Wheat Growing in Nebraska.
This State is now attracting considerable
attention as one of the best fields for settle
ment in the Uoion. In climate and soil it
meets the conditions required for the suc
cessful cultivation of all the productions of
the temperate zone, and also some of the
sub-tropical.
It is not often that corn and wheat thrive
equally well in any country; but as it is in
Nebraska, corn is the first staple crop, of
course; but so soon as the farmer is well
settled upon the land, he puts in wheat.—
The wheat of Nebraska is in good favor ;
and in St. Louis and Chicago makes its
price average several cents per bushel
more than the wheat of the neighboring
States can command.. In bread making
qualities the wheat of Nebraska only ranks
second to that of California, with which it
does not come into competition.
The agricultural triumphs which have
been achieved in Nebraska arc the work of
little more than ten years, and, as the
country is settled, and the position of the
farmer becomes easier, wheat ranks higher
among the crops of the country. In 1860,
when the 'population was 28,000, the
wheat crop amounted to 147,867 bushels,
or about 51 bushels per head ; and in 1870,
when the population was 222,000, the
the wheat crop was 1,125,086 bushels, or
a little under 171 bushels per head.
The population of 1873 can only be es
timated, and therefore it is best not given ;
bnt the wheat crop of thot year, (which
wits an unfavorable agricultural year,)
amounted to 3,000,000 bushels. The rec
ord is therefore still one of advancement
for the young State; and it is to be re
membered that stock raising, fruit culture,
corn growing, and all other agricultural
work advances equally with wheat raising.
Nebraska is therefore a promising State
for the settler; and the more especially
since it has good markets ' both cast and
west and south.
When to Cut Clover.
Some experiments upon the nutritive
value of clover bay, are keported by Wag
oner, a German. In a field of red clover
three contiguous parcels of equal size were
measured off. From one the clover was
cut, May 22, just before the beginning of
the blossom ; from the second, June 13, in
the full blossom; and from the third,
July 1, toward the end of the blossom.
The amounts of hay obtained were 85,114
and 128 pounds respectively. The hay
was analyzed, and its nutritive value thus
estimated. It appeared that the amounts
of nitrogenous substances were about the
same in all, and that the older hay con
tained also much larger percentage of crude
fibre, and that its ingredients were so
much less digestible, that its nutritive val
ue was less than that of the smaller but
younger crop. The author recommends,
therefore, that clover be cut either when
in full blossom, or even before the the be
ginning of the blossom.
About To o I s .
I wish to give a few hints to my broth
er farmers about tools. Many a one when
taking up a hatchet or axe that he is not
used to, and after striking the first blow,
fails to hit within three or four inches of
where he aims, says, well that ax is worth
less, and when examined it is found that
the edge and handle are a long way out of
line. The trouble is , the eye is not parallel
with the edge, which, of course, is the
fault of the maker. Such should not be
purchased. A good plan when buying is
to take a piece of wood that will go through
the eye, then it is easy to see when the eye
and edge are on a line, and those not
straight should be rejected. A few articles
sent back to the manufacturer, and the
fault would soon be corrected. The same
may be said of many other tools which
farmers have to use. A word to the wise.
—Cor. Farm, Journal.
Kalsomining.
Eight pounds of whiting and one quar
ter of a pound of white glue make the
right proportions. Soak the glue one night
in cold water, and in the morning heat it
till perfectly dissolved. Mix the whiting
with hot water, stir the two thoroughly to
gether, and have the wash of the consis
tence of thick cream. Apply warm with
a kalsomine brush, brushing it well in and
finishing as you go on. If warm skim milk
is used instead of whiting, the glue may
be omitted. Before the wash is applied
all crevices and holes should be stopped
with plaster of paris mixed with water. If
it is desirable to tint the walls, colors may
be procured at any paint store and stirred
into the kalsomine wash.
MILK FOR CHILDREN.—Dr. Gardener
suggests that young children should be
fed on the milk of a farrow cow, since it
has not been deprived of its essential in
gredients to nourish the year's calf. If
any one questions the effect of double at
tempt at nutrition, let him compare the
milk in ordinary use with that of a farrow
cow. The latter is small in quantity,
thick, redundant in cream of a very high
flavor. This is the milk destined to
strengthen the bones and invigorate the
body.
CLEANING STovxs.—Stove lustre when
mixed with turpentine and applied in the
usual manner, is blacker, more glossy, and
more durable than when mixed with any
other liquid. The turpentine prevents
rust, and when put on an old rusty stove
will make it look as good as new.
FURNITURE PoLtsm—Make a mixture
of three parts linseed oil and one part spir
its of turpentine. It not only covers the
disfigured surface, but restores wood in its
original color, and leave 3 a lustre upon its
surface. Put on with a woolen cloth and
when dry rub with woolen.
DIM FOIL THE SICK.—To one teacup of
cream take four rolled or grated crackers,
one teaspoonful of white, sugar, the white
of one egg beaten to a froth, with a tea
spoonful of jelly of any kind.

