The South was once the great purcha-
ser of Western produce; the whole ener-
gies of that region being devoted to the
great staple Of cotton. By system of
exchange, the West and South were mu-
tually benefited, rates low and the sphere
of each not entrenched upon by the other.
In the new order of things, this arrange
ment has been broken up: these staples are
raised on a smaller scale and in less guam
titles, aud hence the prices are high !;
while the raising of grains is necessity,
to feed themselves, and for a lack Of
means to produce the heavier crops TIE
South is no longer a purchaser of the
corn, potatoes and pork of the Northwest
and prices decline and must, while North
and South both are raising the same crops
The cost of the war, through ubiquitous
tariffs and exemptions of bonds is laid on
the West, and that same war takes away
the ability to pay the imposition. Prices
rule low, while stamps, licenses, imports,
income taxes and seizures are vigorously
enforced. Defance Democrat,

A Remarkable Encounter

A remarkable though plausible story
comes from Bodega Bay, California, of a
terrific battle between sperm whale and
a number of swordish, which resulted in
the defeat of the whale. Tie fight was
witnessed by farmer blowing in his
field near the coast, only 8 few miles north
of the Golden Gate The sea was
smooth, and the first indications of the
conflict was a commotion In the water
nearly mile from the shore, but as the
combatants rapidly approached the land,
their movements became distinctly visible.
The sword6sh were five in number tie
whale though displaying great activity,
was no match for them In making their
thrusts into the side of the whale, the
swordfsh kept clear Of bis tail, one blow
from which waAd hars been fatal to eitls
er Of them. With maddened ldry the
whale struck right and left, then dived to
escape his tormentors but they followed
quickly, and soon brought him to the sur
face. Blood was seen spirting from deep
gasbcs in his sides. The contest lasted
nearly an hour, when the whale, with a
mighty effort. flung himself upon some
low rocks and soon died. Many persons
from the neighboring village of Peteluma
went out to view the carcass. 1t was ff-
ty or sixty feet in length. and there were
gashcs two feet deep and six feet long. in
its sides.

Remedy for the Peach Worm.


There is handy means for the des-
truction of this heretofore fatal enemy to
she peach tree, which is practical here
which has proved certain, beyond perad-
venture. 1t is simple, Of easy applica-
ton and expeditions. It consists of the
use of boiling ,oater applied to the collar
of the tree, in quantities varying accord
ing to the age of the tree-:n small trees,
say one inch in diameter, half "a pint is
sufficient and pint is enough for larger
ones. Remove the earth from around the
tree 5 few inches in depth, and just pour
the water boiling hot on the exposed roots
and it will kill every egg as well as worm,
With positive certainty. It has been tried
here tiNe and aguins upon srrcy that hare
been more Dian hair killed, and perfses-
restoration has been the result in every
case. No danger need be apprehended
from the effects of the hot water upon the
trees, unless quantity is applied to very
small tree When large number OF
trees have to be operated upon, fire
should be made in the orchard for heating
the water, so that it can be applied boil
ing hot. Considering the Importance of
this remedy to peach growers who may
not have heard of it; deem it but COM
mon.justice to give it circulation through
the columns of your paper. Its certainty
as remedy may be implicitly relied upon.
Isaac g. MASK, in Country Gentleman
The above remedy We have long known,
and although it has been repeatedly tried
in this neighborhood, We have never
heard of injury resulting from the scald-s
ing process. 1t would seem more dan-
gerous than it is Tracing the intruder

into his Businesses, is also simple and
an easy remedy.-,EO. Practical Farmer.

Destruction of Stumps.

The use of machinery Of any sort to
take up large stumps in any ordinary ara
bic land is Objectionable, because they take
up inevitably a large quantity of earth
with each, and leave whole almost OBJ
jectionable as the stump; and, moreover,
that after the stumps were out, there was
trouble in disposing of them. There are
two methods, which appeas feasible and
inexpensive Bore with two-inch au-
ger to the heart of the stump gil tho
cavity thus made with sulphuric acid, or
with crude oil of petroleum. In the first
case, the acid becomes the destructive
agent in few months; in the latter. when
the stump becomes saturated with the oil.

A Single Handful Of Manure

Put into hill of corn will often make
the difference between four or five little
"nubbins," and six or eight great plump
ears that will she'll their bulk of sound
corn. A thousand handfuls count up
heavily in the autumn corn crib. How
many haudfuls of manure are daily lost
in your stock-yard that might be saved in
nice order by little care in heaping up
and covering from washing rain :? These
hanGfuls of manure are more valuable to
the cultivator than the separate grains of
gold that the miner, with careful toll.
gathers and washes from the earth and
sand bank. He hunts, gathers, and saves
them all, and thus accumulates his "pile."
Philosophical, successful cultivators eau
see the glitter of gold even in the manure
heap they only wait little longer than
the miner for the pure gold to be washed
out by the growing process, instead Of in
the wash pan. ga word to the wise ls

Destruction Of a Balloon.

The French eronaut, NJ. Eugene God
ard, has been making ascents in his enor-
nous ballon, LIE Colosse, and taking pas
sengers on tour aloft at the rate of three
hundred francs head On lis return to
earth at the end of his second trip, he met
with strange mishap. At about six
miles from Florence the volume of gas
was diminished; the grapnels were thrown
out, and the party alighted in the midst
of q crowd of Gaping rustics. many of
whom had pipes in their mouths. NJ.
GODDARD, having to let out the gas remain
ing in the balloon, politely begged the
smokers to retire ; but (says correspon-
dent) he might as we'll have spoken to
the cabbage growing around. All the
louis passed forward, putting away and
lighting lucifers on their sleeves. The
consequences may be imagined; in the
twinkle of an eye the air was sheet of
flame, and though nobody was hurt, the
balloon, valued at 5000 francs, was re-
duced to finder Then followed a disrep-
utabe scene Of violence and ey tort;oa.
One insisted upon compensation for the
fright, another for his pig. whose tail had
got singed by the fire, another for the
pestilential effect Of the gas upon his cab
bages, and so on. AS these demands
were enforced by decided threats accom-
panied by some significant cudgel-play,
the mriel travellers were compelled to salts
fy all demands.
