Mr.. Shaw Lefevre in the chair.
Mr.. d. j. Brett, rancho owner in
the province of Santa Fe, Argentine re-
public, was examined. He stated that
he had been in Argentina thirty-fve
years and had had long experience in
agriculture and stock raising in that
country. Wheat growing in the repub-
lie was for the most part in the hands
OF Italian colonists, though Swiss and
French immigrants were also engaged
In this industry. Some Of the best
colonists were natives of the Basque
provinces. The colonists as body
were hard working community. They
labored over sixteen and seventeen
hours daily, including Sundays. The
women worked on the land, and the
children drove the plows as soon as
they were old enough. The soil was cas-
lily worked, and no manuring was nee
essary. LabOrers were very little en-
ployed in the wheat growing districts
except for few weeks during the
harvest. The bulk of the work was
done by the colonists and their fami-
lies. Occasionally laborers went out
from Italy to Argentina for the har-

through the night is not stated, but Il
is certain that in the early morning
hours he is afflicted with a terrible
thirst, and that the only way in which
ne can satisfy it is by drinking large
quantities of milk. For weeks past the
residents, especially in the vicinity Of
Morton street, have found their supply
OF morning milk missing. Complaints
at police station II have been numer-
GUS, and patrolmen have been spend
ing their time in the early morning
hours hunting for the thief, but until
this morning they were unable to catch
MIN. For long time certain milk
dealers have been suspected of commit
tlng the larcenies, and for that reason
the trade of some has fallen off percep-
tibly. Early one morning a patrolmen
and milkman were on the lookout for
the thief, and were watching a can OF
milk which had been placed on the
steps of one Of the houses by the milk
man. Pretty soon they saw the dog
coming down the street, but paid no
attention to him until he went I'D to
the can which they were watching, and,
taking it in his teeth, made off with it.
This struck them as rather unusual,
but 1t was nothing to what followed.
They Swallowed" the dog and saw him
90 up onto the piazza of his masters
house on Armaline street. He sat
down on his launches, and with a
"here's-looking-a t-you air" took the
stopple out of the can and then poured
the milk down his throat" as the two
witnesses assert. This nearly reduced
them to comatose state, but there
was more to come; for when his dog
ship had had his drink, he took the
can between his teeth and made off tc
clump of bushes with it, where he
carefully placed it out of sight and Their
returned to the house. When the two
men looked in the bushes they found
no less than fourteen cans, which had
been placed there as the result of prev
lous thefts. Why it is that the doc
had not sold these cans or taken then
back to be reflled, is not stated. Tn,
facts of the case were reported to DO.
lice station II, and on consultation with
the persons interested it was deter,
mined not to prosecute the thief. His
master had never known that he had
acquired the milk habit, but after this
he will be kept in the house in the
morning until after the neighbors'
milk has been taken il.

WHAT THEY READ.

Michael Angelo was fondest Of the
books of Moses and the psalms of
David.
Bunyan read little besides his Bible,
and often said that Christians would do
we'll to read no other book.
Alexander the Great always slept with
a copy of Homer under his pillow. His
life was modelled after that of Achilles.
Bancroft's speciality was the early
history of the United States, and for
many years all he read had a bearing
on that subject.
Shakespeare must have been an ON
nivorous reader, for his plays show
odds and ends Of learning gathered
from every quarter.
Lamb was a Shakspearean reader
and fond Of investigating the source
whence the plots and tales utilized by
the bard Of Avon were obtained.
Walter Scott was devoted to the Dor
der tales that, even in his time. were
very numerous. Not few Of his nov
els are patchworks of fragments gath
cred from his reading.
Coleridge read the works of Shaks-
peare more than he did the writings Of
any other author. He said the world
had never produced and would never
again produce such genius.

were as large as the Crescent Mr.. Smith
was selling. One was much larger.
The berry created quite a sensation in
the Smith family, and it was their can
did opinion that it surpassed all other
varieties that the world had yet seen.
One day Mr.. Smith carried half dozen
specimens to town and gave one to
each of as many prominent persons who
felt in duty bound to give no end of
praise. He was greatly enthused, and
when he repeated some of the pleasant
things that were said his family con-
cluded that fortune had smiled upon
them. From that time on the new
berry was the leading topic, and all
the friends o. the Smith family were
informed Of its wonderful qualities.
After the bearing season the other
seeding were hoed up and the runners
OF the new berry layered all around
the parent plant, and carefully hoed and
watered. Johnnie's father gave him a
nice rich bed in the garden which he
covered with manure and spaded and
made almost as fine as sand. About the
list Of August there came a rainy night,
and the next day while it was yet
cloudy, Johnnie took uD twenty nicely
rooted plants with the garden trowel
and about quart of earth to each one.
and transferred them to the new bed.
They never felt the change, but con-
tinued to grow from the first. These
were treated just as the original plant
mad been the year before except that a
liberal amount of hen manure was ap-
piled among the plants, and in a d.y
time they were we'll watered. In the
meantime the old plant was making
more runners, and at the end Of the
season Johnnie had twenty large hills
and over 700 good plants.
All OF Mr.. Smiths customers had a
cnance to sample the new berry the
next season and compare II with the
Wilson and Crescent. The editor Of
the local paper received a sample and
gave very fattering notice in the next
issue. A nurseryman in the same
county heard Of the berry and finally

vest and returned home again when the
work was over. The wages were about
$3.50 day. Most of the old colonists
in the wheat growing sections of the
republic had purchased their land, but
in recent years immigrants had usual
ly rented their land, and the majority
paid produce rent ranging from to
IL per cent of the crop they grew.
Machinery and implements were gener-
ally obtained by the colonists by pur-
chase on years credit from store
keepers, and paid for in a certain per-
centage of the crop to be produced. The
older colonists who owned the land
they worked were certainly not in debt.

