Progress and Agriculture.

The progress in agriculture marks

IN agricultural knowledge, aud as this
science ls cultivated, society IN formly

tribe to make an exhibition Of the

family and chief officers, consented to
be present and witness the spect acle

The novelty OF the scene attracted q
great crowd of idle and ignorant ma

Chopping Cornstalks.

The saving in handling OF manure
and Of the liquid part of the manure
itself will alone pay for cutting up
stalks OF corn before feeding. 1t is
not true that cattle can be made to
eat the coarser part Of the stalks ex-
cept by being starved to it, and this
is more expensive than better feeding.
But the uneaten butts make excellent
bedding, absorbing and holding the
liquid excrement better than will
straw. To be done economically,
however, the cutting up of cornstalks
should be done with horsepower or
steam. AS most farmers have idle
horses at this season, g. horse power
with conveniences for cutting stalks
or straw, grinding coarse grain and
saving wood is very handy thing to
have on the premises. By putting the
power under shelter much of this work
may be done IN stormy weather when
out-of-door jobs are impractic8be.

Owls, Hawks and Poultry.

DR.. Warren, Of the Ornithological
Bureau attached to the Agricultural
Department at Washington, has been
making some astonishing discoveries.
He has been examining the crops of
various owls and hawks, and findi. :
no remains Of poultry therein, sagely
concludes that the popular prejudice
against the depredators as chicken
thieves is entirely unfounded. Posi-.
bly, there are s. many other two-leg-
ged depredators on the hen-houses in
and around Washington that poultry
keeping is nearly impossible there; but
if the Doctor will come North he may
find plenty of owls aud hawks with
remains of chickens in them if killed at
the right time. Owls do some good as
destroyers of mice; but the hawk in g.
poultry-raising district is an unmiti
4ated nuisance. 1t does seem some
times as ii the appointment of a man
as ornithologist had the effect of de-
5troying so FAR as this hobby is con-
cerned, whatever natural sense he
previously possessed. Advocates OF
the birds should assume first that the
popular verdict against their favorites
is not presump iva,y mistaken. II
should only be reversed after a thor
ongh sitting or fec gathered from z
vide area of country.

A Paradise Found in Patagonia.

Not long ago Patagonia was believed
TO be one of the most desolate and unin-
viting parts of the world We have
learned within the past 1hree years, how
ever, that great deal of Patagonia is
not to be judged by the bleak and YER
dureless Atlantic seaboard. The Argen-
tine military expeditions have brought
home some astonishing reports, which
are now supplemented by the discover
les of Col. Fontana.
This gentleman, the Argentine gov
ernor of the Chubut province, has just
explored the Chuhut river from its
mouth on the Atlantic coast to its head
streams in the Cordilleras, travelling 1000
miles, and crossing in various directions
large region extending $50 miles south
of AZ south latitude. In letter which
the president of the Argentine Republic
received from him few weeks ago, Col.
Fontana said that he had discovered
many fertile valleys, well-watered plains,
immense tracts of rich pastrage, a
number of lakes, and extensive forests
containing trees of unusual size.
II have found" he writes, "new lands
of superior quality, well adapted for
colonization and cattle raising, with a
healthful climate, an abundance of
wood, and useful minerals. This region,
| believe, is destined to become one of
the most beautiful and prosperous parts
Of the Argentine possessions. IN. Y.

Markets of a Siberian City.

The markets of Irkutsk are an inter
esting sight in winter time, for every
thing on sale is frozen solid. Fish are
piled up in stacks like SO much cord
wood, and meat likewise. All kinds of
fowl are similarly frozen and piled up
Some animals brought into the market
whole are propped up ON their hind legs,
and have the appearance of being act
ually alive; and as you go through the
markets you seem to be surrounded
by living pigs, sheep, oxen, and fowls.
But stranger yet, even the liquids are
frozen solid and sold in blocks. Milk is
frozen into block in this way, with
string or stick frozen into or projecting
from it, for the convenience of the pur-
chaser, who can take his milk by the
stick and carry it home swung across
the shoulder. So, in a sense which is
unknown in other countries, man can
buy his drink with "a stick in it.'-Cen-

Facts Concerning the Sponge Trade.
The first arrival of Mediterranean
sponges are now coming in. They are
shipped first to London; where they are
sorted, cleansed, and packed prior to ex-
port. There are three kinds of sponges,
of which "sheep-wools" are the best,
"velveteens" next, and "grass" the poor
est. st. Louis is a large distributing
point for all kinds, and this seasons inn
portation is exceptionally heavy. The
prices vary from as low as cents TO as
many dollars, but most Of the cheap
sponges come from the gulf of Mexico,
where the yield is very large, but the
quality generally coarser. st. Louis viii
probably have $4,000 pounds weight
from Florida alone this year.
The Mediterranean varieties have the
biggest sale in this country, but while
we import these from London we ship
any quantity of Florida sponges to that
city. English people don't know 1t, but
as matter of fact most of the "Mediter-
ranean' sponges sold in England come
from the gulf of Mexico, and hence the
apparent anomaly of sponges being
great deal cheaper there than here. At
current retail prices there it wouldn't
pay to sell Mediterranean sponges at all.

ATTITUDES AND HEART DISEASE.
