AGRICULTURAL. rones of interest relative TO FARM AND GARDEN. BALIXG HAT AKd'.STBA'TVV The importance of Living h&j and straw baled for shipping long distances is now well understood. But -with the improved baling machines operated by steam power, there may often bo an, ad vantage in baling hay and straw for use on the farm. In this compact form it takes so little room that more is left un .ler cover for stock and for sheltering farm implements,. now often .left out of doors until the barn is sufficiently cleared to givethem room. For home use these need not be so expensive or close bind ing, as the compress bound, however slightly, would not come undone with ordinary hand ling on the farm. Many farmers who sell hay and : straw put it up in bales, and find advantage in it when they have to draw it eight or ten miles. They can easily double their loads, and the bales can often be sold separately to those not having money or room for full load. . . -. . EARLY-BEAR ISG GRAPES. Grape vines of two, three or more years aid are- often bought with the idea , that they will tome earlier into bearing than tho younger and of moderate size. There are so many branches, each with several buds capable of producing a shoot for the coming "year, that the planter .supposes himself to have a sure thing on grapes if he 'can make the vine live. But with .a top disproportioned in size to the root, as such a vine is sure to be, there suit i always most unsatisfactory. Each bud will start, it is true; but "the sap divided among so many shoots gives each only a feeble growth. If there are blos som germs hidden in the buds, they will blast either before or after blossoming, and produce no fruit. In fact, an old, overgrown vine will not so soon get into bearing, thus treated, as will the smallest yearling vine from which only one shoot is allowed to push the first year, and which is cut back to one or at most two buds the second season. Thus concen trated, the sap makes a strong cane, capa ble of supporting two or - three clusters of grape?, and the year after becoming the trunk, from which large numbers of shoots, each with its burdeu of clusters, may be borne. A vine thus treated is much less liable to disease than one ne- jliecieu in iiruuiugr. irjiug iu grow lOO many bunches is a frequent cause of mil dew, and even if this is not the case, the bunches arc small, and weight of fruit less than it would be with ; closer prun ing and fewer bunches. American Cul ticafor. RESTING THE LAND. It is true sometimes, as illustrated bv the fable of the boy who grasped a full handful of nuts in a narrow-necked jar and could not withdraw his hand until he had let go the greater part; of them, tHat men fail in their eager efforts to get t.o much out of their land. -Constant cropping is now commonly advocated as the met useful and profitable method of growing crops. It is a reasonable out growth of the present restless spirit of the times which cannot Wait for the results with any patience, but tries to gather fruits before they are ripe. To rest the, land was a principle of agriculture en- loreeu Dy ."Moses, sustained by every ancient writer upon agriculture, and in sisted upon by the best farmers until within a score of years ago. Its purpose is to gain strength and renewed fertility for the soil, and its effectiveness has been proved by practice beyond any question. Its effects are to clean the land of parasites gathered during the previous rotation of crops and both animal and vegetable in kind weeds and insects are both destroyed by it and some troublesome quadrupeds are also got rid of, such' as moles, mice, etc. It is a .serious question if at this ttme, when the great burden of agriculture is the too small produce raised - on too great space of land, it would not be most profitable to summer fallow a field or two every year and so increase the fertility and pro ductiveness of the soil. JS'ete York I linCS. COLT EDUCATION". If their trainers. would handle the colts as kindly and -carefully as educators arc supposed to treat their' human pupils, balky, skittish and runaway horses would be a rarity. Begin by fondling the animal daily for a few days and giving him a handful of grain each time. He should then be placed in a roomy box stall or on the barn floor, and a girth buckled around him, and be shown the headstall and allowed to smell of it. This is exercise enough for the first day. Every subsequent day an additional piece of harness can be added and put in position on the ' colt, and finally the harness entire, but he should be shown every piece and allowed to become acquainted with it. At this stage of in struction he should be made acquainted with most things which are liable to frighten horses. A. newspaper can be folded and un folded and kicked about on the floor in front of him, and his face be rubbed with it. In like manner a white sheet, blanket, robe, sticks and tones can be used, remembering that all articles he be comes acquainted with now will not frighten him afterward. -He should now bp driven about with the harness on and taught to gee, haw, stop, back, turn around and go on. Long rope traces, with a spreader far in the rear, can now be added, and day by day additional weights attached for him to draw. He can then be hitched to a .training cart and driven. If none is at hand one can Imj made of two old wagon wheels and their axle. The next step is to harness him in a team with some gentle horse, and after a few drives his education will be complete.

