inserts a poisonous sting. What pos- '

The power of judging of actual
danger, and the free and easy boldness 1
whieh results from it, are by no means
uncommon. Many birds seem to have
a most correet notion of a gun's range,
and while scrupulously careful to keep
beyoud it, confine tlieir care to this
caution, though the most obvious re
source would be to fly right away out
of sight, and hearing, which they do
not choose to do. And they sometimes
appear to make even an ostentatious
use ol their power, fairly putting their j
wit and cleverness in antagonism to
that of man, for the benefit of their
fellows. We lateh read an account i
by a naturalist in Brazil, of an expedi
tion he made to one of the islands of
the Amazon to shoot spoou-bills,
ibises, and other of the magnificent
gralfatorial birds, which are most
abundant there. —His design was com
pletely baffled, however, by a wretched
little sandpiper that preceded him,
continually uttering his tell-tale cry,
whieh at onee aroused all the birds
within hearing. Throughout the day
did this individual bird continue his
self-imposed duty of sentinel to others,
effectually preventing the approach ol
the fowler to the game, and yet manag
ing to keep out of the range of his gun.
Tlie Bahama I'lueapple.
A large proportion ot the area of the
Bshama Islands is devoted to the culti
vation of fruit, of which oranges and
pineapples are principal; and at the
present time the fields in the estates on
which the pineapples are growing form
a peculiar feature in the landscape.
The appearance of the broad expanse
of young fruit, with its clusters of deli
cately tinted, but slia-p and serrated
leaves, rising only a short distance from
the ground, and covering tlie undulat
ing fields, produces a very remarkable
effect. In 110 other branch of agricul
ture can so curious a picture be pro
duced as in the growth of these vast
numbers Of pines. As many as a mil
lion and a half of the fruit have been
collected from a single acre atone crop.
The appearance of these pineapples
estates has as little In common witli the
sugar plantations or paddy-fields of the
1 ropics as wim the corn fields or vine
lies of Kurope. In a short time these
pineapples will be making their ap
pearance ih the Foreign markets. They
are shipped In an unripe state, aud ma
ture during the voyage, ar.d hence are
not so excellent in quality as the fine
hot-house fruit, or as if they were
properly ripened in the ground. The
pineapples of New Providence, how
ever, are superior to any other variety,
and often attain an enormous size. One
grown In Pembrokeshire,weighing
lbs., and measured Kfj-g In, in height,
exclusive of stalk and crown, and 22 in
in circumference, was served up at the
coronation banquet of George IV., and
since then the improved modes of cul
tivation have greatly increased the size
and quality of the fruit. There is an
enormous demand for the Bahama
pineapples both in Europe and America
and a new Industry has lately sprung
up in the Island in preserving the fruit
u tins when they are fully ripened;
one lactoiy in Nassau alone exports an
nually a million tins, valued at £16.000.
These fruits are superior to those sent
away earlier in the season, as they are
ripened naturally and packed in per
fect condition, instead of being gather
ed when only half ripe.

