Litigation over the Sprague Estate.
[Rnstom Advertiser

IDOotoH hoNSielsci'l
The great Sprague case has at last
found tribunal before which it can be
heard, Judge Potter, of the Rhode Island
Supreme Court, having qualified after
considerable efforts. He was Trustee of
some estates which included Sprague
paper, and his brother held stock in sew
eral Providence banks that were inter-
ested in the floating notes of the once
famous house. The creditors of the
Sprague estate propose now to test the
validity of Mr.. q. Chafee's title as the
Trustee of the large property, which rep
rescnts perhaps value of $40, 100000.
The entire affair is somewhat grotesque
in it's huge confusion. The nominal
owners of the estate have formerly treat
ed it as family concern, and no one
knows what proportion, if any, may be-
long to the various members OF the fami-
ly. The creditors, on the other hand,
are indignant that for years they have
received no dividends, no interest. and
no account such as they think themselves
entitled to. MIR. Chafee, the Trustee,
meanwhile, has administered the estate
to suit himself. He has paid very little
attention to the brothers Sprague, and
he apparently believes in the principle
that possession is nine points of the law.
He has once or twice been asked to re-
sign his position as Trustee, but calmly
answered that be could not very well en-
tertain such proposition. Nor has any
court thus far succeeded in making the
slightest impression upon this confusion.

AN AGRICULTURAL CREED.

According to the Canada Farmer the
agriculturists of Canada met in conven-
ton not long ago, and adopted for them
selves the following creed: "We believe
in small farms and thorough cultivation;
we believe that the soil lives to eat, as
well as the owner, and ought, therefore,
to be we'll MANFRED; VIC believe in going
to the bottom of things, and therefore
deep blowing, and enough of it, all the
better if it be subsoil plough; we be-
licve in large crops which leave the land
better than they found it, making both
the farm and the farmer rich at once !;
we believe that every farm should own a
good farmer; we believe that the fertil-
izer of any soil is spirit of industry,
enterprise and intelligence; without
these, lime, gypsum, and guano would be
of little. use: we believe in good fences,
good farm houses, good orchards, and
good children enough to gather the fruit;
we believe in a clean kitchen, neat
wife in it, clean cupboard, clean
dairy and clear conscience; we believe
that to ask a mans advice is not stoop-
ing, but of much benefit; we believe
that to keep place for everything, and
everything in its place, saves many a
step, and is pretty sure to lead to good
tools and to keeping them in order; We
believe that kindness to stock, like good
shelter, is saving of fodder; we believe
that it is good thing to keep an eye OF
experiments, and note all, good and bad
We believe that it is good rule to sci
grain when it is ready; we believe il
producing the best butter and cheese
and marketing 1t when it is ready" AL
this may certainly be commended a
"sound doctrine"

ASHES FOR APPLE TREES.

When apple or pear trees become dis
eased from being planted in unfavorable
or unprepared soil, or from lack of food,
they are very certain to be attacked by
insects which, if they were in healthy
condition. would probably be unknown.
Certain washes, such as lYe "a solution
of potash), have been applied with sue
cess in destroying these insects and re-
storing the tree to health. But for our
practice we have for the past few years
applied much simpler remedy with
more success, as it causes the old dead
bark, the chosen hiding place of the in
sects, to cleave off, leaving in its place
smooth, healthy surface. This is simply
after rain, and while the bark is yet
wet, to throw on dry. wood ashes, until
the capacity of retention is full. If rain
soon follows, the strength of the ashes is
carried into every Granny of the bark,
and the effect is working cleanliness on
the tree. If there is no rain. the ashes
will remain and work their good effect
when the rain comes. The operation of
sowing on the ashes is easily repeated
until the insects are all destroyed. To
remedy existing evils SOW on the ashes
before leaing out, after the first rain, if
possible. AS the preventive of future
depredations, SOW them on in summer
when the insects deposit their eggs
which will never hatch under the infu
ence of ashes. Two objects are gained
by this operation; the ashes, or I've they
produce, furnishes food for the trees al
we'll as destroying its enemies, and i'm
parts cleanliness to the tree. The ashe
can be scattered over the bark with les
waste when not intercepted by leaves
and placed more equally where they ar
needed.

WHY BOYS SHOULD NOT
SMOKE.

When boys are advised on the grounds
of health not to smoke, says the New
York Times, they laugh at the advice
and call its givers old fogies. But care
full experiments lately made by phys
ician of repute prove that the practice
is very injurious. He took for his pur-
pose 30 boys, who were in the habit of
smoking. and examined them closely.
In 81 of them he found hurtful effects
plainly to be seen, % having various
disorders of the circulation and digestion.
palpitation of the heart and more or
less craving for strong drink. Twelve
of these boys were frequently troubled
with bleeding at the nose, 10 had dis
turbed sleep and IL had slight ulcertion
of the mucous membrane of the mouth,
which disappeared after discrimination
of tobacco for 10 or IL days. The
physician treated them all for weakness
and nervousness. with no avail until
they had given up smoking, when health
and strength were speedily restored.
Even if it be granted that smoking is
not injurious to adults, there is no
doubt of its harmfulness to youth. DIR.
Rankin, DR.. Richardson and others who
have made special study of the subject
all agree in declaring that it causes in
them impairment in growth, and prema
ture virility and physical degradation
One of its first effects is the provocatior
of an appetite for liquor in both young
and old. When boys drink to excess
they are invariably smokers. Men whC
want to give up drinking usually have
to give up smoking at the same time
for they say cigar or pipe excites ;
desire for liquor very hard to control.

HOW THEY CHURN IN
URUGUAY.

l thought that | had seen good
many kinds of churns before l came
down Observation-Disclosures, dasher-churns
and "chemical-churns." But I will now
describe mode of churning butter that
will. think, make New-England folks
open their eyes.
Commonly they do not make much
butter in this country, and the settlers
here come to get along without it; but
by the time | had been at the ''poeta"
two or three days, began to want some
butter on my bread.
NJ had herd of twenty-five or
thirty cattle. which he kept for beef, and
among them were number of mich
COWS. Ed. was hidden to set the milk
for twenty-four hours; and the next
morning M told Lizado, or "Liz,"
as we called him, to churn.
They had done such thing as to
churn butter before, it appears. Liz
went out and brought a bag of rawhide,
about as large as common meal-bag.
How clean it was inside, | am sure | do
not know; but he turned the cream into
it and poured in new milk enough to
fill it two-thirds full, and then he tied
1T up with strong strip of hide.
NJ stood with broad grin on his
face. l was already too much astonished
to make any remarks Liz. now carried
the bag out of doors, and then got his
horse. Taking his lasso off the saddle,
he made one end of it fast to the cream
bag; the other end, as usual, being at
tached to ring in the saddle.
This done, he jumped on the horse
and tucked spurs to him. Away he
went. and at the first jerk that bag went
ten feet in the air, and fell with a
squauch, close up at the horses heels,
At the next jerk it went higher still
He soon went out Of sight. with the
bag dancing after him. Sometimes i,
hit down alongside the horse, and some.
times it struck slap on the animals
rump.
NJ was convulsed with laughter
at me, | suppose; for | must comics,
that this upset all my previous ideas Of
butter making.
In the course of twenty or thirty min
utes, Liz came back, the horse looking
pretty hot, and the bag very dusty.
