An Arctic Bouquet.

The Baltim 1re American acknovl-
edges the receipt ola bouquet plucked
by Sergeant julius r. Frederick, men,
ber of the Greedy expedition, between
latitudes 81 degrees and 81 degrees, 200
miles north Of Cape Sabine. The Amer
lean says: The flowers were culled
near Fort Conger, in the high latitude
mentioned, and were pressed and dried
very successfully. They retain coiors
and the green of the leaves with unusual
freshness. They have decided resem-
blance to our spring flowers. There is
a cluster Of yellow blossoms that closely
resemble the 'daffodil that comes be-
fore the swallow dares and takes the
winds of March with beauty and also a
cluster of violet-colored flowers that
resemble our periwinkles and with vio'
lets. There is, too, flower with many
blooms OH a stalk, like a miniature
hollyhock. They are lovely messengers
to tell us of the beauty of spring in the
far, far north. Sergeant Frederick wa
the most able-uodied of the survivor
of tie Greely expedition. He was th'
only and who could have survived forty
eight hours longer. He looks nov
robust and healthy, and, perhaps read.
for another battle with the iceber5s."

KING ALFALFA.

II is conceded on all sides that this
wonderful plant is fast superseding all
ether farm crops in Colorado. Never
was there plant that sprang into pop
ularity so rapidly as has alfalfa. If all
the seed that come into the state, and
all that vas raised here, and was plant
ed-and we have reason to know it was
then there were $1,000 acres seeded.
III looking up the figures we find that
100000 pounds of seed was put into the
earth in 1884, and have reason to believe
think more than that much will be plant
ed in this 1885. The price Of the seed
dealers whom we have conversed with,
that the price will be about 10 cents per
round in the coming spring. The 10, 600
acres that were planted last year should
produce from two and half to five tons
to the acre this year. 1t will not be cut
of reason to expect that the value OF the
crop this year will exceed that of wheat
by four foid. twill furnish the pivot
of Colorado's future prosperity. Live

circumstances a fight is frequently de-

Unless the eye or throat is struck the
fight is long and monotonous, the birds

They are also stimulated to increased
efforts by being fed with grain soaked in
no ma dai o, liquor corresponding to
whisky. Fighting or game cocks are
valuable in China, aid have been bred
for generations. Those of Foo Glow are
the most valuable, and possess few quail

Male rats are very pugnacious, es-
pecially in the spring. They are fed
light during the winter months, and
with ra W meat and fish bones. In March
and April they are in condition, and.
with little excitement, become very
ferocious. They are usually fought in a
small ring not more than three feet in
diameter. These fights are sharp and
short, seldom lasting more than twenty
minutes. Each tries to strike the other
on the throat, Just behind the ear, and

These rats are also fought against dogs
and cats. Generally these combats are
uninteresting, the rat having an iDstinc-
tive fear of both these animals. At times
however, when well trained, they show
fight, and have often been known to kill
the luckless cat or dog put into the pit
against them.
Qualls, strange to say, are all good
| fighters. In the spring and fall they de-
velop a pugilistic instinct, altogether
interesting They fight with beak wing
and claw. The Chinese sport sharpens
the beak to a needle point, trims the
wing and wing feathers until they are a
series Of needles, and works the claws
into similar sharpness. In these fight:
the hen quail is never used. They are
good natured and affectionate. The cock
however, is very bellicose. He differ
from the game cock in his style of work
Two cocks stand up, peck, dodge anC
gatf, and then endeavor to strike eacl
other with the trimmed wings. A sue
cessful blow means temporary binding
and consequent victory for the happ.
striker. Sometimes, especially whel
women are present, the beak and claw

very funny struggle is the consequence
frequently these "soft glove" fights,
the term may be allowed, will keep o.
for hours, and the two birds will dro
down at the end from sheer fatigue.

A CHEAP POTATO DIGGER.

A Weedsport, n. Y, farmer writes to
the Elmira farmers club and describes a
potato digger which he uses. The i'm
plemens, he says, is not expensive, can
be made by any blacksmith of ordinary
ability, and, at the same time, is not
patented humbug. He says it may prop
erly be called horsefork. 1t is simply
