HE Prairie Ftrnler says good way to
head oil the apple-tree borers is, to bring
thick soft soap to the boiling point to render
liquid, and while the soap is hot, with a
paint or whitewash brush apply it to the
trunks OF the trees, from the ground up as
high as attacks of borers are to be appre-
hended One application made about the
first OF June, each year, will sufficiently
protect the trees.

Is, to dig away the grass and weeds from

PLASTER AND It's Uses. Plaster in the
different branches Of science is known by
different names. In the arts it is plaster; in
mineralogy it is gypsum IN chemistry 1t is
sulphate of lime. Sulphuric acid has an
affinity for ammonia, and when it finds am
monia it breaks up its partnership with the
lime and combines with the ammonia, form
ing sulphate of ammonia, and this is nom
volatile. The lime finds companion when
deserted by the acid in carbonic acid, form
ing carbonate of lime. Hence it will be seen
that when the farmer his ammonia in the
soil, put there by himself in manure, or in
any other manner, liable TO waste, the plas
ter will fix it there, and in all such cases it
can be applied to the ground with profit.
The odor about stables and manure heaps is
escaping ammonia and the farmer can iu-
diciously use little plaster in both places,
saving the ammonia for his land

WHEN SHOULD Pres BE WEANED p
Eight weeks old is the best age. Seven will
do. They should become accustomed to
food such as is ordinarily given to hogs be-
fore weaving, and then there will be no need
of any loss in growth by the loss of the moth
er's milks If they are at all inclined to
scour, one of the best preycntives is an oc-
casional days feed of whole corn, or few
kernels with their other food each day
They should have all they will eat, and even
if the farmer is under the necessity of buy
ing corn to keep them along till his own har-
vest is ready in the fall, the growth will gen.
orally pay at least fifty per cent. over the
cost. Remember this

BAzA1NE's POSITION. -Marshal Ba-
zaine, it is said on good authority, re-
fases to recognize the Republic. If this
report be true che situation insFrsnce,
and as between France and Prussia, has
become-more complicated than ever. II
Bazaine maintains shis ground, King
William may not find it 30 difficult after
all to trent with Napoleon. Suppose
that Bazaine surrenders with consent Of
Napoleon, and suppose, besides, that
King William gives Napoleon q safe con-
duct to Metz, would it be difficult for
the King of Prussia to restore Napoleon?
Bazaine has, at least, 100000 men on
whom he can rely. If Napoleon from
Metz were to mako an appeal to the
French peeple--France, meanwhile,
seeing in the Republic nothing but dis
order, and feeling that Napoleon was
backed up by the whole strength of
Prussia-is it impossible that the
peasants, who are Bonapartists almost
to man, would vote for tho restoration
from the interior of France reveals the
fact, that the peasants are not republi-
can. We regret the fact, while wo are
compelled to confess it.
This is one of the difficulties suggested
by Baznine's position. But it is not the
only ono. If Bazaine stands by the
Emperor, France is not only at war with
Germany, but at war with herself. It is
an empire divided; and the attitude of
the defender of Metz compels us to look
at the possibilities of civil war of the
most alarming kind. The legions of
France have never been so turned against
each other rs were the legions of Rome
in the last days of the Republic, and as
was the fashion under the empire. If
Bazaino stands by Napoleon, no one can
tell what may happen.

HE REPUBLICANS IN POWER. Since
the Republican party came into power,
ten years ago, the various State expendi-
lures have been quadrupled, and venality
and corruption have made our legisla-
tive halls an offence to civilization; the
Federal Congress has been controlled by
tariff and bond-holding rings to the
threatened ruin of the country; under
pretense of raising revenue for the
Government, most outrageous tariff
system has been built up; the expendi-
lures of the Government have been most
wasteful and extravagant, and the hard
earned substance of the people has been
wrung from them to enrich Office seekers
the public domain has been sQuandered
shamelessly for the benefit of organized
bands of greedy speculators; high pub.
lie officials have emerged as if by magic
from poverty to wealth, and the Presi-
Dental chair, once filed by Washington,
Jefferson and jackson, has been con
verted into an Office brokerage; the Su-
preme Court has been packed to procure
certain decision; and every effort, no
matter how disgraoeful, has been made
to retain the hold on power.
Such is the record of nine yearsi of
power welded by this sectional party.
1t is time there was a change. The
people are acting on this principle.
Let us carry the House of Representa-
tives this year, and the Senate and Pre-
sident will come in due time.

cutting off his head and shockingly mu-
tilating his body. The following letter
was found in his clothing:

WHICH FURNISHES THE ExPoRTs.-A
correspondent of the New York Jourma
Of Commerce asks: "What portion of the
products of the United States are oi
Southern production? The Journal O,
Commerce replies:
'"This is not q very profitable inquiry
If intended to foster sectional feeling,
but if designed in good faith. it might
lead TO comparisons cse!@! to al! sections
We may answer, without going into de-
tails, that for the twelve months ending
with June, 1870, the domestic exports
were valued in mixed currency at about
$500, 900, 600, of which little over one
half were new products from the South
ern States. The value of the exports of
cotton alone was little over 1927, ,OOO,-
600. The official figures of the total ex-
ports for the year were $499, O73, 9S2, but
the account at last advices was subject to
further correction"
Here is candid acknowledgment that
70 little ove'' AaJ the exports" were the
products of the Southern States. That
is, little over half, or moro than $780,
100000 OF the agricultural product DDS
of the South were contributed by South
ern labor, of which the cotton bill fur
nishes 227. 900, 600. Who reaps the ben
eft? Not the Southern planter-not the
man and brother-the loyal African.

grow rich under q protective tariff sys-
tenn almost prohibiting. The labor of
the West and South pays the debt and
sustains the credit of "the National Co.
