"First-Desires to express its full
and implicit confidence in the ma.

Attacked By . Moose.


A correspondent, writing from Mecu-
noma, Muskoka. to the Montreal Wit
ness, gives an interesting account of an
adventure with moose. While making
q toboggan trail through a pine forest
he came upon moose yard, and on
looking round saw one Of the "giants of
the forest' about 80 yards distant.
After moment, he writes, the moose
turned and walked behind hill, which,
though not high, was steep. ran to
the top with all speed, hoping to get o
view Of the lordly creature as he made
his way through the bush. could not
see him at first, but on looking down
the steep incline there he was, and ten
yards away.
He turned to make off, but striking
his ribs against the projecting limb Of
small hemlock he was thrown down
and round the tree, and as he rose he
faced me. It was now my turn to run,
tor tho moose charged at me with erect
ed name, expressing his rage by fierce
below.
In turning stumbled, the ground
being very uneven, and his feet nearly
came down on me as lodged among
some trees. / tried to strike with my
hatchet, the only weapon I had, but did
not succeed in ;utoring my pursuer.
With some difficulty ! at last got into
the deep snow, where my snowshoes
were of more use to me.
The moose still pursued me, sSssiisHhk
at intervals, and one who has not heard
q moose roar can form but little idea Of
the terrible believing. After several
attempts to strike me with his front
feet he baked and stood about 20
yards away paving and roaring. I
seized this opportunity to climb tree,
and soon after the animal turned and
made off.
OF all the adventures have had in
the husband they number few-the
one I have just related came the nearest
to being my death.

BANANA CULTURE.
As Conducted ON the Southeast Coast OF
Florida, South of the 2Sth Parallel.

AS Conducted on the Southeast Coast OF
Florida, South of the 2Sth Parallel.
There is belief, and it seems to be
well founded, that the banana cannot
be successfully raised in Florida above
the twenty eighth parallel This state
ment is made by Floridian, who writes
as follows of banana culture on the
southwest coast of Florida in The South
ern CultivatOr:
The banana plant is of easy culture
and if killed to the ground by severe
freeze, new and strong suckers soon ap-
pear from the roots and in some cases
will fruit the same year. It is found
cultivated, therefore, in many places
where fruit is not expected oftener than
once in every four or five years. Most
banana plants that are in healthy condi
ton will stand cold as low as Is de-
grees for few hours without any fur
Their injury than the loss of leaves.
The plant f1ourishes and fruits best in
very moist, rich soil, but will not en-
dure standing water about the roots.
They may be cultivated, however, on
high. dry land of almost any descrip-
ton, though with less success. The
best location for a banana patch is on
the banks sloping down to pond, lake
Or Ebay head" The spongy nature of
the soil in such location agrees per-
fectly with the roots, provided they are
not planted far enough down to be III
standing water.
Methods of cultivation are diverse,
some being in favor Of deep, continuous
mulching, other with cultivation like
corn. Still others set the plant in hole
two feet deep, when doing the original
planting. Location and soil, however,
account in a great degree for these diff
ferences in mode Of cultivation. The
growers of the lower keys along the
extreme southern coast produce fine re-
suits with no cultivation whatever ex-
cept an occasional piling of weeds around
the plants. Excellent results usually
follow heavy and often renewed malch-
ing.

In the application of an insecticide
care should be taken to have it evenly

can be applied either dry or mixed with

most convenient, and when this is done

Flags at Half Mast.
Voyage.

The custom of flying a flag at half
mast high as a mark of mourning and
respect arose out of the old naval and
military practice of lowering the flag in
time of war as a sign of submission.
The vanquished always lowered his flag,
while the victor futtered his own flag
above it from the same staff. To lower
flag, therefore, is token Of respect to
ones superior and signal of mourning
and distress.

Heavy rains and floods are reported in Texas. The eX- ports from the ports today were rela- lively large, being about 16,000 bales, and it looks as though the short inter- est was increased somewhat.
