Take the country at large, the farmer's‘ Erdm is a sorry looking sight. The plant- ‘ g of it is irequently left till after all the field crops are in; then it is often neglected and allowed to grow to weeds, because the iarmer thinks \he cannot afford the time necessary to keep them out. There are other gardens besides those of farmers that do not show up very well in any thing but weeds. Why! Because the little weeds are so tedious to pull by hand that they get the start of the plants or vegetables to sucha degree that it is almost impossible to pull them without uprooting the latter ; so "both grow together until the harvest," and the weeds usuallyâ€"always make the best crop- We never saw a ripened crop of Weeds that paid.

Among plants conspicuous for their foli- age, that are guod, may be noted the can- not! in many siz a of growth and variety of color and foliage. One of the very best for dark foliage, almost: equal to a dracoeoa, is he 0. Atronigrioans. Some of the flowers of the newer kinds are nearly eqnal to & gladiolus. Acmnthus mollia, a. variety of boat’s-breech, is a good foliage plant. The Brazllan beets with their colored foliage are good, as are the caster-oil bean, and the striped Japanese corn. To raise a(large quantity of bedding plants from cuttings and winter them over in greenhouses, is expensive and not every- body csn spare the cash. To those so situat- ed, there is agoodly number that for the expense of a five or ten-cent package of seeds, hundreds can be rsised with the help of B hotbed.

They are valuable also for variety, as Well as an easy way of increasing the quantity, even with such as have the green- house kinds as Well. All our park garden- ers make more or less use of them. For blues, there is nothing better than the lobelia, low growing plants, of which spe- ciosa and pumila are good examples. Quite another shade of the same group on she purple order, are the Agerntums. or Mix?- can floss flowers. quite compact and usetul. 0i yellows, but in the foliage and not in the flower, is the golden feather, much used for edges or hands, and of a higher-grow- ing plant, the calceolaris amplexioaulis is easily raised from seed.

In England it is claimed the annual agri- cultural products have been trebled within the last whit-W years by the knowledge of bet- ter methods which public and private enter. prise has disseminated. d‘he more succulent foods make the more watery milk and oilv cream, which churns the easier. Hence ensilage and roots are favorable to butter making, the oils princip- ally giving butter its flavor. In winter, there should always be onhand a supply of succulent food. such as ensilage or some kind of roots. These are relished exceedingly, help keep the bowels in good condition, and increase the flow of milk. A purchase of cheese at Chicago, the second week in J anuary. included 4,500 boxes Summer-made Wisconsin cheese, which was fine. and was taken by a Cana- dian operator for through shipment to Live:- pool. An experienced ficurist says: Many ama- teur gardeners Would find that saucers to set their pots in would help them out of many trials with their pot plants, especially with such as are set on dry, airy shelves, for they retain the moisture for the lowest roots to feed on, so that there is never any flag- ging of the folisge or exhaustion of the plant. There can be little doubt but dryness at the root is the forerunner of half the evils that beset pot plants, for unless the operator is very careful, the low roots are frequently left dry, while the surface soil looks quite wet. and by putting saucers under the pots, and keeping a little liquid food in them. the work of such frequent watering is reduced, the splashing of plants beneath is overcome, and the outlay is soon repaid. For Spiraea Japonics, and for bulbs of nearly all kinds, the plan of feeding with liquid from the bottom is certainly the best in every way. There are one hundred millions of dollars invested in the farms, cows, factories, build. ings and machinery, that it takes to produce $20,000,000 per annum in dairy products in this country.

