Chicago, Sept. 17.-The Board of
Trade Clearing House will not be put
into actual operation until Thursday.
The rooms are open today for the recep-
tion of the members. Cards are to be
used in connection with getting out the
necessary blanks, opening the books etc, =,
This new departure in the settlement of
trades on the board will be run on the
same principle as Bank Clearing House,
Members of the Board will be required
to send to the Clearing House each day
IL o'clock the list of trades made during
the day accompanied by checks to the
order of those whom they owe margins.
These checks are to be distributed to the
proper parties at 1:30 p. m. Failure TO
deposite checks for margins will subject
the delinquent to posting on Change
next day The fact is not generally known
that clearing house in small way has
been in operation for some time among
few heavy dealers on the Beard and
found to work well. Under the new sys-
tenn the method known as "ringingttrades"
will be impossible. Under the old system
fifty to one hundred settling clerks would
meet in the Board of the Trade alley, and
the settlement margins would be checked
and passed around from firm to firm till
it got back to the place of beginning
and margins on many thousands of bush,
els would be settled without any one
having drawn check. Substantial houses
generally support the new arrangement,
while the weaker ones oppose it. The
effect of it will be to compel persons of
small capital to trade less recklessly
as they viii be compelled 10 pay all mar
gins In their favor, which will require
larger cash capital in proportion to the
amounts and quantities dealt in, than
under the old regime and any financial
weaknesses will be readily discovered.

THE DREADED SCOlRGE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September, 18-
Surgeon General Hammond, of the Ma
rine Hospital Service, has received a
letter from the Deputy Collector of
Customs at Yuma, dated September the
8, transmitted by J. s. Clark, special
Deputy Collector at Ell Paso, Tex, to
whom it was addressed, in which the
former says there are conflicting accounts
of the presence of yellow fever and
black vomit at Mazatlan and Guaymas
Mex, but (the Deputy Collector) has
direct information of the death from
black vomit at Guaymas of a gentleman
who had just arrived there by steamer
from Mazatlan, and that he intercepted
letter from a railroad man who runs
to and from Guaymus, stating that people
were dying at this place at the rate of
from two to six daily, of what some call
yellow fever and others tTouts Fever =
in the letter transmitting this communi-
cation, Special Collector Clalk urges
the taking of steps to prevent the
spread of the fever into the United States
He says the railroad from Guaymas en-
ters Arizona Territory to Nogales.
Upon the receipt of these letters Dr.
Hamilton telegraphed Deputy Collector
BunncIly. at Yuma. for further infor-
nation. To-day he received the following
dispatch: The accounts are conflicting
concerning the true character of the di
sease, but it is attended with fatal condi
tions. The latest news indicates an
increasing morality"

A considerable proportion of the grain in

wheat offstands is extremely prostrated,

With only tour varieties to pick from, our

very small area. Fo: family use alone, it
the plants are we'll taken care OF in summer
and sufficiently protected in winter. it will
require but a very few square yards of
ground to give each member OF the family
all the fruit that can be consumed.
Mr.. Olcott, grower OF the choicest fruit
that reaches Hartford market, says: The
best strawberry is the one we can grow the
most of. and eat the most of without killing
u.s." On his soil. and with his management.
the Crescent Seeding and Champion take
the lead, the Charles Downing being set to
furnish pollen tothe pistilate Crescent The
Dewning has rusted so badly tor few years
past, as to nearly discourage it's use, even to
fertliZe other varieties, but we have found
it doing better this season, and hope it may
yet regain it's old place in the estimation of
cult,vators. The Sharpless, with us. bears
a few very large and very handsome berries
but the whole crop. compared to the Cres-
cent, is small. The Manchester is fine
berry when grown in perfection, but being
purely pistilate and early TO bloom, it is
likely to mis-fertilize and grow very imper-
fectly shaped and under sized fruit. The
Champion is a most beautiful berry, and an
excellent bearer. though rather acid for some
palates. No variety has done as well for US
as the Crescent, taking everything into ac-
count. Now is the time to renovate old beds
by plowing or spading in portion of the
vines, and working in manure or fertilizer
tor aiding the next years crop. New beds
set last spring must be kept well worked
and tree from weeds through the season.

THE TALLEsT TREE IN THE WORLD.

