THE FARM.

TIi Sunflower. "VYe have latelj met with a paragraph In SiTeral of oar exchanges, recommending the planting of a sunflower seed in the mid JJe of ach hill of poe Deans, ao that the aulk of the sunflower, growing faster than the beans .and always keeping a little ahead, would serve instead of a pole, saving to the grower considerable labor and expense. How this Would work in practice we can cot aar, bat we do know that for many uies the sunflower is a valuable plant ta raise. It grows very rapidly and when planted around tick drains, priviei and other unsightly and of fensive placar, it not only serves as a screen, bat it also Is said to haye the property c! absorbing malarious exhalations and purifying the atmosphere. The seeds ar mach relished by poultry, and, if not fed to liberally, are very who'esome. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman recommends the seeds aa a core for the hearts in horses, and says: "A gentleman told me that tnere ia nothing equal to sunflower seeds for the purpose. Be had one bnshel of the seeds ground with two bushels of oats, and give a horse two quarts of the mixed meal, wet in water, three times a day. He lock the time when the horse was not used at hard work. In two weeks not a sign of the heaves could be observed, and the horse loosed as sleek and bright as if his hair had been oiled. He had cured two horses of his own of this distressing complaint, and recommended it to others, who had experienced a like result. In cases of horje distemper and coughs, it is an excellent remedy. Public Lands Remaining Unsold. New York Tlmes.l The annual report of the General Land office f urnishes an interesting exhibit of how large a part of our great belt across the continent is s;ill virtually unoccupied. The original thirteen States contain 313,752 equare miles, the twenty-five succeeding States 1,514 S63, the ten Territorien, (including the District of Columbia.) 1.746 627, making S.5S0 212 in all, or 2,201.355,403 acres. Of the States which became such before 1S50, Louisiana and Florida alone have area left unsarveyed, 4 6 per cent, of the whole In the former, and 20 6 per cant, in the latter. Of the seven States admitted in the present half century, beginning with California in 1S50, Kantas alone is entirely surveyed. The unsarveyed portions of the others are in ratio to their total area thus, naming them in order of admission: California, 41.4 per cent; Minnesota, 2G7; Oregon. Co 3; Nevada. 83 9; Nebraska, 17 9; Colorado, G0.S. Kentucky, Vermont, Tennessee, Maine, Texas, ana West Virginia are not included in this portion of the tables at ail, and are consequently not covered by the comparisons just made. Indian Territory has but 33 6 per cent, unurveyed; Wyoming, 87; New Mexico, 89 2; Utah, 83.4; Washington 6'J 3; Dakota, 7 79; Arizona. 92 7; Idaho, 87 5; Montana, 88 5. and Mr. Seward's frigid hunting-grouna, Alaska, has its 309 529 000 acres ail undisturbed. Indian Territory, well-known to be longingly desired by our migratory people, has 27,000,000 acres surveyed; Dakota has 21,000.000; Montana, 10.500,000; Washington, 13 820 000. Of the 599 9SG.000 acres in th Territories (Alaska excluded), 431)503,000. over 81 percent, were still unsarveyed at the end of tbe fiscal year 1877-8. Comparisons of these vast areaa with the Klr.f1 am of the Old World, in point of site, are superfluous, and a single statement of the kind will suffice. The surveyed portion of Dakota alone would almost tike in the entire United Kingdom, and that of Montana would do it, with a large section to spare. Here is a reservoir capacious enough to contain the overflow, not only of Western Europe, but of the Kassian possessions, and of China; and on the other side of the globe is Australia, about as larg-i aa tbe North American belt we inhabit, Alaska excladed. II a strip 250 miles wide along the coast of that island, omitnDg the northern and hottest side, is assumed as the habitable portion, it would almost equal in size oar twenty-six States east of tue Mississippi; if It could be laid with Its northern extremity touching this city. It would reach to the further extremity of Nova Scotia, to South America, and the farther edge of Nebraska. There is plenty of room yet In this little world, and tbe changes in geography which the next 100 years or even the next twenty-five will work can kardly be imagined without Incurring danger of a de lunatico inquirendo among one's friends. Keep the Barns Wei Painted. Correspondent New York Times J Hon. George GeddVs, not long ago, startled many of thosa who have great confidence in his opinions by declaring against painting barns and stables as a waste of money, the preservative effects of the paint not nearly returning its cost. It is not likely that Mr. Geddes "practices what he preaches" in this respect, or acts consistently in regard to it For If it is a waste of money to paint a barn, it la equally a waste to paint a house, and wo Id he have farmers to leave their wooden houses all unpamted and looking wretched ly, or are bis own barns bare and un painted? it is rot always that we should thus consider expenditures. If we are to measure the mere money value of a thing, we should come down to first principles, and do nothing at all unlets we could ste the money profit in it. We should, to act consistently, return to log Cabins and bark camping places, and eschew soap and good clothes, because they cost money, and filth is cheap. We can not carry an; such principle into