The Sheep and the Fox.

A sheep was about to cross a shall
low river, when a fox came out of
the bushes and begged for a ride
across, saying:
''If l can ever recIprocate the favor
l shall be only too glad to do SOD
The sheep permitted him to occupy
seat on her back and carried him
safely over. A few days later she
was in great distress of mind over
her lost lamb, and called to the fox
to assist in the search.

naturally criticised Mr.. Blaine for
the form of one of his dispatches to
the English government when Blaine
was Secretary of State. 1T seemed

Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane culture is very profitable to
the Southern farmer in some portions of the
South. 1t gives him a better profit than
cotton and it should not be neglected. 1t is
necessary to use good supply of fertilizer
to produce good cane.
Cottonseed and good grade of guano
give the best results. Stable manure is not
good for cane. 1t produces dark and
strong syrup which will not bring good
price. On ordinary upland 100 bushels of
cotton seed and 200 pounds of guano are
sufficient for an acre.
AS general thing farmers use too much
seed on the land. Cane should have dis
lance as we'll as other crops. 1t should be
cut IS inches long and put 12 inches apart
in the drill, and it should never be Tapped, as
Tapping causes it to dry out or rot at the ends,
and very often wood lice will trouble it and
the stand will be poor. If given good
distance the soil will settle down between
the pieces Of seed and all the good eyes will
come up The stalks will be larger and
there will be more succors, consequently a
greater number of stalks to the seeds II
nlanted thicker the stocks will be smaller
and will not succor.
Care should be taken when the seed is cut
to avoid splitting and bruising the eyes. A
sharp Ratchet is the best instrument to cut
with. Use a block about four inches wide
TO chop on. Cane should not be planted
until the eyes swell sufficient to tell the af-
fected stalks. II planted before that affected
stalks are put in and a poor stand is the re-
suit. Land should be well prepared to re-
ceive the seed and it cultivated shallow.
