Why Barney was Retained.

A firm dealing largely in coal in one of
our citics--not Philadelphia of coursc-had
in their service an Irishman named Barney.
One day the head Of the firm, irritated be-
yond endurance at one Of Baney's blunders,
told him to go to the Office and get his pay,
and added, "You are 50 thckhcaded can t
teach you anything"
"Begorra," says Barney, 81 larnt wan
thing since I've been wild ye!"
"What's that?" asked his employer.
"That siyinteen hundred made tom

OARS AND Peas FOR Day FoDDER.-We
have never attempted to produce a crop
aside from hay-:hat gives better satisfaction
as fodder for smich cows, than oats and peas
crown together. We have frequently
ploughed piece Of poor meadow, or of in
feror pasture land, in the spring of the
year, sowed two bushels of oats and two of
peas per acre, narrowed the seed in thor
oughly, cut the crops when the oats We're in
the milk state, cared it as hay is made, and
the yield was seldom less than three tons Of
superb fodder per acre. The past week we
have ploughed several acres, and put in
about two bushels Of Canada peas and Two
bushels of the ProoSter oats, sowed evenly
and narrowed in. If the seed could have
been put in with grain drill the crop would
be heavier. The oats hold the peas erect,
50 that the vines are clean and bright when
cut, and full of succulent material for feed
ing mich COWS, or any other stock.
Almost everybody is writing about Alfal-
ia or Lucerne, and recommending farmers
to raise crop. Several young writers who
never saw Alfalfa or the seed Of Lucerne,
and who never attempted to raise crop Of
it, are exceedingly Jealous in their COM
mendations of such crop. Alfalfa must
have rich ground, or it makes a sorry APP
pearance oats and peas yield Il bountilul
crop of dry fodder on moderately fertile
land. They should he put in together any
! time in May ~ Jun>.

AGRICULTURAL.


KITCHEN GAEDEN.-Sach Of the harder
vegetables as were sown last month will now
be growing, and should be kept free from
weeds, and, ~ soon a. large enough, thinned.
In most localities all the varieties of vegeta-
blcs, except, perhaps, tomatoes and egg
plants, may be planted in the open ground
now.
ASparu1us.-D5 not cut until the plants
are two years CID, and if they can be left
until three all the better for the future of
the bed. Set new beds now.
Beans-Do not plant until all danger
from frost is over; then plant in rows three
feet apart LimaS started on sJds under
glass may be set out when cool nights are
over; and when the ground becomes dry and
warm seeds may be put in.
BcaS.-Thin ont the early paintings and
keep carefully hord; the trimmings make
greens, preferred BY many to spinach.
Plant for Il succession.
Cnjbayes, broccoli. caui.i,wcr, etc, all
need the same general treatment when
young. Set out early plants from the hot
bed or frame, and keep well hocd. Sow for
late crops in the open ground
CatrofS.-Sow the main crop when the
soil i warm, and keep clean from the start
or the weeds will soon exceed the carrots in
size. and the crop be injured.
Cdpy.-Sow seeds, ii not already done,
in open ground.
Corn.-plant, a. soon As all danger of
frost i, over, in drills, three and a bali to
four feet apart. Plant every week OF ten
days for a succession.
Plants started on pieces of
sod may be set in the open ground. and
covered at night with frame or even a
paper 10 prevent their becoming chilled.
Sow seed, in open ground as soon as warm,
and dust when up with plaster or ashes to
prevent the ''baG>" from working on them.
Egg PldHtS.-Do not set out until cool
nights are over, and the ground becomes
thoroughly warmed; then set in rich soil,
two feet apart each way
Lctwcs. the soil around early-set
plants loose and free from weeds. Set out
new beds and SOW seed for Il later crop
Me|ons require the same treatment rs Gu
cumbcrs. When growing well give liquid
manure once or twice Il week.
OnionS should have been sown last month
to insure a good crop. Weed as soon as up
and keep the soil stirred often. Ashes

A Yankee Monarch.

An American named peaSe has quietly
taken possession Of an island in the Pacific,
where he has raised the American flag. The
island is one Of the BONN group of which
the Snn Francisco Bulletin says "They
were uninhabited until 1926, when settle
ment was made by some sailors. In 1858
Commodore Perry recommended them as an
available depot for the steamer. which he
thought would some day ply between Japan
and California. Subsequently Peasc visited
the islands, and took possession Of the larg-
est, called Peel Island. He commenced
raising sheep, and has become prosperous
by trading them off to Japan. Mr.. peaSc,
who is flying the Stars and Stripes, is ready
to make a formal surrender of his right,
title and interest to the people Of the United
States for a suitable sideration-amount
not stated. 1t is not known whether Japan
assumes any sovereignty over the BONN
islands, but it is intimatcd if the United
States desire them no objection would be
raised by that Government.

PERUVIAN GCANo.-rhc extent and value
of the @uano deposits Of Peru have for some
time past been made the subject of much
controversy. 1t is therefore satisfactory to
know that the Peruvian Government havo
resolved to have The guano, on the MAIN
land and the adjoining Islands, surveyed by
a competent commission, and specimens of
different deposits yaluel, 50 that some trust
worthy conclusion may bp arrived at as to
the exact value Of this valuable product cx-
istcnt in the Republic. The guano, we
need scarcely say, is sccIrity for tie inter-
est on the Peruvian bonds, and there can
be little doubt that many Of the rumors set
aoat as to the SmaIneaS of the deposits
have emanatcd from parties interested in
"bulling' such bond. 1t is to be hoped
that the contradictory reports set agoing for
speculative purposes will shortly be set at
rest by the result of the exploration now
being instituted. We mast not, however,
lose sight Of the fact that former estimates
made in Peru at the instance of the Govern
ment have turned ont ialiacious. For in
stance, in 1853 the amount of guano in the
Chincha Islands WAS estimated at $4,000
600 tons, but the actual amount shipped
from this source from that time up to the
end Of 1871, when the islands were cleared,
was only about 7,250,000 tons. Such a
vast difference can scarcely be satisfactorily
accounted for, and, to put it mildly, we
trust that more careful observations will
be taken as basis for the next estimate.
