RECIPES FOR WOUNDS IN HoRsEs.-Mr. Ii.
I. Williams of Burr Oak, furnishes the &C.
companying recipes. He has fully tested
their value in extreme cases. For fresh
wound in horse from whatever cause, take
Sal Ammoniac, one pound.
High soines Tor whiskey,) one quart.
Put together and dissolve, and apply to the
wound several times day, and cure will be
effected speedily. A neighbours horse, he said
under full speed, ran against the sharp end Of
a rail, which tore the flesh in such manner
that the shoulder bone was laid entirely bare
The above compound was applied diligently
and In less than six weeks the horse was al
work, though the neighbors declared at the
time that he could not recover.
Accidents will often happen to horses, says
Mr.. w.. when we arc travelling distance
from home perhaps, such as cutting the feel
and legs with the shoe-corks, very common
accident. and it;syery convenient to know
of some easily-to-be-iound remedy to apply il
such cases.
Take one ounce gum camphor, one pint o
vinegar, not needful to be very nice about thu
proportions, apply this three or four times
day, and your horse need not stop work.

CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.

A girl. young and pretty, but above all
gifted with an air of adorable candor, lately
presented herself before certain Partisan
lawyer, 1--WE translate the incident from the
French journals for the benefit of our home-
made attorneys,) and thus addressed him =
Monsieur, | come to consult you upon
grave affair. | want to oblige man love-
to marry me in spite of himself. How shall
l proceedr
The gentleman of the bar had of course
sufficiently elastic conscience. He reflected
moment; then, being sure that no third per-
son overheard him, replied unhesitatingiy.
MademoiseIe, according to our law you
already possess the means Of forcing a maj, to
marry you. You must remain on three occa.
sious alone with him then you can swear
before judge that he is your lover
And that will suffice, Monsieur q
Yes, Madmeoisele, with one further con
dltion.'

SHARP PRAor1cn.-A New York cores
pondent of the Sidney Democrat says that
the proprietors of one of the first hotels in
that city owed the sum of 5000, which could
not be collected from them. They were fin
ally sued, and the lawyer went up to the hotel
to serve summons. When he served it, the
landlord smiled, and told him he was taking d
great deal OF useless trouble-the property
was all mortgaged, and judgemnt was Of no
use. The lawyer told him he might do as he
wished about paying the amount, but be should
come up about dinner time and attach the
whole dinner, and repeat the same every day
until the judgement was satisfied. 1t is, per-
haps needless to add that the $500 were soon
paid.

MULCHING WITH WooD-SnAvINGs-:E. Her.
sey, in the Mem England Farmer, RECON-
mends wood.shavings as u mulch for young
orchards. He says
Having few fruit trees set on barren
knoll, which, although they had yearly re-
ceived liberal mulching with grass, assum-
ed the appearance premature decay, and in
fact, had already taken the down hill course,
l resolved to try the effects of mulching with
shavings. Around each tree put two bar
rels Of shavings, within circular of eight
feet in diameter, leaving a small space between
the shavings and the tree to be filed with
fresh earth. To keep the shaviugs snug, a
thin coat Of grass was spread over the whole.
To fully test the experiment, part of the
trees were treated the same as they had for
merly been. After the lapse Of one year,
(which was last,) those trees mulched with
shayiugs, put out vigorous shoots, and their
dark green foliage could be easily distinguish
cd from the others at great distance.
So well satisfied was with the result, | last
year used upwards of hundred barrels,
which has proved equally beneficial to the
trees, while the first | mulched continued to
thrive even beyond my expectations

Very well, Monsieur. l will retain you
as counsel in the management of the affair.
Good day.
A few days afterwards the young girl re-
turned. She is mysteriously received by the
lawyer, who, scarcely giving her time to seat
herself, questions her with the most lively
curiosity.
Well, Mademoiselle, how do matters pros

mounted the stairs too rapidly, and that emo
ton made her breathless. Her counsel en-.
deavored to re-assure her; and made her in.

