MEXICAN SOLDIERS. THK1H GREAT POWERS Off ENDURANCE ON THE MARCH. Toiling Along the Hot Plateaus for Honrs at a Stretch. In the Mexican service as in our own, tho garrisons throughout the country are changed in due order from post to post, so that the soldier's life is pretty evenly divided between the hard places and tho easy ones. Even tho lard places, however, in some respects are not so hard as those to which our own troops arc accus- tomed; for Mexican garrisons arc maintained not in desolate frontier forts, but for the most part in fairly good barracks in cities and towns. When Indian campaigning is in order, the field force is detached from the nearest available point; and when tho campaign is ended, tho troops como back to civilization again. On the other hand, the Mexican soldier is fed mainly upon beaus and Indian-corii; his bed iu barracks usually is his al¬ lotted place on tho floor, where lie sleeps rolled up in liis blanket; and on the march—since the army practically is destitute of a baggage train—he has to carry the whole of his kit in addi¬ tion to iris arms. The lack of a baggage train is felt with especial severity when a regiment js transferred to a new post, for the soldier then has to choose between what few belongings ho has gathered about him, and carrying them with him on his own back. Fortunately for his comfort in this situation—his pay being small and his fondness for gambling large—lie is not often heav¬ ily laden with personal property; but his lading of arms, accoutrements, and mess properties usually gives him about as much of a load as lie can very well dispose of. Sometimes the regimental band plays “La Golondrina”—which is the near¬ est equivalent in Mexican popular music to “Home Sweet Home!”—as the men file out from their quarters, form in column, and set off to the new station to which they have been as¬ signed. But this touch of the musical proprieties is less often added than omitted. As a rule, tho regiment just walks away, the men in tolerably good form while traversing the streets of the city which they arc leaving; and then, being fairly out on the highway, going along with ragged files and pretty much as they please. Their service uniforms—an admirably sens¬ ible dress, consisting of blouse and trousers of brown linen, linen-covered caps, and samlals—arc not especially soldier-like, according to our notions; but to this light rig they unquestion¬ ably owe in part their extraordinary capacity to withstand fatigue. Marching on the Mexican plateau is n severe strain upon both muscles and nerves. Unless some especial purpose is to be served, garrisons are shifted in the dry season, when the roads are ankle-deep with dust, ami when tlie sun beats down, hot and strong, from a relentlessly dear sky, and casts upon everything a blinding glare. It is the way of roads in Mexico, especially in the Northern states, to seem intermin¬ able. One low ridge of rocky hills if ascended, and from its crest anothet like ridge is seen half a dozen miles away across an arid valley, over which the waves of heat shimmer and undu¬ late, nnd in which the only vegetation —if so cheerful a word may be used to describe such brown and yellow bleak¬ ness—is thorny cactus, tufts of Span- ish-bayonet, and a few distorted and scraggly pita palms—a desolation so complete that it seems unnatural and unreal. All day long, saving only tho hot hnlt at noon, the march continues tlirough this utter dreariness, op- pressed by the blighting sunlight, the head of the column (where the office.' in command rides in plucky erectness) raising a cloud of dust that grows thicker aua heavier with each succes- five file, until the rear-guard literally is lost in its dark density. The smaller streams and many of the larger ones arc dried up, and a draught of fresh water by-the-way is a joy impossible; the water in the canteens grows hot in the fiery rays of tho sun, and never anywhere is there so much as a hand’s- breadth of shade. And yet such is the power of endurance that these wiry Mexican soldiers possess, Hie men rarely become exhausted by the way; and at night, when a halt is made at some little town, or at some hacienda where water can be obtained, and when the cold delicious wind sweeps down refreshingly from the libB, they arc as lively, and go at their rations of frijoles and tortillas with as much zest as though their eight or ten hours of toiling through heat and dust had been no more than a paseo—an agreeable stroll. It should be, and doubtless is. a cause for thankfulness throughout tho Mexican army that with the building cf the new railroads, by which all the important cities iu the republic, ex¬ cepting Caxaca, Durango, and the forts on the west coast, have been con¬ nected, the arduous marching hereto¬ fore attendant upon garrison transfers iu great part has been done away with. Lemons weighing nearly a pound eaeh are common iu Florida. FOR FARM AND UARDF.Ni CHEAP DUST BATIIS. There is nothing a lien enjoys so xrell as to dust herself in the yard When the sun is sinning.

