NICARAGUA CANAL.
The Preliminary Work of Con¬
struction Described.
The Great Waterway That is to
Unite Uwo Oceans.
A number of gentlemen connected
with tli* engineering department of
tho great Nicaragua canal, who re-
cently arrived in Washington, D. C.,
bring reports of commcndublo pro-
gross being made on that great enter-
prise. Several million dollars have
already been spent and the active work
of cmstructiou is now well under
way, nnd so well started and under
such favorable financial auspices that
the success of the scheme is assured,
The Nicaragua company Ins recently
purchased, at enormous expense, the
plant of the American Dredging Com-
pany, which had been doing work on
the abandoned Panama canal. Tho
dredges are now being delivered at
Greytown, the eastern terminus of the
Canal, and the Nicaragua company will
operate them itself, instead of lotting
contracts for such work as these
dredges arc adapted to.
Already tho pier, or breakwater, ex¬
tending out into the gulf at Greytown,
is nearly completed, and actual dredg¬
ing for the canal on the gulf 6ide has
begun. The telegraph line from Grey¬
town to Lake Nicaragua, connecting
with the lilies om the Pacific coast is
completed, aud'the railway froinGrcy-
town, laid along the line of the canal,
is well under way. At present about
1,800 men and a corps of eighty cfli-
cere, or engineers, are on the ground
and at work. The first work prelim¬
inary to tiic work on the canal proper,
was the building of the great pier at
Greytown, extending 1,800 feet out
towards deep water. This pier is nec¬
essary to protect the entrance to the
canal, and work upon it was begun
early last January. Seven hundred
feet of it have been completed. This
pier has proved a lucky enterprise.
When work was begun on it the en¬
trance to the harbor was obstructed by
asand’var, and the 700 feet nlready
built has so changed the currents that
this bar has almost entirely worn away
by the action of the water. The con¬
struction of this waterway means, per¬
haps, more to Oregon and Washington
than to any other part of the world.
The.shipments from these states to
foreign countries is increasing at an
astonishiug rate every year, and it
promises, with tho shortening of the
distance resulting from the use of this
canal, to rival that of any other sec-
tiop of tho world. By way of Cape
Horn the distance from New York to
Portland is 15,510 miles, while by way
of Nicaragua canal it will be but 5430
miles, or a saving of 10,080 miles by
the new route.
| From Liverpool to Portland by tho
route now traveled by merchant ships
is 15,360 miles, while by way of the
canal the distance will be shortened to
8,178 miles, or a saviugof 7,182 miles.
These savings are only samples of
wliat will be accomplished for ship¬
ping to all parts of tho world, and as
the time consumed and distance lessen
the expenses will also be proportion¬
ally reduced, which means a decrease
>n freight rates of nearly fifty per
ter t. This cannot hut be advantage-
dus to all classes of producers in this
section, not only in increasing the
profits of their business, but in a pro¬
portionate enlargement of their re¬
spective outputs.—[West Shore.

The Rain Tree.
The so-called “rain tree” is a native
of Venezuela, where it is known by
the Spanish name of Zamaug. It is a
rapid growing tree while young, and
is remarkable for its wide-spreading
branches, foiming a globular head,
sometimes 200 feet in diameter. The
botanical name of this tree is Pitiie-
colobium saraen and its seeds are pro’
duced in a large flatfish pod about one
inch wide and eight inches long. These
pods contain a sweetish pulp, aud are
used for feeding cattle. The old story
of vain falling from the leaves in dry
weather is not true, but the creation of

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
'care ok machinery.
Farmers loso more by neglect to
properly study or inability to compre¬
hend tho machinery they use than
they arc commonly aware. They not
only pay more for repairs than they
need,but their implements are knocked
to pieces, when with good manage-
ment they should lie almost as good as
new. Then, too, tho implement mak-
ers are obliged to spend largo stuns in
employing men to go and instruct
fnnners in the use of machines after
tlioy have been perhaps a year or two
on trial. No farmer should take n
machine home unless ho is sure that
lie understands all about making it
work. If it fails then lie should at
once return it, for lie surely canno
afford to spend his own time tinkering
imperfect machines, or employ any
one else to do this for him. — [Boston

A PLUM ORCHARD.
