As regards however the other views set

be greatly mistaken if it is not within the
experience of many planters that able
hands often sbirk the estates work. not in
order to avoid the exertion. but for the sake
of additional earnings by as hard work on a
plot of ground-some times far enough
away-which they cultivate as their provi-
sion ground :; which fact seems to prove,
that the prospect of earning more than the
scant daily wages, is not devoid of attrac-
ton for the field laborer. And since ON
some estates the cultivation VIGOROUSLY is
founded on a distribution of labor entirely
Or partially foreign to the Regulations, it

LITTLE Jerry. TIE MILLER.
~ JOHN c. SAKE.

Beneath the hill you may see the rain
OF wasting wood and erumblng stone;
The wheel IS dripping and Gathering still,
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone.
Year after year, early and late,
Alike in summer and winter weather,
He pecked the stone and baked the gate,
And mill and miller grew old together.
Little Jerry :" twas all the same
They loved him wei who called him 50
And whether he'd ever another name,
Nobody ever seemed to know.
Twas 'sLittle Jerry, come grind nay rye;"
And 4" Little Jerry, come grind my wheat /;
And "Little Jerry " was still the cry,
From metron bold and maiden sweet.
Twas little Jerry" on every tongue,
And thus the simple truth was told
For Jerry was little when he was young,
And he was little when he was old.
But what in size he CHANGED to lack,
jerry made up III being strong;
I've seen sack upon his back,
As thick as the miller and quite as long.
Always busy and always merry,
Always doing his very best,
notable wag was little Jerry,
Who uttered well his standing jest.
"wheu viii you grind my corn, 7 say2"
Nay" quOth Jerry. 'Eyou needn't scOld
just leave your grist for half day,
And never fear but youu be tolled."
How Jerry lived is known to fame,
But how he died there's none may know
One autumn day the rumOr came
" The brook and Jerry are very low"
And then twas whispered mOurnfuIly,
The leech had come and he was dead,
And all the neighbors hocked to see;
Poor little Jerry was all they said.
They laid him il his earthly bed
His miuer's coat his only shroud-
" Dust to dust, - the parson said,
And the people wept aloud.
For he had summed the deadly sin,
And not a grain of over-tol
Had ever popped into his bin,
To weigh upon his parting soul.
Beneath the hill there stands the mill
OF wasting wood and crumbling stone;
The wheel is dripping and gathering STILL
But Jerry, the miller, is dead and gone

Agricultural.
Hints to Farmers.

Early IN the spring go over the pas
lures and meadows and scatter the drop
pings of horses and cattle, the value of
the manure is increased three-fo1d there
by.
Profit in keeping stock, comes from
the food digested and assimiIated in ex-
cess of what is required to support
vitality, and the more we can get a
single animal to digest and assimilate,
and therefore convert into the desert
product, the greater profit.
A Boston professor claims to have
found that a drink of ice-cold water taken
by COW, or drafts of cold air allowed
to blow upon her when in the stable,
cuts short the yield of milk at least a
quart day, and that the effect extends
for more than week.
A correspondentsay I believe the
best fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of
industry, enterprise and intelligence,
and without these no man can be snc-
cessful. I believe that a man who is
not smart enough to enter the COM
mercial world, is not smart enough to
run farm" We should guess the
writer had not travelled much, while
every one knows that all farmers should
be educated and cultivated. It is a
fact that every State has a host of veal
thy farmers who can scarcely read OF
write.
1t is claimed that one hundred meri 10
sheep, with plenty of bedding, will,
during the ordin~ry feeding time in
winter, produce about forty-two horse
wagon loads of manure, which is fan
more valuable as a fertilizer than that
of either horses or COWS.
Husbandmen should bear in mind the
fact that, while sudden wealth is rarely
acquired in farming, neither, viii great
or sudden losses be met with.

The TarantuIa.

This species of spider is very album
dant on the southwestern frontier,
where it is more dreaded even than the
American rattlesnake, which also
fourishes there in great numbers. In
this region the trantula grows to the
size of half a large walnut, being thick
and rounded something like the half
she'll Provided with eight legs, and
covered with long hair, it is described
as ugly and disgusting in the last de-
gree. This is an enemy, against whom
none can guard, and for whose bite no
remedy has been discovered. Such
alarm do they inspire, thai have known
a large party of men who had camped
out all through a snake country
and through the midst of hostile Indi-
ans, driven from a desirable position by
discovering that tarantuIas infested the
spot The poison proceeding from their
bite acts as quickly as that of the rattle
snake, and they are much more danger
Gus, because, attracted by light, they
frequently make their way into tents IN
observed by the occupants. Their bite
sometimes causes death, and, even if a
person survives after being bitten, he
never fully RECEIVERS, and is likely to
carry the scar for life.

How to Measure Land.