No one so fully appreciates the value of small fruits as the wife of a farmer, who has a household to supply with food of sufficient variety to keep monotony at bay from the daily bill of fare. Still, with a garden well stocked with small fruits, farmers' families ought never to complain of monotony in the bill of fare. Nothing is is more healthful than fruit, and by the easy and cheap process -of canning wc can have it the whole year through in such delicacy and naturalness of flavor 'as to be almost equal to fresh fruit. I am glad to note that the old method of preserving is going out of fashion. On a small plot of ground enough, fruit an be grown, if proper care is given, to upply a family of ordinary size three times a day tne year mrougn. a am aware that this statement may seem a ratbet broad one. but those who have a 'little garden, el1 tiUedV' will bear me out in the assertion. It is surprising to those who have had no experience in this line to find out how much can be grown on a very small piece of ground if proper at tention is given. It does not require such an amount as one often imagines it must because the regular use of it on the table'has a tendency to prevent as great indulgence in it as would -naturally be the case were it used only as a delicacy-; brought out on extra occasions. Used regularly it becomes a sort of appetizer, and really acts as a tonic of the best kind.' Its pleasant acid tones up the sys tem and whets the appetite for a keener appreciation of more solid food. It is : a direct aid to digestion, and those who eat of it regularly are seldom troubled with those ailments which call for pills and physic The fruit eater is seldom billious. i -:" By all means set out plenty of small fruit. Have a row of currants, a bed of strawberries, raspberries along the fence and "rapes wherever a support can be arranged for them. . If you have never -tried "your hand at small fruit culture make up yur mind to experiment with it, and the chances are if you take care of the "venture" with which you start out you will be so well pleased with your success that in a year or two you will "branch out" until you have all the fruit your family requires. It is just as easy to care' for a garden of this kind as it is to properly cultivate afield of corn." But most farmers have got the idea into their, heads that it is puttering work, and nothinwill get this idea out of their heads except a trial, which will be sure thmrri that no other nart of .

One of the principal advantages in seeding grass in the spring is that the danger of winter killing is largely avoided. While grass plants will stand considerable freezing after they get well established, they are easily killed when young and tender. Grass seed if of good quality will remain in the soil for some time without starting to grow when the conditions of germination are unfavor able, and later on, under more favorable conditions they will start up and make a good growth. To say which is the best under all conditions is impossible. In some localities fall seeding proves the best, and in others spring seeding has been found to be the best.A Again . even in the same locality a difference in the season will make considerable difference in the termination of the seed and the growth of the plants, sown in the fall the work If -the seed i3 should be done sufficiently early to allow the plants an opportunity to get well 'established be fore cold weather sets in, and if this from unfavorable weather or other conditions cannot be done the better plan is to de fer until spring. So far as possible spring seeding should be done early, for while occasionally late sowing makes a good stand, taking one year with another, the safest plan is to make all the preparations possible ahead and then sow the seed, early. In what may be termed ,a reasonably favorable season grass seed can often be sown in February. Even if it does not germi nate at once, the seed will be in the ground ready to germinate and start to grow whenever the weather is sufficiently favorable. One of the best times to sow grass seed when the soil has been properly prepared in advance is after a light fall of snow. Another good time is when there has been a slight freeze and the soil is thaw ing out ; the weight of jthe seed will usually be sufficient to bury it deep enough to germinate. If for any . reason the seeding is delayed until late usually the better plan will be to cover with a har row or brush. j Grass and clover should be the first crops seeded in the spring, and when it can be done, advantage should be taken of the first favorable opportunity for doing the work. Farm, Field and Stochnan. FARM AND. GARDEN! NOTES. - i Begin to plan for a garden. Care well for your live stock. Unprofitable using green fuel. . Waste no forage that is feedable. Let no animal go cold, or hungry. Raw meat for sicklyT-weak fowls. .." Cut cornstalks and straw for feed. Keep store pigs in good condition. How as to fresh eggs and broilers? Warm, dry quarters for the poultry. ,. Only maximum crops are remunera tive. . .' j