A Table Rased on the Experience of s
Number of Years.
The loss from the shrinkage of stored
grain and potatoes Is figured out as
follows: This estimate is made on the
basis of interest at 7 per cent, but
takes no account of the additional de-
preciation due to depredations of rats,
mloe and smaller vermin:
Wheat from tho time it Is threshed
will shrink 2 quarts to the bushel, or
0 per cent in six months, in the most
favorable circumstances Hence, it
follows that 94 cents a bushel for
wheat when first threshed in August
is as good as 81 the following Feb-
ruary. Corn shrinks much more from
the time It is husked; 100 bushels of
ears, as they come from the field in
November, will be reduced to not far
from 80. So that 40 cents a bushel for
corn in the ear as it comes from the
field, is as good as 50 cents in March.
In the case of potatoes—taking those
that rot and are otherwise lost—to-
gether with the shrinkage, there is
but little doubt that between October
and June the loss to the owner who
holds them is not less than 83 percent.
Two Neglected Crop*.
Peas and beans are two neglected
crop#, as they are not grown on many
farms where they could be made
profitable. It is possible to grow two
crops—early peas, and beans later—on
the same ground. Beans are always
salable at good prices, and the straw
of both peas and beans may be util-
ized as bedding or for sheep to pick
over. The best early peas are grown
on land that is heavily manured in the
fall or in winter, so as to turn it
under during any warm spell when the
frost la out of the ground.

harrowed his wheat and rolled It after

it, but he had a better crop than I had
on lmnd of similar character. I have
seen corn harrowed after It had at-
tained considerable size. The process
seemed to tear the corn all to pieces,
but time showed that to all appear-
ances the harrowing was beneficial.
In barrowing wheat after it comes up,

It will naturally be torn up, but the
crop will be better. The soil cannot
be stirred too much In the earlier
stages of plant growth. Crops that
can be drilled, such as wheat or peas,
may be drilled deep enough so that
the harrow will not touch the root#
Not only does cultivation rid ths soil
of weeds, but It puts it Into the best
possible shape to enable the plants to
take up their food and also snablsa

the earlier and more thorough the
cultivation the easier It will be to de-
stroy the weed# Weeds at first are
shallow rooted, and even If they have
not yet appeared above the surface
they will be so disturbed as to prevent
their growth. After heavy rains
crusts when they form on the sur-
face should always be broken by the
harrow. If grain that Is sown In the
fall is harrowed iu the spring the re-
sult will be very satisfactory.—Farm-

In driving fence posts a platform of
some kind Is required for the operator
to stand upon when manipulating the
sledge. This is usually a cumbersome
box that is rolled and tumbled from
one post to another as the work pro-
gresses, and if the ground Is unsvan

