prOscriptive DuBose as follows:


If Sir Oracle DuBose would only indulge
in little silence, he might have some
chance of impressing people with his own
estimate of himself. He is trying to create
the conviction that he is a modern Jove,
and that if he does yield, he is at least in
collusion with thelightning and the storm.
Were it not that his head is as utterly des-
titute of brains as the huge boots upon
his hoofs, and that he is entirely lacking
in the generous qualities which are neces-
sary to party leader, and did not the peo-
pie recoil instinctively from a nature so
selfish, SO domineering, so full of bile, so

The first remedy for this is such sn increase
in the means OF transportation that the cost Of
moving tie grain shal1 be reduced. Time was
when the Erie Canal could move all the bread-
stutfs Of the West. OF late years, the railroads
have been employed aleo; but, while the canal
vas opcn, the rates of transportation were regu-
latcd by those on tho canal But the continued
neglect Of the State Of New York to increase the
width and depth Of that canal has 80 limited it's
means that the number Of boats capable Of being
used thereon has become so few, in proportion
to tho demand, that the rates Of freight Gnclud-
ing the consideration Of time) have advanced to
nearly the standard Of railroad traffic; and the
railroads, no longer considering the canal as q
competitor, have advanced their rates to the
point whore it now requires one bushel of
corn at Chicago to pay the freight on another
from Chicago to New York. The great body Of
consumers derive no advantage from the small
price paid to the producer of grain the price Of
breadstufs to the Eastern consumer is as big
as when the producer got twice a. much as he
now receives. Tho foreign purchaser pays 92H
cents per bushel in Liverpool, Is cents Of which
represents the value Of corn, and Tx cents
represents the cost Of moving the corn from
Iowa to Liverpool. The means of getting OUT
surplus grain from Chicago to Buffalo are ample;
but across the State of New York there is nov
no more proportionate outlet to the great bulk
Of it than there was when Clinton begun his
canal. Then corn vas hnuled to market by
wagon, costing for transportation one or two
bushels to pay tho freight On one bushel now
the cost Of transportation is in many cases eyen
greater than that.


The time has now come when the production
Of grain on the present scale must be abandoned,
or there must be canal equal to the wants Of
steam navigation from the lakes to the Hudson,
OF from Lake Eric to the st. Lawrence below
the rapids. We must hnve through steam na7i-
CATION to New York or to Montreal, or re must
stop raising breadstuffs beyond what is needed
for neighborhood consumption. Nothing Is
gained by ral11ng at the rallroads ann VesBel-
owners. Grant that they are e1tortioners, The
fact is, there is more stuff to be moved than the
canal and the railroads can carry. Preach till
the crack Of doom,-thoy will charge al they can
get. We must have new outlet, and, in our
Judgment, the st. Lawrence only can furnish it,
Let the National Board Of Trade canvass this
question thoroughly. Can they devise the
means whereby the surplus grain Of the country
can be carried to market at cost that will leave
somo compensation to the producer7 Failing
such Q remedy, the raising Of such surplus will

In the discussion of wheat culture.
at the late Agricultural Convention in
Newport, n. H, Mr.. Pattee, OF
Mariner, gave a formula for reducing
bones, as follows: Place them in a
large kettle, mixed with ashes and
about one peck of lime to barrel OF
bones. Cover with water and boil. In
twenty-four hours, all the bones, with
the exception of the hard bones,
will become so much softened as to be
easily pulverized by hand. They will
not be in particles of bone, but in
a pasty condition, and in excellent
form to mix with muck, loan or ashes.
BY boiling the shin bones ten or twelve
hours longer, they will also become
soft. This is an easy and cheap meth
cd of reducing bones. If the farmer
will set aside cask for the reception OF
bones in some convenient place. and
throw all that are found on the farm
into 1t, especially if one or two dead
horses come into his possession, he
will be likely to find a valuable
collection at the end of the year
which would prove a valuable adjunct
to the manure-heap.