did not represent loss to the Argen-
tina colonists. many wheat growers
had recently devoted more attention
to the cultivation Of lucern or alfalfa.
The crop was most valuable one. and
when once the land had been laid down
no further trouble was necessary, as
the crop was practically perennial. AS

all runners as they appeared. Early in

among the plants, and when the first
freezing weather came the whole bed
was well covered with straw. This was
removed early in the spring, and every
weed that appeared was pulled up.
Just before the fruit commenced to
ripen some straw was placed between
the plants to keep it clean. There were

TACT remains all the same that the sec.

We still claim it would be better not
to put the seconds on the market as
green fruit. We complain that Nova
Scotia and Canadian fruit brings higher
prices abroad than our own. vet we still
insist that the inferior fruit shall make
up goodly part of it.
We fully believe that the introduction
OF the evaporator into our state IN a
much larger extent than it has ever vet
been done, and as has been done in the
fruit counties of New York. would
prove an advantage if rightly handled
The Gamers now take care of some Of
this inferior fruit. Let the evaporation
come and take the rest. It is estimated
that in Wayne County, New York above
a full million bushels of the last crop
Of this class of apples was evaporated,
and that in this form it was worth full
half million dollars. This disposition
of the fruit takes it out of the market
and puts it into form of value and
out OF competition with the green
fruit.
We are strongly Of the opinion that
such a disposition of this class of fruit
in our state would be greatly to the adj
vantage Of the growers.

bility of developing large exporttrade
in cattle and sheep to the United King
dom. Hitherto cattle rearing in the
republic consisted, 10 a great extent,
in the improvement Of the stock by the
importation Of good blood from Great
Britain and elsewhere. One great ad-
vantage possessed by the Argentina
breeder was the fact that his stock
never required housing or hand feed
ing, and in this way the expense Of
maintaining buildings was avoided.
The climate was such that the cattle
and sheep could be LETT ont all the year

Presidents who Were Farmers.

In those halcyon days Of agriculture
ten presidents OF the United States
we're called from farms.
i. Washington, the land surveyor
ana farmer, from Mount Vernon.
2. John Adams. of Quincy. who.
during the last year of his presidency
said; Il am weary, worn and dis
gusted to death. had rather chop
wood, dig bitches and make fences
upon my poor little farm. Alas! poor
farm and poorer family, what have you
lest that your country might be freer'

statesman. from Monticello.
4. Madison, farmer and lawyer, Of
Montpelier, Va.
.. Monroe, farmer, from Oak Hill.
Virginia.
3. John Quincy Adams. from the
quincy farm Of 100 acres. near Boston.
III is said that most Of the trees were
raised by John Quincy Adams from
the seeds which he was in the habit of
picking up in his wanderings. The
most peculiar interest attaches to a
snellbark hickory which he planted
more than fifty years previous to his
deatn. In this tree he took a peculiar
satisfaction, but he was an enthusiast
IN regard to all the trees Of the forest
dlnerlng in this respect from his
father, who was an agriculturist of the
cato stamp-was more inclined to Law
the axe to them than to propagate
them.)
l. Andrew Jackson, of the Her
mltage, IN Tennessee, who, as a far
mer, soldier and lawyer, was most ex-
cellent type of the best Americanism
.. Van Buren,, of Undertook, N. Y.
was called TO the presidency from his
sheep and wool farm, although he was
g lawyer of far above average acquire
ments and ability.
3. William Henry Harrison. from
his farm at North Bend, o.
10. Tyler. Of Sherwood Forest farm
virginia, where he subsequently died
II. James X. Polk, of Duck River
Tenn, also came from the farm to the
presidency.
This selection of presidents from
rural homes-from among the farms
OF the country-illustrates the fact that
IN those days there was no profession
or calling which held a more exalted
position in public estimation than that

Success in Agriculture.-Success in
agriculture, as well as in any other
business, depends largely upon the
amount Of thought bestowed upon II
Energy Of brain is as essential 10 suc-
cess as that of muscle. Many men who
have failed in mercantile and other
kinds of business think it is an easy
matter to make money on the farm
In fact, many farmers do not consider
farming in the light of a business, but
rather as an occupation one may fol-
low without any capital or special
knowledge. That is the chief reason
fellow farmers, that the majority of
persons having farms for rent want
cash rent for them. A good, practical
farmer. or one who has that reputation.
never has any trouble in renting for
crop rent. In fact, he does not want
to rent many years, for he is soon able
to buy farm.

Good Tools.-Good tools are a requi-
site to successful farming. But taking
proper care of those tools and housing
them are the points that most farmers
are wholly deficient in. The slipshod
way farmers have of leaving their tools
in field where used last, until the COM
ing season, will not make the farm paw.
More farm implements rot and rust
out in Kansas in one year than are
worn out in two years by use. In fact.
/ am well acquainted with a man who
used to claim to be farmer, who
bought a new cultivator, used it one
season, left 1t where last used until the
next season, and because II would not
scour the next spring, he said 1t was
no account and bought a new one. Il
goes without saying that the man did
not farm many years. He is now vorhs
