?fany farmers do too much guessing
in their business ; trust too much to
luck, chance and the moon, and do too
little close figuring.
lo not feed breeding sows very large

condition, but it should be done by
more bulky or partially green food.
The following are said to be the
symptoms of hog cholera. Drooping
ears, low-hanging head, diarrhoea, vom

light.
Permanent pasture lands are the main
anchor of agriculture, and the farmers
of this country will find this out after
awhile, as they already have in Eng
land, and will commence seeding their
land with permanent grasses.
Vegetables and fruits, as well as the
grain crops, require deep working of
the soil. A moderately heavy soil that
has been underdrainei and subsoiled
and then carefully worfced is capable of
producing the heaviest crops.
In these times of cheap prices and
close margins, farming requires more
judgment and management than almost
any other business. A good farmer can
still do well on these close margius of
profit ; a poor farmer must run behind.
The great profit In agriculture lies in
keeping every acre actively producing.
This is the way gardeners on the high
priced lands near large cities make
their money as Boon as one crop is off
they sow another, and supply the proper
nourishment by high fertilizing
Clover growth is helped by lime and
plaster. Large quantities of nitrogen
are contained in the earth and air, and
clover absorbs nitrogen more than any
other plant. The plant and air work
together in furnishing an exhaustless
supuly of food for all kinds of food
plants.
To destroy the cabbage worm bruise
a quantity of tansy in a wooden bucket
over which pour cold water, and let

and then sprinkle it over the plants,
being sure to reach the worms with it.
It iB absolutely necessary that the wa

House plants that have been planted
in tie border need to be carefully
watched and supplied with water ;
otherwise in a dry time they will suffer
far sooner than plants with their roocs
unconfined. As these make their
gtowlh they will also need soma care id
pinching and tra'ii.ng with reference to
their future forms. !

Keep a constant supply of oyster

coarse pieces. They may be quickly

Dr. Arnold says : ' The best way to
remove grubs from a cow's back In
spring is to enlarge the opering made
by the grub enouch to admit of pulling
it out and theD draw it forth with a
small hook, such as might be made by
bending up the point of a large pin.
The grubs can be easily killed in their
nest by touching each one with a drop
of kerosene on the end of a pointed
stick, but a long and tender sore will
follow before the grub will rot out so as
to allow the sore to heal.

A correspondent calls for methods of
raising colts by hand. I can give one
which may suit his case and may not.
Last summer I lost a mate by tetanus,
bhe ltft a two months old colt. The

been previously collected and carefully

every whiskey barrel must be enshroud

open shed, and placed opposite each oth

weight of each is marked. The animals
are then called out of the ranks by their
respective names, and respond by taking
a step or two forward. Leather blinders

m.ikes all the trouble he can. knowing
that he is being imposed upon ; he kicks
and squeals, groans and grunts, and in
some instances lies down and tries to
rollover, as soon as released from the
hands of his tormentors, and it requires
all the persuasion of kicks and blows,
vigorously applied, to induce him to
rise. The weights placed upon them
vary from two hundred and twenty-five
pounds to four hundred and eighty, the
latter being the weight of two
barrels of whiskey. They are a
molley crew. Some have merely bags
piled one npon another to an immense
height ; others are almost lost to sight
between two square boxes ; two have
stoves on their backs, whose protruding
pipes look bruised and battered, after
the attempts of their carriers to roil
over. Beans and sugar, kerosene and
candles, tea, coffee and oysters, with
everything else that is consumed in a
mining camp, is placed on the backs of
these animals.

Nobody is so wise but has a little folly

Keep your conduct abreast of your

A Plague or Rabbits.
First the white man took Australia,
driving out the aborigines ; and then
came tho rabbit and drove out the white
man. It would be a pity if our colonial
history had yet to be written in this
way. Nevertheless it was the white
roan who introduced the rbbit to the
Australian continent, and he is now
having a hard fight to hold his own
with it. Premiums are in vain offered
by the governments for the invention of
a rabbit destroyer ; a committee of in

devastations by rabbits; In Victoria
there is a rabbit department. The very
causes that have made the colonies
grow grain so wonderfully under the

