THE ROLLER FOR WHEAT.
HON. E. L. GARDENHIRE.

The use of the roller, by our farm,
ers is too much neglected. Numerous
experiments in England, as we'll as
some in this country, have proved that
crops, and particularly wheat, are in>
creased in proportion to the degree of
subdivision and fineness, to which the
soil is reduced in the process of prepa>
ration. With proper implements, a
much better preparation may be given
with little increase of labor. In land
the least cloddy, the roller should
never be dispensed with. 1t often oc.
ours that at the time for preparing for
wheat, that the weather is dry and the
earth breaks up cloddy, and these
clOds can only be thoroughly reduced
and broken down by a clod crusher or
roller, and when small grain is to be
sown, it is not only very important
that this should be done, but more es-
peclally SO, when clover or grass seed
are sown with the crop for the purpose
OF moving. The crop will not only
grow better, but the mowers and rakes
will then meet with no injurious OBJ
structions.
"The increase of the crops in the
United States within the last 20 years
in consequence of the improvements in
the implements used in preparing the
soil, can hardly fall short of % per
cent. and yet there are many farmers
among us, who are not willing to incur
the expense of many of these lmprov-
ed implements, and among them none
are more important than the roller.
Not only iSthe use of this implement
important for the preparation of land
for small grain, but equally so fol
corn and other hoed crops. Rollers
are made in various ways. The cheap
est and most simple, is by using large
log of some light timber, which can b.
put in shape and hung by almost any
farmer. When he gets the log round
he can put an iron spindle in it, and i
will answer an excellent purpose, an(
will last for many years if kept shell
tered, as all tools ought to be-"
The foregoing is principly extracted
from an article in the Valley Farmer
of Sept. 1860. l have thought i

rem county would act on the sugges

work. The harrow leaves the groun

the result will surprise any one VIII

household use at this changeable season.
Are colds durable? Strictly speaking,
no. After it is fully developed, / have
never knowna cold to be cured by medical
treatment; the disease runs through GER
tain course, and in the popular phrase
"cures ITSELF" after a greater or less
degree of suffering on the part of the
patient. 1t is, in the scientific phrase,
one of the "self-limited" diseases. But
sometimes, when damaged organ is
attacked, cold may terminate less favor
ably; sometimes in pneumonia or pleurisy,
or even in consumption. More frequently
succession of neglected colds brings on
chronic catarrh, a complaint that is par
tlcularly frequent in our trying climate.
But if we can not actually cure cold
after it is fully developed, it is all the more
important that we should be able to do
one OF two things with it-frst, to cut it
short at the ontset, before the disease has
time to develop itself; or second, to pre-
vent its running on into any Of the bad.
consequences that I have named.
We will look at these cases separately.
And first, what is the nature of this
disease which have called incurable, but
which can still be checked in many cases
at the outset, or even, if it should run its
usual course, may be controlled as to its
consequences?
A cold is an inflammation, attended by
more or less fever; its usual course is ex-
posure to draught, and especially
exposure of the feet or of the throat. 1t
attacks the lining membrane of the nos
trils, the fauces and pharynx, or the trachea
and bronchi, or more than one of these
regions; and we ordinarily speak of these
three forms as cold in the head, sore
throat, and cold in the chest. "A cold in
the head begins with sneezing and "defux-
ion," or a discharge from the nostrils;
cold in the throat, with hoarseness and
sore glands; cold in the chest, with
cough. Either form often runs into one OF
both of the other forms; but it is important
to distinguish them at the outset, as shall
point out in speaking Oft the treatment.
l. To cut short cold at the outSet-
When the cold begins ''in the head" with
sneezing, watery eyes, and defuxion, the
following treatment will cut it short four
times out of FIVE; but it must be taken at
once, or at the latest within six hours after

Immediate relief is generally given by this
simple treatment. 1t must be done DELHI

are not checked by the first trial, repeat it

and keep within doors if possible for day.
have often noticed this operation on N.Y.
self and on patients; if carefully done, and
promptly, it will break up cold in the
head before it has chance to get a fair
start. A sniff in time saves nine. But if
this treatment is put off later, it is of no
use, for the inflammation of the nasal pas
sages soon takes firm hold, and the cold
passes on into what I have called the
Snc~able stage, in which there is little to
be done exceptto palliate the sufferers dis
comforts.
When the cold commences in the throat,
what shall we do? Tie up the throat
in piece of flannel (red or any other color
the color makes not the least diference)
and by all means stay at home if possible.
If you know by experience that the cold
threatens to bea severe one, take ten grains
of Dovers powder, and some warm drink
the better It gently stimulating, though I
do not urge this upon total abstainers), and
60 to bed as early as may be. You have
an even chance of being we'll or much bet
ter at least, in the morning. A good per-
spiration always helps Che cure.
If the cold begins in the bronchial tubes
the above measures should be taken with
out delay, and in addition, mustard poul-
tice should be applied to the upper part of
the chest, and kept ON until the skin is
red, but not long enough to blister A
