Teach Yellows.

DR.. W. W. Stell sounds a note OF warn.
ing In regard to peach yeIows, which
fruit growers and farmers should heed.
He says that agents from Infected districts
Of other states are now selling nursery
stock, and advises buyers To patronIze
nurseries which 80 far are free from the
dread disease. The following article by
p. J. Blrckmans in the Southern Farm
will be read with interest:

for publication which would prove of value
SO far as giving preventive to this de-
structiye scourge.
As to Its eradication there appears So

uprooting and immediate burning Of ali

Life on a Cuban Plantation,

In Dakota and Manitoba the en-
ployment on single wheat estates of
hundred reapers and an aggregate
of three hundred laborers for a SER
son has been regarded as something
unprecedented in agricultural indus
try; but on one sugar estate in Cuba
Sci Balboa"-from fifteen hundred
to two thousand hands, invariably
negroes, are employed, who work un-
der severe discipline, in watches or
relays during the grinding season, by
day and night, the same as in the
large iron-mill and furnaces Of the
United States and Europe. At the
same time there are few village com
munities where q like number ofpeo-
pleexperience the same care and sur
veillance. The male workers occupy
quarters walled and barricaded from
the women, and the women from the
men. There are in every village nm
infrmary, a lyine-in hospital, a ply
stefan, an apothecary, q chapel, and
priest. At highland morning mass
is said in chapel, and the crowds are
always large. There is Of n Sunday
less restraint, though ceaseless
espionage is never RENTED. On
these days and in parts OF holidays
there are rude mirth, ruder music,
and much dancing. This picture is
given somewhat in detail, because it
illustrates how allpervading and
tremendous are the forces that are
modifying society everywhere, in
civilized, partially civilized, and even
barbarous countries, conformity with
the new conditions of production and
consumption.-From 4Recent Eco

he said 10 himself. "Would she have
come here and made nue. love
her and then have cruelty told me
she was going to be married? Yes.
| suppose she would, women are all
alike, coquettes, every one OF them. "
Rachel was thinking over her life,
some strange, and uneXplainable
mesmeric sympathy Willie's mind
went back over the past too. What
friend she had always been to him
and Mary, and how bravely she had
fought her own battle of life thus
far. "She is a noble little woman, !"
he said to himself, "and l wish was
worthy of her" Then the clock
struck, and Rachel started up. She
drew half sic hing breath, paused q
moment, then stopped over and
lightly touched his lips with hers.
Before lie was aware what he was
doing he had passed his arm around
her neck and pressed her head to his
breast. "Do you then love me, little
Rachel?s
They say love is eloquent by
whomeyer spoken, and Willie was
certainly eloquent. The love that
was shut up in his heart all turned
and told itself seemingly without his
aid to Rachel, and when Mary came
in she found them sitting hand in
hand, a new sweet light in their
faces.
When the June roses blossom there
will be II double wedding in the little
cottage and "Teddie" and Willie
will both be happy, Willie has gone
back to his ear He says he likes
the road and likes the work, and
blesses the day that good fortune
came to him through misfortune

Care Of swss. ro,a.os. aaa onloa,.

The principal requisite In keeping SWEEP
potatoes is to store them away absolutely
free from bruises or cuts. TO accomplish
this, pillow out one side ot The row ana

As soon as they are dried, sort carefully,
rubbing them as free from dirt as possible,
and put such As are 70 be stored away al

not pour them from baskets Then iltt
the packages into the wagon, and when ar
rived al destination llis them oai without
ttunbllns or rolling and set them down as
carefully as II they were haFrc's Of eggs.
This Is less trouble and expense than 10
pack them In sand, shayiugA Ut eoItgn-
seed meal, and serves the same purpose.
The reason Why sweet potatoes aFe -
difficult to keep Is that they are 50 rich Ia
sugar, containing az compared with the
common potato nearly seven per cent Of
soluble sugar. In place Of a similar amount
Of starch. and whenever the eutlcle Is

Bite OF A Rattlesnake.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell contributes to
the August Century aprofusely illus
trated article on ''The Poison of Ser
pents." from which we quote the fol-
lowing: II am often asked what |
would do if bitten while far from
help. If the wound be at the tip ola
finger, / should like to get rid of the
part by some such prompt auto-sur-
gical means as knife or possible
hot iron affords. Failing these, or
wh'l22 SEQ, ...Ig help, it is wise to quar-
antine the poison by two ligatures
drawn tight enough to stop all cir
culation. The heart weakness is
made worse by emotion, and at this
time man may need stimulus to
enable him to walk home. AS soon
as possible some one should thor
oughly infiltrate the seat of the bite
with permanganate or other of the
agents above mentioned. By work.
ing and kneading the tissues the
venom and the antidote may be
made to come into contact, and the
former be so far destroyed. At this
time it becomes needful to relax The
ligatures to escage gangrene. This
relaxation of course let's soIne venom
into the bloodhound, but in few
moments it is possible to again tight
en- the ligatures, and again to inject
the local antidote. If the dose of
venom be large and the distance from
help great, except the knife or cautery
little is to be done that is OF value.
But it is well to bear in mind thatin
this country bite in The extremities
rarely causes death. / have known
of nine dogs having been bitten by
as many snakes, and of these dogs
but two died. In India there would
have been probably nine dead dogs"

Weeds are likely to escape in the latter
cultivation Of the corn, and other weeds
spring up after cultivation Is ended. II Is
these weeds which foul the land for future
years. The weeds in the corn Geld arc
neglected during the hurry Of grain and
the hay harvest, threshing, hauling ma
nure, and preparing the ground for wheat.
But even better than Is the scythe are the
sheep. Let them have the run Of the
corn fields during the autumn. They like
the shade of the rows. They will nlbble
OIL the lower blades Of the corn. but this
Is in no wise an injury to the crop. The
sheep win also find every weed and bunch
of grass. Their scent Is sharp, and they
will discover weeds that would be over
looked. There are very few weeds IN
deed that viii not be cropped by sheep, es-
peclally Of the Merino breed; they crop 50
close 10 the ground that the weeds will
hardly start again. The spring calves, 10
not too strong, may well be put with the
sheep. Unless unusually large. they will
not damage the corn, and will get consld-
cradle feed which would otherwise be
wasted.
