African colonization has already
affected the price Of elephants. An
Indian exchange quotes Asian ele-
plants six feet high at $4,000, ii
gers at $3.50, and panthers at $474.
Yet at recent sales in England ele-
plants have been sold as low as
1900, six lionesses with cubs at
$3.50, a tiger that had devoured two
keepers brought only 1852, and a
panther was traded even for a peo-

have been without the addi-
tional yield which could reasonably
be expected. Besides this, the crops
for years will be benefited.
Itgoes without saying that farm
ers often make grave mistakes in
the selection of crops to be grown
on their lands. Many select the
crops suited to their convenience
and inclination, without a moment
considering the qualifications of
their soil for growing these crOps.
Some coils will not grow certain
crops, and no manipulation can put
them in proper condition for sue
cessful cultivation, when many 9th
er crops would come to their high
lest development on these very same
fields. A little study of the nature
of their soil, the requirements of
certain crops in plant foods, and no
discrimination in the application of
this knowledge, would often have
beneficial effect in determining the
proftableness.of certain crops.
Lime, says the Country Gentle
man, exerts a chemical action upon
the mineral particles of the soil,
dissolving their silicious surfaces
which hold potash and phosphoric
acid, and freeing these invaluable
substances so that they can be ap-
propriated by the roots of the
crops. This is not an inexhaustive
process, because 1t is exerted upon
an inexhaustible store of material,
and as long as any soil remains,
this process can go on without dan
ger Of exhaustion. Lime is, there
fore, useful upon any soil in which
it does not already exist in solu
BILE condition. 1t is more useful
perhaps upon stiff clay soils, be-
cauaa it it .ii0oosens and opens them,
and makes them porous and gives
admission to the air, than upon
sandy soils. 1t is most useful up
on the feldspathic and micaceous
soils, or sandy loalns, because these
minerals conGain from 10 to Is per
cent. of potash, insoluble without
the use Of lime. It should also,
therefore, be used in the finest pos
sible state of division, which is Sc
cure by air shaking, and be most in
timately difused in the soil, that
its action may be as effective as
possible.

1t is a very poor policy to allow
the breeding ewes to become suck
led dswn thin. It is much more
profitable to feed them enough
grain to keep them in good flesh.
They will raise their lambs much
stronger and larger, and will be in
much better condition to breed and
for wintering the next season.

1 endorse the idea of rights OF
farmers wives, and don't think it a
wOman's duty to make herself 8
slave to wait on her husband. Sup
pose a woman should be very busy,
and her husband should come in,
would it be her duty to drop every
thing and place him a chair? [ al
ways consider my husband at
home, and he can help himself. If a
woman is sitting around with moth

lite to offer her husband a chair.
Mrs. Throp seems to thiAk wo-
man should not dress any better
than her husband. I would like to
know how a person should do when
a woman desires a fine dress, and
to be tastefslly arrayed, and her
husband cares for nothing of the
kind. He goes to town with an old
colored shirt on, when there are
white one, ready for him, but will
not take the pains to put one On.
Must his wife work out eff the
kitchen with her wash apron on,
and soiled dress (for occasionally
she will sell her dress in working)
and 60 to town with her husband
in that way? Ne, indeed, 1 would

superior physical strength made man
more valuable in supplying material
resources and in doing the rough
work of the world Hence, those
who could fight with wild beasts, hew
down mighty forests and rocky
mountains, build pyramids and guide

dominates as well in the most refined,

repository of the religious sentiment,

like the old war horses of the Demo

who had the courage to revolt from

other kentuckians, was very poor
judgment. Ii seems that the Hon.
II. ID. McHenry, a particular favor
tie of the warehouses, and for sixteen
wears a member of the National

necessarily sacrificed in the foolish
contest. He was offered the posi-
ton of First Assistant Postmaster
General, a place carrying consider

was persuaded to decline it in order
that the warehouses could show Mr..
Cleveland that they wanted no quarter
and no compromise. And they got
none. Mr.. Thompson lost and Mr..
