Farmers Gardens.

Every farmer should pay increased atten-
tion to the kitchen garden. Comparatively
few enjoy good supply of small fruits and
vegetables upon their tables. Why is it that
people in large villages, with little or no land
at their disposal, live better and have a more
liberal supply of garden sauce than the aver
age farmer. Yet this is fact and is beyond
dispute, as one at all familiar can readily see.
If there is any class of people who should
(and might if they would) have bountiful
supply Of the fruits of the soil in their sea
son, it is the hardworkng farmer. Can he
be content to live on pork and beans and po-
tatoes. too often the poorest at that? Why is
this? Is it because he sells everything raised
upon the farm to lift mortgage and neglects
his own family, or does he neglect the gar
den altogether, thinking he hasn't time or
il doesn't pay? | know there are many
thrifty farmers who live well, but
there are many who havea too scanty fare
simply because they neglect TO plant garden
of vegetables and fruits. Why not attend to
these things the coming season, and have a
goodly supply of fresh vegetables on your
tables throughout the year? The seeds can
be sown in rows from two to three feet apart
and cultivated as for field crops. This is the
most economical method where land is not
plenty and where one hasn't time to lay out
nicely prepared beds. Look over your seeds
and if more are needed procure a good supply
of some reliable scotsman. Attend to this
matter now and have a garden of some kird
next summer, remembering the old text "As
ye SOW, so shall ye reap" The secret of sue
cessful gardening is to use plenty of manure
and keep down the weeds.-Er.

a Vicious Elephant Killed by His
Owners.

Pilot, the ferocious monster elephant who
took rank next to Jumbo in point of size on
this side of the water, terminated his earthly
career early yesterday morning after ex-
hibition of stubborn viciousness which indi-
Gated to his owners that it would not be safe
to retain him longer among their employees,
or to exhibit him to their patrons. Pilot
made as bad a record for himself as an ele-
phant often attains. He was an Asiatc by
birth, a native Of Ceylon, and about 80 years
Of age Ten of these hs had spent in captivi-
ty, and during all this fime his keepers never
dared to trust him a moment He bad no re-
gard for religion or morals; he played mar
bles on Sunday N his youth and drank beer
in his maturity. and in every way has made
horrible example of himself for little pachy
derms who read elephantine Sunday-school
books to profit by. His first appearance be-
fore tine public was in Cross's Menagerie,
in London, when all the employees of the in
stitution stood in deadly fear of his temper.
He wound up his career in England. in 1877,
by killing his keeper. whom he dashed to the
floor with his trunk and trampled into an un-
recognizable and shapeless mass in the ele-
plants quarter of the mena9erie. After this
fatal escapade he was chained to the ground,
in which position he was offered for sale and
purchased BY Barnum. Then the beast was
secured so that he could scarcely move, pre-
paratory to shipment, and great was the
terror in which he was held by the hardened
menagerie employees that men could hardly
be obtained to assist in the operation Of drag
ging him to the vessel. His trunk was chained
under his belly, his legs were fastened so that
he could only move them two or three inches
at time, and in this way he was taken on
ship board and kept during the voyage.
Pilot did not reform when he reached
America. On the contrary, his wickedness
grew with his growth and strengthened with
his strength One keeper after another gave
him up as hopeless case and refused to have
anything to do with him, until finally William
Newman took the savage brute in charge and
managed to obtain the mastery over him.
] Before he was taken in charge by Newman he
