"A Valley OF Death.

A valley surprising in reality OF
horrors the tabled region Of the upas
tree is reported to have been discov-
cred in the Island OF lava. This
island is volcanic, and in one spot
the emanatlOns from the interior Of
the earth are so deadly that the place
is called the Valley OF Death. AS
the travelet approaches it he is at
tackled by nausea and g;ddiness He
also notices suffocating smell AS
he advances these symptoms disap-
pear, SO that after passing through
the belt OF feuid air which guards
the valley, the visitor is able to ex-
anime with less risk the spectacle
before him. The valley is oval,
about one mile in circumference, and
from thirty to forty feet below the
level Of the surrounding land. The
floor o. the valley is fiat and dry,
without any vegetation; and scat
tered all over it are the skeletons of
men, tigers, wild boars, birds, and
stays, lying among large blocks Of
stone.
The hills which hem in this valley
Of desolation are clothed from base
to summit with healthy trees and
bushes A traveller descended the
side of one hill. with the aid of a
bamboo stick, to about eighteen feet
from the ibottom, and compelled a
dog to go down to the plain. In five

The day will undoubtedly com,
when the American trotter will be
priced and valued in this country
for his astonishing qualities, amCng
which soundness of limb and feet, a.
we'll as docility. is not one of the
least; and, while on the point Of
docility, it is important to state that
tho American horse is probably on!
Of the most docils animals Of the
world, and l can attribute this to
notkehg else than the habitual kind
ness and intelligence with which the
American treats this animal. The
breeder has been largely assisted ir
this by the negro.
Throughout the whole of tie South
where the negro prevails he has been
associated with the charge of breed
ing-studs, and his affection for the
horse has developed a kind Of reci
procity between himself and thi.
animal which has had a large in
fiuence on the progeny. Any on.
who has had to do with AmesIcar
trotters appreciates this virtue OF
docility. An American horse will
follow you like dog; he is not
timid, and he is always reasonable
If we could only introduce some OF
these characteristics into our English
horses 1t would add more to the
pleasure OF horse keeping and horse
breeding than any other element
know.-Duke of Marlborough, in Live
Stock Journal Almanac.

sprouts VIII Bpf1ng from each cutting.
Every year in March the switches are
cut close to the stem before the sar
shoots into the plants. The switches
are tied in bundles about ten inches in
diameter and placed in two or three
inches Of water, remaining there until
the latter part Of April until the sap
has risen and small leaves and sprouts
have appeared. This sap loosens the
bark which can be removed very easily
by being drawn through q wooden fork
similar to clothes pin
Willows must be dried in the open
air. They are then bundled to weigh
about fifty pounds per bundle. About
30, 600 willow cuttings are necessary to
plant an acre. :. The willow reaches the
greatest production in the third year,
and with proper care and good fertiliz.
ing it will continue to yield good re.
suits for many years.
Dry peeled willows are worth five to
eight cents pound, and green willows
with the bark on them are worth S14

GROWING POTATOES.

To grow potatoes, select the best
soil You can get, avoiding ground that
is liable to overflow, clear off all the
trash, and if the ground is not very
rich apply a good dressing of well
rotted manure and then plow rs deep
as you can. Then harrow until the
soil is in good condition. Then as soou
rs danger of frost is past plant 70,

blows. When ready toplant take q
plow and run deep furrows three and
one-half feet apart. Cut your potatoes
in pieces, one or two eyes to the piece,
drop eighteen inches apart in these
burrows, one piece in a place. Then
tako hoe and cover, putting IN inch
of soil over each piece. Cultivate a.
soon rs the plants are well up and keep
filing in the burrows, and you will not
be troubled with weeds in the rows
and will not need to do any hand
wedding. Cultivate once a week till
they bloom.--New York Observer.

FERTIr.ERs AND cow-pEas.

| The manner of properly treating and
applying fertilizers is yearly receiving
more consideration among farmers.
On this subject the Georgia Expert
ment Station tells Southern farmers
that the best results can only be OBJ
tanned from concentrated fertilizers by
using them on the best lands, and not
| by scattering them at tho rate of 100
or 200 pounds to the acre over large,
worn-out plantation. Nor should the
mistake be made Of applying large
|Gmounts of concentrated fertilizers on
worn-out land. The larger the appli-
cation the moro important it becomes
that the land should be in the best DOS
s;ble condition, such as it would have
been left in by good crop Of small
grain, with thorough and deep plow.
ing and narrowing.
The practice of sowing cow-peas is
strongly urged for renovating the soil
and for hay. Nitrogen is the most i'm
portant element of plant food because
it is Indispensable to the plant and is
deficient in all worn or partially ex-
hausted soils. 1t is the most uniformly
effective element of fertilizer for I'll
grains, grasses and cotton. While the
most expensive, if bought in the mar
ket, it may be drawn from the air by
cultivating such plants as clover, pea
nuts, vetches, burrclover, lucerne and
especially the cow-pea, which, if prop
erly utilized, will be more valuable to
the Southern farmer than red clover
has been to the farmers of the North
end West. New York World.

To Soften Stir Shoes.

