n.rlIns Of nrl,l.h Farming.

The British Board Of Agriculture has
just issued Us official figures for 1895.
which tell an interesting and slgnif.
cant story. incidentally Il appears that
the extent Of woodlands In Great Brit
ain is 2,726,OOO acres. OF which ia2. 900
acres have been planted In the last
fifteen yeara During the last year
there has been a gain OF about 80. 900
acres. Tho most striking figures relate
to the shrinkage In the amount Of land
under the pillow. which was increased
by the unpropitlons character OF the
autumn fced time Of 1894 ana early
spring Of 1895. More than $4,000
acres less OF wheat were grown and 81.
goo acres less Of minor grain crops. rye.
beans and peas. Onc-nfth part Of the
surface withdrawn from these crops or
from wheat was devoted TO barley and
oats but the corn land OF 1895 was less
by nearly $4,000 acres than that Of
1894. while weather conditions. check.
lng the preparation Of the customary
area ior turnias and other green crops,
caused further reduction Of ii2 900
acres under this cultivation. The sur
lace under potatoes. small fruit. Ia.
cerne and FAX was larger BY 5000
acres and the acreage left under bare
iallow was extended by nearly 100 900
acres
The net reduction Of arabic land was
$4,000 acres, aud the net addition 10
me permanent pasture little over
$4,000 acres. The actual loss Of arabic
area In the last two decades Is 2.ia7.-
200 acres The reduction Of wheat
growing alone accounts for most Of this
loss. Under this head there was a total
dimlnnllon Of more than 800 900 acres
between 1875 and 1895. More than a
third OF the decline In the arabic area
ana more than half OF this reduction
IN wheat acreage, occurred In the last
I'VE years OF the twenty.

Or bird Of death, F" is known to be VEN
omous. This queer and deadly species
Of the winged and feathered tribe is a
native of the island of Papua, or New
Guinea. The bird is described as being
about the size Of Il common tame pigeon.
Of gray pluEaSe, and tail of extraor-
binary length, ending in tip of bril-
liant scarlet red. Ii is marsh bird and
is found to inhabit only the immense
stasnant pools adjoining the lakes of
the interior of the island The rpir has
hooked beak, as sharp as cock s spur
and hollow. The venom with which he
inCculates is distilled in a set Of organs
which nature has provided for that pur-
pose and which lie in the upper mandi-
bic, just below the openings of the nos
trlls. Under this poison secreting labora-
tory i'll the roof of the mouth is a small,
fieshy knob. When the bird sets its beak

celves pressure which liberates the
venom and incculates the wound. No

by rpir 'doob. The suffering in such
cases is said to be much more a2onizinp
than i'll cases of rattlesnake and Gila
