Eps. c.. GcNr. GO on. gentlemen, with
your good advocacy Of thorough draining.
10 help you, let me tell Of barley crop
this season. Tho farmer who works my
place (in Orrins,on. Mains.) cgriifes 70

ter aercs. drained land, be has harvested
POO bushels good sound barley, round
measure" II, had measured one acre in
the be-, corner of the field, from which the
grain was housed and thre,hcd separately
yielding G.,y.onc bushels. TIL, i, not
much behind "a good crop" under Eng.
li,h high farming, and, | think, il the sJw.
ing had been with drilling machine in.
stead Of a broadcast, Maine would not have
bcsn a viii, behind Ensland on this crop Of
about six acres. Except the gooi draining,
there hal been no more than ordinary good
cultivation upon what was three years ago
piece Of exhausted moving land, cold,
wet, and never fit for spring plowins. Tho
" catch " OF grass and clover. with the
harley. is very good, and even promising
in the future good cut Of hay. have
now more than five miles Of drains laid,
three and halt to four fee, deer, and hope
to lay as many more, being well satisfied
that cannot aford to cultivate my soil un.

Roots for Feeding Horses.

Horses in livery stables, aud all animals
k,p, upon dry food the entire year, need a
liberal feeding Of roots to keep their diees-
tive organs in healihlul action. II is ow-
ing to the fact Of their medicinal or aperi-
cnt qualities, that We see such eItrayagani
statements a, are frequently made up alter
short ,rials--,hat bushel Of carrots are
equal 70 a bushcl Of oats as food for a horse.
The fac. are. it is contrary TO nature for
horses to bo KEEP, month after mouth, and
year after year, upon dry hay and grain
without grass or roots. Every horso owner
should remember this, and let liberal sup
rly o, green food enter into the bill Of fare
for his hor,e. that ,s health may be kept
up. nor himself suffer loss from neglectin.
thi, precaution, We never yet found a
livery stable keeper that had tried them,
who dad not value carrot, very highly. Le,
tie reader who owns a horse. use roots rs q
medicine" II nothing more.

SHipBrILpING IN lS59.-It is said that so
great is the surplus of American tonnage,
that if ship was not built in this country
for three years. and the average annual los
ses by shipwrecks. &C., occurred during that
time, even then we should have tonnage
enough Tor the business of the United States
and for the foreign carrying trade. Ships
now are the poorest property man can
own, for they sail at an enormous expense,
and when not making money are losing it
very fast. Assessments instead OF dividends
are the present results of ship-owning, and
the prospects in the future are very unfavor-
able. Our own ports, North and South, are
full of ships,-also the Pacific and India and
China ports. Our markets are full of goods
and we should not suffer if we did not receive
an East India cargo Tor one year; neither
would San Francisco suffer if treated in the
same way. Let our shipbuilders cease, then;
let not low wages, cheap timber and want
of something to do. tempt them to build this
year. We had better be idle than lose what
we have made, as all shipbuilders will thi:
season. If they have nothing of their own
they will lose the property of those no cred
1t them. Wait for better times.

HAYTT.-A more ch.ckered history than
that OF the island of st. Domingo has fallen
to the lot of no portion of America. Dis
covered by Columbus on his first voyage and
named by him Hispaniola, its fertility aud
beauty early attrac ed the attention of the
Spanish emigrants to the new world. The
determination of the aborigines was tedious
labor, which the Spaniards undertook, but
did not complete till nearly two centuries
had elapsed. The introduction of African
slaves prepared the Island for its present
condition. The French fugitives from St.
Kits. in the year 1880. gave the national
eoloring to the west end of the island; the
eastern end, now the republic of Dominica,
remaining Spanish.
1t was from this island that the Buccaneers
had their origin, and here too the "Filibus
tiers first found a local habitation and a
name Throughout a considerable part of
the seventeenth century, the French and
Spanish had seric> of struggles, which end.
ed in SPANS formally giving up the west
end OF the island. In 1871 came the revolt
OF the blacks, and in 1898 the massacre of
the whites. Then Toussaint FOuverture
appeared, the most chiyalrous and romantic
of negro heroes There is scarcely more
touching episode in history than the rise and
tall of this brave and high-minded black
The fall of the great Napoleon seems almost
like spectral retributop, when we remem-
Der how Toussaynt IOuverture, trusting to
French generosity, was thrown ito French
prison to suffer and die.
Alter Toussaint came Dessalines and a
new instruction. This second of the negro
heroes made himself Emperor, under the title
OF James l., in 1904, and two years after
wards fell by the hand of an assassin. Then
came the division of the island: kingdom
in the North and a republic in the South
The civil war of 1921, and the rise of Bower
made another epoch. Boyer was one of the
abest OF the Haytien statesmen lis repub-
lican rule was dictatorial one, but it gave
more peace and prosperity to the island than
it had ever known.
The revolution of 1912. which overthrow
Boyer, began the period of disorder and mis-
rule in which Soulouque became prominent
actor. \ new era is tegun now. The en-
pre- is at an end. Whether a separate re-
public will be maintained. or whether there
