1t is matter Of surprise that while so
much has been done to enrich the useful
flora of California, tree of such remark
able beauty and adaptability to useful
purposes as the bamboo should have
been overlooked or neglected. There is
probably no tree in the world that can
be put to so many uses. In the countries
where it grows it is employed for houses,
fences, hedges, for furniture of every
description, for vessels to contain water
or other liquids-the knots rendering it
easily adapted to this purpose for boats
and RATS, for fuel, while the young shoots
are boiled and eaten as vegetable. This
is but partial enumeration of its num-
berlcss good qualities, while as shade
or ornamental tree it is unsurpassed in
grace and beauty. There remains the
question of its acclimatization in any or
all parts of California. A considerable
degree of heat and good supply of
moisture are popularity supposed to be
everywhere essential to its ell-being.
The bamboo is found on the eastern
coast of Asia, everywhere between the
equator and the thirtieth or fortieth de-
gree of latitude. After disappearing
from the coast it is still found on the
islands further north. 1t grows luXuriantly
in the southern islands of Japan and is
found as far north as Yokohama, where
the winters are as severe as in Southern
Pennsylvania. 1t appears in the south
crn part of Corea, where the winters are
also of marked severity. Successful
efforts have been made to naturalize it
at Nice, in the southern part of France,
where the winters are moderate and the
summers warm and extremely dry. This
would seem to settle the question so far
as latitude and severity of winters is
concerned. San Francisco Chronicle.

luxuriant growth of any vegetation. But
the bean crop is benefited more by ma.
nures, especially mineral, than any
other.
There is q general belief among farm
ers that good wheat cannot be grown
after beans. This failure of wheat on
bean ground is due to several causes.
The crop is very weedy usually when
harvested, and blowing the weeds under
makes the soil too light and porous. We
have had best success in growing wheat
after beans by simply cultivatng the
surface two or three inches deep and then
drilling in the grain. But to do this the
ground must be reasonably free from
weeds.
Every year farmers strain themselves
to get the last acre possible in crops, and
i'll doing so put in more than they can
prepare in the best order. This extra
seeding never pays. Why not omit it,
say with regard to winter wheat, and use
the intervening time between now and
spring in undertaking and manuring.
Then it can be sown with spring grain
with reasonable certainty of greater
profit than from the wheat crop, and then
followed, if desired, by sowing wheat a
year hence with better prospect of profit
than now,

In the life of a medical man of large
and influential practice, there must be
many and varying episodes, but there are
ror the one recently experienced by DR..
Morrison at Paris. A man of fine man
ners and appearance was introduced into
his consulting room, who Immediately
accosted the medical man with this
startling declaration: "For years past
l have been suffering the most intense
agony from disease of the lungs; have
tried every treatment, but in vain.
am informed that the liver cut from the
yet warm human frame will effect a GER
tain cure, and l have chosen you as the
victim"
The doctor gasped with terror as he
saw the maniac advance toward him with
sharp stlletto in his hand, but in
stantly recovering his presence Of mind,
he replied with cool emphasis: "You
are quite right, my friend, but in order
to effect a cure the organ must be in a
sound state; now l have suffered for
years with liver complaint, but | can
introduce you to a brother practitioner
of mine upon whom you can make the
experiment" The mailman consented,
and in few moments he was secured
and conducted to an insane asylum. His
name is Riehl, a native of Hanover, &C.
cupying a wealthy position in society.
DIR. Morrison was so affected by the scene
that he was stricken down with an at
tack of apoplexy on the same night.

scald the husks every few years they will
keep sweet. and you will have a cheap
and comfortable bed.

"SWift Ocean NOyages.r

There is a good deal of humbug about
the so-called swift passages of ocean
steamers across the Atlantic. In the
whole history of ocean travel less than a
dozen passages have been made under
seven days, and those were between New
York and Queenstown only. Now
Queenstown is something of a sail dis
tant from Liverpool, the real end of the
voyage. The very least time required
for the passage between New York and
Liverpool is seven days, to accomplish
which requires the consumption of $50
to 200 tons of coal day, instead of sew
enty to ninety, when not running for
buncombe. Some careful statistician
has worked out the fact that at least =, 500
trips are made by passenger steamers
annually across the Atlantic, not ten of
which are accomplished in seven days,
and not fifty of them in eight days.
Most of the voyages between New York
and Liverpool or Glasgow, Plymouth
and Havre Chose being the four nearest
points of actual de;tinat on occupy nine
or ten days. But Sandy Hook isn't New
York, nor is the sighting horizon off
Queenstown the end of the voyage, by a
very respectable minority. We have
lately done good deal of growing
about our phenomenally fast trips, but
thirtythree years ago the Collins
steamer Baltic ran from Liverpool to New
York in nine days and three hours.--De

Farm and Garden Notes.

