considered a good one and has been
generally abandoned The time for SOW
ing trees varies in different States. and
in some of them sowing is carried on
at all times of the year. 1t is desirable,
however. to time the sowing of the seed
in the nurseries in such way that the
plants may be from inches to inches
high in the planting season. An acre
of ground holds about $50 trees, planted
s feet apart, with feet between the
rows. This opening is very generally
adopted, though some planters in this
country prefer to plant at greater dis
tances. Special care should be taken
in planting the trees that the tap root
IS not twisted or bent. Nipping off the
tender portions, if done in the right
way, does not materially affect the
growth of the tree, and obviates the
danger of its being turned up, which in
a year or two kills the plant.
The other precautions to be taken in
planting do not require special mention,
as they are such as would commend
themselves to any one having even
slight knowledge of arboriculture The
best time for planting is the early part
OF the rainy season. Irrigation and also
manuring are sometimes resorted to in
Mexico, but if a suitable site has been
selected neither will be necessary on a
new plantation. 1t may be added that
the practice of manuring the nursery
ground is not a good one, as it units
the young plants for their ultimate des-
tination.
The export of coffee from Mexico in
1S94-5 was 324, $50 cwt The cost OF
coffee growing per acre in the sixth and
subsequent years after planting is esti-
mated at Eli It's, and the receipts from
a crop of 1900 pounds of coffee at p
Mexican cents are put down at Ell 6s,
leaving margin of Els 9s per acre for
interest on capital and profits to the
owner. In making these calculations it
has been assumed that good site has
been chosen for the plantation, and that
the land and its products have been
treated.

COURAGE IN BATTLE.

There can be little doubt but that the
character of modern warfare and mo-
dern weapons develops the highest
types of personal courage. The terri
bic destructiVeness Of the quick-fire
Maxim guns, the long and deadly range
OF the newest rife, and the awful de-
vastatiOn of the torpedo, all call forth
q moral courage which was unneceS-
sary in the days Of fierce hand-to-hand
conflict. The courage required to coolly
work machine guns amidst a hurricane
of bullets. or 70 dash across an uncov-
cred tract Of country where every inch
is plOughed with shot and the mathe-
NAUTICAL possibilities of escape are in
fnitesimal, is OF a much higher type
than that requisite in a hand-to-hand
struggle with knife OF spear, sword or
lance. The first calls for moral cour-
age, the second only animal courage.
When the lust Of fight and the heat of
battle makes mans blood run riot, he
will struggle with his fellow-man with
all the pluck that is in his nature. Two
dogs will do virtually the same. Seize
one Of the dogs, he viii turn on you
pluckily. Stone him, the probability is
he bolts.
