have the tropical valley and the arctic
region of the Upper Hermon and Lebanon.
We have rich volcanic corn plains in
Bashan and around Jezreel and sandstones
covered with pines and cedars, and hard
limestones over which perennial streams
flow between fine woods of oak and
terebinth in Galilee, and yet more in
Gilead. We have fiat maritime plains,
sandy and marshy, hot and malarious,
bounded by overriding dunes, but well
watered by sluggish streams from the
clear springs at the mountain foot. These
plains run from Carmel to GAIA, ever
widening, and supporting rich harvests.
We have the low chalk hills, with their
luxuriant olive yards and wells of living
water, all along the eastern side of the
maritime plains. Above rise mountains
5000 to 1000 feet high, and on the north
attaining to 10000 feet These are gen.
orally rugged and bare, but carefully ter
raced and partly cultivated. The vine
dourishes on these higher ranges, where
the frost and mist aid the strong reflection
of heat from the rock to ripen the grapes.
But beside these richer districts we have
the old deserts unchanged from the DAYS of
Abraham and of David; the fiat, marty
plateau of Beersheba, where the nomads
feo their hocks and herds as Isaac did be-
fore them; the desolate peaks and gorges
of the Jeshimon, where the dun partridge
and the brown ibex roam as they did when
David hid in these Businesses from Saul.

Exploration does not tend to coun-
tenance the old ideas about a great
change in the climate 1t is q matter
for the naturalist and the geologist to de-
eide, and we know certainly that brooks
OF water could never have flowed on the
surface of the porous chalk of some of
these regions, any more than they can
now. We know also that the land is still
as fertile as of old; still well watered in
certain districts, still with a sufficient rain
fall, and that when inst and stable gov
eminent exists las in Lebanon) the country
still flows with oil and wine.
But what we do learn from a study of
the land and of history is the desolation
wrought by human means in Palestine
We find everywhere the copse covering
the wine press, the thistle growing
among the old field Enclosures, The
terraces in ruins, the old vineyards deserted
the olive yards exterminated and MANY
OF the ancient woods entirely cut down.
The forests which existed in the times of
Titus and of the Crusaders are often en-
tirely destroyed, and fine oak woods are
represented by acres of stumps and roots.
The great Antonine cities beyond Jordan
stand in wilderness full of ruined villages.
over which the Arab wanders with his
herds of camels.
In brief, we see that poverty and decrease
of population, the decay of roads and aoue-
ducts, the ruin of the old cisterns, the de-
struction of the woods, terraces
and vineyards are the causes of the
present desolation. This has often
been pointed out, and experience proves
that, given just and strong government
in the country, Palestine might become,
like southern Italy, q garden of the world

What is to be Done with the Negro?

The negro is no longer problem. He
IS part of the body polite and the body
social of the republic. He is firmly rooted
and cannot be moved. He is here to stay,
and any attempt to disturb him, or to ex-
cite his fears as to his right to life, liberty
and the pursuit OF happiness, is nothing
less than a crime. a question touching
the negro, like any other, must be consid-
cred from this commons standpoint,
and every suggestion for its solution must
be subjected to the probing and searching,
What good?' Prejudice must not be
allowed voice in its solution, and passion
must be excluded from counsel Tae
negro will not consent to his own deporta-
ton. The Southern planters too, would
not if they could, consent to it, nor 10 any
agitation of it, because it unsettles and I'M
hinges the labor that is more profitable
free than 1t ever was or could be in the
days of slavery. The negro is more intel
igent now than than, and therefore more
valuable, because better, closer, and
more skilful worker. Deportation is
sidered. We must, therefore deal
with the negro and treat of him
with the full understanding that we cannot
get rid of him. His commercial value,
experimenting his rights under the Federal
and State Constitutions, says we cannot.
What, then, is to be done with the negro?
Nothing but increase the number of schools
and schoolmasters, make education COM
pulsory, and make technical education
easily available to him in all parts Of the
South. The negro must be taught the vir-
tue of self-relance, and the value of the
Courts as his safeguard and defense under
the Constitution and laws of the nation and
of the States. Agitation exalts the negro
to degree of imaginary importance that
people at the North cannot understand.
He is a sensible man within his limits of
mind and comprehension, so long as he
feels that he is not the center Of 4 pet
anxiety. Agitation has retarded and inter
fered with his growth in the past it has
proved exceedingly mischievous, and is
not to be thought of in The future. 1t

never be fulfilled, and tends to widen the

FEEDING PIGS.
How the Danes Care for Young Porkers
from Birth Until They Are Sold.