Poultry yards, bare of trees or other
facilities for shade, are not only un¬
sightly, but nro conducive of discom¬
fort and injury to (lie fowls. The
maple and other quick growing va¬
rieties of shade trees generally do well
in large poultry yards, but most of
them soon grow sickly or else die soon
when growing in a small poultry en¬
closure where many birds are con¬
stantly packing down the soil with
their restless feet. Anyone who is at
all observant will notice how hard the
soil i.t a poultry enclosure soon be¬
comes, almost as hard and bare as the
surface of a stone, rendering it so
smooth as to fairly turn water.
Where a tree is at all delicate in its
nature, it i- sure to be killed, sooner
or later. With plum trees, however,
it is entirely different; there is no
fruit bearing treo which will do as
well under these conditions as will
this one—in fact it does much better
here than elsewhere, producing as
good crops and perfecting them too,
which it does in a cultivated piece.
We can recommend the plum or cherry
tree for shade in a poultry yard.
Plant a few trees and obtain sliado for
your chickens.— [Farm, Field and
Stockman.
ROTATION OF CROPS.
Can farming be carried on without
some rotation of crops? Can special
crops he grown as a business, as, for
instance, hay alone, or potatoes, corn,
wheat, &c. ? Bitch a belief is opposed
to both scicnco and practice, and
while to some extent a farmer may
make a special business of growing
some particular crop, it must be done
under some rotation. For instance,
wheat, clover, potatoes is a possible
rotation and affords one special crop—
the potatoes—which will pay enough
to make up for possible losses on the
others. A farmer may have a small
farm, forty acres—for instance, and
have four fields, one in wheat, two in
clover, and one in potatoos.
If lie can produce 2,000 bushels of
potatoes, worth $1,600; 350 bushels of
wheat, worth $250, and 40 tons of
clover hay, worth $400, his income
will he $2,150 in the year, and he
manures ten acres eacli year at an ex¬
pense of $300, plowing in one field of
clover eacli year with the manure
made on the farm for the potatoes,
sowing wheat after this crop and seed¬
ing witli ciover. No doubt this plan
can he carried on ns a permanent rota¬
tion aud afford a comfortable living.
But it cannot be expected that hay can
be grown year after year, or any other
crop, without failure very soon.
— [New York Times.
WIT AT IS TI1E MATTER WITH THE OATS?
The general failure of oats this sea¬
son affords a subject for thought. The
previous season gave a very large crop
and brought the price down to a ruin¬
ous point. Is tins year’s result an ef¬
fort of nature to balance things, or
was the mild winter at fault? Doubt¬
less the latter is tho cause of the fail¬
ure. The warm weather encouraged
the growth of the nitrifying germs in
the soil to an excessive extent, nnd
made the land too rich in nitrogen for
tho crop, so that it made too much
straw, encouraged rust and yielded
light chaffy grain or no grain at all in
the chaff. Tho enormous hay and
clover crop of this season seems to
corroborate this view, as abundant ni¬
trogen causes a luxuriant growth of
both grass and clover.
What is tho remedy then under such
circumstances? A reasonable deduc¬
tion of known principles might sug¬
gest an application of superphosphate
of lime with potash salts to neutralize
the stimulating effect of too much
nitrogen, or rather to balance it and
enable the crop to fill out the grain
which calls for these elements, The
experience of this year is a valuable
lesson for future guidance under
similar conditions. It is also an in¬
teresting instance of how many condi¬
tions conspire to affect the results of
farm practice.— [American Agricul¬
turist.
FOOD FOR GROWING PIGS.
