piversitv and Rotatinn.

But very few farms are nowadays run
profitably, unless on these lines, says an
exchange. Rotation involves diversity,
but it means a great deal more Poor
Land means poor crops. A soil which is
deficient in plant food cannot ever be
titled to the best profit, but it is within
the reach of all to enrich their ssoil by
turning under green crops, and this is one
of the easiest and cheapest methods of
applying fertility and il should not be
overlooked that when vegetable matter is
used for fertilizing, something is gained
beyond the mere amount of plant
food supplied. The mechanical eff
feet upon the soil by means of
which the other plant food already
there is made available is often hardly
second to the direct grain ofmanurial ele-
ments. One good point about green ma
During is that it may be done at any season
and in so many ways that some of them
are open to all. OF course, clover is the
great crop for this use. and the seasons at
which it may be sown and used are some
what arbitrary; but there are dozen
other things, some of which may be sown
at any time that you happen to have a
piece of land vacant, and they may be
turned under with more or loss benefit at
any period of their growth.
Peas are second to clover in adding to
the stores of nitrogen, and they may be
sown the latter part of the summer and
yet made sufficient growth to be a
valuable manurial crop. Rye sown even
later may be turned under in spring.
Turnips sown in August or September,
and turned under as the bulbs begin to
form are very valuable. They should be
sown thickly, so as 10 make perfect
mass of foliage. Even weeds are good
for green manuring, although we do not
advise growing them for that purpose

The objection to il, however, is that it is
very dangerous for horses. A better ana
cheaper fence, 1 think. would be a two
foot picket fence, with two or three
barbed wires on top, which will make a
fence that will turn pigs and horses as
well, provided you want TO keep horses
in it.

What a wealth of forage plants is at
the service of the southern farmer. What
a wealth of fallow plants too, with which
he may restore the wasted fertility of his
long-abused soils and do it in the way
that nature intended it should be done.
Very few of our farmers have studied the
subject sufficiently to be able to recognize
even a fraction of the long list that ma
ture offers TO him for the combined pur-
POSE of stock food and soil fertilizer. It
is quite true that if he would make full
use even of the few that he is familiar
with he would suffer very little from his
lack of knowledge of the scores of plants
that are adapted to his use There are
few farmers who are ignorant Of Der

the like, with which alone they might

Put the seeds in large jars or in a bar
rel and in the center of each vessel place
a small vial or bottle of turpentine that is
loosely corked. Let these vessels sit out
in the sun as much as possible during the
fall. The fumes 'from the turpentine
will destroy the vitality Of the waevil
eggs that are in the seeds, and the seeds
will be perfect next year. Where large
quantities are to be kept it would be bet
ter perhaps to use bi-sulphide of carbon,
but where only few barrels or less, the
turpentine is perfectly effective We
have observed this plan for many years
with satisfaction.

The early and deep SHOWS in the
mountains of the Northwest are caus-
ing a wholesale slaughter of deer. The
animals, compelled to leave the hills,
are the easiest kind of prey for the
sportsman, the pot-hunter and the
wanton slaughterer. Five hunters
with four dogs killed twenty-four deer
in one day, and a total of fifty-one in
six days hunt in the Elk Creek dis
trict, Oregon. The animals have been
driven TO the tidewater along Puget
Sound, and great numbers are being
killed all over the Sound region. The
Indians over the border in British Co.
lumbia are slaughtering the deer in
droves simply for their hides, leaving
the carcasses untouched. A trapper
found over two hundred fresh skins in
one camp of Indian hunters a week or
SO ago.

