AN INGENIOUS TRICK.-Dr.
Franklin had a peculiar and hap
Ply way of doing much good. The
following letter from him is one
of the numerous proofs that
might be adduced 81 send you
herewith a bill of ten louis d'Ors.
1 do not pretend to give such a
sum- only lend it to you.
When you return to your country
you cannot fail of getting into
some business that will, in time,
enable you to pay ali your debts.
In that case when you meet with
another honest man in similar
distress, you may pay me, by
lending this sum to him, enjoin-
ing him to discharge the debt by
a like operation, when he shall
be able, and shall meet with such
another opportunity hope it
may thus go through many hands
before it meets with a knave to
stop its progress. This is a trick
of mine for doing a deal Of good
with a little money. I am not
rich enough to afford much in
good works, so am obliged to be
cunning, and make the most of a
little" Others might take up
DR.. Franklin's trick these panic
stricken times, and so do a great
deal of good with very little
means.

see the happy couple. After some
delay, fine and buoyant couple
came marching UP the aisle to

SEE TO THE COLTS.

Spring is the most trying season on colts.
They need extra care and feed. Farmers
are generally busy putting in their crops,
and they neglect them. The weather is
becoming warm, and it is thought that the
same care is not needed. This is mis-
take. A change from cold to warm
weather relsxes the system, and young
stock rapidly decline and become lousy. If
they become poor, you may be sure they
are afflicted with lice. These can be de-
stroyed by greasing the animal or 8 decoc-
ton Of tobacco leaves or stems may be used
on them, and thus they may be rid of lice.
The teething of colts at this season is bad,
as they are developing new teeth aud their
gums are swollen and and inhamed. They
should have soft and nutritious food, and
q change afforded to whet their appetite.
1t Is pity for colts to lose the flesh they
have acquired whena little extra care and
feed would prevent any loss. When a
good colt has been bred it should be raised
properly, and kindness, care and skill are
required to do this.

sCAB I'm SHEEP.

Mr.. Henry Woods, steward and chief
manager ofthe late Lord Walsingham, own
or of one of the largest and choicest South
down hocks in England, recommends for
twenty sheep suffering with the scab, soft
soap one and q quarter pounds, shag tobac-
co, one pound, spirits Of turpentine, one
pint, spirits of tar, one-half pint, white ar
Benic, three ounces. This, to be safe and
efectual, must be boiled SO as thoroughly
to dissolve the arsenic, and that he regards
IS an important point. Better put the to-
bacco when boiled into flannel bag, and
squeeze it sufficiently to get out all the
strength in order to get the full benefit of
1t. Then add water enough to make four
quarts of the wash for each sheep. 1t is
not dip, but wash, and to put it on, an
old teapot or spouted tin should be used.
Tobacco growers can use the stems in
place Of the leaves for all medicinal purpo-
ses as applied to sheep or other stock. We
do not regard he arsenic in the above pre-
scription as important, and should omit it.

SALT FOR PEAR TREES.

Sailing round pear trees, to prevent the
blight, is becoming a general practice in
Central New York. From 400 TO 600
pounds to the acre are regularly applied
each year, with satisfactory results. A cor
respondent of the Small Fruit Recorder
writes as follows on this subject: "Last
spring put small shovseful of the refuse
material from the salt Works-which is COM
passed, l believe, of salt, lime ami ash
around forty. year-old pear tree. 1t has
made very thrifty growth, and the leaves
are all free from blight or spot, and have q
very glossy, healthy look; while others of
the Same lot, msDured with b2rnyard ma
nure, have grown but little, and the foliage
Is spotted and dull. Now, if no i'll effect
may be attributed to the bsrnyard manure,
Il would seem that the difference in these
trees was owing TO the salt"

GROWING POTATOES.

Irish potatoes, if not already planted,
should be put in at once. Choose, If pos
sible, good black, moist, but not wet soil,
and manure Hberally-aVoidiHg, however,
too much crude stable manure, If you de-
sire tubers Of the best quality. Wood ash
es, chip manure, rotten saw-dust, and the
scrapings Of the house yard, are excellent
for this crop. An Illinois correspondent Of
the Rural World writes as follows:
believing that one good turn deserves
another, having been benefited by others
experience In your paper, l thought TO give
mine in regard to raising Irish pota toes.
Early last spring plowed a piece of ground,
two rods wide by nineteen long. Har-
rowed 1t fine; then took tWo-horse plow
and ridged it up something like sweet pota-
TO ridges, only fatter on top; took hand
stake, sharpened at one end, and made
holes by thrusting the stake down into
the ridge; the holes were made about
eighteen inches apart on alternate sides of
the ridge. A boy followed and dropped
seed in each hole; then We took a mixture
of Stacked lime and leached ashes, equal
parts, and put handful in each hill; covered
lightly with earth. They soon started to
grow, and as the plants began to appear
above ground, we covered them with straw
about one foot deep. That was all the
work they got, except going through them
every morning for two weeks and killing the
bugs. The weeds never got through the
straw during the summer.

the 18th of June-used all we wanted of
them "a family of six persons) until the LIST
of November. Wetook up what remained

and dry potatoes as could be desired. They
were of the Early Rose varity. The ground

cultivation for ten years.
''Was it the lime and ashes, or the man

used, that gave such results? There was
not less than at the rate OF 800 bushels Per

HoU SEES on streets running nearly north
and south are far preferable to those located
on those going east and west in sanitary
estimate. In the first, here at the north of
the Equator, the sun shines brilliantly in
the forenoon at the front, and with nearly
equal force in the afternoon on the rear,
Thus dampness is expelled and the whole
edifice is dry, and the air far purer for its
solar exposure. If house is on an east
and west street, those fronting north are
decidedly the best for a residence, because

regions of neglected accommodations, purifies
and modifies the humid atmosphere tha5 is

Opening on the street, the frame of each gets

AParaSraph for Dxsnentics.

If you have a weak stomach, and wish to make
it weaker, take violent purgations. Thele is no

you are dyspeptic, and, like sensible person de-

ter's Stomach Bitters before every meal, until
your delinquent stomach is restored to healthy

the liver and an unnatural state of the bowels,
and that No medicine which does not reach and

The Wheat SuunIv.

The spring wheat crop of Minnesota,
Iowa and Wisconsin for the year 1871 foo,s
up 4S,852,000 bushels. The crop of last
year in the same three States foots up 3d.
367, 900 bushels, an increase in the spring
wheat crop of the Northwest of 9,515,000
bushels. By carefully computed estimates
it is ascertsined that England Is now as
fully supplied with breadstuffs as she ever
was at this season of the year, and that the
prospect of a speedy demand from, or even
a strong and active market in, that quarter
is not entertained by the large grain ope-
rators of Montreal and New York city.
Odessa is pushing wheat into the English
market rapidly, fifteen steamers freighted
with that article departing from Feb. IL to
Feb. 81. On the oath of February navigs-
lion of the Danube was resumed, and
feet Of grain vessels were duly dispatched
England. Australia reports 100000
bushels of surplus wheat to spare, which
she is shipping to England, and it is said to
be a very fine article too. .

such loss. At this pathetic moment a
