FARM NOTES.

RELIEVING CHoKED CATTLE
Southern Cultivator calls attention to
q plan devised by Professor Simonds,
of the Royal Veterinary College OF
England, for relieving cattle when
choking. According to Professor
Simonds "the amount OF danger In
cases of choking may be mostly calcu-
lated by the abdominal diste ntion; FOR
death results from the lungs being un-
able to expand, in consequence OF the
pressure of the rumen against the dia-
phragm. In many cases prior to rellev-
ing the patient, the gaseous compounds
which are disengaged from the ingesta
and distend the rumen must be given
an exit by puncturing the Tumen to
prevent suhocatlon-
Two ASSISTANTS sTe required. One or
these should be placed on either side OF
the animal, holding the handle OF the
gag. which protrudes from the side Of
the mouth, with one hand, and the
opposite horn with the other. The head
must also be kept elevated so as TO bring
it as nearly as possible In a straight line
with the neck
Professor Simonds' instructions for
operating are as follows:
The probang being held thus is to be
passed through the opening in the gag
and carried carefully over the dorsum
OF the tongue into the pharynx, and
from thence pushed inward until it
reaches the obstruction. Sufficient and
well regulated pressure is now to be
made until the obstruction yields, when
if is TO be driven by the instrument
into the rumen. Care should always 5
be taken to propel the obstructing sub
stance into the first stomach, and we
should never rely on the power OF the
e5ophagus to do this after we have sue
ceeded in removing il from its original
situation. Want OF attention TO this
simple rule has often protracted suffer
ing to the animal ard not unfrequenJly
death The pIobangs in ordinary use
are seldom of sufficient length, nor are
the bulbs with which they are tipped OF
a proper shape. The instrument should
not be less than six and half feet
long, and the bulbs should be large and
slightly cup shaped

THE color of the hog seems to be a
matter of importance. Experiments
show that, contrary to expectation, a
black hog, such as the Essex and BeIk-
shire, thrIves best in the South, while
the white breeds, such as the Chester

best in the North. The Poland. China

variety of the Southern Dewberry
(Rubus trivialis) which we have growing
here surpasses anything of the sort we
have ever noticed. The original plants,
which were only few, were found grow
ing among grass and rubbish their SEEM
ingly favorite place-in a tOlerably rich
location in an old field where corn and
cane had been growing for thirty years.
We transplanted about hundred into a
good place, and after they had started to
grow, 1nulched them with dead grass on
each of the rows for four feet and about
ten inches deep. The vines, or canes. soon
covered this and in the next spring Qast
year) were showing plenty OF flower buds.
In April I'VE had three or four bushels,
during three weeks, of the most delicious
fruit, and of much better flavor than any
blackberry. The fruit is also most excel
lent when canned or preserved, and all
who have tasted our canned fruit give in
their opinion that ''they are better. than
blackberries. Our small plot is now
loaded with flowers and green fruit and
promises much more than last season.
We invite any who will to come and test
them in about three weeks. They are
propagated by rooted tips of the canes,
which are transplanted in the winter. We
have used no manure except the mulch
ing, and have found them better and
more profitable than Strawberries They
do not require one-tenth the care and ex-
pense of strawberries, and a..large market
would be opened at toncefor them in every

Tobacco Culture in Florida.

or rather the rejuvenated Industries, the
culture of tobacco promises to eclipse all
others. Thousands of acres of land-ne-
cessitating the expenditure of thousands
of dollars and the employment of all
army of men-are being prepared and
planted in the weed. Judging from the
satisfactory and profitable returns of the !
business inits Experimental form, it would
seem as if, in the future, it would develop
into an industry than in point of magni-
tude will excel the orange business in
South Florida.
Mr.. Hector Bruce, of Quincy, read the
following essay on tobacco culture before
the Tobacco Growers Association, which
we reproduce for the benefit of those in
terested. He said:
Gentlemen In compliance with your
request, will try to give those of you
who have had no experience in raising
tobacco some idea of how to do it. My
only regret is that your choice did not
fall upon some one with more experience,
and who could WELD an ADLER pen.
"The first thing you want to know is
how to raise plants?
''Be careful to select a good piece of
hammock land, neither too wet nor too
dry, level, or nearly so, and facing the
south and east Cut down the brush and
timber in convenient lengths to be easily
handled get plenty of lightwood (dry
s4oI- Il c1, abco
logs evenly over the area you propose
planting with tobacco seed. AS soon as
you can work the burnt ground, take a
grubbing hoe and turn it up, mixing the
ashes with the soil, taking out the roots
of all the brush and the lateral roots of
the stumps of trees coming in contact
with the hoe at two or two and half
inches depth. Do not grub deeper, as this
is deep enough for plants to send their
roots. After you have gone over the
ground with the hoe, take garden rake
and rake the ground as you would
garden plat, getting off coal, roots and
chips Then lay it off into plats OF five
and half feet, leaving a foot-walk OF
twelve inches in width between each plat
for convenience in wedding, watering and
fertilizing the plants before they are
ready to use, and for pulling then. with
out bruising them when they are to be
used The bed is now ready to be sown,
and ought to still be a little warm (say
blood heat). Ten ounces OF tobacco seed
is ample for ], 900 square feet of ground
Divide your seed in this proportion, ac-
cording to the size of your plat and mix
with a pan or more of dry sifted hard
wood ashes; mix thoroughly, and have
enough to go over the plat two or three
times, taking a pinch between the two
forefngers and thumb, and sowing as you
do collard and cabbage seed. The great
object to be obtained is to have the seed
evenly distributed over the ground or
plat. Pursue the same course with all
the plats in your bed. After sowing
YOUR seed take board with d handle to
it and pack the different plats firm and
smooth. Then cover lightly with hard
wood brush, to prevent rain pattering
the ground and washing the seed. Put
trench around the bed to carry off Excess
sive rain water from the adjacent land.

An oarsman'. Fight With . Crane.

A desperate fight took place on the Schuyl-
kill river near the Girard avenue bridge be-
tween a member Of the Iona Boat club, who
was out for an evening pull, and a crane.
About 5 o'clock, when the members of the
different clubs began to go out on the river, a
large bird was seen to drop into the water
near the Girard avenue bridge One Of the
members Of the iona Boat club started to
capture the bird, but when within boats
length the crane showed fight. When near
enough the oarsman reached for the bird, but
it made an attack with its wings and bill,
clipping the flesh from the young mans
hands and beating him about the head. The
boatman tried to beat it down with the oar,
but the crane would not give it up, and
fought desperately, tearing the oarsnan's
clothes and biting the flesh off his hands
The fight was watched with interest by many
people who had gathered on the shore.
Finally after severe struggle the crane
was captured and got into the boat and
bound. Philadelphia Press

insists upon the necessity Of carrying pocket
compass. Without one no one can keep a
straight course when the sky is overcast
The tendency on these occasions is to walk

means unusual, to find ones self after two
hours hard walking at the exact spot one
started from. Indeed, have completed my
circle in half an hour when lost in the woods
without a compass. have remarked, too,
that l almost invariably trend to the right,
not to the left, and on comparing notes with
other ''bushwhackers," l find that am not
singular in this respect. Can it be that the
left is generally the better leg Of the two, and
