pluming himself, then gently picking at
shoe buttons and finger rings. Occasion
ally he is INDUCED in a favorite pastime-
that of taking the hairpins out of his mis-
tress' hair.
In nature he is as gentle and affection
ate as a kitten and as he has never been
teased he has no enmity for anything eX-
cept a dog. One night he was attacked
by strange dog, and since then MS
hatred for any canine other than the
home dog is intense. and as soon as his
eagle eye detects a strange dog he gives
a cry of alarm, and in the most quiet, Sc
date. but stately way walks out OF range
into some retired corner. He is more
valuable than a watch dog, for at night
should any strange object tntrude the
premises, he quickly gives warning IN a
voice so loud and dangerous as to wake
even the seven sleepers' themselves.

within the last month or two further
development has been witnessed in the in
tFouuctlon by Herr Caron of Ellenbach,
German landed proprietor, of another bac-
terlal culture in similar form and prepar-
cd by the same German firm. This new
preparation is known as alinite, and is
designed Tor 1noculating the soil with an
other class of ritrogen-fxfng bacteria
and is recommended for use in connec-
t1on with the other great class of agricul-
tural crops, viz, grain crops; so that we
have now pure culture suitable for use in
the case of all the common agricultural
crops. From researches carried out by
that alinite consists of a pure culture of
the bacillus megatherium
The mode in which these pure cultures
are applied to the soil is simplicity itself
1t consists either in inoculatine the seed
of the crop which is to be sown with
the culture oy immersing it in watery
solution OF the culture; or in inOculatinP
the soil which may be most conveniently
done by mixing a quantity of sifted dry
soil with the pure culture and spreading
this over the fields When we reflect that
in a vial barely a couple of inches in
length and less than quarter of an inch
in diameter there may be contained the
means of enrichtEg an acre of ground in
its most valuable of all fertilizing con-
stituents we -ealize the great advantage
such a process possesses over the more
costly and troublesome mode OF strewing

THE HAY MARKET.

The circular OF Scott & Wagner says Of Hay;
THE arrivals of Hay on the San Francisco
market during the past six days have amounted
10 $500 tons. This shows a very heavy falling
off in the amount have been receiving of
late. On account of these lessened arrivals the
market has had a more buoyant tone. and has
caused a more confident feeling. Prices have
improved some. and particularly for the better
grades There is hardy any offerings of late
of what term choice Wheat Hay in rope
bound bales. Such Hay is in demand, is in
quired for daily and would command a figure
above topmost quotations Receipts OF Alfalfa
Hay have been very active lately, the desire
TO get the Hay to market before the rains are
heavy has pretty well filled the market The
feeling generally for this article is not as
strong as it has been and sales are not as
readily made although we cannot quote prices
being definitely lower.
- Foreign Hay-There has not been much
Hay coming in of late from our surrounding
States. Prices have discouraged shipments as
they were below the rates at which these out
side points could afford to ship their Hay IN
der the heavy freight tariff carried. With the
present frmer market shipments can be ex-
pected TO be resumed.
The demand for Straw has been fully equal
10 the supply of late. On account of the late
rain, which will probably prevent same Straw
from being baled, the market has shown GER
