it. The only variety of oat we raise or

In this neighborhood it is called the

all in all, it is the best oat we have ever

The Burmese Idea Of Women.

Burmese women are. treated we'll in
family, and they are the equals of men
in family affairs. They have their say
in the business matters, and the only
place in which their inferiority is no.
ticeable is in religion. The Burmese
are Buddhists, and Buddhist woman
has no chance to 60 to Heaven save by
her soul at death passing into the body
of man. If she is wonderfully pious
in this life such TRANSPORTATION may
take place, and note that the chief
worshipers at the pagoda here are
women. Buddhist teachers put women
much lower in the scale of morality than
men, and they maintain that the sins of
one woman are equal to the sins of 5000
of the worst men that ever lived. There
are about 200,000,000 women in the
world, and none of these have any other
hope of immortality than this. Never
theless, I am told that the Burmese
women are more honest than the men,
and that their business promises are to
be trusted. They are not educated as q
rule, and it is only lately that there
have been schools in Burmah for women.

FARM AND GARDEN.
PLAIN TRUTHS.

,.s-r . f. o.
,ome Of the Causes Of Fatlur. /,
s& T.. Breeding. ~ + *s.t
A reader rises to ask why it is that In
many instances farmers who have come
INTO the possession Of well-bred live
took have not succeeded in producing
IS meritorious animals as they had been
ed to expect would result from tho use
# such blood?"
Well, in the first place, the farmer
who has failed to attain the requisite
standard of excellence may not have
aad really toel-bred animals to begin
with. The terms puss.bred and ,oeN-bred
should not be confused. 1t is related of
Lord Rivers that whom asked how he
succeeded in, always having first-class
yreyhounds, he replied: II breed many
md hang many" Not every breeder
makes such, wise use of hemp. Not
Ill pure-bred animals are equally we'll
bred. The well-bred animal is that
which has inherited genuine merit from
bis immediate progenitors, and the more
IF his ancestors that were distinguished
In the same direction the better is the
breeding. Not every pure-bred animal
measures up to this standard. Many Of
chem are merely pedigreed "weeds,"
md the farmer who buys of the dealer
and ''peddler" rather than the legiti-
mate breeder, while he may get beast
ut low price that can boast herd-book
entry land therefore pass as pure-bred),
may still fall short of securing we'll
bred beast. This, it is needless to state,
Is prolific source of disappointment,
and suggests it's own cure.
II we were to limit our reply, however,
to one single point, we should be strong
" tempted to assert that more good
breeding stock is ruined by poor keep, q
failure to maintain the animals in an
atmosphere conducive to thrift, than by
any other single cause. AS a rule the
best specimens of the various improved
breeds are those that have been gener-
ously reared upon proper foods, allowed
plenty of liberty on pasture, and
handled by men who were too much in
love with their beasts to permit them to
be abused in any way, shape, form or
manner; and to transplant good animals,
highly developed by painstsking men,
to farms where any or all of these ele-
ments of successful management are
wanting, with the expectation that they
will maintain their excellences and
transmit them to their progeny, is to
expect the seed from sound, heavy
yielding grain to produce bountiful
harvest when sown in sterile soil and
turned over to the tender mercies of
noxious weeds. In other words we may
amplify the old law of transmission Of
hereditary qualities by saying that like
begets like or the likeness of some an
cestor" under ike conditions. Neglect
and niggardly treatment will in a very
few years undo the work of generations.
So many gruesome tales of woe have
been sung about the evils of over-feed-
ing that some well-meaning people de-
liberately starve all the excellence out
of their pedigreed animals.-Breeder's

ChOked Cattle.

