GERMANY AND FRANCE.
An Agreement in Regard to Colonial
Possessions.

BERLIN, February 3d.-The agreement
between France and Germany regarding
their respective possessions on the west
coast of Africa and in the South Seas,
has been submitted to the Reichstag
The agreement contains an amicable
understanding with respect TO the rival
claims of the two Powers to the territory
lying on Biafra bay Germany surrender
ing her assumed sovereignty and protec-
torate over that part of the country lying
south of the River Campo, and France
abandoning all claim TO any territory
north of that river. France recognizes
the German protectorate over the Togo
territory, Porto Sigura and Little Popo, on
the Guinea coast, the frontiers of which
are to be fixed by committee, the start
ing place to be at point on the coast
between Little Popo and Agoona.
Germany renounces all claim TO the
territory on the coast of Senegambia
between Rio Numes and Mallacerew,
especially Koba and Habitat, and agrees
to refrain from interposing any obstacles
in the way of the French occupation OF
the New Hebrides, France agreeing to
put the Hamburg firm of Colin upon the
same footing as the French firms in
Koba and Kabatai concerning freedom

AND N

Bacteria is really fungi, but as
there are different kinds Of fungi, it
is not out Of place to state that al
though fungi is considered a minute
parasitic plant, it is not an easy
matter to draw the line as to what
class it belongs. There are hundreds
of different kinds of fungi, and each
has it's own field of operations and
feeds on special substances. When
we notice the decay Or fermentation
of dead matter we may come to the
conclusion that millions of the small
est vegetable parasites are busily at
work. 1t is their special food, and
they do not attack living creatures,
but there is no escape, for other kinds
of fungi attack the living, whether
vegetables, fish, birds, or animals,
and we Class their work of destruc-
ton as that of disease. Some species
of fungi also attack both the dead
and the living, having a wider range
of destruction, and to this class bac-
terra belongs. The mildew of the
berries, the rot of the grapes, the
potato disease, corn and wheat smut,
and even some diseases of animals
may be ascribed to fungi. In future
science will assist in unraveling some
of the mysteries surrounding the
work of fungi. We may retard and
prevent injury, but the rapid multi
plication Of the fungi gives but little
hope Of escape from molestation.
One Of the difficulties in the way is
that a remedy against one kind is
not a remedy for another, and until
the time arrives when a more COM
plete knowledge is gained, and the
parasites classified, and their habits
and characters known, we will have
to battle against them in the dark,
and depend upon care and vigi-
lance as the only safe and sure safe
guard against depredations from
such sources.-EGchdnge.

A CONDENSED PRODUCT.

The Importance and value of the
hog in civilization is not generally
understood. Every part of the ami
NAL is valuable except a portion of
the intestines. In no country of the
world is there sc many swine raised,
according to the population, and in
no other country are they so eco
nomically raised and fattened as in
the West. We have four-ffths as
many swine as inhabitants, or 49,
OO0, 600, and the average life Of the
hog is but little more than a year.
Russia has only 1O,839,93 swine;

DEHOKNING CATTLE IN THE
WEST.

[ tried Mr.. Haaf's plan of dehorn-
ing cattle, and like it very much. I
have a thoroughbred Holstein bull,
4 years old next June. He was
always very quiet until this spring.
| let him run at large in small pas
lures with the COWS, and he got in
dependent and threatened the pass
ers-by, and would meet me half way
when | went out with a bucket of
water to feed him, and I had to
drop the corn and give back for
him. So I concluded [ had always
been boss, and [ would just dehorn
him. / put him in the barn and
and with the assistance of the ring
in his nose, I tied him up to a post
with a three-fourth inch rope about
his head and neck, and then took an
old gunny-sack and blinded his eyes
so he could not see to fight me; I
then took a fine tooth meat saw and
sawed both horns off close to the
head, or at the seam between the
head and horn. He bled some three
or four tablespoonfuls ofblood in all.
Then | turned him out and let him
run two days: then took him up and
used a small can Of pine tar on the
stumps to keep the flies off, and a
little sprinkle of spirits of turpen-
tine. But it is all healed up now
and well. He is as docile as a calf
now, and my little boys s and II
years old, drive him where they
please. AS for hooking and butting
the other cattle, my three year old
COW can eat corn from the same
bucket with him. His head was so
sore and tender he will remember it
for six months before he can begin
to learn to butt anything. The
horses run in the same lot with him
safely. | think it is the best way
to keep control Of horned cattle, and
does not hurt the looks Of the ami
NAL half SO much as [ expected. He
looks just as the Polled Angus cattle
do, without horns. I believe I a
save feed and much abuse to cattle
and stable room by dehorning all of
them, especially the old ones, and
lifting the horn germs off the calves
at three months old with the point
of a sharp knife. w. A.. 7.