POI-rm) PLANTS Is corn fodder good for sheep? asks a cor- respondent. Yes. If it is good, clean, bright fodder, sheep will eat it well and do well upon it. In ohe West corn fodder has not yet been appreciated. Lsst year a great many were driven to ssve and feed it, and they learned its value. But to be valuable it must be saved in good shape, and fed judiciously to sheep. What we mean by that is that, like any other food, they should be given only what they will eat up clean. It need not be out, we reply to our oorres~ pendent. If it is placed in the rack so that the sheep can get at is readily, they wil strip it of everything that they would be ex- pected to eat. Some of our best flack- masters prize corn fodder for sheep very highly, and just so fsr as we can make corn fodder answer the purpose of feeding, we save our valuable hay. Stephen Powers says that he knows of no way of so profit- ably disposing of corn fodder as feeding it to sheepâ€"E Western Rural. Soft feed for chicks is undoubtedly the cause of a great deal of mortality among them. A mixture of cornmeal, old bread. bran and middling. with just enough milk to moisten in, is a good feed and broken rice may be given for a change. Keep all the dirt possible out of the milk, and do not depend on the strainer to take out dirt. Only hairs and such dirt as is mechsnically held on be strained one. What is dissolved will remain in the milk, to foul in and injure its flavor and its keep ing qualities. BEGONIA WEL'romssSIs IN A WINDOW.â€" This pretty plant succeeds, an English paper says, under the most simple treatment, and a. better snbjsct tor a window could hardly be named. The tuberous roots are now dor. meat, of course, so keep the soil nearly :‘ry at all times, and just safe from frost. To- wards the end of March remove the pots to the warmest place at command, so as to induce them to start into fresh growth. When the shoots are 3 inches or4 inches high, shake the old soil away more or less, according to its condition, and re pot in a mixture of two parts light, fibrous loam, with one part good leaf mold and a dash of sand. Water cautiously at first, but when well in growth, more freely. and give a little liquid-manure now and then when the pots are toll of roots. The agricultural professors tell us that the raising of 30 bushels of wheat to the acre will remove from the land 51 pounds of nitrogen, 24 pounds of phosphoric acid and 37 pounds of potash. This could be replac- ed by 60 pounds of an] babe ammonia, 171 pounds of superphoap ate of line and 76 pounds of chloride of potash. The seimre of an American schooner in New Brunswick waters last Friday makes a. very early and unpromising opening of the season in this respect. The report of the Canadian Minister of the Marine and Fish- eries had just announced that there was only one seizure by the Dominion cruisers during the whole of last year, and that one a trifl- ing matter, easily settled on paying the ex- penses incurred in keeping the vessel. In the present case of the William H. Toye a fine of $400 was erected before her release. Tne alleged offence appears to have been a violation of the Customs law. The denial of the captain that he smuggled goods ashore recalls the Canadian complaint at the outset of the fishery dispute. It was urged that some of the crews of our fishing vessels. which were in part manned by residents of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, were in the habit of smuggling American goods for the use of their families or their neighbours in calling at the ports where they lived. This was one reason urged, when the treaty of Washington expired, for exacting strict compliance with the port regulations. The exact merits of the present seizure, however, are yet to appear.-â€"[N.

He is ex- tremely clever in this respect, and can make anything from a chair to a. picture-frame. His fingers are as (left with the hammer. scissors, and gum-brush as they are with the piano. Signor Tosti is immensely popular with all who know him. His rooms are hung with autograph photographs of the Queen, Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice, Duke of Albany, Duke of Connaught, the Queen of Italy, and nearly every celebrated person in society and the musical world. He goes every afternoon to sing and play to the aged Duchess of Cambridge in St. James’s palace, and is a great favorite there. The interest evinced in his illness has been some- thing extraordinary. Telegrams and letters from all parts have reached him. The Grand Duchess Paul sent immediately from Ger- many, and Princess Louise paid a personal visit to Maudeville place to fenquire after him. The reason of his popularity is easily found. Generous almost to a fault, sympa- thetic, charitable, and genial, he is the best friend in the world. In person he is a minia- ture Prince of Wales. The stairway leading to the office of a professional man in Atlanta is fitted up with a wire which communicates with a small bell in the office.

Near the bell is a small window, and when the alarm is sounded the professional man looks out, and it the caller is a collector he is “ not: in.” A cartridge has been invented by Mr. Albert H.Wa1ker, of Hartford, Comm, which when filled with oil and discharged, will pacify the stormiest of seas. The receptacle is of ordinary cartridge size, but is made of heavy paper, and is weighted at the further end with a small piece of lead. It will hold about two ounces of oil. It is fitted in an ordinary cartridge shell, and fastened to it by means (i cotton shreds. The cartridge is put into a breech-loader and the trigger is pulled. The cotton connecting the cartridge and the shell is ignited by the powder. it is burned. and the cartridge, filled with oil, is sent spinning away over the waves. Then, at any point the navigator may wish. the cartridge, because of the lead at its head, will sink into the waves. The oil being lighter than the water, rises to the top of the sea and spreads over it like a film over the waves. By means of these cartridges a path an eighth of a mill broad can be made through the heavies: of seas. Seafaring men are much delighted at this inventionâ€"IN. Y. Evening Sun.

