recognized more and more every year.
Already a.large amount of honey is annual
ly consumed in the various industries Of
pork packing and other manufactures

very great. Nearly FIVE hundred tons of
bees-wax are annually imported into Great
Britain

LIVING WITHOUT EYES.
STRANGE Creatures of the Deep, Dark Cav
erns that Have No Organs of Vision.

There are rany animals in the world
which pass all their lives in darkness,
never seeing a ray OF light, relates the
New York Telegram. Every one mas heard
of the blind fishes of the Mammoth Cave.
This cave is the biggest of 500 great cav
ems of the United States. All of them
are inhabited by numerous other sorts OF
creatures that have no eyes for vision.
Literally speaking, there is no such thing
as blind fish, since the most sightless of
the fnny tribe possesses visual organs in a
rudimentary condition: but, through want

Fat Cattle.

Excessively fat cattle are not as often
seen in the markets. nor is that condition
as much sought, as formerly, says the
American Farmer. The demand now is
for early matured lean, or well marbled
meat Great bulk in fat is Improbable,
and feeders have come to understand this,
and now cater to demand that pays bet
ter and at the same time furnishes a class
of beef that gives greater and more gener
al satisfaction. Even Christmas cattle,
that in the by-gone times required so long
and expensive care to fit them for the
occasion, are found in the pink of con-
dition, bat wanting that superabundance
of fat that was deemed so essential a finish
to high class beef few years ago. Young
beeves with early maturing qualities, are
the requirements of the times, and these
are reached most successfully ny intelli-
gence and skill devoted to breeding and
feeding. The demand and the markets
have been reyolutionizad within a few
years through these sources.

Things Money Cannot BUY.

How much the happiness of individual
lives is made up Of priceless things, I'M
saleable in the coin Of the land, yet found
quickly when the heart of the searcker
honestly desires them. Many Of these real
treasures are qualities that simply d;ffuse
themselves through the moral and mental
atmosphere, and are sometimes little
valued because they seem too Vaporous and
too Elusive to be practically grasped; but
they are genuine possessions, and won by
heart service.
Who does not rejoice to have an honor.
able name-not necessarily distinguished
name, but clean one? Truly, pride in
such an inheritance, which cannot be
bought, is justifable if with it there are
mingled feeling of humility and desire
to do ones own part to transmit the
name as unsullied as it has been bestowed.
What makes home love dearer and sweeter
than all else, and treasured while life
lasts? Not the tables and chairs, not the
delicacy OF porcelain, or the aesthetic beau
ty which the loom achieves. These minis
ter to the comfort, taste, and artistic
nature; but beyond these there is some
thing which ministers to the heart and
soul, gorifying plain surroundings and
uOuely ucId1lS- IIuclHC w
measure or weight, yet potent to guide, to
comfort, and to help. What is this but
the sympathy, the trust, the spirit of sacri-
flee, the gentleness, the faith, the readi-
ness to do and to bear, which blended to-
gether, make the chain that binds us to
our homes?
What beauteous prospect, what iuxurl-
Gus surroundings, what wonders of nature
or art but lose their mysterious charm
when viewed by eyes that seeing see not,
or when shared with a cold thankless
heart? The power to enjoy, the power
to appreciate these are what render pleas
ure real and bring the joy into them.
This thankful receiving of pleasures great
or small, and extracting the honey Of en-
joyment from them, is not to be found at
any store, yet it is another aud large factor
in true happiness.
Contentment, too, thai balm against
the ravages of worldly unrest, where can
it be found, and what is its price2 Not
silver or gold, but patient striving with a
thankful heart will bring it to the soul
who desires it, and In It's possession turks
the charm to chase away unhappy visions,
to still unwise longings, and to open the
inner vision to the peaceful delights of the
home, the friends, the advantages which
may be ours. And so through all the
phases of human happiness we may go,
finding always that its true essence is
something that must be gained without
money and without price, Harper's

The Farm Wagon.

The farm wagon gets more use than any
other tool on the farm, yet majority of
farmers wagons rust and rot rather than
wear out. This is mainly because they
are often brought home late, and there is
no neat, convenient place 10 put the wagon
over night. In times when the roads are
bad the wagon is often not used from one
week. end to another, If it Is standing
meanwhile, exposed TO rains. SHOWS and
alterations of freezing and thawing, the
farmer Is losing money faster than he
thinks. When wagon begins to want
repairs, except the annual painting, 1t
costs as much to keep it in order as the in
terest on the cost CT new wagon, besides
losses from delay because the wagon has
broken down. Keep the wagon new as
long as possible. When it begins to fail
the wagon maker will probably allow you
more for it towards payment on new
wagon than it is worth for a forehanded
farmer to keep. A wagon house, made
happers in connection with the horse barn
and used exclusively for storing wagons
and other wheeled tools, pays better inter
est on its cost than most investments farm
ers are able TO make.

Profit in sheen

Sheep husbandry is something like
fruit-growing; it is about the poorest kind
Of an occupation for careless man. But
the man who is diligent in business can
make higher percentage of profit with
sheep than he can from mixed farming,
and this will always be so, because the
sheep business is not permanently attrac-
tive to the majority of farmers. 1t is not
even necessary that a man should have
a special knack or eye for Judging sheep,
If he is only thoroughly attentive to their
wants he may be tolerably Indifferent to
fancy points" and yet make handsome
profits.

Corn Smut.

Every year there is a greater or less
amount of damage from smut in the corn
fields of the west. We hear Of little COM
plant this year, while last year, in the
same fields, the damage was as high, in
some cases, as FIVE per cent. of the crop.
Scientific men, who have given the mat
ter close attention, are at sea as to the
method by which corn is infected with
smut The Kansas experiment station
has been trying to solve the problem by
injecting the seed with smut in different
ways, planting some plants with seed
mixed with dry spores of corn smut, mix
ing other seed with the dry spores Of sor-
ghum smut, others with seed first wetted
and rolled in various kinds of smut, and
still others with corn free from smut
The results Of the experiments show that
artificial infection of seed corn has moth
ing whatever to do with the amount of
smut, and that in whatever way the in
lection is secured it is not through in
fected seed. Before a remedy can be sug-
gested the mode of infection must be as
certained This is Fit subject for the
experiment stations

There seems to be disposition in the Farm
ers' Alliance to abandon local cooperation and
adopt national system of cooperation as to
the purchase Of supplies. The effort to elm
mate the middleman, whether locally or ma
tionally. might result in good if several known
principles of human nature did not stand in
the way. The alliance will find that men are
men, either as merchants or as farmers mer-
chandise agents. To remedy existing evils in
the system of buying and selling so far as they
are felt by agriculturists 1t is proposed that the
farmers settle upon one vast purchasing agency
and give il the business now done by the mer-
chants Of the United States with the farmers.
They think they have solved the question Of
getting goods cheaply, and it is hoped that their
experience will not unsettle their faith in
themselves. whatever may be thought Of anti
monopolists setting up a huge monopoly to
swallow all the alleged monopolies that torment
the soul Of the farmer. Some years ago the
Patrons of Husbandry started cooperative
stores and agencies for the sale of farm pro-
ducts abroad, all the profits to go into the
pockets Of the patrons But the scheme proved
. failure. The alliance might well study the
experience Of the Patrons of Husbandry to
ascertain IL there is in it any warning against

Is IL toy or tinsel patriotism for the Cubans
in New York and elsewhere outside Of Cuba to
celebrate annually the declaration of independ-
