The Devon for Rough Land.
Farm Field and Stockman.


The Devon is not considered the best
breed for beef, milk or butter yet it com
bines all those qualities to a certain ex-
tent, and considering its hardness, activ-
ity and ability to exist on scanty pastures
it is really one of the most desirable of
our breeds. As workoxen the Devons are
superior to all other cattle, being rapid
walkers, strong and enduring. If we were
asked to recommend some special breed
for crossing on natives that are accustom-
ed to picking up their food in the woods,
or on abandoned fields, with steep hill
sides to climb, We do not think any breed
could compare with the Devons for that
purpose. We admit that the beef breeds
will increase the weight of the carcasses,
and that the butter and milk breeds will
cause larger yields, but the conditions
must be changed to conform to the OBJ
ject desired, and therefore the pastures
and grazing must be better. We are not
favorable to the recommendation of any
breed which does not induce the farmer to
adopt better methods as well as better
stock, but there are those who think it
economical to turn their cows on the
woods and bare places, and who will not
improve with any class of stock that can
exist under such circumstances. The
Devon is the best for this purpose, and
though we place the Devon in such po
sition, yet it is not because it can not be
made useful in other respects. 1t is real
ly an excellent breed, is large, makes
good beef, gives rich milk and more than
the average quantity, and like other class
es of stock, does best on good past
ures and kind treatment. being one
of the most useful breeds that is
known.

Farm, Field and Stockmau.

The proper time to begin watermelon
culture is the year before the crop is to
be raised. A sward is the best possible
land, since it is comparatively free from
insects and at the same time rich in its
natural constituents of growth. 1t should
be plowed as early in the autumn as
possible, or early in September. If this
is done many of the insects will be killed
and the soil will be so far rotten by the
time the melons are to be planted, wheth-
err they be water or muskmelons, that the
soil may be brought into perfect condi-
ton for the subsequent cultivation.
As to this and the fertilization, the soil
for watermelons and cantaloupes should
be very light, and although the crop does
best when showers are frequent, yet moth
ing is so injurious as TO attempt to keep
them too damp. A wet soil is very I'M
favorable, and as the roots grew as fast
as the tops, too much working around the
plants will not answer. On heavy lands
where the attempt Is made to grow them,
provided the season is long enough,
deep hole is dug, stones or chips put in,
and well rotted manure placed over them.
The manure Is then covered with a few
inches of rich dirt, and the seed planted.
This gives thorough understanding, pro-
vided the ground is also drained other
wise, and permits of the air and heat en-
tering, the cold moisture being either
evaporated or allowed to pass below. The
plants should be well worked until they
begin to run. Then only the ground be-
fore the running vines should be worked.
but the grass and weeds should be pulled
ont. 1t has been claimed that by pinch
ing back the vines after the fruit has set
the melons will be better and larger, but
such has not always proved true. The
best fertilizer is plenty of rotted manure,
with handful of a mixture of ashes
and superphosp hate around thu ground
over which the plants run, about the time
of the ripening of the fruit.

Can Imagination Kill"


This is, perhaps, hardly the correct
form of question that the British and
Colonial Druggist puts to itself in dis
cussing the death of the young woman at
Hackney under circumstances in which a
certain insect powder largely figured. As
the powder appears, by DR.. Tidy's expert
ment, to be perfectly harmless, the sug-
gestion is not unnaturally made that the
deceased, who was possibly of an hyster-
ical highly imaginative turn of mind,
took the powder in the full belief that by
its means her death might be accomplish
ed. The writer of the article in our con
temporary, we think wrongly brings for
ward two remarkable instances of what
may be regarded as practical jokes with
melancholy examinations. In the case of
the convict delivered up to the scientist
for the purpose of psychological eXper-
lment (the man was strapped to table
and blindfOlded, Ostensibly to be held to
death; a syphon containing water was
placed near his head and the fluid was al
lowed to trickle audibly into a vessel be
low it, at the same time that trifing
scratch with a needle was inflicted on the
culprits neck; it is said that death occurred
at the end of six minutes), fear must have
played no inconsiderable share in the ia
tai result and we do not know whether all
the vital organs were in a sound condi-
ton, though they were presumably so.
The old story of the case of a college
porter is also one in point. The students
entrapped him into room at night, a
mock inquiry was held, and the punish
ment of death by decapitation decreed for
his want of consideration to the students.
1t is a small wonder that, under the do
minion of fear and belief in the earnest
ness of his tormentors, the sight of an
ak and block, with subsequent blindfold-
ing and necessary genufexion, & smart
rap with wet towel on the back Of his
neck should have been followed by the
picking up of corpse.
