the CARE OF HARNESS.

A harness that has been on horses
back several hours in hot or rainy
weather becomes wet; if not properly
cleaned, the damage to the leather is
irreparable. If, after being taken
from the horse in this condition, it is
hung up in careless manner, traces
and reins twisted into knots, and the
saddle and bride hung askew, the
leather when dried retains the same
shape given it when wet, and when
forced into its original form damage
is done the stitching and leather. The
first point to be observed is to keep
the leather soft and pliable. This can
be done by keeping it well charged
with oil and grease; water is a de-
stroyer, but mud and the saline moist
ure from the animal are even more
destructive. Mud in drying absorbs
the grease and opens the pores of the
leather, making it prey to water,
while the salty character of the per-
spiration from the animal Injuries the
leather, stitchings, and mountings. 1t
therefore follows that to preserve the
harness, the straps should be washed
and oiled whenever they have been
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud.
If the harness is thoroughly cleaned
twice a year, and, when unduly ex-
posed, treated as we have recommend
ed, the leather will retain its softness
and strength for many years.-Chi-

WHEN TO PLANT sRApe.vIres.

DIR. s. d. Philbrick, of Des Moines,
Iowa, writes to the HoDaestedd -
follows: e
at is customary to plant the grape
quite early in the spring, but have
recently made new departure from
the old practice, and now plant the
vine about the first of June. By this
time the vine has made q growth of
five or six inches, and new rootlets
have been thrown out from the old
roots. These new roots furnish con-
slant feeder for the vine. Improperly
set, the vine can be planted any time
in the day without whiting, IL the fol-
lowing directions are carefully adhered
to: Take your vines up from the nur-
sery and place them in a bucket of
thin mud be careful and not break
the vine; have your ground well pre-
pared; in planting be sure and have
the roots evenly distributed; fill the
pit one-third full, pour in sufficient
quantity of water to wet the earth
well, and then fill the pit and press the
earth firmly. If these directions are
strictly adhered to 80 per cent. of the
vines viii grow and in one weeks
time they will look vigorous and
healthy and will not be retarded in
their growth. Having become SO
thoroughly convinced that this is the
best method of planting the vine,
shall still continue to plant as set forth
in this article. In conclusion would
say be careful and plant no vines save
strong and vigorous plants"

SOMETHING ABOUT KANSAS.

The immigration pamphlet of sixty
pages, with State map, just issued by
the State Board of Agriculture, seems
10 us the most comprehensive, most
complete in detail, and the most inter-
esting and useful compendium of Kan
sas resources which has been printed.
IL has been issued for general and
gratuitous circulation, in pursuance OF
an appropriation wisely made by the
legislature authorizing the board 10
prepare and print 81, 900 copies of such
document in various languages.
10000 are in English, 10000 in Ger
man, 1900 in Swedish and 10000 in
Danish. Copies viii be sent postpaid
to any address, at home or abroad, by
VIM. Sims, secretary of the board.
Requests 10 have copies mailed should
state the language preferred. The
work is Illustrated with number of
Kansas views.
The contents of this immigration
pamphlet are so voluminous that a
newspaper column is severely taxed
TO convey general idea of the infor-
nation thus handsomely collected and
condensed into print. The State GEN.
sus of 1882 is, of course, relied upon
to furnish most of the statistics given.
Geographical location, area, popula-
lion by counties, surface features and
drainage, improved acreage by coun-
ties, directions how to obtain govern
ment lands, school, railroad and other
lands.
The products of the State in every
leading field-live stock, fruit, dairy,
and other agricultural products are
fully given, as are also IFS products in
the way of manufactures and mining,
and its business statistics generally.
The public school and collegiate sys-
TENS are fully exemplified. An exhib-
ii of the financial condition of the
State and the meteorological report
for 1882 are added.
The compilers have done their work
with good judgment, and the PAM
phlct should be obtained by every
reader DESTROYS of seeing what Kan
sas is and does. The issue will doubt
less soon be exhausted.

