How TO STop BLooD.-Take the fine dust of
teas, or the scrapings of the inside of tanned
leather, and bind it close upon the wound and
blood will soon cease to flow. These articles
are at all times accessible, and easy to be OBJ
tanned. After the blood has ceased to flow,
laudanum may be advantageously applied to
the wound. Due regard to these instructions
will save agitation of mind, and running for
the surgeon, who would probably make no
better prescription, if present.

the roots would be free from excessive mo ct.
ure-thereby giving better maturing power
to the soil, and enabling the fertilizing agents
to permeate among and beneath the roots.
The lot should be deeply plu@ed and highly
cultivated for root crops one or two years
previous to setting the trees, which latter
should be done in the spring, and perhaps not
more than fifteen feet apart each way-giving
to the acre 1893 trees. ! should train them
as pyramids, keeping the lowest branches
within two or three feet Of the ground.
Care should be taken to keep the land IN a
fertile state, and root crops for number of
years could be grown in the intermediate
spaces. The time when all the resources Of
the land should be devoted to the trees,
Judgment should dictate. After the trees
begin to bear heavily, some special manuring
might be requisite, but, generally speaking,
the best mineral manures are the hoe and the
cultivator.

wheels, weighing, with water, about ten tons,
and being nearly thirty feet lUnp fiom end to

eter, the fore wheels smaller, all fitted with
endless chains, and the steerage is effected
by altering the lock Of the front wheels with
short coach pole worked by chains, and a
wheel like the rudder of ship. There is
also screw for further adjusting the level of
the boiler to different gradient. The rails
are not only laid down before each wheel,
and taken up behind It, but being loose and
disconnected with each other, and being
