TOURS. Sept a. VIA LONDON, Sept. az, 1870.
Information which has just been received here
both from Paris and Berlin destroys almost abso-
lutely the latest hope Of peace arrangement be-
tween France and Prussia.
M. Jules Favre expressed his willingness to ac-
cede to project, and the plan very satisfactory
to the people OF Prussia, which provided for the
election Of members to the new Parliamentary As
sembly Of France on full and complete representa-
tive basis thus obtaining the national will well
as the expression Of the accredited government Of
France as to the provisions Of peace treaty.
The King Of Prussia ana the counsellors gave
positive, absolute refusal to the proposition Of N.
Favre. They refused TO grant the necessary armis-
tce, and declared that they would treat an uncon-
dit'onal peace only; retaining ar the same time pcs
session Of the territory which they hold in France
until the measure was completely ratified In all its
provisions BY the Constituent Assembly In Paris.
N. Jules Favre informs his associates In the
French government that, although the exact ques-
ton OF the terms Of peace have not yet been reached
the cession Of Alsace Will certainly be held as an
ultimatum by Prussia.
n Favre says that he has very little hope that any
really useful result win accrue from his mission.

Planting and Care CT Trees.

+. X. Phoenix, Of Bloomington Nurseries,
Bloomington, Mclean & Co., Illinois, gives
the following instructions for planting
trees:
Most planters are SO careless, Friends,
if you want trees to thrive, plant early, in
dry, deeply plowed ground. Keep roots
from sun, air and frost, burying in the
ground again as soon as possible If shriv-
eled, bury tops and all in moist ground for
ten days. Thin out and shorten in tops
before planting, to balance the loss of roots
in digging. Dig large holes, 3 feet across
and deep, or better still, plow out very
deep furrrow, filling up with best soil, so
that trees shall stand only as deep as in
Nursery. Straighten out all roots in nat
ural order, fill in with best fine, moist earth,
and then tread down thoroughly watering
well, if dry, before filling up. Then MULCH
that is cover the earth, 2 feet each way
from stems with coarse manure or straw,
inches deep. Always put corn or some
hoed crop, NEVER grass or grain, among
young trees. All trees and plants in grassy
yards, and dwarf trees also must have spe-
cial care. Wash bodies of apple trees i'll
spring with strong soap suds. Kill off the
caterpilars and eafrollers. Let fruit trees
head low-3 or feet of and Evergreens
from, the ground.

Some time since | concluded to write to

Believing it to be a blood disease, from my
observation of it, which has been consider
able, and very similar to diphtheria in the
human species, have treated it very sue
ccssfnlly in a similar manner to my treat
ment of diphtheria in mankind.
Chiorate Of Potash is the great remedy.
1t contains a great deal of oxygen, and at
once improves the Impoverished condition
of the blood | give it with turpentine
rendered soluble by rubbing up with gum
arabic, and then adding water, and giving
it to the hogs with bran. None of the
above medicines are poisonous, therefore
can be given without being very particular
as to quantity; hence | have not given my
formula. Where the mucous membranes
have been involved in any disease, turpen-
tine has been used advantageously, but the
great remedy in hog cholera, on which
rely with implicit confidence, is cholerate of
potash. | cured a lot of about one hundred
hogs of my own raising by the use of this
remedy, and prevented the disease from
spreading on my farm.
