As compared with other industries in re- gard to the ittnazing developments of the bet few yeers agriculture tees no oocasion to " take a backezettb." .For while it is the firat of industries in importance, it has been helped and aided by the bode and hand work of all the others, and the ineellanic, the inventor, the themist, in faetevery inan whose hand or mud is dagaged in work of any kind, is either directly or indirectly a contributor to the farmer. Fifty years ago, when it may be said the present era of atnazing mechanical develop- ment began the farmer had a poar plow, inade chieffy of wood, the hoe, mad the scythe only tor his tools, and very little else wasneeded, after the ex, to run a farm. Then the farmer was everything for himself, and was much as a packhorse might be aorapar- ed to the flying railroad train or the great steamship of to -day. But about that time the inventor and the mechanic began to put in their work, and improved plows led the van of A ;WONDERFUL CO-URSE oftnprovement. Then came the seed drill„ the cora planter, and other like machines or sowing and planting the seed in the bet- ter -prepared aoil. The increased orops call for =nothing better than the scythe, the sickle and the grain cradle, and these were tette;kly dis- placecl by the mowing maohine, the horse rake, and later by the hay loader end the hay elevator, by which the crop is now put in the barn without the touch ot e hand. The harvester, improved year by year, has led to the selabiuder, a machine as Mamma) ami effective as the women's sewing ma. chine, and which goes through the groat wheat fields \Vaal its wale swab, cuts the grain, gathers it, and binds it, into sheaves, as nimbly and knots the twine as tiginay as the atrongest human fingers can do, and then tosses the sheaf aside, taking twenty acres for its days work, aud thus doing the work of twenty men. Aud thus with gang plow, the modern harrow, the seed drill, and the self -binding !telemeter, the wheat is grown for 13 cents a bushel, or one:eighth tho cost of the former method of work, the whole oast of the grain being now reduced to that of the plowSng alone underthemetla I ods oflaity years ago. in productive value almost incredibly. It is due to the persistence of persevering men that a cow has been brought to yield more than a thousand ponnaa of butter in e year, which is only a small frection less thau three pounds every day for 365 days. • Aod.while mechanical ingenuity has been lightening the labors of the former and mak- ing thein at the same time more produotive, seientiac studeuts in the laboratory and the experimental fielde have made the most valuable and interestbag discoveries. The nature of the soil, of pleat, of the vitel fituctious of all the living things, have been diseovered, aud the new knowledge has opened a vast book in which the tiller ot the soil, the breedev of animals, the dairy- rcia,u, the fruit, grower, and all the induss trious workers in the broad field of agrioul. thee may read the secret processes by which the aoil and the coveriugatinosphere ftumisti all -the needs of organic life and make the earth • a fitting habitation for the 'human race. And all these improvements lead on from the first aud simplest to an equivalent pro- gress in intelligence and mental culture. The man who uses a n achine cannot be a mere machine himself ; he Must be a thiuk. er • and while the hand work is lightened cola made more efficient, the head work, the brain—the mind of the men—is developed and made more active, with the result that in every other part of life and work our race is raised in the scale of intelligence and the great end aud purpose of our existetece are satisfied more nearly than ever before. Abattt Weevils. An entomologioal authority says that the pea weevil is known to scientists as bruthus pisi, and is not moo]) larger than a plump flea. It is of a • rusty black color, with more or less white on the wing covens, and a distinct wbite spot on the hinder part of the theme. The beetles begin to appear about the time the peas are in blossom, and when the young pixie feral the female weevil lays her egga on the surface. These egga are a dark yellow in color, three times as long as wide, and larger anteriority than posteriority. Some times 15 or 20 are laid in a single pod. • But only one of them hatches or survives.

