large advertising will eventually do it
more harm than good. If you have
anything which YOU know to be good,

DIR. Patterson, Superintendent
Of tho British Seamon's Hospital
Constantinoplc, gives a. account of
an experiment iii the treatment Of
cholera by the hypodermic injection
Of morphine. During the recent Sc
we're epidemic the usual remedies
had been tried by himself and col
league with very little effect, and, as
II last resort, u rnso which had been
given up as incurable, was selected
for experiment. Tho patient had
been previously suffering from inlln-
nation of the liver, was in deep col
lapse, pulseless, withrico-watorpurg-
ing, severe vomiting, and cramps.
A quarter Of u grain Of acetate Of
morphine was introduced, with n re-
suit far beyond expectation. In n
quarter OF an hour tho cramps and
vomiting ceased, tho patient fell
asleep, the skin gradually bccme
warm and moist, and tho pulse re-
turned. After two hours the mice
ton was repeated, and he agnin
sleptfor three hours. He lived three
weeks, but ultim ttely sank from ty-
phoid exhaustion, rs much produced
by his old liver complaint us from
reactionary fever. Tho Same good
results followed in almost every case
of trial. In ordinary cases II or
two injections of from one-quarter
to one-half n grain suiliced. 1t could
be administered even to very young
children in doses OF proper magnl-
tudo
After the satisfactory result OF this
experiment, the treatment OF chol-
ern patients in the hospital was con
fined almost entirely to that in quos-
ton, and out Of forty cases twenty
two recovered entirely and twenty
died. But of these, eight were per-
lectly helpless from the first, being
actually dying, n had severe liver
complaint, and one was very far adj
vanced in. consumption. OF ten
cases treated in the ordinary manner
only one recovered.

Old Bridges In China.

The most remarkable evidence OF
the mechanical skill and science Of
the Chinese at this early period, is t.
be found in their suspension bridges,
the invention Of which is assigned to
the Ham dynasty. According to the
concurrent testimony tf all their his
torical and geographical writer's, San
gleang, the commander Of the army
under Kaou-t soo, the first of the
Hans, undertook and completed the
formation OF roads through the
mountainous providence of the
Shense, to the west of the capitol.
Hitherto It's lofty hills and deep val,
loys had rendered communication
difficult and circuitous. With IL body
of 100000 laborers he cut passages
over the mountains, throwing the
removed soil in the valleys, and
where this was not sufficient to raise
tho road to tho required height, he
constructed bridges, which rested
on pillars or abutments. In Unoth-
er place lac conceived and accom-
plished tho daring project Of auspcn-
ding II bridge from one mountain to
another yer II deep chasm. The
bridges, which arc called by the
Chinese writer's, very appropriato-
ly, flying bridges, and representa- to
be numerous ut the present day,
are sometimes 50 high that they can
not be traycrsed without alarm. One
still exists in Shonsa, stretching four
hundred feet from mountain to
mountain over u chasm of over 500
feet. Most of these flying bridges
ure so wide that four horscmcn can
rido on them abreast, and balus-
trades are placed on each side to
protect travellers. 1t is by no means

Value of Fodder Corn.

The Department Of Agriculture has
just issued n statement presenting u
long line Of testimony from various
sources on the value Of fodder corn
as q supplementary feed or soilIng
crop for mich COWS in summer. We
present below the conclusions de
duced from the testimony given:
/. Green corn-fodder is neither
worthless nor the poorest Of all soil,
ing material.
2 1t is the best when planted in
drills or hills, not so thicEIy as to
prevent normal growth and Develop
ment, cultivated to destroy weeds
and grasses, and cut between %tassel-
ling and caring, when the clements
elaborated for production Of the ear
are stored in readiness for immedi-
ate use.
3. 1t is probable, both from the
]raiioHaie Of the case and from the
facts presented above, that in the
northern ATTITUDES u mistake has Of
ten been made in so@ ing thickly
southern corn which cannot mature,
the fodder from which fed in August
must be very nearly worthless. On
the contrary, the fodder from north
ern corn, especially sweet corn, drill
ed and cultivated, and fed just before
caring, is found to be very valuable.
4. Its value, compared with lu-
cerno, millct, tho best grasses, and
other plants, containing II large per-
centago Of nutriment, taking into
consideration the quantity produced
and the cost of it's production, has
not yet been determined fully, and
should be decided by n series Of
thorough and exhaustive expert
mcnts.
1t is evident, from all that is con-
hicting in the opinion Of different
feeders, that the differences IRE main
'ly due to the degree Of maturity or
soundness OF tho corn. That from
thick sowing, immature, colorloss
and watery, is unfit to place before
the COWS of any we'll regulated dairy.
1t is probable hat half that is fed is
either improperly cultivated, or in
u state of growth not productive Of
tho highest results. IL this should
be the case, how stupid to condemn
the maize for the ignorance Of the
cultivator. If it is found to contain
too little nutriment for its bulk, or
too small IN amount OF the flesh
forming element, the suggestion
found in the practice Of some, Of
giving II small amount OF more high
ly concentrated nutriment in connec-
ton with corn fodder, is eminontly
wise. This il II deficiency easily
rcmodiod. While corn is our ma
tional crop, less fastidious in the cir
cumstances Of its growth than al
most any other, and capable of yield
ing so largely under the p%roverbial
neglect which characteriz3s our cul-
ture, lot not this fodder be discarded
until something Of greater practical
value is found, the superiority Of
which has actually demonstrated I'M
der local circumstances Of soil, eli.
mate and cultivation.