Their first food is of course the mothers
milk. After the lapse of three or four
weeks the sow's milk will be found in
sufficient for the rapidly-growing young,
and they should be assisted with a supply
of other kinds of food. For this cows
milk cannot be recommended, inasmuch
as it is liable to subject the young pigs TO
diarrh@a, very probably owing to the cir
cumstance that even fresh COW milk has
the tendency to a securing reaction, and
these young animals are incapable of sup
porting too much acidity. 1t will therefore
be found most advisable 10 give them in
the first instance barley in its whole
state, which will also assist in bringing
forward the teeth grinders. 1t is general
ly the custom to allow the young pigs
to suckle for the space of Six weeks, and
then to wean them by degrees in such
manner that at first they are only al
lowed TO come to the mother three
times in the course of the day, then
twice and finally once. until they are en-
urely taken away from the SOW. A strong,
healthy pig may be taken away from the
mother at the age of FIVE weeks, while the
weaker ones may bepermitted to suck until
their seventh week; by this means they
can often be made TO come up to the first
named. For the weaned pigs sweet COW
milk will be found the most suitable food,
and il should never be forgotten that
abundant feeding is in fact a saving, while
scaDty feeding may be regarded in the
light of waste. The sweet milk by degrees
may be replaced by skinned milk. Dur
ing the first months buttermilk or sour
cream can easily cause diarrhoea When
ever diarrh9a makes its appearance the
trough should at once be cleansed with
soda-lye; and in all cases where these
are old and completely saturated
with the sour matter they should al
ways be replaced by new ones. The
young pigs feed willingly on ground
barley ana steamed potatoes, but this
description of food is not well adapted for
the rapidly growing ySung animals, mas
much as 1t does not contain sufficiency of
pIotelne and mineral substances. 1t will
be more advantageous to give them mix
ture OF rye bran, coarse-ground oats and
outtermllk, 10 which it is recommended to
add a small quantity of prepared bone
dust. Very suitable cakes composed OF oat-
meal, rye bran and bone-dust has ALWAYS
had a favorable influence on the pig devel-
opment. Minced meat is also good feed
Tor the young pigs. 1t is easy of diges-
uon when given together with potatoes
IN the proportion of one to ten or one to
twenty. When the pigs have reached
their third or fourth month they NAV
be SAID to have passed the dangerous stages.
W hen pigs are intended for sale at the age
OF eight or ten months they must be fed at
a uniform and bountiful rate.-fU. S. Con

Opium in China.

Opium is like slavery, or like feudalism
it has grown upon China by the influ-
ences of outside nations The Chinese
complain great deal about the policy of
Great Britain in forcing opium upon the
country but then, when we consider the
fact that China herself, under the policy of
some of the Viceroys. has been growing
opium in the hope of driving out the In
dian crop, 1t really was not matter of dis
cussion, because you are compelled to see
that they lacked candor and were dis
ingenious in their opposition to the opium
traffic. presume that the opium trade
will end in this way, that China will grow
her own opium and probably extinguish
the Indian trade. The Chinese opium is
not as good as the Indian opium, but in
talking to the officials about the opium
question, and in demonstrating with them
upon their encouraging its growth in their
provinces, and saying that this course on
their part led 10 a distrust of their candor in
asking foreign Governments to prevent the
trade, their response was: If we must
take opium, let us raise it." | would say
to them that ! thought, considering the
conditions OF the Chinese population, the
want of food and the necessity, as you
might say, of cultivating every foot of
ground that it might be better to give the
acres where they grew the poppy to wheat
or millet, or corn, or some other food and
that the giving up of so much territory to
poppy led to the occasional famines. But
they had the theory that by growing the
poppy themselves they could prevent the
importation of the Indian crop. Ii always
said that if they had control of the opium
trade they would stop it by an edict from
the throne; but l question that very much
Opium, like any other vice. will take a gen.
Grafton or two to eradicate. 1t has gone
too far now to be held in check by any
legislative or restrictive measure. The sup
preston of opium in China would, think,
mean revolution, and the Government is
notprepared to meet that contingency. At
the same time it is great curse and great
crime John Russell Young, in n. Y.