A French engineer named Bozin
comes to the fore with a scheme for a
steamship ON rollers or drums. These
rollers are to be supplied with paddles,
or creepers, and driven by engines, so
that the craft will progress more like
street roller or locomotive than an
ordinary ship. This scheme is spoken
of as something novel and startling.
In fact it appears to be identical with
a scheme invented and carried forward
to an experimental stage some two or
three years ago. The inventor ap-
peared somewhere in the West, and
later was engaged in building craft
on this plan not far from New York.
OF late nothing has been heard of
him and his drum ship. Did NJ. Bozin
steal the idea from the American, or
is this another of the instances IN
which great discoveries are made in
dependently and almost simultaneously
by different persons far removed from
one another? Be that as it may, we
may depend upon it that the Ameri-
can, if alive and compos mentis, will
bob up as a claimant in case NJ Bozin
makes success Of his ocean high

Following Her ExamnIe.

1t is often remarked that an unac-
customed traveller can get on pretty
well if he will keep his eyes and ears
open. A native of Ireland landed Mt
Greenock and wanted TO take the train
for Glasgow. Never having been in a
railway station before, he did not
know how to get his ticket, but he
saw lady going in and determined TO
follow her lead. The lady went to
the ticket box and, putting down her
money, said:

Her ticket was duly handed TO hel
and she walked away. Pat promptly
planked down his money and shouted

VIRTUE.

Sweet day-so cool, 80 calm, so bright
The bridal Of the earth and sky;
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight,
For thou must die
Sweet rose-whose hue angry and bravo
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye;
Thy root is ever in its grave,
And thou must die
Sweet spring-full Of sweet days and roses
A box where sweets compacted lie
My music shows ye have your closes,
And all must die
Only n sweet and yirtuous soul,
Like seasoned timber, never gives;
But though the whole world turn to coal,
Then chiefly lives.

Swift as a meteor it came, and, like
the bursting of thunderbolt, had
spent its wrath; and its dreadful har-
vest lay scattered far and wide, like
dead and wounded soldiers on battle
field.
And when the sky had cleared there
lay, at the feet of them who held life
within their grasp, dead and frozen
human form. Tight against the breast,
the clutched and stiifened fingers Of
the dead held the buckskin bag of
money-the evidence of Parson Toms
innocence
The crowd fell back, aghastl
It was Saddle-Hoss Pete l-Argo-

Money in a Rabbit RAneh.

Il IS not generally known that rab-
bit ranch exists near South Bend on
what promises to be quite an extensive
scale, observes the journal of that
place J. B. Baumgartner and Mat
thias Foerg are tie owner Of the ranch,
which is located above the Narrows,
and already have a barn forty feet long
and divided up INTO stalls, all OF which
are now occupied by bunny and his
numerous progeny.
The rabbits are OF the lop cared va
riety, breed exceedingly scarce and
held at fancy prices in the United
States. Mr.. Bau ugartner imported
two pairs from Switzerland e year and
a half ago, paying 5000 for them. He
now has over sixty rabbits from those
two pairs, which shows that in rabbit
farming, at least, two pairs beat three
of a kind. The rabbits breed seven
times year and have from eight to
ten TO q litter. When full grown they
weigh from fourteen TO eighteen
pounds. They are most delicious eat
ing, their flesh being considered supe-
rior to chicken. Az they command
from ii fifteen totwenty cents perpound,
rabbit farming is much more profit
able than chicken raising.
Like ordinary rabbits, they are prac.
tically omniyerous, They are beauti'
ful animals, with their long, silky ears
tnl fluffy fur Unlike other rabbits,
hey do not burrow EXCEPT at breeding
me, and sre exceedingly tame 10y ma
nre and easily kept. Messrs Baum
g4rtner and Foerg say tnut they awe
only made fair beginning IN the
business and are already planning 10
enlarge their building and ranch.