Pruning and Culture of Orchards.

1t is well known that early spring
and summer pruning have each their
special advantages, spring pruning
ftvoring vigorous growth, while the
wounds heal better in summer, but
pruning in summer tonds to check
growth. We have heretofore describ
ed tho practice Of some, who cut off
such branches as they wish to spare
only in spring, leaving II few inches
Of stump, which is again cut off at
it's base in early summer-thus com
bining the advantages Of both sen
sons, We fluid this practice alluded
to III the Boston Cultiyator of June
Is, from which We copy the follow
ing
On Monday we improved the OPP
%portunity Of visiting Capt. George
Pierce's orchard in Arlington, ON"
we have several times visited. Last
week and the present are deemed
the best time by Capt. Pierce, as we
nave lcforo stated, and now repeat
it for the benefit Of both old and new
subscribers Interested in apple cul-
lure, AS before stated, Capt, Pierce
removes the principal wood from the
trees when he has the most leisure
for it, taking care to saw off the
limbs some 7 or 8 inches from whoro
they are finally to be sawed off, be-
tween the first and the middle Of
June. Last week he was employed
i'll saving off remaining stumps. AS
a part Of this was done last week, n
man was gathering these stumps ON
MONDAY and removing them from
tho grounds. Capt. Picrco's reason
for this time, is that the places where
limbs are cut off neal over better
than at any other season Of the yoa",
as he has learned both by careful OK
pcriGnce and from observation.
AS we hNvo before stated, Capt.
Pierce tills his orchard ground, grow
ing potatoes, tomatoes, squashcs,
Sc, thus keeping the ground free
from grass and weeds. lie would
rs soon think Of growing corn or po-
tatoes among grass as apple trees;
and the best proof OF his practice is
the condition Of his apple orchard,
whose trees arc the best and most
perfect specimens of what apple
trees should be that VIC have ever
seen from the Atlantic coast to the
west Of Mississippi, and from Cana
dN to Virginia. Hence we have call
edCdpt. Piorco the Kingoi Orchard
lists, not only Of the Old Bay State,
but of tho United States. iIo CON
tinues to mulch with marsh, hay or
straw before the fruit begins to full.
We never saw II better set for an APP
plocrop than Capt. Picrce'strecs now
show. He has ono young Baldwin
tree that has produced II barrels in
IL season, aud this year it bids fair
greatly to exceed that. We would
challenge any rural artists to draw
md pant u more perfect apple tree
in beauty Of form than this Baldwin.
Tho same may bo said of tho sym
met,ical form Of most Of the trees
that make Capt. Picrco'B orchard.

An Employer Who Won't be Dicta'
ted To.

Mr.. Frederick Krupp, of Essen, in
Rhrenish Prussia, the greatest manu-
facturer of steel perhaps in the world,
has published a characteristic letter
to his employees. He warns them
against strikes; says he will pay wa
ges in proportion to his profits; that
he will always in the future, as IN
the past, raise wages when he thinks
he can afford to do so; but that he
refuses to be dictated to. The Krupp
works employed in 1871, $50 work
men, and turned out $4,000 metri-
cal IONS of cast steeLjot the form Of
axles, tires, shafts. rolls, boiler
plates, springs, artillery, and pro
jectiles, and employ 255 engines,
representing an aggregate of SOL
horsepower.