execution. Tbe mere worry and loss of self respect to a man who has a rough, nnpalnted house and farm buildings, and the sense of shame and inferiority to the neighbors which his family must feel, would considerably outweigh the money cost of the painting. I woula have all buildings painted. My hay-barracks, even, are painted, post and roof-boards, and the paint pays for itself; for the roof boards have not curled up, do not warp or shrink and swell alternately, as if n painted, and the small coat is a trifle compared with the comfort and the profit. Kfd is too conspicuous a color, and although it is now extremely fashionable in country place for garden and piezz furniture and ornament, yet it la too prominent and glaring to suit a refined taste. Sj with the red barns; a much more agreeeble and appropriate color is the rich brown, ao nearly matched by the brown rocks, brown soil, and brown bark, which are natural and complimentary to the green verdare. Tbe color is cheap, durable and fire-proof. It is tbe brown oxide of lion, made from the earthly iron ore known as hematite, which is ground fine, and, wben mixed with linseed oil, oxidizes with it and forms a hard, durable coating. It spreads and covers well, and one coat wi.i last many years. Any fanner'a boy can learn to paint, and as the paint costs but 41 50 per 100 pounds, and oil is cheap, every farmer should paint his buildings, even to the pig pen and the hen roosts. . Increase of Agricultural Product. International Review. In fifteen yeara tbe production of wheat and barley in the United States has trebled; corn, cotton and tobacco more than doubl d, oats increased nearly 140.000.000 bushels, potatoes nearly doubled and hay increased more than one-third. He gives the figures for the chief crops in 1865 and 1S79. accjrding to which tbe production of wheat has increased from 143 553 000 bushels in the former year to 443.756 000 in the latter; corn lrom 794 427,000 to 1 644,889,000; oats from 225,252.000 to 364.253 000; rye from 19.544 000 to 22.646.000; barley from 11,391 000 to 40,184.000; potatoes from 101.632.000 to 1S1,39,000; hay from 23.538,000 tons to 25,643 000; tobacco from 183.317,000 pounds to 334,059,000, and cotton from 2.220.000 bales to 5,020,000. The remarkable Increase in the production of cereals has been largely owing to

tfce settlement and development of the Witeru and Northwestern States. Within the present generation the center of corn pro d action has shifted from the South to the West, and of wheat production from the Middle States to the far West. In 1819, 59 per cent , and in 1859, 52 per oent. of the oro crop of the oountrv was produced in Southern States. In 1877, 850,000,000 boshela were grown in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri. Kansas and Nebraska, while the prodoction of all tbe rest of the Union amounted to 494 553,000 bushels. The increase of the tobacco crop has been chiefly in the 8-uth, woeie the production increased 100 009 000 pounds from 1870 to 1873 Daring the same period the yield of cotton increased from 3 012.000 balea to 5,216,600. This increase was mainly in Arkansas and Texas, the crop of the former State swelling from 111,000,000 pounds in 1S70, to 31S 000,000 in 178, and that of the latter State from 157,000 OOO pounds in 1870, to nearly 500,000,000 in 1373. According to the writer already cited, about 9 per cent, of oar entire grain crop is exported. Including 24 76 per cent of the wheat crop and 6 19 per cent, of the corn produced. The exports have rapidly increased in the past few years, and are likely to increase in the future, especially if the cost of transportation shall be reduced. Thus, the total exports of all cereals increased from 39,000.000 bushels in 1S&J. to 189 000.000 in 1373. About 3 per cent, of the National product was exported in 163, and nearly 11 per cent. In 1378. In addition to this, the exportation of live stock, into which corn enters more or lets, has Increased tenfold during the past two years. Natural and Distorted Growth. Country Uentlenaan.J True taste cultivates an admiration of beautiful natural forms; false taste distorts those into artificial and grot?sque conceits. A tree possessing natural and graceful symmetry can not but be pleasing to a true and cultivated judgment; cut and sheared into the shape of a stiff cone, a hay cock, or a peacock or bear, it becomes at once an object of distorted unfitness. It is, however, quite common all through the country to see trees, and especially evergreens, tortured into unnatural forms. Most common of all is to trim the trunk up to a bare stem live or six feet or more high, giving the appearance of trees on suite, instead of allowiog the graceful sweep of the lower branches on the sarfacs of the lawn. Others, again, are sheared back into the ap paarance of a solid mass, and where a number of trees thus treated, the door yard apprars as if filled with a number of small haystacks. Such practices may be fitly compared to pinching the human body out of shape, as practiced by semi-barbarous people. If the trees threaten to grow too large and any cutting back is required, let it be done with a knife and not with shears, so as to preserve, in some degree at least, the natural free outline. In some works on landscape gardening arched gateways are represented and commended, where trees are bent oat of shape and sheared into unnatural forms. If an arch of verdure must be fcal let it be made of natural climbers and twiners, so as partly but not wholly to conceal a properly but simply formed etructure of iron or wood. In this way there would be lo incongruous distortion and obvious unfitness of material to intended purpose. We have teen at flower shows ill-directed attempts to build temples of roses, and some

