The farmer loops back with wonder and yet with great "reminiscent interest," to the tine when bay WAS made by htmrl with• out the aid of any machinery except the soythe and the small hand rake. Aud the hand rake, what a ohnnay affair it was, compared with the present rake 1 The boy raking rafter the cart dial not need to be told to be lively ; he had to bo to ,+. keep up. When a tooth was broken a new ono had to be whittled out, perhaps hurried. lye and when litany teeth were replaced in this way, tlio rake was heavier and dragged harder than before. The first improvement to help the farmer, or the boy that raked after cart, was a rake given different names indifferent places, In ono plane it was called the bull rake." It was a large hand rake to drag on the ground. With this rake raking after cart I was easier. The first horse rake in ono part of On. tario, at least, wars a giant affair, with a long rope at eaoh end. It dragged on the ground, and could draw together a load of hay, but it had to be turned over and pulled out of the hay by hand, It hindered about as much as it helped. As soon as the drag revolving rake came, it was considered the height of invention. It was a good rake but hard for the roan who followed 11 after a fast walking horse guided by reins around the raker's nook. On ane farm this rake remained long after the riding rake Dame. The members of the farmer's family—his boys—pleaded for the new make, bub the farmer said the old rake would do a while longer as he did the rak- ing himself usually. One clay the farmer left a sober horse attached to the rake in front of the house while he event in for a drink. The horse took fright atsomething and struck into the .field and went across • the Iota at full speed the teeth of the rake flying at every step. That was the end of that kind of rake on that farm. Then come the riding rake, or the rake we ride, and it is natural that we should think that nothing better will come. But what do we know about it? To -day the mower cute in the morning and the hay is in the barn by night. The young farmer may wonder how his father finished haying before snow fell with only the old implements at hie command. ' Per- haps the fernier was a little later than to. day, but not much. He had mowers, and if these mowers had been told that any machine wan coming that could " take down" a field of grass quicker than they oould, they would have made merry over ib. Well, there was some "fun" in those days, as well as hard work. The help the farmer had was help—farmer's sons, brawny mea, who took pride in their work—iubeiog good mowers—good at any kind of farm work, who could whet a s _ytheto a razor edge, and who dared any man to clip their heels in a mowing bout. ltwhs a good sight to see half a dozen men mowing in the cool of the morning, swing- ing across the field in unison, all the scythes 9Cnging the same tune. When they turned the land every scythe came out glistening in the sun. A handful of grass wet with dew swept across the blade and then the whet- stone or the rifle began to play. But it was hard work for the boy who did the spreading, if he had o keep up with several mowers. The farmer's boy of to -day may be thankful that the mower is both mower and spreader, and that the tedder helps out where the grass needs turning even after the mower. In forks there have been great changes, particularly in the makes and adaptability. There was a time when a three -tined fork was ahnost a curiosity. Bub the past is past, and with respect to tools, the farmer is -glad it ie past, but it is ple&aant to review ib, for by contrast it helps to make the pres- ent more cheerfal and promising. Teaohing a Young Oalf to Drink. 11 is an old saying that" one man may lead a horse to water, but twenby cannot make him drink." The same might be ap- plied with equal force to a calf, substituting milk for water. Gentleness is one of the most importanb requisites on a farm, in so far as the treabmenb of all animals found there is concerned, There are some farm hands who, apparently possessing less sense than the animals themselves, try to accom- plish by brute force what abate persuasion ' would do far more effectively. I have seen title more clearly exemplified in teaching a calf to drink then iu anything else. The method of a hired man I have in mind was to seize the animal in both his arms, sbrad. dle its body, holding the head of the crea- ture between his legs as if it were in a vise, and with two fingers thrust aa far down the calf's throat as he possibly could get them, and the forefinger and thumb pushed up iia nostrils to their full 'length, endeavor, by all the brute strength that he possessed, to force the animal's head into the milk pail, until the perspiration was pouring down his bronzed cheeks, and in tins way try to compel the creature to drink. Naturally, any animal would resent such treabment. The calf will not be coerced into doing any- thing against its will.' It often marred to me that if the person adopting such a method would pause a little in his work, and'think how he would like to seen mother using her infant ohild in like manner ; Ghat is, if it refused to drink out of nature's usual' nurse, and she were to use all the animal force at her command to make it drink, he would be more genbls in his ef- forts, A plan whioh I have auocessfuliy