Don't crowd the fowls too closely in their quarters. J Intelligent industry is the ruling force in successful agriculture. Permit no smoking about the barn, haystacks, or strawstacks. j The best cure for a fence-breaking animal is administered by the butcher. There is no profit in rearing or keep ing cattle, except in good I feeding in all seasons oi tne year. v Good roads mean thrift, liberality and wealth, fhey mean crood farms and good real estate values. f Wherever there is a wide-awake farm ers club there is likely to be a prosper ous agricultural community. Return to the soil an amount of fertil izing material larger than , that taken from it by the growth of the crop. gome one who is evidently a shrewd observer declares that poor farming and poor horses go hand in hand-that, like birds of a feather," they i"5ock togeth er." . -: ' I The nicest tool to use in . a horse stable, after pitching out J most of the litter with the fork, is a common garden rake. One can work much easier and faster with this than with a hoe. ' A milking stool long enough to sit on and also hold the pail, thd end for the pail only half as high as the seat, ia a convenience. The pail (will not get soiled, and is not so likely to be upset. , Too many farmers have! got into the habit of going to the store when they want anything especially j nice for .-the table. The well-managed garden should give the farmer through the aummer more delicacies than are possible with those who reiy upon city markets. -Those who breed poultry on quite a large scale, whether on a farm or la a regale poultry yard, will find a eood in cubator an almost indispensable ad land in rearing large numbers of extra eirl chicks to secure the early sales and thfl big pnees obtained for the first brollcri. A Tiger and Alligator ri-Lt. "A. small party were on ' a trip through the Sonderbuns,-India. It was a hot, sultry day; in fact, a regular griller. A they went on in their boat they had ob served during the morning a large num ber of alligators asleep on the shore. Ae the day rose higher, the numbers gradu ally decreased, till at length only one or two solitary ones were to be seen." The tide turned, and the party anchored out in the stream, there being too little watei to' come close in. The shore for some; distance was sandy and bare, but aboul "a mile in the interior - the thick i'unglt reared its myriad boughs to a cloudless 3ky. Opposite where they were one huge alligator, stretching out its scaly length, on the sands, lay fast asleep. They had observed it for some time, when one of the party, touching his friend's hand, pointed to the jungle. Slowly issuing from the close brushwood was seen an immense tiger. Softly and with silent steps it advanced, raised up one foot, poised it some time in the air, then, quietly lowering it, raised the oth er, crouching till its body nearly touched the ground.- In this way it advanced, exactly as a cat when , stealing upon a mouse. ,' Having : come to. within its bounding distance, it rose, lifted its tail and then, lashing it on ground, leapt. The next second it was on the alligator's back, and holding on by the napeof the neck. .The monster of the deep, thus rudely shaken from his midday slumber, opened his terrific jaws, and tried to seize the tiger in vain. It then employed its sawlike tail, and lashed the sides of the forest denizen, but still the tiger held on. The contest thus kept on some time. At length the efforts of the alligator became weaker and weaker, till at last they ceased altogether.. Still the tiger held on. After some time he let go his hold, got off the brute's back, and seizing it by the body dragged it some distance on the shore, and there sat over it exactly as a cat does over a mouse. For a while it 5at thus, then, rising, dragged, it into the jungle. But the strangest part is yet be hind. About an hour after this what mould be seen but the poor alligator srawling toward the water much lacera ted but not killed, a proof that the tiger loes not kill simply because he is hungry. ---London Globe. Museum Curios. y I see by a Chicago dispatch, says Al fred Trumble in the New York Item. that one of the Cronin murderers, whe pending a new trial 'is out on bail, ii making hay while the sun shines as t museum freak. Once it was a question oi finding some monstrosity curious enough to serve for a freak. - Now anything: an swers the purpose. A couple of week ago in a West side museum I saw a wild looking man sitting near a door. I. took him for an attendant and asked him a question. 4I don't know," he replied, 'I ain't a regular with this show. I'm the man that killed the dog. And then it came out that this hero had annihi lated a dog" suspected of hydrophobia over on Eleventh avenue, and was getting a dollar a day for his heroism from the liberal management. At another museum in the same section of the town a solemn fat man, with a face that looked like a scalded calf's head in a butcher's shop window, sat in an arm chair and did nothing but doze. ' 'What is he ?" 