THE following method of grafting or
rather of budding, is said to be practiced
successfully in France. It can be perform

of bark and wood, loaviig a fiat and smooth
surface t., this a similar piece containing
the bud is fitted, and the joint,c areealed
with collodion.: This forms a strong im-

lation of -the sap on the approach of wai'in
weather, and a -perfect union of the part..

CARE OF Cows,—The care of cows is
something that requites knowledge and
painstaking- in details. Make .your• • cows
comfortable. Abstain from all abuse ; let
no rude boys have access to then or no dogs
worry tie n .. Tf a cow is disposed to be
ugly, breachy auncl hard to manage, you do
not want her, of if you du, secure her a-
gainst harm in this respskct and let kindness'
be the string to lead her rasher than laid on.
You will foriu .in attachment thus, and this
ioill be a benefit. By giving cows good
r-queeters the rains and snow of cold weather
are avoided, and instead of shivering out in
the cold, your stock is having bright 'looks
and dry coats. ;chewing its cuds in content-

THIS: Tuff, J eld and Farre says :—A Mr.
Rose, of Philadelphia, is the owner of a
four-year-old horse that is only 27 inche,
high, and weighs but 135 pounds. He is a
perfec corse in every respect, brown boor,
• with a I tail. Mr, Rose later ° sent to
g Y
this city.for Mr, Hulse to shoe the horse,
tthedattee gentlemen taking the horse on
i his 'dap to perform the operation. Mia. H.
-tkeighs 2'7O -just twice the weight of the
horse. This horse is not a Shetland, not
does he belong to any other race of ponies.
He is an American horse, his sire and dam
being both over 15 handl high; and well
formed. The horse is probably the f mai-
lest in the world. He is really a cur•ecity,
and no doubt some of our circus nien will
be after him.
DRESSING FOR: BURNS. --A gent eman
named Fox relates that through the e •plos_
ion of a spirit lamp, the gt eater 1,orti o n of
his fa ie had been covered with rathe deep
burns. These healed in a week by th im-
mediate and oft repeated applicati n of
glycerine without the production of b isters
or festering' or leavingany scar. Dr
Lange, of Pittsburg, describes a c; se of
burning of both legs, caused byt a c•. se of
hot sand suddenly falling on these 1 arts,
which he dressed with flannel cloths soaked
in eight parts of linseed oil, and one of the
commercial. carbolic acid. " At first the
pain was slightly augmented, but in a few
wcments relief was experienced ; he con-
tinued this dressing for four days, but a
alight trace of suppuration appearing
along, thee_ edges. At the enol of
this time he removed the acid dressin , sub-
stituting simple cerate, a new skin eying
been formed.—The case did well ; th burn
healed rapidiS*."
THE ANIMAL IN THE STABLE is dependent`
on its owner to supply its wants ; and if the
pwner understands his own interest he will
duly study and supply them. Food must
be supplied regularly and at regular inter-
vals; it must be in sufficient quantity and
.that only—none to waste ; it must be pure
end healthy—not damaged by mould or
otherwise ; it must be properly pi eliared by
-cutting,, cooking, 3zc ; it must be fed in a
manger, tub or bucket fi not on the bare
ground to be dirtied and' waste. - Drink of
:pure clean water musttbe offered at least
three times a day, in sufficient quantity,. in
�
A clean trough, tub or bucket. The animal's
akin must be kept clean by currying, brush'
•Sag and rubbing. It must have a clean
• lace to stand and lie down on ; it Should
• ave exercise in the open air every day
that is not stormy. The stable should have
a good roof and be well ventilated. Give a
tittle salt twice a week. Treat kindly and
don't sweat ---animals hate swearing and
swearers.
'MILK FOR BUTTER IN WINTER.--Dairy-
aids should remember that milk, in order°
to throw up cream, must have a 'ertain
temperature. Where a thermometer is the
index, about seventy degrees will be found
to be the most desi able temperature for
-cream to rise in cold weather. It will not
do to put milk into the cellar at this Season
-of the year, because it is most likely filled
with.vegetables and fruit. No good utter
can be made from milk exposed to he ef-
•$uvia arising from vegetables When new
-milk has been strained, place the pan , or, if
ion please, the tin pail, on the stove and
-warm the milk. Then place it on the
,-helves in the buttery. The cream will soon
-raise, and besides will keen sweet. In ord-
er to sour cream sufficiently for churning, it
often becomes necessary to add a little of
the buttermilk from the churning. Re-
member that the temperature of cream at
the ,time of churning should be sixty-two
degrees. Thermometers are so (hea now -
allays that every dairymaid should have
one. A dairy thermometer, auflcien ly ac-
curate for the purpose, may be obtai ed for_
aboutseventy-five cents. If your churn-
ing .will " not come" readily it often helps
the cream to add a little common !gilt—
aboutone-half the quantity required for the'
sinotiiit of butter produced from the cream

