LAND REVOLUTION IN GREAT BRI.
TAIN.-A great revolution Is impending
in Great Britain. In ten years only
three good harvcsts have been gathered
in the British island Tt, climate has
so changed that wheat cannot be grown
profitably in Great Britain or Irels I'd.
The weather continues wet during most
OF the summer, and hence there is plen-
ty of grass and good pasturage. Veteta-
bles can also be grown, but not the
cereals. Then American competition
also has had its effect. Wheat from Da.
kota or California can be sold In Liver
pool cheaper than it can be grown in the
British islands. The effect has been to
ruin the British farmer, and 10 deprive
the landlord of his revenues. The Irish
people were the frat to revolt, and two
thirds of the farmers of that county have
declined to pay any rent. The farmers
in Scotland and England are also NOV
ing, and they are holding conventions tc
have the land laws changed, and the
rights of tenants recognized as in Irelnnd
The present century will undoubtedly
see the laws of primogeniture, entail
and settlement swept away, thus allowing
free trade in land. With the old lant
laws will disappear the great bulwark.

tionary times, and that which Is takinf

THE Colon LINE IN THE CHURCHES.
1t is said that the governing authori-
ties of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in Maryland have declined to ordain a
young colored graduate of Northern
theological seminary. This coiored stu
dent was anxious to enter into tho minis
try in State where there is large ne
gro population. No reason is specified
for the refusal, but the Inference is that
the white Episcopal clergyman did not
care to have as aa associate q member of
o colored race. It is not our purpose to
dissect the motives which animate any
religious demon ination in managing ifs
affairs, but at u, Uhen there is moro
than usual anxiety among religious peo-
pie as to the decadence of faith, the
coldness in ecclesiastical affairs, the want

The Care of Cows.

The dairy requires, in fact, scru-
pulous care in every department. 1t
is delicate industry. And the care
must begin with the COW. 1t is not
enough to have good COW and to
feed and water her properly. She
must in fact be made pet of. That
description of her treatment is the
very best that can be made. In
handling her it should be done as if
she were frail, delicate thing, liable
to injury fromj the slightest rough
touch or unkind word. Remember
ing her excessive nervousness, she
ought never to be frightened, indeed
not any more than considerate per-
son would frighten child, which a
considerate person would never do.
Nothing is capable of vexing us
more than to see a dog playfElly

often seen it. The dog enjoys the
sport, but the cow does not, and if il

The QUICKSILVER Industry:

A memorial to the Tariff Commis-
sion has been prepared by ten Of the
leading companies engaged in the
manufacture of quicksilver in Cali
fornia, asking for revision of the
tax on imported quicksilver, for the
better protection of home industry.
The memorialists state that owing to
the great extent and richness of the
Spanish and Australian mines and
the cheapness of labor in those coun-
tries, successful competition by the
California companies, in which $780,
100000 of capital is invested. is prac-
tlcably impossible, and that for the
want of adequate protection there is
danger that one of the most import :
antindustries of California will be
entirely destroyed. They suggest a
specific duty of from 20 to 25 cents
per pound on imported quicksilver as
the lowest point that will permit sue
cessful competition and fair return

Renovatins Poor Land.

. 1t is slow, difficult, and expensive
work to bring up worn-out land, but
more especially land naturally poor,
to a satisfactory degree Of fertility.
But it may be done. We have
known men of means put on twice
the value of the land with the ex-
pectation of getting large yield the
first year, but they did not succeed.
The best that can be done is to
begin the fall beforehand, use all the
available manure possible, or some
fertilizer if it can be obtained, ard
sow some crop that grows quick, as
rye or Italian rye. grass, either OF
which will make considerable growth,
and be ready to tarn under by the
middle of May. This has taken no
plant food from the field. Much
nitrogen and carbonic acid, some pot
ash and soda, have been distracted
from the soil and the air, and store
up in the easily decaying nitrogen
eous substance of those crops.
Turned under in bloom, the heat of
soil with the moisture of the season,
will .liberate the nitrogen and other
elements provided, in time to be ap-
proated by the roots of growing corn.
I have no doubt but the best use
that can be made of a little manure
or fertilizer is to furnish them to rap
id growing crops 20 be turned under
as manure: | know it seems wastful
to turn under a heavy crop of rye in
May in the hopes OF securing crop
of corn, but let the doubter try it ON
small scale and be convinced.
Later in the season the quick-grow.
ing millets, beans, peas and especially
buckwheat or fodder corn, may be
turned under as manure for fall wheat
AS land gets richer rag weed often
affords profitable crop, turned un-
der in bloom for another crop o

Freezing and Frozen Plants.