Fresh Air and ventilation.

The average amount of air breathed by
every person is about "a cubic inches at
each breath, with about 20 respirations q
minute. This would be q cubic foot IN 81
minutes, or 400 cubic feet in a hours, or
the contents of a room seven feet square
and eight feet high. But this is only one
fiftieth part of what every healthy person
needs; for breathing the air exhaled has
100 times as much carbonic acid gas as the
atmosphere while twice the amount con-
tained in the atmosphere, or eight parts in
10000, is as large a proportion as can be
breathed without injury to the health.
Crowded rooms in winter schools, etc. are
sometimes found to contain three or four
times as much, and headaches and other all
mentS are the consequences of breathing the
same air over and over again. There should.
therefore, be enough fresh air for every per
son daily to amount to 10000 cubic feet. or
enough to fill eighteen rooms ten feet
square and ten feet high. This would be
amply supplied by an opening, tube or orr
flee three inches square, with a moderate
current, In the day time there is usually
enough air introduced into rooms through
opening doors, cracks in window castings,
and in other ways. The chief danger is in
sleeping-rooms, where pains should be
taken 10 have a circulation. When the
room is warm and the air outdoors is quite
cold constant and often sufficient currents
are caused. A hundred persons should
have ventilating oritice equal to two and
a half feet square. The general principle
seems to be simple enough the difficulty
lies in the unwillingness or neglect of pe0

Sugar from Sorghum.

The difficulties heretofore encountered
in making sugar from sorghum have been
overcome. Professor Wilsey, who has had
charge of experiments in Ottawa, Kansas,
on the application of the diffusion and car
bonizatiOn of sorghum cane, for the Com
missioner of Agriculture, reports that he
has met with the most gratifying success.
In q preliminary report he says The
yield of sugar from the cane was more
than 90 per cent, only 1900 Of 1 per cent.
being left in the waste water and ex-
hausted chips. The yield of crude sugar
(that is, as 1t comes from the vacuum
PAM went as high as $50 pounds per
ton, or at twelve pounds per gallon,
tBenty-three gallons per ton. This is
fully double that of ordinary methods
The process of carbonization, that is,
adding q large excess of lime to the juice,
and then precipitating it with earbonic
acid, was completely successful. The pro-
duct obtained was lighter in color and
more palatable than the usual method, and
the saving in scums by this method IS esti-
mated to be at least 10 per cent. The diff
culues encountered were entirely of me-
chanical nature and easily overcome" This
is an announcement of first-class import
ance to the people of California, as there is
a large area in the State well adapted to
the raising of sorghum cane. Should the
discoveries made by Prof. Wilsey be OF
practical value, and there seems to be very
little doubt that they will be, revolution
will result in the sugar industry. Califor-
MIA Will then be able TO make her sugar
and relieve herself from the monopoly tc
which she has been paying tribute fol

THE ALMOND CRoP-The product of the
almond orchards of this vicinity, says the
Los Gatos Ne,ps, appears to be greater than
was estimated before the harvest began,
and will generally prove quite remunera-
tive to owners. 1t is now thought that the
large orchard of Mrs. Gardner will turn off
45 tons, and this is not, perhaps, above the
average for this region. The tract embraces
80 acres OF land, and the trees are 10
years old The above estimate places the
average yield per acre at LOCO pounds.
The crop is supposed to have sold for IL
cents per pound, the current wholesale
price at this place being from 10
to II cents. At this figure the returns
will amount to $110 per acre. The
expense of harvesting 1000 pounds and
preparing the same for market is about
SOS, leaving net return of SIS per acre.
The expense of cultivating such an orchard
is light, and any farmer can figure the net
profit The principal objection to almonds
has been the uncertainty of the crop. We
understand that the amount realized last
year by Mrs. Gardner was only $500; but
the year before the crop was large and the
price 10 cents per pound, amounting TO
about $4,000. From these figures it would
seem that, Notwithstanding occasionally a
light crop, the almond is not a bad thing
to invest in. They are easily handled, will
keep indefinitely, can be cheaply shipped,
and there ID no danger of the business being
overdone.
