SHEEP AND BEES.

For fruit-grower to antagonize bee
culture, declares DIR. j. w. Vance, ar
gues the most stolid ignoronce and
stupidity; but there are numerous cases
on record where much opposition has
come from that source. We have had
one instance in this State, even of a
sheep raiser who went to law with his
bee-keeping neighbor, alleging that his
bees injured the clover in the pasture in
which the sheep grazed.
1t is pretty well known to bee keep
ers that bees not only do not injure the
plants or fruit which they visit in gath
ering honey, but the bees are almost in
dispensaple to the fertility of the flowers.
Many bee keepers are engaged in fruit
culture also, and regard the presence of
bees as great benefit to the product of
fruit, rather than a damage to it. One
of our most enlightened and progressive
bee-keepers is sheep raiser, and has no
fear that the little busy bee, while i'm
proving each shining hour (as DR.. Watts
says), visiting the clover blossoms of the
sheep pasture, will withdraw aught of
their nutritive property. - Wisconsin

The above, should il be found true on
American fields, would constitute good
reason why manure should be left in
heaps 10 rot, instead Of being hauled out
aud spread as soon as made, as is now the
practice Of many farmers. 1t is, how
ever, worthy Of inquiry, whether danger
does not arise more from smut-infected
provender consumed than from greenness
Of the manure.
An American authority quotes DIR.
Brefeld as saying that in nature the vi
tality of corn smut may be preserved in
definitely in the dung Of animals that
have eaten smutty corn, aud it is ready
to form mycelial tubes and enter the corn
when the latter is planted in ground fer
tilized with such manure. According to
the botanist of the Nebraska Experiment
Station, smut spores may grow in manure
and liquids in the barnyard for an indefn-
ite period. d.--Neo York World.

CULTIVATION PAYS.

Mr.. J. X. Reeve, writing in the Farm
er's Home, says: "Some one has been
asking whether it pays to go TO the full
length of extensive cultivation. Won't
it really pay better to give just good,
fair cultivation9 Does not the cost OF
excessive cultivation and fertilizlng eat
up the protitsl" We recently put this
question to the head gardener at Mr..
Jay Gould's county seat, where it is
needless to v there is no question as
expense OF 5it, but only an effort to
produce the best possible results. The
fruit and vegetable garden was an exam
pie of thriftiness aud produc.iveness
such as is aIely seen even with the most
advanced of professional market gar
deners, and the superintendent said that
if he we've gardening for profit he should
pursue exactly the same course as he did
then, because in his opinion it was the
maximum production, however obtained,
that gave the profit"

SMASH THE SALOONS.

The two great agencies on which we must
depend for the suppression % the liquor
traffic are the Gospel oe Christ and the
strong arm of the law, and of these two the
first is by far the greater. We have no
faith in the psrmanency of any reformation
which does not aim first OF all 70 reform the
hearts of men. The Christian church could
do more, if it would, to bring about the
abolition of the liquor traffic than all the
temperance societies and temperance
parties in the world put together. We do
not say this in disparage nent OF these
societies and parties either. They are doing
a noble worG--much of it a work which the
churches have either refused or neglected. TO
do, the more shame for then. We thor
oughly believe, too. in tn agency of the law,
in its educative powers, in its power to re
press and discourage evil men in their evil
ways. It is a good thing TO re9ch the hearts
of drinking men, il you can, with the Gospel,
it is also good thing to put temptation out
OF their way, il you can. The flesh is weak,
and il is risky thing to turl newly con
verted drunk0rd out OF a church into a street
lined with gin-mills and oiorous With the
odor of the beverages OF he'll. Let the clurcl
go ahead with its work inside. but don't let
it forget T. work outside, too. Smash the
saloons -Chris'idn at Work.

PRUNING BLACK oURRANrs.