used, and seen others use with the same effect, was' to get astride the animal, exercise a little persuasion to bring the oalf to the milk buckeb, then, taking hold of its head . gonbly, place two fingers in its mouth, turning them slightly upwards, and leaving an open space between. If the calf will not bend its head, draw the pail towards the (calf, 'let ib taste the milk, and it will commence sucking. Now gradually remove the fingers, and the young animal will con- tinuo drinking for a moment, until it cud• only remembers that it ought to have some. thing in its mouth besides the milk, and will follow your hand until theca improvis- ed subsbitutos aro again scoured. By and by it will get aoottstomed to sip without, any extra help, and the work is satisfaotors fly accomplished. I have had a young calf drink alone the first time I tried it, by adopting the above method ; and, to ohm how the animal nature will become inured to anything, after the calf had commenced to help himself, no sooner did he see me come into the barn whore he was, than he at once placed himself in position between my legs end sipped his daily rations, Sometimes this was not agreeable, when he would give mo a slight nudge with his head indioatrug that Ito wos not Rotting itis food fate enough. Speaking of this eemindor in tete shape of a gentle troth with his head, it seems to meas:though the mother oow often tines rebuked the Tittle ono for this ecu• duet, neve heard her give out a peculiar ory when this was being oontinuod, 88 if to say "behave yourself," when it mimee diotoly mimed, As to the milk to be given to a sucking calf i for about a week after the mantel lied been taken front its mother, I gave it new unlit ; after that I mixed a little of this milk with about two 'inerts of skim- med milk, which we brought back from the creamery, and on this mixture had no ditli- cully in raising fine young stock up to the time when sin milk was neceaanry and grain food WAS given, To Oure a.Siolting florae. There is no infallible euro applicable to all kiokera alike, as molt depends on the temper of the animal, ite peat habits and esporl0nee, and not a little on the man who undertakes the cure, Some nervous mares given to twitching, holding the rein under he tail end kielting, may be cured by sim- ply driving with an overdraw cheek, kept rather short, and by rolling the crupper with a strip of flannel until it is three mob - es thick and will nob anew the toil to settle down closely enongh to hold the rein tightly, or fixing the tail to the breadline straps at each side so as to prevent it from getting over the rein may suffice. If it is from nervous sensitiveness when touched on the quarters or hind limbs by harness, shafts, whip or hand, Magner's method of turning in a narrow circle to render the horse dizzy and eubmissivo may be tried. A strong hitching strap, or stent hemp cord, is carried from one ring of the bit, bask on one side of the body, through an opening made in the hair above a knot tied on the end of the tail, and book through the other ring of the bridle. This may be drawn so tightly as to bring the nose near to the tail—nearer in the less nerv- ous animal, and not so near in the more nervous—and tied with a running noose which may be loosened in a mom nit by pulling on the fore end. Or in place of tying, it may be held in the nand tightly, but ready to be slackened when necessary. Most horses in these circumstances will turn rapidly around toward the side to which the head and tail are turned, and the more rapid the turning the sooner the animal will become dizzy, and will fall on the opposite side if the process is too long oon- tinued. If the horse declines to turn, or turns slowly, he may be made to do it more actively by striking the nose gently with the whip. It is not necessary, however, to whirl hirn till he falls; be need only be made giddy. After a few turns, touch his quarters rump, thigh, hooks and shanks with a light polo. tie may kink, or try to, at first, bub the pole must be applied lightly again and again, and he will soon dismiss all thought of kicking. The pole must be repeatedly brought in contact with all parts of the hind limbs, inside and out, until he no long. er fears or resents it, but takes it as a mat- ter of course. As the effect of turning to the one side la liable to be temporary, it la beat to loosen the horse in a few minutes, tit him on the outer side, and let him turn for a while in that direction. The pole can now be brought more effectively in contact with the whole of the other hind quarter and leg, so that the horse becomes educated to bear it at all points without fear or retaliation. In the case of a very nervous horse this may sometimes appear to fail, the animal getting into -a nervous paroxysm in whioh velentretaliatory kick• ing becomes involuntary. Yet even these, after one good lesson, will subside when al- lowed to stand and cool off, and when again treated, a day or a week later, will submit quietly and with great docility, The rule with an ordinary horse is to continue the lesson fifteen to thirty minutes until the watchful, resentful eye becomes quiet and subdued and the tense musoles of the fame relaxed, the ears, eyelids and lips placid and the general expression calm, ex- cept as manifested in the hurried breathing and perspiration. But if after a severe