THE MORMON TEMPLE.

vii, Its Completion Great Things Ara
Expected to Come t" Pass.
,fhe great Mormon leihpie should be
completed II i'm ,a as9 saints for me time set
51nilee- me building of this sSa".,rn,
temple has been going on for over tbirt,,
years. 1t will be magnificent edifice
when finished. With it's completion
great things are expected to come to
pass. An old Mormon leaning on the
iron rail of the lot in which Brigham
Young and some of his wives are buried,
told correspondent of dream which
one of the Mormon chiefs had related at
social gathering. He dreamed that
the temple had just been finished, and
going to the summit of one of the an
cient hills he looked out over the plains
and saw the peoples of the world troop
ing toward Zion. The railroad tracks
were covered with grass and the rails
with rust, and the people came on foot
and in all sorts of vehicles. Itwas lions
day OF glorihcation and every body wa
welcomed, and there was plenty for all.
This dream was told in detail, but
the substance of it is sufficient 1t is
really the prophecy uttered by Joseph
Smith and reiterated by Brigham
Young. The latter told the Mormons
to save their wheat for day like this,
when it would bring it's weight in gold,
and they firmly believe that time will
come when the rest of the world will be
torn by war and ravaged by disease,
and all eyes will turn to the hills of
Zion behind which lie the valleys OF
peace and plenty. Some wealthy Nor
mons have barns in which they store
grain in fond expectation of this day:
they keep their store of grain on hand
until it mouids or becomes weevliy, and
then put in new store. The millen-
mum day is expected to follow closely
on the completion of the temple in 1891,

HEDGE PLANTS.
The Value of the Usage Orange and the
Mccartney Rose as Hedge Plants.

The Value of the Usage Orange ana inc
Mccartney Rose as Hedge Plants.
We know of no plant that is superior
to the Usage orange for hedge plant.
1t is obnoxious to the objection that it
is naturally inclined to grow too large;
but this tendency may largely be con-
troled by judicious pruning and cutting
back. This plant is in almost universal
use in the West, as was observed by
those who were parties to the recent
farmers excursion to Ohio. The Nc
Cartney rose is also good hedge plant,
and is preferred by some to any. 1t does
better when combined with ditch and
bank. Cut ditch on the outside of the
proposed hedge row, say three feet wide
at the top, and sloping according to the
character of the soil, so that it may be
two and half or three feet wide and
two feet deep. Throw the soil on the
inside so as to make bank of the
same cross section as the ditch. Pre-
pare the cuttings by taking the current
years growth in November, cutting in
lengths of about eight inches. Plow the
rich, along the inner side of the bank.
Set the cuttings one foot apart along tho
row if abundant; if scarce they may be
put several feet apart, and made closer
by subsequently layering the bottom
shoots. 1t is best to start with rooted
cuttings. AS the plants grow now they
should be trained to grow up the side Of
the hank OF course if an affectiye
fence is wanted at once, it will be neces-
sary to have a straight four or tive-rail
high fence along the top of the bank,
upon which, the rose plants will be
trained as they grow. The hedge should
be cut back every November SO as to
give a bushy, thick growth. The single
| white Mccartney rose is the best; the
Cherokee rose is not recommended

EXPERIM ENTS.
Time and Money Saved by. Devoting a
Patch of Ground to Experiments.

Time and Money Saved by. Deyoting a
Patch of Ground to Experiments.
1t will pay every farmer to devote a
patch of ground to experiments. The
area need not be large, and yet should
be so large that when new variety is
tested it will be reasonably certain that
it will give the same results under fixed
conditions. The expense of such an ex-
detrimental plat need be but a trifle. In
it new varieties and new plants should
be tested; various fertilizers and various
methods of cultivation.
Such a patch will save man from
the two extreme faults of being too fast
and too slow. Some of us hear of fer
tilizer or plant or variety that has
given unusually good results, and we
straightway buy a large bill and put a
field in the new variety or dress a field
in the new fertilizer, and find that we
have thrown away more money than an
experimental plat would cost in five
years. If we had an experimental plat.
we would save such losses.
Experimenting before buying largely
grows into habit and slows up those of
us inclined to go too fast. 1t as nicely
hurrles up those of us inclined to be too
slow. The plat tempts to experiment,
and when we hear of something new we
are tempted to test it, when otherwise
we would not get hold of it until four or
five years after the shrewd fellows had
begun to make big money out of it, and
by that time SO many will have it that it
will no longer yield big profit Every
farmer, no matter what his disposition,
will find that he did a mighty good days
work when he set off a plat for expert
ments. NJ. Stahl, in Dixie Farmer.

Home Treatment.

HOm6 Ire8CHIVHCs
Sufferers are not generally aware that
Shese diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
ssimple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

GROWTH OF MEXICO.
The Present Condition and the Resources
of Our Sister Republic.

The revenues Of the republic have
more than doubled in twenty years. In
1870 they were sixteen million dollars;
in 1887 they were thirty-two million
dollars: and the estimated revenue for
1859 were nearly thirty-eight million
dollars 1t is true that the expenditures
have grown more rapidly than the rev.
enues, SO that there has been, for sew
eral years, not large deficit But the
main reason of this has been thao the
State has expended large sums on rail-
ways and other extensive public works;
so that while the national treasury has
suffered a little, the country has been
greatly benefited, and it's resources
have been greatly increased.
Both the imports and the exports have
steadily gained in the past few years.
From 1885 to 1888, the imports Of Mexico
increased from thirty-four million dollars
to over forty-three million dollars; while
in the same period the exports increased
from forty-six million seven hundred
thousand dollars, in round numbers, to
nearly forty-nine million dollars. Near
ly three-fourths of the exports from
Mexico were of the precious metals, the
industry in which was materially BEN
Gifted by the building of railways and
roads. The increased facilities of rail-
way communication may be judged from
the fact that while in 1879 only three
hundred and seventy-two miles of rail-
way were in operation throughout the
republic, there are now more than five
thousand miles.
Mexico has larger business dealings
with the United States than with all
other nations put together; and that it's
commercial relations with us have
grown constantly moro important may
be seen by the fact that the Mexican
exports to the United States in
1855 were valued at about twcr-
ty-fve and one-half million dollars, and
in 1883, at thirty-one million dollars.
The mining interests of Mexico are
large, and are yearly becoming more
valuable. But it's agricultural prosperi-
ty is also notable. Its farms and forests
are sources of large and growing reven-
ues. Its productions of coffee, sugar,
corn, wheat, tobacco, cocoa, and other
plantation products approach in value
two hundred million dollars yearly. 1t
has, besides, vast cattle ranches, in all
valued, five years ago, at over five hun
bred million dollars.
A country so abundantly and various
ly blessed with natures gifts only need
ed internal peace and good and wise
government, to acquire strength and
wealth, and Mexico has made great
progress as tho result of such peace
and such government during the past
five years. Youths Companion.
