Cure for STRENGTHENING Dogs.

Many people will assent heartily to
the principle that the best possible cure
for sheep chasing dog, is to kill him
at the earliest practicable moment; but
there may be exceptional cases. A COR
respondent Of the London Field seems
to think so at least, and relates an in
stance where, after other attempts had
failed, fine Newfoundland dog was
cured by tying him to too old Scotch
rams, and left to such amusements as he
could extract from their society. The
result was an extensive ramble over hill
and dale, hedges and bitches, and diver
sifed, Of course, by the discordant views
each ram and the dog entertained rs to
tho route for enjoying the best scenery.
When all three were very tired, they
were loosod and nothing thereafter was
so extremely offensive to that dogs taste
rs the society of sheep.

A Cute Old Woman.

A very sly old woman in Cleveland
has been making money by tricks that
arc vain. She waylays young men,
when they arc out with their lady
friends, aud demands that "dollar and
forty cents that you owe me for wash
ing" The young man is generally too
confused to make an immediate reply,
and his confusion is not lessened by the
i,fquiring looks of his fair friend, while
the old woman repeats her demand, and
in some cases obtains the plumber.

The Wheat prosDect.

AhC w ucat IoSpCCt
The 81. Louis Republican says: "Capt.
A. Phillips, superintendent OF the Keo-
kuk Northern Line packets, has just
returned from business visit up the
river 10 Keokuk, and he states that The
wheat fields are sight to be seen. Ev-
rywhere along the river, and from forty
10 fifty miles In the interior, which he
visited in his progress, the earth was
q sea of the brilliant green of the wheat
with which II was sown. Capt. Phillips
states also that II was represented that
there was large increase Of acreage in
wheat, and this sin accord with reports
from every grain growing section of the
West. The winter has been SO lenient
that the farmers even North are making
busy preparations for their oats and
corn planting, and it is believed that
with propitious weather those crops
will be largely sown. With the bless
ing ola propitious season what bread
stuff product may be looked for IA con-
summation devoutcdly to be wished.
In this increase Of acreage in wheat,
with no more than usual European de-
mand, and nothing in the political or
productive condition OF the world to
inspire hope of extraordinary demand
for breadstuifs, and consequently en-.
nance prices, the question is what has
inspired farmers TO this enthusiastic in.
tcrest in wheat raising, and when most
ly 1t is regarded as the poorest paying
crop they eau labor on, and which is
subject to moro easily damaging vicis-
STUDIES Of weather than any other crop.
II has been suggested, and with much
plausibility, that the farmers are dis
corning, or believe they discern, in the
power of the Granger movement to so
reduce the cost Of transportation that
they can find compensation even at
low markets. Nous ceiroas."
The Chattanooga Times copies the
above, and says: "Thc result Of this
universal increase in the acreage Of
wheat sown, and the general prospect
o. an unprecedented crop of wheat this
spring, is general weakening in the
price Of wheat, -four, corn, pork, &C.,
and 1t may be regarded as certain
that prices for the coming year will
be considerably below those maintain
cd this winter.
In our own section we have Tue nd
vantage of being first in the market
and if our farmers are wise they will
get their crop TO market as soon as pos
sible and sell for the current price,"

White Coal.

Australia, so remarkable for its uni

of felted vegetable hbres, like peat,
which contain, intcrsperscd between
them, fno grains OF sand. This white
coal covers large tracts, requires no
mining, and is used in larged quantities

burns with bright flame.