Banana Farms Id Costa Rica.
The cultivation of bananas in Costa
TV ' '.ii'" s x jmrs ajr on
'si! . lie !ani alontr tbc
1 t.t- . , 1 i 1 tds, oiip roile wide, is leken
up by iLti foauAi.a farms, a majority of
which are owned by citrzpns of the Uni
ted Stales. Each farm is one mile
square, the laLd having teen purchased
for 510 a mansana aboat on?) acre aDd
a hulf of our laD5 masuiement. There
are now about 150 square miles under
ITofltable cultivation.
It is or,ly necessary to cultivate the
banana in Cota Jtica, to cut down the
forest, and then the land i ready to re
ceive the seed. The plow and the harrow
are unknown. The trees are allowed to
ly where they fall. WhHt is called the
banana sucker, a bulb resembling an
onion, is planted about eighteen inches
deep, and from fifteen to eighteen feet
apart, in among the fallen trees.
At the expiration of nine months the
banana plant has reached a height of fif
teen feet, and bears one bunch of fruit.
Fifteen or twenty of these plants or trees
in various stages of development are to
be seen at once sprouting from the same
"ducker," bearing fruit successively the
year around from seveE to ten years
from the first planting. Along the river
banks, where the soil is renewed, they
bear twenty years from the time of first
planting.
When the bananas aie ready to cut. a
farmer who cultivates a mile square ot
land, will take about forty men, five of
whom are regular cutters, and the others
convey the bunches out in mule or ox
carts as fast as they are cut. In a day
and a half the crop is harvested. The
laborers ar3 all Jdmaica negroes and na
tives, who receive f 1.25 per day for their
work. The laborers are almost all Eng
lish subjects, and, like the negro of the
southern states, they always have com
plaints to make. They call themselves
".English objects," and if they imagine
themselves imposed upon they threaten
to "go an' tell Mrs. Qneen, an' the sen'
her gunboat" alluding to Queen Victo
ria, whom they look upon as the most
powerful person in the world. When a
ship flying the English flag comes into
ti e harbor, they say, "Dat Mrs. Queen's
8 up ; she go aD' tell somefin' to English
councilman ; dat's whar Mrs. Queen
sends dem fur." They work hard all
day, drink rum and dance nearly all
night, and are ready for work early in
the morning as bright and apparently as
well rested as if they had slept all night.
After the bananas are loaded on th
train they are taken to Tort Limon,
placed on a vessel and brought to New
York. The steamer Foxhall, named
after the American Tiorsa, but flying the
English flag, Bnd owned by Mr. Keith
of Biooklyn, carries 12,000 bunches of
the fruit to New Orleans every fortnight.
So. all along the line of the road the
succulent banana is making the fortune
of those who had the couraj.' to tempt
the climate.
The snakes make a stranger feel rath
er nncomfortaWe. They have a variety
of them, and when the traveler reflects
that the bite of almost everv species is
fa'al, he is quite I'kely to keep a wary
eye on his surroundings, Quite a num
ber of New York people expect to go to
( nsra Ttica during the coming fall. X.

Power of Fascination In Snake.
Some animals are held in universal
dread by others, and not the least terrib'e
is the effect produced by the rattlesnake.
Mr. Tennant says that thi3 snake will
fiequently lie at the bottom of a tree on
which a squirrel is seated. He fixes his
eyes on the animal, and from that mo
ment it cannot escape : it liezine a dole
ful outcry, which is so well known that
a passer-by, on bearing it, immediately
knows that a snake is present. The
squirrel run9 up the tree a little way,
comes down again, then goes up, and
afterwards comes still lower. The snake
continues at the bottom of the trf e, with
his eyes fixed on the. squirrel, and his
attention is so entirely taken up, that a
person accidentally approaching may
make considerable noise, without the
snake so much as turning about. The
squirrel comes lower, and at last leaps
down to the snake, whose mouth is al
ready disterded for its reception,
LeYaillant confirms this fascinating
terror by a scene which he witnessed.
He saw on the branch of a tree a species
of shrike, trembling as if in convulsions,
and at the distance of nearly four feet,
on another branch, a large species of
snake, that was lying with outstretched
neck and fiery eyes, gazing steadily at
the poor bird. The agony of the bird
was so great that it was deprived of the
power of moving away, and when one of
the party killed the snake, the bird was
found dead upon the spot and that en
tirely from fear for, on examination, it
appeared not to have received the least
wound. The same traveller adds that a
short time afterwards he observed a
small mouse In similar agonizing convul
sions, about two yards from a snake,
whose eyes were fixed Intently on It, and
on frightening away the reptile, and
taking up the mouse, it expired in his
hand.
Don't.
Don't snub a boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the in
ventor of the telephone. Brat enteied
Boston, he wore a pair of yellow linen
breeches in the drpth of winter.
Don't snub a boy because his home is
plain and unpretending. Abraham Lin
coln's early home was a log cabin.
Don't snnb a boy because of the igno
rance of his parents. Shakespeare, the
world's poet, was the son of a roan who
wa9 nnable to wn'te bis own name.
Don't snnb a boy because he chooses
a hnmble trade. The author of Pilgrim's
Progresr, John Bunyan, was a tinker.
Don't Bnub a boy because of physical
disability. Milton was bliud.
Don't snub a boy because of dullness
in his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrated
painter and engraver, was a stupid boy
at his books.
Don't snub a boy because he stutters.
Demosthenes, the great Grecian orator,
overcame a harsh and stammering voice.
Don't snub any one. Not alone because
some day they may far outstrip you in
the race of life, but because it is neither
kind nor right, nor Christian.
The greatest fault is being conscious
of none.
