Agricultural Notes.

A cablegram from St. Petersburg on
July 4, says the harvest is expected to
be very good throughout the empire
The hop crop of the Willamette
Valley, CAL, will not amount to more
than one-half, where the yards were
overlooked by the floods of the past
winter
AT the Michigan agricultural college
oats are sown early in August, between
the rows of raspberries. The oats, ex-
plains Prof. Beal, present a better APP
pearance than do weeds, serve as a
mulch during the winter, and in the
spring leave the ground quite clean.
DT. McMurtrie, of the agricultural
department, thinks the best localities
for beet-raising in the United States
are New England, New York, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota,
Washington Territory, Oregon, one or
two counties in Pennsy lvania, and
Licking County, 0.
There are in Great Britain 5000 fe-
males who are farming. These women
enjoy all the rights and privileges OF
men with one exception, they cannot
vote for members Of parliament, but
they can vote on all municipal ques-
tons. 1t is very seldom, however, that
they exercise this privilege.
Taylor Mandolin, on the border LOT
Texas, has, perhaps, the largest pas
ture in the world. On one side there
are forty miles of rock fence, and yet
it will require two hundred miles of
fencing to inclose it. He intends to
SOW 1000 tons of oats. He will feed
100000 head of cattle on his pasture.
Prof. Kedzie, of the Michigan agri-
cultural college, is reported as recon-
mending mixture of skim milk and
brine as wash for outbuildings, barns,
roofs, etc. Besides being durable,
cheap, easily applied and impervious
to water, 1t renders the wood practical
ly non-combustible.
Buckwheat MAJ be made profitable
upon a piece of rough or newly cleared
ground. No other crop is so effective
IN mellowing rough, cloddy land. The
seed in northern localities should be
sown before July the 18th, otherwise
early frosts may catch the crop. Grass
and clover may sometimes be sown
successfully With DuCkWheat.
Small focks of sheep can be kept on
the farm with advantage. The meat is
healthful and nutritious and can be
grown more cheaply than beef, while it
ought to be used more largely by farm
ers, who now rely on pork as the stand
ard meat for the table. Sheep-raising
is not so exhausting to the soil as grain
raising, and on land much worn will be
found one of the means of renewing

They may relieve, but they can't cure

Chow about nv diamonds ?"


Hang your diamonds" was Mer-
tons most uncivil reply. "What could
possess you to treat my old friend,
Herr Schlossman, in this-this insane
manner! If you doubted the truth of
his story you might, at least, have tele-
graphed to me to ascertain if it were
correct, instead of first insulting him,
and then giving him in charge to the
police on some absurd pretext."
Il never insulted your friend" | re-
piled. 'He was most agreeable man,
and we spent a pleasant hour together.
[ have been robbed and ruined by a
swindler-a little dirty German, who
came here after your friend left and
pretended to personate him. He has
carried off the best of my collection,
and will certainly set the police on
his track. You seem under some ex-
traordinary delusion, Merton, and your
language is not the pOitest.
Merton is an irritable fellow, and l
make allowances for him; but my
words appeared to turn his wrath into
pity.
"Jones," he said solemnly, II did
uOG llllI1h y Ou H6I6 " NC ~ easily gull
ed. see it ali now"
Then you have the advantage of
me-" | retorted, rather testify, for no
one likes to hear that hehas been east :
ly taken in.
'Your pleasant, agreeable man, +"
went on Merton, in a tone of exasper-
ating certainty, sis at this moment ex-
ulting in the possession of your lost
jewels. The dirty little German as
you please to entitle him, is the real
Herr Schlossman, who has just tele-
graphed to me from the police-station,
where your laundering has had him
locked up"
"But the other man brought letter
"a card" l gasped.
''Of which he had robbed my friend
at the railway station" said Merton,
coolly.
Need I dwell on the rest of this tale?
[ accompanied Merton to the police
court, where his injured friend was
identified and set free. [ cannot say
that Herr Schlossman showed a
very forgiving disposition, for he
received our apologies and explana-
tions with a remarkably bad grace,
and utterly declined to fill his engage
ment with Merton, announcing that he
had 'seen enough of England" and
intended to return to the continent thai
evening. So off he went, and six
months afterward, when he died, the
names of the Merton family were re-
mitted from his will, though he had
promised them legacies. [ doubt if
Merton has ever thoroughly forgiven
me. | am sure his wife has not.
And my lost jewels. They are lost
still. That clever swindler has never
been caught. To add insult to injury,
everyone thinks [ was so easily gulled.
| don't think [ was at all. | was too
alert, in fact. 1t was my very sharp
ness that caused me to have the wrong
man arrested, and so lose Merton's
friendship as well as my diamonds.
Why did the real Herr Schlossman
come with a story exactly similar to
that of the swindler the newspapers
were warning us against? Why did
he look such dubious character
Well, [ have one comfort. The
clever swindler is still at large. One day
he may pay a visit to some Of the peo-
pie who are now laughing at me, and
they may find themselves "done" as
completely as was.

BY PHOEBE CARY.

BY PHOEBE CARY.
Once trap was blited
With a piece of cheese;
1t tickled so a little mouse
1t almost made him sneeze.
An old rat said, There's danger
Be careful where you gor'
Nonsense" said the other.
II don't think you know"
So he walked in boldly,
Nobody in sight;
First he took a nibble.
Then he took bite.
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching mousey fast there,
Cause he didn't think.
Once a little turkey,
Fond of her own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to go or stay.
She said, I'm not a baby,
Here l am half grown;
Surely / am big enough
To run around alone"
Off she went, but somebody
Hiding, saw her pass:
Soon, like snow, her feathers
Covered all the grass.
So she made a supper
For a sly young mink,
Cause she was so headstrong
That she wouldn't think.
Once there was q robin
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to get inside
And hop upon the floor
No, no" said the mother,
You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in a treel"
don't care" said robin,
And gave his tail fling,
q don't think the old folks
Know quite everything
Down he flew, and kitty siezed him
Before he'd time to think,
OH he cried, I'm sorry,
But l didn't think"
Now, my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what trouble
Comes Of thinking wrong!
Can't you take a warning
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late?
Don't think there's always safety,
Don't suppose you know more
Than anybody knows
Who has gone before.
But when you're warned of ruin,
Pause upon the brink,
And don't 60 under headlOng,
Cause YOU didn' think.
