| Show A a how preserving FLOWERS IN SAND the chicago prairie farmer thus speaks of a beautiful art ark 0 of preserving flowers those olour ol our readers who attended the late horticultural fair in thia this city did not tail fall to notice those two framed wreaths wreathe of natural a I 1 lowers flowers that hung upon the wall I 1 ne near the horticultural tools they were the admiration of all and many times did we hear bear visitors wondering by what process they were thus preserved in their natural form and colors la in as few words as possible we will gevelt etive it bet the finest and whitest of river or like sand wash it so clean that the he water in flowing from it will be pure as if from the tha well heat it very hot and while hot mix it thoroughly with acid in the proportion of one pound ot of the latter to ong ono hundred lounds lounda of sand let it cool take a small chalmen sieve bleve an ananais ana and j nail nall boards under the bot torn forn om to prevent the sand from running through place enough sani sani in the sieve to hold bold the blowers in position not covering them then with a sheet of 0 paper twisted in the form of a cone or funnel carefully let the sand pass through it between around and over the flowers cover about balt bait an inch set by the stove or in some warm place where the sand eadd will be kept at a temperature of severity seventy degrees fahrenheit when they have remained sufficiently long remove the boards carefully from the bottom and let the sand run outa out leaving your flowers preserved in per lecolon tec tion the T 11 e only difficulty is to know when the process is complete different plants differing in the time required those with leaves and petals needing more than light ones no exact rule can be given on this point seven hours are sufficient for some while others require twelve and even evea more experience alone can determine this it is 13 abst always for a beginner to experiment with a single plant at a time at first when he be his has succeeded with a certain variety and noted the time required he can proceed to others and in a short time become versed in t 1113 lis its art it should be mentioned that the flowers for this purpose should be picked dry d ir ay m aday after the dew is all evaporates evaporated SMALL POX IN SHEEP the north british agriculturist says bays it appears from the most recent account accounts from wiltshire that the disease known ai as email small pox is spreading readi in the A nuin flock kept on a farm w which 1 is separated from the one in which tha the cheep were first affected by several fiilds and annd a canal has also become diseased this renders the tha case a subject act of considerable apprehension to owners of sheep the sheep were being fattened ened for market and consequently in high condition con euion tion thus sho eho on ving ring that high bagh condition does not prevent the nit animals nii nals coming becoming ire fre affected with email small pox there is as yet no evidence that the disease in the second flock affected is the result ct cf contagion contag ion iOD but it is highly probable that there has been some agency at work which is at present unknown to the owner of tue tuie flock since the first appearance of the malady in england in 1847 there has not existed the same anxiety among flock masters in the south of england the disease was exterminated in 1848 the cause of its ita reappearance afar a lapse of fourteen years is 13 pi ebent unknown but we believe it will be ultimately traced to the importation of sheep which brought the germs of the disease with and by contact or otherwise with sheep which were taken into the county cf ef wiltshire communicated the malady to parrys flock fiock the time of holding the autumnal pairs of these sout southern hern bern counties is at hand at wilton and Ap appleshaw Apples haw baw several thousands of sheep are annually sold cold those sold going into other counties in all probability p roba the sheep exposed for sale this thiu year wil vill be the means of spreading small pox over a wide area at the present time the disease is 19 confined to the district where it originally appeared CURE FOR A JIBING HORSE J T R S writing to wilkes spirit from pittsburg pa thus describes an occurrence to which ho he was witness I 1 noticed a novel cure for a fit of balks applied to a horsa horse yesterday A fine iron glay elay borbe about 16 pr or 17 hands hieb hleb hith and weighing probably 1200 or pounds with a ia fine large ope i forehead and bright
