Experiments in Agriculture in the West

fcoPYRIGH-. 1881

Our farm IS eight miles from the coast,
md between 2.1O0 and $500 feet up on
he hills on the north side. An area OF
one hundred acres contains no less than
seven small but aggressive hills from one
hundred To three hundred feet IN height,
but all capable of holding crops OF one
sort or another. Jamaicans always use
their hillsides partly because they
have to. and partly because the soil is
especially rich in these situations.
Here are planted vans, cocoa and the
like tropical produce. \ hoe is scraped
among the looserOcl1s wherever little
soil has accumulated, q yam Is planted
and a pole stuck in beside it unless a
small tree offers a substituted. and anon
the yam has IN an incNplicable manner
grown up. clothing its pole with pretty,
hop-lile festoons Of dark green leaves.
In a year from planting the vans are
dug. and If they have had Z chance 10
expand they viii often be a yard long
and as thick as mans leg.
Upon taking possession of our little
farm our first task was 10 clear patch
for the home garden. The ''ruinate"-
that IS to say, the trees and brush
which spring up after land has been
cultivated and abandoned-was first
cut down. This cutting is done
neither with ak nor scythe. bat with
tool peculiar to the West Indies, called
n machete. 1t is q sort of gigantic
knife, the blade two feet in length and
three inches broad. with a fcrmida BILE
curve to it like a scinetar. The handle
IS like that of the sword bayonets used
in the army. The lower part Of the
edge only Is sharpened; the metal Is OF
poor quality and the edge often needs
reviving. though it can be very sharp
for awhile. This picturesque nipple
ment does all the cutting and moving
work IN Jamaica and with this and
picllax and crowbar the primeval
forest is subdued
The brush, having been cut. must he
carried of on the heads Of the men ior
women) and piled up in heaps to burn.
The grass and weeds, il very rank,
must also be cut, and then comes the pick
aXipg. PickaXing costs from one dollar
- one dollar and half per square chain.

fuential families in New York, are
known to be committed TO the idea. but
they do not consider it timely to agitate
the project until the completion of the
new cathedral Of ST. John the Divine.
This cathedral VIII be the finest
church edifice on the American con-
tinent, and as the diocese OF New York
is far weather. than most of the sees in
the mother communion, it is likely that
its growth will be signaliZed in the
manner desired by the excessively high
church. AS for the opposition of Bishop
Potter and his entoura ge, that will
hardly count, since the worthy church
man viii probab IDLY be dead by the time
the great cathedral is ready for conse-
Grafton, and what he may think will
have 40 great hearing or consideration
then.
The archiepiscopal episode, as it has
begun to he called, marks the acute
stage of that inJerecine war in the
Episcopal church in the metropolis over
the question S sacerdotalisrn which
has brought bishops and clergy into
more than one unpleasant conference.
uCIC IL tlO blAC liie5 II
churchmen have the most at command
from numerical and pecuniary point
of view, and the bishop himself is
known to,have uttered fear that they
are inclined TO go rather far. Only the
immense personal influence OF Bishop
Potter and the known excellence OF
his administration have succeeded in
stemming the tide of itualism. The
more radical members of the flock are
very much displeased with the bishop,
and through their efforts resolution
was passed at recent diocesan confer
ence referring this whole matter TO the
general convocation next autumn. The
scene of hostilities is thus transferred
to an impartial body and the Episco-
palians of New York are already hard
1T work in efforts to secure an ascend
ancy in the sanctified body. As for the
low church body, they are abiding to
their antagonists as irrevereut and as
playing the part Of saints with barrels
whose money is their only claim to con-
sideration. The opposition, however,
applies the term SANITY devil" TO the
leader OF the low churchmen. and alto
gether the ecclesiastical situation is
embittered.

THE STRONG SLATE.

Is understood 70 have been the
origin of alleged unfriendliDess be
tween himself and Platt. 1t seems that
this ambition of the mayor has all along
been understood by Mr.. Plat, and.
while not openly avoUed, the story is
that when it was intimated TO Mr..
Plat he expressed himself as not IN
willing to aid Mr.. Strong, but that it
was rather early in the season
for consideration Of such a ques-
ton. Immediately the story went
about that Mr.. Platt had another
man in tow for the placc, and
Clarence Lexow is named as that
man. BE this as it may, the gov
ernorship is certainly the object
of the mayors ambition, and he
thinks he can readjust local po-
litical lines and get 4 nomina-
ton next year. Hence the rather IN
friendly relations existing between the
rural and urban sections OF the party.
Ali the talk seems to take very lit
tie account of the present governor,
who is believed to have commanded q
respectable number OF votes himself,
and who is not getting out of political
life apparently. It will be remem-
bered that there was talk Of presi-

It is said in the interest OF Mayor
Strong. It is a trife odd that Mr.
Strong has kept his little slate unbrok-

pleased, locally, and when Mr. Platt
pointed out that he was only thinking Of
party interest IN 1896, and that Mr..
Strong was hardly available as can
didate that year, the mayors friends be-
came angrier than ever, Interpreting
this assertion about next year as a def
mite announcement that Mr.. Strong
should not have Platt's support next
year for the governorship. Altogether
this question OF the governorship has
caused good deal OF embarrassment
to the party and is likely to cause more
unless Mr.. Strong retires from the
field.