And. it is never touched. by the hand of a man, except that the engineer who controls the whole work touches a magic wand, what'll sets in motion all the various machinery by which the work is done. And it is for thus that, railroads have been built, reaching out gigantic arms embracing the whole world, and gathering in all this wealth of field end farm. The powerful steamships, by which the ocean is transformed into a mere tray for other rail. roads, are but different vehicles for all the comineree set in motion by the new agricul- ture, as different from the old as the reason- ing anOnal of the present is front the origin- al germ from which by gradual evolution be has grown to the ability to originate and conduct these vast enterprises which make up the work of mankind of the present day. But as the soil is brought under culture and the wealth of it is drawn upon; it itself bas to be fed, and these drafts repeid. And the chemist, and even the miner, and the smelter of iron, and the men who dig into the bowels of the earth for salt and other minerals are bray contributing to these NEEDS OF THE POIL. The use of artificial fertilizers and the menu factu e of them are by no means of steal account in this category. Millions of tons of phosphates from various sonrces are gathered, and not a small part of them is procured from the slag of the iron furnaces, and farmers owe that much at least, to the skillful inventors of new and improved methods of making iron and steel, by which the injurious phosphoric axed is taken from the iron and saved for the use of the farm- ers in growieg increased crops. And the -potash, which is needed to re- place -the thousands of tons of it removed from the laud each year in the form of wbeat and other food crops, is now almost wholly snpplied by the salt mines, of which it is a refuse and a waste otherwise. In fact there is not an industry which has any re- fuse or waste that does not supply some- thing for the use of the farmer. He feeds the world, but the world is contributing its share of work and material to enable him to do this. This mutual dependence of man upon man, glad interest upon interest, is not by any means to be ignored in this connec- tion, for as each becomes more highly devel- oped it is perceived how latch one is called upon to assist the other, and tho more in- tricate the new methods are the more it is that mutual aid becomes an absolute ne- eeseiey. In a thousand ways, the intelligent work of brain and hand helps the farmer and en- ables him to supply food and clothing to the world all the more ehea,ply for this help. The garden is cultivated by 'a variety of labor-saving tools, the dairy is eompletely remodeled by mew inventions of the most surpeising kind. Among them .the cream separator and the better extractor are being planted wttlt thepeas. They never lay theireggs on the surface of drypeas. Hence, if seed is kept over two years, the beetle dies without issue. If thrown in water, the boggy peas will float and may be thrown away. Careful experiment has shown that not more than 2 to 4 per cent, of these will grow. Different ineecticides will kill them, such as oomph orechloreform,ether and bisul. phitle of carbon, it the peas aro closely shut iu and submitted to the fumes of these ingredients, the best of which is the carbon sulphide, which is inflammable aud must be used with care. -The bean weevil, known LATE BRITISH NEWS. 1 Thirty-three million seven hundred thous sand passengers were °varied by the London Trantwaya Company duriug the past half year.

The same remedies aro applicable as for the pea weevil, except that of keeping the beaus over to the second year. Rye a Good Oren. E. S. Henry writes about the value of ' rye, and gtvieg his system of rotation. He grows rye after ensilage corn, and his plan is thus stated: I have tor years grown rye after ensilage corn in this manner: Im- mediately after cutting corn harrow thor- oughly with spring -tooth harrow, sow one bushel rye per acre, barrow again and roll down with heavy field roller. Grown in this way, rye is one of the most profitable crops upon the farm representing the largest re- turn veith the least labor. In southern New England to obtain the best results, rye should be sown front September 15th to October Leith ; sown earlier, unless fed down, it is apt to make too much growth before winter; town later, nob growth enough to prevent winter killing. Sown by September 15th it can be pastured in late fall without injury. Treated in this manner after corn a very heavy growth is obtained' withont additional fertilizers. The yield should average from 25 to 30 bushels of rye per acre—this with very little labor except for harvesting; withal the rye leaves the land in most excellent condition for stocking down, and this can be safely done with clover, prior to August lst. To obtaiu best results, stocking should be top- dressecl in late fall, With such treatment I bave just finished cutting nine acres of very heavy clover, averaging over two tons per acre, front stocking sown the Iitse day of July, 1891, and recent rains justify hopes of a fine aftermath. With me the lotation as stated, corn, rye, clover, etc., is excellent convenient and profitable; the result being not only heavy crops, but the eontinuous improvement and increase in the productive capacity of- the lauds so treated. Plants for Autumn. Many of your plants will require re -pot- ting before you take them in for the winter, writes Eben Rexford in the Ladies' Home amunal. Begin to get material ready now. You wdl find it a pleasant task to go into the woods and pastures with a basket and a trowel, and gather turfy matter and leaf mold from about old stamps and in the cor- ner of the fence. And while you are get- ting soil together for re -potting plants this fall be sure to get more than you used for that purpose, and store it away for winter use.. There will always be plants that need top dressing with fresh soil, and some will require an entire change of earth, and there will be new ones, and so a supply of pot- ting material will come handy all the year rothd, Don't wait until cold weather is at hand before you begin the work of re -pot - Ulm. Do it while you have warm and pleas- ant days, and the work will be done better than it would he in cold, raw weather. An- other reason why it should bo done now is: It will give your plants it chance to get es- tablished before it is time to take theminto the home. If you wait until the last mo- ment, they will not have recovered front the disturbance which their mots must undergo, anti they will go into winter quar- ters in a condition far from what it ought to be. Industry, tempei ance aed piety are the only means of present enjoyreent, and th only tree sr:threes of future happiness.—[B. R. Higdon. A BROKEN DOWN MAN, Defaulter Lee ot st.

