XoT. 7, 1661.- nlS-6n Mr. Edistok : An important question to farmers is, what is the. best mode of preparing wheat for seed ? and, is there any sure preventive for smut in wheat ? inhere are many theories concerning smut, and some receipts given said to be in part, or entire preventives. Some recommend washing seed wheat in blue vitriol water aad we have reason to believe since the experiments with vit rial wash have resulted in a great meas ure in cleaning; the wheat of smut, that the vitriol must destroy the vitality of smut, for although the seed of smut will not germinate independent of the wheat, it will grow as a parasite. If so the mi nute seed must attach itself in some way to the growing wheat, and the only way is by the seed passing up in, or through the sap vessels of the growing wheat stalk, and as fungus, taking the place of and destroving the kernels of wheat. Hence we see the reason why a smut head so nearly resembles true wheat as toonly show its deformity at a little distance by its darker green color, until the wheat is ready to harvest. It seems that the soft er the variety of wheat, the more liable to smut. This being true, may we not reasonably concluded that the riper the seed wheat the less likely to smut ; and the .greener the wheat when cut, the more sap of course will be in thb stalk and the more likely to dissolve the smut into its fine particles during the sweating in the stack or mow, and make it difficult if not impossible to destroy the smut by any wash, without danger of destroys the germ of the wheat at the same time It seems to me tnat it tarmers desire to grow wheat cf soft instead of flinty surface, they may lessen the smut evil by allowing the wheat intended for seed to get fully ripe before harvesting; then 'i ?.fere. sowing wash in strong .brine so strong as to swim all the smut and other impurities. There will be no need of much stirring so as to break or disolve the smut kernels, the object being to com pel the smut to swim; skim off all, what ever rises to the top and swims, then dry sufficiently to sow, taking care to have clean sacks for the wheat after washing, amd the crop therefrom will be almost if not quite free from smut. I have tried the foregoing with good success both in Illinois and Nebraska. J. F. B. Cass Co., March '62. For the Nebraska Farmer. . Abont Osage Orange Fences. Mr.' Editor: It being an acknowledged fact that timber, especially for fencing purposes, is very scarce and not sufficient to fence our vast and beautiful' prairies The more thoughtful are turning their at' tention to this important subject by way of putting out groves of timber, and many are using their able pens to try to impress upon the minds of others the im portance of engaging, at an early day, in this, of all other enterprises, perhaps the most important to Nebraska farmers. Hence we see in almost every number of our valuable Farmer one or more arti cles written on this subject. This is as it should be, and I am greatly surprised that farmers generally take so little interest in a cause of so, great a magnitude to themselves. . - : n . There is another, enterprise of scarce ly less importance than that of raising timber, that 'appears 'to attract but little attention 'even from the most enterprise ing farmers. ; 1 mean live fencing. All agree that we must, sooner or later, re sort to some substitute for timbei for fencing material. Yet, very few are making any effort to even experiment with any of the numerous substitutes recommended by agriculturists. Every one appears to be waiting for his neigh bor to go to the trouble and expense of experimental knowledge, and after some one has spent years of toil and a large amount of means In experimenting, and some one thing has proved a success, they too will plant and at a comparatively trifling expense secure a good, substan tial and durable live fence. Now, Mr. Editor, this is not the way for Nebraska armers to realize the great advantage that would result from an immediate knowledge of some species of live fence that will endure successfully our winters ano other mishaps that the more tender plants fall an easy victim to. If farmers generally would spend a ttle of their leisure time in experiment ing with something that would probably make a fence, and communicate through the columns of the Farmer; we would thus very soon be in possession of the much desired information as to the best material for live fence. I Lavu been exp-;ria;er.tir. j wku Osage Orange for the past three yeats, and am :ully satisfied that with rrcpfr culture it will succeed well here and will make not only a good substantial fence but can be raised cheaper thin jcu can build a good plank fence. I do not propose in this article-to give in detail the proper method of germinat ing the teed, cultivating the plant, the hedge after setting, &,c.,but merely give the result cf ray experience. The former information will be given freely at some future time, if it is desired. I put out eighty reds cf the Osage three years ago this spring, in single rows, six inches apart ia the rows, and cultivated about as corn the first seascn. At one year old I cut it down within three inches of the ground, and cultivated the sarr.3 as the previous season. : Last spring I cut it down within ten .or twelve inches of the. ground, and done nothing more with it last season. Now it is of sufficient beighth, thickness and strength to turn any reasonable stock of any kind, except in a fevvgap3 destroyed the first season by gophers, which were afterwards reset, and will soon fill up as tb.3 others. There is but one -difficulty in growing a fence of the Maclura or Osage plant, and that is the gopher; but there i3 no more trouble to keep them out cf a hedge th?n out of an orchard, garden, or any other place he may attact. , I have never lest a plant of any age, from winter killing, dry season, cr any other cause, except the aforesaid gopher, and I find it but very little more labor to cultivate than a row of corn cf the same length. I have set out other pieces cf the same hedge since the firs', with similar results. - I am cf orjinioa:tV.at there are other v V shrubs, some of which, grew spont?n?cs in this country,' that i'li make a good" live fen: lhe : nJ !r- - plum, with proper care anc-wdiiurc, .vouia uedoutt edly make a fence as substantial and du rable as the Maclura, but perhaps not so beautiful. It appears to be exempt from the destructive ravages cf the gopher. 'V D. C. S. Nemaha Co. JV.

