Farming in Holland.


The trade of Holland is chiefly con-
fined to agricultural products and fish.
The wide pastures of the island of
Tcxcl feed 1000 horned ca. lie, 1 200
horses, and 10000 sheep ."hich are
celebrated throughout Europe. Every
year $1,000 of the last are exported,
and the quarterly fair is very pic
turesquc, when these focks of sheep
and lambs are shipped off to the con-
tinent. Through the basins of Har-
lingen, the port of Friesland, pass oxen
and sheep, pigs and fowl, with noun
tains of cheese, fruits and eggs for this
country; here resort the provision
dealers of London, to carry away but
ter barrels, which are piled up on the
docks like cannon balls in an arsenal.
The canals arc filed with heavy look
ing tails, or market beats, which bring
the good things of the county down
to the port. Flax is very i'm ortant
article of cultivation in Friesland; the
market of Dokkum is one of the
largest in Europe. The chief houses

RELATIONS BETWEEN CHENTIsTY
AND THERAIoTICs.-The study of the
evoluntion of hea i'm chemical combina-
lions is ii new branch of science belong
ing partly to physics and partly to
chemistry, and the number of facts al
ready observed is sufficiently numerous
to indicate Ger ain laws, which are set
forth by Berthelot. He premises that
in the art of producing any chemical
change, the molecules hit sharply
against one another, and give off heat,
just as when hammer strikes Il bar of
iron. From the study of the relations
between the amount of heat and the
amount of work done, it is possible to
establish some theorems of thermo-
chemistry.

BACTERIA AND PUTEEFACTION.-
Arnold Hitler, of Berlin, has made a
series of elaborate experiments with
the view of determining the relations
of bacteria to putrcfactive changes,
and has come to the conclusion that
the whole subject needs to be re-cx-
amincd from the beginning. He has
demonstrated that active putretaction
may take place in the absence of hae-
terra, and tyat bacteria may be present
IN attendance without giving rise TO
putrefaction. In short, it seeIps quite
possible that effect may have been nil
taken of caurse.

New BOYS SUrrs-Boys of two,
three and four years of age are dressed
in kilt suits. Thssc for two-year-oId;;
have the waist and skirt all iii one
piece. AT four years, jackets of ftnci-
full cut are added, to be worn over the
waist. The skirts do not differ mate
rally from those of last season, being
mostly fashioned with II wide box-plait
in front, and kilt plaitings at the sides
and back. For boys of from four to
ten years, knec-pants take the place Of
the skirts, Il vest replaces the waist,
and the jacket becomcsa single-brcastcd
blouse. At ten years, long trousers
are introduced and double breasted
coats Of one style or another Little
boys suits are largely made of plaids,
while dark navy-blue suits and gray
cloths arc popular for lads. Among
the materials specially recommended
are Scotch Cheviots, French diagonals,

TIE BLOOD CURE.-The practice
which came so rapidly and widely in
vogue, of taking for consumption and
other diseases, datts of warm blood,
the moment when extracted from the
calf or OK, has gone into considerable
disusc Of late, on account of dlstastc, in
convenience, and other reasons. DIR.
De Pascale. of Nice, has successfully
adopted substitute in the form of dry
powdered blood. The blood of the ami
NAL, after being dried in a water-bath,
is reduced to very fine powder, and
grated through II seive, and it can thus
be taken for any length of time with
out rcpugnancc, being almost tasteless
can he taken as Il common powder
mixed with soups, milk, marmalade,
or chocolate or inclosed in wafer. Dr.
De Pascale has given it in some eases
mixed with little pepsin. The guam
tity of the powder he varies according
to the patients age, sex, state OF health,
and digestive powers-in general, be
ginning with 80 grains, increasing as
circumstances may dictate.

A VERY ANCIENT WALL IN MIssIs-
sIrPI.-About eighteen miles from Port
Gibson, and one mile from Brandywine
Springs, on the place Of MIR. OQuin,
the existence of Il great number of
blocks Of cut-stone has been known for
i'm indefinite time, and the people in
the neighborhood have them for props
for their houses. Mr.. James Gage,
Jr. went out there a few days ago to cx-
plorc, and had aspccimcn stone brought
into town. 1t is about three feet long
by about twenty inches square, rcsem-
bling in shape bar of soap. 1t is
probably native sandstone. Mr.
Gage took this block himself from he
meath the roots of Il large pine tree
1t formed a portion of a wall about
twenty feet broad on top, Sa1.h Dir.
Gage traced fora distance of25Q CARDS.
The inference that one would naturally
draw from this superficial view is that
this must have been Il city wall, but
deep exploration might show it to be
Il portion of Il fort, temple or other
building. Anyway, its antiquity is
probably immense, ante-dating the his

SCENTED TO KILL.-The Detroit
Free Press says: A Detroit girl picked
up new beau the other evening at
church, and when they reached her
fathers gate he accepted her invitation
to go in. He was pertllmed TO kill,
and it wasn't long before his musk
reached the back room in which the
old folks sat. The old man was heard
stubhing around, muttcring and growl-
ing, and presently he opened the door
and passed out and walked around the
house. He came back after shutting
around for few minutes, and, pound
ing on the parlor door, he inquired:
Evangelinc, where's that piece Of can
dle?' 81 don't know, father; Why"
she inquired iii return. There's a
skunk or something or other under the
addition, and I've got to hunt him out
or we can't live here overnight" The
young man didn't stay long after that.

The planter who has four hundred

He must purchase his provisions, and
ultimately his net profits will be less

We wish we could induce some of
the many planters i'll Tennessee to
to change their manner of cultivation
from planting to farming. Listen-we
hear some say: Why, what is the diff
ferenee?" There is material differ
ence in the practice of the two. The
farmer cultivates the land with care
and attention; the planter gives more
attention to cultivating the crop. The
farmer cnriches his soil by manures and
rotation of crops-a rotation of gener-
ally four years; n planter allows his
soil to become impoverished, and sell
dom rotatcs; if he does it is merely
from cotton to corn, and corn TO cotton