1t is claimed that the following
treatment will make pliable the stiff
shoes that have been put aside to
dry after thorough wett,ng: First
wipe of gently with a soft cloth all
surface water and mud. then, while
still wet, rub well with paraffine oil,
using flannel for the purpose. Set
them aside till partially dry, when a
second treatment with oil is advisa.
BILE. They may then be deposited in
conveniently warm place where
they will dry gradually and thorough
ly. Before applying French kid
dressing, give them a final rubbing
with the flannel, still slightly damp
ened with paraffine. and the boots
will be soft and flexible as a new kid,
and be very little affected by their
bath in the rain.

ELECTRICITY IN AGRICULTURE.

Attention has recently been directed
10 the application Of electricity to farm
ing operations, and the designing and
introduction of suitable dynamo-elec-
trio machinery for this purpose would
no doubt be profitable both to the
manufacturers and the farmers. Early
in 1892, an electric power system was
installed at the farm of the Agricultural
Experiment Station, Auburn, Ala, the
current being brought from the college
laboratory by line three-quarters Of
II mile in length, conducted by the stu
dents themselves. A ten horse power
motor was used for ginning and press
| ing cotton, thrashing grain, cutting up
feed stuff, etc, and gave entire salts
faction. In every community where
there is water power. electricity could
be economically generated end used not
only for the above mentioned purposes,
but also to run saws, planning machines,
pumps, lathes, grindstones, cider
presses, sorghum mills, churns, sewing
Ihlachines-in short, for everything re-,
quiring rower. What farmer would
not welcome the exchange of smoky
lamps for electric lights? The arc light
may also prove useful in market gar
dening, some recent experiments made
in France having shown that it has a.
marked effect in stimulating plant
growth when sunlight is not to be had.
Where sufficient water power is not
available, windmills might be used in
connection with a system of storage
batteries. Such a utilization of the
wasted energies of nature would put off

CULTIVATION OF WILLOWS.

Inquiries are received concerning
the culture and marketing of willows
for baskets and other goods. Notwith-
standing the basket willow does we'll in
this country, fve-sixths of the guam
tity consumed is imported from for
eign countries.
The prevailing opinion that only low
land is suitable for willow cultivation
may be the cause of SO little attention
being given to it. Low land is best,
but high land is good. 1t is certainly
far better than land where there are
stagnant pools or too much water.
For the growth of willows the land
must be treated similar to that in
tended for the planting Of corn. It
must be plowed in the fall and loosened
up in the spring. The field must be
kept free of grass and weeds.
The willow cuttings are planted in
COWS twelve inches apart. The rows
should be three feet apart and culti-
oator and hand hoe used to keep down
the weeds.
The plants are cuttings from two to
three year old willows which are cut
one foot long, measuring three-eighths

THE cows CUD.

The cows cud is a quantity OF the
food that is brought up from the first
stomach after the food has been swal-
lowed and the animal is resting and
has time 10 -c--a.st cG.s :. more con-
pletely. Between the first and second
stomachs there is n receptacle about
five inches long s2d the size of the
gullet. A portion of the food is pressed
into this part OF the gullet and is
brought UP into the throat and mouth,
where it is chewed slowly. This food
may be seen ascending the gullet when
the COW is ruminating. The cud is nos
any distinct thing, as some suppose,
that may be lost, but is simply por-
ton of the food which comes from the
stomach in the way described. When
q COW Is said to lose her cud, nothing
is lost or dropped, but by reason Of
indigestion the action of the stomach
is suspended, and it is restored as soon
rs the trouble is removed by any
simple medicine. The most effective
is dose OF pint of raw linseed oil or
melted lGrd.--New York Times.

Tho Siciliau Peasant.

In some parts of the island tho ad.
vent of baby girl is looked upon az
such 4 misfortune that a small black
flag is hung. out Of the window to
proclaim the sad event. The reason
is not far to seek, says the National
Review. Having to be maintained
by the household as long as they arc
unmarried, and having to dover their
bride2rooms with a 'uOt," girls arc
improbable. Boys, on the other
hand, are soon self-supporting, and
they increase the family wealth
when the time comes to bring homo
a wife by the amount OF the young
lady's fortune. Nevertheless, the
girls, although kept in such strict Sc
clusion that one hardly ever meets
them walking about, are said to be
kindly treated. At the age of fifteen
or sixteen they are disposed Of in
marriage according to an arrange
ment purely financial, between the
families concerned.
Judging by appearance one would
think that the Sicillan peasantry are
in the last stage OF poverty. This is
to a great extent the case. but one
must not be altogether guided by out
ward signs, for however we'll of they
may be they seldom make any change
in their way Of living. They all live
by preference in the towns. Even
those who are employed in the coun-
try during the week build mud hovois
for that time and flock back to the
towns on Saturdays.
The women have no national dress
and no distinctive characteristic be-
yond the love Of bright colors, which
seems Unborn in all Southern natures
The men, on the contrary, are pictur-
esquely clad in black and white
black trousers to the knee. slit some
twelve inches up the outside seam,
to let out a bulging white undergar-
ment, sheepskin leggins strapped on
with thongs and moccasins; a white
shirt, open at the neck. with full
white sleeves gathered In at the wrist,
and over this black sleeveless vest;
black cloth cap hanging over the
ear. The time-honored superstition
of the 'evil eye" is still so widely
spread throughout the island, even
among the upper classes, that no one
who does not wear charm Is consid-
ered safe.
