The Fallacy Of Large Farms.

And still the cry is for more land.
Why don't they cry for more brains, or
more food for the brains they have, and
let the coveted acres go until they know
what to do with them? Many say that
they had rather lot their land lie still
than to hire help, and so it lies as still as
they can make it. However, it does not
lie quite still. 1t is an elephant on their
hands, eating with its huge teeth of in
terest and taxes big hole into the
titled acres for its unworthy support.
This is the cause of it. 1t is 20 Govern
ment bond that can be hid away and is
the better for keeping quiet, but there
it is, exposed to the assessors eye, eX-
hausting the strength OF the owner and
the profit of the rest of the farm for its
improbable existence. The land-pos-
sessing mania has worked more mischief
with progressive farming than any other
one obstacle ever found in its. path.
That it springs from worthy motives it
is impossible to deny, since the holders
of much of this land have inherited it
from a long line of ancestry who would
consider the sundering of part q sac
rilege. The ancestral yoke has proved
bond of strength in keeping certain
families true to the love of, soil, though
it may be questioned whether it has not
always been the means of extirpating
many a family, root and branch, who
would otherwise to-day be in posses
sion of a home, had the call of duty not
yielded to the call of pride.
Could computation of wasted ener-
gies, time and means in our methods of
farming ever be made, it would be
enough to set every farmer to-day in an
independent position on his estate.
Think of the average returns of the
farmers through the country! 1t is
enough to make a man blush with shame
for the honor of his profession. All be-
cause he will not concentrate his nerv-
Gus and muscular energies, his interest
account, taxes, and labor hire upon a
less number of acres.
Concentration. means power; diffu-
sion weakness. When that point is
reached that the land fails to pay inter-
est on its valuation, taxes and market
rates of wages for the time bestowed in
cultivation, it had better go into the
hands of the next man who stands ready
to try his power upon it. We will
hazard the assertion that enoughi is lost
to the farmers every year through this
holding of more land than they can
swing to pay for what extra help they
really need to make the rest of theiI
land return what it should.-Planter't

A Severe Blow to the Fruit Trade.


The ravages of parasite insect on
orange and lemon trees are attracting
much attention in Italy and the West
Indies, and have begun to create alarm
in Florida, Louisiana and California.
j. II. Bostwick, Inspector of Customs,
who has charge of the Fruit department
of the New York Custom-house, is tax
ing great interest in the matter, and has
some specimens from cargoes of
oranges, the rinds of which are covered
with incrustations of these parasites.
The. matter is a serious one, for vast
numbers of trees are ruined by these in
sects. Mr.. Bostwick says that the
Italian Government has offered prize
of 100000 francs for an effectual remedy
for the pest, and that a wealthy Italian
has added 100000 francs % the offer on
his own account. He says that thirty
years ago he stopped the ravagcs of a
similar pest by washing the trunks and
large limbs of fruit trees with soap and
sharp sand. If the trouble continues TO
increase as it is doing now, the impor-
tation of fruit from Italy and the West
Indies will be much reduced, and there
will be heavy losses in the orange groves
of Florida, Louisiana and California.
The value of the fruit imports at this
port in 1880 was S4,19S,7 S7, the duty
on which was S746,O3l.-NeO York

Application of Liquid Manure TO
Roses.--Mr. George S. Wales tells of
an experiment he made last season which
proved highly satisfactory. About June
lst, he planted out twelve small sized
plants of different varieties, about a
foot apart each way, in rich, heavy soil.
After every heavy rain he took from the
barnyard the teachings of the manure
pile; with q pointed stick he punched
four or five holes in the ground q few
inches from each plant, and poured in
the water; the next day, or as soon as
the ground was dry enough, he stirred
the surface with a hoe, and kept It loose
by frequent hoeings, until again watered
during the season. He applied the liquid
manure probably eight or ten time:
during the seasons The resultwas Won
derfhf. They began in five or six week;
to bloom, and until October l, wher
they were taken up, there was hardly 8
day but that beautiful buds might have
been picked.
Some advise the burning of potato
plants affected with disease in order tc
prevent the germs from spreading. II
say nothing of the difficulty of such 6
course. its entire uselessness has beer
well demonstrated by an experiment
made by Mr.. George Murray, as related
in The Journal Of Botany. He placed
fourteen slides, such as are used will
microscopes, near field in which abou
per cent. of the growing plants wer,
affected. The whole surface of thes,
strips of glass was only about five inche
square, yet in fifty hours seyenty-twl
| potato fungus germs had fallen on them
showing that millions may be floating il

