AGRICULTURE IN OTHER LANDS.
A school of practical agriculture has
been established in the province of
Buenos Ayres, under direction of the
Argentine government. This is the
first institution of the kind in that
country, and great hopes are enter
tained of its elevating influence on ag
riculture in Argentina.
Dried peat or turf, cut from bogs, is
largely used for fuel throughout Eu
rope. Some of it is molded much as
bricks are, and it is also pressed into
compact balls. One hundred pounds
■of peat have a heating capacity equal
to fifty pounds of hard coal, or to near
ly one hundred weight of wood or soft
coal. ,
Tea culture in British India and
Ceylon has proved quite successful
from a cultural point of view, but its
commercial success depends upon in
creased markets for the product.
America and Australia are regarded
with interest by Indian and Ceylon
planters as possible buyers of their
•urplus.
An Agricultural Organization socie
ty has been formed in Ireland, largely
through the efforts of Hon. W. L.
Plunket, son of the archbishop of Dub
lin. The avowed aims and purposes of
the society are somewhat similar to
the grange of the American farmers,
and is full of promise for the agricul
ture of Ireland.
NEWSPAPER WAIFS.
I know of several Afro-Americans
wot don’t keer io' fried chicken—but
dey have bin daid a long time.—Puck.
When some men lose their tempers it
would be well for them if they never

world don’t you take a bath, man?
Cleanliness is next to godliness, you

ABOUT THE WEATHER.
On the west coast of North America
and Europe the heaviest rainfalls are
in winter; in the interior of the United
States and Europe, in summer.
The winter of 1812 and 1813 was one
of the most severe ever known in Rus
sia, a fact which partially explains the
terrors of the retreat from Moscow.
In northern Europe Nordenskiold
found fresh fallen snow impregnated
with a dust of carbon and iron, such as
could only have come from meteors.
Is 1771 an unprecedented drouth pre
vailed throughout India. Scarsely any
rain fell for a year, and hundreds oi
thousands died of famine, whole dis
tricts being depopulated.
In 1658 the winter in North Europe
was so cold that Charles X. of Sweden
crossed the Little Belt from Holstein
to Denmark with his whole army, in
cluding cavalry, artillery and baggage
train.
In 1887 and the following year a se
vere drouth spread over North flteina.
The loss of life was appalling, it Wing
estimated by the Chinese government
that 9,500,000 lives wore lost from
famine.
POULTRY POINTS.
x Apples are excellent for geese in
winter.
Half-blood Brahmas make good sit
ters and good mothers.
Poultry cannot bo kept healthy on
Wet ground or in damp houses.
The goose should have good pasture.
The cow does not need grass more than
the goose does.
' The farmer or village poultry-keeper
should have a good poultry house. It
is half the battle.
Beef blood la highly recommended
as food for poultry. It is not fed of ton
er than twice a week.
In building a poultry house make it
convenient in every respect. Have the
grain bins, vegetable supply and water
handy.
Never pluck geese too close to win
ter. In the south they can be plucked
three times a year; in the north not
more than twice.
