Robinson crusoe's Island.

Juan Fernandez, which De Foe has
made immortal as the scene of the adj
ventures Of Robinson Crusoe, was some
time since leased by the Chillian gov>
eminent, to which it belongs, to man
named Won Rodt, the son of Pro
testant clergyman at Berne, Switzer
land. The career of Won Rodt has
been almost as adventurous as that of
Crusoe himself, and in this respect he is
worthy to be the successor of De Foes
hero. At the age of twenty .one Won
Rodt entered the Austrian service as
Lieutenant of Cuirassiers, and fought
valIantly during the campaign of 1866,
receiving at Nachod a wound so severe
that he was obliged to quit the service.
After the termination of the war he
went to live at Paris on small pen
sion allowed him by the Austrian gov
eminent When the Franco russian
war broke out he enlisted in a French
regiment of the line, and distinguished
himself by his bravery at Champigny.
In 1871 he emigrated to Chill, and en-.
gagged in trade with so much success
that he was able to lease the island of
Juan Fernandez. He purchased
steamer and transported thther a small
colony of agricnIturists. He raises on
the island cattle and vegetables, which
he sells to the whalers who revictual
there. He governs his subjects after
the fashion of Crusoe, distributing to
them rations in person, and keeping a
patriarchal eye on their morals and
education. His affairs prosper mar.
velously, and he has already succeeded
in putting in cultivation more than half
the island.

The True Gentleman.

The following sketch of the true
gentleman was fonnd in an old manor
house in Gloucestershire, England,
written and framed, and hung over the
mantle-piece of tapesried sitting room:
"The true gentleman is Gods SER
want, the worlds master, and his own
man. Virtue his business, study his
recreation, contentment his rest, and
happiness his reward. God is his faith
err; the church his mother, the saints
his brethren, and all that need him his
friends. Devotion his chaplain; Chris
tianity his chamberlain; sobriety his
butler; temperance his cook ; hospitality
his house keeper Providence his
steward charity his treasurer; piety
his mistress of the house and discre.
ton his porter, to let in or out as most
fit. This is the whole family made up
of the virtues, and he is the master of
the whole house. He is necessitated
to take the world ON the way to heaven
but he walks through it as fast as he
can, and ali his business by the way is
to make himself and Others happy.
Take him in two words-a man and a
Christian.

Wheat Raising in Belgium.

Belgium Is the most carefully and elab-
orately cultivated country in Europe, and
the Belgian farmers raise larger crops per
acre in their small, unfenced and finely
lined farms than are raised anywhere else.
Farming there partakes of the nature of
gardening; indeed, it would be called gar
dening elsewhere Wheat is the impor-
tant crop, and the management of it is par
ticular to what other people would call an
extreme. The seed is sown in the fall
spread broadcast and thick over rich and
well prepared plant beds, similar to those
which Missouri tobacco raisers prepare for
their tobacco seed. The young wheat
comes up thick, rank and strong in the
fall, and remains so all winter, forming a
mat on the ground
In the spring the ground is thoroughly
prepared by deep blowing and narrowing
after which it is marked off in drills ten
inches to one foot apart, one way The
wheat plants are then pulled up from the
bed in punches and carefully picked apart,
one at time, and dropped at distances of
four to six inches in the drills in the field,
After the dropper follows the planter, who,
with a trowel or thin paddle, makes holes
in the drills at the proper distances, and
sets out the separate plants in the same
manner as strawberry tomato or tobacco
plants are set out.
When the work is done there is wheat
field planted in drills one foot apart, and
with the plants six inches apart in the
drills. 1t is tedious and particular pro-
cess. But ON the small fve-aere Belgian
farms, worth $500 to $500 an acre, it ann
ply pays for the trouble. The Belgium
wheat fields after being planted are care
fully cultivated between the rows by hand
until the plants are too high to admit of
further work. The plants branch into
stools, from each of which shoots up stalks
bearing heavy heads of grain, and when
the harvest comes the yield is leo to $50
bushels of grain to the acre.

The Plaques of History.

The earliest plaques of which there are
any account of, those described in Exodus,
occurred in Egypt 149l, B. c. In 534,
B. c., there was plague at Carthage 50
terrible that parents sacrificed their children
to propitiate the gods, In 1871, B. c., in
the Greek Islands, Egypt and Syria, people
died at the rate of 1000 day. In Rome,
A. D., so. 10000 people died daily
Another plague at Rome, A d., 256, took
off 5000 a day, In 43O Britain was
scourged so that the living were hardly
able to bury the dead During the years
746-749 Constantinople lost 100000 of
its population, At Chichester, England,
in 772, $4,000 people died, and in 1854
Scotland lost 10000 people Ireland was
sorely visited in 1172 and 1901 and again
in 1889. At that time 200 people were
buried daily. In 1407 London lost 3d.
600 citizens. There was fearful pesti-
ience at Oxford in 1741. The dreadful
sweating sickness" occurred in London in
1906 and again in 1913. In most of the
towns half the people died, and Oxford
was depopulated. In 1922 thousands
were swept away in Limerick The
sweating sickness revisited in England in
1923 and again in 1851. In 1904 3d.
SIS persisted of plague in London Con-
stantinople again lost 100000 people in
1911. In 1925 London lost 81, All in
habitants. In 1852 Lyons lost 10000.
In 1856 100000 people died at Naples in
six months In 1864 Londons great
plague took off 68,596 inhabitants. III
1920 10000 people died at Marseilles In
1913 10000 inhabitants of Bossora.
Persia, died of plague. In 1892 100000
persons died of plague in Egypt. In
Barbara 5000 people died daily, and in
1899 247 900 people persisted at Fee.
Asiatic cholera first appeared in England
at Sunderland, October 26, 1881, and in
North America at Quebec, June 8, 1892,
and in New York, June %, 1882. 1t
revisited the United States in 1884, slight
ly in lS49, severely in 1855, and again
lightly in 1867. In 1929-30 900 900
people died of cholera in Russia and
Germany. In 1889 1929 people died
of it in England and Wales, and. in 1854
these countries lost 20,097, and Naples
10000 persons. In 1866 10000 people
died of cholera in Constantinople.

Ensilage.

A Philadelphia gentleman who has just
Havermyer farm at Midway, Bergen coun-
ty, n. j., states that Mr.. Havermyer is a
great believer in ensilage and has no less
than 36 silos on the place; "a of them are
II feet long, feet wide and 80 feet deep,
while the other y are the same width and
length, but only % feet deep. The ensi-
lage is stored in these silos and fed to his
splendid herd of Jersey COWS, of which he
has III, and all perfect beauties. He has
80 acres of land sowed with corn for ens-
lage, which is cut by two Ross cutters, each
of 10 tons per hour capacity. The corn is
cut in half width lengths. After being pre-
pared the ensilage is fed to each COW at the
rate of about 40 pounds morning and eve
ming. During the day the cows are turned
into a ten-acre field where there is plenty
Of shade and water On this treatment
the cattle thrive and give much greater
abundance of milk than by the old method
of feeding.
Our informant states that he also visited
the 140-acre farm of John Y. Smith, of
Doylestown, Bucks county, and found that
gentleman was feeding his cattle in like
manner. He has four silos 40 feet long,
26 feet deep and Is feet wide, which are
divided into four compartments Mr..
Smith stated that before he began feeding
ensilage he could keep only "a head of
cows on his farm; now he has 81 and keeps
them better than he could in the old way.
From his investigations our informant is
firmly impressed with the belief that this
method of feeding cattle is a great improve
ment over any other and that it will event,
ually be universally adopted. Wcstchestey,
Pa, Jefersonian.
