Banana Crop Every Fifteen pav.

Banana Crop Every Fifteen Days.
Mexican Herald: There la evidently
an idea abroad concerning
the harvesting Of the banana CROP"
said Edward M. Watson, who has been
for seven years on q plantation In Hon
duras.
The statement that four or Ave crops
of bananas are harvested a year is en-
tirely incorrect. A crop is harvested on
an average Of every fifteen days
throughout the 9 Each thrifty
banana plant has many suckers or
stalks growing from a single root at the
same time. One or more lunches Of
the ripening fruit are cut from a single
stalk. while the other stalks growing
from the same root are left untouched,
and In fifteen days another Of the
stalks is shorn o fits fruit. This pro-
cess continues incessantly during the
year. On July and August 1t is necesl
sary to cut of the ripening punches
every ten days, while In December and
January about once a month is sum-
cient. the average throughout the yeay

The Horse Has Always
Been War1ike Animal
outs Glohe-Democrat.

From the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Most people have heard discussions as
to whether mankind first drove horses, or
mounted them, after they had captured
and reduced them from their wild state.
The poet Laurentius, who lived some years
before our era, thinks that for an armed
man to mount a horse and guide it to fight
by the bride was a much more ancient
way thar to harness the animal to a
chariot.
But, SO far as human knowledge goes,
the horse was always in use-a warlike
animal, fast and brave, both in harness
and under the saddle
The Southwestern Asiatics took early to
driving at first, probably in rude carts;
put the Assyrian chariots were strong,
Hght, elegant and m~etal-bound."
Inc Greeks Of the Homeric times did
not ride much or have many horses and
mostly drove those they had, as they had
seen their nearest Asiatic n%eighbors do.
70 the Turks and Mongols, while still
living in their native place, the great
steppe OF Asia, must be given the credit
or first capturing the swift, single-hoofed
animal, also native to their plains, and
learning to mount him for use in hunting
and In war. When the Turki tribes first
invaded the west, they were ho%rseriding
people,.
Inc old historians say that they were

tney could not walk without stumbling,
and ate, drank and held council in the
saddle"
"A great modern authority, Professor
Hehn, says that the steppe of Asia was
the birthplace of the horse, and the yell
low sons Of the steppe tanned the animal,
and succeeding in that, founded their
whole life upon 1t. and when they rode
TO the west, they could only Destroy"
In many cavalry combats, we hear of
more damage done by the weight Of the
horses than by the weapons of the riders.
Wild horses often fight with their teeth
as well as their feet.
With all the improved facilities Of COM
munication by steam, war horses are still
so necessary that almost all the Euro
pean countries have state breeding farms
to insure a supply.
In France these were instituted by the
great Minister Colbert, in the reign of
Louis XIV, and were especially fostered
by the great Napoleon, who, in his cruel
ana often unnecessary wars, used up more
horses than any one in ancient or mod
ern times.
By this means Germany has a fine stock
OF horses, which made her mounted
troops especially the Uhlans, so formid-
able in her last wal with France.
me great strategist and organizer, Won
Moltke, estimates that, for active war
lare, there should be two horses for every
five men employed in the field.
During the last year of our civil war the
quartermaster generals report shows that
the consumption of horses and mules on
the northern side alone amounted to 500 a
day.
1t Is conceded by most writer's on the
subject that the only two great nations
which breed enough horses within their
OWN borders to meet all the exigencies
and destruction CT war, without drawing
from abroad. are the United States and
Russia.

Fatigue a Barometer to Health.
