Kvery Tibago has a chief. He belongs to the highest caste, and governs those under him w.th more oncial and autocrat c assumption than a Mexican al cado. His assumption, however, is real, and curries with it life and death. The Samoans arc the most polite people in the world, and in merely addressing any one of distinction they employ many meta phors and complimentary terms. They beg your pardon a thousand times, regret to trespass upon your patience, and, in fact, exhaust a catalogue of polite and entirely superfluous terms. They have trained oi ators, and they are called the talking men of the districts. Their oratory is not i ant and noiy luss. I hare seen a trained orator address a meeting, and I really think that many of our orators could well emulate hi style. His auditors were seated in the hut or coun cil chamber, and he stood before them with a long stall which he leaned upon whilo talking. He did not geniculate much, but began in a slow and clear voice. The t-amoan language, by the by, is musical. The higher class, how ever, speak a different dialect from the lower, gradually the orator worked up to his clima and moved his audience iu a way that indicated they appreciated his eloquence and logic. As a rare they are tempeiate and not addicted to the vices of forcigueis. friendly in dis position, they welcome the stranger to their homes with a cordiality that is at times almost overwhelming. They live in comiortablu homes for a climate that registers 7 and . 0 degrees Fahrenheit, as a rule, in the shade. Their houses in many instances are oval in shape and dcvo.d of windows. When the winds blow they rai he sides of their houses, or rather roll h ra up, for they are com posed ot thick matting. The wind then has full sweep of the ttone lloor, where the occupants sleep on mats with hard 1)nmboo pillows. Their way of sleeping has a tcudency to make them straight limbed.

'1 he chieis of the village are not polygamous, but they have an arbitrary way ot returning their w.ves to their patents. A chief will take a wife just to get rich presents from her family. For days there will be festivities in his vil la.e in honor of the nuptials, and pies ents from the bride's family will be sent in and ealously taken possession oi by the chief. In several months or a year he simiiIs his wife back to her parents and tliea looks around for another rich heiress. .Many of the le iding chiefs have been Christianized and take a wile for life. A chief's daughter is called the 'tanpo' or maid of the village, and every person in the village has to honor her. : ho occupies a higher place than the governor's daughter in a civilized countrr, and when she marries the vil- -lutre trains so many pre-euts. The man who courts the tanpo has to have the opulence to give enough presents to satisfy the village and the chief, tome of theio 'tanpo' maidens have bad re markable careers, and one, a famous beauty named Faapeo, the daughter of a noted chief, Assi, has gained a wide reputation.

Packing Hay In a Ttarn Mow. It is always a convenient way to psok hsy in a mow in sections, that is. to put the hsy In a pnrt of the mow say ten feet wide right across, and make the sido of the heap square. When the heap has been carried up as high as may be de sired moro hay can be put in alongside of this, so that when the hay is to he taken out the whole top need not be uncovered at once. It is often the case that gram or other product is put on the hay for want of room, and then it is dio cult to get the hay from tinder it, but by putting it in sections in this way this d tliculty is avoided. I aige stacks should be put up iu tho same way. Aeie Yiirt Time. Rcmrdv for Spasmodlo Colic "Spasmodic colic" or cramps of the bowls in horses may bo caused by indi gestion, drinking cold water when warm after diiing, or a sudden chiil from bcirg exposed to ccld, ra n, or wind. Some horses are very sensitive to sudden change of food and temperature, nnd rectiiie more care than oth rs to keep them in good health. The usual rente d es for colic are livs ive medicines; for a horse about four drachms of cape aloes, ad ing an anodyne, two d: acinus of bell., donna or one drachm of opium, to relieve iho pain. Mime prefer to give tho anodyne fir t to check the pain, fol lowing in the course of a half hour with the laxative me .icines.

