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. A California Milget. Miss Mary It. Wells arrived here on Wednesday evening from Salinas and will make her home with relatives in lliis section for somo time. When M'ss AV'ells steyped from the car to the platform the eyes of all the bystanders were turned toward her on account of her minute size compared with her ap¬ parent ngc. Mary R. Wells was horn in Tyler county, W. Va., February 1, 1830, and is one of ten children, all of whom except her arc large in stature, and among whom are Benjamin Weils nnd Mrs. P. M. Corbly of this place. She is a little less than four feet high, and weighs now about forty-five pounds, which is her maximum weight. Her form is that of a perfect woman? and sh'e is as sprightly as any¬ body. She is a fine, artistic seamstress nnd milliner, and lias done a great deal of fancy needle-work at different times, though at the present she fol¬ lows neither of the above vocations. She is very sociable when acquainted, and takes pleasure in calling on friends and acquaintances. She lives with her relatives, spending part of her time with one and then another.— [Selma (Cal.) Irrigator. 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 eome .traveler’s jlvely. Imagination,^ 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 Cultivator, 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. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. 4 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.
