Now, would not that old umbrella do"
so into the house the farmer went,
And away to the field the umbrella sent.
One rainy day the farmer went out
To view the cOrnfelds laying about;
He neared the umbrella; looked inside;
And what he saw, made him laugh till he
cried!
For in there, ont OF the rainy weather,
A dozen crows were huddled together!
So the farmer LAUGHING as farmers should,
Said fear my scarecrow did little good"

Future of AgricuItnre.

The Nashville american records the
successful trial near that city of a gang
plow drawn by traction engine. The
ground in which th~ PloWIng was done
was billy. and was extremely dry and
hard, so much so that it was impossible
to plow with horse power, The 71zx1O
traction engine drew a gang of six plows,
each cutting a furrow fourteen inches
wide. A half acre of land was broken
we'll in half an hour. The experiment
was pronounced a great success.
The american is mistaken in its asser-
ton that this was the first steam plow
used south OF the Ohio river. Steam plows
have been in use for several years in LouI-
siana end Mississippi, and perhaps in
other States Of the South. The plows,
however, are drawn by means of wire
ropes attached to engines at the ends of
the rows. Perhaps this was the first in
stance of a steam plOw being used in the
South where the gang of plows was at
tached direct to the engine.
1t seems that this experiment created a
good deal of excitement on the sub
ject of blowing by steam in
Tennessee. There is no doubt
that it is both practicable and advisable,
where the ground is free of stumps and
stones and fuel car be obtained without
much cost. A steam plOw complete,
however, requires the outlay of enough
money to buy a small farm, and few farm
ers comparatively will be found willing
to put from $1,000 to $4,000 in an invest
ment of this kind. The negro and mule
are likely to maintain their supremacy
on the farms of the South for a long time
to come.
There is a strong probability that the
use of plows drawn by steam VIII never
become common. By the time agriculture
reaches the point where a substitute for
animal power for blowing and hauling
shall be generally demanded, in all prob
ability the electric motor will have been
so perfected as to take the place of the
steam engine for almost all purposes
where power is required. With improved
accumulatOrs farmers will utilize the
wind or water power, and while they are
asleep the elements will be storing up
hitherto wasted energies to be devoted to
the service of man. There will be no IN
due heat, no smoke, no danger of explo-
sion, no cutting wood or hauling coal.
In all probability not only Will the cleo
trio motors be made to do the blowing,
but the planting, harvesting, threshing,
ginning and hauling as well. Perhaps in
fifty to a hundred years from now horses
will be rarely used in agriculture.
When electrical progress shall have
reached the point where the power of the
elements can be utilized with economy
and certainty, farming may be robbed of
many of the hardships that at present at
tend it. Even the housewife may use it
for sewing, churning, washing, ironing,
cooking, heating and lighting. It's to be
regretted that this generation will not en-
joy the good time that seems to
be coming. Perhaps the next generation
may only partially reap the benefits Of
scientific progress, but the happy period
can hardly be delayed beyond the third
generation. The present state of the
electric science is an earnest of what is
sure to come in the not very remote fu-
ture.

Chinese PossibiIities.

While all the world has been sneering
at Chinese imbeciIity and cowardice,
there is no doubt that the people of the
Celestial Empire have made substantial
progress within the past few years. They
have learned the value of steam, cleo
tTicity and nearly all modern inventions,
and there are some slight indications that
with improved arms and proper training
Chinese troops may make very respecta-
bic soldiers.
China is making considerable efforts
to have certain classes OF her
people learned in all the lore
of the "Western Barbarians." 1t may be
that eventually her rulers may learn
something about the science of govern
ment. Properly ruled China would soon
become one Of the richest nations on
earth. The people can live on nothing,
almost, and are generally industrious and
thrifty.
If China should make as rapid strides
in Western civilization as Japan has,
in twenty years she would be a formidable
power indeed. With plenty of money in
her treasury, and the best of war ma
terial, and millions of men at her COM
mand, she might defy the world. 1t is
not likely that her troops will long be
tainted with want of courage. A few
little wars may teach them how to light.
The population of China is not far short
of 4OO,OOO,O 900. 1t may be that the military
organization of the Empire viii one day
be so perfected that in an extreme emer-
gency 10000, 600 men could be put in the
field. This would be about five times as
many men as were in the largest levy Of
troops ever made in the history of the
world. If the Chinese should become bold
and aggressive, what nation could stand
against them? They might overrun the
world like a tidal wave and establish
their hordes in the fairest portions of the
earth. What could all Europe do towards
stopping the march of even 100000 of
courageous and well armed fighting men?

Tenants in Havana are not complaining
of high rents just now. 1t is stated that
1900 houses in that city are vacant, while
owing to the general depression many
landlords are allowing those who have
been good tenants, and who are now un-
able to pay, to live in their houses free of
rent. The real estate market is broken
up. There seems TO be no hope that the
end Of the trouble is near.

The rather remarkable fact was devel-
oped by an inquisitive detective the other
day that there is no reward offered for the
arrest Of Capt. HOwgate, who left the
government to mourn his departure with
a bag of cash several years ago. A re-
ward was offered by the Marshal, from
whose custody the prisoner escaped, but
that has lapsed, and now there is no in
ducement for anyone to make extra eff
forts to ascertain the absconder's where
abouts and secure his arrest. 1t is be-
lieved that certain detectives would
bring HOwgate to Washington within a
week if a suitable reward could be Sc
cured.
