Farming In I3ohc11lfn,

The Agricultural Jury Of tho Vienna E1posi-
tion recently mado An excursion to tho farm oi
Herr Ritter Horaky, situated in Bohemia, about
200 miles from Vienna. The cxourHionistB,
about to0 in number, wont by special train pro-
vided by Herr Horsky, who Is q 1arge exhibitor.
moro beautiful farming district ia seldom eeen
the land is Bmooth aud free from rocks, ocoar
sional patches Of woodland brcnk tho monotony
Of tho shayon hills, and everywhere largo fields
Of grain and tubers add their varied shades Of
groom to tho landscape, Every foot Of lind Ia
cultivated; there is little or no Waste ground.
Tho farm Of Horr Horshy lies north Of Kolin,
and extends acrosa tho large plain. It contains
5000 acros, Of which, 2, 500 is woodland, and tho
beot, grain, vines, and hops; and only 400
acres nro waste taud and space occupied
by tho roads, streams, and ditcloB. Herr
H0rsky came into poAssessi0n OF this estate ton
years ago, and purchased 1t for tho small aum Of
400 900 forins. The yearly products now amount
to $4,000 in value, exclusive Of tho profits Of
tho Buga1-manufactoTy on tho estate, and tho
proprietor has invested about s600.000 in i'm
proyomentB. When he took tho farm, it waa
nearly all moraes and pasture land, almost on
tigely unproducti7o, and comparatively worth
less. By q scientific system Of drainage, and by
tho employment Of chemical rnanures and other
agents, Herr Hotsky haB succeeded In bringing
the land up to tho highly productive state indi-
catod by the value of the yoarly crop. The ven
cradle ngrfcllturat ia now u yoars Of nge, md
his whole life hnB beou Bpont in earHeat study Of

LcnRt1a.
From the San Ffdnctsco Htt{teffu
mo ahtp Lebu arrived ut this port from Liv-
orpool yostordny, after q passage Of 19O days
tho following narrative Of some worry remarkable
phenomena, which wero observed while tho shin
was on tho equator, in the Atlantic, Ia obtainod
from tho lips of her Captain:
Capt. MoKenzfo Rtntos that Whffo tho Yenaal
WAS crossing tho equator, on tho 9Th Of May, slo
WaB seized By strong eaBterly ourrent, which
continued until she reached latitude degreoH
south. In throo days tho vossel wss carried 240
miles due enst. During this time thero were
worry light northwest winds and caims. Such q
current ia very rare In that latitudo, and Capt.
MoKonzio says that Le has mover before
experienced It in tho whole course Of his sea-
life. On the 18th Of May, about 10 O'Clock In
tho foronoon, aud while tho current was still
running, heayy and confused aoa began to
atriko the ship on oil sides. The rain WIS pour
ing In tor1onta at thls time, and continued to do
so at intervals during the day., The water from
tho pumpa was found on examination to DO very
temperature to be 81 degrees. Water ton feet
below tho surface had temperature Of 10 do
groos. Tho Captain at once surmisod tho CAUSE
OF tho phonomona to bo volcanic eruption, and
subsequent occnrrencoa proved that bis sutmiso
Waa correct. Tho air was at first very oloso and
sultry, and not Q breath Of wind waa stirring,
1t waR noticed that tho current had suddenly
ceasod running. Soon tho wind began to blow
IN strong gusts all around the cotnpnBH, md
what botweon tho running Boa nnd tho heavy
wind: the yoaaol was kept spinning round aud
round. Tho barometer stood very steady at 20
degrees, minutes. Everybody was on deck
wondering what would como next, but affairs
remained in about tho Banlo condition until 6
o'clock in tho evening, when a loud, rushing
nolHo was heard in tho afr right ovcr their
hoads, instantly followed BY q very heavy squall.
Tho noiBe was not oyor a hatf-minuto In lura-
ton, but it s described us being terrific while it
lasted. Tho Captain cannot say from what quar-
tor tho sQual1 ca1no; it soomed to him to strike
tho ship on both sides at onco. Everything WAS
III confusion, but the Captain had tho presence
Of mind to order tho sails lowered, and the ship
was soon all snug under throe lower topsails.
The sauall did not last long, but settled into a
strong galo from tho woat-southwest. In fow
minutes the torriblo noise WAS again hoard, but
this tio 1t did not excite tho fright that it did at
first: Tho hoavous wero partially obacurod bv
light raiu-clouds. Presently tho confused run
ming Of the sea coased, and tho slip soudded be-
foro the gala. At II o'clock in tho evening tho
gallo had subsfdod and all waa quiet. During tho
heaviest Of the wind and rain, large numbers Of
small fish wore showered upon tho dock. The
rushing noise, which waa tito most noticeable
feature Of tho phenomena, Captain Mackenzie
describes as not ut all resembling thunder but
sooming rather 10 be caused by D oommotion TN
dor tho Watete.
