APPLYING SULPHUR TO GRAPE VINES.
A series of experiments with the appli-
cation of sulphur to grape vines to prevent
the attacks of the vine parasite, were made
in France this year by NJ. Mercieul, of La
Tour, St. Gelen, who has sent an account
of the results to the Academy of Science.
He removed about foot OF soil round the
stems of the vines, but did not go any
deeper than the iaments of the ROOTS
handful of sulphur was then sprinkled
into this cavity, most Of which was placed
upon the stem. This was in the month
of August last and the vines so treated
were made healthy, while those which
were not so treated were much affected
with the blight. NJ. Mercieul recommends
winter as the best season for applying the
sulphur.

POWDERS.
THESE Powders have proved, after
Il trial of several years. to be superior
to any preparation of the kind in use
The chief superiority of these Powders
arises from the fact that they are COM
poed of Medicines that have Laxative,
) Tonic and Purifying properties. The Lax
:. alive elects crudities from the stomach and
: inteslines the Tonic gives strength TO
{ the system of the horse, and the purifying
medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood and lay the foundation for II healthy
and vigorous circulation. The use of
them improves the wind Strengthens the
appetite, and gives the'horse fine smooth
and glossy skin-improving the appear
ance, vigor and spirit of this noble ami
NAL
These Powders are not intended as
most powders are, to bloat the animal, SO
rs TO give him the appearance Of being fat
when not really so--but, TO remove the
disease and promote his general health
These Powders will strengthen the sto-
mach and intestines, cleanse them from

thy state. They are sure prevention of

ic or Bolts. A few doses of the Powders |
will remove the worst cough on any horse
Were the owners of horses to feed few
of these Powders every year, they might
save the lives ofmany valuable horses.
MlLCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in
increasing the quantity Of Milk in Cows,
gives it an importance and value which

A DANGEROUS RIDE.-Ou the Friday
morning train out on the Detroit and
Milwaukee Railroad, boy took dead-head
passage at the imminent risk of his life.
He crawled under the car before starting,
and secured a seat upon the brake timbers,
where he escaped observation, probably
congratulating himself on bis ingenious
scheme for travelling without, money!
When the train reached Royal Oak, a
distance of twelve miles, he crawled out
from his hiding place, covered with mud,
bruised, and more dead than alive, He
had chung to bis narrow seat for dear life,
knowing that to relax his hold for an in
slant would be certain death. He was
about ten years of age, had run away
from his home in Grand Rapids, and find
ing himself penpiless in, this city, had
taken this means to get home again. He
was permitted TO finish his journey in the
cars.-Detroi Free Press.

The radical papers Throughout the
country are beginning u admit that the
only-safe road tolRichrnond is byAway of
the peninsula. AS another attempt is
about being made by the overland route,
it would be well to place the following
upon record, from a late number of the
Chicago Tribune
!. at is thought strange that, in the face
of all the obstacles so often and so fatal
ly encountered, General Halleck will per-
sist in his plan of advance, when he might
send his army down the Potomac and up
the James river to within few miles of
Richmond, and then establish base,
with plenty supplies at hand. Why, from
that point he might dig his way into
Richmond, as he did from Pitlsburg to
Corinth, investing Fort Darling on the
left by land and water, capturing it, if
need be, and passing the gunboats up
beyond it TO protect the left flank of his
army, while he efectually covered the
right by field works, such as the British
and French used from Balaklava to Sc
bastopol, which is greater ways than
Halleck would have to go. A great naval
power, such as ours, should always use
that arm of the service ms far as possible.
Water communication is always cheeper
than land, and it is not liable to be brok-
en- up or cut off. If it is necessary TO
cover Washington, let an army be raised
for that purpose, or let volunteer militia
garrison the forts. The present route to
Richmond may be very well as feint, to
engage the attention of the enemy, TO GOV.
Washington, &c. 1t may answer for one
or all of these purposes; but there are
military men in and out of the army
whose opinion is entitled 10 respect, and
have from the commencement pronounced
it impracticable so far as the avowed OBJ
ject is concerned. 1t is TO be hoped that
different disposition will be made of the
Potomac army in the spring; aud above
all that it will not be uselessly and mad
ly buried against the natural and artifi-
cial obstacles which form the present line
Of march TO Richmond"
All this is true enough, and is sign
that the radicals are coming to their SEN
ses.

FREMONT IN THE FIELD.-We under

put his name at the head oftheir columns.
A mass convention is to he held at Cleve-

This is an important movement in many