M. B. ' r - 1 T- 1 -r . t a cy x ri ::i For the Nebraska Farmer. Farming as a Vocation. A great deal has been said, especially during the last few years, in regard to the exalted and ennobling character of farming as a vocation. Out of all this talk a very pretty theory has grown, and gained much credence and popularity. It is often said, the owner and tiller of tue soil is the true aristocrat of the land He alone of all classes and professions, owes none of his success in life to the "tricks of trade," or the favor and pat ronage of his fellows. The compact is between him and the bounteous Giver of good, who promptly. recompenses faithful industry. - This, then, is the most inde pendent, the most dignified, as well as the purest and most natural vocation in which men may engage. . Such i3 the theory, and a very fine one it is; too fine, it should seem, for every-day use, as we are apt to set it aside from our common cal culations, and only give it an airing on state occasion, when we wish to show our superiority to mere vulgar prejudice. Ordinarily, when the merits of some particular-individual are under discussion, we hear the expression, "oh, he is a com mon son ot man ; only a farmer !" Now, as a farmer's daughter and a farmer's wife, we claim the privilege cf being as sensitive as we please on this subject, and of frowning severely upon any offender who shall drop this unlucky phrase in our presence. Many persons give utterance to this sentiment without in the least suspecting that they are perpetrating an excellent joke. Perhaps, after . all,, it is no joke! If so, the truth ought to be known and recognized at once. We ought to look the matter squarely in the ace, for there is enough moral courage in the world to accept almost any well demonstrated fact. If there be any known law, moral or physical, by which armer is incapatiated for enjoying the society of men of culture and refinement, or for being himself a man of culture and refinement, we have been in the dark too - ( Preserilng Frnlts. We copy the following from the Prai. rie Farmer: . "Editohs P. F. : I feel it rather a dcty which I owe to my Western fellow-citizens, now in time of war and the attend ant pecuniary embarrassment to more or less of every family in our much loved, and once boasted happy Republic, to in' form, thro' the medium of the Paai&iz Farmeb, of some of my experience cf. economy in the household." First, cf ths delicious pies and sauce we are enjoying " this winter, from, our wild plum3 put up last summer in pure spring water. They need no careful sealing, or anything bat a safe place from freezing during tho win ter, so as to have them ready for use. Gather when fully ripe, put in barrels, jars, tubs, or anything that will hold wa ter; cover them after filling up. There forms a scum on the top which keeps them from the air and all is right. When about to make pies, I mash and sweeten them, putting ia a little of the water ia which they are preserved, and we have a choice article. I am told that other fruit, such as cherries, grapes, Sec, will kee like manner. Wife or a Subschibe: Kaicsas." j This sounds very reasonable, ar should think tomatoes could be preser in that manner, if any fruit could. I some our lady readers will all try the t periment; but I would suggest lhat cover be lightly pressed down cn t fruit, and then not disturbed until a weather secures them for the rest of tl. wiater. Ed. long. But no such law exists! The highest ideal which has been cherished of the dignity of the husbandman's vocation, is the truest. The theory is right; it is only one practice that lags shamefully in the rear ! Some will say, "after all, this is a trivial subject with which to occupy the columns of a valuable journal, devo ted to objects of practical utility." But this is not a matter of little consequence. Through this very mistaken notion of How to Make a Set of Tery Trc; Collars and CuZs, Procure a piece of muslin,- cambric c fine, linen ; cut out your-collars and cuff., from any pattern you have by you. Hav ing done this, procure a piece of colored i jaconet or muslin. Choose one with some pretty small flower in peach, blue or rink. or even green. We have seen both prints and muslin' with flowers-sprinkled over 1 the 'pattern. Choose these, and cut put j the flowers and tack them in a row round' j your' collar and cuffs; get some white ; braid, and then stitch the braid.roand the flowers with ingrain cotton (of the color your flowers may chance to be.) The style is new, pretty and useful. Tha colored flowers can be introduced ia em broidery pitterns, and look well. Care should be taken that the flowers of print muslin will wear washing. Another way to put flowers cn the col lars and cuffs, is to tackoa your flower and button-hole, stitch it round with whito cr colored cotton, and then cut away tho muslin or linen from underneath the flowers. If ladies are not able to p recurs good ingrain cotton, they may use fir.o colored worsted.. Y.' Tinas.