ing the work unnecessarily tiresome

like the one illustrated herewith.
The top or platform is three feet In
length and two and a half feet wide
and twenty-eight Inches from the
ground. The wheels should be sis or
eight inches In diameter and may be
of wood or Iron; the handles are four
and a half feet long with a step nailed
on top of them, as shown In the
sketch. This arrangement will prove
handy in gathering apples from the
lower branches of trees, and for many
other purposes about the farm. It can
be made from bits of boards and la
easily moved about—American Agri-
culturist
Proinn In ths Dairy.
There Is probably no branch of farm-
ing that has made such rapid strides
as dairying during the past five years.
It Is now possible to estimate the an-
nual profit of each cow and to discard
all animals falling below an estab-
lished standard. Butter-making Is
now reduced to such fine proportions
that churning Is varied so as to con-
trol water in the finished produot The
water content varies with the quantity
of salt used, UBed; thus, fresh or light-
salted butter requires less water.
Butter-making will soon be a solenca
that few farmers ean afford. Milk and
cream will be sold to the city or cream-
ery, where aroma in the form of bacte-
ria for ripening will be cultivated and
used. Economy in dairying will then
fall back on the farmer, who wlU be
required to study and know the actual
value of the food consumed by each
cow and its value returned In the form
of milk or fertilizer.—Farm and Home.
iperlael Mew E—Usri
Industry.
Kauri gum digging is an industry pe-
culiar to New Zealand, though oopal
gum, the product of an African forest
tree, is procured In a similar manner.
The gum la the hardened sap or resin
of the kauri pine, and Is found im-
bedded in the earth of the moorlands,
where the eoll la light and clayey.
Bnah soil oontalns pieces of hardened
gum, varying from mere fragments to
blocks as large ns a man’s body. It Is
just below the surfaoe of the ground,
or at a depth of from 8 to 18 feet The
laud which oontalns it Is usually poor
and bleak, though the gum sometimes
occur* In growing kauri forests, espe-
pecially around the roots of old or dead
kauris. Curiously, the sap or resin of
the living trees is not of any value,
being too soft. It must be buried un-
derground for many years before It ac-
quires the hardness necessary to fit It
for the market.
The gum, as It Is dug up, la In a seml-
fosalllsed condition, and Is found wher-
ever in past ages kauri forests grew,
and, of oourse, the existing kauri for-
est* are making deposits which will be
useful in years to coma It livery like
amber in appearance and In general
qualities, though it la not so beautiful
or valuable. Clear or prettily marked
pieoee are often made Into brooches,
ear rings or other email ornaments, but
they are too brittle to be of much value.
In oolor the gum varies from s pale yel-
low to a brown or even Jet black, and,
like amber, is elear or clouded. Nat-
urally enough, e substance so like em-
ber la often fraudulently passed off as
ember, or used In the various composi-
tions made to counterfeit that beauti-
ful produot The clearer It Is the more
highly It la estimated. Small insects,
bugs and flies are sometimes found im-
bedded in it
Kauri gum came into the market in
the years 1840 and 1841, when New
Zealand was first colonized by the
British. The Maoris used to collect it
and sell it to the storekeepers at 825 to
830 a ton. For many years the amount
exported was very small, not more than
100 tons per annum. Most of the gum
that is produced is sold in the United
States, New York and Boston buying
two-thirds of the whole annual out-
put. The gum digging industry em-
ploys abont 2,000 men, though this
number is constantly fluctuating, and
at times as many as 4,000 people ha
been engaged In It. In the three years
from 1870 to 1872, inclusive, the amount
exported was very large, being about
15,000 tons, valued at 82,500,000. From
1858 to 1880, Inclusive, the total output
was about 70,000 tons, valued at more
than 810,000,000. The price of gum
varies considerably, according to Its
density, clearness, hardness and other
tie
qualities, but the average price is about
8215 a ton.
The land, which is now covered with
ferns, was once clothed with kauri for-
ests, but how long ago the forests died
and how old they were when they died
Is very hard to tell. The work of gum
digging Is arduous, and the hours of
labor, espeoially In summer, are long.

A CHINESE MAN-OF-WAR.
Protecting Baggios ud Wagons.
Unless the wood work of a wagon Is
thoroughly protected by paint or var-
nish It will sweU whenever it Is wet,
causing “springing" of the spokes,
splitting of the hub and felloe, and
perhaps the dishing of the whola
wheel. When wheels are long ex-
posed to the sun's rays there Is likely
to be a shrinkage of the wood that
opens the joints, readily admitting I
moisture. When it Is necessary to
leave a cart or wagon out of doors, let
some old blankets or pisses of carpet- I
lng be thrown over the wheels, or, |
bettor still, have on hand a piece of i
cheap eloth large enough to cover i
body, wheels and alL A light oarrlage
or wagon that is frequently driven on '
the road should have its rim painted 1
and the whole thing varnished atleaqt1

toward protecting It from the

The Irrigation Movement.
The irrigation movement is accumu-
lating a tremendous Impetus, whleh Is
visible not alone In the west, but
throughout the Country. The work of
organizing and agitating, through
national, interstate, state and county
associations, will go forward with re-
newed energy from now until the next
great International congress assembles
at Albnquerqne, New Mexico, in the
autumn of 1895. That this movement
is the hope of prosperity for millions
and that it will safe-guard our Insti-
tutions with a new bulwark of liberty.
In the form of small landed proprie-
tors, is the oonfldent expectation of
western men. Their appeal la to
patriotism and the best spirit of hu-
manity. They seek to build to the
credit of their country, to the good of
their race, to the glory of God.—Re-
view of Reviews.