Catai et tho Steaae The various parts of a stove require once ful treatment, if it is to be kept shining amt bright in all its rats, like the ateamengine of an expert engineer. Nothing shows mors prominently the slovenly house -keeper than an ill -kept and untidy stove.

It is easy enough to clean a i kitchen, but ahe only is a model house- keeper who keeps her kitchen clean. This implies continual care, especially of the !stove ; care of the aehes that they (la not . float about, and of the very blacking that it 'does not become a source of dirt. If, by 'some untoward accident, something is spill- Ied on the stove, it Omuta be cleaned off at once,and not allowed to burn into tbe stove. A heavy flannel rag should be kept on hand Ifor this purpose. In case a very obstinate grease-spot, .kerosene, a very little may be used. Where syrup, or anything of a sugary nature is spilled, it is very difficult to take it up, and it is probably the best way to let it bum to a char and then take it up. All these eases aro unhappy, untoward accidents. The expertm housekeeper noes not allow suca accidents to happen often, ,It ie uuavoidable that a little grease should fall on the stove in broiling, unless there is a regular broiling arrangement attached to the stove. In such a 0.80 the grease must be wiped off the instant the broilieg ceases, with a 'heavy flannel cloth kept for the par - Fete. Othertviee it will burn in and make an ugly and unseemly stain, But all the other accidents are easily avoidable. In blacking the stove at the monthly blacking, remove the nickel work. This is easily done, as it is merely screwed on. Black the stove thoroughly, dampening the blacking, if convenient, with a little coffee rather than water. After applying the wet blacking with one brush to a small portion , of the stove, polish it off with a dry brush, i and after the whole stove has been polished 1111 this way, ruband polish it With a chamois, kept for the purpese, ora Mean cotton cloth. This last process removes the dust of the blacking. No patent blackings, which have been invented to do away with the labor of polishing, can be recommended as durable. They require to be continually renewed, and do the place of the Old-fashioned b Ono of the most carious incidents of the late election occurred in the Bermondsey Division, when a boy of fourteen recorded his vote, To every one's astonishment he walked boldly into tho booth and calmly demanded hie ballot paper.

Each guest had before hint a map of the region between the Congo and Lake Tchad contalmeg the itin- erary of the explorer. leizon's chief dig. tinction ia that he has solved the question of the water parting between the Niger and the Congo basins. He has followed from its source to its mouth the Sanga River, and has proved that it ie one of the most important affiw nts of the Congo. It empties into the Congo not far from the equator, comes from the far north, and its head staters are near those of the Benue, the greatest tributary of the Niger. alizon has shown that this river is about 1,000 miles in length, and ranks in impor- tance fourth among the Congo tributaries, the Itiobangi, the Kassai, and the Lom- ami alone surpassing it. Another fact which makes alizon's jeer. ney conspicuous is that he succeeded in push ing his way entirely across the great coun- try of Adamewa. He says it comprises a succession of elevated plateaus, end is cer- tain to have a great future. Its altitude of 4,500 to 7,500 feet makes it a very healthy region, and a large part of it, Mizon says, can be colonized by whitepeople. Its popu- lation is largely composed of the greet Fula people of the Soudan, who are farmers and cattle raisers. Maion says Adamawie ex- tends further toward the south than had been supposed. In this great region Mizon found that the important commercial centre of Gnandere, whieh was knotvn only vague- ly, is a large and picturesque town, well fortified, and having from 20,000 to 25,000 inhabitants. Mizon crossed the large terri- tory of the Sultan Tibati, who is a vassal of the Sultan of Adamawa and whose country had never before been visited by a white man. He also visited the large market of Gaze, who3e name was known, although it lias never been possible before to place the town on the maps with approximate cor- rectness. Pat's Reply Conviunsi Kim.

About the lst of September a pair of hairy wood- peckers made their appearance and fed daily on the grubs. In the course of that month and the next over a dozen of these birds were added to the number, and by their industry on this particular pest at- tracted the attention of all who passed. Suffice to say that when March came nob- a cocoon was to be seen in those places where the branches were literally white with -the before.
