CURE FOR THE BITE OF A SNAKE.
As the public in the western. country are
much interested in knowing whatever may
be \ good remedy for the poison elected in
to the human hesh by the bite of snake,
think it my duty to state fact within my
own knowledge.
About the year 1915 or 1916. one of my chill
dren was bitten by copperhead, on the
inside Of both ankles, nearly at the same in
stant. l instantly produced pulverized
charcoal, and mixed 1t with as much hogs
Lard rs made it adhere. I then made plas-
ter o. it, and applied it to the wounds,
renewing the plaster every twenty or thirty
minutes. for ten or twelve hours, at the
same time giving the child fresh milk to
drink. This remedy had the desired effect
and very little pain was endured after the
application. Not more than FIVE minutes {.

THE FARMER.
From the Farmers Assistant.
TRANSIT ANT1NG.

In performing this operation, on all plants
Of wooden texture, the essential point is to
set the roots in the ground in situation SIM
liar to that in which they we're placed, be-
fore they were taken out; not only the same
depth. but, as Mr.. Forsyth says, with the
same side to the south which was the south
side before: But as they cannot be got out
of the ground nor set again into it, with their
full length Of roots, these must be cut off
to length proportionate to their size.-
Where they are very small, let them be cut
at the length of six or eight inches, and
where they are large, double that length
or more. Let them be carefully taken up,
without breaking the roots, cutting off those
that get broken, and cutting them all off at
their proper length; and let the hole, into
which they are to be set. be sufficiently
large to receive the roots without cramping
them: Then shake in the earth gently a.
bout them, so as that each one shall retain
its proper position. AS it is difficult to give
the fbrous roots their proper place, it is
generally best to cut most of these off. In
fruit trees, all the downright roots should be
cut off.
Ifthe roots have been some time out Of
ground, it is advisable to soak them in wa
ter for eight or ten hours before they are
set in. In cold or stiff soil, they should be
set shallower. than in warm mellow one.
After they are properly bedded in the
ground, a stake should be driven in near to
each one, leaning towards them, and to these
shey should each be tied, to keep them stea-
dy; and some mulch should be laid round
she roots OF each.
In transplanting the smaller kinds, a wet
time is to be chosen, and the evening is bet
ter than any other time. AS much of the
earth should be left round the roots as pos
sible, in taking them out of the ground; ant
il they are raised with a little instrument
called gardeners trowel, by which bunch
of earth can be raised with them, they viii
be the better for it. The holes where
they are set should be we'll watered, and tn,
water should previously be well warmed by
she sun.
For the times OF transplanting different
plants, and the distances they are to be SCI
apart, see the different articles which are
the subjects of this operation.

Mr.. RANDOLPH has sustained the views we yester-
day threw out as to his incompetency to act as
Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means.
by sending to the Speaker his resignation of the Of
flee. If this step was not the result of reflection
if the objections we urged against his appointment
did not urge him to the measure we are left to
make the only inference which is left at our option
that he was originally appointed by the Speaker,
with the understanding that he should resign so as
to leave the chair vacant for Mir. McDuFFIE. We
can scarcely believe that the Speaker calculated on
a cordial co operation in the Committee between Mr.
RANDOLPH and Mr.. McDUFFIE, since he must have
recolected the contemptuous manner in which the
former expressed himself of the latter, and the in
dignant retort of Mr. McDufFe, some few years
since, in the course of a debate in the House OF
Representatives. 1t is probable that Mr. Randolph
has neither forgotten nor forgiven that retort. 1t
he has not, he could not serve on the Committee
with Mr.. McDuffie ; and if the Speaker knew this.
he must have made the appointment with full
knowledge that 1t would be resigned whether the
step now taken by Mr. Randolph is in fulflment Of
an original understanding or is the effect Of some
sudden insight into his own incompetency, we will
not decide In either case, the effect is the same
