Hints About Water.

No water that has stood in open
vessels during the night should be
used for drinking or cooking. BY
exposure to the air it has lost its
'aeration,' and has absorbed many Of
the dust germs floating in the apart
ment. If convenience requires water
to be kept in vessels several hours
before use, it should be covered. I'M
less the vessels are tight. Wher-
ever practical, all distributing reser-
voirs should be covered. F'iltering
always adds to the purity of water.
Drinking water should not be taken
from lakes or rivers on a low level.
Surface water or water in lakes,
pooIs or rivers which receives the sur
face wash, should be avoided as much
as possible. Do not drink much wa
ter at q time. More than two tumb
lers full should not be taken at
meal. Do not drink between meals
unless to quench thirst, as excess
of water weakens the gastric juice
and oyerwork the kidneys. Exces-
sive potations, whether Of water or
other fluid, relax the stomach, impair
its seoretions and paralyze its move
ments. BY drinking little at a time
the injury is avoided

few feet but could not scare them off.
We had the benefit of two good
showers on us that day and after
pulling twenty miles we camped at
Jake Smiths bluff early in the after
noon. We put out some lines and
soon had fish enough for supper and
breakfast. We rolled our duck,
feathers and all, in mud, and covered
it with fire, and when cooked, we
found it to be delicious. AS soon as
the sun went down the mosquitoes
began to swarm around us, but be-
ing provided with portable bar we
passed comfortable night in spite
OF the concert they kept up around
it. We left early next morning.
Near the st. Johns we found lettuce
bed half a mile through, which we
struggled in half an hour or so. At
last we came in sight of st. Johns,
the little mail boat, Pastime, was
beautifully steaming up the river, and
passed just before we entered it. Co
ing across where Capt. Lous was
building wharf for the Wekiva
freight, we learned that the Dsvid

on, had not come up, and there was
nothing for me to do but wait all day
for the Hattie. In the afternoon the

We had pleasant lot of passengers
down. The gentlemanly officers,

and regard for the comfort Of their
and thanks to their kind
ness, we had a most delightful trip
down the noble old St. Johns.

1t is to be hoped that some compila-

be had of the state of agriculture
over the world. 1t is not necessary
to weight these coming official doc

the possible future. The Congress
did not touch upon the systems of

word, of a state. Now these are

AN ORANGE COUNTY CORES

Seating ourselves in our little row
boat, my brother and I pushed out
from Montrose Spring, which is so
beautifully situated on the banks of
the Wekiva, in the rapidly growing
settlement Of Altamonte, in Orange
county. and glided down the stream.
1t was one of July's freshest and love-
liest mornings. The clouds, hang
ing low, were fast drifting from the
Atlantic, ready at any moment to
form in one black mass, and pour out
their suspended waters upon us.
The river looked its prettiest bound
ed by its semi tropical shores, where
the graceful cabbage palm mingled
its foliage with evergreens of many
kinds. The water was nearly as
clear as crysta5 aud as we fioated
we could look down into its depths
and see countless numbers of the fin
ny tribe playing around. The bot

grass was growing, whose ends came
up to the surface no matter how deep
the water was; in others, MOSES
were waving, whose beauty was lost
the moment they were pulled up.
Here and there were large patches OF
bonnet lilies, whose large leaves lay
on the water, field of green; one
large patch has the express We name
of "fddlers green" In still places
the queer little water lettuce was
growing, which, as the plants grow
larger, push themselves over and out
into the current, then drift on down
into some narrow, still place and bed
over the water, and become the dread
OF the boatmen, on small craft.
There were but few birds on the
river. Limpkins were very scarce.
n few years ago they were very
plentiful, but have been hunted too
much. They now seldom made their
peculiar cry We were much anus
ed at one old blue heron; he would
choose his perch upon the tallest tree
and upon the approach Of the boat he
would lift himself gracefully upon
his broad wings and seek another
farther down. We followed him so
far that he concluded we were going
all the way, and decided to leave u.s.

Agriculture can never be other
than in . progressive condition
There must beno sitting still, as with
the Egyptians Of old. To succeed,
the agriculturiat must work hard,
possess a great spirit of order and
a perseverance, that will never fail.
Even these qualities do not always
lead to success. To intelligence must
be added capital, and it Is not so
much the amount Of the latter that is
required. as it is judicious spplica-
ton. Farming is becoming an in

the watch for improvements to ches D

In France, for example, the road to
success lies in . mixed system of oul-
ture; that is, where the rearing of
stock will enteras an important factor.

ton of cattle implies an increased

for meat is greater than the supply,
while the price Of grain, owing to
its greater facility of transport, must
remain at sonoet hing like a common
average. PerLs os the same remarks
will apply in 9 elatiVe sense to hay.

Liebeg's Extract dominates the mark

tralia could place in the French mark

that only twenty-five days were re-
quired to ship 1T from New South
Wales to this country. People who
are aware that letters take about six
ty days to reach US, and that Austria
liam mutton is only to be had for
twenty eight sous a pound, may be
excused for smiling at the prospect.
The fact is, the meat does not reach
ue, either in the shape of live bullocks,
or tirs, below butchers prices. just
now Paris groceries are stocked with
canned American meats-Australia
does not show. The lowest priced
can OF two pounds, costs two francs
and fifty centimes. The labels are

AT Molenbeck, III Belgium, an ex-
oelIent practice has been iuaugura-
ted by the local agricultural society.
1t delegated a commission to exam
inc the pupils and teachers on agri.
cultural subjects, as taught in the
primary school. The examination
was public; each teacher was Judged
by his giving lecture to his pupils,
and the latter are tested by series
of written questions.
Farmers in the South of France
and Italy, are commencing to EN-
ploy the caronbier for feeding pur-
poses. This leguminous plant has
been ever a favorite aliment for
mules and horses. M. Cheorm has
analysed the fruit he finds it very
rich in sugar and poor in nitrogen,
and hence, ought to be given mixed
with oil cake. In Arabia, during

In the feeding of CATTLE the en-
ployrnent Of preserved green food in

feasibility and efficiency the plan en-
ables him to keep more stock, and

tice is becoming very general, and
any fodder, no matter when cut, can
be successfully preserved, and in a
sense indefinitely, while the plan Is
very suitable for dry climates, the
northern regions have found kind
of counterpart in the employment Of
beet pulp, excellent for tatteninG, as
for feeding. On the industrial side
of agriculture, thanks to the Pas

same, however, cannot be said re-
