many that the crop can be acclimated to
higher latitude than it has been pro-
duced in.
The black rot of the tomato is of the
same kind as that which affects the pota-
to. This has been lately determined.
The fungus has been found in the stalks
of the tomato as in the potato stalks. The
remedy is to burn all the diseased fruits
and vines, and choose some variety which
is not affected by it, although any variety
that is now free from it will most prob
ably become affected in time.
Speaking of the mania for certain
breeds of cattle, Colmans Rural well re
marks: "The legitimate breeders of good
stock who know how to advertise and to
sell to advantage, are, with few eXcep-
tons, prosperous and happy during sea-
sons of financial depression. We have
always cautioned our readers not to in
vest in pedigree when the individual ex-
cellence of the animal was not in keep

who make the scales the test as to- the
butter quality and value of class ofcattle,
other things being equal, are not likely
to mistake in making investments in sires
that will improve their breeds"

The Lion of the Puniah.

Certainly there is an air of romance
and of tragedy about the Story of Dhu-
leep Singh. who, it is announced, intends
now to seek election to the British house
of commons. He began life as the ma
harajah, of the Punjab, possessor of the
Kohinoor and other almost beundless
wealth. After ruinous wars and equally
ruiraous treaties he now bids fair to
close his career in the position of squire
of Eveden, a quiet English country gem

Of bis formee vast possessions, save an
annuity from the government of SIPS, 600
which, by his luxurious habits, he has
already reduced to $685. 900 per annam.
True, he has purchased estates, and
built magnifcent-palaces in England and
Elveden Hail having cost $500 900, but
by act of parliament all these must be
sold at his death, leaving his heir only
the name and the memory of the son Of
'sthe Lion of the Punjab."

French Gardening.

An American market-gardener divides
his ground into many lots, and plants
nearly every variety of truck known to
the .market. The French gardener gives
himself up to the cultivation of a special
class or succession of fruits or vegetables,
and, by long study and practice, by ex-
perimenting with various manures, soils
ton He is also much more economical
of space and more prodigal of labor than
we are, or in fact, than we need be. He
seldom suffers his ground TO lie fallow;
crop succeed crop. in endless rotation;
the caulifiower is set among the
-zelon hills, ready to spread as soon
as the melons are gathered. Between
the rows of asparagus are planted early
potatoes, lettuce; etc, in such manner
as to keep the ground constantly fruit
full, and when the weather becomes
frosty and the sun loses a goodly share
of its forcing power, large bell glasses
are employed, one of which is placed
of saElds-and heat is then concentrated
upon it until its full growth is fairly at
tanned. The enormous size of the
French asparagus is chiefly due to the
manner of planting. Instead of setting
the plants closely together, as We do, a
space of at least six inches square is al
lowed to each "stool," which enables it
to suck large amount of nutriment from
the soil and become strong
and solid plant. Each "stoop
is, also MANFRED repeatedly
every season, the soil being carefully
scraped away down to the roots, tie
compost being placed around them, and
the earth put back again. The French
system of cultivatjng the apple, pear and
peach is also peculiar. The trees are all
| grated and dwarfed. A strong wire is
stretched along in front of each row,
! about three feet above the ground. Up
on this wire single branch of each tree
is trained, and as soon as well started
this branch is made, by heavy pruning,
the only fruit-bearing one on the tree.
The consequence is that the entire
! strength of the tree goes to the ncurish-
ing of the fruit upon this branch, and the
fruit becomes large and fair il proportion.
This process, by the by, is borrowed
from the Chinese.

Farm Machinery.

I am often surprised when riding
through the country at this season, and
later, at finding so many costly imple-
ments and machines standing along the
roadsides and in fields, exposed to- the
damaging influences of sun and rain.
which cause them to warp, rust and de-
cay. The cost of agricultural tools and
implements ON an ordinary farm is very
considerable. and no farmer can afford
to allow them to 90 to ruin by leaving
them exposed to the elements. A very
short time only is required to gather
them together and place them
under shelter, which if not
convenient, may be easily
and cheaply made with few boards
and nails. A little. oil of tallow rubbed
upon the polished shares of cultivators,
pfows, ETC., will keep them bright and
in readiness for immediate use. The
woodwork of machines, too, will be
greatly benefited by a coat of linseed
oil, or paint, before putting them away.
ANY farmer who will figure up the cost
of the necessary tools, implements and
machines upon farm, and the length
of time which they will last at best, will
come to the conclusion that:it pays we'll
to take good care of them.-Exchange.

CREAKY SHOES.

With creaky shoes stranger treads
The long and broad church-aisle;
And all the people turn their heads
To see him whom the parson DIRE ads,
Zen though he's without guile.
For Stratagem he is not fit,
Nor yet for treason's role;
For he who like ghost doth fit,
And in the pew doth silent sit,
Hath music IN his sole.

BEFORE THE DAWN.

Before the dawn begins to glow,
A ghossly company l keep;
Across the silent room they creep,
The buried fcrms of friend and foe.
Amid the throng that come and go
There are two eyes that make me weep
Before the dawn begins to glow,
A ghostly company keep.
They shine like starlight on the deep;
And often when am asleep
They Stoop and kiss me, bending low,
Before the dawn begins to glow.

THE ENTERTAINMENT.
ST. PATRTcK,s DAY.

To-day is the anniversary of the birth e1
ST. Patrick, distinguished missionary oi
the fifth century, commonly known as ths
Apostle of Ireland. The event was no,
celebrated in this city by the annual parade
which usually charaeterizes such observ-
ance in the years that are past. The So
ciety of Rock Island decided at meeting
that the money usually expended in such
parades should be forwarded to Ireland to
relieve the sufferings of the residents oi
the Emerald Isle" In accordance with
that decision the procession was dispensed
with, and the only observance of the event
will consist of a ball given under the au-
spices of the local ST. Patrick's society,
which will take place this evening at the
Armory.
ST. Patrick is supposed to have been
born in the year 3S7, although there are
good authorities that maintain that his
birth occurred in the year 377. His orig
inal name is said 20 have been Succoth,
and Patricus was the Roman appellative
by which he was known.
In his sixteenth year he was seized by q
band Of pirates. carried to Ireland, and
sold to petty chief. He escaped and Wis
tied France, where he became monk,
first at Tours and then at the celebrated
monestary of Lerins In 431 he went to
Rome, and was sent by Pope Celestine to
preach in Ireland. His Mission was sue
cessful. He visited large portions of the
kingdom, and converted many people to
the faith. He is said to have founded 365
churches, and baptized with his own hand
12,000 persons. He died at Saul, near
Downpatrick, and his relics were preserv-