Fens arc more hardy than any other garden vegetables, and a slight frost will not injure them. But they may be sown too early, for all that. The condition of soil and air at the time seed is put in the ground lias appar¬ ently more influence than heat or cold afterwards. In some experiments re¬ ported a year ago it was found that the peas planted during a warm day, and followed by warm weather, for 24 or 48 hours after, grew, blossomed, and bore fruit ready for picking earlier than pens planted on like soil a week earlier, when both air and soil were loo cold for germination. A quick start in growth, even with so liardv a vegetable as the pea, counts for much, and is even more important for vege¬ tables like corn and beans, that only grow in a warmer temperature.— [Courier-Journal. Win SALT SHOWS ON 111 TTEIt. Henry E. Alvord says in the Chicago Times: It is not uncommon to see butter in rolls or prints, of good quality and tolerably fresh, with a coating of salt crystals all over the outside, giving it a siale and unpleas- ant appearance. This tray be caused in several ways. If the salt used is of poor quality, and particularly if it is too coarse in grain, it fails to be well incorporated in the butter, and, chang¬ ing to brine after the rolls have been made up, it conies to the surfaco and takes the form of a crust. The finest and best salt, not worked into the but¬ te.', will act the same way. Again, if there is more moisture left in the bu'- ter than it will naturally ho d, the salt joins with this extra water to form brine; this brine finds its way to the < ntside, evaporates, and leaves tiie salt covering. The best m ans, therefore, of avoiding this diffi¬ culty is to make the butter by granu¬ lar method, wash it. very thoroughly, and allow it to drain and dry off well, while still in the granular form, be¬ fore adding the sail. Then mix in the salt as thoroughly as possible, having it of the be t quality and as fine as can be got; allow it to stand a little while before working and putting into its final form. This gives an oppor¬ tunity for all the salt to disolve before the working and then for removing all surplus brine. All butter, however, contains a pretty largo percentage of moisture in tho form of brine, and it must be kept in a moist atmosphere or else the water of the brine will evapo¬ rate more or less, ’caving tho salt vis¬ ible on the outside. Any good butter will show this dry salt if exposed long enough in very dry air. A 1‘itlZK CltOl' THAT I'AID. Many farmers, while approving of large crops,believe they are not profit¬ able. But Milton G. Shaver’s experi¬ ence in competing for the American Agriculturist oat prize last year, in Ciynga Coun'y, New York, resulted in a yield of (17 bushels per acre by methods whicli any practical farmer may adopt. A sandy loam soil was chosen that bad been treated as is common in that region, It grew corn and potatoes in 1885 with very little manure, was in barley the next year. and was sown witb fall wheat after a very light coating of manure, yielding about twenty bushels per acr.-. The grass seed failing to catch, the land was planted to potatoes in 1888, re¬ ceiving ten two-horse loads of strawy stable manure. It was plowed with a two-horse team, and worked for half a day wi h the spring-tooth harrow. After once harrowing, 150 pounds of phosphate were sown broadcast; it was again ban-owed, a bushel of Swedish oats were sown broadcast, followed by the harrow time. Then for the third two bushels more seed was drilled in with S50 pounds of phosphate. Finally, the land was rolled, as this is considered indispensable for all spring crops. Air. Shaver says : “I am seventy years old, and never sa w a handsomer or stouter pi ce of straw, and bat for the wet weather it would have yielded 100 bu-hels per acre. It weighed thirty-nine pounds per bushel, but no other oats in this region will Weigh over thirty pounds per bushel, or yield over thirty bushels per acre." Good seed, good fertilizers and thorough preparation of the soil did it. Why will farmers persist in sowing common or poor oats on Illy-prepared soil when the same effort can be made to produce twice the result?—[Ameri¬ can Agriculturist. SHEEP-KILLING DOGS. A dog that kills sheep habitually should bo confined. If it is thought to be valuable by its owner it is worth being cared for and kept nt home where it can do no harm. The whole question in regard to dogs and sheep seems to be considered from a wrong point of view. There are oilier points of value than mere money profit, and although a dog may not be of any pecuniary protii to its owner, yet the owner lias an equal right to keep it as the owner of sheep to keep them. To kill off all the dogs would bo exceed¬ ingly unwise, for they destroy a large quantity of vcrmiiic and arc useful iu other ways, and not one in fifty of them perhaps ever attacked a slice]). But the owner of sheep bus a right to the inviolability of his property against trespass by a strange dog as by a per¬ son; and the owners of dogs should be compelled to keep them ou their own premises or suffer the same penal¬ ty for the trespass as if it were com¬ mit ed by a person. This would bo an equality of rights and of responsi- bilitic*. And sheep owners should make an cffoit to secure a law to this effect, if the owner of a trespassing dog should be lined or imprisoned in default of payment for a trespass, sheep would soon live in peace, but to tax the dogs is clearly unjust.