from the prescriptions. Note, IL you
please, that poor Mr.. Burns gave way I'M
der the combined attacks of mental strain,
want of rest, excessive railway travel
ing, and cold. The symptoms were loss
of appetite, difficulty In breathing,
feyerishness, etc. The spirits first Of
all ordered him o bath, but not, If you
please, an ordinary arrangement. The
bath was to be as hot as could BE- borne, as
copious as the vessel would permit add TO
contain the following ingredients EBAY
salt, alum pulverized, green tea, o strong
infusion Of ; camphor gum" Then the
spirits ordered an embrocation which, was
made of coil of almonds, olive oil, spirits
of wine, essence of thyme, essence OF gin
ger, essence of myrrh, small quantity
Not content with one embrocation, the
spiritualistic doctor ordered another to be
prepared for Mr.. Burns throat. This mess
included the essence of verbena, spirits of
wine, and oil of cabbage Presently, after
the feet had been placed in a grossly ma
teriahstic mixture of hot mustard and wa
ter, the head was drenched with a combi-
nation Of eau dc Cologne, olive oil,
and hot water. They poulticed his
throat with cinnamon, ginger, mace, white
pepper, cloves, mustard. and olive oil (;
they made him another cmbrocation of a
highly scented character, and a "tone"
rather more odorous, according to the
description, than the embrocation ; they
then galvanized him and gave him to drink
of a beverage composed of oranges, grapes,
apples, prunes, lemons, almonds (sweet
and bitter, and tamarinds, and finally they
sent him to Devonshire to finish the cure
on fish, milk and eggs, and pure air. The
restorative is unique, and one of the prin.

The increase of revenue bill, with what
Senator Sherman calls the 'taking title
of a bill "to further protect the sinking
fund nd provide for the exigences of the
government" has been defeated in the SEN
ate by being amended to death. The rea-
sons given by senators for their opposition
were rs multiform as they were ridiculous.
Thus, one senator opposed the tax on whis-
ky and tobacco because one part of his
constituents distilled the former and an
other portion raised the latter while
Stevenson, of Kentucky, evinced a new
born fondness tor the freedmen, hy voting
against the tobacco tax because ii was a
s.tax on colored labor" But the bill is
lost and the government IS deprived of
much needed revenue. With it undoubt-
eddy go all appropriations for rivers and
harbors, some six millions of dollars in
amount, as Secretary Bristow says this
work can be suspended with but little in
jury to the public interests. So six mil
lions of dollars will be saved anyway The
secretary has announced his determination
to use the revenue, first to pay the interest
on the public debt, then to meet the re-
qurements of the sinking fund, and, final

ing needs of the government in its ordi-
nary expenses. 1t may, after all, prove
that the secretary has been needlessly
alarmed and that the large receipts tor Gus
tom duties. in February, is but the fore
runner of better times for the treasury
Let us hope 80 but however 1t may hap
pen, the secretary's hands are free from
blame, and the manner in which he pro
poses to use the revenue is wise, prudcn
and just.
Since writing the above the tax bill hal
passed the senate, and only awaits th'
presidents signature to become law
Henceforth the secretary of the treasur,
will have plain sailing.

Is it obstinacy, pride Of opinion, economy
or craftsmanship The senate and house
cant agree as to the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill, because the
house wish to pay thirteen hundred dollars
more to its clerks than the senate thinks
they earn. 1t is true that the senate pays
its clerks more and gets less work out of
them, but then they don't consider that it
is any of the houses business Some four
or five committees of conference have been
appointed, but each house sticks to its
original vote and, at last reports, there was
no prospects of an agreement. All of the
remaining items of the bill have been
passed in concurrence, but thirteen hun

GOLD.

The premium on gold, as we generally
term it, is gradually but surely tending up
ward. During the past four months it has
increased from small fraction over ten
per cent to nearly fifteen per cent, and it
has not reached eliminating point yet.
We talk of the premium on gold as if its
standard of value ever varied yet, while
the language is strictly incorrect, it ex-
pressed with sufficient accuracy the general
meaning. 1t matters not, so long as the
relative value of gold and currency is con-
stantly changing, whether we say that
gold is advancing, or express the real fact
that the currency Is depreciating. Gold
being fixed and unalterable standard of
value, 1t cannot vary in price, although it
may, from day to day, apparently advance
and have constantly increasing purchas-
Ing power over the same nominal amount
of currency. If, therefore, hundred dol
lars in gold possesses the same purchasing
power as two hundred dollars in currency,
1t makes no difference whether we say that
currency has deprecated by SO much we
all know what is meant, and we all feel
the effects. The depreciation in currency,
of course, keeps pace with The nominal
premium on gold, and it is easier, perhaps,
more readily understood to say that gold
has advanced rather than that currency has
deprecated, and so we use the former in
stead of the latter expression. This adj
vance, then, of some four and one-half per
cent, in four months, has actually depreci-
ated our currency, legal tender i.otes and
national bank bills, some thirty. six millions
of dollars-or, in other words. the so call
ed money of the country possesses thirty
six millions of dollars less purchasing pow
or than 1t did four months ago. This dc.
etruction OF values, this loss which amounts
to nearly one dollar for every man, woman
and child of the population, comes too at a
time when the country can the most lily
afford to bear it. 1t comes when the large
issue of paper money, necessitated by the
rebellion, has worked out its natural result.
1t comes after prices having been increas-
cd, the laborer having been deluded with
the idea that he was getting high wages,
and after fictitious prosperity which al
ways follows initiation of business ant

Wet Food for Horses.


