Rust In Wheat,

Rust is Il fungus that is propagated by
spores that are always present in the air,
and that as soon as they find suitable
home, terminate and send forth millions
Of other spores. They are not more pre-
valcnt in the air in wet than in dry season,
but it is in the wet seasons that the most
damage is done to the winter wheat
When wheat plants are in perfectly
healthy state they ale proof against the
attacks Of rust, tlinty coating of the stem
presenting no resting place for the fungus.
But when the plants are weakened through
being grown on land that has been over
cropped, or over MANFRED, or through seed
of some worn out variety being sown,
they become ready prey to the rust. A
shower passing over the crop on warm
day will leave it in j::st such conditions
that the rust spores can attach themselves
and thrive.

Painting 4 Picture in Six Minutes

Il private letter received from an
American gentleman in Paris gives an
amusing account OF picture pa inted in
six minutes. Says the letter:
We were at the Cafe Chantant the
other nj ght. It is building somewhat
larger than the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
1t is a great place for music, songs and
dances. There was one very amusing
feature. During one of the ent7' acts
they brought on an artist who was billed
to paint marine view in six minutes all
finished tor han. ing (the picture, not the
artist.
The canvass was brought on.
Out came the artist, quiet, nervous
looking young man Of about thirty years
of age.
His colors were all en- the palette, and
his brushes were in his hand.
"Attention!' sang out the director.
The artist seized large brush.
At signal the orchestral band struck
up clashing, maddeningly nervous
waltz.
/ AS ths first note was struck the artist
dashed mass of yellow upon the upper
part of the canvas. Then bit of blue,
then, white, dash Of purple shadow, and
then, with a quick twirl Of a clean brush,
dark blue sea is dashed in against the
horizon. - ,''
Two minutes gone.
The waltz goes on faster and faster
The brush keeps time. A huge rock is
sketched in with burnt sienna and black,
A light house with vermilion range light
is dropped upon the top of the. rock.
Clash, crash, one, two, three, a boat un-
der full sail is thrown into the dim dis
lance. Clash, crash, one, two, three, and
another boat is dashed in. Light upon
the waters is thrown in with a free
steady hand. A huge brush then care
fully blends the edges of the masses, and
with profound DOW, the artist turns t.
a cheering audience, gratiied that he is
through en- time.
And the wonder is that the picture is
startling good in its broad effect. 1t i
strong and clear. The colors are good
and not muddy mixed. 1t was as GOOD
q novelty as ever saw at any show, and

Hens In the Orchard.

Speaking of keeping hens in orchards,
the Poultry acorld says: last fall we
visited an orchard in which fowls were
kept, the owner Of which told us that be-
fore the fowls were confined in it the trees
made lite or no growth, and a correspond
Mig amount OF fruit was obtained. But what
a change was evident now. The grass
was kept down., the weeds were killed,
and the trees presented an appearance of
thrift, which the most enthusiastic hor-
ticulturist could not but admire and envy.
The growth of the, trees was most vigor-
Gus and the foliage remarkably luxuriant.
The fruit was abundant, of large size,
and free from worms and other impcr-
tections. This excellence was accounted
for by the proprietor, who remarked that
the, hens ate all the worms and curculio
in their reach, even the canker. worm
He found less trouble with their roosting
in the trees than he expected, and that a
picket fence six feet high kept them
within bounds. His orchard was divided
into three sections, and the fowls were
changed from one to another, as the con-
dition Of the fowls or the orchard section
seemed to require"

and two children, they being what
the name indicates, French. La
Claire formerly lived on a farm
in the township of Alpena, and al
so worked some in town, but being
stricken down with disease, which
it will take considerable time to
eradicate, and inasmuch as he had
no means of support, and must be
provided for by the county, it was
deemed best to take the family to
the poor house, where the sufferer
could receive regular medical at
tendance and good care. The
oldest child is boy of some ten
years, who is sent to school at pre-
sent, that being better place than
staying about the house with moth
ing to do.
We saw enough about the prem

plain, wholesome and substan-

comfortable manner, and we heard
not word of complaint from any
of them.
The county poor house is sup
piled with a splendid, large out
door cellar, which is well filled with
vegetables, and at the door of the
house is q well that contains the
best water we have ever drank in
the city of Alpena, while on the
east side of the house is q cistern
which holds about 60 barrels of
water.
Taking all things together, the
county poor house is well taken
care of and by no means an I'M
comfortable home. And, after a
few years more at the printing bus
mess, if we manage to get means
to take us to that institution (pro-
viding we walk), we shall have the
the satisfaction of knowing that we
will be well provided for.

Detroit Markets.

The Detroit Free Press in its
weekly review of the Detroit mark
cts, under date of Jan. 18th, says:
The monetary situation is essen
TALLY the same as last week. The
average mercantile trade of the
city is in a condition bordering on
dullness and advices from Eastern,
Western and Southern points re-
port q similar state of affairs. Dry
goods have been ordered in small
quantities, and prices for staple ar
ticles remain unchanged. Gro
ceries have moved slowly. Sugars
have exhibited considerable firm
ness, especially yellow grades !;
values, however, are unchanged.
CoTees rule n triae easier. Teas
are firm and in low grades slight
advance is noted. Dried fruits are
dull. Currants, raisins and prunes
are easy. Drugs and chemicals
have met with a fair demand. Nor
phine is a shade weaker. Linseed
oil has advanced to Gle per gallon,
raw, and 66c per gallon boiled,
difference of sc per gallon being
now made between the two grades.
Hardware is dull, the only change
worthy of note being an advance
of l5c on nails. This was brought
about by the Nail Convention at
Pittsburgh last Wednesday. Indi-
cations point to another rise at an
early date. Manufacturers Of boots
and shoes are experiencing fair
run of business. Hats, caps and
furs are again poor stock, the re-
newal Of mild weather having de-
moralized that business.
The receipts and shipments of
flour and grain for the week under
review were as follows:
Receipts-Flour, 1851 bbls ;

Since Tuesday, January 9Th, the
first day of the week under review,
there has been a remarkable depre-
citation in wheat values, as will be
readily seen in the above table
This decline has been brought
by foreign advices, received during
the last few days, giving promise
of a cessation in Eastern hostilities.
Anticipating q large falling off in
order for foreign shipments, should
