IL appears from the results of a series
Of experiments recently undertaken in
Russia by n. Specnew that electricity
may eventually be made TO play a prom
inent part in agriculture. These exper-
iments, which extended over five years.
showed that by submitting different
seeds TO the action OF an electric cur
rent their development Is rendered
more rapid and complete The seeds Of
haricot beans, sunflowers, winter and
spring rye were used A second series
OF experiments was made with pot
herbs and Towering plants at Kief. The
influence OF the electrical treatment
was shown by larger crop and by the
growth Of vegetables Of enormous di-
mensions. In third series of expert
ments electricity on large scale was
applied, static electricity being used in
stead Of current electricity. The results
we're quickened ripcning and larger
growth. Barley ripened twelve DAYS
sooner with elecuo-culture. Potatoes
treated in the same way seldom showed
disease, only 0 10 per cent being bad,
instead Of 10 TO 40. which is the usual
per centage. An important factor in
this treatment is that vines which have
been subjected TO it possess immunity
from phylloxera, and this points to
new means Of combating the micro.
scropic diseases which attack vegetable
growth. IL is suggested as a weapon
with which to fight the potato bug and
the army worm. The cost of the pro
cess is comparatively small.-Chicago

ABOUT BIRDS NESTS.
A Generally Accepted Theory Correetes
by Noted Naturalist.

A Generally Accepted Theory Corrected
by n Noted Naturalist
Tho Talker does not think that all the
things which the lower order OF an
imals does can be explained by what is
generally called their instinct" Con-
sequently, he is in full sympathy with
the following, by A. r. Wallace: "It is
said that birds do not learn to make
their nests, as man does to build, for all
birds will make exactly the same nest
as the rest Of their species even il they
have never seen one. and it is instinct
alone that can enable them to do this
No doubt this would be instinct il ii
were true, and | simply ask for proof OF
the fact. This point although so i'm
portant to the question at issue, 10 al
ways assumed without proof, and even
against proof, for what facts there are
are opposed TO it. Birds brought up
from the egg in cages do not make the
characteristic nest of their species, even
though the proper materials are sup
piled them, and often make no nest at
all, but rudely heap together a guam
tity of materials; and the experiment
has never been fairly tried of turning
outa pair of birds, so brought up, In an
inclosure covered with netting and
watching the result Of their untaught
attempts at nest-making. With regard
to the song OF birds, however, which is
thought to be equally instructive, the
experiment has been tried, and IL is
found that young birds never have the
song peculiar to their species II they
have not heard it, whereas they acquire
very easily the song of almost any other
bird with which they are associated"

RACING euLLocks.


They Are Speedy But CANT Ise Taught TO
Hun In Straight Lines.
In India the favorite animals, both
for speed and endurance, are the native
bullocks. The animals are small, wiry,
muscular and swift They are trained
TO race and run well. not only under
the saddle, but in harness. The Indi-
ans are fond Of racing their beasts, and
the sport is encouraged by the English
part of the population.
The animal is guided by cord
through tho nose, but the driver places
more reliance on whip and voice than
on the cord. The Indians are natural
gamblers, and will be t their last rupee on
the result of a race, taking so much in
terest in it that penniless native has
been known to wager his liberty and
that Of his family for an entire year and
sell himself into voluntary slavery as
tho result of losing a bet The races
are frequently attended by serious ac-
cidents, from the fact that, although
the bullocks may be trained TO great
swiftness, IL seems almost impossible to
teach them TO run in straight line
They VIII bunch together, and thus
frequently smash one or more OF the
vehicles
Exciting as are tho bullock races
when the beasts are harnessed and
driven by native drivers, they are far
more so when the bullocks are ridden
by European soldiers or sailors. The
chief danger in race of this descrip-
ton lies in the falls which are almost an
inevitable resulto an attempt to ride
these awkward animals. - London

the INDEPENDENT FARMER.

How pleasant II seems 10 live on q farm,
Whore natures so guadily dressed,
And 80 meath the shade OF tho old locust tree,
As the sun Is just sinking TO rest
But not half SO pleasant TO hoe In the field
Where the witch grass is six inches high,
with the hot scorching sun pouring down on
seems each moment as though you would
die.
'Tis pleasant 20 sit In the cool porch door
While you smoke, half reclined at your ease,
Looking out DER your beautiful meadow Of
grass
That sways TO and FRO IN the breeze;
But not quite 80 pleasant to start with your
scythe
Fer tho morning sun smiles DER tho land,
And work TIL your clothes are completely wet
through
And blisters shall cover your hands.
In keoping a dairy there's surely delight,
And IL speaks OF eontentment and plenty,
To see large stable well filled with choice
cows
Say numbering from flfteen to twenty
And yet IL seems hard when you've worked
from the dawn
Till the sun disappears from your sight,
10 think Of the cows you have yet got TO milk
Before you retire for the night.

Aud joyfully seek your repose,
TO dream Of the cream-pots with luxury filled
And the mlk-pans in numberless rows;
But the sweet dream is broken when early next

You're politely requested TO ehurn,
And for three weary hours, with strength ebb-
ing fast,
The crankyou despondingly turn.
But In raising young pigs there is truly charm
Whom they sell at the present high price;
And Of all the young stock which farmer can
raise
There's nothing that looks half so nice.
How cheerful one feels as he leaves them at
night
The encouraging lot OF eleven,
But his JOY slightly wanes when he goes out
next day
And oflive ones can count only seven.
But no one disputes that the farmer is blessed
With true independence and labor
Whose food don't depend on the whims OF man
kind,
Like that OF his mercantile neighbor.
For God in His mercy looks down from above
And paternally gives him his bread,
Provided he works eighteen hours every day
And devotes only six to his bed

his son from boring other people. The stage