PARLIAMENTARY.
WEDNESDAY.
A Bill was intioduced to simplify the
state of the Militia Commissions. Some
remarks were made relative to the falling
of•the roof of the Toronto drill shed. ft
was stated by Sir John A. Macdonald, that
no portion of the reward offered in con-
nexion with the McGee murder bad been
paid. The matter of widening the Well -
land Canal was discussed. Mr. Mackenzie
ridiculed the idea of a Government of 14
doing all their work by commissions. Sir
John A. Macdonald believed the enlarge
merit of our canals would ' be rendered
►ecessary to accomodate the trade of t -lie
North-West though he questioned whether
Canada sliouid involve the expense corse-
-7i rent: eon such a work, for the accomo-
dation of American vessels,from which the
Uanaditn. Governmeet would only realize
the oidinary toll. ' A long discussion en-
sued on the third reading of the Court of
Divorce and Matrimonial causes in New -
Brunswick.
THURSDAY.
Several petitions were presented against
the issue of a fractipnal currency. The
Hon. Mr. Aught' laid on the table copies
of the instructions issued to the Surveyors
in the North West. Mr: Abbott intro.=
deiced a Bill respecting Official Assignes
Mr. Brosseau moved that 3,000 additional
copies of the papers relating to the North
West, be painted. :Hr. Dufresne com-
plained of the meagreness of the Report
submittecl to the House on the intercolon-
ial. Railway. The emonuts paid to con-
tractors had not been stated. i IJ r. Walsh
stated that the Report contair><ed all the in-
formation that had been asked for. Ti re -
lily to Mr. T31ake, Mr. �'�'aelsl stated that
no money Frail been paid to the contractors
.but -.what have been certified by the En-
gineer, Ile `admitted suliseglien tly that an
advance had .been made on land which had
not been repaid; but the Commissioners
have resolved to make no more such ac]-
varrcee. A discussion ensued on the sub-
ject, but latterly it dropped. Mr. Fortin
resumedthe debate on the Election. Bill.;
He objected to the modes of preparing the
lists proposed - by the Bill. Ile likewise
objected to the proposed diminuti:,n of the
Electoral Franchise. If this part of the
Bill was brought into operation in Quebec
it would have the effect of disfranchising
many who had r,;eeived grants of land for
military services. Mr. Bellerose said it
was important to have the electoral laws
of the country assimilated; so he did not ob-
ject to the -Registration clause. „ He was
opposed, however, to the monetary quali-
fication proposed by the Bill. Mr. Ross
argued that the Bill" would deprive of the
right of voting a most intelligent class of
men in all parts of the Dominion. Mr.
Fortin took exception to the monetary
qualifications clause; and maintained that
the five years' lease clause would disfran-
chise a vast number of persons. He oi.i-
jected to the idea of assimilating the el-
ection system gf the various Provinces, and
argued that there was no necessity for
such assimilation. He lamented the fact
that the French language would apparent-
ly soon be forgotten in the House, and con-
cluded in saying that while in speaking (he
spoke French) he felt as if he were addres-
sing ;marble columns! Mr. Stirton ob-
jected to the creation of a Regisration Court
- as placing a -dangerous power in the hands
of an unscrupulous Government. He de-
sprecated the idea of making a. distinction
between town and county lesses in the mat-
ter of the franchise. Mr. Bodwell was ap-
posed to uniformity in the franchise ar-
rangements of the different Provinces. He
was in favour of such ene extension of ;the
Income Franchise as would admit. many
mechanics, clerks, etc., to the exercise of
the suffrage. He argued in favour of the
one -day elections. Hon. Mr. Cameron said
that the Government were prepared to
modify certain parts of the measure. Mr.
Godi' spoke in favour of simultaneous el-
ections. After a. somewhat Lengthened
• discussion, in, the course of which some of
• the details of the Bill were° obj ected to, the
Bill was read a second time.