ARION PIANO
IS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS
The ARION PIANO-FORTE bas greater power
than any other Piano-Porte manufactured.
It will Stand in Tune Longer,
and in its mechanical construction it is more per
fect, and, tberefore,more durable, than any instru
ment constructed in the usual modern style.
The arrangement of the Agmffe, the manner of
stringing, the peculiar form and arrangement of
the Iron Frame
SUPERCEDES ALL' OTHERS
The use of a bar (wbhlh is s part of the Iron
Frame on a line with the heavy steel stringing,)
GREAT STRENGTH
where most needed, and in this respect all other
pianoes fail.
The construction of the WREST PLANK, into
which the tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it
is impossible for the pins to come loosened, or the
Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case
in other Piano-Fortes.
The Extraordinary Evenness

ity, the
LENOTII AND PURITY OF VIBRATION,
all go to prove what we Maim, that the
ARION PIANO-FORTE
Is the Best Instrument Manufactured,

APPLETONS'
AMERICAN CYCLOPLEDIA.
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated
with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
TOE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOI,EDIA was completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation
which it has attained in all parts of the United
StatCs, and the signal developments which have
taken place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and publishers
to submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
and to issue a new edition entitled Tun AMERICAN
CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of discov
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of reference an imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country, which
was at its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new
course of commercial and industrial activity has
been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The great politicalrevolutions of the last decade,
with the natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in every one's mouth, and of
whose lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. Great battles have been fought and im
portant sieges maintained, of which the details are
as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the
transient publications of the day, but which ought
now to take their place in permanent and authen
tic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring dawn the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the
most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts, as well as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress of po
litical and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and with the moat ample re
sources for carrying it on to a successful termina
tion.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on now
type, forming in fact a new Cyclopedia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowledge.
. . . .
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
lucidity and force to the explanations in the text.
They embrace all branches of science and of natu
ral history, and depict the most famous and re
markable features of scenery, architecture and art,
as well as the various processes of mechanics and
manufacturers. Although intended for instruction
rather than embellishment, no pains have been
spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost
of their execution is enormous, and it is believed
they will find a welcome reception as an admira
blefeature of the Cyelepedia, and worthy of its
high character.
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousnad Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic 3faps.

WISTAR'S BALSAM
WILD CHERRY!
THE GREAT RE3[EDY FOR
CONSMMPTION!
and acknowledged by many prominent physicians
to be the moat Reliable Preparation ever introduc
ed for the RELIEF and CURE of all
LUNG COMPLAINTS,
This well known remedy is offered to the pu lie,
sanctioned by the experience of over forty yeare,
and when resorted to in season seldom fails to effect
a speedy cure of _ _ _
CoUghs, Colds, Croup, Bronchitis, Influenza,
Whooping Cough, Hoarseness, Pains or Sore
ness in the Chest or Side, Bleeding at
the Lungs, Liver Complaint, &o.
CONSUMPTION
CAN B
CURED
by a timely resort to this Standard Remedy, as is
proved by hundreds of testimonials received by
the proprietors.
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry
does not dry up a Cough and leave the cause be
hind, as is the case with most preparations, but it
loosens and cleanses the lunge and allays irrita
tion, tGus removing the cause of the complaint.
THIS HOUSEHOLD REMEDY
Should be in the hands of every Family and indi
vidual. as its prompt use for a slight cough or
cold will cause immediate relief, while eases of
long standing and apparently incurable character
often yield to its wonderful curative powers, and
its great adaptt'ion to the wants of man when
aftl.cted.
CLERGYMEN, LAWYERS, SINGERS,
and all those whose occupation requires an unusu
al exercise of the vocal organs, will find this the
only preparation which will effectually and in
stantaneously relieve their difficulties.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS
Remember that the genuine Wistar's Balsam has
on the outside wrapper the signature of "I.
BUTTS," and the printed name of the proprietors,
"SETE W. FOWLE dt SONS, BOSTON." All
others are base imitations. Examine the wrapper
carefully before purchasing.

VINEGAR BITTERS
PURELY VEGETABE
FREE FROM ALCOHOL.
Dr. J. Walker's California Vinegar Bit
ters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made
chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, the medicinal properties of which are extrac
ted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The
question is almost daily asked, "What is the
cause of the unparalleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters?" Our answer is, that they remove the cause
of disease, and the patient recovers his health.
They are the great blood purifier and a lice-giving
principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of
the system. Bever before in the history of the
world has a medicine been compounded possessing
the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in
healing the sick of every disease man is heir to.
They are a gentle Purgative as well as Tonic, re
lieving Congestion or Intlamation of the Liver
and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases.
Dr. Walker's California Vinegar Bit
ters act on all these cases in a similar manner.
By purifying the Blood they remove the cause,
and by resolving away the effects of the inflamma
tion (the tubercular deposits) the affected parts
receive health, and a permanent cure is affected.
If men will enjoy good health, let them u. Vin
egar Bitters as a medicine, and avoid the use of
alcoholic stimulants in every form.
