Of the experiments begun in 1870 by the
Maine Agricultural College to ascertain
which has the greatest value as food
for swine, cooked or uncooked meal,
says: We have, by an experiment
which has been continued from three to
four months of each of the nine. years
since its beginning, obtained evidence
that all the money and labor expended
in cooking meal for swine is more than
thrown away"

There are wet lands ON most farm

There are wet lands ON most farms
that would be greatly improved by
draining; and now is the time when
farmers are most at liberty to attend to
such matters. Labor, too, is apt to be
cheapest now. Improve your land or
sell it. Do not keep worthless land that
is bringing you no interest for your
money. Aim to clear and improve some
field each year. If rightly done, it will
pay you the next year ten per cent. on
the sum invested = Douer State Press.

DR.. Nichols says, in the Journal q
Chemistry: 1t is, under ordinary con-
ditions, advisable and advantageous to
plant corn for fodder in drills, with at
least twenty inches space between, SO
that air and sunlight can have free ac-
cess to the growing plants; but it is not
good husbandry to SOW thickly broadcast.
Plants depend for healthy growth and
nutrition upon actinic light and heat,
and upon access of air. Any plant

The R,oul Nep- Yorker says that valu-
able grape vines, planted with great care,
are often left to take care of themselves
at this season Of the year-when they
need care most. For the first two years
good stout stake, say six feet long, is
all that is necessary for support. This
should be firmly set in the ground, and
the vines kept tied to it. Should other
shoots start from the old wood, rub
them off and keep lateral shoots pinched
back to one or two leaves. Remove all
injurious insects by hand, and dust with
-four of sui phur should mildew appear.

There is as vast difference between
the tidy and untidy farmers as between
the careful and careless housewife. A
glance at farm as you are riding along
will betray the character of its owner.
A farm needs its fall as well as its spring
cleaning. Cut down and burn all I'M
slightly bushes that have been allowed to
grow around stumps and along fences.
Besides detracting from the appearance
of field, they take from the soil what
is needed for crops. Now that the grass
is short, remove stones from moving
lands. You will thus save scythes and
moving machine knives next year.

The question Of the density Of population
that country can maintain, the number Of
persons it can support to the square mile,
promises to be soon solved in Europe The
most densely populated country In Europe IS
Saxony, where the population Is 476 to the
square mile. A majority of these people
however, are engaged in mining, manufac-
lures and other industries. Belgium is bet
ter test Of the question how thick popula-
ton the land can feed. That kingdom Is pop
ulated throughout at the rate OF 46S to the
square mile. In Flanders, a largely agricul-
tural country, this rises to 1872 per square
mile, and in the reimbursement OF Charlero
purely agricultural section, it is 1900 to the
square mile. The average size of farms in
Flanders is only four-tifths Of an acre, almost
every farmer working his own land. AS the
population of every reimbursement in Bel
GUM shows an increase by the last census, it
is evident that the maximum of population
that the land can support must very soon be
reached
A similar density of population is TO be
found in this continent in the case of the
English island of Barbados. That island is
devoted entirely to agriculture, principally

London. Sept. 23.-A dispatch from
Ragoon says it 10 generally believed that
orders have been sent to the acting resident
at Mardalay, Burmah, TO leave with his
party e soon e. he can without betraying
undigniaed haste or an appearance of fear.
This measure will give general satisfaction
a. no intercourse now exists between the
residency and the Burmese court, without
running any risk, for the acting resident
has not been treated with more discoprtesy
than shown to the resident, but the ordinary
civilities and attentions due representa-
tive of the British government, been stu.
diously withheld, and his presence had no
effect in checking the cruelties still practi-
ced by the court. 1t is just possible the
acting resident may think it less dangerous
to remain quietly than to leave, but it is
not probable. The actual risk to mem
bers of the residency is only slight, still
some. risk is inevitable as'long as the king
continues his. drinking orgies surrounded

foreigners. The king dislikes having
foreigners near him. Everything is re
ported quiet at Mardalay, although tn

FAST Locomo1loN.


A locomotive engineer has been telling =
reporter of the Sun that he had his doubts
whether locomotive can travel at the rate
of mile minute. This information was
given by an engineer on the Erie road. He
is evidently unfamiliar with the speed Of To-
comotives. On the New York Central and
on the Rensselaer, and Saratoga roads it is
no uncommon thing for a locomotive to run
at the rate ofa mile a minute. and not q
great while ago the locomotive Saratoga,
the Saratoga express, ran mile in fifty-one
seconds. The locomotive has frequently
run from Saratoga to Troy, ,thirty-two miles,
in thirty-fve minutes, which, taking into
consideration three places on the route
where the speed must be reduced to six
mile an hour. Running a mile minute
ia nothing astonishing.
