Potash increased yield somewhat, pro

It Is claimed that the prospects are
bright for the prodHction of sugar, rice
and cassava on the reclaimed lands near
Lake Kissinmee, Florida. Already sugar
and rice have been prohtably grown,
and now FLORIDA correspondent in The
American Agriculturist AYERS that cas-
sava is one of the most profitable crops
which can be grown on these drained
lands. Experiments at the station show
that it can easily be made to yield from
FIVE to ten tons Of roots to the acre. and
these contain from 20 TO 25 per cent OF

Harvessinr Tobacco.


There are two methods Of harvesting
tobacco cutting down the whole plant
and gathering the leaves separately. The
former is the one that has been practiced
for a long time by tobacco planters. The
latter, which is of recent origin, is re-
garded by many as the most scientific
method.
Both plans have their advantages. The
first is the easier and permits of quicker
handling. but the leaves have to be sorted
afterward, while the latter permits the
sorting of the leaves in the first opera
tion and the development Of greater
number Of mature leaves.
For cutting heavy knife is used, and
tho method is similar to cutting sugar
cane, the plant being held with the left
baud and cut close TO the ground. Ths
plants should be removed to a shady
place to prevent their being sunburned
After the plant Is wilted and becomes
plant and in good condition to handle
without breaking it should be placed o.
the stick.
Some growers hold the opinion that tn,
plsnts ought tc be harvested without
whiting at all, stringing on the stick a.
soon as cut and carrying them Immediate
ly to the tobacco barn., The reason fol
this is that often at the time of cutting
the plant the ground Is hot and the plan
becomes warm and quickly sunburned
When hung on the stick, which is AZ fee
IN length, six to eight large plants are th'
usual number. These sticks are placet
on frame IN the field and loaded on {
wagon for taking to the tobacco barn.

A Tank Of Crockodiles.

One of the innumerable curious
sights of India is the Nuggar tank OF
Knrachi. In former times, the croco-
diles which inhabited 1t roamed the
neighborhood at their will, seeking
whom they might devour; but SO
great were their depredations that the
authorities were forced to build a
wall round their haunt. This is a
swamp caused by hot springs, the
medicinal virtues of which have been
known from early times, and are at
tributed to the sanctity of a Moham-
medan whose tomb is close by, and to
whom the crocOdiles are sacred. The
tank, as it is called, is about one hum
dred and fifty yards long by about
half that distance in breadth. In this
space one observer counted over two
hundred reptiles, from eight to fifteen
feet long, and smaller ones innumer-
able. They are SO tame, in sense,
that II is necessary TO poke themswith
stick before they will move. Buffa-
loes are always standing in the water,
and are not attacked but any other
animal is instantly seized. "The
whole appearance of the place." says
one writer, with its shiny, stagnsnt
water, and SO many of these huge, un-
couth monsters moving sIuggishly
about is disgusting in the extreme,

held. d."--Chambcr's Journal.

A paragraph is floating around stat
ing that in the course of about 6,OOO,-
600 years from now the forces at work
on the earth will have completely
leveled its surface, so that there will be
no longer hills or valleys, continents
or distinctive oceans. All the land
will have been washed down into the
sea, which will then cover all with a
watery mantle and render impossible
any life except that which can exist
without dry land. Almost coincident-
ly with this comes an assurance from
a distinguished astronomical writer
that the sun may last 100000 years
longer, but not twice as long as that.
His stores Of heat are being given out
so rapidly that some fifty thousand
centuries hence they will be depleted
beyond the point sufficient to main
tain human life or any of the higher
animal organisms. Other authorities
tell us the supplies of fuel are being
used up SO fast that they will have
much sooner than the
time named, and still others predict
that the human race will be killed off
by insufficiency of food as well as of
coal. Between these different prog
nostications for the future the pros
pect is rather gloomy one.

THE PRESS EXCURSION.

The excursion planned by the Yer
mont Press Association for a trip to
Chicago, promises to be very
pleasant one in it's opportunities and
it's associations. Unfortunately there
are some of the member of the Asso
citation and the press that seriously
object to the arrangements in regard
to the time set for the start from the
state, namely, Saturday night. It is
SO planned that two Sundays must be
used on the trip for travelling, four
hours of one to De used at Niagara
Falls for, to use the language of the
circular issued, "sight seeing" In
order to supply drinkables, parties
have been employed to take along a
quantity of celebrated spring water
and champagne. This will do away
largely with the excessive use Of tea
and coffee and furnish the proper
amount of exhilaration. 1t is announc-
ed that the Governor, Lieut.. Govern
or and other state dignitaries are to
accompany the excursion, and that
the state building will be dedicated
and opened on Tuesday, May 10.
There are some of the fraternity who
will not join the party on account of
the Sunday excursion arrangement.
1t seems strange that at time when
the religious world and the moral in
fuences of the country are arrayed
against the opening of the Fair on
Sunday the Press Association Of this
State should put itself on record as ia
voring the use of the Sabbath for a
journey to Chicago. The MONITOR
does not favor the arrangement, and
will not participate in the pleasures
promised if it is necessary to use Sun
days in order to carry out the project.

WORLDS FAIR.

Gov. Fuller, who returned from his
Western trip last week, reports that
the preparations for the Worlds Fair
are we'll advanced, the buildings be-
ing in excellent shape for the exhibits.
President Cleveland is to officially
open the Fair in the presence of mem
bers of congress, the supreme court, the
diplomatic corps, heads of the de-
partments and governors of the states.
1t is estimated that the attendance
at the Fair will be 2OO,O a day. Gov.
Fuller thinksI that the railroad officials
are placing their estimates of passen-
ger traffic too high, unless lower rates
are given than are now proposed.
There will be meeting of general
passenger agents this week, and if
their decision is favorable to lower
rates, all expectations will be realized;
but if unfavorable, it may be necessa-
sary for the railroad managers to
take matters out of the hands of the
passenger agents. Gov. Fuller says
that, according to present plans, there
is to be but little military display at
the Fair, and it will be necessary for
the Vermont brigade to await devel-
opments before it can determine what
will be done. Gov. Fuller has arrang
ed for the trip for the Vermont troops
if it is made, and is only waiting to
see whether the railroads will give fa-
vorable prices or adhere to their pres
ent prohibitory rates. = BrattIeboro
