Almost any day during the Centennial, knot OF
physicians might have been seen gathered around
the elegant glass case standing in the Main build
ing in which Benson's Capcine Porous Plaster
was exhibited. discussing its merits andsuperior-
ity over other porous plasters, and the listener
might have heard words of warm praise fall from
their lips as they spoke of the revolution it would
likely effect in remedies for diseases treated ex-
ternally, such as rheumatism, lame and weak
go, sprains and bruises and all aches and pains of
a local nature. With these opinions the Centen-
NAL jurors who were also learned physicians, were
in perfect accord and awarded the manufacturers

Milking should be done regularly, as near
kpossibc at the same hours every morn
ing and cvning. 1t should be done quietly
and kindly and thoroughly. II the COW is
treated harshly she becomes nervous, and
will not let down her milk freely and thus
the best Rertipp of 1t Ss lost, as the richest
milk is the last, or what is called the 'strip-
pings" For the same reason the work
should be thoroughly performed, for good
COW may be changed into poor one if she
is not MIXED closely. In large herd it
will pay for the owner to so after the milk

DAMAGE TO Wharf.-The early sown
wheat in many parts of the Peninsula, our
exchanges say, is suffering terrible ravages
from the Hessian Fly. The warm weather
has been so favorable to them that many
fields sown as late as usual with the view of
escaping this pest, have been attacked, and
the destruction has continued almost up to
the present time. Some fields in Sussex
have been almost destroyed, and in Kent,

Clayton, who, for several years, has been
the largest grain operator on the Peninsula,

last, upward of one hundred and thirty
seven thousand (l37,OOO) bushels of grain.
The volume of business transacted by him.
and the large quantities of grain he controls,
enables him to sell directly to export
merchants, IAN advantage small dealers
cannot avail themselves of thus avoiding
all domestic commission charges, viz: one
cent per bushel commission and one per

margins, constitute nice little profit. For
