The A, IJ, I, or Agriculture.
Farming as a business is not
what it has been in the past. It
requires much more intelligence
and skill to farm successfully now
than it did formerly and for a va
riety of reasons.
Our wants have increased. The
luxuries of our fathers have become
everyday necessities for comfort.
We feel that we must live better,
dress better, go more, work fewer
hours, and we require more in the
way of mental improvement, accom
plishments, and the like. This is
as it should be. The farmers should
have and should enjoy all that is
within the i each of the merchant
or professional man ; he is even en
titled to more than the town resi
dent to make up for the isolation
of life on tho farm.
The tact that country people do
not have the advantages of the
town people, that farming at the
present time does not hold out such
strong inducements to young men
1 as other occupations, uot only pre
vents the Ujwnbred boy from be
I coming a farmer, but it also draws
! a large proportion of the brightest
J and smartest boys from the country
to the town, and we have as the
J result a much larger number of the
I naturally gifted, shrewd men of the
country engaged in manuiactures,
transportation, trading, etc., than
we find farming, and it naturally
follows that the smarter men secure
the larger share of the proceeds of
the industries.
Another disadvantage that t lie
farmer labors under the outcome
of greater ability possessed by men
in other industries is the facf
, that improvement in methods ot
' manufacture, trade, transportation,
' n il iofr,Knfinn o Vv An r n r t
much more rapid than in farming.
These industries are growing away
from the production of farm crops.
During the past fifty years the
power of one man to turn raw pro
ducts into manufactured goods and
distribute them to consumers,
through the introduction of im
proved machinery and application
of scientific discoveries, has in
creased from five to one hundred
or more times. We have made no
such advance in growing crops. It
is true the mtroduction of large im
plements, aDd the binder and
header, has increased the capacity
of one man ten fold in growing and
harvesting wheat, and having ma
chinery to nearly as great an extent
in making hay; but we have only
increased a man's capacity two or
three fold in making corn, while in
cotton growing it is probable that,
on the average, one man really
produces less; or at least, no more
than he did thirty years ago.
Thera is still another factor that
is detrimental to the interests of
! the farmer, and that is the exhaus
tion of the virgin fertility of the
; soil. Except in portions of the
: older settled States, np to the pres
I exit time, farming has been largely
of the pioneer order, which means
clearing up the land, and cropping
: it in such a way as to produce a
crop with the least labor, regard
! less of the exhaustion and loss of
the fertility of the soil, compelling
us now to adopt some system of
fertilization, that is necessarily ex
pensive, to make the 1 uid produce
as mucli as it did formerly.
So much is said and written at
the present time about monoplies
and unjust laws which are oppres
sing the farmer, that many are led
to believe that the condition ot the
farmer may be im Droved simply by j
' legislation. Wbilr there may be I
some injustice done by powerltil
corporations anil law makers, still
we must study the underlying prin
ciples of agriculture and its con
nection with other industries, and
' raise it to a par with those pursuits,
before the farmer caD secure a just
compensation for his labor.
It is the purpose of the writer to
present some thoaghts on what
may be called the principles under
lying successful agriculture; and
he will endeavor to show that
farming may be pursued as success
fully as the other occupations, if
the work is conducted in the proper
manner.

Peculiarities of Euglish Life.
Some interesting characteristics
of English life are presented in the
letter of our special correspondent,
E. A. 11. They all bear witness to
,, ,. . . . ,
V " ,uou, v. ufcLian.
An ancient and fairly homogeneous j
people, rneir customs are tneir own,
being founded on their experience
and conclusions therefrom. They
retain, for example, the custom of
morniDg weddings, despite the re
peal of tho old law. They retain
also the House of Lords an abso
lute anomaly in a democratic govern
ment. Our correspondent calls
attention, however, to a fact often
overlooked, namely, that to what
ever extent democratic institutions
prevail in lonn in England the
organization ot society is still de
cidedly aristocratic. This does not
prevent but rather facilitates the
disciplining of disputable peers,
such as the Marquis of Ailesbury.
Very interesting are the views of
the venerable Cardinal ManniDg
in respect
lu uiu lusii quesLiuM.
In the
provinces, he thinks the
cause ol
home rule is constantlv
gaining strength, if not In the cities.
Proper and just land laws, he holds,
will contribute to the tranquiliza-
tiorl of Ireland. Yet he does not
favor an independent sovereign j
Parliament for that country, but a
subordinate body empowered to
deal with local matters only. It
will surprise many people to learn !
that, despite the continuance of
the monarchy, personal liberty in ;
England is better guarded than iu
any other countr.v. Such at least, j
it appears, is the 'animal's opiu-1
ion, and most Englishmen hold
sturdily to the same view. Balti