A consignment of about thirty stall
ions, broodmares and some trotters for

duce the American trotter to the notice
of foreign horsemen.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Two hundred and eighteen thousand
tons of phosphate have been mined in
South Carolina during 1898.
There are fifty miles of electric
railway and 1000 telephones in use in
Grand Rapids, Mich, city of 80, 900
inhabitants.
A deposit of iron ore has been dis
covered near Chipman, New Bruins
wick. Specimens are now being tested
with view to working mines.
p Silvert, of Dohlen, Saxony, pro-
poses the manufacture of glass pipes
by rolling down molten glass in
grooves or flutes, and using core to
complete the formation of the pipe or
tube.
The strongest timber is said to be
that known as "bilian," or Borneo
ironwood, whose breaking strain is
1.52 times that of English oak. 1t
becomes of ebony blackness under long
exposure.
The Yale Medical School has re-
ceived a new respiration apparatus, an
invention of Professor Wort, of Ger
many. 1t is said that it will make an
innovation among the medical schools
of the country.
Petrifed horse tracks are among
the curiosities attributed to Missouri.
They are said to be found in the bot
tom of a creek in Ray County. The
ancient bird tracks of Connecticut thus
have present-day rivals.
The highest pressure used to drive
a water wheel is claimed by valley
near Grenoble, France, where a tur-
bine ten feet in diameter has been
operated since 1875 with a head of
1888 feet. A flow of about seventy
five gallons of water per second gives
a force of 1900 horse power.

Thousands of photographs of light
ming have been secured during the
last few years, but until last month
there was no known record, made in
this way, of the globular form of
lightning. Such one is said to have
been obtained by DIR. Kemphill, of
Kingstown, England, on November g.,
during terrible storm. This mega
tive exhibits both the ordinary sinu-
GUS flashes, and, on the surface of the
sea, a number of fireballs, joined to-
gether by horizontal lines of light,
and resembling "the course of ball
of wool played with by kitten.
Under the Thibetan system of poly
andry, as observed by Mrs Bishop
| isabella Bird, the eldest son alone of
the family marries, and the wife ac-
cepts the brothers of her husband as
secondary spouses. The whole family
is thus held to the home. The children
belong to the elder brother, while the
other brothers are "lesser fathers. "
The natives are strongly attached to
this custom. The women, in particu-
lar, despise the monotony of European
monogamy, and the word "widow' is
term of reproach among them.
Children are very obedient to their
fathers and their mothers, and the
family feeling is strongly developed.

had been 80 kind to him would be
guilty of robbery. And yet the money
was gone. The long buckskin bag, in
which he kept his money and which
bore his name worked in silken thread,
he found behind the trunk.
When he met Paymaster Bill on the
following morning, he mentioned his
loss. Bill was astonished. He did not
believe that any man in the camp was
mean enough to steal, cat any rate, not
parsons money"
The story of the loss of Parson Toms
money was told about the camp, and,
while it was a mystery to some, the
more irreverent smiled and said they
guessed the parson was excited, and it
would turn up all right in time.
On Sunday the sun shone out bright
and clear, and old King Solomon was
as glorious q sight as one might wish
to see. His biblical namesake in all
his reputed glory could not have fur
nished a grander inspiration.
Every male person was promptly on
hand that night at the little school
house, and there was a sprinkle of the
other sex-women who had not
listened to a preachers voice since
they were little girls.
The half-hour was devoted to read
ing stories, which were responded to
by hearty laughter and few pathetic
ordinations.
When Parson Tom had finished and
was about to say goodnight, Paymaster
Bill arose and reminded his compan-
ions that on the night the pGrson had
called on them, it had been proposed
that fund be started toward building
church. Then he added:
81 don't reckon none of ye has got
a notion o. backin' down on thet ther'
propersition. Eff ye has, let's hear
it."
There was not dissenting voice,
though the amount of gold and silver
dropped in the parsons pretty buck
skin bag was not so large as it might
have been had the parson not "lost
his first winnin'."
The moon had dropped down be-
hind the peak of King Solomon, leav-
ing the camp in darkness, while soft
snow fell with that monotony which
indicates heavier fall to come.
Parson Tom had just opened the
door of his cabin to step in, when q
heavy hand was laid upon his throat
and a hoarse voice demanded:
"Give me that money! Quick |"
The parson was by no means a
coward He struggled with his assail.
ant, and together they fell into the
cabin and rolled out into the light
cover of fresh snow which had fallen
on the frozen crust. Muttered curses
and a tighter grip upon his throat met
! his resistance.
