The New Zealaud birth rate con tinues to attract the attention of uta tisticians. It has steadily declined until it is now slightly under twenty six per 1000. In the last sixteen years it has fallen more than twelve points. Population increases, bat the number of births remains virtu ally stationary, and so the rate per thousand sinks. The births num bered between 18,000 and 19,000 in 1882, and they number between 18, 000 and 19,000 in 1896. If the rate goes on falling it will in a few years be on a level with that of Ireland, if not of France. Two things save the colony from an arrest of the growth of population. First the death rate 0.3 per thousand is the lowest recorded of any country in the world; second, there is a small but appreci able immigration. Those who hold that a high stnuilard of education and comfort involves a decline in both the birth and death rates have here a confirmation of their theory. The average of children in regular school attendance in New Zealand is higher oven than in Scotland. London News. TWO GRATEFUL WOMEN Restored to Health by Lydla B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

There- is no doubt that dew cou- taius many valuablo fertilizing clo tients, and that it is an advantage when it can be turned mi dor the soil before the morning snn has evaporated it. Wo have known farmers to get up early iu the morning to hoe cabbage wliito its loaves were still wet with dew, and every jostle with the hoe sprinkled a little in front of the fresh ly moved soil, which quickly absorbed it. e have sometimes plowed under clover while wet with dew or rain, and have woudered whether this did not make the green clover rot more quick ly than it otherwise would. Iu snch cases, however, we should have more faith that the clover would rot quickly if the surface were harrowed down as soon as the furrow was turned. At this season plowed laud is more apt to be injured by drying out too quickly than by anything else, and either the harrow or tho roller should quickly follow the plow. American Culti vator. Beet In the Orchard. Mauy fruit-growers do not thor oughly appreciate the value of bees in an orchard, or there would be more orchards with bees in them. Their value in au orchard was demonstrated in a most practical way at the Oregon Experiment Station some years ago. A few poach trees were forced iuto b'.oom iu November, and a colony of bees was placed in the house when the trees begun to bloom. For several days, however, a heavy fog prevented the bees from working; although tho flowers were open, net a bee was seen upon theni. The first bright day the bees set to work at once, and remained at work so long as there was anything for thorn. The result was that not a peach dropped at the stoning season, tho time that all unfertile fruit falls. The crop was so heavy that it had to bo thinned out. As a check test, one tree- was protected so that not a bee could get to it. On this tree all the fruit dropped at tho stoning period. Bees and other insects have a duty to perform in the orchard, for which thero is no substitute provided. This is tho distribution of the pollen from fiowor to flower and from tree to tree. They insure success in the orchard, and every fruit-grower should encour age the bees in their work by not spraying, or doing anything that would be injurious to tho bees while the trees are iu full bloom. Massa chusetts Ploughman. Ilcna and Gardening. The two do not usually thrive iu coujunction-at least, the garden does not thrive if the hens do. We all know how exasperating it is to see the fowls scratching and picking about among our choice plants and vines; but unless they are in some manner restrained there is no certainty from day to day of their leaviug them unmolested. The best way is to inclose the garden with some sort of fence. If pickets are employed they will need to belong ones, unless the fowls are of some of the Asiatic breeds. Wire netting is excellent, but in width which will be effective quite expensive. A combi nation fence of pickets and netting may be built cheaply, and will hold iu defiance any hen. Mako the picket fence as usual, then stretch two-foot wire netting (tho galvanized article, such as is intended for fencing abovo that, fasteniug it firmly to strips of wood nailed to tho fence posts and ex tending tho necessary length above them to hold the wire. The fowls will make no attempt to scale this fence. and the garden will thrive and the housewife's foce wear a smile instead of a frown when ho goes to get vege tables for the table. On tho average farm it is usually advisable to give the fowls their liberty nt least during part of the day, and by thus providing for the safety of out' treasured phrits they have the range of tho barnyards and surrounding grounds at will. W. U. ltockwopu m tho New York Tri bune. Feed For Mie Dniry Herd. The crop of fodder corn La3 come to be of so much value to us on our farm for late summer, full and winter use that we would no more think of dispensing with it than wo M ould with our potato crop for table use. A few years ayo we did not think that snch a crop was worth while. for our fur ui is a natural grass and stock farm, tho pasture often Retting such a growth in tho enrly spring that the stock aro nnnblo to keep it "gnawed down," so a large growth soou de velops. Usually when tho dry sea sou comes on there ure largo quanti ties of this old dead grass ttunding in the posture hold. Wo used to thmk that was "good enough for the cows," although they would always shrink at such times in their daily flow. We did not like this, for when a cow gets to "drying oil'" ue, huvo found it outs of tho hardest tilings to get her buck to her normal flow. So wo begau to give the fodder corn a trial, mid now after livo years of experience withont a failure I do not hesitato in recom mending to nil farmers who keep cows the necessity of having ou hand iu autumn a nice field or "patch" of fod der com. Any time sifter the regular field corn and other spring crops are ont of the way will do for planting. This conies with us on our farm any time from tho 1st to tho 15th of Juue, the last date being the latest that wo ever drilled with equally good results. We have tried several different methods of planting iu the same field at the same time and find there is no better way than to nso a common grain drill with part of tho holes closed, which loaves the corn iu rows not closer than three feet apart. Cul tivation is necessary to insure a suc cessful staud of a good height. Nearly every one seems to indorse some kiud of sweet corn, but I cannot see where sweet corn is superior to our eouiiuou dent corn ; besides we all know that one acre of tho field corn will grow more fodder thau au acre and a half of tho sweet sorts, so what is the nso of buying seed wheu we al ready have as good ou haud? The amount of seed to nso on an acre varies accordiug to the richness of tho soil aud distance between rows. Wheu the rows are three feet apart never nse more thau four bushels. Even with this quantity the soil must be rich iu plaut food or else the growth will be small aud not very sat isfactory. If you have never given this valuable crop a test, do so and feed it to your cows, horses and hogs audseethemget fat. EliusF. Brown, in Agricultural Epitoinist. Tonltry Notea.

