In Mr. Woodward's description of an English fair last week, he mentioned two features that Americms ought to copyâ€" the horse-shoeing contest and the dairy contest. Both of these femturea would be sure to take well here. Farmers would enjoy the blacksmith contest, and the man who wouldn’t run to see a dozen bright American dairymaids compete for a prize at butter-making doesn’t deserve to be called an American. In these two matters John Bull is ahead at Uncle Sam and Miss \Vho says the farmers are not manufac. mrers ? The ides. is not new, but every barn in the land where animals are kept is a kind of manufactory. The animals are the ma- chines; hay, oats, grain, roots and other food crops are the raw materials; and milk, wool, meat, etc., xbe products. And the conversion of these raw material into salable products requires a vast amount of labor, capital, skill, and good business manage. ment. Should not the farmer, then, be as fully protected as other manufacturers '3 The 1130f: of stock do as much damage to grass as the grazing of it. N o pasture should be given up to stock. It is better to divide the pasture into sections, permitting the stock to have access to only one sectiOn at a. time, in order to allow the other por- tions to recuperate and renew the crop. The shorter the grass is grazzd the more injury will be done by the boots. 0n wet land the injury from tramping is greater, hence stock should be kept out of the pasture for a day or two after a rain. The-farming of the future must be gradu- ally contracted in the number of acres. High: 1' cultivation, more remunerative crops, less hard work over broad fields and closer attention to special paying crops on the fields that surround the house. More pasture, more stock and plenty of ensilageâ€"this in- sures che purchase of less commercial fertil- izer and the very best results from the con- tents of the barnyard. You cannot get two crops from the land without doing injury unless the land be highly manured. The custom of securing a. crop of hay from the orchard robs the trees. The more hay the less fruit. The fruit crop needs as careful attention as any other. All crops grown in the orchard other than the one deserved from the trees simply retard the growth of the trees and lessen their hear- ing capacity. EGGS AND 000115 â€"A poultryman advises that egg should never be placed near lard, fruit, cheese, fish or other articles from which any odor arises. The eggs are ex- tremely active in absorbing power, and in a. very short time they are contaminated by the particles of objects in their neighbor- hood, by which the peculiar and exquisite taste of a new laid egg is destroyed. All goods sell better if put upon the market in nest shape. This is true of honey; crates or surplus cases for holding the section boxes, should be made neat in form. Sections of honey well completed and nicely arranged in such crates, will bear very rough handling, and will remain well preserved, if the sections have not been re- moved after taken ofl‘. Two many monopolists gull millions out of the American people to spend upon Eu- ropean lordlings in adorning the persons of their daughters or their Widows. No won- der the farmers of the country can not raise export wheat enough to keep the balance of of trade in our favor. This is an excellent time to use land plas- ter on grass. The plaster has an affinity for moisture, and attracts it from the atmos- phere. It also supplies lime in a. soluable form (sulphate of lime.) It is also claimed for it that it attracts and retains ammonia from the atmosphere. Oats, when lodged or blown down, are most profitably used by being made into hay, and the same is true of wheat. Wheat hay is extremely nutritious, and some of the bean dairymen sow wheat especially to make trom it a choice hay to be fed to cows in milk The harvesting of the honey crop in Cali- fornia is now in progress. and will be con- tinued through July. Sellers want 6 cents. but dealers think the yield so large that 52 cents should be the price. Salt:ng stock in the fields should be done only when the stock have free access to water. If no water be given other than when the animals are in the barn-yard the salt is best given in the trough. Give the cows some extra. food at night in the stable. This extra food is the best investment which can be made in the dairy. There should be no fooling at milking time. A steady hand, a quiet mouth and ageutle milk stool, will help to fill the pail. Turnips are the cheapest crop to grow and at the same time one of the most valuable. If you are an unbeliever, try it. Do not buy a cow to make beef.

A recent writer says: “I have been ex- ceedingly interested as a horticulturist student oi nature in observmg the recogni- tion of the rights of property in denimtic animals. A hen will not concede a grain of corn as belonging to another, but the one robbed will manifest indignation ; but 9. hen will recognize the right of another to the oc. cupancy of a nest, it not thereby seriously discomfited. A cat makes no claim to pas. session until her foot is on the piece of meat. 1 After possession, however, she asserts herl positive rights, and heavwr cats Will allow the claim.

