"Because, neighbour he replied,
"I plowed the same way last year,

"Gold !" exclaimed tho amazed
ncighbor-"why how much did you
plow up9"
"Well some hundreds of dollars q
ycar-and I did it in this way; my
crops were twice as large where
plowed as deep as I now do, in the
same fields where ] formerly plowcd
only 10 half the depth, and they take
less manure too"

the nciyhbor, disappointed in the g"ll'
digging. "1fthat is the way you plo'
up gold, I am afraid you will never SC

old way, and find it the best. Tier
is little to learn in farming which thos
before us did not know"
"Well, neighbor, you may do as yo

Lice on Cattle and Ticks on
Sheep.

During the winter season, cattle and
sheep are often infected with vormin,
such as lice, ticks, &c. This trouble
generally happens to those lean in
flesh. Thevermin prevent their thriv-
ing, and some times have been known
to cause the death Of the animal itself,
by the irritation and prostration Of
strength which they occasion. We
have tried all of tho various washes
and lotions and ointmcnts, that have
been recommended for destroying
these pests. Many of them are efec-
tual; but it is troublesome to apply
them in cold weather. 1t is no small
! Job to wash or oil COW or calf all
over, thoroughly, in mid-winter, and it
it be not done thoroughly, the job will
have to he done again. The easiest
and most cIlectual mode of destroying
these nornir, is to suilocute them to
death with tobacco smoke. BY having
large tub orbox, with a tube teach
end, into which tobacco may be put
land set on fire; one end of tho tube
may be fitted on to the nose Of pair
of bellows, and the other applied a.
mong the hair of the calf or the wool
of the sheep, and the smoke blown in
| by the bellows. The destruction of
tho vcrmin issurc. A blanket,9ay be
thrown over the creature, which will
tend to keep the smoke in contact
with tho skin, and thus render tho cf.
feet more speedy in its operation. Ry
having a suitable instrument made, n
large stock of cattle or flock of sheep
may be gone over in short tine
Hens and other fowls that are infested
with lice, may be freed from them in
the same way.-Ilaiac Farmer.

An Extensive Dinner.

The following is communicated te
the New York Spirit of the Times, by
its Boston correspondent, ACORN
The story loses none Of its interest fol
being n matter of ii'ct:-
At the last "Hen Convention" ir
our city, some six weeks since, a mu
tual friend of ours, residing in the sub
urbs of our metropolis, came to tht
city in the morning to attend the "her
fair" where he purchased very large
and beautiful pair of Shanghai fowls
to breed from, and as he was to re.
main in town until evening, he sent
the birds by boy, with note to a
friend of his, living 1T tho Albion, re-
ouesting that he would take charge of
the chickens until the afternoon, as he
had some matters of business that
would detain him; he also told the boy
to say that he would dine with him at
4 o'clock.
The boy delivered the fowls, but
forgot the note, and simply remarked,
" Here'sI pair of rousing big chick
ems Mr.. Ms sent you, and says
he will dine with you a. O'clock
The gentleman supposing his friend
(who, by the way, knows n hawk from
q handsaw, and a canvassback from
broiled owl, )had sent something extra,
ordered them to be given to the cook,
with directions that they be killed and
dressed at once, as he had a friend to
dine with him ut 4 p. NJ. Tho order
was accordingly obeycd, and at the
appointed time the dinner was served.
After imbibing sundry wine hittcrs,'
as sharpcner to their appe'itcs, they
sat down, and the Shanghai owner
was requested to carve; and as he was
dissecting these enormous "cute mem
bers of the Hen Convention" he re-
marked to his friend
"You have an extraordinary fine
pair of chickens here"
"Yes," answered the other, "they
are an inditlerently good sized pair of
birds; they were sent to me by a mu-
tual friend Of ours"
"Indeed, were thcy7 dish
clever fellow he must be, Jim pret.
ty present this, and declare they are
Of tho most delicious flavor l over
tasted, and as juicy, too, as a canvass
back duck"
And so he continued praising the
rich ilavor OF the chickons, until they
had taken care of n couple of bottles
of Schrieder, and while chatting oyer
their bottles Of sherry, aud enjoying
thcirregalias, the owner orthe Shang-
hais said
"By-the:bye, Jim, wlutlo you think
Of my hen purchase this morning T"
"Why. Bill, | think tlry were most
delicious, aud wish you would dine
with me every day in the week il you
will send mo such chickens"
"Such chickcns!" cried Bill, MS the
thonght flashed neross his mind that

AN OVERLOOKING REVENUE.

THE IMPoRTATIoNs threaten us with surplus re-
venue Of S20,000,000 by December next, which,
strange as it may sound TO say 50, is public ca
lamity now felt by our Banks and Merchants, who
in city Subtreasury yesterday ST 400, 900;
the largest amount ever held there The amount has
become SO alarming that the Treasury Department,
upon consultation, has promised, in some form or
other, we do not exactly see how, without some APP
preparation, to deplete it, e ,sff
We are buying from Europe not only silks, vel
vets ribands and knicknackeres of all kinds, but what
is worse IRON railroad and bar iron when mountains
and hills full Of the ore and paying for them in Cali
ornia gold railroad bonds State bonds city and county
bonds, SC. Hence these importations Of the
last quarter in New York city which have amounted to
So 100000 against $9,444,OOO for the corresponding
quarr,r Of 1851 which was then very large. ano9
Under this state of facts modification Of the
laws becomes the first duty Of Congress- Con-
gress re-assembes in December The revenue in some
form or other must be reduced surplus
der Subtreasury act uncomfortable The free list must
be enlarged and the whole Class Of raw material for
features come under it, reduction of duties by
them however, will be inadequate to keep the revenue
down if the mporations continued as they now are,
and we shall be obliged to go some steps further
The duty iron is sometimes too high and sometimes
too low 1t is getting high now and is yielding too
much revenue, iron rises in price in England and
then, again. it will be too low goes down over sea-
sliding scale Of duties for iron is about bad was
the British sliding scale for bread AS iron goes up in
Liverpool the duties 60 up in New York. when just then
they should 60 down and as iron in Liverpool
down go duties in New York. when just at that time they
should so up. Is ~ a M .Es5r .a
Thus the very surplus revenue is about to compel a
change in the tariff Of 1916 duty that can no longer be
avoided or evaded even by the Democratic party.
