PRoGREsS OF STEAM CULTIVATION IN
EUROPE. AT an agricultural meeting late
" held in Scotland, Mr.. Grey, of Aber-
deem, gave some account of the progress of
steam cultivation since 1915, in which year
the late John Fowler started his first steam
pillow in Essex, which was very success
full attempt. He subsequently expended
$3.50, 900 in experiments, but after few
years he had nothing TO represent this
amount of invested capital except a lot of
old machinery. The solution Of the ques-
ton whether blowing could he done cheap
err with steam than with horses was decid-
ed in 1858 its importance may be learned
from the fact that there are works in the
country employing twelve hundred men
in nothing else than making steam-plows.
One farmer in Egypt employs four hun
dred steam plows he is also laying down
four hundred miles of railway on his farm,
principally to carry sugar-cane to his mills,
and has ordered thirty locomotive engines,
and %, 600, 900 worth of sugar machinery.
This farmer is the Pacha. In Germany
steam culture is making revolution in ag-
riculture. In England there are between
400 and 500 sets of tackle working for hire.
These are held by companies as well as by
private individuals the investment has
been found TO be profitable.
A gentleman bought five hundred acres
near London, that could not be rented at
SO per acre. He took down all the fences,
drained the land, bought steam pillow and
put in all grain crops. Last year his clear
profits were Sls,OOO after allowing $40 per
acre for rent. The soil is stiff clay that can
not be cultivated profitably by horse pow
er. Another farmer bought five thousand
acres of what was considered worthless
clay land, and by steam power stirred it 8
feet deep, producing crops last year nearly
7 feet high.
In Scotland steam cultivation is bccom-
ing quite general, producing astonishing
lesults. Many of the farmers there have
invested from s6,OOOto $4,000 in steam ma
chinery, and find that i. pays better than
horsepower. Joint-stock companies are
also in existence that invest in land and
steam machinery, and secure large divi-
dends

Happy-Go-Luoky has cheeks rosy red,
Ten times day he will stand on his head,
Happy Go-Lucky is brimful Of fun,
Up in the morning as soon as the sun,
Sliding on banisters, all the way down,
Playing at circus and humping his crown,
When no has shocked all the house with alright,
of he goes, screaming with roguish delight
Happy Go-Lucky once climbed up tree
Just to look round and sec what he could see:
Crack went the bcugh Such terrible fall!
Didn't hurt Happy -Go-Lucky at all!
May be the fairies with some potent charm,
Because he's so cheerful have kept him from harm
Mother wishes that he would be still,
Only for once; but the rogue never will!
Happy-Go-Luoky runs out in the streets,
Asks in to dinner each beSgar he meets;
Happy-Go-Lucky-now just think Of that

When he knows mother is going to scold,
Up he trots gravely in tears, am told,
Then he will kiss her and hug her with JOY

CANINE RAvAoEs on the snrrp FOLD

CANINE RAvAGEs ON THE SHEEP FOLD.
Official reports show in Ohio an annual
loss of 100000 in sheep killed by dogs,
and nearly sl,O00,000 in injuries-a loss
equivalent to 100000 pounds of wool, or
tax of two per cent. upon the sum invested
In sheep in that State. II is said that in
two years, from 1865 to 1870, Illinois sank
from sixth TO ninth rank among the States
in the number aud value of its sheep, and
this great falling of is attributed to pro-
portionate increase in the number of dogs,
and the lack of proper legislation to pre-
vent their rayages among the sheep. The
Legislature Of Maryland is considering tho
same subject. The returns from five coun-
ties report 1000 sheep killed In one year by
dogs.