1 . asked the gentlemanly expounder. The hydrophobia man," was the reply. "He ain't drunk no water since 1861, not a drop." "What does he drink?" "Why, milk and beer." It struck me at the moment that there must be a good many men in New York who would be eligible to dime museum - honors on this, same basis, and would accept a 1 similar con tract to the somnolescent fat person'j with alacrity, not to say enthusiasm. Curious Jealousy. Although jealousy is the most unrea Sonable of passions, few persons fear th rivalry of creatures far beneath them in the scale of being. It would be possible, one would think, to be jealous of a man. but not of a donkey. T. A. Trollop writes: "We took, one morning, a little excursion to Tusculum, on which nry wife rode a donkey belonging to a very competent guide. This man knew every point where it was desirable to draw rein in order to enjoy the lovely anc varied views. The donkey, who, no doubt, knew all these halting places as well' as his master, once turned aside from. the path, in a very business-lik( fashion, and planted himself before a gate from which av specially pleasing out look was to be seen. My wife, thinking to please the man, said : now well youi donkey knows his business. He came of himself to this lovely view, just as if he enjoyed it.' But the effect of her words was very startling. The man be came suddenly and furiously angry. No, not he ! I I know how to make ladies nd gentlemen see the views, and all that is to be seen. He ! he is an ass and knows nothing. I I am the guide!' he cried again and again. 'The beast is an ass, I tell you! He knows nothing!' In 3hort, he was furiously jealous of his donkey, and bitterly resented the com pliments paid the beast's sagacity as so much taken from his own praises." Where the Ban Go. Housewives must often have wondered where the rags go to after they pass intc the wagon of any one of the several hun dred ragmen who paw through the alleyt with their monotonous cries. These gatherers of old ragi take them to ware houses where they are bought in bulk, and then assorted by girts according tc quality. There was a time when most of the rags were sent to paper mills." Now a very small proportion of rags an made into paper, straw and clay beinc the chief ingredients. Fine linen paper, to called, is made of rag. Ninety pei , cent, of the rags collected, however, gc into the manufactured of shoddy," oi which cheap ready-made clothing is manufactured. Thii itufj i now made up into the brightest and tnot attractive patterns, andean only be told, when new .from wool bj the expert, nnd by experi ence with the wearer.

The weight of earth worms bring to the surface yearly is enormous. Darwin esti mated that worms, by swallowing earth for the sake of the vegetable matter it contains and forming castings, bring to the surface as much as ten tons of earth per annum on an acre. Worms are great promoters of vegetation by boring, per forating and loosening the soil, ajid ren dering it uervious to rains and the fibres Pof plants, by drawing straws and stalks oi leaves and twigs into it, and, most of all, by throwing up such infinite numbers of lumps of earth called worm casts, which form a fine manure for grain and grass. The earth without worms would soon become cold, hard-bound, void of fermentation and . consequently sterile ; this has occurred in many cases where the "worms have been either accidentally or intentionally destroyed, and the fertility of the soil thus lost has only been re stored when the worms had again col lected andfresumed their fertilizing work. A New Cure for Hydrophobia. The story which comes from Peru to the effect that a man suffering from hy drophobia has been cured by accidentally swallowing the juice of a plant called "wagney" j or "peuca," needs onlyf the verification" of further experiments with this drug in order to become one of the most important discoveries in many years. The general disturbance caused by the fearFof hydrophobia would make the discovery of an unquestioned and ac cessible specific for this horrible form of madness a matter of the very highest im portance. pPasteur's method of inocula tion is complicated, costly, and unavaila ble in many cases, and the distinguished French scientist does not claim to be able to cure hydrophobia after it assumes a violent form. His method of preventing rabies would arouse little public interest after it became generally known that a plant was to be had in Peru which did awav with all need of inoculation. The: Alexandria Library. f. ' - : A Vienna journal says that the story of the burning of the Alexandria library by the Mohammedan conqueror is a myth", and not an historical fact. The state ment thus appears: "The investigation of the famous Fayum collection of Egyp tian manuscripts, bought by Archduke Rainer, and deposited in the Imperial Library, Vienna, has been progressing for some two or three years. The work has been rich in( important results, including the discovery, by mconirovertujie evi dence, that the story of the destruction of the Alexandria uorary is a table." 82,500 lieward for a Lost Cat.
