and Chinch Bugs.

We hear farmers complain great deal about
the ravages made on the crops by chinch bugs it
seems the little pests have destroyed the greater
part Of the spring wheat sown, and damaged the
oats some. This however. would be considered
q trifling loss if they would stop there The
nourishment received from the fields of wheat
has sharpeDed their appetites, and their numbers
having been multiplied by millions, they are
nov moving in force on the vast corn fields a
large percentage of that valued crop being al
ready damaged in some localities. IL does seem
strange TO that the FARMERS will persist in
sowing small grain, resulting inevitably in loss
TO them, as their late experience again proves.
We, of course, know very little about farming.
especially Kansas farming; but we do know and
will venture the statement, that attempting to
raise small grain in this part of Kansas is grand
mistake, and the longer farmers engage in il the
worse it will be for them. Figures could be pro-
duced clearly showing that the seed thrown
away, labor wasted, and money invested in ma
chinery used wheat cultivation, amounts to
sum large enough, if invested at current rates.
to furnish half the bread needed by the entire
community, and the other half eonld easily he
furnished by the proceeds that would he derived
from the corn destroyed, directly chargeable to
wheat raising. We would advise the farmers to
hold meetings and resolve to stop short, this
f'small grain" business. If you must have other
crops besides corn, try fax, castor beans,
ghnrn or some crop that will not breed this ire
sistible and Unsuitable enemy. Farmers give
your yiews.-Jeicel KaH.) Repabiiodn.

DEATH TO MOSQUITOES.


A correspondent in Harper Ba-ar writes
about a certain demolisher OF these pests as fol-
lows:

suffered greatly from those Unsuitable summer
nests: but now out of all his agony, he can
calmly gather mp the shreds of experience, and
jot down few facts that may help some poor

There is a remedy even for these ills, and it
is quite probable that hundreds of your readers
now have it in their houses, though ignorant Of
all its Uses, and the relief that is lying just
at their hands.

flowers the mosquito the house-fiy, the wicked
flea, and the disgusting cimex eetularius may
all be promptly put to flight or calmly murdered

Signs of Weather,

Dew is always a sign of fine weather, and is
never seen except under cloudless sky. Wind
and cloud are sure preventives of dew, from
the simple reason that the clouds are able to
retain some of the solar heat and they can
give forth warmth, the radiation from the earth
is checked, and a warmer temperature preserv-
ed Wind evaporates the moisture rs fast rs IL
appears, and if the wind is westerly, there is
little dew or cloud to be seen.
The contrary is observed with an easterly
wind; but a west wind blows a vast ex-
panse of land, and having lost its vapor, dries
up any moisture il may come across, whereas,
an east wind, crossing the Atlantic, is full of
vapor, and sheds dew on all sides. These re-
marks, of course, apply chiefly to particular
localities, but the influence of west wind may
be seen in the Spring.
Dew is more cOpiously deposited in Spring and
Autumn than in Summer, there is usually q
greater difference in those seasons between the
temperature of day and night in Spring, how
ever there is a small deposite of dew when a
west wind prevails, but in Autumn, during the
soft influence of south and east wind, the earth
is covered with moisture. 1t has also been OBJ
served that there is a greater formation of dew
between midnight and sunrise than between
sunset and midnight.

New Plan of Drying Peaches Without
PeelinR

As the far-e which covers the peach is very
objectionable in drying them with it on, and as
peeling them for drying is a tedious process, and
causes the loss of much of the sweetest and best
part of the fruit. plan which will obviate both
of these objections and give us the dried fruit
rs good if peeled, and in fact, even better, is
a desidaratum, the supplying of which would be
very acceptable to all who are in the habit of
drying this most excellent and desirable fruit
for table use. A lady friend of the writer has
found it out and communicated it to him, and
he will here describe it. Make a tolerably
strong iye with wood ashes by boiling them in
water-letting it stand after being boiled suf-
ficiently until the ashes settle to the bottom,
when pour off the lye Then put the peaches to
be dried in tins, ,rdrin, but not hot enough to
cook them any, and rub them in it awhile.
Then take them out and wash them in clear,
cold water. This process will take the furze
entirely off, and leave them rs slick and smooth
as neefariues, with nothing but thin skin on
them. Then cut off and dry as usual. Peaches
dried in this way will be found to be very sweet,
and have all the advantages of not lOosing any
by the usual process eff peeling-as the sweetest
part of the fruit is generally that next the peel
ing. We have eaten pastry made with such
peaches, and can speak from experience.

The Star Capella.

The star Capella seems to be earning the title
of the Comet Pointer. Ii was used, few weeks
ago, to indicate where the comet that suddenly
blazed out in the northeast, was to be seen,
and now it serves again a sky mark, to show
the place of the new comet, that is just coming
into sight. Capella has been the usher for big
comets before. This star is very interesting on
other accounts. 1t is one of the suns that re-
semble our own sun in constitution, but Capella,
placed at the distance Of our sun from the earth,
would appear almost unendurably brilliant,
while the sun, with its fiery girth Of more than
two and half millions of miles, would look like
a pigmy in comparison. Capella seems to be
slowly growing brighter. II is generally ranked
rs the second star in the northern hemisphere,
Arcturus alone exceeding il in splendor. 1t
seems to have changed color, like Sirius. Some
of the ancient sky-gazers, and one as late as the
tenth century, describe it as red. Now its light
is brilliant, creamy white In mythology, Ca
pella represents the sacred goat of Jove.