AS YOU LIKE IT Dear Friends. I have often read of cats and other savage preying animals taking care of and nursing with great fondness the young of animals on which they preyed, but not: until recently did any such incident come under my imme- diate observation. A neighbor of mine had a cat whose kit- tens were all drowned which seemed greatly to disturb Mrs. Pass and she hunted around very eagerly for her lost babies, but did not find them of course. She did find two little rabbits, though, and greatlyfsurprised her owners by coming in with the little rah bits in her mouth. She carried them to her bed and adopted them as her kitties and they accepted her as their mama and thriv- ed under her csre. She would carry them in her month just as cats do their kittens from one place to another, up stairs and down stairs until one day, ales! for the little rabbits, in carrying them up stairs, the one time too many for them, she broke the skin accidentally. The tut) of blood brought all her savage praying instinct back upon her in full force and she devoured her nurslings without any compunction. After having them so long we would have thought eh»~ would have become attached to them, but it took very little to make her their devour- er. Now, here is another incident sfill more remarkable. I did not: see for myself, but the gentleman who told in. and at whose house it happened, did, and he is a. man of such stricb integrity that his word ls above all suspicion. One of his oats loll: her kittens and in hunting around for them, came upon a wounded or sick rat, and she adopted is for her lost kittens and took care of is and nursed it. until it got well. In this insbance I do not know the sequel, but. do not think it ended as tragically as the other, or I should have heard it. 1 am under the im- pression that when the rat got well it return ed to its own race. Cats are not generally supposed to be en- dowed with a loving nature, but I have seen quite many that showed very strong attach ment to their owners and disproved this idea in their own indivividual cases at le 9*. Once at my home one of the cats had such a tiny morsel of a kitten that I called it Mid- get. Itcontinued so small that Ifelta compas- sion for the little creature and thinking that perhapsits mother did not giveitenough milk, I began giving it some fresh milk every day, morning and evening, when the milk- maid brought the milk to strain. and she soon begun to improve and w fat and slick, though not much in size. She became very fond of me and made me pet her and take notice of her in spite of myself. I was taken very sick soon after I began my attentions to her and was not by to see that she got her fresh milk. I would not have known that she was not served, but for her running to myroomolimbinguponmybed and purrfng and rubbing against me. At first I did not know what she wanted and kept put- ting her down, but Midget was very ‘persis- tent, so I called the servant then, and asked her If she had given Midget her milk and found that she had not. As soon then as she had called her, Midget jumped down and ran to get her milk and as long as I was sick if she was not given her milk when it was strained, she would run to me and tell as, plain as words could. Now I thiLk this was very clever in her. She became so attached to me that she would follow be about like ‘ a little dog; go out walking with me, run ahead of me and climb trees and fences ‘ and every now and then run back to meet, me. I am not particularly fond of cats in general, but I was bound to love this little thing when she loved me so. She did not seem to care for any one, but the sound of, my voice was enough to make her happy. I went off for a visit and was gone ten days. When I came back little Midget was sistting quietly on the hearth by the fire and Icalled to her, “Why, Midget?” The little thing sprang to me and jumped in my lap, rolled over and over, reached up to my face and rubbed against it and showed the strongest feelings of delight. Poor :little thing, she came to a tragic but accidental death soon after. Perhaps another time I may tell of some other nnimals and their clever and affection- ate ways. One thing I am sure of, though, and that is, that the love and devotion of almost any thing can be won by kindness and care for them and are much more useful and tractable than if controlled by harshness, sc, children, be kind to every thing. N. C. Why Stanley Never Lectured in America. When Henry came to New York in the full flush of his African achievement an en- terprising Frenchman made a contract with him for $50,000 to give a series of lectures throughout the United States. The first was to be given at the Academy of Music. Stanley had just come from Europe, where he was lionized, feted, and like Talma almost lectured to a pitful of kings. When the hour approached he peeked out of the hole in the curtain and beheld a yawning chasm of empty seats. He could not understand it, he grew nervous. asked one of the report- ers if his time was ounces, and looked con- fused. The French impressario, who also peeked out oi the hole, was more excitable. He stamped up and down, damned the apa- thy of the American people, rubbed his skull cap round in a comical manner, and swore that “ dis country vas van sacre chien of a fraud.” After the 1:11me attended lec- ture Stanley related his disappointment to Gen. John A. Dix, who was then alive. “ My dear Stanley.” said the governor, “ we have just had four years of war all on ac- cound of Africa and we don’t take much interest in that subject, and unlike Euro- pean powers we have no intention of colon- izing the dark continent." Stanley releas- ed the little Frenchman from his contract and this is the reason why the celebrated explorer never lectured in the interior cit ice at the United States, and the American public heard not the labial liquid African names of towns and rivers as be pronounced them. The Boston “Transcript" says :â€"The United States pays $900,000 a year for its weather service Great Britain $800. 000, Germany, 356 000, Russia 365 000,Austrie. $10 000, ySwiIzerlsuid $6 .1000 France $,60 000. And though no European nation attemp’s to dc as much as we do, or take general obser- vations more than once a. day. the percentage of verification of predictions is rising there, which is hardly the case in this country. Our weather service, with its great cost and thorough organization, ought to be the beat in the world. Stones About Cats. A Costly Business.

Great success, he said. had been the ex- perience of the past year. Although steady progress had marked the work of the As. sooiation from its organization, yet the past year far exceeded its predecessors in the volume of new business. He attributed this to the growing popularity of the assess- ment system of the insurance and more especially to the (quitable and popular plan of our Company. We issued during the year 1888, new and renewed police; s, 1,508, representing insurance to the amount at $2,306,000; the total number of policies now in force belng 1393. representing a total insurance of $9,017 000. In Reserve Fund there is now in the credit of policy- holders about $40,000. During the past: veer there was paid out to beneficiaries to the large sum of $88,776 This system of insurance, he said, evidently filled a long felt want, giving, as it did insurance at such rates as were within the reach of the people who most needed such protection. Our Compiny aimed, not alone at CHEAP INSURANCE. but rather RELIABLE INSURANCE at REASONABLE cost. and our success is the best evidence of the wisdom of our plan of insurance.
