The plowman's costume seemed m unseasonable as the green of the neighboring fin Ms unseasonable, at least to us, who had left snows and blizzards only thrco days behind. He wore, after the manner of a . hinnman, a blouse or loose shirt of white cotton cloth, wide bajrey pnnts of the same material, md n shawl though the Mexican doesn't call it a shawl, but a rarnpc, and throws t over his shoulders, letting the long end hang down on tho left sido. A wide brimmed straw hat complete! his costume. You have seen pictures of tho plows of the ancient I- gyptinns. Then yon have a fair illustration of those cf Mexico. They have one handle, are often hewn from hard-wood trees, the forks of which give them proper shape, an I the tough fibred wood issullicicnt without a share of metal. Iron is scarcer thnn silver in Mexico. The plowman holds the single handle with one hand, and with the other and a long pole, goads the two, four or eight oxen which furnish the low but euro motive power for ths ab original cultivator. Some enterprising rancheros or farmers tried to intioduce the American plow, but they were found tc have too many handles and one was promptly sawed off, with which altera iion they worked very well. The steel share of the American plow spoiled the Mexican plowman, and owing to the scarcity of iron in tho country, the rail road companies commenced to miss their couplings, pins, and other loose iron and tho i;eh plates distributed along the track for fastening tho rails were appro printed, and, l.ke the swords of ancient warriors, fashioned into plowshares. Tho crops aro harvested with imple ments as primitive as the Kgyptiun plow, the sick e and the scythe doing duty in placo of the reaper and the mower. Threshing-machines are comparatively unknown. The hacienda is a plantation which may contain thousands or tens of thousands "Ot a"res often owned by one man, whose acres aro cultivated by. the coons, as the natives are cal cd, and who" are- ytec tically his slaves, as they work on shares and are in debt from year to year to the owner of the lands, who collects his own with intcicst. The home of the land-owner is also called the hacienda. It is located on some healthful hillside and resembles a walled town, with its arched gateways, towers and church belfry overlooking the walls, within which are gathered at night, ou Sundays and feast days, the - peon laborer, all the horses, cattle, and everything that is his, and are fed, man and beast. There is a church and icst at every hacienda, supported by the tnbuto exacted from all of high and low degree. Hich and poor must pay, ac cording its tho land has yielded sub stance a duty religiously adhered to. As on the plantations in the South, the peons are supplied with w hat they need from tho hacienda "commissary." Their wants are few, but the end of the year usually . rds a balance ngainst them, which must bo deducted from the next crop, and thus tho peon is ever "dealing in futures." Tho farm wagon is as much a curiosity as the one-handled plow. It goes on two wheels. The wheels are very curiously wrought. They nre sawed, or more pronerly hewn, from tho trunk of a tree. Trees large enough for a wheel are scarce, and the wheel must be built in sections. The proper thickness, say six or eight inches, iscuto;! the tree; this is cut in half making two pieces, which arc afterward oined together with other pieces, making a wheel not ex actly ruund, but the Mexican does not care for that, so long as his wheel is big enough. A wooden axle, a tongue and a huge box or bed complete the vehicle not a pretty one to be sure, but sub stantial onough to bear a load needing e'"' n and twelve oxen to draw it. 'arm transportation does not r on wheels. The burro, or s the chief beast of burden, and ttj more than it can pull. Each . -.13 them in droves. The little nimals are "patient , add untiring, and will trudgo for' miles to market or the railway bunion, with two to four sacks of corn or wheat, weighing more than their own body. In the mining districts, and from the stone quarries, ihcy carry bags of silver ore, or slabs of stone, stag- fering over mountain roads, where a orse would not dme to go. I have seen drove of burros coming to a city in the early morning, so concealed with their lo.ids of garden-provender that only their little hoofs and the tips of their long ears cou d bo seen, looking for all tho woild like walking hay-mows. While the hicionda may own hun oreds of burro, the peon may be too no rto pose-s one, and must carry on his own back the product of h i labor. Ho will often curry as much as the burro. At Toluca I saw the most novel team I came across in all my travels. An In dian had hown a stick of timber, about 8x10 inches, and twenty feet long, which he had placed on two wheels or rather rollers, they were so small and with hia squaw (who had a baby on her back), and the burro, they three brought the timber from the mountains to market at Toluca, ull working abrupt in the hnrness. Kruits, "garden-truck," chickens, turkeys and other poultry, pottery and light farm products, are brought to the cities from distances of thirty, forty and filty miles, in slatted boxes or rages, strapped to earn, burro, or one on the back of an Indian peon. The contents sold, the homeward trudge is with a lighter load but a scarely heavier pocket, the net profits having gone for pulque, the native drink, new zarape, a reboso for hU wife, or a spreading, gilt edged sombrero, for your average Mexican wil wear a thirty. dollar hat, if he goes bare footed. It is only the burro that must walk home, and it is always the unhap py lot of this one or (Lat to carry a bur den both ways, for his master must ride .bam&&lwavq. and sometimes with the load to market. l'rairi farmer. Shocked Into a Confession. At the Manchester (England) police court the other day James r?m'th was charged with defrauding tho railway company. He was discovered insensible and without a ticket in a train, and was conveyed in an ambulance to the infirm ary. He wrote on a piece of p:iper that he was deaf and dumb. Thu doctors, however, being sceptical, applied a gal runic batteiy, when the prisoner jumped up and shouted: "My name is Smith, and you may put me down a rogue." He was fined.

