this in the case of callas and such
plans as require great deal of wa

plants. A great many persons per.
sist in watering plants every day,
whether it is needed or not. In
this way the soil becomes heavy and
sour, and the plant diseased. Al.
ways use water moderately warm.
Agricultural fairs should be ad.
vanced schools for farmers, mechan'
les, and artisans. They should go
there to know what aud how their
neighbors are doing. Scan every
new object, plan or device. And
then go home and wrestle with intent
thought to devise something better
and finer for another year. This is
the kind of opportunities fairs should
furnish. And this is the lesson
which should be improved, and in
this way the world should be elevat-
ed. And farmer or mechanic
who does not view fair in this light
does not grasp the Importance of

Holland is promptly moving in the
suppression of contagious diseases
there. Not only has an edlct been
promulgated for the suppression Of
pneumonia, but the symptoms are
clearly made known and incubation
is urged. For animals attacked with
virulent disease, upon a proper dec
laration by the veterinary inspector,
the animal is slaughtered and full
compensation is rendered to the
owner. In England the measures
for the suppression OF contagious dis
eases have long been most strict.
Lately an entire herd c( fat cattle,
worth Sl25 each, and numbering "A
head, were ordered slaughtered by
the authorities from the outbreak Of
the disease among them.
JuTE CULTuRE.--lt is said there
are 100000 acres of land in India
devoted to jute culture. One fac
tory near Calcutta employs 4,5OO op'
era,ives in the manufacture of this
fiber. AT Dundee, Scotland, there
are jute mills employing 10000 op'
eratlves. The difficulty in jute cul
ture is in the cost Of preparing the
fiber. So far this has yet been only
accomplished by laborous hand
work. The cheap labor of India
thus has a monopoly of the business.
Large rewards have been offered by
the Indian government Tor some
cheap and feasible plan for reducing
the fiber. When this is accom-
plished, improved agriculture will
enable us to make this one of the
leading productions of the South,
and improved machinery will enable
it to be as cheapIy manufactured.
To grow and bloom roses in winter
thew must be planted in clean pots,
with good, rich soil, mellow and fri
able. That made from old, decom-
posed sods, mixed with old and thor,
ougbly rotted manure, is best; fresh
manure is very injurious. They
should have regular heat and moder-
ate moisture. The temperature may
range from 40 to As degrees at night,
and from 6Oto 20 degrees i'll day
time. The plants should have plenty
of sunshine, the early morning sun
being most desirable; they should
be sprinkled frequently with blood
warm water. The leaves should be
clean and bright, since dust is injur'
ious to the health of roses. II
