AZ Klnd q Thelr horses.

Evidently there is one place where
there is little need of a society for
the prevention Of cruelty TO animals.
and that is Jersey. The farmers there
are so careful of their horses that
they do not work them more than is
absolutely necessary, and frequently
do work which is done elsewhere by
horses.
II farmer has to plow heavy
piece of ground he is obliged to use
HIS team, but II the ground which is
to be broken up is light II Is very
probable that he will take the place
OF a horse.
At first glance labor OF this kind
may seem very lrkHome, but II really
is not, for the farms IN Jersey are
small and 1t does not take long to
cultivate the ground SIN, In other
places where the farms are equally
small, no one thinks Of sparing the
horses, and there is little doubt that
up-to-date agrieultuFists consider tho
Jersey farmers far behind the times
because in the kindness oe their
hearts they are as lenient to their
horses as possible.

It would seem that the mantle Of the
illustrious Jenny Lind, who was known
as the Swedish Nightingale, has fallen
upon her granddaughter. Miss Gwen

ton OF the songs by the masters has
won the admiration of the critics of
Europe. Jenny Lind left one daugh.

OF charming songs. It appears that

Paraguay ls About 70 Engage In tho
Culture on Large Scale.
The recent advance In the price Of
cotton IN this country and In England
has stimulated the culture OF the. plant
I'd other countries, The possibility
that the cotton manufacturers Of the
world are facing the prospect OF a
dearth of raw material seems TO have
excited the people OF Paraguay Cot
ton grows wild in that country, and
the cultivated product, though diner
ent from ours, has a long and fine sta
pie.
AZ in Peru, the plant is a small tree
rather than little bush, and II lives
and produces for several years. Euro
pean manufacturers have reported
good results from It's use. The Para
guRyans. however, have never given
much attention TO Its cultivation.
The newspapers of Asuncion have
suddenly awakened to the opportuni-
ties presented, and have risen to the
occasion. They are offering many sug-
gestions to the government and assert
that cotton win yet place Paraguay on
the high road to prosperity.
They ask the government to employ
the services Of men of science, like
DR.. Bertoni, to prepare pamphlets for
distribution in the cotton trade Of
Great Britain. France and Germany,
descriptive of the nature and qualities
Of Psraguayan cotton and the facili-
ties for producing large supplies Of It,.
They ask that DR.. Bertoni, Mr.. Artists
and other experts be engaged to make
a survey Of the lands adapted to cot
ton cultivation in the republic; also
that the government print and distrib-
ute among the farmers of the lowlands
the best information as to the methods
of cotton-raising.
