DOGS AND SHEEP.

Tie Richmond Dispatch says the
grangers in Virginia are increasing
il number and power. They are
understood to be united upon the
dog and sheep question:. e., dogs
or sheepf And they being sensible
men--as the farming community al
ways is--take the right side. Dogs
become daily of less value and sheep
are daily increasing in value. Dogs
were of especial service in clearing
the "varmints" in fox-hunting,
primitive days; but now in one fox
hunt dogs will do more damage to
crops than will all the beasts of
prey, other than themselves in a
year. On the other hand, sheep
are a great element Of wealth.
They furnish the very best food for
the table, and they give US the best
clothing for winter. Shall there be
any doubt which of the two to choose
sheep or dogsf They cannotlive
together in Leace in the same dis
trict. Sheep cannot prosper where
there are dogs. The grangers
know this, and they demand some
degree of abatement Of the dog mus
sance.

there was to be a wedding. Soft
eyes began to dart love chances
around the grange, and difii6ent
bachelors exclaimed that the new
order exceeded their most sanguine
expectations, in providing life part
ners for the faint hearted

RAT POIsON.-The following
method of preparing poison for
rats is said to be more efIectual
than moistening grain with a So
luton Of strychnine: Make a
clear solution of arsenite of pot
ash, by boiling in a large iron
kettle one part of white arsenic,
one of carbonate potash, and
twenty-five Of water. stirring
the whole well together; add
% parts Of water, and introduce
while warm, so parts Of barley,
wheat or oats, stirring frequent
ly during % to So hours; then
heat the grain and stir it with a
paddle until it appears dry ex-
ternally. For use in the house
it may lie adNisal lie to color the
grain by adding 1900 parts Of
liquid fuchsin. Clean the ket-
tie after use by securing with
lime. In most cities, however,
the arsenite of potash can be
obtained ready made, and thus
the trouble and danger of prep
aration is saved.

Pine Apple.

The history of the pine APP
pie dates back for three or four
centuries. Columbus found it
in Gaudaloupe in 1888. The
Javanese cultivated it as early
as 1899, and it is supposed that
it was first brought to Europe
from Java. 1t appears that this
fruit was transplanted from
South America to Asia and At
RIGA, for in 1892 it was carried
TO Bengal and China from that
country. It thrives in Brazil,
and, according to Humboldt,
grows wild in the forest Of the
Orinoco. They spoil very cas-
lily, and sometimes during the
voyage here the whole cargo of
avessel is spoiled. tits consid-
cred a good trip if three-quarters
Of the cargo is in good condition
when Il c vessel arrives. This
depends rot only upon The
length Of the voyage, but also
on the bad weather experienced
thunder showers being partlcu-
larly destructive to them. 1t is
estimated that 100000 pine
apples are brought into this port
annually. The business OF can
ming this fruit is becoming quite
extensive, and likewise profit
able, in this city, and several
firms are engaged in its preTag-
alton, and they put up at least {
million pine apples in cans ey-
cry year.-N. Y. Spectator.
To the above may be added
what will appear strange tc
many, that the finest pine apples
in the world, and the. largest
perhaps, are raised in cold eli
mates, especially in England
1t is one of the fruits the flavor
of which is improved by cult
walton under glass with artifi-
cial heat. Cultivated in this
way, in a pinery, the fruit attains
the weight of twelve pounds and
is free from the fibrOus matter
which characteristics it wher
grown in the open air.