DR.. George ThurLer writes in
Dec. american Agriculturist upon
care of frozen plants:
Those who have window plants
cannot always keep the temperature
of the room sufficiently high at night
to make sure that no harm will come
to them by frost. Where it is feared
that they may freeze, it will be well
to cover them at night, either with a
sheet or with newspapers, which are
quite as good. 1t is not difficult to
arrange covering by the use of
strings and sticks to hold the papers
up above the plants. A canopy of
this kind will prevent the radiation
of heat from the pots and the plants,
and be of great service. In a collec-
ton ofplants, some will be much
more severely injured by freezing
than others, but nearly all, if not too
much exposed, will soon recover, un-
less suddenly warmed. When the
plants are found to be frozen, make
the change to higher temperature
very gradual. Remove them to a
room where the air Is but few de-
grees above freezing, or if this can
not be done, warm up the room
whore they are, but very gradually.
In moving frozen plants it must be
done with grea: care, as in their
frozen state they may be readily in
iured. Sometimes the newer shoots
will fail to recover, while the leaves
of the older wood will resume their
natural condition. When this oc-
ours all those parts that fail to re-
cover should be removed-cutting
back with a sharp Knife to a sound
portion of the stem.

Boys Rights.

1 wonder now If any one. :.
In this broad land has heard,
In favor of down-trodden boys,
One solitary word?
We hear enough of ''woman's rights
= And rights of ''working.men,n
OF equal rights" and nations rights"
But pray Just tell us when
Boys rights were ever spoken off
Why, we've become SO used
To being snubbed by every one,
And slighted and abused,
That when one is polite to us,
We open wide our eyes,
And stretch them in astonishmeEt
To twice their natural size
Boys seldom dare to ask their friends
TO venturein the house;
1t don't come natural at all
To creep round like a mouse;
And if we should forget ourselves
= And make o little noise,
Then ma or auntie sure would say,
"Oh, my! those dreadful boys" 1.
The girls bang on the piano
In peace, but il the boys
Attempt a tune with fife or drum,
It's "stop that horrid noise"
-'eThat horrid noise"-just think OF IL,
When sister never fails
To make noise three times as bad
With everlasting SCALES"
lnsulted thus, we lose no time
In beating retreat;
So off we go to romp and tear,
And scamper in the street,
No wonder that SO many boys
Such wicked men become;
'Twere better far to let them have
Their game and plays at home.
Perhaps that text the preacher quotes
Sometimes, Train up child"
Means only train the little girls,
And let the boys run wild.
But patience, and the time will come
When we will all be men;
And when it does, rather think,
Wrongs will be righted then.

STOCK Department.

OIUON UEFAh U1ENIs
About two ounces of saltpetre we'll
mixed in bucket of common salt, is
a remedy of an old experienced
sheepman for lombriz.
Wherever sheep feed, new, sweet
grasses flourish and weeds are de-
stroyed. If farmers fully appreciate
how great benefit sheep are to land,
they would raise more of them.
DR.. Ellis, of Russell county, Kan
sas, large wheat grower, under
stands the value of sheep upon land
so thoroughly that he advertises he
will pay ten cents per head for sheep
to pasture upon his fields.
Careful stock men will provide
shelter for their stock in the winter.
One-third less feed, with shelter,
put them through the winter in bet
ter shape than full rations without it.
A French chemist reports that
water made slightly salt, and to
which, when boiling, bran in the pro-
portion of one quart to every gallon
has been added, has been found in a
series Of experiments to increase the
yield Of milk 25 per cent. if given to
the cows as their ordinary drink.
For working oxen, no breed can
compare with the e.Devons. They are
quick, large, docile, and easily kept
The color is uniformly red, and they
can be easily matched. On heavy
roads the oxen of this breed are equal
to horses, in many respects and at
times superior.
The Ratral Home says a paralysis
of the headquarters in pigs is some
times. caused by inflammation of and
consequent effusion upon the animal
marrow, causing pressure and loss of
nerve power. Sensation and power
of action MAJ often he restored by
the application of a mild irritant to
the loins. Turpentine or thin paste
of mustard rubbed upon the lolns
over the spine, generally leads co a
cure. 1t is brought on by cold and
damp quarters, or exposure to cold
rains. and is more frequent in young
pigs than old ones. A chill will
sometimes produce-it suddenly.
In selecting a good COW, be sure
that her udder is large and not fieshy
extending behind as nearly as pos
to the vulva, and reaching in from:
nearly to her naval; so that as much
milk may be obtained from front
quarters as from hind ones. Hel
milk veins must also be sought fol
and examined; feel and see that they
are large and swelling, especially
noticing that the holes where the
veins enter the body is SO large that
you can easily push the top of your
second finger into them. She should
also have deep orange color inside
her ears; the deeper this color is, the
richer her milk.
A great many breeders fail te
achieve the results at which they ain
simply because of their reluctance te
discard an occasional animal which
contains slight blemish. Wanting
the best, they use what they know il
not perfect, to produce it, hoping ma
iure will kindly gloss over and mo-
reproduce the defect. Such a policy
is suicidal. The breeder who woult
| enjoy the highest success must no
be afraid to Gull. Let every anima
which can not be rated as first-clas
be ripened and sent to the shambles
Breed from only the best, and on Mt
consideration lot your flock deter
iorate through your failure to 'rejec
the imperfect.

On poor land, with light purse,
