INTENSIVE FARMING.

The article in the Southern World
on Offensive Farming and Rotation

the Standard as intended, but appears
this week. This is an interesting arti,
Gle, the subject being one of much i'm.
portance we think, to the taEmer. La,
Dor is one of the most expensive items
in farming and should be utilized to
the best advantage. 1t costs no more
labor to cultivate a rich, than poor
acre, while the former gives a much
more satisfactory return. Such of US
as have no rich acres to cultivate should
endeaver to make few rich each year
by concentrating our fertilizers. By
carefully collecting all the barn yard
manure, ashes, leaf mould, muck and
such other plant food as may be gather.
ed on the farm, we may soon make and
continually keep a few acres rich,
which, when properly cultivated will
yield more food for man and beast, than
many acres of poor land. When found
profitable, reliable commercial fertili.
zers may be added in such quantity as
may be found by experiment to pay.
In farming operations, it is no less IN,
portant for the farmer to keep correct
accounts of his disbursements and re-
ceipts, than the merchant, He should
know whether his business pays or moi
and how much it pays.

Hard to Stomach.

A State exchange states that trout
was caught in creek emptying into
Grand Lake. which had in its stomach
an undigested squirrel. H'ml That
recalls to our mind one day last sum-
mer when we were casting our flies up
an derfringed brook near Moosehead
Lake, and big trout, regular old he
fellow, rose to our brown hackle. We
struck him successfully, and after a
desperate struggle, during which the
canoe was upset four distinct times,
succeeded in landing the speckled mon
ster. Bearing him campward, Al Man
sell, the guide, whipped CIT his tobac-
co knife and began cleaning the fish for
supper. Pres ntly we were aroused
by the guides exclamation of surprise,
and he held up to our view very large
sized squirrel that he had taken in
completely undigested state from the
trout's stomach. Commenting upon the
singular affair, we were curious to pur-
sue the matter further, and investiga-
ton disclosed inside the stomach of the
squirrel green snake, also undigested,
and inside the snake large frog, inside
the frog another squirrel, trifle larger
than the first one, inside this sec
ond squirrel mink, and inside the
mink medium-sized beaver, tail and
all being in a wonderful state of preser-
walton. We asked Mansell if he ever
had seen anything like it before, and he
confessed that he never had. so far as
he could remember, although he had
been in Chicago twice We acknowledge
ourself that it is somewhat remarkable,
and we've no doubt our readers will
look at it in that way. But there can
be no doubt as to the accuracy of our
statement, as we are going back next
summer to the same spot where it all
occurred. -ROckldnd Courier Gazette.

as it true that the original ships
compass was made of lodestone?" was
asked of dealer in compasses and
chronometers.
"Yes. Magnetic iron ore on bit of
wood floating in basin of water is said
to have been the original compass.
There are old sailors living now who
can remember when the needle was at
tached to piece of wood floating in a
bowl. The first attempt at improve
ment was to attach the needle to card
ON which the thirty-two points of the
compass were marked. The card was
balanced at It's center on hardened
steel point or pivot, the cap that rested
on the point being made of agate, gar
net or sapphire, to reduce friction The
pivot was erected from the center of the
bottom of bowl that was suspended in
what are called gimbals, an arrange
ment of rings and pivots which kept the
top of the bowl, and therefore the COM
pass card, always horizontal, whatever
the ships position. The great point at
which the manufacturer hoped to ar
rive was such an arrangement of the
various parts of the compass as would
leave the needle in its position undis-
turbed when the ship swung around.
The most perfect construction of tho
pivot and its cap was found faulty in
that the point eventually wore down a
collar, so that the card moved with the
ship.