les- son the animal shows only a nervous terrur or fury, it ie better to suspend the lesson and wait some days for a second. When subdued the horse may be allowed to smell and examine harness and wagon, and may be carefully harnessed and hitched, at first into shafts, or directly to a wagon, encour• agement and reward being made with sugar or apples, and a confident, commanding but kind voice and manner being employed. Several lessons are usually demanded, and it may be needful to drive in harness simply and then in shafts before he can be trusted In a wagon. It is all important that every- thing be done safely, that a due stage of submission be reached before the animal be placed where he eau be tempt- ed to repeat hie vice, as a relapse will only fix the habit more firmly, and give him to realize that the control secured by the turn- ing operation is only temporary. In short, the animal must not be educated so that he shall discover the limits of his master's power. Throughout the 'whole process the horse must be in the hands of a bold, judi- cious, kind trainer. Nervousness, lack of confidence, hesitation, and above all hasty temper, or uncalled for abuse, is only too likely to undo all he would otherwise ac- complish by the most scientific methods. Mating Partridge Coohine• In addition to the requisite shape and .abundance of plumage, the stripe of the haekle and saddle and the solid blank of the breast in the male, and the rich mahogany ground ostler with the sharp distinct and aoourate penciling& in the female, aro the points especially sought after by lovers of this' fine variety. To produoe these birds in the shortest time and the greatest per - faction, fanciers have resorted to double matings. To produce the males, a Dock just auoh as is desired to be produced is mated to Targe, shapely hens, with as little body paneling as possible, and of a darker brown than the desired shade tor the .ex- hibition hen. To produce the females, a cools having a laced, splashed or mottled breast 1s selected, and mated to the beaut.i- ful mahogany oolored and distiuctlypencil- ed hens, It the nook is of a brigltb red rather than of a very deep red eo muoh the better, There are those who profess to have strains of Partridge Coohins which require but a single mating to produce ex• hibition birds of both sexes, bub the pram. tioe of nearly all the large breeders is to melte the separate matings for each sex, One can breed some very good exhibition specimens from a single pen by using a laced -breasted male, and females of the two styles indicated above. This, indeed, is often clone by those who have nob the room for or do not Dare to take the trouble and oars of two pens. Care of Mares With Suckling Colts, Well ordered Work is not an injury to mares with suckling colts, but oondibiota arise in the rush of form labor, which make great cars necessary in order to avoid serioue injury bout to niers and colt, Overheating the dam by violent exceeded in alto Middle of the day is oto of these, but it does, not represent all the clanger. In the hurry 01 his Work the drive of she team f0 ofbeu in• dined to a fractious handling of his horses, with a resulting use of the whip and harsh words and teres that fret and oftongreatly I excite the nominee system of mares in milk, the nervous system being partlenlatey sensitive, at rite time, to tlisturbing canoes. It is very well known to intallipor,1 dairy. mien that harshness, in the treetlnent of cows, is at once followed by a decrease 111 the quantity both of milk sad butter, and that, too, where the !mealtime is not ace compailed by blows. What, may be thought then of the effete, upon the miler -producing organs of the mere of the use of the Melt, the brutal jerking upon the horse's mouth reins, and the rough language that ono toe often notices in the driving of horses? Humanity and a love for dumb animals ought to insure kind reatment of all aha animals upon the farm but if that idea does not carry snlllolent weight with some, self- interest ought to sono in and show that un- kindness mkindness means &positive loss in dollars and Dents. It is often, however, not a question of real brutality on the part of unkind drivers of horses. 'The drivers aro themeoie'es perhaps tired and fretted, and thoughtlessly and imppuleively a blow of the lash is given, or the harsh commands uttered that would not be given or uttered ander other ciroam- stances, In such eases the driver must keep a cheek upon himself as well as upon his horses, Maros in milk are more ensoeptible to (Mangos of temperature or to sudden chills from chinking freely of very cold water when heated. In all ways brood mares must be treated with extra care and kind- ness, if their own future usefulness is to be conserved, and the thrifty growth of the foal assured. They should be given a nourishing supply of food that will provide abundant sustenaneefor the dam, and an ample enpply of milk for the colt. Good pasturage and a liberal ration in which bran or ground oats predominate will be found to yield most satisfactory results. PECULIAR PEOPLE OF HONDURAS They Will Not Mix With 011ier Races and Dave no Money or Their Own, " Originally from Africa, they still main• tain their tribal relations and singular cus- toms. Physically they are a fine race, being noel black and very muscular. Their tan. guage is hard