Dalrying and Crop-Growing. Philadelphia Record: Dairging, though ussociuted with the growing of crops, is a distinet occupation, as some dairymen buy nearly all the food con- sumed by the stock, with the exception of pasturage; but the main object of dairying should be to save all that is not appropristed by the stock for the production of beef, veal, milk or butter, and in order to do this they must use the manure to produce food another year. Thus, under general farming, the dairy and crop growing ave joint occupations, the one dependent on tho other. There are hundreds of farmers who have gradually grown wealthy at dairying, though they really derive but little more from the milk and butter sold than the amount expended for food us properly all ecrops grown and con- surmed by the stock should be charged to them; but the farmer's increase of wealth is in the improvement of his farm. If he do not derive large profits from his sales his land I be gradmlly growing in tility and its value increasing. This isa feature of dairying thatis often overlooked. The manure does not re- ceive that consideration it deserves, but it is equal to a certain amount of ex- penditure made upon the farm, and always returns more than its equi ent.” Where butter is the princ ct sold off the farm the loss of f n the butter is almost nothing, it consisting mostly of carbon, which is not a valuable element of the soil, and whivhiswprlimlwplz\ nts by the air. This is to infer, however, that the skim milk is fed to pigs and sold as pork, in which shape itrealizes a higher price. When cropsare grown and sold off the farm, asis the case in wheat-grow- ing, there isa constant drain of nitro- gen, potash and phosphoriciacid, which must be annually replaced, or the farm will in a few years be incapable of longer producing such crops; but w food is purchased and fed to the dairy cows it is equivalent to the purchasing of the fertilizers also, as the whole re- mains on the farm, in the shape of man- ure, unless sold as milk, beef or v the feeding of pigs. however, being additional occupation. The scienc farming consists in combining all oc pations of t ter with w v to enriching the farm and gradually i creasing the yield until the fullest pacity be reached, pe « A Pruit and an Ice House.

The two ideas will work together well.

A supply of ice will greatly aid in preserving the summer fruits, by simply putting a piece in the fruit-room daily. To be able to keep fruits fresh for a long period is a source of profit, and to have a supply of ice during the hot weather is a luxury so cheaply obtained that it is simply aston- ishing any farmer does without it, Hints and Suggestio Ducks gener commenc laying early.

A pure bred fowl of one of the egg laying breeds, such as Langshahs, Hou- dan, ete., will lay from twenty-five to fifty more eggs in a year than the dung- hill.

How the M tu strous Brutes are Cap- ed Alive in India Longman’s Magazine: The first thing to be done isto find the herd of ele- phants which it is intended to hunt. Its position bas been previously ascertained as nearly as possible, but of course a fow days, or a few hours may have made great changes, and some sudden a may have driven them all right away. or the herd may have been divided, or it may turn out that another herd has approached it and may be induced, by some adroit mancuvering, to join it. The herd having been found without its being alarmed, the next thing is to sur- round it at a distance by a light cordon of men. and to guide 1ts unconscious steps toward the kheddah in which it is to be enclosed and captured. The gederal idea of a kheddah may be tuken from an open pair of compasses, of which the round head or hinge represents the enclosure into which the elephants are to be driven; while the outspread arms of the compass apresent the long lines of obstacles or res, by which the elephants are pre- vented from straying to one side or the others so that they advance through the purposely undisturbed jungle in the center, between the gradually converg- ing lines of obstacles, the kheddah or inclosure already mentioned. The ecle- phant is a timid and cautious animal, If 1t meets with any chopped branches of trees, or indications of the presence of man, or anything to which its ¢ recustomed, it will not advanc it irection. The real difficulty of the hunters lies in making their lateral lines of obstacles sufficiently obvious to the elepl without = ularming them too much. At this early stage of the roceed- ings not a man should show himself, lost the wild elephants should be fright- ened and make a stampede. The ani- mal should be left to pride himself his own cleverness at having dete signs of danger, in consequenc which he advances in what seems a safe direction. But as the devoted herd gets further and further inro the funnel of the converging lines, much stronger measures have to be adopted. Consid- erable pressure is put on them from be- hind, to urge them on in the direction; and simultaneously the visible obstacles along the sides have to be much strengthened and effectively guarded, to prevent the herd fr breaking through them. Asthe ele- shants actually approach the kheddha itsell there is no longer any conceal- ment on the part of the hunters. The firing of gunsand the boeating of drums, and loud shouts and noises. with long lines of fires, made out of the dri and brushwood, which have bee ted for this purpose, compel the uflivighted animals to push onward, until they finally enter the kheddha it- self, where at first all seems compara- tively silent and safe. With regard to the actual kheddah or inclosure, in which the elephants are captured, a few words may sufl Many people may have seen the models of the Ceylon elephant “kraals™ at the late ln(lu-l'«vlm\iu{ exhibitiol They showed o fine post-and-rail fence of roughly hewn wood, surrounding a space in which the captured clephants stood secured to trees. This, however, ly gives an adequate idea of the i’ kheddah. It is, of course, sur- rounded by & fence; but the posts and rd are huge treces and large branches, and stoutly inter- twined, and strongly supported by groins to prevent them from yielding to the rush of the elephants trying to escape from their captors. And if there is time to dig it, a comparatively small ditch inside the fence adds greatly to its strength. The elephant sees the newly dug earth and fears a pitfall, Its feet sink into mud and water, and the force of its charge against the fence itself is thus broken Presently, when all the herd have en- tored the inclosure, a ponderous gate is closed bhehind them: and this gate has to be stoutly fortified, and also defended by a number of men, firing 5t in the face of any elephant that :s at them., Inthe same way, the cirele of the kheddah is lined on its outer side with men, firing gunsand brandishing torches to repel the charge of the phunts, until the whole herd morally und physically collapses, and trics to shelter itself in whatever cover may still be found from the trees and jungle left standing in the inclosure, —— Dou’t irritate your lungs with a stub- horn cough, when a pleasant and effec- tive remedy may be found in Dr. J, H.

This lack of interest is-solely due tothe emas- culation that has been going on for that length of time in everything relating to the game—from the size of the tables to the rules of the players. Every techni- cal change which has been made, from the time when the side pockets were abolished to the introduction of cushion curroms has been framed with the spe- cial intention and design of repressing those features of the gume of most inter- est tothe public, and to restrain the players by surrounding their actious with restrictions of every sort. C.There has Lardly been an “improve- ment” in the game that has not nar- rowed the limitations of the player and made his work more monotonous. Those who tinkered with the game received ample warning of what the result of their meddling would be.and the proph- ecy has come true, for a billiard match under the latest rules is not only a tedious gume, but is apt to be tainted with the odor of illegitimate specula- tion. Thus, instead of progressing, the game has steadily gone back, or as it is now being played—cushion-carroms with o handicap—it has ome the sport of the book-mal; a verita- ble gambling performance in which some of the most rer able the world has produced, instead of worl ing to%aise the game and their fellow- s, have sulfered themselves to be ragged down to the level of the bluck- legs who infest the billiard rooms. H ing rejected every invented shot which has added variety or zest to the game, these kings of the cue seem content with a specie®®f the game which is monotony itself und in whichno | has been made since it wi i more than seve '8 ago.
