STEALING FRUIT, FLOWERS, Ac,
In some States there are no laws, or laws
of insufficient kind, to protect the owners of
fruits, flowers, crops, trees, &c., against
thieves. It was so in Pennsylvania, up to
within a few years; but now, after much dif
ficulty in obtaining a proper enactment, the
owners of tins species of property, have, to
some extent, as the owners of cattle, house
hold goods or bank notes, protection afforded
them by law. We prayed for this law,
many years, but it was long, very long, com
ing ; and now IbatJ we possess it, now that
the proprietors of this valuable description
of estate, are secured in the enjoyment of it
by the strong arm of municipal power, the
depredations of theives —formerly so daring !
and destructive —have greatly diminished, I
indeed have almost entirely ceased. In nu
merous instances that have come to our no
tice, the law has been put in force, fines im
posed, and in one or two cases the thieves
have been sent to prison. Such being the
penalties of the law, and the infliction rest
ing entirely with any justice of the peace—
no owner of fruit, flowers, green-hoHses,
gardens, orchards. Ac., should fail to put
the law in execution against every trespas
ser and thief. There should be no tempor
izing, no hesitating, on the part of the suf
ferers ; and where a firm policy is maintain
ed, aDd the penalties are meted out prompt
ly, there will soon be no need to inflict them
more than once or twice in any locality.
Well may a writer whose complaint, is
now before us, say, that "pilfering fruit, or
destroying the flowers of neighbors, is a
moat disgraceful act" Ay, it is more —it
is as criminal as robbing yon of, or destroy
> ing any other species of property. And
why should it not be ? If a person expends
a hundred, a thousand, or five thousand
dollars in an orchard, a garden, and their
appliances; be values them quite as highly,
and they contribute quite as much to his
enjoyment k and comfort as his horses, his
cattle, his watch, or his jewelry. And why,
therefore, should they not be protected a
gainst the thief and the spoiler, with equal
zacrednessand solicitude ? — Gear. Td.
FLAVOR OF FBI'IT IMPROVED BT
THINNING.
An article in the Journal of Horticulture,
has the following very judicious remarks on
the propriety of thinning fruit:
"The flavor of fruit, barring extreme sun
less seasons, is entirely under the control of
the gardener. A clever man can command
flavor ; a duil man when he finds his fruit
flavorless, makes idle excuses, which should
never be listened to. If a tree trained to a
wall he allowed to ripen, say ten dozen of
fruit, when five or six dozen only should have
boen left, they, although they may be of a
fair size and color, suffer in flavor to an ex
tent scarcely credible. How often has the
gardener had occasion to complain of his
pears not being good, although produced on
fine trees trained against walls ? He com
plains of the season ; but it is in most cases
owing to the trees being allowed to bear just
double the number they ought to have done.
The following ought to be inscribed on ev
ery wall, and in every fruit and orchard
house : —"By thinning, you make indiffer
ent fruit good. By crowding you make good
fruit bad." If very fine and high flavored
fruit is wished for, a tree capable of bearing
three dozen of medium sized peaches should
be allowed to bear only twelve or fifteen. It
is like drawing a tooth, fruit that
falls to the ground creates a pang ; but it
must be done. A small, sharp pen-knife is
the best instrument to employ and is much
better than tearing off the fruit with the fin
ger and thumb. A well-formed peach or
nectarine tree, be it bush or pyramid, with
its fruit properly thinned and nearly ripe, is
one of the most beautiful, articles the skill
of the cultivator can produce.
BRAN MASHES FOR HORSES.
Many who keep horses give them no
, change of feed. It is hay and oats all the
time. Those who pretend to keep fine hor
ses, we will not even suppose make a regu
lar feed of corn. For horses, we know, are
fed almost entirely on corn in the West. It
may do as a feed for a plough team—but
certainly not for fine carriage or buggy hor
ses. But horses, whether fed regularly on
corn or oats, should have a bran mash at
least once a week—and if twice all the better.
It cools the system—it opens the bowels and
cleanses and purifies them. It keeps the
horse in health. It wards off the cholic and
other bowel complaints. There will be few
er horses dying with the botts, cholic and
similar diseases, if bran mashes are given
weekly.
They are made by .heating the water to
the boiling point, and then pouring it on
bran. About six quarts of bran should be
used for each horse. A couple quarts of
oats may be put with the bran and a little
salt, and the boiling water poured over all.
When cool, feed to the horse. They should
generally be given at night, f Rural World.
THE CATTLE DEFICIENCY.
By a statistical article prepared by Dr.
Metcalf, of Massachusetts, compiled from
the oensus returns, and other data, it is
shown that up to 1860, 28 milch cows, 8
working oxen and 44 other cattle—maVlpg
80 neat cattle —are required for each 100 in
habitants. There hcu not been a deviation
of one per cent, from this rule for the last
thirty years.
Leaving Texas and the Pacific slope out of
the estimate, as having little to do with the
demand and supply of other parts ol' the
country, and the ratio is reduced to 68 cat
tle for each 100 inhabitants.
On the latter ratio, we find that the State
of Wisconsin was efficient 15.517 head;
while tire States around us, Minnesota, lowa
Dlino'S) and Michigan hold the full ratio;
and all hut Minnesota having a surplus for
exportation.
Since 1860 large numbers of cattle have
been driven from the State, to supply the
demand of the army and the Markets of the
apt Notwithstanding the natural increase
we presume that if accurate statistics could
be made to-day, the deficiency of our State
would be much larger than in 1860, Wis

