6 WILLAMETTE FARMER. Eucalyptus Globulus. lit Um In Improving Iht Salubrity ol Mirtlif and Malarial Dlttrlclt. The many Tory Interesting account of which bare been published with regard to the Euca lyptus globulus do not teem to bar exposed all Its yalnes. And we find In Comptts Ilnulus of Oct. 0, a note pretested to the Fi ench Academy of Bctencea by M. Qlmbert, in which he de acribea another value equally aa great at those with which all are ao familiar. From report received from various reliable source, it seems to have been determined that in localities where the Eucalyptus flourishes there hat been a com plete disappearance of intermittent fevers. "A tree," aaya the author, "springing op with Incredible rapidity, capable of absorbing from we son ten rimes lis weigut 01 waicr in iwenty four hours, and giving to the atmosphere an tisepllo camphorated emanations, srjouM play a very important part in improving the health of malarloua dlstrlcta." It has; the property of absorbing directly and rapidly the water of shallow marshes, thus preventing the fermen tation which aro produced, and paralysing the animal miasma proceeding from them which might arise from them. 1 he prediction! with this regard, which were made in 1809, have in all cases lieen realized. The author furnishes a few of the numerous results, which are very Interesting. The English were the first to experiment in their sanitary plantations In Cape Colony, where they were eminently successful. Two or three ycara were found sufficient to change the climatic, conditions, and the aspect of Iho malarious districts of their possessions. Home year ago the Atgeriana took occasion to spread the JCucalyiitus throughout the French possessions in Africa, and the follow, ing are some of the result obtained, aa coin muntratrd by II, Trottlrr: "About 20 mllea from Alger, at Fondouk," he aaya, "I owned a property situated nesr the river Ilawjze, the emanations from which pro duced Intermittent fever among the farmers and Ibeir servant every teir. In tho spring ol 1807 I plantod upon this farm 13,000 plants ol tho Eucalyptus ijMiiIui In July of that year, tho season ill which tho fevers appear, the far more wero completely free from them. In the mean time tho trcea had scarcely attained a bight ol more, than 8 or 10 leet. Since that time the settled population has-been entirely free from fevers." Fourteen thousand Eucnlyplus treca were planted upon the farm of lien Macbydlin, In Ibe vlcluily ol Constantino. It lis for seveial years pant been noted for it Insalubrity, being suirouuded with marshra throughout Ibeentlre year. The troublo eutlrely disappeared and tbe soli became perfectly dry In Ave ycara. Tho atmosphero Is constantly charged with ar omatlo vapors, tbe farmers are no longer trou bled with disease, and their children are bright with health and vigor. The operations of the manufactory ol Guit in Uoustiinllne were rendered wholly Impracti cable during the summer on account of tbe pestilential emanations from tho marshes with which It waa surrounded. SI. Haulier conceiv ed and put into practice the idea of planting a largo number of Eucnlyplus treca In these marsh es, and in three yeara ubout twelve and a ball acrea ol Ibe marshy soil were converted Into a maeulflceut Dark. Tbe water comi letelr dia. anpiared, and the health of tbo workmen has since uveu in goou nonunion. In consequence of tbe largo grovo ol Eucaly ptus globulus on tbe faun ol Maison-Uarree, which is situated in a district iu which tbe lu bsbltant formerly ereenmbed to tbo malaria, similar hygienic revolutions have taken place. It it atate I bv land-owners In Cuba that Ihrra also the paludal and lellnrlo diseases bsve dis appeared iroru mo malarial districts wuero the Hucalyptus bat been cultivated. According In ltamel, Auttralla is very heal thy where tbe Eucalyptus flourishes, aud is uu healthv where tbe tree la not found. On the banks ol tbe Vnr, near tbe entrance, ol a railroad-bridge, I situated n garrison house, near which inrtb-works were thrown up to dam tbe rlvi r, lu order to build Ibe bridge. Tbe malaria arising from it made It urcesaary to chsnga the guard each year. Two yeara ago, II. Villard, Ibe eugiueer in charge ol that section ol the road, planted fortv treea in the vicinity of tbe building, and since that time ibis post hat been tbe most healthy In the country. Ibrso oviileucta fully establish Ibe tact that tbe Eucalyptus globulus baa a cood iBid in preventing tbe spread ol malarial diseases, aud that it may aervo d Idedly practical purposes iu this paitloular. 'throughout our entire aouth and southwest many valuable i nterprlaes have been wholly iuiiiractlouble from causea atatod above, and il the exaniplra thus aet be fore u were followed throughout the aouth, there ia no doubt that many of the dismal, ewainpy and marshy district!, hitherto entirely wortbu ss, may le transformed Into beautiful, Jdcasunt and lualtby sections. .tyrlcu'lunil ttpoi I for Xov.

Aa the matter seema to pos sess a renewed interest at the present time, we reproduce the article which we then published: Correspondence bearing on the question of. stimulants bad been solicited from persons at fifty-three widely separated points upon tbe earth' eurface.

Any apriug wheat can be changed into winter, or winter into spring, merely by gradually changing Ihe Uu in which either ia sown, By gradually lowing apriug wheat earlier every ssason, in a few years It cau be sqwn Iu the fall, and become winter wheat. Or, just be fore tbe cloa of winter, sow wluter aud 1st It germinate slightly, then let It freeze up till aprlng, and next year it can be successfully sown in the aprlng. And aa it is 'universally conceded lhat winter it belter than spring wheat, it ia a natural conclusion that th soou er wheal can be safely aown In Iht, spring the nearer will it attain, to th quality of the winter wheat.