their presence is suspected.

How DIphtheria Spreads.


The information possessed as to the
way in which diphtheria spreads is at
present very meager and unsatisfactory.
There is no doubt that, in some cases at
least, it is communicated by contagion
and Infection, using these terms widely;
but whether the germs of the
disease !, are carried in the air.. and
under what conditions, or whether it is
at any time generated de novo in healthy
persons, is matter for discussion. Ex-
perience points to the conclusion that if
diphtheria makes its appearance in
house that is situated in high, exposed
place, the chances of its spreading in
the locality for miles around are much
greater than they would be from house
that was sheltered from the wind. The
disease sometimes seems to leap with
long strides from one dwelling to anoth-
err, miles apart, leaving the inhabitants
of intervening dwellings untouched.
For nearly four hundred years this
plague has been devastating the lands
of Christendom, and puzzling those
whose duty it is to cope with its ravagess
While families which observe sanitary
laws stand far better chance of avoid
ing disease than those who do not, yet
it often happens that diphtheria will
pass by the dwelling where neglect and
filth are rampant, and present itself in
the nursery of a house where every pos
sible attention is paid to cleanliness.
1t is open to serious doubt
whether fresh outbreaks, that so
often trouble us, are always the
relics of epidemics that have passed
away-whether the germs of the disease
have been wrapped up in some corner,
only to show themselves when dis
turbed. AS we have limited, it is
thought by some to be possible that the
disease may be generated de 1aouo at diff.
ferent points, and then spread on the
wings of the wind. However it is, there
can be no doubt that uncleanliness,
whether of person or dwelling, is an i'm
portant factor in the spread of this as
well as many other diseases. While il
may be true that healthy persons, sur
rounded by conditions which are to all
appearances favorable to health, are
sometimes attacked by diphtheria, it is
fact that, other things being equal
such persons are far better able to ward
off the disease than are those who are
surrounded by conditions of an unsani
tary character. Those especially who
have children should, in guarding
against this ravager, keep their house:
in such order that diphtheria can not be
generated in their midst, and that there
can be no unclean corners in which the
germs of the disease could be stored
away for future work of devastation

Relics of a Prehistoric Race.

The spot where Des Moines now
stands was evidently at one time, saws
the Des Moines Qowa) Register, the
burial place of prehistoric race. The
first settlers of Des Moines found
many mound where houses now stand,
and their curiosity often led them to
make excavations. Many q curious
specimen of art work was found deep
down beneath the outside covering of
muck, which would seem to denote a
skill not possessed by the savages, who
were then as plenty around Des Moines
as they are now on their Kansas reserv-
ations. A very remarkable relic was
found in a mound some eight feet be-
lowt the surface, which, under a magni-
fying-glass, reveals curious and deli
cate piece of either fine inlaid wood
work of different colors, long since pet
rified, or of peculiar metals or stone, ar
ranged uniquely, resembling the border,
molding or chasing on monogramic
jewelry and bearing an Inscription in
partly effaced letters, under which is a
row of numerals, the whole conjectured

ensign of official distinction, which was
buried on the person of the wearer. 1t
is small affair, not much larger than a
silver dollar, yet gentleman in Cincin-
natl once offered its Des Moines pos
SCISSOR 5000 for it. Another relic taken
from one of the holes was a peculiarly
shaped thatchet, very unlike anything
then in use by the American Indians or
border whites. 1t was not of stone, and