It should now be working at its best, for late chicks are easily raised and are al most as profitable as any. As chicks grow they should be given more room iu tho brooders. Crowding fifty chicks in a space fit for only tweiity-fivo will stunt tho whole lot. Your poultry need plenty of shade to get in when the days are warm, and grape vines make a very tine shado as well as being a very profitable ad dition to a poultry yard. A mau ought to take a pride iu the appearance of his yards or larger tracts of ground, aud thero is neither sense nor economy in having them disfig ured by barren, unsightly poultry yards. In dealiug with poultry keep track of each bird, and do not depend wholly upon this or that breed. The ques tion of profit lies with the individuals. Any variety cau be made profitable by keeping watch of .the different fowls. The egg shell is porous, and when ever it comes in contact with filth of any kind the quality of tho egg is very quickly injured. Eggs for hatching shonld be washed iu warm water be fore being set, that all closed pores may be opened. THE ORICINAL ANGLO-SAXONS. The Angles and Saxone Who Conquered lirltaln In the Fifth Century. Inasmuch as a great deal of talk is heard nowadays about an Anglo-Saxon alliance, it may be pertinent to inquire who were really the origiual Anglo Saxons, if such a people did ever exist. To do so, it will be necessary to glide over the beaten tracks of historical re search until the fifth century is reached. It was in the beginning of that century that Borne withdrew all her troops from her colony known as Britain in order to protect herself from the assaults of invaders. The natives of Britain, with no military training, were left unprotected, and open to the attacks of the savage tribes who sailed the seas in search of plunder. It was at this time the Saxons commenced their conquest of the island, assisted by a people known as the Angles. ihey were both of Teutonic origin, but tho Saxous inhabited a great tract of land between tha rivers Rhine and Elbe; the Augles came from the sonthern parts of Denmark. While they were of the same race, they were, nevertheless, different peoples, each having a government and laws of their own. Tho Saxons were hardy seamen, brave, and certainly the forerunners of the sailors whose flag floats on the greatest navy of the world. The Angles and the Saxons conquered Britain, and assumed control of the destinies of the land. The native Britains and the invaders became homogeneous iu character, with the Angle-Saxons largely predominating, so that it may be said there once did exist a people in England who could properly call themselves Anglo-Saxons. The Angles and the Saxons were tho originals, aud they helped to give birth to that civilization which has como to be known as Anglo-Saxon, and which in cludes a!l English speaking peoples, in whatever part of the world they may be established. Certainly that civili zation is the bast There is more freedom for the people, a greater op portunity for individual development, aud moro general happiness all around than can be fouud in any other, whether it is called the Latin,the Asiatic or the Aryan civilization.

If warfare with ordinary craft ou the surface of the water is deadly, how much more so will it be whmi our navies are equipped with destroyers that slip along nusceu and unsus peeked far below the surface of the sea iu a position practically uuasaailahlt and can plaut a score of torpedoes oi lay the trains for blotting out of exist euce a whole fleet, while the entire, navy rocks trauquilly ou the wavet without the remotest idea that an enemy is near? It is more thau a ceu tnry since tho first attempts were mad to build submarine boats. Since thai time mauy experiments have been made iu this name diroctiou, most ol them without any results that would lead to the further pursuance of this idea. Within the past few years, how ever, there have been several boats constructed that seem to approximate success. The Holland boat has points of excellence worthy of the considers tion of experts. The main require meuts of a torpedo boat are the capao ity to remaiu for a given time under water, complete mauageableuess aud the fundamental elements of safety. The risk of being locked up in suirou shell and submerged for any lougth of time, with danger of suffocation ot explosion, is too great to bo taken withont a reasonable assurauce oi coming out alive. A successful tor pedo boat would unquestionably be a most formidable element in a naval engagement. The world is looking on with interest whenever such boats as the Holland are put on trial. Not alone would these boats be a terror to a fleet, but they could approach the very wharves aud warehouses of even our smallest cities, aud do their deadly wore unseen auduuaunouueed. New York Ledger. Attached by a Tike. A healthy suspicion of fish stories need not make ns unduly sceptical about the tale of a pike which comes from the Kiver Barrow, near Carlow, Ireland. A mau who was shovelliug gravel out of the stream was attacked by one of these fresh-water sharks, and was so severely bitten in the leg that he had to be taken to the hospital. It was that pike's last bite, for the man killed him with his shovel au unsportsmanlike but, in the circum stances, excusable proceeding. The fish weighed thirty-six pouuds, which, we are told, is "for Ireland, a medium size." Here is room for the play of philosophio doubt. The heaviest pike ever caught by Mr. Jardiue, our most expert hunter of jaok, weighed thirty seveu pouuds, and anglers rarely see a pike weighing anything like so much, although they are not mfreiiueutlv heard of. That this fish had a mind to swallow the man's leg we entertaiu no doubt, for his kind have often enough done such things. . There is even a story of how a pike caught a fox in some such way, while jack have occasionally seized the snouts of drinking cattle. Sometimes, iu his noble haste, the jack will bolt the angler's float, unconscious of the nice plump bleak or gudgeon dangling just below. St. James's Gazette. A Library Disappears.
