GARDEN HINTS

Many Jersey farmers have given up
elephants because they fail to get
good, healthy growth. With many the
plants begin to die as soon as they are
set out and keep dying through the
season.
Some gardeners grow an early pea
crop between tomatoes, cantaloupes,
melons, corn, etc, as much to protect
them as for the profit in the crop itself.
Latest celery may still be set and the
entire crop handled as the plants be-
come large enough.
Professor Green Of Minnesota says
If plants are going to make good onions
they will become weak in the neck just
above the bulb when nearly grown
and will fall fat on the ground, where
they should be allowed TO lie until the
roots and tops are entirely dried. Theu

In the year 17G6 Lord Give ans
Mr. Verelst employed the whole In
fluence Of the English government to
restore a Hlndoo to his caste who has
forfeited it. not by any neglect Of
his own, but by having been compelled!
by most objectionable act Of VIC
lence to swallow a drop Of COW broth
The Brahmans, from the peculiar cir.
cumstances of the case, were very
anxious to comply with the wishes Of
the government. The principal m, j..
among them met at Kishnagur an3
once at Calcutta, but after consulta.
tons and an examination of their most
ancient records they declared TO Lord
Give that there was no precedent to
justify the act. They found it i'm
possible to restore the unfortunate man
to his caste, and he died soon after

ROAD DRAG.

Farmer presents the design herewith.
1t is much like the land graders used
by irrigation farmers in Colorado for
bringing the land to plain surface.
Instead of the split logs use two pieces
, by - inches and nine feet long. Be
tween these place two y braces made
of > by S stuff and of such length as
will fix the distance between the = by
12s at thirty inches. These y braces
are halved, as represented. Long
fve-eighths inch eyebolts are passed
through the by lbs. The eyes are
used for attaching the chains Blocks
and washers should be placed under
the nuts at the rear ends of the eye
bolts. \ twelve inch plank should be
placed on the drag. The driver will
stand on this plank in such 4 position
as may be required by the work. The
planks are provided with Il cutting
edge of steel. This may be three inches
wide.

woIseIey's Opinion of the Chinese

n OptHtOh tne Chinese.
1t was Lord Wolseley who regarded
the Chinese as the greatest race in the
world. His opinion was formed about
1850, when<he was in China. and he
never rendhhced it. He said to rep
resentative of the Strand Magazine;
The Chinese people possess all tho
elements of being great people. They
have courage, physical power and alb
solute contempt for death. Today in
that country soldering is looked dowL
upon. Only the failures in life enter
the army. Let n Bismarck or a Ma.
poleon rise up among them, ana in two
generations they would be the greatest
nation and conQuering power in the
world. They only need leader. Give
them progress, and they will conquer.
Three hundred years ago they were
the head Of the world, but their growth
was stunted. China wants a modern
man with modern ambitions. Let their
leader come, and they must revive
again"

Women and MIrrors.

German statlsticians with no great
burden of serious work on their shoul.
ders have been calculating what part
of a woman's life is spent in looking
at herself in mirror. She begins, as
a rule, at six years. From six to ten
she has daily average of seven min.
utes From ten to fifteen she devotes
a quarter of an hour to her glass. AT
twenty she certainly spends thirty
minutes daily admiring herself and
when past twenty a whole hour. The
statisticians are tactful enough not tC
say when woman begins to take less
interest in her personal appearance,
but women more than sixty years old
do not, they say, spend more than ten
minutes daily at their mirrors. All
this time reckoned up-it is a simple
sum in multiplication-makes 1000
hours, or about ten months, at the mir
ror They then proceed to compare
the time which mana German man
..devotes to this occupation and come
to the conclusion that his average Is
seven months.

to the little craft in making the trip.
No dynamite was used by the explors