In our last Issue we gave two
methods in vogue for relieving choked
cattle. A correspondent of the New
England Homestead has an excellent
as we'll as a humane way for accomplish
ing the same result and he thus de-
scribes it: "When an animal becomes
ohoked, I find the obstruction by feel
ing along the throat with one hand, and
in nine cases out of ten it is found in
the gullet. With a pressure Of the
thumb and fingers the obstacle can be
forced out the way it went in, and gen.
orally the animal Is ready to assist in
it's removal. A few years ago had a
heller that was choked with apples
every few days, and in every instance I
removed them in this way without Diff
fculty or danger Of injuring the animal.
I think any thing which an animal
gets into its throat and can not get
down in the natural way should not be
punched or pushed down, thereby en-
dangering the life Of the animal, but it
should be taken out the way 1t went

How to Got F:ld of Them.

Ono Of tho Pests That Work in Gardens
n How to Got Rld Of Them.
The larvB Of the neat cucumber
worm is often found by the wholesale
in some gardens running the pickles or
oucumbers. The larvae is easily recog-
nizable; it Is about an inch long and of
. yellowish white color with greenish
tinge. On each segment are few
slightly elevated shining dots, from
each OF which q fine hair issues. The
head of the larvae is yellow with brown
margin. The illustration herewith rep
resents the cucumber as affected; the
Larvae generally begin to appear about
the middle of July and continue their
depredations until late in September,
feeding on the flesh of the cucumber,
rendering it unfit for use, and causing
premature decay. Often several spec
imons are found on q single cucumber.
When mature, the larvae leaves the
fruit, draws together few fragments Of
leaves, spins cocoon and in about eight
or ten days the slender brown chrysalis
changes to yellowish brown colored
moth. There is more than a single
brood, and the chrysalis of the last
passes the winter emerging as q moth
the following year.
The moth, as shown in the illustra-
ton, has an irregular patch of yellow
on the fore wings, which also consti-
tutes the color of the greater portion
of the inner parts of the hind ones;
the thighs, breast and abdomen are
silvery white, giving the whole of the
under side of the body pearly appear

yellow. The body of the female diff
fers somewhat from that of the male;
it terminates in small, hattened,
black brush, squarely trimmed; the
preceding segment, however, is Of a

VALUE OF ENSllAGE,

How 1t Compares with Cooked Food
Cattle Prefer the Former.
The quantity of feed is the first adj
vantage. One of the grandest sights
in the world, not excepting Niagara or
the ocean, is large field of ensilage
corn, milk-ripe, drilled and standing in
solid acres, fourteen or fifteen feet
high! No such quantity of nutriment
can be obtained in any other way or by
any other plant or product. Corn is
queen, and the greatest natural gift OF
America to the world.
"But," says the doctor, "why not dry
all this corn and steam it?" Because
you can't, and because drying would
take away half of it's value. Corn in
milk, before its kernels are glazed and
hard, will not dry; it will be overtaken
by rains and mildew and be lost. Ifyou
do not believe it, begin with COM
paratively small lot of fodder corn and
see where you will come out. To talk
Of drying solid acres of milk corn is
absurd, to say nothing of the labor and
expense of housing so vast quantity,
and cutting it up and steaming it in the
''feed trough" or anywhere else. But
were it possible to dry this corn, or if
you were to leave it to ripen in the
field, which, being Giant Southern corn,
it won't do at the North, you would
thereby lose half of it's value.
The natural food Of all cattle is green
herbage, and they have hard time to
get through our winters on dry fodder.
They have no stomachs fit for it, even
when steamed. Therefore, to give them
their own fresh food in winter in a
warm Enclosure, is to make it summer
for them all the year. TIE result is
that they are bright, sleek and healthy,
and give "June milk and butter in
February" But if the corn could be
ripened and so dried no amount of
steam could make it green, milky herb
age again. Steam can not resurrect the
dead. When the cellulose, albumen,
protoplasm, starch, gums, sugars, etc.,
have turned to wood fiber or dry skins
or hard granules, half of their value is
gone and can never be restored. Let
the cattle have the choice, and they will
settle the question in favor of the en-
silage every time.-Country Gentleman.
