Our Pears Abroad,

France has usually supplied England
with most of her best pears, but last
year heavy importations OF American
pears created a sensation in London,
Writes S. w. Chambers in Wisconsin
Agriculturist. Our pears are far SUI
oerior to anything raised on the con-
tinent OF Europe, and EnglishMen APP
pear TO appreciate the fact. The Eng
fish are naturally as fond of pears as
they are of apples. and there is good
prospect of sending heavy consign-
nents OF pears to England every year.
California fruit growers opened this
market, and demonstrated to the coun-
try what organized effort could do. But
there is no reason why one part OF the
country should monopolize this trade.
According to the best advices obtain
able the Bartlett pear sells about as
well as any variety in England. They
bring from 5s to IS per case. Next to
them the Seckels are considered lus-
cious and desirable pear, and also the
Duchess. The fact is the same pears
that we raise for our own market sell
in England This may be due partial
ly to the fact that most of the pears
will not thrive we'll in England or on
the continent. Either the climate or
soil is against their doing well. But
the English gardeners raise some very
fine varieties OF pears in the espalier
form, but these hardly ever find their
way into the general market. Among
these we find many familiar varieties,
such as the Duchess. Vicar. Clairgeau
and Eastern Beurre There is such
limited space in the English gardens
for pears that the annual crop is COM
paratively small. The question OF ex-
porting pears to England is now re-
ceiving the attention of Eastern ship
pers, who anticipate a good trade In
the near future. The consignments
sent over have been in refrigerators,
but as this is too expensive method
some other will have to be adopted. 1t
is proposed to wrap the choice pears
in paper, and to pack them in barrels
through which the air can circulate
freely. If this method proves a sue
cess, we will soon expect to see our
pear exports creeping up on our al
ready enormous shipments of apples

of her situation, yet nor wanting in

an object we'll worthy of gaze and ad-
miration. Her features thrown into
broad light and shade by the candle,
which at times was half extinguished
by the wind-her symmetry of form
and the gracefulness and singularity
of her attire-were matters of aston
ishment to Philip. Her head was
without covering, and her long hair
fell in plaits behind her shoulders; her
stature was rather under the middle
size, but her form perfect; her dress
was simple but becoming, and very
different from that usually worn by
the young women of the district. Not
only her features but her dress would
at once have indicated to a traveller
that she was of Arab blood, as was
the fact.
She looked in Philips face as he
spoke-earnestly, as If she would have
penetrated into his most Utmost
thoughts; but there was a frankness
and honesty in his bearing. and sim
certify in his manly countenance, which
treasured her. After a moments hest
tation she replied:

you"
Philip entered. The door was then
closed and made secure.

Happy Mark Twain,

Few items of news from the other
side of the Atlantic are more likely
to please American readers than the
tidings that Mr.. Clemens mark Twain
is no longer in financial straits. 1t is
we'll known that some years ago the
failure of a publishing house in which
he was partner left him saddled with
heavy obligations. He undertook to
pay his debts and regain a competence
by work more speedily lucrative than
the production of books. He signed a
contract to lecture, and, notwithstand-
ing occasional attacks of illhealth, he
has fulfilled his agreement, in the
course Of which he has made a tour
around a large part of the globe. We
are now told that his lectures have
come TO an end, for the reason that
the profits already acquired will en-
able him to restrict himself hence
forth to writing. This means that we
may soon look for new book from
the pen of the author of "Innocents
Abroad. Golfers Weekly.

"No-upon my hopes of future bliss

The easement closed, and in short
time a light appeared above. In min
ute or two more the door was opened
to Philip by the fair daughter OF Myn-
heer Poots. She stood with the
candle in her right hand, the color
in her cheeks varying-now flushing
red, and again deathly pale. Her left
hand was down by her side, and In 1t
she held a pistol half concealed. Philip
perceived this precaution on her part,
but took no notice of it; he wished to
reassure her.

Selling Farm Fertility.

In deciding what should be the SAL
able products of his farm, one of the
most important questions is whether
such sales will take a small or large
proportion of the fertility which is the
farmers best capital, says American
Cultivator. Most New England farm
ers have for years given up growing
wheat, though 1t is probable that those
who have turned their land to produce
ing tobacco or garden crops could now
produce wheat in larger crops than
they ever did before. But 1t would
take from the soil mineral elements
that they can better use in other WAYS.
Whether a farmer shall sell milk or
take off its cream and make It into but
ter, while using the skim-milk as food
for pigs, poultry or other animals. NAV
not depend wholly on the amount of
money the butter or the milk would
sell for, but upon the effect on soil fer
tility. The sale of butter removes
nothing of value from the soil. Nei-
Their, and for the same reason, does the
fattening of fully grown stock. But
in the growth OF any young animal,
and in the production Of milk, the most
valuable elements Of fertility in the
food are drawn upon. 1t was on the
light lands of England that had long
been pastured by mich cows that sup
piled London with milk, that soils first
gave out and would not grow grasses
as they psed to do, until guano was APP
piled. e was found afterwards that
phosphate of lime was what was most
needed, as II made the lands as pro-
ductive as the guano could do. OF all
our grains Indian corn takes least from

tirpate it. The fact that this plant rip
ems some of its pods early in the season
and long before crops are ripe, or even
before they are generally cut for hay,
renders it difficult pest to overcome.
The only ways of fighting it seem to
be, first, pulling it by hand when not
too thick; second, cutting down the
whole crop before any false fax can
have matured its seeds; third, the
much more rational treatment of
planting some hoed crops upon the
land the year after the fax is first dis
covered; fourth, summer-fallow till
June, then pillow up and seed with about
a bushel of wheat, which land, when
the grain is up, pasture with cattle and
pillow again in the fall, seeding heavily
with wheat.

Color and Food.

That the color of the plumage may
be deepened by the character of the
food is a question that has been dis
cussed pro and con by many, but for
the information of those interested it
may be stated that in 1870 Emile Por-
den, a Frenchman, opened an aviary in
Paris and made speciality of dealing
in canaries, says Miner and Farmer. He
had an enormous cage, which held
nearly q thousand of the feathered
songsters, whose combined warbling
must have been something terrific.
Strange to say, every bird was of a
deep red color, and the novelty of the
thing attracted attention. The French
man did not hesitate to show the
young birds in their natural feathers.
and the old ones gradually changing
their color from yellow to red, but he
refused to divulge how the change was
brought about. Red canaries became
the rage in Partisan society, and Por-
den was enabled to retire in a few
years with quite a respectable fortune.
In 1878 the old Frenchman died. but on
his death-bed he told how he had pro-
duced red canaries, which was simply
by seasoning their food very highly
with cayenne pepper just before and
during the Noting season. When the
plumage appears it is red, instead of
yellow. The health Of the bird is not
injured in the least unless too much
fact, it is improved. Breeders of brown
Leghorns. Partridge Cochins and other
breeds of fowls where a bright red
plumage is an object may probably
practice the method with advantage.
