A Famous Torrero's Feat.

The death of Cayetano, the famous
Spanish torrero, reminds me of a mag
nificent feat which he once performed,
not in the arena, but out in the country
near Saragassa on an estate where
was visiting at the time. He was STROLL
ing across a meadow with q couple of
friends when their attention was at
tracted by an old and infuriated bull
which was galloping toward them with
lowered head and erect tail. Cayetano
had no weapon, not even a cane, but he
seized a dust coat which one of his
friends was carrying over his arm. AS
soon as the bull got close to them Cay
etano bade his companions make their
escape while he engaged the animals
attention. Using the coat as cappa,
he drove the bull crazy with fury, step
ping aside with the deftest agility at
each of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn
sharply in the midst of his onward
rushes, until finally an orainous crack
was heard and the bull fell in q heap
with its backbone broken by the sudden
wrench it had been given by the ami
mails abrupt swerve. This is rare
and difficult feat on the part of tor
reros, and it was probably the first time
that it had been performed out OF the
arena-N Y. Recorder.

tivated to ADVANTAGE

How to Treat Land That Cannot He Gull
tivated to Advantage.
The poor field is always the most
neglected because it will not produce as
much as one that is more fertile. the
farmer preferring to place his manure
on land from which he can secure more
direct and remunerative results. the
consequence being that one portion Of
the farm becomes capable of producing
all kinds of crops while the other nor
ton in time is abandoned as unprofita-
ble II such a condition of affairs COM
PEELED the farmer to concentrate his
efforts on a small area he would be
profited by the change, but the cultiva-
tion of less land is intended to improve
the whole instead of only portion. No
piece of land on farm should be al
lowed to deteriorate in fertility. no
matter what the system of cultivation
may be, for the concentration of the
labor and fertilizers on one portion does
not prevent the other portion from be-
ing improved.
Abandoned fields are those that are
allowed to recuperate by faIlowing,
which system is simply to leave the
land to gain fertility from the nitrogen
brought down by the rains or by the
scant herbage that thrives on poor
soils. Fallowing was once favorite
method in former years, especial.
ly with those owning large
farms, for which no manure could
be provided except for only small
portion; but with innovations on the
methods of improving lands, fallowing
has been superseded by green manures,
the farmer preferrlng to grow some
crop at a small expense, to be plowed
under, system which, in the course of
two or three seasons, greatly adds to
the fertility of the soil, not only from
the nitrogen added by the rains and
stored in the plants, but also by that
brought to the surface from the sub
soil through the agency of the roots.
A field that cannot be cultivated with
advantage should, first of all, receive
dressing of lime, or, what is better,
wood ashes. If necessary commercial
fertilizers-those that will restore to
the soil the elements most needed
should be used, and the lane be gotten
in condition for grass. A worn-out
field will not produce a crop of grass,
but with the aid of fertilizers and a
green manurial crop it may be gotten
in condition for grass in two Or three
seasons. Once in grass it will be ben
Gifted naturally by the crop itself,
when the field may then be brought
into the line Of rotation with the fields
that have been under regular cultiva-
ton. IL some cases lime alone will
enable a field to gain in fertility, and it
is the cheapest method to pursue. The
old maxim-''put your manure on the
poorest land''-is an excellent one, bu t
small field we'll titled and manured
will always give the best results,
though no part of the farm should be
allowed to lose fertility.-Philadelp "a

THE VALUE OF LANDSCAPE.
AS the Country Gets Older Beautiful Spots
tod

AS the Country Gets Older Beautiful Spots
Are More Appreciated.
The natural resources of our beauti-
full country are so great and varied that
little will be left ungratified in the way
of landscape beauty when opportuni-
ties offer for development. Fortunate
ly we have land with such differences
in climate and conditions that stupidity
can not reduce our grounds to dead
uniformity from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc, and travelling will be enjoyable
for all time from the variety of scenery
it gives us instead of repetition of the
same botanical display in all places.
We can enjoy in their greatest per-
fection soft lawns and fresh foliage,
where the land is bathed in the soft
Atlantic air of our eastern coast: mag
nificent avenues of live oaks and mag
nolias, further south. and those of palm
trees nearest the tropic seas. In our new
Italy," the southern part of California,
are rapidly extending the charms that
the gardens and villas of Rome and
Naples were once alone thought to pos
sess, and the gigantic evergreens fur
ther north exceed anything produced by
Norway or Russia. Our receptive soils
enable US to add the wonderful conifers
of Asia and the South American noun
tains to the riches of Colorado and
Washington. The loquat, that strange
Asiatic fruit tree, whose Introduction
into Portugal is said to have changed
the whole appearance of the country,
is also naturalized in Louisiana.
The moist and equable climates Of
China and Japan have afforded us much
that succeeds wonderfully well, in spite
of changes that must be endured and
our hot, dry summers, so trying to many
things, especially foreign methods of
cultivation. While our natural resources
are nearly unlimited, we have much to
acquire is skill and taste, especially the
latter, for our methods of cultivation
and the products of our gardens are in
many cases far in advance of the rest of
the world.
When as a people we become familiar
with the best that has been done with
ground and trees and water, and our
taste is equal to our zeal, we can ac-
complish things that men have not seen
the equal of, and with the wealth of
material now availa BILE can excel in our
trying but exuberant climates all the
earth has had to boast of. While in
horticultural specimens and the produc-
tion of gorgeous flowers we now lead
the world, we must yet become i'm bued
with the broad principles of the art of
landscape gardening, practice them in
con junction with our neigh bors, cease
devoting much time and energy to petty
work and temporary details to attain
the highest possibilities, and then will
our people live surrounded by parks
and gardens from ocean to ocean

may imagine but it is in Louisiana. 1t

been found profitable for farming.
The syndicate that have this in hand

osene ointment is, we give the fol-
lowing from report of the Michigan
state board of agriculture:
Kerosene ointment may be made by
simply mixing kerosene and lard or.
better. kerosene and sulphur. This
ointment is eXcelleat to rid poultry of
lice. 1t should be kept in a closed can
in poultry house, and in the summer
the roost poles should often be rubbed
with the ointment. An old rubber or
leather glove makes this an easy and
not unpleasant task. After the poul-
try are on the roosts, some of this
ointment should be placed under the
wings, about the breast and legs, once
in four or FIVE weeks in the late sum-
ner.

spray the house and yard when the
