WHY NOT RAISE OLIVES

An Industry that Would Thrive OF
Southern Farms.
The olive tree and its fruit do best on
well-drained, high-lying lands, free
from an excess of heat, as in Africa and
Egypt, and too great a degree of cold,
as in the north of Europe and America;
the same people in Europe who con.
sumo annually many millions of dol
lars worth of our cotton, be-
cause they can buy American cotton
cheaper than an article of equal value
can be grown in Europe. The organiza-
zion of pure oil is a question Of solar
light and heat Neither oil-producing
plants, nor cotton do as well in Europe
as in America Our cotton greatly
needs companion for European asso-
Citations. Pure olive oil has many adj
vantages to commend it to Southern
farmers and land-holders To-day q
gallon of this fruit oil pays for six gal.
Ions of the juice Of the best grapes
This pregnant fact goes far to prove
that the world of humanity wants pure
oil or butter more than wine or brandy.
The olive tree is a perennial ever
green without peer on this planet
History fails to record the timo
and place, when and where piety
first kworshipped olive fruit and oil
as part of the Divinity. The
Southern farmer with an olive grove
in bearing will get six times as much
per gallon for oil from olives, pure ana
ripe, as for the juice of his best grapes
To some extent vineyards form taste
for wine and the habit of intoxicatton.

ions that promotes health and gladness

THE POULTRY YARD.

Hatch eggs only from the best and

-One-third corn-meal and two-thirds

Kerosene is cheap. Use plenty o.

Give the turkeys and ducks gooa
feed of corn every night.
Geese should not be kept unless
they can be kept separate from the other

Ground oats is good feed for az
kinds of young poultry; much bessst
than too much corn-meal.
If the most money is to be reallzea
from young poultry, it is quite an item
to have them Matched out early.
-Whitewash can be used to good sa'

THE COLD FRAME.

A Useful Adjunct to the Kitchen Garden.
There are many garden vegetables
which are benefited by transplanting.
If sown in the open ground they will not
come forward in their proper season.
Generally, as far as farmers are con-
cerned, they can not be bought even at
the right time, because the farmer lives
too far from nursery or professional
gardener. To men so situated l would
advise the making of cold frame. It
need not cost much, and it win not if
my advice is taken. A common window
sash gagged for sx10 panes, or larger if
possible, can be bought very cheap, and
the lowest-priced glass will do. / will
guarantee that any farmers wife or
daughter will gladly set the glass either
with putty or with tacks. Now obtain
a good inch board, cut it in lengths to
suit the sash and make your cold frame
IN a sheltered place, where it can
always remain intact. Dig down
twelve to sixteen inches, fill with
fresh horse manure well compacted
to furnish bottom heat. Throw over it
few buckets Of water and place your
frame so as to receive the southern sun.
Let the north part of the frame be from
four to six inches higher SO as to shed
rain, which should be conducted away
from the frame, if it be in excess. Bank
up the earth around the frame to hold it
firm and to shed the water.
On the conlpacted manure place good,
rich soil to the depth Of six inches, made
mellow and fine, then With sopae small

THE MONKEYS MIRRoR.

visitors to the Geological Garden have
taken special notice of pretty little
African monkey with tremendously
long tail, and an interesting little, shriv-
eled-up pink face. He is very bright
and amusing, with no bad or vicious
traits. If you will notice closely you
will notice that the tip of his tail has
been nearly stripped of hair.
The handsome white cockatoo, with
the fiery eyes and sulphurous yellow
crest, did that. His big cage had been
on top of the monkeys one day, and the
little monkey had swung his tail up
until it rested against the bars of the
bird cage. The cockatoo grabbed it and
pulled it in with his sharp beak. Then
there was chattering and screaming,
yells, croakings and diminutive in
ferno for about minute, before the
monkey got his tail loose by the heroic
method of pulling it loose. Then the
cockatoo spit out mouthful of hair and
said: "Yah-h-u-g-gh." To this contemp-
tuous remark the little monkey said
nothing. He sucked the lacerated end
of his tail and said nothing
Some one had presented him with a
piece of mirror. 1t was the apple of his
eye and the prize of his collection. His
little store-house contained a couple Of
chestnuts, some spare peanuts, two or
three bright pebbles and the mirror.
This little strip, hardly two inches
square, he would hold and admire by
the hour. He never tired of trying to
solve the mystery of that other monkey
which he saw in the glass. Not being
quarrelsome, he never tried to fight the
strange monkey, butwas always trying to
coax him out to play. 1t wouldn't work.
One day the sun shone down through
the glass skylight and struck the mir
ror. 1t cast bright, burning beam
right into the monkeys eye and nearly
blinded him. Here was another inn
mense problem to wrestle with. After
few minutes he found that by turning
the looking-glass in different direction
he could make the bright ray dance over
the walls and into the other cages. Ha!
that was funny. The eockatoo had been
rays struck him in the eye. He blinked
and rufled his feathers. The monkey
saw it, and said to himself as plainly as
possible:
Wonder if old Cockey doesn't like it?'
He got the focus again, and the cock
atoo ducked and squawked.
AHA! have you now, old Coekey
I'll teach you to pull the hair off my
tail!''
Again he focused the bird, and the
bird jumped. Up, down, sideways and
across, he pursued the bird vita that
binding ray, while the latter screamed
and beat his wings and ratified the cage
in whirlwind of rage. But it was use
less. The ray and monkey were mex
orable, and not until convenient CLOUD
ohacured the sun did the monkey ceas.

But the raising of plants is not all VI,

One or two other points essential "a
success are regular supply of moisture
and care that a too-hot sun does NOT
scald and kill the young plants. And
remember that all the seeds named ara
very fine, and will not need more than
one-quarter of an inch of earth for
covering.
A similar frame with like treatment
will easily produce all the sweet potato
plants needed for an acre or more Of
ground.
1t is an error to suppose that rainv
weather is the best time to set out
plants of any kind of vegetables. If
the soil is in good filth and the quantity
of moisture sufficient to compact the soil
well to the rootlets, any fair day is bet
ter than rainy weather. If the applica-
ton of water is deemed necessary-for
we must use common-sense in all our
corporations with nature-let it be al.
piled late in the afternoon or evening
and only in sufficient quantities to COM
pact the soil around the roots. Use a
common wooden dibble or very small
trowel for your transplanting.
Now, about this time-as the almanac
has is-look out for the cut worm. Trap
him if you can, and let not one OF them s-
cape. But how? Twomethods will men
ton. First. take a round pointed stick or
your homemade dibbIe and drill four
holes equi-distant around each plant,
all of them covering a space of about
four inches; make the holes six inches
deep with smooth sides. If the worm
gets into these he can not extricate him
self and perishes. Or, second, tie small
pladgets Of clover together and place
these around your plants, and under
these look for Mr.. Worm early in the
morning, and when you find him punch
the life out of him. Nothing better than
hand picking has yet been discovered to
destroy this pest.
1t will hardly be necessary to state
here that squashes or any kind Of
melons can be nhurried into bearing
quite as well as cucumbers. When do
mestic gardening is done as it should
be, two and even three crops in a sea-
son may be grown on the same land. :