In the meantime I inspected the result of my shot. The animal, after some struggles, fell dead, and proved to be a. large hyena. At length, having covered my object a well as I could, I pulled the trigger. I am sure no rifle ever made such a clamor in the world as that one! The first bill that re- ceived the report was so taken by surprise that it did not hand it on to its neighbor for several seconds. The second hill wouldn’t believe it, and shied it back at once at the head of the first, and so they went on, tossing it about for nearly half a. minute. I accordingly raised my rifle, and then felt as if I were going to take an awful re- sponsibility upon myself by breaking the wild, mysterious dream about me with the report of a. gun, and I could almost have fancied that every available wild beast with- in hearing of in would hasten to the spot to make short work of so unwanted an intrud- 6F. 7. __ an”. Then same large animal approached, and the jackals scampered off to a little distance. This frightened the big creature, and he retreated, after which the jackals returned. While straining my eyes to see them, the man at my side caught my arm, and pointed through the thorn fence on the right. Just then then the jackals retreated again, and I could see the outline of a. large animal standing over the cow. “ Yoii had better try him with a bullet: 5” whispereq fny_ assistant. At last~ §vhen I had nesrly forgotten what 1 had come out about, a foraging party of jackala came over the hill, and some of them, seeing the carcass of the cow, set to, without further ado, pulling, tearing and crunching the flesh and lgones in high glee. me, that; my position had been minutely reconnoitred; at other times I could hear the rush of heavy feet, and then a scutfla and a. suppressed whining. In the midst of these familiar sounds would come some strange noise. the solitary cry of a large beast of prey on the prowl. Occasionally I was made aware, by an animal galloping away from withig a few yards of I cannot: describe to you the excitementof sitting in the midst of a jungle full of 3‘] sort! of animals, listening to the unearthly ounda of midnight birds and beasts. For two hours I was amused by the purring of the goat-sucker, the wailing of the peewit plover, the cry of an awakened peacock, or the distant " hurrah" of a whole pack of jolly jackals. Sombre and awe‘inspiring as a. forest may be by day it is doubly so during the mystery and darkness of night. Reynell Taylor, an English soldier in India, thus describes his watch in a jungle, where, although he did not kill the tiger he came to seek, he found an abundance ofinteresting sightsand sounds. He had stationed himself, at eight o’clock, near the body of a dead cow, which tigers were likely to visit. Here is a fruit tree from the far north. which possesses a. power of resisting cold much greater than any of the better known forms of Moms.

Fifteen hundred and seventy-five dogs have been taken in by us since July 1. 01' these there were 1,175 curs. some of the b ooded dogs are siill on hand, and the remainder have been purchased, re- deemed or aaphyxiated.

As they departed a man grew up in a. spring‘wagon. He was hot. His little En- ‘ glish pug Was carefully held in his arms that: morning, he said. The catchers spotted him. One of them made a grab for the dog’s head, but the owner smashed the fellow with the red shirt and brass lasso over the head with his whip. Just then the other snarer crept up in the rear and nailed the pug by the hind legs and pumped him into the cage. He picked his pe: out of the crowd of canines and he was tagged and muzzled, and both departed very well plea.- ed with each other and with the world in general. “ I'll show him to you," and the little fel- low chinued up to the aperture. “ Dere he is. Hey, Prince 1” With that a beastly looking, bench~legged brindled bulldog made a bound from the farthest corner of the pen clearing a dozen mangy curs at one bound. He jumped al- most into the boy's face. One of the at- tendants entered and picked. him out, and one of the most unique scenes conceivable transpired. The dog was about as big as his young master. He leaped upon him and both went down on the flaor together. “Prince " hopped across the little fellow's body, licked his hands and face, and cut some of the maddest capers, running half- way down the long hall and then back again, helter skelter, in the wildest glee, never forgetting to jump over and lie down and roll with his owner. The bill was paid and they started off together, the neatly dressed, nobby-looking little fellow accom- panied by about the most ungainly looking canine that ever had the mange. “ Whatudoes he look like 2” asked Mn Bsuber.

At this juncture a richly attired lady stepped froznf garriage at thegntrance. on the dogs at the same time. The curs and blooded dogs fare alike. They are fed three times a day and there is a constant stream of water running through each com- partment.