At this season of the year farm horses
are obliged TO work very hard, and II Is
not only right and just, but for the pecu-
MARY interest of their owners, TO see that
they are well fed. And it seems TO me
that they ought not only to have good
food and plenty of 1t, but also that II
should be given to them wet. i believe
great many horses are permanently in
jured by being kept in the summer when
they work upon dry hay and meal. just
schdt injury will result from this course Of
feeding cannot certainly be foretold.
Whether ii will take the form of derange-
ments Of the digestive organs or affections
of the throat and lungs will depend some
what upon the natural tendencies of the
animals, and the quality and condition of
the food which they receive. But injury
of some kind will be very likely to result.
1t is but little trouble TO wet the food, and
| am confident that II is better and safer
than ii is TO feed it dry. Foka horse that
is at work most of the timef think "cut
feed" is the best which can be given But
if the hay Is not cut it pays TO throw on a
little water. Feeding dry meal has been
highly recommended, and have tried 1t
faithfully, but am not satisfied with the
result; had rather put the meal in pail
and mix it with water Lire Stock Journal.

Management Of Strawberry Plants,

A writer in the Small Fruit instructor
recommends picking off the blossom stems
from strawberry plants the first year they
are set--that is, plants set the past spring
should not be allowed to yield any fruit
this season, but blossom stems picked OIL.
Plants set in the spring require all the
strength of the root to make stocky
growth and become well established in or
der TO form fruit-germs abundantly the en-
suing fall for the next years crop. We
have satisfactory proof of this before us
in a plantation set the past spring in a field
near our house. If fruitstcns are not
picked from these the first year they yield
a small crop, which nearly exhausts the
Young plants. Such plants will require
weeks after the bearing season TO regain
the heathiness and luxuriance they showed
showed Just before bearing the fruit, and
in many cases they will be so exhausted
by Welding the fruit that they will die out
or remain stunted the rest Of the season,
and be easily winter killed. We say,
then, keep off the fruit stems the season
they are set out, and keep the soil well
cultivated. BY fall the plants will be lux
uriant and healthy, and prepared TO WITH
stand the cold Of winter
Many persons who cultivate strawbcr.

+. 7. Y, RACINE, Wis, asks: What is
the proper course of rotation for farm
crops. And how is the rotation to bekept
up when bad seasons intervene TO break In
to the plan laid DOWN.
The rotation must be adapted to the soil
and climate. In Central Illinois. for in
stance, corn is the staple crop; and this Is,
or should be, fed to cattle and hogs. Now,
II proper proportion of the farm is in
grass, to produce pasturage and hay il
The manure made is carted back to the
fields, and the corn-stalks plowed in, the ro-
fation Is simple matter-simply corn and
grass with but small proportion Of small
grain; and in this way, if the soil be moi
plowed or cultivated when wet, its fertility
may be kept pretty well intact.
In Wisconsin, wheat, oats and barley
constitute an important part OF the rota-
ton; and potatoes and other root-crops
take the place, in some measure, of the
corn. Grass, however, is everywhere the
prime renoyator of soils. Thus, wheat
may be sown ON clover or timothy sod
corn and roots may follow; then oats and
barley.
A portion OF the farm may be broken
and a portion reseeaed each year. And the
more grass raised and the more stock kept

When to Harvest Crops.

Just when to harvest crops In order 10
get the most profit from them Is ques-
ton of considerable importance to every
man who is engaged in their production
IL there be difference in the value of a
crop of grain or grass resulting from the
stage of growth or condition of ripeness at
the time il is harvested il is of advantage
to every producer TO understand the diff
ference and the cause of the difference.
As il is question to be determined by
experiment entirely, tits worth the attention
of farmers to inquire what has been the
result of such trials as have been made to
determine this question. In an expert
ment made for the express purpose oil
throwing light upon this subject three
plats Of wheat of equal extent, cut at diff
lerent stages of ripeness, yielded of grain
as follows:
Cut twenty days before it was ripe, 1866
pounds; cut ten days before il was ripe,
220 pounds; cut when fully ripe, 209
pounds
From this it will be seen thai that which
was cut ten days before complete ripe
ness gave eleven pounds, or per cent,
more grain than the equal plat cut at full
maturity Allowing field to yield at the
rate of twenty bushels of grain per acre,
this would be equivalent to a saving OF
one bushel per acre in the simple act of
cutting ten days earlier. But not only is
the yield of grain increased by this early
harvesting the percentage of flour, bran,
etc, is also affected by the difference in
time of harvesting. The following ex-
hibits the difference in flour, bran and
waste from equal quantities OF wheat cut
at different times:
Twenty DAYS before ripe, -four, AL |;