and guttural, its vocabulary consisting of only about 700 words. They can count up to three in their own tongue, and above that number count in. French. It is almost impossible to learn their inn. guage. They aro nomadic, and go from Owe to place along the coast. Some fa• flies have half a dfat n• homes in as many villages. Some of the young women are comparatively good.looking, and all have a most graceful and oreot carriage. They carry water pitchers on their heads very skifully. "The women do all the work, and carry burdens on their backs that would crack the vertebra of a strong white man. The 'nen are idlers. The women have no stand- ing in the family relations, and the wife does not cab with her husband, nor do any of the females with the men. They are as much at home in the water as on land, and the women paddle the dugout canoes. The babies learn to swim almost before they can walk, Aa a race they are wonderfully cleanly, bathing several times a day, and when the morning's work is over they are very neat and clean in their scant attire. ' They are very filial, however, and when ones goes fishing, the first fish caught is for the grandfather, the next for the father, and ao on down the list until the fisherman comes to himself. They will not sell their fish to the whites or other natives until their own families are supplied. In brief, they are one of the few races in the world who have refused to intermingle with other people, British Honduras is a crown colony, and of its 30,000 population there are about 300 whitest, mainly English. There is an American colony of about twenby people at Toledo, engaged in sugar growing and rum making. They are mainly from Kentucky, and it is a prosperous colony. The country is healthful for a topical country, and there has not been a case of yellow fever in sever- al years. The principal product is mahog. any, and it will be years before the forests are exhausted. Great quantities of dogwood are also shipped to Europe. We ship only bananas and plantains to the United States, shipping last year 728,000 bunches of bane. nes and plantains to New Orleans. The great problem with us is labor, and we im port natives from the West Indies. We need immigration, and Sir Alfred Maloney, the governor, is a progressive man, and is doing much to bring us to the notice of the vrorld. We have no railroads beyond a tramway drawn by mules, penetrating the plantations for about six miles. There isnot a telegraph instrument or line in the prov- ince, and only a short telephone line be. tweed government buildings. We have no money of our own, but use the silver of sur• rounding republics, which is so depreoiated that $5 in American money is equal to $8.00 of the money in use." The Branding of Cheese. The Controller of Customs has issued in- structions which will ensure in future the careful branding of United States cheese brought into Canada for shipment to Great Britain. Nearly all Amerloan oheese which passes in transit through Canada to Europe is shipped from Montreal, and a special official of customs at that port will be detail- ed to see to the proper branding of the United States product as such. This officer will be in charge of the shipments from the time they are branded at Montreal until stowed away on chipboard. The new regulations will make it impossible for in- ferior American cheese to be foisted upon the English public as the Canadian product. There is abundant evidence In the past that our cheese makers have suffered from the feet that the inferior product of the United States has been palmed off on umeuspeobing English purchasers as the genuine Canadian article, The Masher's Mistake.

The Anllfrod emu' Evincing Ilr•eut tulcrest in the Matter. IL Is understood that cable communica- tions bitter within the past few days passed between the Government of Canada and tltoam of different Australaaian oolonlee with a view to united action in the matter of the new direct steamship line between Sydney and Vancouver. A contract, had been en - tercel into between H'udclant, Parker k Co., for a direct service, this (contract is only of a tentative ohmmeter e,ovorhig a period of 12 months. The amount of the subsidy authorized by the Parliament of Canada must not exceed ,l 1U,000 etolingper annum bat the steamship company claim that this will not by any means recoup them for the enormous expense of placing on the route such splendid vow steamers en the Miavera and the Warrimoo are. Mr. Huddarb is asking for an annual auheidy of 1;00,000 sterling. Tits is a far larger sum than Canada will pay. The Australasian Gov- ernments are just as much interested in the route as we aro, and Han arrangement could be brough t about whereby the subsidy would not exceed 1150,000por annum, half of which would be paid by the Australasian oolonies and the remainder by Canada, this might be considered an equitable division. In ad- dition, it is euggoatoci that the Imperial Government plaoo the vessels on the bet of war cruisers in the sane manner that the C.P.R. steamers to China, and Japan are subsidized. The two Australian vessels, it need hardly be stated, would as onuisors Id. 111 the requirements of the home Govern- ment in all respects. It is understood that. Mr. Huddart, the principal partner of the firm, is on the Itliewera, which is now on route to Vancouver. Should such