Cuba's national lottery has started with a
rush All the tickets-S3O0000 worth-were sold
for the first drawing, and the government s
profits were 100000. Doubtless the government
is to be congratulated upon this addition to its
revenues. but must wish that it came from
a better source 1t should be thought beneath
the dignity of government to seek revenue in
gambling.

PLANTING OF TREES.

There are a number of reasons why
fall planting Of trees and vines is
best. First, nearly years growth Is
attained in excess of that which
would result were the planting de-
ferred until the following spring.
Second. trees can be purchased cheap
er in fall than in spring. Third, a
better assortment of varieties can be
secured, as well as better grade OF
trees, as in the fall large nursery
blocks are unbroken. Fourth, nur-
serymen have more time and can give
better and more prompt attention.
Fifth, there is more time to plant in
the fall than spring. and generally the

a very good and serviceable way TO

work, while the lime water Is still
hot, drop tea-cup full of soft boiled
rice, and mix it thoroughly through
the mass. Then pour into a quart
pot of cold water, say ten or twelve
drops of crude carbolic acid. Mix
this into the rest, and swab the in
terror of your hen house with it. For
outside work, use rock salt dissolved
instead of boiled rice, and dispense
with carbolic acid. No other prepara-