AGRICULTURE.
HRMAWAV GRASS.— Comparatively
few tanners raise litis crop, though it is
very productive and excellent for most
kind of stock, If led in the proper man
ner. The time between sowing and
harvesting is shorter than tor any Held
erop raised on farms. It is useless -in
this latitude to sow it early in the sea
son. To produce a good crop the'en
tire growtk of the of ttie plant must
take place during very warm weajJier.
If sown at the same time oats are, the
plants will make a very slow growth,
and will remain stunted during the en
tire season. The trouble some farmers
have experienced with Hungarian hay
has arisen mainly from allowing the
grass to remain uncut till the-seed was
nearly or quite ripe. It should be har
vested as. soon as tlie seeds form and
before they have commenced to mature.
Another difficulty has arisen from the
amount of dust Hungarian grass often
contains. As it grows on laud that was
recently plowed aud harvested, and
oyer the surface ot which there Is no
sod, much dust is likely to be disturbed
in raking and pitching the hay. This
may be prevented very largely by cut
ting the grass quite high, and by gath
ering It when it is cured with a hand
rake instead of with a horse-rake. If
gathered In this way and pitched on
the cart when the ground 's moist with
dew nearly all the dust usually found
In Hungarian hay may be avoided.
SOWING ORCHARD GRASS —Orchard
grass Is very deservedly coming more
into cultivation every year, both North
and South, and it will perhaps benefit
some to be told how to sow it. it
should always be mixed with clover
seed. To mix the seed properly, put
down upon a floor half bushel of or
chard grass seed, and scatter over that
one quart of clover seed; repeat uutil
you get astout pile say four or five
bushels. Then mix thoroughly; spread
; out upon the flour, aud sprinkle water
upon the pile stirring all the time until
quite wet, then mix in plaster or dry
ashes, or even bran, until sufficiently
dry to separate when thrown Irom the
hand. Throw it in bulk till next morn
ing, when H is ready for sowing.
Taken through this process it can be
' sown with as much regularity as wheat,
regardless of ordinary winds. If it re
mains in bulk more than one nignt in
warm weather, it will heat, and must
be opened. Except for meadows or
standing pastures, orchard gntss is too
expensive. For the ordinary shifts, it
is better to use clover seed alone, as or
chard grass does not do its best under
two or three year*, when, if the land
is good, it will have made a sod that
will resist the action of Uie feet ot the
stock in wet weather.
REPAIRS IN ROADS AND PATHS. —It
should be remembered that the worst
spot in a piece of road, whether public
or private way, measures the capacity
of the team for hauling loads over it,
or in other words, a team can draw be
tween two given points onl> what it
can draw over the hardest spot, wheth
er it be a steep hill or a muddy slough
hole, no matter how perlect the other
portion? of the way may be. Any man
would We con-idered a tool who should
keep a good pair of horses for hauling
loads and then persist in using them on
a one-horse wagon, drawing but a halt
load at a time, and yet that is just what
we are all doing, w no year after year
haul manure, farm products or mer
chandise over roads that, by the ex
penditure of a small amount of labor,
wouid enable us to haul double the
weight we now draw. April is often
times a good month for making repairs
in roads and paihs.
How TO MANAGE A YOUNG BULL
Vo make a first class animal lie should
run with the cow till he Is six months
old at least. If weaned earlier, feed
on new milk just from the cow three
times a day till he Is six months old,
then twice a day till eight months, then
once a day for a month or so longer.
At an early day, say a month old, give
him a little fine hay to pull at, and later
let him have some oatmeal, a little oil
cake, vegetables, ete., iutr. adng tlie
rations gradually as he grows older,
Weaning from milk should be grad
ual and in pasture time. Ring his nose
at eight months and handle him from
that time on daily. After he is wean
ed, feed as you would other cattle to
keep them in the best condition. Do
not handle the ring after it is put in
until the wound is entirely healed, and
rub on his nose some mutton tallow
twice a day.

A DISCOVERT ABOUT CORN.— An ex
change tells of a man who plants, two
or three weeks after the crop is planted,
a new hill of corn every fifteenth row,
each way. And this is the reason: If
the weather becomes dry after the fill
ing time,the silk and tassels both become
dry and dead. In this condition, if it
should become seasonable, the silk re
vives and renews its growth,but the tas
sels do not recover. Then for want ot
pollen, the new silk is unable to till the
office for which it was designed. The
pollen from the replanted corn is then
ready to supply silk, and the filling is
completed. He says nearly all the abor
tive ears so common in con: crops, are
caused by the want of pollen, and he has
known ears to double their siz? in this
filling.
IT is said that six bushels of peas are
equal to ten bushels of corn for fatten
ing hogs, and that peas yield a larger
number of bushels per acre than corn.
EXPERIMENT shows that with Early
Rose potatoes the smallest amount of
seed in the hill yields the best crop.

—INTOXICATING liquors produce di
arrhoea or constipation, and a torpid
condition of the liver,resulting in gen

To overcome this prostration, appeal is
again made to the liquor as a stimulant,
only to increase the gastric disturbance.
The judicious application of such a
tonic as Simmons' Liver .Regulator
would strike at the very root of the evil
by correcting the condition of the liver,
exciting the bowels to action, or cor
recting their looseness, stimulating the