An Iowa farmer recommends the fol-
lowing device for measuring land. Take
two Stats about six feet long, sharpen
one end of each, lay them upon floor
like pair of open compasses, so that
the points shall be exactly five feet six
inches apart now nail the other
two ends together and piece across
the middle, so that it viii look like the
letter A, and the measure is finished.
To measure land place one point at the
starting place and the other also on the
ground in straight1inef destination
stand alongside the machine with one
hand on top of it; take one step for
ward, tip up the point that is behind,
swing it around (from YOU on the other
point and set it in the line also. A
person in this manner can measure cor
rectly as fast as he can walk-three
spaces make a rod-walk straight with
out stopping, count the spaces, divide
these by three, and you have the rods.

Cabinet of the Sandwich Islands.

The new cabinet of the Sandwich Is
lands is thus described by the CONNER
cial Advertiser of Honolulu: Mr.. Bishop
formerly of Troy, n. Y, who, as min
lister of foreign affairs, may very pro-
perry be considered the head of the
cabinet, Is well known as capitalist
and head of the clearinghouse of
Bishop & Co., long established in this
city. He is a gentleman of refinement
and education, and throughout lengthy
residence on the islands (since 1847, we
believe) he has maintained high char
acter for honor and integrity, combined
with eminent prudence and conserVa-
tism. Mr.. Hall (aIso formerly of Troy,)
who occupies the labOrious post of min
lister of the interior, as a merchant and
a Christian gentleman of wealth and pO-
sition, is deservedly popular with all
classes, both natives and foreigners.
He is a resident of many years in the
islands, having arrived here in 1885, be
ing at that time connected with the
missionary board of Boston, and at one
period held office under the government
of Kamehameha H. Like Mr.. Bishop,
he is a person of the highest moral
character, and noted for the qualities of
prudence and conservatism. OF Mr.
| Sterling, Ga Scotchman by birth, who
retains the position of minister of f.
nance. to which he was advanced a few
months previous to the close of the late
reign, we had occasion to speak in
| terms of commentator at that time.
| We know of no cause no to detract
from the good opinion then entertained
of him as a careful and safe public Off
Ger, who stands well in the public con-
fdenee. Mr.. A Francis Judd (who
was born on the islands, of American
parents, and educated at Yale college
and Harvard law school, } who has been
called from the bar and from his seat as
a representative for Honolulu to fill the
! high and responsible Office of attorney
! general of. the kingdom, is as yet COM
| paratively young man-which fact, so
far as we aan judge, is about the prin-
| cipal fault that can be found with him,
at present. He is literally educated,
industrious and talented, is familiar
with the native language and character,
and has obtained a large practice al d
earned good reputation as a lawyer
during the eight years he has practiced
in the courts of the country. While it
would be neither courteous nor just to
criticise closely in advance the political
merits of the gentlemen who have just
taken Office, it is only stating a fact
when we assert that the general impress
sion is one of disappointment at what
may be termed the extremely cOnserva-
tive complexion of the cabinet

A Remarkable Flower.

A flower has been recently described
by an eyewitness at Constantinople,
which is so great a rarity that one is apt
to treat it as a fable and wait for the
confirmation of ones own eyesight. 1t
belongs the narcissus kind of bulbs,
and bears the botanic name Of cphyrs
mouche. There were three naked flow
ers on the stalk hanging on one side !;
the underneath one was fading, while
the two others were In all their beauty.
They represented a perfect humming-
bird. The breast, of bright emerald'
green, is a complete copy of this bird,
and the throat, head, beak and eyes are
a most perfect imitation. The hinder
part OF. the body and the two outstretched
wings are of a bright rose color. one
might almost say flesh coIored. On the
abdomen rests the whole propagation
apparatus, of a deep bark brown tint,
in the form of twO-winged gad-fy.

Fattening Cattle Quickly or Slowly.

There appears no room for question
ing the fact that an animal fattened
quickly makes finer eating than an animal
which has been fattened slowly, or which
has remained fat for some time. The
meat in such cases is sweeter and jucier,
but whether it possesses any more nutri-
ment is not quite so clear. There are
many people who have had the privilege
of partaking of the flesh ofprize animals,
which had been maintained in high con-
dition for q long time, and they have
generally reported the flesh as hard and
tough and probably they did not Judge
it as harshly as they would have done
had they purchased the same ''cut''
from the nearest butchers stall.
Aside from the matter of quality, there
is a question of economy which is well
worth considering. An animal requires
certain amount of food daily to sustain
life and supply heat and waste oftissues.
1t is only the excess of food over these
requirements of nature which goes to
make fat or increase flesh. A great
deal more food viii be required to make
one hundred ponds increase in the
weight of an animal, if thirty days are
taken for it, than if the feeding opera
tons are confined to twenty days, and
so on. There is where many make a
grave mistake. Animals in course of
preparation for the shambles shouldnot
be stintod in food. They should be
fed on all they viii eat and assimilate
properly. And the more an animal viii
eat and properly assimilate in a given
time, the more profitable he viii be for
feeding purposes, other things being
equal. The money IN feeding is all
made forcing" animals to the utmost,
whenever their preparation for the
shambles has been once undertaken.