times they have been made into the shapes of human beings, eagles, lligs, etc. The mind at once revolts at the sight of tolid and maesive structures attempted with so fragile and delicate materials as flowers. Nearly as unlit is the attempt to build solid gateway arches ot delicate foliage. There is aaotber practice, much less objectionable, but still carried too far 'he abundant planting of weeping trees. These are mostly unnatural to some extent, and, if employed at all, tbe most graceful should be selected, and sparingly introduced. They sometimes assist in the vaiiety of a sky outline. Many of them come in the first place from aa unnatural twist of a branch, propagated and continued by grafting. Ws are glad to witaess every attempt at improving ad ornamenting the grounds which surround a home, even if these attempts may devlite considerably from the rules of criticism, but most pleasing of all are neat, finished and tastfully planted grounds, with as much of natural and graceful beauty as can be brought together with so much simplicity that no display of oddity or twisted conceit can find a place. Purity and fitness should be obvious, and if much care and skill have been used in the management and keeping, they should not be seen by the eye of the spectator. Raise Celery. Lowell Courier. We want to make our annual appeal to our readers who have gardens, to provide themselves with a crop of celery. It is ao delicious, and, under proper condition?, is so easily raised, that nobody who has the proper piece of ground need be without it. We made the mistake last year of setting our plants rather too early, viz: on the 10th of July. It would have been better to leave them until about the 20th. The plants grew very rank, and rotted some. They were also caught in tbe early fret zs and snow storm, without protection. Still we had some as handsome celery as we ever saw, though, for the reasons named, there was considera ble waste to it. Celery grows best on a rich, dark soil, and is a rank feeder. There is no need to set the plants in trenches as some do. The rows should be five feet apart, and the plante about eight inches apart from each other, in the rows. The ground should be well stirred and in good condition, and the plants set in a shallow furrow, so that the crown ahall be slightly below tbe general surface of the ground. This is all tbe trench that is needed. The gi ound bete wen the rows should be kept clear of weeds, and the plants should be hoed once in a while, but not hilled up until about the 10th of September. After that the earth should be drawn around the plants, holding the stocks together with one hand so that the dirt can not get between them. This should be repeated as often as the top makes a growth of two or three inches above the hill or ridge. These directions we do not take from books, but from our own experience. Shrinkage In Corn. Iowa 8tate Reglster.l Professor Scovell, of the Illinois Industrial University, has been trying the comparative ehrinksge of various kinds of corn. But his trials were on too limited a scale to be reliable. He selected ten ears of each variety on the 6th of October, when they were fallvripe, on the university farm. From the 6th of October, 1879, to the 28th of February. 1SSO, the percentage of shrinkage was as follows: Thomas , Murdodk..... 18 Oenfwo Wright's Golden. Cameron ............ 17.4 16J This is an average of 13 9 per cent. To this should be added at least 10 per cent, from February 23 to Jone 1. This would make nearly 30 per cent, shrinkage. This is claimed by some, yet we think it an overestimate. There is without doubt several in the State who can give the exact shrinkage on five, ten of 100,000 bushels. Keeping Poultry in Orchards. Western Farm Journal. We believe that If farmers and fruit raisers knew the benefits arising from permitting fowls to range at freedom in orchards they would at once adopt it Last fall we via ted an orchard in which fowls were kept, the owner of which told us that before the fowls were confined in it, trees made little or no growth and only a corresponding amount of fruit was obtained. But what a change was evident now. The grass was kept down, the weeds were killed, and the trees presented and appearance of thrift which the most enthtuiiaitio horticulturist could not bat

admire and envy. The growth of the trees wa vigorous and the foliage remarkably abundant, The frnit was abundant, of large eise and free from worm or other imperfections. This excellence was accounted for by the proprietor, who remarked that the "hens at all the worms and coriculio in their reach, even the canker worm." He found less trouble with their roosiing in tbe treVs than he expected, and that a picket fence aix fret high kept them within bounds. His orchard was divided into three sections, and the fowls were changed from one to another as the condition of the fowls or the orchard section seemed to require. Farm Paragraphs. The dried fruit crop of North Carolina the past year is said to have brought 1400,000 into that State. The annual tribute paid as rent to the landed aristocracy of Ed gl and by tbe farmera is estimated at $500,000.000. Every dairyman should raise at least oneeighth of an acre of corn