FARM HORTICULTURE.
Various Points for the Consideration G
Large and Small Fruit-Growers.


Various Points for the Consideration of
Large and Small Fruit-Growers.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the
farmer is his desire to avoid as much
labor as possible In a certain sense
this is proper, but when the farmer
places his labor where it produces the
most instead of growing some crops be-
cause they are more easily attended to,
he will find himself gradually becoming
richer. If a small area can be made to
yield as large profit as large space, the
farmer should avail himself of such OPP
portunities We read of gardener
near Baltimore, who sold crop of
gooseberries, in full bearing, on thir-
teen acres, for five hundred dollars an
acre. This was more than could have
been secured from ten crops of corn or
wheat. and ten times az much labor
could have also been bestowed, yet the
crop saved nine years time as compared
with one of grain.
We know of strawberry grower
whose crop cost him twenty-five cents
a quart, yet he sold them at fifty cents a
quart when other growers were glad to
get one-ffth that price. 1t was the
labor that made the crop valuable.
Had he sighted the vines in the least
his profit would have been changed to a
loss. We are not favored with an
abundance of plums in our market,
simply because it requires time and
labor to battle with the curculio. vet
we can point to fruit grower who an
nually grows hundreds of bushels of
plums, and makes large profits by be-
slowing the necessary labor upon the
trees. while his neghbors, who consider
him as undertaking too much risk,
really do more work, require several
years for so doing, and realize less.
The tendency at the present time is
to grow crops at the least expense,
but the question to consider is
whether the more economical modes
are being practiced. There is no
labor, if rightly and intelligently be-
slowed, that will not return itself four
fold One may. however, do a hard
days work, and find it improbable.
There is something else to be considered
other than the simple matter of labor
ing. The labor must be applied where
the greatest benefit. A crop of celery,
be costly to produce, but the profits will
correspond with the original outlay.
Our markets are sometimes 'glutted"
with those articles that are grown with
but little risk, labor or attention, while
scarcity exists in other directions. What
is desirable is that the farmer have no
specialties. His object should be to en-
deavor to produce those things which
he believes will be in demand, and not
to blindly SOW his seed every year and
trust to chances for short supply of
the market.-Farm, Field and Stock

DEVELOPING HEIFERS.
How to Secure Good Growth of Bon.
Muscle and Digestive Powers.

How tn Secure a Good Growth of Bone,
Muscle and Digestive Powers.
Food that produces fat is not the
proper kind for heifers that it is in
tended to keep for the dairy herd, for
what is wanted is to develope the frame
and secure a good growth of bone and
muscle, and strong digestive powers.
Without these COW can not consume
the rations required to give large yield
of butter or milk. There is a constant
drain on the system of heavy mixer,
and cow that does not eat heartily, can
not stand up under it. Cows that are
light feeders and give only moderate
quantity of milk, are not profitable for
the dairymau, and should be weeded
out of the herd.
Up to the age of six months the calf
may be fed on skim-nilk, with which q
little boiled fax-seed, say one-half a gill
per day, should be mixed to prevent
constipation. When the calf is eight
weeks old, it will be found good plan
to add about one pound per day of
wheat middlings or shorts, and at
twelve weeks old the calf may safely have
another pound per day added A good
ration for the winter will be the two
pounds of middiings per day with what
good hay she will cat. Two quarts of
oats per day may be given in place of
the middlings, when this is not easily
obtained and also to make an occasion
al variety in the ration. All kinds of
stock thrive best when they have full
supply of pure water.-Natioa1al Lice

THE MODERN NORTH.
A Short History of the Evolution o.
Classic Prose Fiction.

