The annual value Of the grass crop of Wind

at not less than 81, 900, OOO-in some seasons
it may reach 81, 800, OOO-while the corn rails

may be estimated to be WORTH including the

With the ground so completely saturated
with water in the early part of June, we can
hardly fail of an abundant crop of hay. In
places on some lands, an excess of rain may
seem to have injured the grass, out with
such weather as usually follows in this
month the soil will be left in the most favora-
BILE condition for its growth. If we can have
the best conditions for growing grass we have
no reason to complain of the weather, for,

The roots of three distinct species of plants
known as hellebore are used in medicine.
They are sold whole, powdered, or as extracts
or tinctures. The black hellebore, HelIe6Orus
Niger belongs to the order of crowfoots aud
is native of Southern Europe. 1t is cult
waited in this country as an ornamental plant,
and is sometimes called the Christmas rose.
The root has an acrid and burning taste and
is very poisonous; we are not aware that it
has ever been used for killing worms or in
sects on plants, but, like almost every other
virulent poison that the world affords, it has
been fed TO the sick by grave NJ. DIS. There
are two species of white hellebore, both poi
sonous and, of course, both used by the doc
tors. They are now classod by botanists as
sub-order of the lily tribe. Verdtrum alba,
the European species, is the kind which has
been generally used for destroying insects
particularly the currant worm. These plants
have no resemblance to the black hellebore
except in poisonous qualities. The Ameri-
can species of white hellebore, Herdtrunl
0triete, is the common poke root plant found
by the borders of streams and in wet mead
| ows. The fluid extract of the root, admins
tered in doses of two or three drops, reduces
the pulse, and in large doses it would stop it
forever. The two species differ but little in
| poisonous properties, and the American white
hellebore, or poke root, will no doubt kill
currant worms or other insects on plants as
effectually as the other,
