The Portsmouth Journal, an excellent week
ly published at New Hsmpshire's only sea-
port, records the death Of Mr.. Jacob Brown,
at the age OF 80. At sixteen his father gave
him yoke of steers-a start in life not un-
usual in that day in the neighborhood Of Old
Strawberry Bank, as Portsmouth was then
styled. Young Brown sold the steers for 800.
This sum be put at interest at the New Eng
land rate of six per cent, resolving to keep IL
distinct from his other property. He adher-
ed to this determination strictly, and entered
upon manhood a tenant on the farm of ano-
Their, receiving one-half of the crops for his
labor and management--not touching his
800, but remaining atenant until he became
able to buy the farm. At the age of rs his
800 had become 81 900, and at the time Of
his death it had reached 81, 900. His entire
property, accumulated during 20 years of &C.
tive life, amounts to about $50, 900, which, in
his own language, is "the result of tempe
rate and frugal but not parsimonious habits,
and looking carefully after those little leaks
through which property frequently disap-
pear" This calls to mind the familiar prob
lem of note for one cent, at compound inter

THE WHEAT CROP.

Great interest is felt in all the western
States concerning the wheat crop, and they
have ample cause to feel such interest, apart
from any influence the European troubles may
have. The west is very poor because its
crops have been short for two years past, and
In Michigan and Canada there has been posi-
tive Distress in consequence of the absence of
any stock to forward to market and to pay
there Indebtedness. In this condition Of af-
fairs the prospect of an increased demand
abroad attaches more importance to the pros
poet of the crop than usual in every part of
the country.
The New York Courier and Enquirer has
late advices from Georgia and North Carolina
which represent the crop in the former State
as q fair average, the rust having injured il
In some portions, but not generally. In
North Carolina extensive damage from rust is
reported, and a crop below the average.
High prices are anticipated when the crop is
brought to market, and every effort will be
made to bring it out promptly. 1t is sent
forward in June and July usually, the largest
share coming in June when the market IA

In southern Illinois the new crop is report,
ed as very promising, and as nearly ready fol
harvest, the early season bringing 1t forward
two weeks before the time of former years
The first Of June is an early day for the new
wheat of southern Illinois to be offered il
market, but It will probably be nearly or quite
at that time, if favorable weather prevails
The crop is very promising in all parts of Iii
nois, though of course the critical stages arr
far from being passed anywhere. The con
tingencies of rust in June are very importan

COMPOST FOR PLUM TREES.

Plum trees, OF all kinds, require a great
deal of attention in this climate, to render
them productive. Not only should the soil
be of good quality, but it should be we'll ma
INJURED and kept in fine filth. Agood compost
for all kinds Of plum trees may be formed by
taking, as base, one cord of good muck,
three bushels of caustic or unslacked lime,
two bushels Of gympsum, and one bushel' Of
common salt. Most Of our varieties of the
plum have originated from the "beech plum, -
which is found growing near the ocean, and
generally in situations where the roots are
kept almost continually with the water, and
foliage moistened by the spray Of the ocean.
This accounts satisfactorily for the highly
beneficial effects of all saline manures when
applied to the plum tree. This compost should
be applied&o the trees in the spring, and well
dug in the soil. It will also have good effect
upon apple trees that require stimulant, as
well as upon ornamental trees when Irst
transplanted. 1t may be applied in the au-
tumn as well as in the sping.-JoHS HAxILI.

EGG PLANTS.

In reply to an inquiry, respecting the time
for setting out these plants, We would say that
there is nothing gained, while there is much
risk run, in setting out too soon. We have
found that about the last days of May--not
sooner than the 10Th, is about the best period.
Even then they should be protected every cool
night by placing over them conc-shaped boxes
open at the top. single cool night-such
as frequently occurs at this end of May, and
beginning of June, will retard their growth
for two weeks, and we believe seriously in
terfere with their productiveness.
Though rough-looking and seemingly har-
dy, the Egg Plant is one of the tenderest to
be found in the garden.
Tomato Plants, which can now be set out
at any time, in warm beds, should be protec.
ted in the same way for the first two weeks