A. w. Pierson, of Vineland, gave
the following account of successful
experiment in preventing mildew on
gooseberries. The variety planted
was the English Crown Bob, which
had been long growing in border
until thoroughly infested with mildew
and nearly stationary in growth. The
bushes were then dug up and divided
into four quarters with a sharp hatch
ct. The border was covered four
inches deep with rich stable manure
and a portion of lime and ashes, and
the whole deeply spaded and mixed
with the soil. In this enriched ground
the divided gooseberry bushes were
set. A total change took place the
next season; the bushes started into
luxuriant growth. The mildew peeled
of and vanished. The foliage assumed
the rich, dark hue of health, and the
fruit was without any mildew. The
same success lasted through several
wears.

Many of our readers have doubtless
observed the deleterious effects of the
roots of the black walnut on some
kinds of vegetation and farm crops.
A correspondent furnishes the Rural
NeD Yorker a statement of an expert
ment. He planted an orchard of 200
apple trees on an open prairie, with q
few rows of young black walnuts set
out at the same time on one side of
the orchard. These have grown thirty
feet high, and the nearest row of apple
trees TO them is now killed out and
the second row nearly destroyed; the
rest of the apple trees are doing well.
1t appears that the black-walnut roots
extended to the second apple row, but
no further.

NOW TO KILL CABBAGE WORMS.

The ravages of the caterpillars of
the cabbage butterfly caused a good
deal of trouble last summer at the
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Geneva, N. Y, particularly those
of the second or August brood. In
order TO test the efficacy of various
reported remedies for the cabbage
worm, the directors applied them to
special collections Of worms, and noted
the effects. One specimen confined
for three hours in bottle partly filed
with black pepper crawled away col
ored by the powder, but apparently
unframed. The second, repeatedly
immersed in solution of saltpetre,
and third in one of boracic acid, ex-
hibited very little indication of incon-
veniencc. Bisulphide of carbon pro-
duced instant death when applied to
the worm, though its fumes were not
cffectual. The fumes of benzine as
well as the liquid caused almost in
slant death, but when applied TO the
cabbage small whitish excrescences
appear on the leaves. Hot water ap-
piled TO the cabbage destroyed por-
ton of the worms, causing also the
leaves TO turn yellow. One ounce Of
saltpetrc and two pounds of common
salt dissolved in three gallons of water
formed an application that was per-
fectly efficient. The most satisfactory
remedy tested, however, consisted of
n mixture Of one-half pound each of
hard soap and kerosine in three gal
Ions of water. This was applied and
an examination the following day
showed many, if not all, of the worms
destroyed. The growing cabbage pre-
scnts such mass of leaves i'm which
the caterpillars may be concealed that
il is hardly possible TO reach all the
worms at one application. 1t is of inn
portance, therefore, to repeat the use
of any remedy at frequent intervals

ATTITUDES FOR TREES AND VINES.

In letter from correspondent in
reference TO sites for fruit trees, etc.,
the following sentence occurs:
Noticing what you have said about
high lands for fruit trees and grape
vines. we are some three hundred feet
above tidc-water, which l presume Is
sufficiently elevated 10 insure success"
Ii is altogether unnecessary, and, in
truth, il is useless, to pay any atten-
ton To sea-level in choosing an ORCH
ard or vineyard site. The elevation
needed lie local one, and high enough
above the valley TO admit of the colder
air finding its way down the hillside
and taking the place of warmer air
which is raised up in consequence /;
and wherever this warm air impinges
there will be no dew, and colds always
less severe than in the lower grounds.
Under some CONGREGATIONS of hill and
valley the ihermometrical difference
between them is astonishing-we have
seen where the thermometer showed
a difference OF one degree for every
four feet Of elevation-so that plants
may be destroyed in the low grounds,
while others Of the same kind not
more than fifty or sixty feet higher
may escape uninjured. These differ