Hogs cannot be killed too quickly. The more rapidly they are killed, and the blood got out of them, the better. A well directed blow on the head, between and just i'j front of the cars, will make the animal unconscious; but the chances for a mis-stroke are so many, and as the stroke makes unfit for use considerable meat, this method if killing cannot be recommended.

Anuruan Agriculturist. Hooping Cabbage for Spring Vsc. ( abbxges can bo kept through the winter out of doors better than thev can in the cellar, if tho work is properly done. Select a position in tho lee of a tifjht board fence or building, and dig down about two feet 1 rom tho bottom of this pit lay a drain that will carry off any wa er that may come into it, unless the soil is gravelly enough to drain it self. Then lay down suuie old boards or rails as a floor, and put on that a cover ing of straw or poor hay. Trim off nearly all the loose outer leaves of the cabbage, just leaving two or throe of tho inner most ones. Pack them carefully upon the straw, stem end uppermost. Tho roots may be left on or cut off as may, seem most convenient. They seem to keep quite as well when the root is taken off, and they make much better stowage. They cannot be packed too closely, but it is not well to put them more than three or four tiers deep. ( over them now with straw, and upon that put an inch or two of earth. The pilo thould be highest in tho centre, and somo of tho straw should be allowed to come aliove the soil at the highest point, that it may act as a venti lator to allow tho escape of the warm air in tho pit. As the weather grows colder, cover with more earth tint 1 it is from one to two feet deep. Tho ob;ect of the covering is not to prevent freezing, , but to make tho freezing and thuwing process as gradual as it can be made. If the heap is a largo one, there should be a ventilator of pro ecting straws to every ten feet square, and these should be so arranged that but little water will go down them. A 1 ttle will not do any harm. Packed in this way they can bo kept until spring, or they can be taken out for market at any time during the winter. If there comes a long thaw in January or February, it will bo well to open tho heap enough to examine the cabbages to see how they aro keeping; but usually if, from the work not having been well done, or from any rauso, they begin to decay, it can be detected by the odor which will come from the venti lators at evening after a warm day. American Culticator, Co operative Dairying. Mr. John Boyd, well known in dairy circles in the West, believes in co operative dairying. He has made many speeches in bchuli of this plau, showing by facts and figures the profits accruing therefrom. In a communication to tho Prairie Farmer he states the case as follows: 1 he co-operative plan has proved to be the best system of managing creame ries. 1 he farmers form a corporation or association, subscribe the necessary capital, and elect ollicers annually, to attend to tho business. A factory is built and equipped, and an experienced butter-maker employed. The cream is brought to the factory, manufactured, the products sold, and the proceeds, after deducting expenses (including U per cent on the capital, and usually a small reserve fund), are divided monthly among the patrons, . according to tho amount of milk or cream each hal furnished. In this way, the farmers do the business themselves, nt the smallest possible expense, and get all there is to be made out of it. They are independent of contractors, or of private creamery managers. Tho patrons get their poy regularly, and know whom thev are dealing with. By all means, therefore, a creamery should be a farmers' co operative institution. no great advantage of the cream gathering system is that tho patron liv ing near the creamery possesses no ad vantage over the patron living at a dis tance the gatherer collects the cream of each,aud tho expense is borne equally by all. The patrons don't have to spend valuable time do ivering their cream to the factory it is all taken at their own doors. The expense of this method n reduced to a minimum, because of tha decreased bulk of cream compared with milk. Those who know the bother o( delivering milk at factories or railroad stations twice daily during the busy sea son will appreciate this point. Among the other advantages of cream over milk gathering is the very import ant fact that the skim milk is left on tho farm. If not sold, the skim milk is led out on the farm, increasing the amount of stock, manure.crops, and thus the whole income of the farm. .Nor is there any material shrinkage of cream in handling, owing to its smaller bulk, compared with the loss of a large quantity of milk. The skim milk, being kept elean and tweet, commands a high price in mar ket. The element of Injustice is reduced to the minimum. Milk varies enormously in the quantity of butter it will produce; in cream, this variation is comparatively slight. The same quantity of Jersey milk will produce more spaces of cream than an equal quantity of native cow'a milk. Thus the owners of Jerseys or good cows get the benefit of their su perior product, instead of having to put it on equality with poor milk. There is, therefore, every inducement to improve one's stock, aud breed cows that will give the greatest amount of cream. The result is seen in the better stock in the vicinity of cream-gathering creameries. The milk of each patron being set in a J'ooly creamer, is raised under essen tially the same conditions fully as much so as is milk set in a milk-Rath-eriug tactory. The injury to the cream by beiug carried to tho creamery is cer tainly no greater than the injury to the milk by similar transportation, for the cream transportation cans have an inte rior floatiug device to prevent all churn ing. The last prop of the milk system i thus knocked uwav. .v. C. T. U. COLUMN. Conducted bg tlx Tionnia Union. The W. C. T. U. meet the Sd and 4th Tuesday ot each month, at 3 p. m.

The letter press reives the square miles of each State ; time of settlement ; population ; chief cities ; average temperature ; salary of officials and the principal postmasters in the State ; number of farms, with their productions and the value thereof; different manufactures and number of employes; etc., etc. Also the area of each Foreign Country ; form of government ; population ; prin cipal products and their money value ; amount of trade ; religion ; size of army ; miles of railroad and telegraph ; number of horses, cattle, sheep, and a vast amount of information valuable to all. EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE ONE. All newspaper readers are constantly needing an Atlas for reference in order to intelligently understand the article they are perusing.