It appear that Ihe existence of the India rubber tree In Upper Burmah waa not known, or, at alt event, turned to account until compara tively recently. Three European who were employed at the jade atone tntnea were foroed to acarch about in the foreat for a aubatance that would effectually repair a diving appara tus that they used In working for Jade, stone. The result waa the discovery of India-rubber, which waa found to completely answer tbe purpose. Our political agent at Mandalay haa recently issued a report on the resources ol Upper Burmah, which, among other Interest ing Information, gives some particulara as to the preparation of india-rubber. The esUmaled number of trees, which are chiefly altuated In the Bhamo and Mogoung districts It 400,000. They thrive beat in damp, moist aoil, and in thick forests, shady and cool. Tbe tree attain to a bight ol from CO to 100 oublts, being from IS to 20 cubita in girth at the base (full grown treea), and with roota creeping over the ground for some distance. They are fit for tapping when from 0 to 10 yeara of age, at which time they are from 15 to 20 cubita in hight and 3 cubita in glrtb. When the time for tapping arrives. Incisions are made In the trunk of tbe trees and in the roota above ground. Hollow bamboo cupa about feet in length, aloped and pointed similar to a prepared pen, are then Inserted in tbe Incision and receive the oozing juice or milk. Three or four hundred of these bamboo receptacles are inserted in each tree. The tap ping ia conlinned for about a month, after which time it la discontinued and the wound allowed to heal. At the expiration of another month the trees have regained strength, and the tapping la recommenced. In preparing tbe india-rubber Iht following crude method it observed. Water Is boiled in larse iron Dans, and the Juice of the trio it thrown in, when it gradually inicxena, and subsequently is dried, iho india-rubber ao obtained, we are told, ia bclcg brought into local use for covering water-buckets, baskets aud boxes aa a subtlluto for dam mer. Captain Strorer alatct that 70,000 vttt'(l vlss 335 lbs) of India-rubber were brought from Mogoung lait year, and that be himself haa seen thirty or forty cart loada entering tbe King'a palace at Mandalay In one day. Upper Burmah, it la computed, could produce two or three hundred tons of this useful aubitance annually. British Trait Journal. California Prosperity. There I mora solid prosperity in California to-day than in any other Slate in tbe Union. Most branches of business aro and have been for some time comparatively lucrative. There have not been extravagant profits; therefore business baa not been forced, nor great stocks of goods unnecessarily accumulated.

But when we take the condi tion ol our Htate and compare it with lhat of others we aee a marked difference; when we compare the number and circumstances of our paupers with those of New York, 1'hiladelpbla or any great Eutern city, after allowing tor Ibe difference in numbers, we can aee bow much better we are off than any.

At a rule, those farmers who are tbe most careful in cleaning their seed grains, and the moat thorough In their cnltlvl vatlon have the fewest weed to conteud with; and such art the most fully compensated in the end for their pains. On of tbe most prolifio sources of tbe spread of weeds la towing di rectly from tht threshing-machine, for how ever well these machine clean the grain for market purpose and Ibe belter causes of them do It admirably still there la no power machine that will clean aeed in ao thorough a manner aa to fit it for sowing. This, however, may be accomplished by careful cleaning by the more modern fana, having sieves adapted to the various sizes and shapes ol seeds, and perfectly controlled by the blast given. With their use we have otten secured a large advance over the ordinary market price, on account ol the aeed belns perfectly clean.

Hop! aND FW Farmers' Boots. Why do farmer! wear tuoh hard, heavy boot? Tho majority of theto, and othor outdoor laborer, wear coarse, heavy cow biilo boots, usually termed "alogat." These are exceedingly clumsy vrhon they re now, and ovory time they aro worn In wet wetthor they become harder and ttilT er until they are na unyielding aa to much wood. I frequently read in agricultural journal direction for rendoring boot water-proof, each as giving them a coat ing of rosin, beeswax, tallow, oto., all of which make tbo leather bard and ttlff, when Ihe Brett neeesaitr it to mako it toft and pliablo. If you want to havo wot foet, wear thick, heavy boots ooatcd with this mixture, aud my word for it, you will bo successful.

Oet h pair of boots made from what shoemakers term a "runner," have good, thick, double soles put on them. You may'not bo able to find a pair rcady-mado with soles thick onough, but you can havo thorn made to ordor. Thoy should be as heavy in the soles as ordinary atogas. xieiore wearing too boots givo tho bottoms a good coating of tallow, snd dry it in, then oil tho "uppers" with castor oil, about ono tablespoonful to each boot, then oil tlicm twice a woeK wttti tbo castor oil, when ono tcaspoonfnl will be sufficient. If tho weathor should bo rainy, or you aro compelled to work in water during the day, wash your boots oloan at night, hold them by tho flro until quite warm, and oil them wbilo wot, and you will bavo no trouble from your boots getting hard and shrinking up, so that you oannot get them on. It tho leather should becomo red, glvo a coat of ordinary suoo blacking bo foro oiling;. Tho effect of castor oil is to solton tho leather whilo it fills tho pores, and provonts tho water from ontoring. I havo stood in mud and wator, two or thrco inches doop for ten hours a day for a week without feeling any dampness, or having any difficulty in getting my boots on or off. Of courso if tney aro kopt con stantly wet, they must bo oiled overy night. Homo may think castor oil too oxponsfro, but as so little is icouired each time, tho cost ia trifling; fifty cents or less will fur nish a sufficient quantity to last as long as an ordinary pair of boots, and they will woar much longer when this oil is used, than with anything I havo over triod.