be the case he will doubtless arrive here by the middle of June, when the whole matter will be gone into by Mr. Rowell and himself. MAKING DYNAMITE. A. Dangerous °censulion 115'W belt Wsiueu are Engaged. Making dynamite is a strange occupation for women, yet they are largly employed in it in ,many European communities. The manufacture of dynamite for beneficial uao in mining and engineering work, as well as for military purposes, is carried on largely in ahnost every part of Europe. Trance has notable factories ; At Ablon, near Ron - flour, on the Seine estuary, at Paulillness, near Port Vendres, in the south of Franco, and at Ougny, not far from Moret, in the department of the Seine -et -Marne. These establishments producey early over 25,000,- 000 dynamite cartridges. One of the earli- est that were set in operation is that found- ed in Switzerland twenty years ago by Xavier Bender at the instance of the late Louis Fevre, the chief engineer of the St. Gothard Railway tunnel, to PROVIDE THE POWERFUL INSTRUDIENT which modern science has invented for pene- trating mountains of granite and other hard rooks with a facility and economy of labor that could not have been imagined in form. er ages. A visit to the factory, at Isleton, at the lower end of the Isenthal, in the vicinity of Fluelen, the port on the Lake of Uri, so web known to many English tour- ists, is seldom granted without special' recommendation. The mechanical opera- tions do not appear to be complicated, and are mostly performed by Swiss women and girls withthe aid of simple machines worked by hand on tables. Dynamite, as most people are aware, is a powder which can be made into cakes, or may be converted into a sticky paste called " explosive gum," or be enveloped in cases of paper or paste- board on metal to form cartridges whioh are commonly used in blasting rooks or mineral ores by inserting them in the HOLES BORED \t-ITI5 A DRILL. As the compressed powder, which, being of an oily cousistenoe, now assumes compare. five solidity, issues from a tube or cylinder, in the shape of a sausage or macaroni, it is cut by a woman into equal lengths of about three inches. Eachplace is then carefully taken up by another woman, who wraps it in oiled cartridge paper, which she fastens, oloaing both ends and covering it to exclude wet ; the tremendous little instrument is now complete. There is also a hand mill for making the paste or "explosive gum" =bridges. Thts machine emits two solid lengths of the material simultaneously, which are cut up, wrapped and fastened in the cartridge -oases and taken away to be packed in boxes for commercial disbribu• tion. Tine fabrioetion of the dynamite stuff it- self, also performed at the Isleton factory, is terribly dangerous, but' ouatom and strict rule give trio operators a sense of or- dinary safety. The Hawaiian Death Prayer. Upon the minds of such a priest -ridden people as the Hawiians were, while under their ancient form of religion, it was but natural that superstition should gain a rooted hold. The most ourioua and effec- tive belief to which they were mads subject, was that a man can be prayed to death— & belief that survives among the natives to the present day. For the sitcoms of the tragical death•prayer it was necessary to obtain seine hair or a piece of finger nail of the intended victim. A priest was then employed to use incantation and prayer for his destruction. The efficacy of prayer was terribly illustrated in these cases, and the results prove how deeply superati• tious fear was implanted in the Hawaiian's heart. Always informed of the doom that the priest was invoking upon him, the vie- tiro generally pined away and died, There is a story current that an English- man in the service of Kamebameha I., hay- ing ayi.ng incurred the displeasure of a priest, the latter proceeded to "remove" him by death -prayer process. The Anglo-Saxon, however, sob up au opposition altar in de- rision, and jokingly proclaimed that he in- tended to pray the priest to death. Alarmed at the, threat and overwhelmed et the Mum of his own incantations, the sorcerer died, proving by his death his faith in his religion.—T.11. Carey in the Californian.

It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar.. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful, Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative , agent has long been known by a few of The most learned physicians, who have not brought its merits and value to the knowledge of the general public. This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of'indi. gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is. also of the greatest value in the cure of alt forms of .c -,?;fling health fraln whatever cause, It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, anti by its great curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent yahoo in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs than any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nerv- ousness oi' females of all ages.

Nine -tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges- tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments, disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not con- tain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous de- rangement. ORAwlroosremLE, IND•, Aug. 20. '8$. To the Orate Soath, American.