1t seems that America, after all. is unable
to make good her claim to the possession OF
the tallest and largest trees in the world.
Every one has read of the nlarvels of the
Yosemite Valley and OF Yellowstone Park,
the huge national sporting ground OF the
United States. But what are the giants OF
California In comparison with tree which
has lately been discovered in Aust, ALASKA :
1t has long been known that in Tasmania
there are eucalypti measuring 200 feet from
the ground to the first branch, and more
than $50 feet in total height; and there is,
or lately was. on Mount Wellington, near
Hobart Town. a tree of this species, the
trunk OF which was eighty-slx feet In cir
cumference. But still more gigantic mon
arch OF the woods has been recently discov-
cred in Victoria. 1t is well-proportioned
specimen of the Eucalyptus ansygdalina, and
its top is nearer to the sky than the cross OF
St Paul's Cathedral, for it is no less than
43O feet above the ground.-St. James Co.

WILLOWS AND sHELTER BELTS.

The white willow becomes large timber
ee, attaining eighty feet, and 10 of rapid
growth, even on high. dry land. The leaves
have white silky pubescence on both sides.
A variety called the Victoria willow, of
which cuttings received from England were
sci fifteen years ago, has in that time made
growth thirty feet high and twenty feet
wide, and a tree of it in lawn fronting the
window where this is written is now strik-
ing and handsome object. Its broad, DOME
like top rises among the other foliage, like
a handsome gray head carried high in an
assembly. Some larches growing near form
a handsome contrast, and so do scotch pines
and Norway spruces fronting the whole.
Such collection would no doubt serve well
as wind break in Kansas-about which in
quiry is made-and would soon attain great
beauty as well as usefulness. Some of the

BLUE JOINT GRASS.

Almost every summer specimens OF Blue
Joint grass, Calamagrotis Canadents. are re-
ceived from readers OF the Farmer tor iden-
tlncatlon. The name, we presume, is given
on account Of the purpleish color of the
panicle or head when in bloom. and not to
any popularity in the color of the Joints or
hsaes. Students OF grasses Should bear in
mind that the name is Blue Joint, and not
blue-Joint. This is one of the comparative
ly few valuable wet meadow grasses, having
joints and blossoms closely resembling those
OF the upland grasses. Many OF our swamp
grasses, SO called are not grasses, strictly
speaking, but sedges or rushes. Blue Joint
grass flowers from late in June to early in
July, according TO latitude, aud has range
from Canada to Virginia, though not in as
great abundance along the coast AS farther
back in the interior.
Mr.. Gould, in his paper on grasses, pub
lished in the New York Agricultural report
tor 1869, says: ''This grass constitutes about
one-third of the natural grasses on the Bea-
yer dam meadows of the Adirundacks. and
that "iarmers who have it on their farms
believe it to be one of the best grasses in
their meadows" Farmers in New.England
who have 1t growing naturally in their wet
lands would do well to occasionally let it
stand antil the seed ripens, and when ready
to cut it for hay. clip off the heads and dry
them separately, upon sheets, in dry airy
room. few pounds of seeds, which are
extremely minute, would seed large area

IS used for tanning and it also yields a fine
red color. The ashes are rich in alkali. An
other tree of still more rapid but more open
growth, and also easily raised from cuttings,
is the black Italian or Carolina poplar. It's
wood is valued for inside work, and the tree
is largely planted along road sides and in
belts through the untenced lands OF many
parts of Europe. A privet or barberry

SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE,

Is there any such thing as scientific ag-
riculture? II there is we have failed to dis
cover it. We have known scientific men to
leave their regular calling, and taking up
that of farming, have undertaken to teach
the lifelong, practical workers upon the
land how to produce more abundant crops
at a less cost, if they would adopt his pecul-
lar system, dubbed scientific. Failing in
influencing others, he would become dis
gusted with the arbitrary ignorance of those

which they not only earned living, but

city and his labratory, just in time to avoid
visit from the sheriff to close up steadily
approaching bankruptcy.
We have never yet known one person
who ventared upon living on the proceeds
of his lahors, by rushing into farming in
middle lite from other occupations, and set
out on new system and assumed to be
general adviser in his Heighborhood, who
succeeded in making both ends meet. Five
years are usually the limit of his expert

something like figs: Take six pounds of
sugar to one peck Tor sixteen pounds) of the
fruit, scald and remove the skin in the usual
way; cook them over a fire, their own Juice
being sufficient without the addition of wa
ter, until the sugar penetrates and they are
clarified; they are then taken out, spread on
dishes, tlattened and drietl In the sun. A
small quantity of the syrup should be occa-
sionally sprinkled over them while driving.
after which pack them down in boxes. treat
ing each layer with powdered sugar. The
syrup is afterward concentrated and bottled
for use. They keep from year to year, and
retain their flavor surprisingly, which is
nearly that of the best quality OF fresh figs.
The pear-shaped or single tomatoes answer
the purpose best. Ordinary brown sugar
may be used, large portion of which is re-
tanned in the syrup