1t is useless, Monsieur said she, I am

The lawyer, thus fairly caught, had thu
good sense not to get angry. The most sin

wife, who, by the way, makes an excellen
housekeeper.

WATERMELON JUIcE.-A correspondent of
the Prairie Farmer presents tho following
method of using water.melons -
l endeavor every year to raise good wa
ter-meon patch. They are healthy and
delightful fruit, | think. Icultivate the icing
variety; plant early in May, and again to-
wards the close Of the month, so that they
may come in succession. When they com.
mence ripening, we commence cutting, and use
them freely during the hot weather. When
the weather becomes cool in September, we
haul quantity of them to the house, spill,
them open, with spoon scrape out the pulps
into cullender, and strain the water into YES
sells. We boil it in an iron vessel into syrup,
then put in apples or peaches, like making
apple-butter, and boil slowly until the fruit is
well cooked; then spice to taste, and you have
something most people will prefer to apple
butter or any kind of preserves. Or the syr.
up may be boiled without fruit, down to mo-
lasscs, which will be found to be as fine as
the best sugar-house molasses. We have made
of Fall as much as ten gallons of the APPLE
butter, if may SO call it, and molasses, which
has kept in fine condition until May.

LIME ON COMM. r. F. Bingham, of
Ohio, communicates to the Southern Cuhivo-
tar the following experiment he made with
lime upon young CORN
al have just concluded an experiment with
lime upon field Of corn, which may be wor-
thy of notice. As the corn was comming up,
l applied about half pint of Stacked lime
to each hill, with the exception of four rows
in the middle of the field, which were left
that might see whether or no lining in the
hill was beneficial to the crop. The after
treatment was the same during the season.
Harvested separately the four rows unlimed,
and also the adjoining four that were lined,
(soil and situation being precisely the same, J
and the result was an increase of little over
one-cighth the amount in corn, in favor Of
that which was lined.

SHEEP SHEARINa.--A patent has been
granted to Palmer Manchester, of Burr Oak,
Michigan, for nothing less than the shearing
of sheep by machinery, instead of pair Of
sheep-shears-the common way. The machine,
which is small and neat, is hung by strap
to the arm Of the operator, and placed on the
body Of the sheep to be shorn. By simply
turning handle back and forth, and moving
the machine over the body of the sheep, the
wool is made to fly in double-quick time. 1t
is well known that the most skillful hands at
strengthening do not cut the fleece even and,
besides, the skin of the animal is invariably
clipped out by the shears in many spots. This
instrument cuts the fleece rapidly and evenly !;
never cutting any part of the wool twice and
it avoids cutting the skin Of the animal it is
therefore. humane as well as a good contri-
vauaa

PHILISTIA's DAUGHTER.


The tall cedar bowed DER the rolling streams light
And mOng their dark green shades fell the gold sunlight
There the waters grew dark in their dim lazy flow,
And murmured their songs 'mOng the reeds bending low,
The dove-eyed gazete and fair Judah's fawn
Game wandering mong the flowers the
And the breeze, was whispering from the blue Gaee
and rocked the pale flower, to the song Of the bee
green light fits through the cool orange bowers,
Made light with the bloom Of their fair sunny flowers
The pomegranates scarlet glows mons the green leaves
And the broad-cafed fg swells light to the breeze
Far, far away, Ger Judah's fair land,
Rolled the pillows Of green, by cool zephyrs famed
Yet brighter in beauty than the star jessamine,
Or the rose and the lily in elegant twine
Was Philistias fair daughter the pride of the land,
Her soft raven hair by the wind gently famed.
And dreamy her eye dark nights sable thrones
Soft as the light DER bright pillows strown,
Fair as the Peril in rose-couds of light dawn,
Was Phiistia fair daughter mong the gems Of the Lawn
And her bold daring lord now HES to her sidej
For short happy time hath she been his fair BRIDE
New her pulse wildly bounds aud her coral lips part,
For the brave manly Jew hath pressed her to his heart
With wonder she looks on his form proud and tall,
Twines the rings Of his hair round her fingers 80 small
Smiles on it's gold, gases love in his eyes,
0erhs broad brow smoothes her hand in glad surprise,
Then her fair gentle head his strong shoulder rests,
And twnes her small half round his broad breast.
All little ye Dream as the hours swiftly fly,
Loving and reading love, each fond beaming eye,
OF the anguish aud sorrow your parting await,
Or the woe and the darkness that hang your fate
Love on, love on ye Inflated pair,
For the of the shall behold your despair
Thy father hath laid It up deep in his heart
That thou from thy jew in malice shall part
Ere the morrow's sun shall in glory 60 down.
Or the gold beamiug stars the blue bilow crown,
Another as thy Lord by thee shall then sland
And clasp in his own thy cold icy hand.