A Short History of the Evolution of
Classic Prose Fiction.
There is nothing new under the sun,
not even the novel. The claim to its
modern invention might be retorted by
the assertion that Joe Miller himself
was born at Athens and educated at
Bagdad by Scandinavian Skald. One
inquirer traces the origin of the novel
to classic writers, another to the Morse
man, third to the Arabs; fourth at
tempts to reconcile the conflicting
theories. Prose fiction, if followed to its
source through modern novels, ideal
romances, medieval tales of chivalry
and the ballads of ruder ages, will
prove TO be history told in meter. 1t is
in truth an accommodation OF the epic
poem to the average capacity of numer
Gus rea lers. Medieval and ideal ro-
mances passed from fact to fiction;
modern novels approximated from fic-
ton to fact. In the eighteenth century
novels were narrowed by the reaction
against ideal romance into the realism
of Defoe, then expanded into the real
life of Fielding, and finally luxuratel in
the Imagination of Mrs. Radcliffe. Bat
they still retained the characteristic by
which they are dist inguished from
Their romantic predecessors. Mo lern
novels, continued to be fictions
founded on fact Classic Greece and
Rome had no novels in the strict sense
of the term. Among the ancients the
bard became a dramatist; among the
moderns romancer The audience of
the Greek bard was the concentrated in
telligence of city: the medieval min
strel addressed the less cultivated in
mates of scattered baronial halls. 1t
was once conjectured that slavery and
the Oriental separation of the sexes
robbed classic communities of the nov
elst's material. But slavery produced
its Dromios, and the subordination of
women a Xantippe. The contemplated
causes cetebres which exercised the
minds of Roman jurists; the life at
fashionable health resorts like Bai;n or
Sinnessa; the diary of a physician like
Musa; the swarm of Jews, Chaldeans,
Greeks and cut-throats that fringed the
borders of great cities offered material
enough in rich abundance for social
satirsts or painters of manners and
morals. In the baggage of Roscius-
Roman officer serving in Parthia under
Crassus, was found a verso on of the
Miles:an tales of Aristides. But, speak
ing generally, no novelists existed at
Athens or at Rome, because there was
no demand for that form of compost
ton; the delight of the Greek was in
the stage; the diversion of the Roman
consisted in spectacular shows.-Quar.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The Symptoms of the Second Cincinnati
Victim of the Strange Disease


The Symptoms of the Second Cincinnati
Victim of the Strange Disease
Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Some of the Cincinnati doctors think
they have discovered a new disease which,
for lack of a better title, is called hydro
phobia -hysteria. The peculiar case OF
Mrs. Rosa Won Stein, which was reported
a few weeks ago, first attracted attention
to medical phenomenon. 1t was be-
lieved by the attending physicians that
Mrs. Stein was a victim of rabies, but
| many of the essential features of that hor
rible malady were lacking. To the sur
prise of every one, the next day the wom-
an was better, and is now in excellent
health. It could not have been gem
uine hydrophobia, say the physicians, be-
cause recovery would have been impossi-
BILE. On Thursday night case almost
identical to that of Mrs. Won Stein occurred
at 335 Walnut street, in a second-story
room. Alice Burke, ten-year- child
of Mrs. Cordelia Burke, was bitten by a
big Irish setter on July II, while playing
on the street. The dog belonged to Mrs.
Allsup, a lady residing next door, and
afterward bit two or three more children.
However, the animal was not killed, but
developed no symptoms Of rabies. Alice,
who is an interesting and pretty child,
heard of the misfortune of Mrs.
Won Stein, and the matter worried
her great DEAL Besides, unthinking peo-
pie had tormented her by barking at her
as she passed along the street. These
things proved upon her and developed the
seeds of hysteria, which eliminated SO
dreadfully about half past nine O'Clock the
other night. Mrs. Burke had occasion to
go to the door, and when she returned her
daughter was in pitiable fright, and
seemed to be struggling with something
at her throat. The froth began to ooze
out of her mouth, and her bright, black
eyes assumed a CLASSY stare as she
screamed: ooh, take the dog away,
mamma! Oh, he's eating me up! Please
save me from himp'
The poor mother, alarmed beyond ex.
preston, tried to soothe the child, but all
to no purpose, as she seemed to grow rap
idly worse, and was soon apparently in
the throes of hydrophobia. DR.. Helferich,
whose Office is near by, was summoned,
and after looking at the patient sent for
two other physicians. Alice was put I'M
der the soothing influence of bromides and
was much improved, although she had a
slight recurrence of the attack later on.
She will get well. All the medical frater-
nifty who have examined the case say that
it was a severe manifestation of hysteria.

of plain handwriting, and was in the
habit of telling story in point about a
Cincinnati groceryman who wanted a
lot of Gran berries and thought he could
get them cheap in little Kentucky
Town. To tn s end he wrote to GUS
toner at the place, requesting him to
send one hundred bushels of cranber-
ries per S mmons-the name of his
teamster. The writing was so bad that
the party to whom the note was add
dressed could not make out the word
..cranberries' at all, but did conclude
that his correspondent wanted one hun
dred bushels of persimmons, which
were at once gathered and forwarde ed.

down the Patuxent river, Maryland, some-

distance looked like large serpent cross

TO declare that it was a horned serpent.
When the vessel drew still nearer the
monster turned and made directly for tie

pixies to repel boarders. They were not
used, for the animal proved to be a gray
squirrel, which was taken, tired out, from
the water and given his liberty on the
schooner.