Grass takes care of him who sows it.
Onions keep best in a cool, dry place.
Push for either milk or beef. There
is no profit in raising bones or hides.
AS Il partial food there is now no doubt
that wclI-kept ensiage is of great value.
Bees wintering in cellars should be
kept quiet. When disturbed they begin
to consume their stores. A sudden jar
or knock drives the bees to their honey
and keeps them in confusion for some
time
There is shortage of one hundred and
fifty millio1 bushels this year in the
wheat crop of the United States, but a
full crop in every other country. Whether
prices will materially advance at home
is still a problem.
AS rennets differ greatly in strength
the quantity required must be determined
by experiment. The richness of the
milk also eXerts an influence. The
poorer the milk the larger the quantity
of rennet which will be required.

Hon [. G. Nelson wants to stop and
shake hands with every farmer VINO
drives into town with load of well
cured, bright tea-scented hay. He
knows there must be a happy family
with such an intelligent head to it.
Judge farmer by his hay and you won't
be far in the wrong.
The quality of hay is much affected by
the character of the season in which it
was grown. That secured during rainy
summer is not only apt to be stained by
rains, but is in itself less nutritious than
what is grown in dry weather. 1t needs
grain ration to make such hay equal in
feeding value to well cured hay grown
in dry summer.
Much of the barley crop this year is
badly stained, and some is sprouted so
as to be utterly unstable for mating
purposes. Such barley need not, how
ever, be lost. 1t makes, when ground,
the best feed for stock where growth
rather than fattening is required. Some
good farmers every year grow small
patch of barley to give their hogs start
before corn feeding begins.

Angry Bees.

A correspondent in Longman's Maya
zine gives the following incide mt show
ing the dislike which bees have to bad
perfumerv. lie says:
Some years ago there was in my faith
er's garden plat OF early potatoes, some
distance in front of spot where stood
several hives. Early IN the season the
"rooks' commenced to help themselves
to the potatoes, grubbing the young tu-
bers out of the ground and doing so
much mischief that some had to be shot,
and the dead body of one was impaled
in the middle of the plat as a warning
and example to the rest. Soon after this
a most unaccountable fury took posses
sion of the bees. No one dared to APP
proach them, for they attacked and in
stantly put to flight every person or ami
nal which ventured into the garden.
This went on for some days with most
unpleasant results. and the bees were
fast becoming a nuisance in the neigh
borhood, when the mystery was acciden-
tally explained. Some one happening to
pass by the impaled crook" in the even
ing, discovered the cause of all the mis-
chief. Every exposed part of the poor
birds body, especially about the mouth
ard eyes, literally bristling with the
stings of hundreds of bees, which had
sacrificed themselves in vain and sense

Chinese Compliments.

Just before Colonel John S. Mosby,
late United States consul, left Hong
Kong for home a deputation of Chinese
merchants called on him and read to him
this address:
"You are both pure and clear;
And example instructive and
Worthy of imtation
Just and impartial,
Merciful and compassionate,
Accomplished and graceful,
Genial and kind,
Incorruptible and cautious to people;
Thus should an official be, :"
"Pre,ented by the Chinese merchants
at Hong Kong, in the middle of the
sixth moon, in the eleventh year of
Kwong Sui" Accompanying the ad-
dress were a silver cup and two of the
finest screens ever made in China.

Selecting seed Wheat.

Some of the successful wheat growers
in Pennsylvania and Maryland, says the
Miller, have a custom of selecting their
seed wheat from fields that have re-
markable vigol Gus development of straw,
little regard being paid to the fullncss of
the berry. The custom originated with
D. NJ. Good, of Washington county,
Maryland, who, on one occasion, being
short of plump wheat, sowed part of a
field with shrunken seed procured from
neighbor. Contrary to expectations,
the shrunken seed produced much the
finest crop, and, on investigation, Mr.
Good found that it was from field that
had produced heavy growth that lodged
and thus caused the shriveling of the
berry. The theory is that the strength
of constitution of wheat can be deter
mined more by the growth of the straw
than by the fullness of the berry on any
given lot. Those who accept this theory
procure their seed from those farmers
who have exceptional heavy fields of
wheat, and would on no account use
seed from small fields, however plump
the berry itself might be. The same
theory has been practically accepted by
many New England farmers in the Sc
lection of seed rye, as when crop of
new land is found exceptionally heavy
AS it sometime will be, from the ex-
cess of plant fertility in the soil-the en-
tire crop is bought for seed by neighbor-
ing farmers at a slight advance over
market prices. Short straw carries short
heads and consequently the yield must
be light, however plump the kernel may
be. Selecting continually from tall
straw with long heads would naturally
tend to increase productiveness in our
small grains.