Its New dun Was a Handy Receptacle fo*

If the Japanese do not sweep the Chi-
nese from the sea, then study, skill, de-
votion and experience go for nothing,
and there is no need for us to train onr
naval officers at all. One thing only
oould save the Chinese on the sea—the
enlistment by large promises of money
of European naval officers, In whoso
hands complete and unfettered control
should be placed. The Chinese seamen
are not wanting in courage, but, natur-
ally enough, they have no confidence
whatever in their leaders, and they
would probably fight well enough to
give their undoubtedly fine ships a
chance if they were well commanded.
Even in this case, however, the fear
would be that the ships have been al-
lowed to deteriorate to such an extent
that nothing like their best could be
got out of them.
I remember onoe being shown by a
Chinese naval officer over one of their
biggest ironclads, which was on a
cruise at the time, and therefore pre-
sumably in first-rate condition. I no-
ticed a gun carefully protected in a
oanvas oover. As we passed it, 1 asked
casually what it was. Tho officer ex-
plained with pride that it was a new
quick-firing gun, and called a quarter-
master to remove the covering. The
order was obeyed with evident re-
luctance, and when the gun was at
length exposed, it proved to be used by
one of the watches as a receptacle for
their “chow,” and was filled with chop-
sticks and littered with rice and
pickles. Of course I promptly looked
the other way, but it required no
knowledge of Chinese to interpret the
remarks of the officer to the quarter
master. No doubt the whole watch
went through the process of “eating
bamboo” the moment I was off the
ship; but the Chinese are incorrigible.
It would be discouraging to a Euro-
pean engineer whoshould be appointed
to a Chinese ship to find that if there
were any subordinate boiler small
enough for the purpose, it had probably
been used for stewing dog.—Contem-
porary Review.

“YOUR HEALTH, 8IRI"
Soma Pointer* In Barroom Ktlqoetto a*
It Rxlots In tho Month.
“Did you ever observe the different
evidences of cordiality among the bon
vivante of the southern states when
they come to drink one’s health in a
barrom or at a dinner table?" asked a
well-known Georgia politician.
Nobody had observed them.
“Well, the Kentuckian says as he
lifts the straight whisky to his lips:
‘Here’s at you, my boy!’ and his com-
panion nodding replies: ‘Drink
hearty,’ and tho drinks go down. The
Texan pours out his ‘liquor’ and sayB
carelessly, but politely withal: ‘My
dearest,' • and the other fellow says:
'Ssme here,’ and they drink. The
Georgian stands and talks a moment
before taking np the bottle, and talks
all the time, scarcely noticing his no-
tion as be pours out the rye and calls
for 'polltnaris. Then he stands and
talks a moment longer, for Georgians,
you know, are never in a hurry. When
finally he comes to think about the
drinks he lifts his glass and says: ‘Well,
here goes, chap!’ The other fellow re-
plies: ‘Let ‘er go,’ and she goes
on the spot. The man from Louisiana,
particularly if he comes from New Or-
leans. says In a nervous little spasm of
cordiality, ‘Long life to you,' and his
oompanlon, from Louisiana, too, an-
swers with characteristic wit, 'Send It
south, send it south,' and south Bhe
goes. The Virginian calls for ‘mint
juleps, and while you are making them
i'
give us a little whisky straight.’ Tak-
ing up the glass he bows his head after
the olden style and says, ‘Happy days,'
and the other fellow answers, ‘And
yours happier,’ and thus they all take
their drinks with wondrous graolous-
ness and with becoming cordiality. Of
oourse, there are some changes to these
phrases from lip to lip, but as a rule
they are the sentiments of the fellows
from the states as I have named them
when It comes to taking a drink. I
ought to know, for I reckon I have
taken drinks with about as many of
them as the next one.”—Atlanta Con-
stitution.

night opens, and he begins to look for
likely men. For several evenings I
watched a dozen large and feroolouz
man-eaters come down to the river for
their preliminary drink. Though in no
way banded together, they all came at
about the same time and drank at the
same spot I knew that each of them
had killed a soore of my workmen, be-
sides many other people, and 1 deter-
mined that I would take them into
camp and hang their rugs on my feneo.
“For several days I hit on no satis-
factory plan for accomplishing this,
but one afternoon while sitting on my
veranda watching the family cat and
her kittens disporting themselves amid
a bed of catnip which grew in my gar-
den, the seed for whleh I had taken
from this country, the whole thing
flashed upon me. Cutting an armful of
the plant, and taking a ball of twine, I
proceeded Immediately to the drinking
place of the tigers, and concealed my-
self In the tall grass.
“I had not been there above ton
minutes when a large and apparently
old tiger came down the path. He
paused in front of me and began lap-
ping up the water with hie tongue,
lie *
while hie tall stretched on the ground
behind him. I reached out, and with a
bit of string securely tied a good-sized
bunch of the catnip to the end of his
tall. He finished drinking and turned,
licking hie ehops and glaring about for
members of the Coffee-hoers federated
union. As he did so he caught sight
of the bouquet on the end of his tall.
He drew it around and sniffed at it.
Then he took a nip of It, and an ex-
pression whleh was almost a smile
spread over his face. He sat down,
took the whole bunch in his mouth,
and began chewing it, all the time
roaring harsh but pleased purrs out of
the corners of hla mouth.
“Gentlemen, I will not weary you,
but in a half hour I had fourteen royal
Bengal man-eating tigers sitting about,
with the ends of tkelr tolls in their
mouths ohewing catnip and purring at
the top of their voioea It was a new
experience for the beasts, the plant not
being indigenous to India, and for the
time being it brought on a state of eo-
stasy which completely deprived them
of their eelf-oontroL I picked up a
short stick and drove them before me
to my bungalow as If they had been
sheep, each animal keeping his tall In
his mouth. I guided them into an en-
closure back of my house, where, you
may be sure, my men took great pleas-
ure in despatching them. The four-
teen rugs I sent to friends in this
country."
“Why did you leave India?” asked
Robinson.
“A year later the Coffee-hoers' feder-
ated union act up the ery that killing
the tigers had allowed the ranks of the
workingmen to Increase to such an ex-
tent that It was Impossible longer to
make a living, so they boycotted me.
They oalled me a plutocrat who was
sucking the life-blood of the country,
and I had to leave in the night.”—Har-