How Protection Benefits the Producer
Bastiat tells a story illustrative of the
sophisms of protection, which places so clear-
ly the benefit which accrues to the producer
from the t.►riff that we give it here :—A
poor la')ourer of Gironde had raised, with
great care and toil, a nursery of vines, from
those he finally succeeded in obtaining a
pipe of ;wine. This wine he desired to sell
in order to buy thread wherewith his wife
shout t weave linen .for herdaughter's' tro8-
8eau. Arriving at the market place he -met
a Belgian and an Englishman., The. Bel-
gian said, " I will give you in exchange for
your wine fifteen bundles of thread. " The
Englishman said, " I will give you twenty
bundles for it,- for we Englishmen can spin
cheaper than the Belgians. " But the law
standing by, in form of 'a Custom -house
officer, said to the owner of the wine :—
Good man, make your exchange with the
Belgian if you choose, but it is my duty to
prevent you from doing so with the English-
man." " What ! " exclaimed the English-
man. " What ! " exclaimed the country-
man. " must I take for my hard labour
fifteen bundles of thread from Belgium,
when I might have twenty as good from
England 1 Why sol " " Certainly, you
:muetr," ;onswered-the officer ; do yon not
see that Dance would be the loser if you
made the'other bargain I" The laborer was
unable to understand it, and the officer
'coulcr• on$ explain it by ',the assertion that
deputies, . ministers and editors all agree
that "a people is impoverished in propor-
J
-tion as it received a large compenstation
for any given quantity of its produce." The
countryman was obliged to conclticlo his
bargain with the Belgian. His daughter
received three-fourths of her tro888au, and
is still puzzling herself to discover how it
can happen that a people can be ruined l)y
receiving four instead of three, and why
they are richer with three dozen towels in-
stead of four.
.here it is: The manufacturer -monopo-
list is the one benefited. In order to sus-
tain home tranuf acture, and ostensibly to
give employment- to a limited inumber of
men, a whole people, all the producers acid
all the consumers, must he taxed. The le-
•venne increased, a monopolist is enriched,
and the whole people impoverished.
With our very best method to develope
our iron mines, and the mannfacture of the
- manufacture of the ore into utile iron and
steel, we succeed in obtaining a vet infei for
article at a very superior price. For want
of good iron and steel at -reasonable iates,
out manufactures are declining, our iron-
works closed, our ship -yards deserted_ For
repairs even, our steamers linil, across the
ocean with one engine. Our railway
tracks are made of rotten American iron,
rendering. transportation extravagantly ex -
Pensive, and travel absolutely Unsafe to
limb and liio. Bereft of employment, the
poor are too pour to buy grain at the prices
it Must- bring to pay the producer, and the
producer, unable to sell at is paying sum,
hords it in his barn, and lets his land lay
idle. Says the Protectionist : " Ainerican
industry must be .protected from foreign
encroachment. Our internal resources
must Le developed ;". ergo, that our iron
mines may be developed, let general incus-
try go to the dogs, That a few monopol-
ists may amass fortunes, let the masses les
taxed for comfort until they are not able to
afford absolute necessities. Thio . is the
philosophy of protection. This is " the in-
dustrial e•o)icy of a Republican Govern-
ment subverted by a capitalist aristocrocy.

• Romantic Story of a Newsboy
The Boston correspondent of the Chicago
Journal tells the following :—tt Years ago,
about the time the war broke out, one of
the shrewdest new teiys that ever sung the
song of the bulletin board or peddled the
extra, managed to get down into Virginia
with a Massachuc:etts regiment, and finally
controlled the exclusive sale of New York
and Boston papers, in the wake of a salter.
He was fifteen years old at that time, but
had ,the business capacity of a merchant's
clerk. All he needed was opportunity.
Brains was his capital, for most part. In
the course of a year the newsboy accumu-
lated $2,700, which he invested in tobacco
and cigars, and smokers' goods generally.
Being a clever, accoixrodating boy, he made
fiieude with everybotly, and consequently
did a thrivi►,g business. -Alter a while he
got out of.tho tobacco business, and went to
Washington, where he hung out his shingle
as a grocer in a small way ; and haying an
extensive acquaintance among the Massa-
chusetts soldiers, and knowing almost every
officer of note, he established a large trade
in the way- of furnished luxuries, etc., for
officers and their friends, and finally his
place became a sort of headquarters for the
outfit ofsniters. When the war closed, and
when Grant. and Lee held that memorable
confau under a certain apple -tree, our news-
boy found himself good for $30,000 er
$40,000. But .he did not leave Washing-
ton with the return of peace.. He lingered
there - until profits were small and trade
was..ori the wane, and then he did leave for
Boston, he brought home with him the
heart of a young heiress, which he had the
year before attacked, and which had capi-
tulated to him. The young man says he
owes his success in life thus far to a diligent
attention to business, honesty, go-a-head-
itiveness, and a polite treatment of beth
friends and strangers, - Newsboys, oven the
raggedest gammin of them all, can learn a
lesson -from this bit- of history."

Sad Case. of Suicide in Boston
There was a ripple of excitement at the
St. James' Hotel one evening lately, caused
by a sad case of suicide, The partywho
thus sought oblivion of this world's cares
was an elderly person ge, say fifty years,
named Benjamin A. S lith, The circum-
stances attending the eath of Mr. Smith
are of a sad character. When he commenc-
ed boarding at the St. James, he was repu•
ted to be a wealthy merchant from New
York city, and this report seemed to he re-
garded as true on account of his being en-
gaged in no particular 'business in this city.
Persons acquanted with him took it for
granted that he was living on the interest
of his money. But during the last two
months it was noticed that he drank consid-
erably, and at times excessively. About
five or ten minutes before he took his ';life
he was in the billiard room of the hoteland
he was noticed to remove his hat and coat
and then leave while in a state of iutoxica-
tation. The report of a pistol was heard,
and the roan was found dead. On his body
was found a small four barrelled pistol,three
barrels of which were loaded. The unfor-
tunate man has a family in New York,who
was informed of his sad fate by telegraph.
The deceased left the following note in his
room :—
Homeless. wifeless, childless; penniless,
hopeless,. -right arm nearly useless,, almost
friendless f close my career upon earth.
Some kind hand will place me quietly at
rest at Mount Auburn. I feel that my
mission is ended and that the Almighty
will pardon me for thus early laying off the
great burden of my life.
