MADE a RAIsE.-lIcnry Turner, the great
equestrian, whose circusses used to draw
such large audiences wherever he went q
few years ago, died recently in New York,
and having no heirs, willed his property, a.
mounting TO $4,000, to his old partner in
business, Levi j. North, of Chicago. We
svmpaihize with Mr.. \. in the loss of SO
good friend, and congratulate him on this
substantial occasion to his money chest.
Mr.. North is a gentleman deserving Of good
luck, for he admits all country editors free

"THE BORDER RuFFIANs TANED."-Such
is the caption given by the fusion papers to
a letter from Mr.. Army in which he describes
his treatment by the Mssourians when he
appeared among them to purchase supplies
for the sufferers in Kansas. He found the
Missourisns not only willing to sell to him on
liberal terms, but they treated him with
kindness and generosity that amazed him.
The fusionists, at loss to reconcile this
magnanimity of the Missourians with the
preeonccived idea Of their rufhanism, say
they must have become frightened and
tanned" Tie thought seems not to have
occurred to these fusion editors that the
Missourians may have been grossly malisned.
The truth is, human nature is about the
same everywhere. New England undertook,
by fair means or foul, to make a Canada of
Kansas, and the Missourians determined to
defeat the scheme. In the contest that en-
sued, there was violence and outrage on
both sides, and one party cared about a.
little for law as the other. But the war
over, the parties meet on friendly terms,
and are mutually astonished to find each
other no worse than the average of the bal
ancc Of mankind.

CARE OF CALVES. - Don't starvC
your calves. If they are to be killed
for veal, their flesh is miserable and
unhealthy food, unless they have been
well fed. You do not wish to sell
poison. If you intend to raise them,
feed them very well; for this is the
only way to lay the foundation for
health and strength, when they grow
up. Good bulls, or oxen, or COWS, do
not commonly grow from starved

1. Give carly attention TO these old
customers tho weeds; we do not refer
now so much to those that spring mp
in gardens and fields, that You are cnl-
tivating, as to those that grow up in
pastures and meadows, and corners
where they escape notice, and go to
seed" scattering themselves far and
wide. Thistles, docks, briars, mul-
lens, and all that class will Illustrate
what we mean. BY nipping them in
the bud, or rather by taking them up
by the roots, you will save a great
deal of trouble, and greatly improve
your ground.
.. " Don't put off till tomorrow
what can be done to-day" in the mat
ter of planting and seeding. Every
thing should be in the ground as ear
ly as May, everything, we mean, that
is usually put in at this season of the
year.
Don't forget to plant pumpkins gen
crou8ly among your corn, especially
if you are planting on turf ground
II tue pumpkins do not come mp you
have lost little. IF they do come up
and do well, you will gain something.
Pumpkins make excellent pies in the
fall, and are "gooa as pie" to cattle
that are fattoning.
4. If you like q dish OF early turn,
fps or cabbage, SOW a small bed
Of the former and set out a few Of the
latter now. There is no reason why
you should not enjoy a dish Of these
Injuries carly rs well as those who
live in town-a little pains will Sc
cure them.
8. When you see where you made
a mistake last year, at this time, try
10 avoid the same one this year. Did
you wash your sheep too early last
year! Wait a little this year. Did
you wait too long before planting last
year! BE more prompt this year. 80
Of a thousand things,
Make each year a critic on the last.