Spring always finds the farmer with plenty to do. no matter how much he gctJ done in the full, so it is a good plan to do all that tan be done in the fall in order that all tho time of spring may bo used in crowding the work of getting in the crops and cultivating them early. Those who keep the same pieco of land in meadow year niter year, have probably not ccd that it becomes thickly matted and forms a compact sod, so that there is a meager or infeiior growth of grass. Our own plan is to p ow up meadows be fore they (tet in tins cond.tion, but a writer in the Wisconsin Agi.-ul urit who evidently has old meadows wh ch need renewing, advocates the following plan of doing it : He savs because a meadow falls o(T in productiveness, is not a sign that it is worn out or exhausted as some farmers are wont to believe. Such meadows can be greatly bene ted and u ade to yield abuudantly. It has been our practice, whenever it was found necessary, to sub ject them to mechanical treatment and the results have invariably been highly satisfactory. The meager growth of tho grass is due to tho closeness ot the plants, and, therefore, all that is neces sary is to "thin," or weed out the su per. uons growth, which is effectively and readily accompl shed by passing ovor them with a shsrp toothed harrow. A disc harrow will an-wor, but "teeth'' are prcfe. able. Hy th s operation tho sod is lacerntcd, the recdundant growth killed, and th remaining plants, in conse pince, make a luxuriant growth, and a large crop is the reward. This woik should be done cither in tho fall or in tho spring, and, a- the s d is, through tho harrowing, rendered rough or un even, it is well 10 pass over it with a heavy roller, so that the crop may be cut near the ground when having "time comes. A judicious application of well-rotten barn-yard mau re at the same time,, would gieatly increase its productive ness. With this last statement we most heartily agree. In lact it would bo no wonder if it was not the well-rotted manure having a chance to work among the roots because of the stiried-up con dition of the meadow, that produces the moro abundant growth and tho better quality of grass, as much as the "thin ning process. Well -rotted manure, any fine manure, will help any meadow. If you have any time to get it out and havo it, do not let any manure stay in tho "heap or barn yard through tho winter; get it out now. I sually tho meadow can be got upon with a team and wagon in the tan wiih less damage than in tho spring when the ground is soft. Feetlintr Heavy Draught Horses Too little care is taken by farmers generally with the feed of their horses. In all the large stables of our country. as well as thoso of Europe, the care and feeding of horses is systematized. Tho horses on the street car lines have their coarse feed cut and their grain ground. This is true, also, of hurscs used for heavy teaming. If it pays the owners ot these horses to hire men to prepare food for them, why will it not pay the farmer to prepare food for his horses? Some times the rations prepared fot horses doing heavy work ull the while can bo used for farm horses when at heavy work. If they cannot bo ued they may suggest good rations that 01117. With this object in view, we givo the ration fed to heavy draught horses in large teaming corporations of England. 1 neaaily allowance of hay is Vi pounds; this is cut up with 2 or :) pounds ol clean oat straw. If the horses aie at very heavy work and p it in long houri the futlder tation is increased to H 01 1 pounds, three-fourths of which is food meadow hay. Ihe fitting proportion of the albumi noid materials requisite for the forma-. tion of red blood and vigorous muscle in hard worked, heavy hnises ranges from one to tivo. or six of the carbona ceous or other food coustltucuts. This ratio is sejuied by tho liberal use of beans aud pea, which contain weight for weight, nearly three times the amount of flesh-formers as Outs, aud nearly four times that of corn. The mixture of grain given daily to each Corse consists of 3.31 pouuds beans. l.ti" pounds peas, P.jj.j pounds corn, 4.0 oats. The grain is used cracked, but not too much crushed or bruised. fco beans should be used unless clean. sound, and weighing tO pounds to lit pouuds per bushel. Oats ore carefully seiectea 01 ut least 40 pounds per bushel, natural weight, and, clean, sweet, dry, and hud. J-.verv Saturday niL'ht a mush, consisting of Si pounds bran and 1 pouna imseeu, is served to each horse. aud on Sunday little mora than one half the working day allowance of corn is giveu. Mauy experienced horse own ers would object to this dietary on ac count 01 me large proportion of corn, wnicn iney would reduce, correspond lugly increasing the oats: while others. now that barley is cheap, introduce one or two pounds of it into the feed. The cooking for food for horses is now properly reprobated, on account of its favonug imperfect masticutiou aud in salivation, with couscqueiu indigcstiuu while, moreover, it interferes with con dition and endurance.

II is common during the warmer parts of tho year and hibernates as adult, or per fect fly, during tho winter. In warmct regions it may be BCtivo throughout tin year. Packard states thnt it breeds in August about stables, the rggs being placed in horse dung. Other writers state that it breeds freely in other kinds of liltb About houses and out-buildings, and by devouring it prevents to a great degree that contamination of the air that pro duces epidemics of diseases. The eggs hatch in about twenty-fom hours after they Aro laid : tho larva shedi its skin twice, and in about a week it pupates.