The stomach of a hog is not large
enough to adapt it to bulky, innutri-
tious food. As it does not chew the
cud it cau not make use of grass or
hay in such large amounts us do cattle
and sheep. Pigs will eat a little
clover, but if left without other food
wiii not grow much, if at all. Know-
ing this, us most farmers do, it must
seem a waste of eflort. so say the au¬
thorities that he, the New York Ex¬
perimental Station, to make a trial of
ensilage and coinfrcy* ns food for
growing pigs. Tho result there,
under the conditions suggested, was
what might have been expected. Tho
pigs merely rooted over tho ensilage
enough to secure what hits of coru
were ’scattered through it.
Then they, when driven by hunger,
chewed as much of the ensilage as
(hey could. Prickly coinfrcy was
eaten in very similar manner, Tho
pigs fed on bran and corn meal, with
a small amount of ensilage, did better;
but neither they nor those foil on corn
alone produced pork ut a profit. Tito
experiment, in short, decided nothing
not already well known by farmers.
The cost of the ensilage and of the
prickly comfroy was estimated at $ 1
per ton, while rather curiously the
manure from this same ton is esti¬
mated at $1.48. According to this tho
ensilage-fed pigs, though gaining
nothing themselves, were really a
source of profit as machines for mak¬
ing manure.
It is even suggested in the bulletin
recording this experiment, that breed¬
ing animals, botli boars and sows,
may he kept on ensilage, as no in¬
crease in their weight is expected.
But how is the sow to nourish the
young she is bearing, or the hoar to
he kept in proper vigor for breeding
on such food as this? The experi¬
ment was made with improved breeds,
die Cheshire and Duroc-Jcrsey. A
wild, long-nosed pig would have been
better adapted to this style of feeding,
and tvitli such specimens this unfortu¬
nate experiment might have succeeded
better.—[Courier-Journal.

Select the seed corn.
Crowd the corn cutting just as soor.
as ripe enough.
English prisons hold about five
males to one female.
Look out for cracked and scratched
teats this time of the year.
Regularity of feeding and a constant
supply of water is necessary for the
best results.
Cows filled up on straw alone arc
not apt to give much milk—much less
much cream.
It saves time to do everything on
time; a regular routine of work is a
great time saver.
It won’t pay you to do without a
thermometer if you are going to make
butter this winter.
No tile of a less size than three
inches should bo laid, nor at a less
depth than'36 inches.
Dig potatoes as soon as ripe. Noth¬
ing gained by leaving them in the
ground after they are fit to dig.
If you aro fond of case you had
better not try winter dairying as a
means of getting on iu the world.
The less potatoes are handled the
better they will keep—they are better
in a cool cellar than exposed to the
sun.
You will find it often saves time to
“wait a little” until the temperature
of cream is right, before beginning to
churn.
By thorough tile drainage the good¬
ness of tho water is screened and
strained out into the land, leaving the
richness.
Some feed higher than the profits in
milk warrant, but too many dairymen
feed too low for tho best profit. Which
are you doing?
We Waste Our Forests.
Forestry, or the scientific culture
and harvesting of the forests, is a
skilled art in the European countries,
and as an instance of the profit of it
might be mentioned the fact that the
French exports in the year 1887 of
the products of tho forests amounted
to over $21,000,000, while the Amer¬
ican exports the same year reached
the value of only $1,000,000 more.
No doubt wc used at home a vastly
larger quantity of timber on account
of our greater demands for vai ions
purposes in u country engaged in build¬
ing itself up, while European coun¬
tries need to repair and not to build.
But it is unquestionable that wo are
still wasting a vast amount of timbor,
as we have been doing from the
first settlement of tin continent.
There is no care, no economy, no
reserve, but a seeming haste to get rid
of the last treo that cumbers the
ground. There can be no doubt that
an acre of standing timber is now
worth more than an acre under cultiva¬
tion. There are thousands of acres of
the best timber destroyed every year
upou which one tree alone is worth
more than the acre of land it. stands
v.pon, and considering tho reckless
waste there is ro more profitable use to
which land can be put than to plant
trees upon it or to preserve those now
growing. — [New York Times.