To SpoRrsMEN.-Wash your gun barrels in
spirits of turpentine by dipping rag Or sponge
fastened on your gun rod into the liquid, and
swabbiDg them out three or four times, when
they will be cleared from all impurities, and
can be used almost instantly as the turpentine
will evaporate and leave the barrels dry; even
if they are little moist it will not prevent
their going off like water. After being washed
thus, there is no danger Of rust as when wa.

TRIMMING APPLE TREES.

Apple trees may be trimmed in any month
in the year, provided no large limbs are cut
still we prefer May and June to other
months, because the trees are then growing,
and the wounds are sooner covered.
You need not fear their bleeding when the
leaf is out, for leaves take up the sap as fast
as it is made. You will find that grape
vine does not bleed on being trimmed after
the leaf comes out.
One great error Of orchardsts should be
corrected. They neglect to trim annually.
At length, finding the trees bear but little
fruit, and that the limbs are too close and in
terfering with each other, a great onslaught is
made. Large limbs are cut, and large wounds
are produced. All this ARISES from neglect
of annual trimming. For when this is attend
ed to, no large limbs need cutting. You never
should cut limb that is more than an inch
in diameter, and then you need no plaster to
cover the wound In healthy trees the cut
will be closed up within two years, and there
is no danger of rot.
But you may say you have now an orchard
that has been long neglected, and you must
prune thoroughly in order to make it bear.
No. Let the large limbs alone; yon never
help neglected tree by cutting large limbs.
Thin out the smaller shoots, and let the old
limbs alone. BY cutting, you run the risk of
producing more rotten wood than fruit.
When you trim the tree, take care and not
wound the limbs that you stand on--and let
no man climb up tree with heavy boots or
shoes. He will do more mischief with the
nails in his boots, than service in thinning the
branches. Thin shoes or slippers may be used
on climbing trees. either to trim or to gather
fruit.-Mass. PlOughman.

TIE DOLLAR MARK.-The true derivation
of it is the figure s. The Spaniards, from
whom we derive the dollar count by reals
as the French do by francs. A real is valued
II - cents, or one eighth part of dollar,
Any one who has read "Gil Bias" or " Don
Quixote" will recollect the pieces of eight
which is frequently used by the authors Of
these works This term, then, means nothing
more than dollar, or eight reals When,
therefore, the dollar became generally used,
the figure 8 was prefxed to express dollars,
and in the process of time the eight has been
changed to the present mark. 1t is asserted
that Gen. Hamilton first used this mark, soon
after the adoption of our currency of dollar.
and cents. However this may be, the figure
8 is, no doubt, the original of the mark.

"There is no country in the world" says q
contemporary, "where the people are so adj
dicted to the medicine eating propensity, as
the United States. 1t has grown to be a
perfect mania disease of itself. The fact
is, Nature never designed the human body to
be such o receptacle Of medicine. If men
would but study the laws of nature, diet pro-
perly instead of excessively, be regular in
their habits, instead OF regular in their doses,
use common sense and cold water freely, and
the doctor as little as possible, they would
live longer, suffer less, and pay little for the
privilege"