the United States alone produces a
surplus.
Every part of the hog is utilized
in the great packing establishments
of this country. The hide, hair, tat,
flesh, lgament, tendon and bone
all used-and the small intestlnes
and a portion of the larger are put
to some use. The hair and brlstles
Of the hog will give an indication OF
how every part is made to pay. Inc
hair alone on a hog will average to
be worth 5 cents.
The Chicago Mail lately gave the
process by which the hair was saved
and made merchantable, from which
we collect the following facts:
"When a hog is scalded two men
range themselves on either side OF
the bench on which the carcass lies
and with tweezers rapidly pick out
the large bristles. These are care
fully packed in a barrel and pre-
pared for shoemakers' use. The
hands Of the men fly like lightning
in this work, while a keenness of
vision is absolutely necessary: Then
the scraping machine is brought into
play, and like a flash the hog is as
smooth as an egg from snout to
tail-tip."
The hair is then carefully and
thoroughly washed, pressed and
forked into carts and taken to the
Fairfield, where it is spread out like
new-mown hay. It is not quite so
aromatic, however. Two Of these
many plats of ground in Chicago are
each over one hundred acres in
extent.
The "curing" process usually occu-
pies all of four months. 1t is shaken
up and winnowed constantly until
thoroughly dry, and all the foreign
particles have been shaken off. The
bristle department requires special
care. The hair is packed in bales
and shipped to be assorted by hand
and sold to manufacturers.
Numerous devices have been in
vented in the past few years for the
cleansing and curing Of hogs hair,
the object being thoroughness and
expedition. None, however, was
satisfactory until a patent was tested
a short time since, which performs
the work of four months in four
hours.-Fdrm, Field and St0ckman.

farmers whose crops on the averana
have more than doubled ours. eros,,
tenant was bound by his lease -
conform to it, and never to follow
grain crop with another one of tba
same kind. The reason for this was
and is that the growth Of consecn
tive crops of the same kind rapidIv
exhausts the soil, or encourages tbye
growth of weeds. 1t is found in thO
natural growth Of plants and forests
that a certain growth is genera]lv
succeeded-after it has attained is
maturity-by a different kind Of
vegetation; forinstance, when a pine
forest has been cut off, or has been
destroyed by fire, hard woods SUE.
coed it, or when oaks or other hard
woods have been cut off, pines grow
in their place. The old fields Of the
South are a standing example Of
this, and the cold field pine" covers
the abandoned land from which
hard wood forest was cut off. to
make room for tobacco and cotton,
The explanation Of this fact is, that
hard woods r rich of potash and
taking a large quantity Of this eIe-
ment from the soil, leaves the land
deficient in it, and unable to produce
another growth Of hard woods, but
as pine is rich in silica and poor of
potash, and having an abundance of
silica, produces the pine with ease.
when it could not produce oaks.
hickories and other hard woods.
The same principle applies to farm
crops, and hence wheat is followed
by grass or clover, and these with
corn, and corn with oats or barley;
and then the land is manured, and
wheat is grown again. In practice,
we think this rotation is too short,
and would be greatly improved by
a root crop after corn, and oats and
barley after the roots, with clover
following and the second years
clover plowed in for wheat with
which grass is sown, with clover
added in the spring. But this, too,
might be improved, perhaps, by
sowing the grass and clover to
themselves in the spring, and not
with the wheat or early in the fall,
as soon as the wheat is removed,
thus permitting the soil to be thor
oughly prepared for the grass seed
ing, by which it's success is greatly
encouraged.-American Agrlcultuns'

ing moistened cut feed is less wearing
to the teeth than whole grain. Oats
especially are apt to be gritty, be-
sides being stimulating. An oat-ted
horse will overwork himself and be-
come worthless at a comparatively
early age.
KILLING SURPLUS FOWLS.
Summer, when eggs are cheap and
fresh meats in the country scarce
and diffiult to get, is just the time to
thin out surplus fowls. The roos-
tiers should be first disposed of, as no
more breeding is desirable this sea-
son. The hens will lay as we'll or
better without their attentions.
Then resolutely kill the hens two
years old or over, and Gull out the
poorest Of the younger flock. In
this way only a a first-class lot be
maintained, and a few of the best
are much more profitable than a
great many poor ones.
SILVER HULL BUCKwHEAT.
Thisnew variety, commonly known
as gray buckwheat, has the pecu-
liarity Of remaining in blossom a
long time. 1t begins early and will
continue blossoming until frost. This
makes it excellent for beekeepers,
but also makes it difficult to save the
crop without some loss. The grower
must use his best judgment in cut
ting when the largest portion is ma
ture, but the long period of bloom
ing insures against entire failure. 1t
is apt to be rather thin-skinned, and
in a good season to make more flour
to the bushel than the Old-fashiOned
kind.
TREES U OF PLACE.
A large proportion of trees planted
never serve the purpose designed,
whether for ornament or fruit. A
little judgment or study as to the
probable size of trees when mature
will guard against setting Norway
spruce, for instance, within four or
five feet of house, or apple trees in a
little yard which one full-grown tree
would more than fill. There is
nothing more common in some cities
than to see valuable lots filled with
apple trees planted ten, or at most
twelve, feet apart. Long before they
get to be of bearing size they will be
removed as worthless cumberers of
the ground.
OvER-FEEDING IN sOILING.
One chief reason for many failures
in soiling is overlooking. Green food
in warm weather sours rapidly, and
if only a little more is given than
will be eaten clean it soon becomes
very offensive. And herein lies the
economy of feeding some grain or
meal, not with but after giving the
green food. We a give them no
more of the soiling ration than will
be eaten clean, and yet with grain
or meal run no risk Of giving less
than is needed. The fact is that the
food last given tempts the appetite
and induces the animal to eat more
than it otherwise would, which is
always an advantage.
