toned in the island of Cuba and the local authorities of
that colonial province in regard to the intervention Of
the former in the estates of nestates of their respective

force only in the peninsula shall also completely apply to
the Spanish dominons beyond Consequently in all
of abntestae death in said dominions of foreign
subjects domiciliated travelling therein, the local
authorities shall in conjunction with the consul of the
nation to which the deceased belongs draw up an inven
tory of the property and effects and will adopt appro-
pirate to place them in safekeepng until the
lawful heir shall forward his legal representa-
tive In such intesate estates well in tesament
estates the courts of the country alone shall have cog
nizance of claims which may be made for distaint of
property for the payment of creditors and Of any other
claim calling for the fulment of the obligations
sponsblities contracted in SPAIN in favor Of Spanish
subjects but at such tme and in like manner, when,
owing to the liabilities, the nestate estate Of
foreign subject is declared under control Of general
meeting of creditors owing to any other cause, said
intestate estate acquires gious character the local
authorities shall act by themselves and exercise their -
rsdicton according to law the consul of the nation

Grating Pears upon the Apple
tree for Stocks.

EDIToR OHIO FARMER.-What is the
reason that there are not more apple tree
stocks used for grating the pear into :
In my fathers orchard, there are three
pear trees, thai were grated on apple tree
stocks, close to the ground, SO that the
pear has taken root, and I should think
they are thirty feet high now. They have
borne pears many years, and look now as
though they might live to be a hundred
years old, as well as any pear trees in the
neighborhood.
The reason I ask the question is, be-
CO use there are SO few pear trees planted,
in proportion to the apple. The reason
assigned by many, for not planting more
pear trees is, because they cost three or
four times as much. If they can be wor-
ked upon the apple, I do not see why
they need to cost SO much more. In graf
ting the pear upon the apple, some thirty
growing kinds should be used, that will
readily take root. Then, if a different
is wanted, they should be grated again,
unofe VIC top 10 hanteu " commenCe.
H. B. SPENCER.
RocKPoRT, O., Nov. 25, 1857.
REMARKs.-The kind of pear which
would succeed, grated in this manner on
the apple, would be a strong grower,
that rooted readily from layers. No 9th
er variety would Re available and as the
rarer and more choice sorts would require
to be worked on this strong growing kind,
we have some doubts Of the economy of
the plan, as pear seedlings are easily
enough raised here, and they require no
.eeerawvrktDg. When pears are more
abundant, seed will be readily obtained;
but at present it is chiefly brought from
France.-ED. o. f.

VALUE OF STRAW IN MANUREs.-It is
found by careful chemical examination,
that different kinds of straw possess quite
different values, to work up into MANURE.
This relative value is very nearly deter
mined by the quantity of nitrogen they
contain. Barley straw is the poorest of
all oat and rye straWs are about one-
third better ; wheat is nesrly double in
value to barley /; buckwheat is better than
wheat; meadow hay or corn-stalks are
far ahead of any of these, being five times
as rich in nitrogen as barley straw and
red clover and pea straw are each about
Eve times as rich as barley. Whether
substances are mixed directly with ma
nure, eaten first by animals, they pro-
duce their relative effect.

REMOVING WARTs.-A paste made of
the ashes of willow bark and vinegar, and
put on the warts once or twice a day for
a week, or so, will cure them. A We.
~ little nitric acid put on a wart once
day, for a very short time, is a sure
cure in evry case, withoutsoreness or pain,
unless the acid is used to freely. Whittle
out a stick about as large as a knitting
needle, dip this in the acid, and just touch
the top of the Eart with it. It is better
to get on too little han too much. The
cure is certain, but the danger is in get
ting on so much as to cause pain.

FARMING IN MANE.-The town of Exc
ter, in Penobscot country, Maine, is al
most exclusively a farming town, and
recent examination and estimate of itE
value by competent gentlemen, has led
them to the declaration that it is worth
now twenty times as much as it was twen-
ty years since. 1t will hardly do to say
that farming in Maine is not a good bust
ness.
The man who persists in blowing up
his wife'sd flower garden, for the sake of a
small colony of cabbage plants, may be
saved by grace, hut he must have a very
singular idea of the abodes of the Blest.
Beauty in Nature is Natures way of
making love to the human heart, and he
who is not won, must have a small hand
full Of slick in his left breast.
PoTAToEs, How THEY Grow IN CALL
FoRNIA--J. A. Hobart, of San Peubia,
30 says the California Farmer, planted
his potatoes in July and harvested them
in January. The yield was 200 sacks
per acre.
A sack is 1870 pounds, which, by our
estimate, is two and one-sixth bushels, or
nearly as much as the average quantity
sold here for a barrel. It is equal to $50
bushels an acre; and it was stated that
there was 10 small potatoes in the crop.
The whole would probably average one
pound each. The sub-soil pillow was used
to the beam, and the mold board pillow as
deep as it could be driven, FIVE separate
plowings, so that the soil was stirred and
pslverized about two feet deep, and fire.
qusntly exposed to the action Of the at
mosphere. The result was the land pro-
duced a crop worth 5000 or 500 an acre.
Here is something for farmers in the At
lantic States to think about.
