One Tenth of the Sugar of the

World. : Something like one-tenth of the sugar of the world is produced in Mauritius. MeCulloch, in 1858, put down the world’s produce at 1,250- 000 tons. In 1862-3 the crop produced

165,000 tons, the largest quantity ever made in Mauritius in a single crop. These figures are independent of sugar made from beet or other sources besides the cain. The crop during the “coupe” just over is estimated at 125,000 tons. Of this the larger portion is exported,

the island consuming annually about 7.500 tons. Beet-root sugar can be classed among the natural enemies of the cane; the very mention of its

name in Manritius acts like the wave of a red flag to a buil—a good year for “beet”? meaning a bad year for sugar ; a failure in the former crop will add sev- eral shillings to the price of a hundred weight of cane sugar, a difference which means to the planter # good income for the year, or the reverse. Beet sugar is encouraged by bounties by the French Governmeut ; hence its cheaper produc- tion, and its rivalry with cane sugar. «~<a

Farm Life.

It isa common complaint that the farm and the farm life are not app. e- ciated by.our people. We long for the more elegant pursuits, or the ways and fashions of the towns. But the farmer has the most sane and natural cee apa- tion, and ough? to find life sweeter, if not less highly seasoned, than any

other. He alone, strictly speaking, has a home. How cana man take root and thrive without his land? He

writes his history upon his field. How many ties, how many resources he has; his friendship with his cattle, his team, his dog, his trees, the satisfaction in his growing crops, in his improved ficlds, his intimacy with nature, with bird and beast, and with the quicken- ing element forces; his co-operation with the cloud, the sun, the seasons, heat, wind, rain, frost. Nothing will take the various social distempers which the city and artificial life breed, out of a man like farming, like direct and loving contact with the soil. It draws out the poison. It humbles him, teaches him patience and reverence, and restores the proper tone to his system.

Cling to the farm, make much of it, put vourself into it, bestow your heart and brain upon it, so thatit shall savor of you and radiate your virtue after your day’s work is done.—Seribner.

On Rearing Calves.

Youug animals of Agriculture contains an interesting communication from the Duke of Northumberland on the subject of rearing calves. The Duke evidently wrote with a thorough knowledge of his subject, and notwithstanding all our pro- gress since 1782, it is doubtful if any living nobleman could better the Duke’s instruction. |

The plan consisted in using skimmed milk, thickened with common linseed oil cake, ground very fine. His grace par- ticlarly directed attention to this last point. The cake, he said should be ground ‘‘almost to an impalpable pow- der” in which state,—to quote his own words—it ‘‘ mixes very readily and al- most intimately with the milk, making it more rich and mucilaginous without giving it any disagreeable taste.’ The duke advises the addition of a little treacle, and sends with his letter the fol- lowing recipe:—Take one gallon of skimmed milk, and in about a piat of it to add half ati ounce of common treacle, stirring it until it is weil mixed; then take one ounce of linseed oil cake, finely pulverized, and with the hand let it fall gradually, in very small quantities, into the milk, stirring it in the meantime with a spoon or ladle, until it be thoroughly incorporated ; then let the mixtures be put into the other part of the milk, and the whole be made nearly as warm as new milk when it is first taken frem the cow, and in that ‘iate it is fit for use.

N. B.—Tht quantity of oil cake pow- der may, from time to time, be increased as occasion may require, and as the calf becomes inured to the flavor of it.’

In an editorial comment on this letter, Arthur Young informed his readers that he had tried all sorts of mixtures for rearing calves, except skimmed milk, and they had all failed. He had since tried skimmed milk, enriched according to the above recipe, and it had suecceded.

A newly married lady, whe ia duty bound, was very fond of her « osband, notwithstanding his extreme ugliness of person, once said to a witty friend:

“What do you think ? My husband has

laid out $10 for a large baboon on pur- pose to please me.’ “ The dear little man!” cried the other. “ Well, it is just like him.’ of

— CATARRE:

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CVRES CATARRE.

Hear what « Reverend Gentle man says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

Dear Str—Ilt-is new two years since your ‘“Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy” was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong te see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be ‘‘too goud to true.”

I was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken sore for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that ioath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of 16 yon May see proper, Yours truly, ’

The Greatest Medical Discovery sinee the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has deen - eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters. ;

Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsicuM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any Other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually te> effeet a.eure; but with these it is’entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a-porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful ewes effected by Dr. MELvin’s CAPsicuM Porous PLAsTeRs, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain cure, ask your druggist for

dR. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly: believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate oo to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial isa sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to oe friends.

sk your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSI- cumM Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2'for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
