A gray-coated squirrel
Sat up in tree,
As happy as ever
A squirrel could be.
There were nuts all around him;
Below, overhead,
''I'll gather them in
For the WINTER" he said.
He tossed his wise head,
And winked his bright eye,
As he thought OF the dinners
These nuts would supply.
But never thought
To the children gave he,
This selfish gray squirrel
Perehed up in the tree.

Agriculture and Horticulture.

Chemistry has been called ''the cor
ner-stone of agriculture It is true in
the abstract, for by chemical change the
plant is enabled to receive the elements
that 60 towards their organization.
agriculture is the groundwork of the
wealth of nations,'' is universally re-.
ceived axiom. 1t is true that without
agriculture no nation could emerge from
barbarism, and the higher the agricul-
ture the greater the possible civilization,
but none but the crudest agriculture
could exist unless manufactures, art and
commerce rendered implements perfect
and cheap, with commerce to quickly
and economically transport the products
OF agriculture. Horticulture may be
called the poetry of agriculture. 1t is
mind, creates love for the beautiful
and its products are the most healthful
food of man. An Indifferent farmer
never made good horticulturist. A
good farmer may, for to be successful he
must begin by being a good farmer
The word agriculture is derived from
the Latin words ager, field, and cul-
tara, cultivation. Literally the cultiva-
tiOn of a field. From the first we also
get our word acre, which was undOubted-
ly originally used to express husbandry.
Now it is used in its broad sense, to
embrace all that pertains to the farm,
the orchard, the garden and the orna-
mentation OF the homestead. The
word husbandry is now used to
denote what pertains to the farm,
and the word horticulture all that
pertains to the garden. The word hor-
ticulture comes from two Latin words
hortuS, a garden, and .culturd, from
cOtere to till. 1t is now subdivided into
.pomology, the culture of orchards; hor-
ticulture, the culture of forest trees;
gardening, the cultivation of garden
fruits and vegetables; Horticulture, the
florist art, and landscape gardening or
the formation of artificial effects in the
landscape, the highest art in horticult-
ure. Husbandry is also now divided
into many and separate branches.
although one or more are generally
combined. The two great divisions OF
husbandry are field husbandry, subdi-
vided into grain husbandry, grass hus-
bandry. seed husbandry, cotton-plant-
ing. sugar-cane planting, tobacco cult
ure and hemp raising; when several of
these are combined it is called mixed
husbandry. The other great division of
husbandry is stock raising. This again
is divided into horse breeding, cattle
breeding, sheep husbandry, swine
breeding, poultry raising and stock
feeding and fattening. When a number
of the divisions are combined it is
called mixed husbandry, the most
profitable of all, and.he whose land is
suitable for the greatest combination
and is himself competent to superin-
tend each division is in situation to
place himself on the road to success,
and to surpass those who are not so
fortunately circumstanced. 1t is always
best, however, to be confined in your
agricultural operations to such branches
as You understand and your land and
locality are best adapted for.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

Encourage the Birds.

War is being waged by farmers
against all birds, except few popular
songsters. and most boys are taught
that birds and birds nests are their
rightful prey. These little creatures dc
They will pick up seed that has not
been well covered, but that ought to
teach the farmerto SOW his seeds more
carefully. They will feast upon the ripe
grain, and sometimes DESTROY more
than they eat; but the farmer seldom
considers that he might not have any
grain to harvest, were it not for these
same feathered intruders. During the
time between sowing and harvesting.
birds must live upon something besides
grain, and fancy that farmers seldom
think that that something is principally
insects, and the eggs of insects. They
rear their young on these, and one can
hardly estimate the immense number of
insects thus DESTROYED. Were it not
for this safeguard that nature has kind
ly furnished us in the form of the feath-
cred race, the world would, according
to the best calculations, be completely
over-run in afew years of uninterrupted
propagation. with crawling, singing
pests. Birds have an important work
to do, and we should aid them with all
the means at our command; certainly
we can not afford to destroy our pro-
tectors. Every farmer should teach his
children to cherish and protect their
feathered friends Encourage the birds,
and children too, by building bird
houses about the farm buildings. Teach
the boys to build these houses. and thus
serve two purposes at once-accustom-
ing them to the use of tools, and i'm
bu:ng their minds with humane senti-
ments. Many a farm home knows
naught of music but that which floats
on the air from natures own orchestra
Let us have all the sweet sounds we
can. to soften and tighten our rural
toils.-W. D. Boynton, in american a

A New Discovery.

