Which Shall 1t Be, Cattle or Grain

BOTH. A mixed husbandry is safest
for the masses. The South has suffered
from scarcity of meat and milk, and
plethora of corn and cotton. MANY
Minnesota farmer has helped to feed
the East and England, while he has
been destitute of milk for his coffee, or
butter for his superabundant bread. 1t
has been repeatedly shown that those
countries which produce corn and cat
tie most largely, boast higher land
valuation than the great wheat coun-
tries. 1t is not only in Indiana and ILL
nois, but in the new State of Iowa as
well where spring wheat has ever been
a speciality. Taking broad view of
the future requirements for meat and
bread, we see that it is the policy of all
nations (Great Britain alone excepted)
to produce their bread at home. They
dare not risk dependence in so vital a
matter. If bad harvest makes a small
deficiency, it can probably be made
good very abundant harvest may
give small surplus. Meat is
less bulky and will better bear
the expense of transportation; so
the use of meat by European nations
is increasing, and the price has steadily
increased during the past thirty years.
On the contrary, wheat, with Temporal
ry fluctuations, is no higher than in the
long ago. James Card says the cost of
bread in England was a farthing per
pound both in 1770 and 1878, while
meat advanced from three and one-half
to nine pence between 1850 and 1878.
The recent and unprecedented foreign
demand for wheat is the result, in part,
OF series of extraordinary crop failures
which will not permanently continue.
The enlarged demand for meat is in far
higher degree the result of causes more
permanent in their operation. The
outlook for meat is, therefore, better
than for grain. Yet both will be re-
quired, as population increases, in
rapidly enlarging uantities.-Rural

The Kitchen Garden.

FARMERS of moderate means who
grow vegetables and small fruits for
home consumption only are liable in
their jealous promotion of field crons
for the markets to greatly neglect the
kitchen garden. This is not as it should
be, Tor the garden, properly managed,
VIII at trlf1lng expense contribute in
large measure to the health and comfort
OF family. When labor is scarce and
time limited the practice of large mar
ket gardeners of performing much of
the work by horsepower may be imi-
tated with success even in small gar
dens. There are comparatively few
crops that require to be planted in beds.
To these small portion of the garden
can be devoted and the rest laid out for
horse work. This plan saves time in
measuring off and making beds and
plots and admits of free use of pillow.
drill and cultivator. Turning ground at
each end of the rows must of course be
allowed in this arrangement. Occa-
slonal rows of currants, raspberry and
other small fruits may extend across
the garden parallel with the rows of
vegetables.
sunny exposures are given to whatever
delights in heat and sunshine. Under
the partial shade of gooseberry or cur
rant bushes place such growths as thrive
best in the shade. Use equal discrim-
nation in the application of manures.
If there is nothing more to expend on
the garden than stable scrapings, the
refuse from the wood-pile, ashes and
soapsuds, give the alkaline substances
to the crop they suit best and the am
monia where it is most needed.
Where the requirements are for only
a few plants for house use, and there is
no hot-bed, early plants may be grown
in window boxes. Sow the seed in
boxes of light, rich soil and place where
there is moderate warmth and plenty of
sunlight. This insures an earlier and
safer crop in latitudes where there is
danger from late frosts. In sowing the
seeds avoid covering them too deep.
M. V. Bilek, an advocate for growing
cucumbers, beans, peas, caulifiowers
and the like in balls of moss or in order
to gain an early crop, describes the proc
ess as practised in Germany, in for
eign exchange. The seeds are started
~ tA"hl0, "hu "HeH d uGIle grown are
lifted and the roots dipped into a mix
ture of clay, chopped moss, water and
loan, and on withdrawal sprinkled with
firm dry earth. Apiece of moss is then
tlattened into the form of plate and
little earth sprinkled on it. The pre-
pared plants are next placed on this
plate, the moss folded over the roots
and tied on so as to form a ball. Thus
balled up the plants are arranged on
boards or shelves until the season for
removing to the open air comes. The
advantages claimed for this somewhat
elaborate process are the porousness of
the covering, the moss serving the pur-
poses of pot, the ease of handling
and the benefits derived from not trans
planting, as the plant, moss-pot and all
are set in the ground.-N. Y World.

Wizard VS.. BUS Conductor.

Mr.. j. n. MAsKELYNE (Maskelyne and
Cooke) yesterday explained to numer-
Gus assembly at the Egyptian Hall full
size model of his patented apparatus for
checking the fares paid by passengers in
omnibuses, tram-cars, etc., the f ruit of
many months of patient labor. The ap-
paratus is simple, durable and inexpen-
sive; with it u journey may be divided
into any number of stages, and any
amount of fare may be charged over any
portion of the journey. The merit
claimed for it by Mr.. Maskelyne is that
it protects both the public and the pro-
prietors against fraud. The machine
may be briefly described as consisting of
disk about twelve inches in diameter,
rotating by clock-work, and ticket re-
ceptacle divided into number of COM
partments corresponding to the number
of stages of the journey. Before each
journey is taken sheet ofpaperis placed
upon the disk, upon which are printed
three eccentric circles and radical lines
indicating minutes. The box is filled
with tickets. Upon each is printed the
stage at which it is issued, as well as the
fares to the end of the journey. The
conductor is unable to get the tickets I'M
til he moves the first compartment of the
ticket-boX, and each movement of the
box causes the lever to press upon the
disk and perforates the paper in1the CEN
ter circle, indicating the exact time at
which such movement was made. By
means of a very simple mechanical ar
rangement of steps, every persons en-
11n iTlO
to perforate the disk in the outer circle,
and upon leaving the vehicle third
lever perforates the disk in the inner cir
Gle, thus registering the exact time at
which a passenger entered or left the We
hicle. The number of tickets issued
must correspond with the number of per-
forations, and at the end of the journey
an inspection can readily ascertain the
amount of money the conductor has re-
ceived. London Globe.