Cured by Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.
Mrs. P. D. Hall, 217 Geueaae® St,
Lockport, N. Y„ says:
•• Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder-
ful curative effects of Ayer1! Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack ol La
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the longs, accom-
panied by en aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some ol these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs whleh
would seize me the moment I attempted
to lie down at ulght. After ton or twelve
euoh nights, I was
Nearly In Despair,
and had about decided to alt up all night
in my easy chair, and procure what
sleep I could in that way. It then oc-
curred to me that I had a bottle of
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I took a
spoonful of this preparation In a little
water, and was able to lie down without
coughing. In a few moments, I fell
asleep, and awoke in the morning
greatly refreshed and feeling much
better. I took a teaspoonful of the Peo-
toral every night for a week, then grad-
ually decreased the dose, and In two
weeks my cough wee cured."

A WISE DOCTOR.
Be Stood Not qn the Order of Ui* doing,
But He Got.
An English doctor, attached to the
eourt of a rajah, made himself almost
Indispensable to his highness. He had,
fortunately, also made a friend of hie
prime minister. On one occasion his
highness, being slightly Indisposed
had taken, by the doctor's advice, a
seldlitz powder, with which he ex-
pressed himself delighted. Its ten-
dency to “boil and fizz ready to blow
your nose off,” seemed to him to “seat-
tor coolness,” and he seemed so much
better after taking it that the doctor
felt himself justified In joining in a
hunting party. Presently a horseman
from the palace. In the confidential
employment of the grand vizier, gal-
loped up to him. “My master bids me
teU you,” he said, “that his highness
has broken open your medicine chest
and taken, first, all tho white powders
and then all the blue.” “Gracious
goodness,” cried the doctor, “there
were twenty-three of each of them!"
"My master adds,” continued the mes-
senger, dropping his voloe, “that yon
had better make for the frontier with-
out one moment's delay.” The doctor
put. spurs to his horse and never drew
rein tUl he was “out of the jurisdiction
of the court.”
THE GAME OF DOMINOES.
Two Monk* Invent*,! it to Bexnlla Away
tha Drearlnas* of Monastio USura
The inventors of the game of dom-
inoes were two monks at Monte Caas-
lno. One day the Inmates of the con-
vent were on the lookout for a method
of beguiling their leisure moments
without transgressing the rule of si-
lence to which they were subjecL Two
of their number hit upon the device of
playing with square stones covered
with dots, which they showed to each
other and combined In a certain order
agreed upon. The winner commun-
icated the result to his partner by pro-
nouncing In a low voice the lines of the
vespers, which commenced as follows:
“Dixit Domlnua domino meo.”
The new game soon sprang Into
favor, and was admitted to the rank of
lawful recreations It-bccame popular
outside the monastery walls, but the
people, with their scanty knowledge of
Latin, simplified the monastic formula,
only retaining the word domino, by
which the game was afterward en-
titled.
How Clam* TraveL
The clam is commonly taken for an
example of all that is unprogressive,
but he Is by no means a stationary
creature. Every man bred at the sea-
side knows how a clam left upon the
sand will utterly disappear by sinking
himself below the surface; but the
clam also has a forward movement,
and will travel thirty feet In the
course of a week. The large muscle of
the clam, which helps to make him In-
digestible, Is his single leg, and by the
aid of this he makes his progress
