APRIL CROPS REPORTS.
The Condition of Winter Grain and
Farm Animals.

Farm animals.
The crop report Of the Department of Agri-
culture for April relates to the condition of
winter grain and of farm animals as they go
out of winter quarters. There was little
winter protection, except for short time in
mid-winter, in the latitude of heavy winter
SHOWS; consequently the more northern
breadths are somewhat brown in color, and
patches in wet soils are winter killed. Yet the
temperature has been so mild, with so few sud-
den extremes. that the present condition is
very good. The plants are generally well
rooted, and have been growing, over large
part of the area, through the winter. The
general average condition is "a, nearly
the same the April condition of the
crop Of 1886, which fell at harvest to SIS; that
of 1888, 81, and that of the previous year, ST..
The April condition of the large crop of 1854
was 95.4, going up to % at harvest.
The rye cropis also in good condition. The
general average is 93.9.
The mild winter has been favorable to farm
animals, which are generally in high CON
sdihen. ------~.--~'~ - - -,,-..-

Amusing Scenes at Dinner Given
by the Chinese Minister.

The dinner given by the Chinese minister
was in the nature of compliment to the new
Administration. The Chinese Minister gave
his arm to Secretary Blaine, and escorted
him to his seat at the table, which was direct
" opposite that of the Minister, each sitting
at the centre of one of the long sides Of the
table The Chinese Minister sat be-
tween Justices Miller and Blatchford
and Secretary Blaine sat between
Justices Bradley and Harlan. The dinner
was thoroughly Occidental, so much so that
the two Mohammedans present, representing
Turkey and Persia, did full justice to the
wine course, and the Turkish Minister de-
parted so widely from his national usage as
to appear without his fez.
The Persian Minister en- iOyed himself I'M
mensely, and afforded much entertainment
to the rest of the company. Most OF the
scintillations of the evening came from him.
Observing that two guests neglected their
snipe in order to carry on their conversation,
and that servant waiting to take the
plates away he said facetiousIy: you not
eat the bird the bird fly away"
He insisted on talking English, although he
knows French perfectly, and his nelghbors
understood French. He said in explaining
his preference:
Il am American. [ have beautiful girl,
very beautiful girl; she teach me English
long time. I speak English very good"
In addition to this he explained that he
understood English because he mad been III
England. He was asked how long he was
there and said eight hours. PLENTY, too
much, he added.
At the close Of the dinner he said to an
American guest, who had been laughing and
talking all the way through the dinner: ''You
not American. American have long face, sit
up straight, say nothing like Them" pointing
to group of Senators and Cabinet officers
who had eaten their way steadily through
their menu without looking to the right or to
the left or exchanging Il word with anybody,
in some cases because their neighbors spoke
no English.
After dinner in the smoking room the Min
isters from China, Japan and Corea, who
cannot understand each others spoken Ian
guage, carried on a three-cornered converse
ton with pens and paper for their written
language is identical.

A Hairless Horse.

A very interesting equine curiosity in
the shape of horse absolutely without
hair arrived on the Alameda from Aus
tralia lately 1t was exhibited to a
few connoisseurs in horsehesh by
the owner, R. A. Cunningham. The
horse-or rather the mare, for it belongs
to the latter gender-is a pronounced
phenomenon. Her skin is black and as
smooth and as fine as that of a human be-
ing. She stands little over fifteen hands
high and is about 7 years old. 1t would
be difficult to find handsomer or more
shapely animal. She looks we'll bred and
is strongly developed. In action the move
ment of every muscle is plainly discernible
by reason of the animals utter nakedness.
Were it not for her abnormal appearance
the mare would make a most excellent
carriage horse. Anything more peculiar
than the appearance of this beast, with
her smooth, shiny skin, black as ebony,
attempting to whisk from her back with
hareless, stumpy tail the flies clustering
there. it is impossible to conceive. The
softness and smoothness of every portion
of her anatomy, even where the name
ought to be found, precludes the idea that
the hair has been gotten rid Of artifclally,
as by shaving. The black leading process,
which has not infrequently been used in
the preparation Of freaks of this character,
has not been resorted to here. Viewed
from behind, something in the make of the
animals back suggests the elephant. Mr..
Cunningham purchased the mare in
Echuca, Victoria, from a farmer, who
utilized her as buggy horse. She was
driven every day distance of ten miles,
her tender sk in being nrotected nv rupS
and blankets.-Phiadelo7sia Ledger.

Advice to Those Who Read.

Desultory habits of study are not to be
commended, but | do not advise you to
pursue any systematic course of reading,
because l am looking upon reading, for the
moment, not as an exercise, but as re-
creation, and fear lest, if it were reduced
to rigid and regular system, it should
become wearisome task. | would have
you omnivorous of books devour all the
good books that you come across your life
will certainly not last long enough to leave
you time for the temporary ones.
However warmly you may admire par
ticular author, do not permit yourself to
lose the consciousness of fallibility. Do
not accept as gospel what any man, how
ever great, says or writes. Never make
blind surrender of your own judgment,
either to the author whose writings you
affect or to the society which for the time
sets him up as an idol. There is fashion
in these things which is very like affecta-
ton. Yesterday the rage was for Carlyle;
to, day it is for Mathew Arnold or Herbert
Spencer to morrow it may be for some rs
yet undiscovered literary planet. Do not
let yourself be swept away by the stream
Form your own judgment on the best ma
terials you have, and do not hesitate mod
estly to express your own preference or
dislike, even if it be out of harmony with
the popular sentiment of the moment.
Books are guide to youth, and an en-
tertainment for age. They support US un-
der solitude, and keep US from becoming
burden to ourselves. They help US to for
get the crossness of men and things, COM
pose our cares and passions and lay our
disappointments asleep. When we are
weary of the living we may repair at once
to the dead, who have nothing of peevish-
ness, pride or design in their converse
tion.-Notes for Boys.

Planting Nut Trees.

We CLEAN the following from Garden
and Forest:
1t is more economical to plant the nuts
of hickories, walnuts and chestnuts where
the trees are to grow than to transplant
seedlings. Nuts procured in the Autumn
and kept over winter in moist sand should
be planted as soon as the frost is out of the
ground in spring. If the ground is billy
or filed with rocks the nuts must be
planted two to six feet apart, whenever
sufficient soil can be found for them, by
making hole with stick from half to
one inch deep, dropping in the seed and
then closing the hole by pressing the foot
upon it. This, too, is the best method for
planting where the ground is SO impover-
ished that it will not produce heavy crop
Of grass or weeds. But when the ground
is rich and level it should be plowed and
marked out as though it were intended for
a crop of corn the nuts should be planted
four feet apart and the soil should be cult
waited to destroy the weeds until the seed
lings are large enough to shade the surface,
after which no further cultivation will be
needed.
Seeding chestnut plants, one to two feet
high, can easily be transp1anted and can
be procured from nurseries. So can seed
ling black walnuts, although little is
gained by planting seedlings rather than
seeds of trees which, like the black walnut,
the hickories and the oaks, make strong
tap-roots. Seeding hickories are not
kept in any large quantity in American
nurseries.