First Romance Of the New Spring.

IT is moonlight on the hill. From out
the trees a gentle zephyr creeps to rop
the hyacinth of its perfumed breath, ana
adown the garden walk the whlppoor-
will lends his monotone of sadness unto
the balmy night. Sleep, with broodlng
wings, sits silent DER the scene. But
bark! it is the tinl1ling guitar strummed
by the lonely Augusta. He comes. Be
meath the vine-clad window in the ghost
Iy cleaning he pauses, and up the
fiower-trellised wall he shoots a melan-
choly tenor fraught with the passionate
inquiry, "Must leave thee here alonep'
No answer returns save the haunting
echo and the low clicking OF a distant
door. The scene changes.
1t is the backyard tableau. A white
ROBBED old man bends above chained
dog and soothes his too eager spirit as he
loosens the collar. A low voice says
" S-cc-ceck him, Bull-take short cut
round the rose-bush." A flash-and the
old man is alone. The clatter of fallen
guitar comes from the front; a sound
like the rush of steeple-chase nearing a
hedge is borne back, and neck and neck
two figures cross the picket fence to dis
appear down the dim perspective of the
deserted street. Then the old man meets
Bull as he returns on the outer walk,
and removes in discouraged manner a
dark object from his foaming mouth,
while the animal retires to his kennel in
silence. The door opens and shuts upon
the white-robed form, and all is still
again. But as he gets in bed and shoves

Household Water Motor.

In Zurich Switzerland, the use of a
portable water power, so to speak, is
being extensively used for household
purposes. Firewood, for example, is to
be sawn into convenient lengths for
burning. A small saving machine on
wheels is drawn by two men to the front
OF a house. They connect by flexible
tube with the nearest hydrant; the
water flows to the machine; the saw
dances, and cuts up the wood with sur.
prising rapidity. A portable turbine
has also been invented, and employed
in many places in the same city, in
driving Gramme machine for the pro-
duction of electric light. Water is verv
abundant in Zurich but there are other
towns in which this domestic water
power could be advantageously intro
duced. Where it is any object to keep
n record of the water used, an indicator
showing the quantity might be affixed
to the machine. Scientific american.

OF all the old women that ever were seen.
The crossest and oldest was Militia Green.
She thought 1t her duty all scandal to know,
And she, in relating, her wisdom would show
By making story as she would desire.
In spite of the protest of friend or of neghbor,
She'd scatter the news like telegraph wire;
No recompense ask for her troublesome labor
Her tongue neer known by the town folks to tire
One day she fell sick, and she moaned and she
groaned;
In accents terrific her pain she intoned;
And Joy In the hearts of the people was throned
For news went about that old Militia Green.
The crossest old woman that ever was seen,
Was crying, and signing, and probably dying;
And neighbor with neighbor was pleasantly wing
To hasten her off to that beautiful shore
Where old maids are happy and grief is no more;
But she had no notion, with such slight commotion,
OF leaving the earth and crossing the ocean
And, spite of her moaning and groaning and pain.
Old Militia soon was revivlng again.
But, strange to relate, her most pitiful fate,
Her too-fathful tongue was indeed paralyzed
She moaned her misfortune both early and late,
Well knowing her pleasure and labor was DER.
She was not the Militia Green of yore
Her dark locks grew gray and her looks more pro-
found; 49,.
Her silence would many stranger astound,
Who'd question what sort of woman she
Who Joined in the revels yet silent would be?
Alas for poor Militia! she could no more '...
Bring stories of scandal from door unto door;
Her mind could not speak and her tongue would not
stir,
And gossip and scandal were weak without her
Assistance; peace brooded on hillside and plain,
And happiness came unto households again.
Her mission ended; her sorrow was brief
she laid herself down and she died-died of grief.
MORAL.
You troublesome tattlers, who deem it rare SPORT
Or duty to scatter each doubtful report,
Beware! oh beware! there is grief for us all;
The farest of trees shed their leaves in the fall!
Nor beauty or usefulness save
rose from destruction, a man from the grave.
Beware! oh beware! how you tell what you've seen,
And think of the fate of poor Militia Green.

GIadstone's Kindness.

In Mr.. Gladstone's household at
Hawarden was an old woman servant
who had a son inclined to go wrong.
The mother demonstrated and advised
her boy, but all to no purpose; he SEEM
ed determined on headlong course to
ruin. At last the mother in her desper-
alton caught the idea that if she could
persuade the premier to take him in
hand perhaps the prodigal might be re-
claimed. 'sScrewing her courage to the
sticking point for what will mother
not do for her child ?-she approached
her master and in trembling tones pre-
ferred her request Mr.. Gladstone re-
sponded at once, and though the affairs
of the greatest kingdom In the world
pressed heavily upon him, with genu-
inc simplicity of character he had the
lad sent to his study, when he spoke
tender words of advice and remonstrance
and eventually knelt down and prayed
higher power to aid in the work OF re-
demption. The kindly action was eff
fectual, and the lad became reformed
character.
