dishonest man writes:

NEW PUBLICATIONS

From the ]. Dewing Company, San
Francisco, sole agents for the Pacific coast,
we have advance numbers of the Personal
Memoirs of General P. H. Sheridan"
There are two volumes, and their genuine
ness is sufficiently established by the char
acter of the agency presenting them, for
unfortunately in the cases of our great
men who write their own lives spurious
issues are made by unscrupulous parties.
The two volumes, one of which we have
already noticed, are sold by subscription
only. In completed form they come up to
our anticipation based upon the first vol
ume sheets we read few weeks ago. Gen
eral Sheridan wrote with great simplicity
of style. but which embodies strength and
gracs. He was quick scholar at West
Point, he became reading man, as well as
warrior, and his style has partaken of the
method OF the better relators of personal
adventure and experience. His story is
modestly told but with no concealments.
He wrote as he thought, and wherever
the relation gives credit be makes no effort
to prevent 1t having full effect, though he
thinks himself the recipient, vet he no.

Intestinal Worms-Warts

The Southern CultiUator being asked for
remedy for intestinal worms in one-year-
old colt, and for warts on horse, answers
as follows:
l. The following is good treatment for
worms in horse or colt: One dram sui
phate of iron (copperas), one dram tartar
emetic, two drams linseed meal. Mix and
give as one dose for grown horse, or half
the quantity for colt under two years of
age, repeating the dose morning and night
for week; then give purgatiye of: One
ounce spirits of turpentine one pint raw
linseed oil. Mix and give as one dose for
a horse, or half the quantity for a colt. In
about two or three weeks repeat the entire
treatment.
2. If the warts are small and pendulous,
clip them off with pair of scissors or
choke them off by tying silk thread
tightly around the neck; then cauterize
them with lunar caustic or touch with a
red-hot iron. If the warts are fat touch
them with drop or two of nitric acid
once day until destroyed. The burning
with hot iron or nitric acid converts the
place into an ordinary sore, which should
then be CREASED daily with little lard or
unsalted butter.

Fruit Packing.

The AUCTION gives the following sensible
advice on the subject of fruit packing:
'The habit of packing fruit with the finest
fruit at the top, while that at the bottom
of the packages is small and inferior, is not
confined to this country, as may be seen by
the foreign papers. A letter from Lon
don writer to the Adelaide South Aus
tralIa) Observer, states that the writer has
watched the shipment of fruit from the
Colony to the English market, and the
packing is dishonest in every respect The
boxes are rough, and from the first glance
would be set down as containing a cheap
quality of goods. Apples were rolled in
wallpaper of red and green, and in many
cases the color had been communicated
from the paper to the fruit, spelling it for
market. In cases containing apples nearly
four inches long, with beautiful color and
smoothness, were windfalls of about two
inches in circumference-mise little
things, fit only for swine. This, of course,
spoiled the sale, and cases that would have
brought 23s. or 24s. sold for 16s. or lis.
This is pointer to all of our fruit-packers
in this country, and should be profted by.
The grower who packs his fruit to sell at
irst-class prices, and in the bottom of his
cases places small, inferior fruit for the
purpose of gain, cheats the consumer, the
commission merchant, the retailer, and
last of all, himself. If you have good
fruit, pack it together and get good price,
letting the small fruit go for what it is
worth. When once a merchant finds he
has received poor article from the ship
per, he is inclined to give that man wide
berth, unless it can be satisfactorily ex-
planned, and even then he is not satisfied
to pay good prices for goods received.
Honest fruit-packing will pay the best in
the long run, and we hope our Western
and Southern growers will not lose sight of
this fact.n

bandy-legged little dachshund is chiefly
remarkable for the grotesque appearance
which an excessively long barrel and ride
ulously short legs communicate to his
frame, and though his scent is much nicer
than the bloodhound's, his limited powers
of locomotiou make him a valueless auxil-
iary when the trail to be covered is long
one. The presence of blood is wholly un-
essential to the tracking of a quarry,
though it is asserted that blood split on
the trail will effectually interfere with the
following of it. Well bred bloodhounds
never mangle quarry, or indeed attack it,
breach of etiquette on their part which
would at once proclaim them of plebian
origin. They may be trained for a variety
of purposes besides man tracking, but to
the extent they exhibit proficiency in the
former, to that extent is the delicacy of
their more normal function likely to be in
terfered with. Every dog to his trade,
the harrier for the hare, the deerhound
for the hart, and the
BLOODHOUND FOR THE OUTLAW.
The latter is too noble an animal to be
employed at rough work, and if he is to
preserve unimpaired mis- wonderful instinct
for man-tracklng, the dog should never be
prostituted to baser uses. To keep hounds
in training it is only necessary to oeca-
sionally cast them off on the trail of some
tramp, who, with an hours start and a
dollars compensation for his risk, would
furnish sport for the dogs and exercise for
himself This experiment is frequently
resorted to in the rural districts Of Eng
land, where the "quar1y" is generally
found in the sanctuary of wayside inn,
solacing himself with beer and uttering
maledictions at the hounds.
In conclusion, the bloodhound as a de-
tective, is in certain emergencies superior
to man, and if introduced into the noun
famous districts of this State, would very
soon demonstrate his value in the tracking
of outlaws and stage-robbers, who contrive
in TOO many instances to elude the clutch
of their human pursuers.

HIS THIRST FOR BLOOD


Is an entire myth, and in his fare the
bloodhound asks no change from. the diet
of the pointer or setter. All sporting dogs
require meat at intervals, but the usual
diet of bloodhounds in England consists
for the most part of dog crackers, which,
with an occasional bone or two, maintains
the animals in perfect fettle. For ali
round intelligence, the bloodhound is in.
ferior to the setter, but excels the pointer,
while he is docile and gentle to the extent
that he may be freely trusted among chill
dren. In the German dachshund the
bloodhound has rival in scent which
easily distances him, but the keenness with
which this instinct is developed in the
former animal at the expense of the other
faculties, render him an Indifferent substi-
tute for the bloodhound. The ugly, dumpy.

Something About Big Trees.

In his tsOne Hundred DAYS in Europe,
Oliver Wendell Holmes says: s1It is won
derful how people will lie about big trees
There must be as many as a dozen trees,
each of which calls itself the largest elm
in New England In my younger days,
when L never travelled without measur-
ing tape in my pocket, it amused me to
sec how meek one of the great, swagger-
ing elms would look when it saw the fatal
measure begin to unreel itself. 1t seemed
to me that the leaves actually trembled
as the memorable band encircled the trunk
in the smallest place it could find, which
is the only safe rule. The English elm
looks like a more robust tree than ours,
yet they tell me it is very fragile, and that
its limbs are constantly breaking off in
high winds, just as it happens with our
native elms. The English elm, as we see
it Oh Boston Common (growing side by
side with ours), comes out little earlier,
perhaps, than our own, but the difference
is slight. Ours is not a very long lived
tree; between 200 and 500 years is,
think. the longest life that can be hoped
for it.''
Concerning horse chestnut trees, DR..
Holmes says: ''I saw none in Europe
equal to those / remember in Salem, and
especially to one in Rockport; no willows
like those [ pass in my daily drives. On
the other hand, I think 1 never looked
upon Lombardy poplar equal to the one
I saw in Cambridge, England. No apple
trees in England compare with one next
my own door, and there are many others
as fine in the neigborhood. Dandelions,
buttercups, hawkweed looked much
as ours do at home. Wild roses also
grew by the roadside-smaller and paler,
thought, than ours. magazine Of