fodder for each cow, to help the pasture through the dry season. The number of cattle killed per year in tbe United States ia 11.825.000, the meats from which amount to 4,038,300,000 pounds, and their total value wben killed for food is $608 200,000. Farmers, perhaps your wood pile was all housed before the last rain storm. If not, remember that it will not only be poorer for laying till after haying, but the "women folks" will tell you about it and give you a late dinner beside! Stock should be able to eat their fill in the cool of tbe morning, and then lie In the shade during the heat of the day; feeding again in the evening. I)j not fall to provide plenty of shade, salt and pure water, as these are very essential to the w ill-being of stock. W. M. Wells, a large farmer of Washington County, Iowa, has a grade Short Horn cow that ia the dam of four healthy calves, all living, the oldest o the quartet being only eleven months old. Two pairs of twins within eleven months is multiplying pretty rapidly. A correspondent of Vick's Monthly says that one spoonful of coarse powdered saltpeter to a pail of water will destroy potato bugs, squash bags, and other insects. For roses it is unsurpassed. For maggots that work at the root of squash vines, pour about a pint of the liquid on the root of each vine as soon as the pests indicate themselves. Many farm eii, last season, mel Paris green so freely as to materially Injure the potato vines. They will not need advice, this year; but there may be those who have handpicked heretofore, but c&a not bring their minds to it th:s season; let such exerciee a little care in this regard. "A word to the wise is sufficient." Also if the green ia used in water, the ein should be thoroughly rinsed and dried, as it corrodes tin badly. The Chinese and Japanese excel all other nationalities in the culture o f early vegetables. This arises from tbe fact that they use only liquid manures, hence the growth of the plants is most rapid, and as a natural consequence the vegetables are very brittle and lender. Lettuce and radishes they force rapidly, giving the plants a sprinkling once a day. Tobacco and tea plants are also treated in like manner. An eminent authority upon the subject of sheep haa said that the Southdown can do as much for the sheep interest as the Short Horn haa done for the cattle husbandry. He claims the Southdown is destined to be the sheep of the Continent, for the following reasons: It has a long antiquity of pure blood; it is hardy; tbe wool is fine, warm and strong: it is prolific; a rood milker; it takes on fat well; the fat is mixed with lean, making the best of mutton. Hungarian grass is a valuable green crop, or lor hay. It for either, it should be cut before the seed ripens. It is valuable when ripe for wintering calves, but when the seed is perfected it is not fit for colts or horses. Prepare now for the purposes named. Do not suppose it is too late, even it other busi

ness should crowd the sowing of this green crop into the first weeks of July, but plow up the waste places the weedy corners the idle stock yards, and they will richly reward the labor. Oar growing exportations of beef and mutton to Eogland promise to be checked by the new competition from Australia. An official statement shows that tbe country can hip 2,000 tons of mea t weekly without it terfenng with the home consumption. Preparations are making to erect refrlgera tors and obtain the necessary vessels. Heretofore cattle have been almost unsaleable there, and thousands of sheep are annually boiled down for the tallow alone. Clover and timothy should be cut when in full blossom; if allowed to get ripe, the quality of the hay is not so good. By beginning early tbe work need not be hurried. Use the mower after the dew is ofi in the forenoon. Cut only as much as can be well cared for. It is often remarked that the average quality of hay is not so good as before the introduction of mowing machines, from the temptation to cut grass faster than it can be cured. The majority of flowers begin to wither after being kept in water for twenty-four hours. A few may be revived by giving them fsh water with a pinch of saltpetre in it; and even quite withered flowers can be restored by placing tbem in a cup of boiling water deep enough to cover at least onethird of the stems. When the water has cooled, the flowers should be bright and elect again. They may now be inserted in fresh cold water, after having shortened their stems by about an inch. Thin petaled, while and light hoed flowers, however, do not revive so completely under this treat ment aa deep hued, thick petaled blossoms. The value of the whole export of wheat from the United States for tbe ten months ending April 30 aggregates $157.332.000, against $103 913,000 for the same period of last year, showing an increase f $13,464.000. The average price of Western wheat at seaboard points has averaged $1.25 per bushel for the period, against $107 for the same time of 1S73-79 showing an increase in price of eighteen oents per bushel; while California wheat has averaged $1 15, against $1 03 the preceding year a rise of only twelve cents Der bushtl Western lour has averaged $5 91 per barrel, against $5 27 the preceding year an advance of sixty-seven cents while the rise on California has been only twenty-one cents. The rise in flour, it will be observed, has been in the same proportion as that of wheat. A BOAT-HAND'S ADVENTURES. Perils of Life on the Mississippi. " St. lxmls Republican.

