Court advised him, though, to buy a
large bandana handkerchief SO as to be
able to draw large share of attention
the next time he INDUCED in such in

he shall instruct all other departments

Thus Congress is to divest itself of a
most important and delicate part of the
power "to regulate commerce" vested in
it by the Constitution, and to bestow it
upon three military medical men, hold
ing office for life, unless disqualified by
court-martial, and whose rules and pro-
cedures are not even to be submitted to
Congress, but simply to their superior
officer, the President.
Nor is Congress to have, over this

And the whole force of the Executive
Department is to aid and sustain them,

Medical men, not necessarily, nor
probably, conversant with the procedures
and needs of Commerce, are to be vested
with absolute control over vessels, mer-

that he sold 1t to Carrow, the father of

AND DAILY FOR 1873.

The Weekly Sun has now attained a circulation of over seventy thou sand copies. Its readers are found in every State and Territory, and its quality is well known to the public. We shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old standard, but to improve and add to its variety and power.
 The Weekly Sun will continue to be thorough newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instructive manner.
 It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best family newspaper in the world. It will be full of enter taining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scrupulous and deli cate taste. It will always contain the most interesting stories and TO- mances of the day carefully selected and legibly printed.
 The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles will always be fresh and useful to the farmer.
 The number of men dependent on politics is increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper especial ly. It belongs to no party, and Obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and for the election of the best men. It exposes the cor | cuptiOn that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of re- publican institutions. It has no fear of knaves and seeks no favors from their supporters.
 The markets of every kind and the fashions are regularly reported in its columns
 The price of the Weekly Sun is one dollar year for sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays the expenses of pa per and printing, we are not able tC make any discount or allow any premium to friends who may make special efforts to extend its circula. tion. Under the new law, which requires payment of postage in ad vance, one dollar year, with twen ty cents the cost of prepaid postag, added, is the rate of subscription It is not necessary to get up clul in order to have the Weekly sun a this rate. Anyone who sends on, dollar and twenty cents will get tn, paper postpaid, for year.

Fruit Raising.

Some Pomologist has said that the price of an orchard, like the price of liberty, is external vigi- lance," and it is just about the truth. The peach -borer attacks nearly every young tree before its second year, and unless distroy- cd will always injure and retard the growth, and frequently kill the tree outright. By close ex- animation they can be found and distroyed, as they always infest the tree near the ground or just below the surface, around the part usually called the collar. When the jelly like gum is seen exuding you may be sure the worm is there, (unless the tree has been wounded which produc- es the same result). As the worm lives between the bark and the wood it is commonly easily found.
 But the apple tree borer is a pest very hard to discover and difficult to cXterminate. Like most other little vandals of his sort his progenitor is a winged insect which deposits the egg or the bark where it is matched, and after going through to the woot he continues feeding in his cir eumscribed pasture until he get. strength to make his way to tn, pith of the tree, which he does a.

Pa astures and SOiling.

It is very important that horses and cattle should have a supply of green food. and there are two methods of furnishing that sup ply.
 First, by a good pasture; sec ond by sowing wheat, rye, oats or barley to be cut as it is needed.
 A moments reflection will con vince any one of the great saving, or economy, in good pasture over the practice of turning your stock out on the range" which means all the world and the rest of the universe.

Now, if he only had even a small pasture well set in grass, or, just a garden spot, sowed in barley, he would be spared this labor and vexation of spirit. It is devoutly to be hoped that our grangcrs may cease to be rangers and make for themselves good pastures, and al so SOW small patches Tn small grain and millet or grass for "soiling" as it is called, where the feed is cut with the scythe instead of allowing the animal to run over the ground and crop for him. self. To make a durable pasture, moist land is best, but almost any kind is better than none.
 Distroy all the bushes and weeds and you will have pas ture without other labor, but a much better one if you set your wet land in herds grass and your dry land in bermuda. It is real ly surprising to see what an amount of grain can be grown to . the acre. If any granger wishes to see for himself what soiling is let him call on bro.
