In the meantime the same ground can
be covered with small fruits, such as the
blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry,
which can be made to produce well IN
two or three years; good crop of
small fruits is exceedingly profitable of
itself. To this may be added, in a few
years, larger fruits, which, in all mar
kets, find ready sale. We know an
orchard of eighteen acres thus cultiva-
ted, which yields net profit of several
thousand dollars annually; this year, il
no harm befalls the fruit, and it brings
anywhere near the usual price, it can
not be less than eight or ten thousand
dollars.
But this orchard has the advantage OF
being near the city, so that its products
can be marketed daily as fast as il
ripens. In case of orchards away from
markets, the fruit may be canned OF
dried. Canned fruit is now an article
of commerce that always finds a ready
sale at a high price. The work of can
ming is simple, and may be safe and GER
tain. Winter fruit may be transported
a considerable distance and still be sold
at profit. This is a kind of agriculture
that in years to come Is to receive much
attention and be carried to great perfec,

leaders in a great enterprise.
This fruit culture we regard as 6

TAXING COLD.

of the lungs, it becomes pneumonia, in-

and in many cases carries off the strong

lungs, it is pleurisy, with its khife-like

If cold settles in the joints, there is
rheumatism with its agonies of pain,
and rheumatism of the heart, which0in

cords of life with no friendly warning

HOW 81 FArrEN 4 H0RSE.

To fatten horse that has fallen off
in flesh is sometimes a tedious business;
indeed, the work of months. The fol-
lowing suggestions to accomplish it,
however, though without paternity,
look to us as wise and to the purpose:

ties of grain and hay, and still continue
thin and poor; the food eaten is not
properly assimilated sf the usual food

able alteration in the appearance OF the
animal. In case oatmeal cannot be OBJ
tanned readily, mingle bushel of flax

and another bushel of Indian corn, and

viii be fair proportion for all his food.
Or the meal, or the barley, oats and
corn, in equal quantities, may first be
procured and one-fourth part of oil
cake mingled with it, when the meal is
sprinkled on cut food. Feed two or
three quarts of the mixture two or
three times daily, mingled with peck
of cut hay and strav. If the horse viii
eat that greedily, let the quantity he
gradually increased until he viii eat
four or six quarts at every feeding, three
times day. So long as the animal
viii eat this allowance, the quantity
may be increased a little every day.

to stand at a rack well filed with hay.

so that the points Will all touch n

trary, the kerl must not be so wide as

cutting than it should that the saving

Hence, the saw goes jumping along,
working hard and cutting slowly If
one tooth is longer than those on either
side of it, the short ones do not cut, al
though the points may be sharp. When
putting a cross-cut saw in order, it will
pay well to dress the points with an old
file, and afterwards sharpen with a fine

that the very points only may be joined,

TIE COLORADO DESERT As Az IS
LAND.

TIE COLORADO DESERT As Az IS
LAND.
Could the Colorado desert be again
filed with water? 1t is an interesting
question From the Gulf of California
it is probably an impossibility. The
gradual sitting up Of the old gulf-bed
at the mouth of the river, and the drift
of sand by the wind, have interposed a
barrier too extensive to be easily re-
moved. BY turning the Colorado river
into the desert it might be accomplished.
The project has for years been discussed
of taking enough water from the river
to irrigate a strength of fertile land, al
luvial deposit, found ut the southern
end Of the desert but the idea of going
further than this, of diverting the river
into the desert and forming a large
fresh-water lake, seems never to have
been preached. Nature, unassisted, Is
now attempting this. The drift of sand,
through the prevailing western wind,
is from the desert toward the east. This
drift has kept the river walled in upon
the east side of the valley, and has APP
parently constantly forced it further IN
that direction.
Could that desert be retilled with
water converted from dry, hot sand
to an inland lake-the very heat which
is reflected from the barren mountain
sides around would be power of good
instead of evil. The constant evapora-
ton would render heat latent which is
now active, thus lowering the annual
temperature very perceptibly. This
lowering of temperature alone, even if
unaccompanied by an increase of mois-
ture in the air, would give a greater
rainfall by the more perfect condensa-
ton which it would cause. But the
evaporation from the surface of the lake
would materially augment the supply
of vapor in the rain-currents, thus act
ing in double manner, a decrease Of
temperature and an increase Of moisture
for precipitation. These rain-currsnts
would also meet with less difficulty in
making their way against the ocean
winds-as these winds, caused largely
by the heat of the desert, would be less
violent-and would, therefore, with
more certainty and regularity deposit
their supply of moisture over the plains
of Los Angeles, San Barnardino, and
San Diego. When it is considered that
every additional inch of rain is worth
millions of dollars to these southern
countries, the value of such a change
in quantity and certainty of fall may be
readily appreciated. -OUergand Monthly.

OLD ROMAN FOPS.

Fops, in these degenerate times, are
plentiful, and wear rings in abundance,
sometimes covering every finger with
Chem. Some have carried their folly so
far as to wear the same rings only a
week, and then replace them with new
ones. Oh, Penda, We're it not for the
sturdy, virtuous provinces, what would
become of imperial Rome Men here,
in the great city, are turning first into
women, and then into birds and beasts.
They dote on trinkets like women, on
fine dress as the bird does upon its
plumage, and by excessive lust become
beasts. The tops disgust you at every
turn. They wear scarlet tunics and blue
cloaks, and sometimes the feminine
tOga, clasped with rich buckles that
serve as brooches. They defy the sun
with parasols brought from India, paint
their eye-lids and faces like the Corin-
THAN harlots, curl their hair into ring
lets CLOSED with perfumed oils, and
even display the bodkin among their
tresses. They lisp in soft whispers, and
in every way they ape silly women in
manners and personal ornaments