—[New York Times. KAIi.M AND (.AUDEN NOTES. Bad plan—to borrow or lend tools. This isn’t the year to sow foul seed. “Haste makes waste” o:i the farm. Charred corn is good for poultry—• they relish it. Manure tramped down by live stock does not tirefang. Be careful not to overfeed if you want eggs regularly. Bran and buttermilk make a good ration for laying hens. Never drive milch cows or fattening 6lock faster than a walk. Six trees suitable for special posi¬ tions: Sycamore, Black birch, Ash, Black Walnut, Chestnut, Beech, Movable loostB arc the best. Never put up roosts so that they cannot be easily moved at any time desired. Five desirable trees for lawn and yard: Tulip tree, Bed oak, Willow oak, Black cherry and Sweet gum. It is understood that a profit of one or two dollars can be made from each lien annually, according to the locality in which you live, as the price varies in different places. Milk is one of the best foods for young or adult fowls that can be had. They enjoy it hugely and thrive won¬ derfully upon it. It is also good for water fowls. If you have any milk to spare see that the poultry get their share. If you want trees that will grow where nothing else, will, 6ct out these: Silver maple, Carolina poplar, or Box elder. They are easily transplanted, grow rapidly, Imt are short lived, lia¬ ble to injury, sprout at tho roots, soon become scraggy looking unless spe¬ cially attended. When slu?ep appear to be blind with¬ out any apparent cause it is probably due to indigestion and its result on tho brain. The remedy is to give two ounces of raw linseed oil, to act as a purgative, and change ttie food, giv¬ ing only nutritious and digestible feed¬ ing. A feed once a day of bran, sta’ded and given cold, with a little ginger and Peruvian bark, powdered, will be useful. Natural Gas. Natural gas was discovered in pay¬ ing quantities, and its “boom” began in 188.i. At the end of three veers its annua) displacement of coal was 12,- 90G, 000 tons, estimated in value at $ 20 , 000 , 000 , which is believed to be only about half the rate of the present displacement. There are now more than 9000 miles of mains, exclusive of smaller conveying pipes. The cheap¬ ness of the gas and the enterprise of strongly competing companies have been the principal stimulants in its in¬ troduction. These competitions have resulted in the rapid acquirement and development of territory, and in very many ca^c* gas is furnished free to consumers. Not counting tho hun¬ dreds and thousands of companies that have organized to prospect, boro we is, strike water and quit business, tho total capitalization in the name of natural gas in (his country exceeds $100,000,000. Recent as has been (lie great uses of natural gas, it has been known for ina ty years. For example, Frcdonia, N. Y., lias been using it for half a century. General George Washington, the father of our country, was the first well-known owner of natural gas stock, he having, while en¬ gaged in a salt well enterprise, pur- chased the burning springs, in the Kanawha Valley of Virginia. The new mohairs and a’pacas aro more lustrous than those of last spring and they come in all the new colors that arc seen in other fabrics.

If he comes right open again lie is weary for salt water, and it is not fresh in the ordinary sense of the word. Any live clam who is squeezed knows enough to shut his mouth and keep it so. It is only worn-out fool- clams who open their shells again im¬ mediately. Freshly dug clams are mostly closed up, anyway, ft makes a heap of difference whether the clam is fresh, though. You ought to know if you have ever eat ’em. I hate a clam that’s got homesick and hangs his tongue out all day iu the basket. I'd rather cat rotten app'es. A lobster! Well, a good lobster weighs some¬ thing. If you want to buy lobster you want to, and you don’t want shells full of wa'or and air. Every lobster’s got bis name on him, so the old salts say.

Some arc named Bob and some Dick. Let one of ’em, though, gel a big bite on your linger and liis name ’ll be ‘Jcuhosaphat !’ with accent on the Jee. They’re funny fellows — clams and lobsters. You know that a clam’s head ain’t liis head, don’t you? Course, you did. liis mouth Is way round on the other side of his shell. The ‘head’ is the siphon where lie sucks in water one way and spouts it out the other. You've got to get acquainted with clams to like them in the flesh.