In this operation it must always be
borne in mind that the black currant
fruits best on wood of the previous
summer; it is therefore best to encourage
free growth by cutting out the old
wood after it has borne for two or three
seasons, and training your branches up
in its place. To secure this end it is not
advisable to grow black currants on short
stems, as is often done with red currants,
as they are all the better if they throw
up strong young shoots from the roots
occasionally. In pruning young plauts
raised from cuttings they should be cut
back until five or six good strong shoots
are obtained to form a tree. These
should then be left full length, and any
small shoots cut back to one bud. After
this all shoots that cross others may be
cut out yearly, and the weakest shoots
cut close so as to obtain a nice even
shaped tree, with an open center like a
teecup. All branches that droop down
lower than eighteen inches from the
ground should be cut off, as fruit that
gets splashed with dirt is of no use in
the market, and only fit for wine max
ing. All old wood that is becoming
weak should be cut out, and If planta-
tation begins to fail from old age it may
be cut down to the ground and given II
heavy dressing of manure. One years
crop will thus be quite lost and part of
another, but the fruit will be much
larger afterwards on the young shoots
which spring up abundantly from the
old roots. After pruning is over the
ground between black currants should
always be forked over, putting manure
on first if the ground is poor. --JouSHai

McSMlneH,s Gun.

Near Horn Head, County Donegal,
Ireland, there is a hole in the rocks called
McSwiney's gun. 1t is on the seacoast
and is said to have connection with
cavern. When the nortn winds blows
and the sea Is at half flood, the wind and
the waves enter the cavern and send up
jets of water from the 'gun" to a height
of more than 100 feet. The jets Of
water are accompanied by explosions
which may be heard for miles.-St.

On Clark street, near the end Of Davis
street, the Italian Produce Exchange is
located. II is a general rendezvous for
the hundreds Of vegetable farmers, who
go there every morning with wagon
loads Of potatoes, cabbagos and other
vegetables. Much Of the stock thus de-
posted at the exchange is shipped to
various places along the coast.
But it is appropriate at this juncture
TO state that to all intonts and purposes
the "exchange," so far as a storage
building is understood, is a misnomer.
The tons of produce arriving every
morning are deposited for the most part
on Clark street itself. Every cabbage
is carefully examined. If il contains
the slightest blemish or shows any signs
of decay it is thrown aside, and thus be-
comes public property. BY the time the
wagons have cleared away the street is
Uttered with cabbages. Then a scene
akin to that indicated here ensues with
daily regularity Men, women and
children engage in sharp competition
to secure the delicious vegetable which
harmonizes so nicely with corned beef.
Such pushing and shouting and scram-
bling as takes place in Clark alley would
battle the pen of the swiftest artist.
Women with streaming hair, red faces
and huge aprons gather up stock of
vegetables aud run off flushed with VIC
tory. Even missing goats, attracted
from the heights of Telegraph Hill,
whisk into the alley and eat their fill of
the charity feast spread before them.
Nor is the penchant for free cabbages
confined alone to the poor of the neigh
borhood. Merchants and capitalists do
not think il stain on their social escut-
cheon to drive into the alley in their car
riages and leave with a store of cabbages.
They arrive arrayed in broadcloth and
plug hats; they leave with stained cuffs
and soiled hands.
And over the whole scene drab- -shirted,
scarfed Italians indolently preside, watch
ing the street swept clean of its edible
Tubbish.-Sda Francisco Chronicle.

The SneeIe. Room on shlphonrl.

In these days of heavy gold shipments
the specio-room on the steamship is
very important institution. 1t is located
in an out-of-the-way place amidships,
under the saloon Few of the passengers
know of its existence, or of the valuable
treasure that is carried across the ocean
with them. The room varies slightly
on different ships, but IS usually about
sixteen feet long, by ten feet wide. and
eight feet high. 1t is constructed of
steel plates one-quarter of an inch thick,
aud strongly nveted together. The
floor, the ceiling, and the walls arc all of
steel plates. There is a heavy door also
made of steel. It is provided with two
English "Chub" locks, variety of com
bination lock that is said to be burglar
proof. The gold and silver is usually in
bars, but occasionally a quantity of coin
in bags is shipped. This was the case
when the heavy shipments of gold were
made last spring. The Majestic is cred.
tied with carrying the largest quantity,
her strong box having S4, 500, 900 in
trusted to it for safe eepng.-SeribRer.

Foop FOR YOUNG CHICKS.

Fowls have strong digestive organs
and do not need their food ground.
Young chicks are no exception to this
rule. Because they are too little to eat
whole corn grains, the corn is ground,
mixed with water and fed. More than
likely the gizzard, having nothing to
grind, losses its power, just like any
other unused organ does. The moist
ened, mushy mess stays in the crop
until it ferments, while feed of small
particles of grain--cracked wheat is
best of all--would be ground up and
keep the chick in thrifty condition.
Cracked wheat is better for chickens
than brand or wheat middlings. 1t has
more nourishnient and it gives the giz-
zard something to do. o.-BostOa 0uttipd-