The property ef the above named company,
which is about being organized under the mining
lafrs of Pennsylvania, consists of the following
valuable territory, to wit:
1. A lease of one-half acre, known as "No. 3,"
on the Tenney and Storrow purchase, on Cherry
Run, Venango county, Pa., just above the celebra
ted "Reed" well and within a stone's throw of a
well just struck, flowing at present 100 barrels pei
day. A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
half the oil to the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, in close proximity to
the above, known as "No. 6," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acres of ground; five-cighthß of
the oil to the company.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mile from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company." All flat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny," of Philadelphia, arc now sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it cannot be excelled by
that of any other company yet organized. The
two leases on Cherry Kun are themselves worth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed"' well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 400,
and in fact nearly all qf the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of
twenty-Jivt cent* per share, thus placing ex ert/ sub
scriber to this fund on the ground-flour, and giv
ing each subscriber a pro rata interest in the ter
ritory, engines, and other property of the company,
as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
after the purchase money and working capital are
raised. From the nature of the leases boring up
on them must be commenced within sixty days
from the 20th of April, 1865, which is a sufficient
guaranty that the company will proceed without
delay to the development of its territory.

officers of the company.

UOT'TZ'S CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Pendens.
These Powders have proved, after atrial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fiom the fact that they nrecompos
cd of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties from the stomach and intestines, the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous {and
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the horsea
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders are to bloat the animal, so as to give him the
appearance of being Cat when not really so—but
to remove the disease and promote his general
health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an
bring them to a healthy state. They are a surepro
vention of Lung Fever, and a certain remedy
ail diseases incident to the Horse, as Glanders,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss ol Appetite and Vital
Energy, Ae.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Corfc
or Botts. A few doses of these powders will re
move the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of horses to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and value which should place it in the
hands of every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes them thrive much faster,
Hoas.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the
lungs and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper
to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swill, the
above diseases can bo cured or entirely prevented.
By using these powders the hog cholera can be
prevented.

The American Publishers continue to reprint the

has doubled aud the price of paper nearly trebled,
they are compelled to advance their terms as fol
lows: i

For any one of the Reviews $4.00

These works will be printed on a greatly im
proved quality of paper, and while nearly all A
meriean Periodicals areeither advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
continue to give faithful copies of all the matter
contained in the original editions.lleuce, our pres
ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount
of matter furnished, as those ol any of the com
peting periodicals in the country.
Compared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prioes (sls) areoxcoeding
ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an
nual payments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright in Gold—slcosting us at
this time nearly $2.50 in currency—and we trust
that in the scale we have adopted we shall be enti
rely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public.
The interest of those Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on ourgreat Civil War, am
though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may
still, considering their gnat ability and the differ
ent stand-points from which they arewritten, be
read and studied with advantage by the people of
this country of every creed and party.