One of the professors at the Univer-
sity of Texas was invited to q social
gathering not long since. at which some
of the first people of Austin were pres
ent. During The conversation which
took place, the subject of cruelty to
animals was discussed. One of the
gentlemen remarked that great deal
of cruelty was perpetrated on animals
in conveying them to market in crowd
ed cars, and in slaughtering them after
wards-Beef cattle in particular. were
cruelty treated.
Eyes, gentlemen" said the professor,
% there is great deal of truth IN what
you say. The unfortunate animals have
to suffer great deal. but science is do
.ng away with tho necessity of slaugh-
tering animals for human food"

Gus De Smith.

Esauimau Dogs;

When at Fort Albany we saw several
Esquimau dogs, a species of canine I'M
known in civilized communities. These
dogs are very large, larger than our
Newfoundland, and much stronger
when IN condition. Their strength,
however. varies. In the winter, when
they are well ted for driving, they are
much stouter and stronger than in sum.
mer, when they are poorly fed, without
exercise: and languid from the heat,
which is very telling upon them, a.
their native climate far to the north is
invariably severe. Their colors are
white and yellow-while impure breeds
are white and black-the hair thick and
bushy, and the tail long, bushy and
curling up at the end. At times they
are very quiet, at others very savage.
They are driven ordinarily five in mum.
Der, but often many more, before sleds,
one, invariably 3 female leading,
for tie others will follow her
more readily. Each dog has 8
separate rein, which is held by the
driver, who has also great long whip
made of sealskin, plated as ordinary
whips, but with the heavy part of the
lash about the thickness of a mans
wrist. The lash is from six to nine
fathoms long, and the handle made
of woods from a foot to a foot and
a-half'11 length. When dog is not
drawing properly or misbehaving in
any way he or she is drawn by his sepa-
rate rein out of the rest of the pack to
receive chastisement with the whip,
and so we'll do they know what is COM
ing that just as soon as the rein is pulled
the victim begins yelping and strug.
CLING to correct his or her ways before
the whip comes laundering along.
Great skill is required in the use Of
these whips, for if not properly handled
the great heavy lash cracks around the
manipulator' body and legs, intiictine
very painful and sometimes severe
wounds. But in the hands of person
skilled in the use of them tkese whips
can be used with great procession and
effect, sometimes completely cutting a
dogs ear of.
Very remarkable stories are told
about the manner in which the Esqui-
maux handle their whips, but are, ]
imagine, slightly exaggerated. 1t is
said that they have frequently attacked
and killed white bears, the most fero-
cious animals in the vicinity of James
Bay, with knife attached to the end
of whip. One of our party "tried
his hand" with one of these dog
whips, and succeeded in furnishing his
legs rather severely, while a Hudson
Bay company's officer used it with as
much ease and precision as horseman
would have used an ordinary whip.
Some Esquimaux dogs at Fort Albany
had to be tied long distance apart
with long chains, while whole fish were
thrown to them, which they'd devour
with a suddenness which was astonish-
ing, lest in their greed they'd turn
upon each other. They are quite un-
manageable when they get on the track
of deer, and no person can check
them in their wild career as they gal
lop up hill and down dale" over ice
and snow, and through bush, with the
sled behind them in pursuit of their
prey. Ordinarily, they make about
sixty miles day, and very pleasantly
and comfortably does man travel in
these northern regions wrapped up in
blankets and furs upon a dog-sled.-
