Uo,c CoTee is Cuttirated.

It will. we are sure, interest our
readers to know how coffee is cultiva-
ted. A German gentleman, writing
from Costa Rica, one of the Central
American States, tells how it is done
there. The hint about deep roofing
will be Of help to those Of our readers
who are trying to get trees to grow in
the dry regions Of Colorado and West
ern Kansas:
The method of cultiyating the coffee
tree here differs from that practised in
any other country. and the results
prove that il is rational method.
The ground consists of the great cen
trail mountain plains. the only regular
" cultivated and Inhabited part of the
Republic: and the soil consists of the
decomposed volcanic rock forming q
cllvev loan mixed with large por-
ton of decayed vegetable matter
The climate is the most regular and
agreeable in the world and the great
est difference between the temperature
of the hottest and coldest dav ut San
Jose, based upon ten years observa-
tions is less than 30 degrees Fahren-
heit The mean temperature for 1879
was about 90 degrees. From the be-
ginning of Nav until the end of Octo-
Der it rains almost daily, and from the
middle Of December to the middle OF
April only exceptionally.
Jt IS the practice to raise the coffee
trees from seed because the tap root
Of the Seeding penetrates the soil to a
considerable depth, and enables the
tree to withstand the dry season with
out injury They are planted i'll rows,
iuterspclscd with bananas for shade
during the first two years growth
Between The rows are shallow bitches,
and the greatest care is exercised i'll
keeping the weeds under, and the re-
moval of cpiphytical and parasitical
plants Labor is very dear, and,
therefore, the cost of production is
rather high, Nevertheless the clear
profit, after all expenses have been
paid, including tending the plants dur
ing the first thee years, fuctuates be-
tween 30 and % per cent. This is in
the most favorable localities, on the
plateaus at an elevation of between
1000 and 1000 feet The quality of
the coffee leaves nothing TO be desired
and Is is greatly in request in England
and America for its fine aromatic
flavor.

BROKEN LEGGED HoRsEs.-It now
argued that it is unnecessary to kill
broken legged horses, and case in
point is stated:
Twelve weeks ago the nigh hind leg
was broken Off Mr.. Williams valuable
and favorite mare, in Utica, by kick
from another horse The fracture was
half way between the fetlock and the
gambler joints, and was complete. A
veterinary surgeon undertook to set
She leg. a canvas sling was arranged
and the mare suspended in it in such a
way that she could rest her uniniured
limbs. The fractured leg was then set
bound with hickory and leather splits,
with a heavy leathcn boot outside of
all. The mare did well and never
missed a meal. a fter three weeks a
plaster Of Paris bandage was substitu-
ted, and in seven weeks Nellie was
walking around the stable. There was
no Sign of the fracture, and it is thought
that she will keep her 2:40 gait.-N

Ultkiag Le0Ues Of australia.

Almost every body has heard OF the
walking leaves of Australia For
long time after the discovery of that
island many people really believed that
the leaves of a certain tree winch
flourished there could walk about the
ground. The story arose in this way:
Some English sailors landed upon
the coast one day, and after roaming
about till they were tired, sat down
under I, tree to rest themselves. "A
puff of wind came along and blew off
= shower of .aves, which after turn
inc over and over in the air, as leaves
generally do, finally rested upon the
ground. As it was midsummer and
everything appeared quite green, the
circumstance puzzled the sailors con-
siderably But the surprise was much
greater, as you may well suppose,
when, after a short time they saw the
leaves crawling along on the ground
toward the trunk of the tree. They
ran at once for 3heir vessel, without
stopping to examine into the matter
at al, and set sail away from the land
where everything seemed to be be
witched One of the men said that
he expected every moment to see the
trees set and dance jig" Subsequent
explorations of Australia have taught
us that these walking leaves ars Insects.
They live upon the trees. Their bod
les are very thin and fat, their wings
forming large leaf like organs. When
they are disturbed, their legs arc fold
eel away under their bodies, leaving
the shape exactly like a leaf with its
s5em and all complete. They are of a
bright green color in the summer, but
they gradually change in the fall, with
the leaves, to the brown Of frost bitten
vegetation. When shaken from the
trees, they lie for a few minutes upon
the ground, as though they were dead,
but presently they begin to crawl
along toward the tree, which they as
cend again. They rarely use their
wings, although they arc we'll supplied
in this respect.

THE TALES TAILS TELL.-There is
good deal of expression in tails. n
cat when excited has her tail bent
toward the ground and quiet; but
when the animal is under lively emo
ton, the tail shows movements which
are not of chance character, but pre-
determined by nature-such and such
an emotion causing such and such a
movement. When the cat feels afraid
when seized for example, by the neck,
the tail goes down between her legs
On sight of an agreeable morsel of
meat, the tail is raised straight up
When angry, the cat bends her tail
into two curves of opposite directions
the greater curve at the base, the
lesser at the Xtremity-while the fur
i erect throughout. When on the
alert for prey, she lashes her tail from
side to side. On the other hand the
dog wags his tail to testify joy while
(as with the caO fear SENDS it down
between his legs. We all are familiar
again, with the comical appearance OF
Il herd of cattle, driven to despair by
insects, ru5frfHG about field on a hot
day with their tufted tails erect rs
poSts' DR. john Brown, in one of his
Macy sketches, tells of a dog of his
whose tail hal a peculiar kind of ex-
pressiyeness. This tail of Tobv's was
"a tail per- Sc; IT was Of immense girth
and not short equal throughout like a
policeman's baton; the machinery for
working it was Of great power, and
acted in a way, as far as | have been
able to discover, quite original We
called it his ruler. When he wished
to get into the house, he first whined
gently, then growled, then gave a
sharp bark, and then came a resound
inc mighty stroke, which shook the
house. This, after much study and
watching, we found was done by his
bringing the entire length of his solid
tail fat upon the door with Il sudden
and vigorous stroke. 1t was quite Z
tOUl' d. farce or coup de queue, and
he was perfect in it at once, his first
bang auth oritative having been as
mastery and telling as his last"

THE BEST MARKET FOR CoRN-As 5
4 general rule, the best market for corn
Is undoubtedly the stall and pig sty.
Yet there are exceptional cases when
grain may be sold with advantage
But when it is best to sell it, and when
to feed it on the farm, depends on the
price Of the grain, the price of meat,
butter, cheese, or wool, the value of
the manure Oh each particular farm,
and OF what il would cost to buy the
manure in the case Of pigs. seven
bushels of corn, fed properly, will
give, on an average, one hundred
pounds Of increase i'll the live weight
The manure from this corn is worth
twenty cents for each of the seven
bushels. When, therefore, ordinary
PIGS are worth seven cents a pound or
over. live wei eht, it is clearly better,
even at the lowest price for the pork
To iced your corn to the pigs than to
sell it at a dollar per bushel Finally
IL is true that none of the other do
mcstic animals viii gain as fast in pro-
portion TO the food consumed as a
well-fed pig.
