Usina CameIs in Australia.

Although the camel proved unsatis-
factory for use as a beast of burden in
the mining regions of Nevada and
Arizona, the animal is rapidly coming
into favor and profitable use in mining
countries in other parts of the world.
1t seems probable to the Mining In
dustry that in South Africa the camel
will take the place of the horse for
most uses, as the camel is not injured
by the insects which prove fatal to the
horse and the bullOcks, nor is it as
tackled by the diseases that destroy
other beasts of burden. The Germans
are already making great use of the
camels in Southwest Africa. They are
found to be very valuable for making
long journeys into the arid interior
regions of the country, as they are
able to travel a whole week without
water or food In Australia the camel
is fast taking the place of bullocks for
use in the barren interior regions. 1t
is stated that there are already opened
up and in regular work in Australia
FIVE lines of camel traffic, and that on
these lines over 1000 camels are in
daily use. Camels are found to be 80
useful that the number employed will
be increased as rapidly as possible
With bullock teams only about ten
miles q day can be made, but it is
found that the camel will travel eighty
four miles in eighteen hours, carrying
q load of 800 pounds. In the interior
Of Australia are over 1000, 900 square
miles of almost unknown desert, and
it is on the great inland plains that it
is intended to utilize the camel trains,
as by their use the various GASES of civ.
ilization may be more directly con.
nected than by the old bullock routes.
On the arid plains and among the mud
fats and brackish lakes the camel finds
plenty of coarse grass and thorDy
shrubs on which to subsist. 1t is
claimed that work can be found in
Australia for l 900, 900 camels.

! FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE BORDEAUX MuxTuRE.

The formula recommended by the
Department of Agriculture for the Bor-
deaux mixture to be used in spraying
plants is as follows: In barrel that
will hold forty-fve gallons, dissolve six
pounds of copper sulphate, using eight
or ten gallons of water, or as much as
may be necessary for the purpose. In
a tub OF half barrel slake four pounds
Of fresh lime. When completely slaked
add enough water to make a creamy
whitewash. Pour this slowly into the
barrel containing the copper sulphste
solution, using a coarse gunnysack
stretched over the head of the barrel
for strainer. Finally, fill the barrel
with water, stir thoroughly, and the
mixture is ready for use. If the copper
sulphate costs seven cents per pound,
and the lime thirty cents per bushel,
the cost of gallon of this mixture
will not exceed one cent. Fresh lime
must be used, and the copper sulphate
will dissolve more readily if powdered.

CHICAGO and the Worlds Fair Palaces.

-Four cities competed for the place
of host to the world, and Chicago was
chosen by Congress. And the young
city will be its own proudest exhibit.
So long as America was colonized ter.

glory of its discoverer. But when, in
1776, our young Nation cut her lead
ing-strings, crying to the world, "See

THE MOST POPULAR PIGS.

There is no breed of pigs that may
be said to be the most popular. Every
variety has its admirers, and there is
so little difference between the value OF
one or another that it is impossible to
soy which is the best except for some
special purpose. Thus there are large
and small breeds, as the Poland-C China,
the large Yorkshire, the Cheshire and
the Duroc among the large, heavy
kinds, and the Suffolk, Essex and Dor
set of the small kinds, with the Berk-
shire, Chester White and others of the
middle size. Every kind of pig we
have now has been so much improved
by culture that one is as good as an
other if the feeding is only well done,
except so far as pigs may be desired
for small early pork or for heavy meat.
II general vote were taken it is most
probable that the Berkshire would be
chosen rs the most popular kind by a
majority, as it is good, small or large,
and for pork, bacon, hams, or shoulders.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Good corn meal is the best for max
ing highly favored butter.
When a COW comes to grass she
should be in good condition.
The more water COWS drink, the
greater the supply of milk given.
If you want to make yonr farm pro
ductive keep o flock of productive
sheep and keep them so.
There is a premium on good horse
sense in raising sheep, and the butcher
osshes such premiums.
1t is kot enough to buy good sheep,
turn them out in an old field; they
must receive due attention.
Many stallion has been ruined be-
cause the animal was not sufficiently
exercised. Give him plenty Of work
in the road
Even an hour a week spent in cult
waiting with horse tools quarter OF an
acre Of ground will insure to family a
good supply of vegetables.
Never feed raw corn-meal to your
chicks. 1t should always be cooked
first. The best way is to bake it into
corn bread and then moisten with milk
before feeding.
Grease closes the pores of the egg
shells and in this way often prevents
their Matching. For this reason it is
not a good plan to grease the bodies of
the sitting hens.
Make up your mind this year that
your corn fodder is a valuable crop,
and that you will take as good care of
it as the grain. In this way you con
make corn-growing pay better than it
has in the past
Good cheese is comparatively scarce
article in this country. Our creamer-
les pay less attention to securing good
cheese makers than to securing butter
experts. We should pay more attention
to this branch of dairying.

The COW pea differs from the Canada
pea in the time of planting, 1t will
not grow until the ground is thorough

a crop of wheat is taken off, say the
middle of June. 1t is o fine soil reno

to take free nitrogen from the air. The
COW pea is to the South just what clover
is to the North 1 would not recon-
mend them as forage plant where
clover will do well, for they are no
better in my judgment and are much
harder to cure properly, owing to the
stalks and stems being much coarser.
Our way of sowing has been to use
an ordinary force feed wheat drill, set
ting the feed at the eight peck mark
for wheat. The best crop l have ever
seen grown was sown with an eight hoe
drill, only allowing every third hoe to
feed, stopping up the others. This
made the rows about twenty-four inches
apart, and a small garden oultivator
was used for cultivating them, but was
only used twice. This crop will pro-
duce three or four tons per acre as
drawn in from the field. Just how far
north these peas will grow am not
able to say.-Hoard's Dairyman.
