A Long Night Reduced.

The long Polar night will be hence
forth more bearable to the 1000 inhab-
itants of Hammerfest, in Norway, the
n~orthernmost village of Europe. Electric
light has been introduced into every
house in the hamlet. The power is
brought from three small streams a short
distance from Hammerstein, whose cur-
rents are so strong and swift that the
water does not freeze even in winter.
The people of the town have reason, in
deed, to be grateful to the inventor of
the electric light. The long night begins
at HammeTstein en- November IL and
lasts until January %, SO that the ar
tificial illumination will be of service for
sixty-six days. On the other hand, it
will be practically useless and unneces-
sary from May 16 to July 26, during
which time the sun never ceases to shine.
Hammerstein lies in north latitude 70
degrees 80 minutes Is seconds. At 81
degrees % minutes, north latitude, the
longest night lasts one month; at SO
degrees, 81 minutes it lasts two months,
and at 70 degrees 40 minutes, three
months. The polar night is shortened
and the polar day is heightened by the
refraction of light. The inhabitants of
Hammerstein, In fact, have no real night
between March 80 and September 49,

A Small Boy Upon q Battle Field.

After the defeat of the Chill Govern
ment troops at the battle of Concon,
Vina del Mar, near Valparaiso, a little
lad Of eight or nine years of age, hatless
and barefooted, arrived in the towno of
Vina del Mar and gave d tolerably circum-
stantial account Of the fight. At first
his story was not believed,
but little by little his tale was
WIS credited and listened to with
astonishment that a child of his tender
age should have been present at such a
sanguinary encounter. He quite art
lessly stated that when the San Fernaa-
do battalion left the town with banners
flying and bands playing he imagined
the troops were going out to exercise,
and followed them till he found himself
on the field of the battle. When the
defeat and rout eLsued he joined a
group of stragglers aud at last found his
way back to Vina del Mar by way Of
Quilpue, at which place somebody gave
him q piece of bread and a drink OF
water.-Detroit Free Press.

c FARMING.

There has been some controversy in
cord to the comparative merits of
s1scial farming and diversified farming,
lqith ! general opinion that special farm
M was the most profitable. Undoubt-
a51v II is so in many cases, where the
ssrger has a special liking for some one
hranch of his business and an adaptation
n 4. and is in a locality or upon a soil
,,scul1arly fitted for it. He gives his
lrhoIe attention and energy to it, and
LING it we'll enough to strive to do the
hest thing in the best manner, he could
scarcely help achieving success. Yet
every successful one has had a host of
;mitstors. who have failed to attain any
+h;no beyond ~mediocrity, and financially
have not obtained good results. They
either are not adapted to special farming,
~ have not found the right speciality
yat. and q speciality in farming, as in
ANYTHING else, requires patience, per-
severance and courage to stick to it
1espite discouraging failures, and to
wait until by many errors the right
methods have been found. Again,

Fish in lrrigating Ditch s.

Samuel Page, who owns a farm east
Of Hartford, CAL, states that the intro
duction of carp into the streams OF the
valley has fastened one of the worst
curses on the irrigated section that the
farmers have to conted with. Kings
River and the bitches flowing out of it
furnish water for Lucerne Valley. Wher-
ever the water goes the fish go, even into
the small bitches which flow into the
vineyards, orchards, or gardens.
Mr.. Page states that the carp, being
a species OF sucker and having the mouth
peculiar to that variety of fish, sucks the
the roots cut of the banks of bitches,
causing the banks to wash out. Their
destructive operations are not confined
4o the small bitches, for Mr.. Page states
that he has seen places where the fish
have eaten into the high banks of large
bitches at least a foot. Mr.. Page got
rid Of the fish in some of the small
bitches last year, by hauling sol
strongly i~mpregnated with alkali, o
which there are a number of spots on hi
farm, and making ditch banks out of it
Tha fish would not touch alkali soil
and where the ditch was stopped at boil
ends the alkali leaked out into the waite
and It killed off all the fish. He pro
poses hauling enough alkali next sprins
To the ditch banks to keep the fish ava,
from his bitches.
Besides hurting the banks the fsl

~ WITH THE ARsENIrEs.

Use of the arsenites-London purple
and Paris reen-to protect apples is
becoming very common, says Professor
q I. Cook. That we may thus save
nl,,ms. If the fruit be abundant and the
~curcuiio not very numerous, is probably
true, and thus these poisons are going to
IA be used more and more. As is well
known. these substances often injure the
foliage not a little. If plant-lice Oh
drouth take from the strength and vigor
of the trees then very likely they will
suffer more surely than when in full
vioor. Then we should strive to remove
the chance of danger. We should never
use these poisons stronger than n pound
10 200 gallons of water; that strength is
always sufficient to accomplish the pur-
nose. If weaker than this we do not
aIWays reap full benefit. Last year Pro-
lessor Gillette found that by the use of
lime with these substances the soluble
arsenic was changed into IN invaluable
compound, and then the foliage was not
injured. The same has been proved true
at the Michigan station. We expert
snented on all our fruit trees, even the
tender peach, and the lime in every case
prevented all injury. We tried several
applications at intervals of ten days on
some plants. and no harm resulted. We
see then that by use of Bordeaux mixture
or limewater, instead OF pure water, we
can entirely prevent injury to foliage by
the arsenites. The limewater should be
formed by putting from m pound to
four pound of thoroughly slaked lime
into 100 gallons Of water. If we wish
to use an lnsecticide and q funglcide at
the same time, then we may add one
pound London-purple to 100 gallons Of
Bordeaux mixture. In every case the
lime must be carefully and thoroughly
soaked, or that will kill the foliage
