any other locality in the world. It re-
quires moist, mucky, soil, but one
that does not retain stagnant water.
Where facilities exist for distilling the
oil, it is a very profitable crop on land
not considered fit for grain growing.
MANY of the most desirable qualities
of animals have been made inherent by
in-breeding, yet, unless practiced by a
very experienced breeder, in-breeding
should be avoided. 1t is not necessary,
however, to cross different breeds in
order to mingle blood dissimilar, but re-
sort may be had to several families of
the same breed.
SHEEP raising, as conducted in En-
gland, is much more thorough and ju-
dicious than in our country, but we are
learning. A breeder of Hampshire
Downs, Kent, England, has $50 lambs
from 800 ewes this season without the
loss of one, and three years ago had 412
lambs from 321 ewes, without losing a
eve in the preceding winter.
CAREFUL experiments were made last
year in New York state in the culture of
potatoes. The best results followed the
Dutch method of planting, which con-
sists of keeping the surface of the
ground level, planting single eye in a
place, covering it six inches deep, and
allowing but single stalk to grow in
the hills, which are foot apart each
way.
The beetle of the apple-borer is
striped brown and white, and measures
about three-fourths of an inch in length.

"Sir, could I trouble you for drink

"Ventnor," supplied the doctor.
"A glass of WATER" completed Mr..
Branson.
He was addressing his daughter who
had called upon the doctor the evening
before, and she was seated in one of the
bay windows. She put aside her book,
left the room, and returned with glass
of water, which the doctor accepted
with bow.
He was more impressed with her
loneliness than ever. now that he had q
better view of her. Her hair was black
and abundant, her air dignifed, her
manner royal; she was undoubtedly an
Intelligent, refined, sensible, pure
minded young woman.
No glance of recognition passed be-
tween them-at least her father did not
notice any; but the doctor sawa waiting,
wlstful, trustful, anticipating look in

He raised the glass to his lips, and

the contents of the glass.

Gus population contrives to live
there, thanks to the copious springs
which burst from The bottom Of the

grasping its mouth; then he takes
in his right hand a heavy stone,
TO which is attacked a strong line,
and, thus equipped, he plungcs in
and quickly reaches the bottom.-
Instantly opening the bug over the
strong jet Of fresh water, he springs
upon the ascending current, at the