That Man in the Gallery. Free Lance. It will be remembered that, in his speech nominating Sherman at the Convention, General Garfield, after delivering an appropriate eulogy upon that candidate, eaid, "Who do you want?" Wherui on a voice in tbe aller? ebouted "Garfield." That unknown man oiled upon the General on Tuesday afternoon, just as the future President was washing his hands to prepare for a general shake. He was a one-armed soldier, and rather seedy in his make-up. kiid he: ' General Garfield, I come to offer my congratulations." i "Thanks, thanks," said the General; "let roe see. weren't you in the Forty-second Ohio T' "No, General, that's not it. Didn't you hear that voice in the gallery when you eaid 'Who do you want?' I'm the fellow that said it. I was for you first, last and all the time." "You are a prophetic soul," said the General, "and if I come to the Whits House depend upon it I shan't forget you." And the one-armed roan left his name on a card and went away happy. In a few minutes Garfield was surrounded by his friends, and bis right hand was going like a pump handle, when a burly Teuton pressed forward and accosted him: "Guten abend, General; I dinks I have some glaimson you anyhow." "I am at your service, my good friend," said tbe General; "let me hear from yon." "Did vou hear dot min shoud oud in de gallery 'Garfield' when you say 'Was haben sie?" 'Ah! yes; I remember it well. Do you mean to tell me '' "Yah, General, I vas dot man, Indentical zame." "Mr friend, I shall never forget you as long as I live. Let me bear from you any time." And the man went away happy. Passing through the rotunda on his way to the carriage, the General felt a thundering slap on hia back, midway between hie shoulders and hips, accompanied with a familiar, Halloo, old Gar." Turning round he saw before him a very little man, with a very tall hat, and a very thick stick in his fist. "Don't remember me, eh? I'm called the boss interviewer of Chicago. I interviewed old Conk, and you, too, and " "Ah, yer. Well, good-day, good-day." "Hold on, old fellow," eaid tbe little chap; "I want to have just a word with you on my own hook. Didn't you hear that fellow np in tbe gallery wben you made your Sherman speech shout 'Garfield?' " "I did; I did. Do you mean to say' . "Guess I fixed you that time, old roan. I knew it was bound to go that way. Now, I consider I am tbe man who saved the Republican party." "My dear, good little fellow," said Garfield, "you deserve the thanks of the Nation. I shall give you a near club. Come down and see me in Ohio, and I'll tell you all about the next Cabinet. Perhaps you'll be in it." And the little man went away happy. Just n tbe General was boarding tbe train, a bottled-nosed politician from the Seventh Ward pluck'd him by the coat tail and shrieked. "General, General, one word only one word." "What is it, my man?' "Da you rembmber when you made your speech in the Convention nominating Sherman that a man up in the gallery shouted 'Gai field?' " Tbe General is not a profane man. He was once a minister of the Gospel, but he was also at one time of his life a ctnal-boatman. Early habits of thought and expression are never completely eradicated, and the future occupant of the White House startled some of his friends in tbe car as he threw himself into a seat and exclaimed: "D that man in tbe gallery."

A sure core for the Blind, Bleeding, Itching and Ulcerated Piles haa been discovered by Dr. Williams (an Indian remedy), called Dr. Williams' Indian Ointment. A single box has cured the worst chronic cases of twenty-five and thirty years' standing. No one need suffer five minutes after applying tbU wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions, Instrumenta and elect us rles do more harm than good. Wlil'am' Ointment absorbs the tumors, allays tbe Intense itching (particularly at nigbt after getting warm in bed), acta aa a poultice, gives Instant and painless relief, and isprepaied only for Piles, itching of the private parts and nothing else. Thousands of cured patlenta attest its virtue, and physicians of all schools pronounce it the greatest contribution to medicine of the age. It matters not how long or severely you havebeea suffering you can be cured. For sale by all druggists Brown tng A. Sloan, Agents. ibid v "" ' iwenV 1 IF'-I J lsthirw Dnua.