But, unconsciously to himself, the

A bird on the wing is a striking
example of sustained muscular

yet his muscles continue to act, till

Astounding as is the velocity of
the muscles of the human tongue
it is a tortoise's force in comparison
with the velocity of a gnats wings.
Its hum varies with the rapidity of
its wings' vibrations, and their rate
can be ascertained from the pitch

To Cure a Kicker.
The Calistogian gives this pre
scription its warmest indorsement :
It' you have a horse that is in the
habit ot" kicking, put him in a nar
row stall that has both sides thickly
padded. Suspend a sack filled with
hay or straw so that it will sti ike
his heels, and let tho horse and
sack fight it out. Be sure to have
things arranged so that the horse
cannot hurt himself. The sack will
be victorious every time, and in the
end the horse will absolutely refuse
to kick t he sack or anything else.

She Knew ln Whom She Trusted.
Annie waa a plain woman, almost
ugly, not clever nor cultured, nor
rich in worldly goods; but hosts of
friends gathered about her as she
passed into an old age, and all hart
and ailing and sorrowful folk who
knew her came to her comfort and
i cheer. She never failed them.
j She always had a courageous, ten
der word for each person. Poverty
; came to her at last, and a painful
and incurable disease. She went
through sickness and privation, to
'meet death, with the same high
heart and happy temper that she
had in her younger and compara
tively more prosperous days. The

occasion.
"I am old enough to know in

Astride a Wild Boar.
Wild boar hunting in India is
exciting sport, as is proved by many
adventurous incidents. The follow
ing true incident certainly partook
of the unique and adventurous. It
ocenred in August, 1871, at a place
near Nagpore called Warree. A
large boar was started, and man
aged to reach a patcbof "sindee," a
sort of low-growing prickly palm.
Here the sportsmen surrounded
him, waiting for the beaters to come
up. This they soon did, headed by
old Manajee, a famous hunter.
He forwith waxed valiant, and
picking up some clods of earth, ad
vanced into an opening in the
bushes,and began his bombardment
of the pig's retreat.
A few discharges were sufficient
to bring his porcine majesty out,
and he charged straight at Manajee,
whom re promptly upset, catting
him on bis hand. That old gentle
man began forthwith to yell "blue
murder," only in Hindustani.
On hearing his cries, one of the
party named Going, an Englishman
of small size, jumped off his horse,
and ran on foot, spear in hand, to
Manajee s rescue. That old gentle
man promptly scrambled
out of the way, and the boar charged
Mr. Going, knocked bim over, and
began digging with his tasks at his
prostrate form. Luckily the Lng
lishman had on a pair of stout
English cords, and, though the boar
cut him several times on his thighs,
the wounds were not serious.
The fallen sportsmen made use of
his fist as his only weapons of de
fence, his spear having been knock
ed out of his hands, but, these being
of slight availagainst the boar's hard
head, he had the presence of mind
to seize the animal by the ears, and
scrambling np, jumped on his back!
The boar, astonished at this novel
burden, tried to retreat backwards
into the bushes, but a good dig from
his liderTrspurs dissuaded him, and,
in less time than it takes me to
write it, the rest of the party dis

There is a remarkably intelligent
dog in Oxford, owned by one of our
sportsmen. The animal is a setter.
He positively refuses to hunt birds
before October 15th, and no amount
of coaxing or whipping will induce
him to break the law. He was
taken in the field a few day ago but
the law abiding animal couldn't be
induced to "set'' a single bird.
Finally his master drew an alma
nac from his pocket, pointed out
October 18th with his finger, and
the dog, with a joyous bark, went
to work with an energy that ena
bled the sportsman to bring home
an overflowing game bag. Torch

largely used in Japan for building
purposes, the government of that
country desires to take such
measures as will be most likely to
prevent their destruction by
earthquaker, and to this end the
Japanese Minister oi Education has
requested recommendations from
various scientific bodies as to the
best type of edifice to resist the
shocks resulting from subterranean
disturbance. In former times wood
only was used as a material for the
construction of houses in Japan.
