“LAND OF FIRE”
A Birdseye View of the Island
of Terra del Fuego.
Even Missionaries Avoid Its
Inhospitable Shores.
The southern most group of islands
of this continent is Terra del Fuego,
or tho “Land of Fire.” and was dis¬
covered by the Spanish navigator
Mngnllincns in 1520, receiving its name
from the Humorous fires ho saw dur¬
ing the night along tho shore. The
Atlantic and l’acific oceans meet at
Cape Horn, the southernmost ex¬
tremity of tho group. Tho largest
island is about three hundrod miles
long nnd of very irregular shape, nnd
look* as if no human being could
dwell upon it. Tito other large islands
are Navnriu and I losti, nnd lio to tho
south, ■ cparalcd by Beagle Channel,
and Dawson, Clarenco ami Desolation
islands lio still to I ho westward. All
these islands arc deeply indented and
very mountainous, many of the.peaks
being over live thousand foot high,
while the highest. Mount Sarmietilo,is
about six thousand nine lmndrod feet,
the limit of perpetual snow being
about four thousand feet, The
soil is generally a swampy peat, and
to tho height of 1500 foct is cov¬
ered with forests of beech. Tho geo¬
logical formatio i is principally clay
slate, greenstone and granite. The
climate is probably the worst in the
world, storms, sudden gusts of wind,
rain, snow aud mist succeeding each
other in rapid succession. Once in
awhile a navigator can be found who
lias doubled Cape Horn in compara¬
tively tine weather. Tho giant soa-
weod is common on tho coast nnd in
the straits, and affords shelter for in-
liumcrnblo sliellti-li, without which
the natives would find it extremely
difficuli to subsist. Deer, gunnacocs,
foxes, sea otters, mice, bats and a few
other animals arc found, and birds,
particularly sea fowl, aro numerous.
The unlives of Terra del Fuego are
the same as those of Patagonia, but
smaller, nnd tlioso of llio southeast
portion of the group aro short, ill
made and ugly looking; in fact, they
ate a disgusting rnco of people. Their
clothing consists entirely of guanaco
or seal skins, and their huts, generally
built close to the shore in some shel¬
tered nook, arc conical, mado of
branches of small trees stack in the
earth, seven or eight feet In diameter
and four or five feet high, with a
small hole for a dpor, and reek with
filth and vermin. It is very seldom a
white man sets his foot on their for¬
bidden shores, nnd only then when in
numbers nnd well armed, Lit-
tie, if anything, is known of
their manners and customs or habits,
and they probably arc as uear perfect
barbarians as any race on the face of
the globe, and so dark, dank and for¬
bidding is the country nnd so repulsito
the appearance of the people that even
the missionary has avoided them, and
they aro left to live and die In tho be¬
lief of their fathers for generations
unknown. Once in a while a man-of-
war on a surveying cruise approaches
these islands “closo to,” hut mariners
give them a wide berth, for, once cast
upon these dangerous rocks, both men
and ship arc lost beyond hope.—[Mail

True Tale of a liat.
A ladv now living in Detroit, wife
of an officer in the navy, tells this
true story of a rodent:
“I was 16 years old nt the timo and
very fond of j#ts. Wo had a family
of Maltese kittens which wero jnst
beginning to run about wlicu this inci¬
dent occurred.
My father had killed a litler of rats,
the old mother rat escaping. That
night, after I had retired, 1 felt one
of ihe Mfljtcso kittens creeping up to
my face. 1 took it in my arms and
went to sleep wish my cheek resting
against it. in the morning it was still
there, nnd I took it u;i in both hands
to fondle it, and saw it was a big
brown rat, and dropped it with a
scream. My father hoard nio and
ran into my room. Ho caught the
rat and dropped it out of llio window
into a rain-water barrel, whero it was
drowned. It was tho mother of the
little rats he bad killed, and lie said a
mother rat is always docile and disin¬
clined to bite. But it wus au experi¬
ence I would not liko to repeat.”—

How Samoans Dye Their Hair.
Although the native Samoan is pro¬
vided by nature with an nbuudant poll
of jet black hair, local fashion has de¬
creed that its color must be changed
to a seal browu nnd sometimes to a
dusky brick red. To effect this a
smearing of coral lime, slacked in
water, is applied about once a week
and allowed to remain over night. By
this peculiar custom tho color of the
Samoan head is quite different from
that provided by nature.
The lime, of about the consistency
of common whitewash, is thoroughly
applied to the liuir, each particular
hair being carefully smeared until the
entire head is a mass of white.
Unlike the Fijians the Samoan keeps
his hair quite short. Both sexes wear
the hair iu pretty much the same style,
save that the women do not bleach
,ffie hair to the 6ame extent as the men.

Frofossor Snow ot tho University
of Kansas lias boon engaged in some
Investigations of great interest to the
farmers of his stato anil of tho West
generally. Ho lias found a disease
which is very fatal, and spreads with
great rapidity among chinch bugs.
With this bo 1ms boon experimenting,
and so successfully that bo announces

TIIE IDEAL FOWL.
Tbc ideal fowl is a very practical
sort of bird. One tlmt is plump, fine
flavored and quick in growth, this is
what anyone wants in a broiler—a
good roaster with heavy breasts, ten¬
der flesh. As layers wo want liens
that will begin to lay when six months
old, that will lay eggs two ounces
each in weight, with rich yellow
yolks. Every lien should lay at least
100 eggs and rear a brood of chicks
the first year ami a half of her life.
This is not wanting too much, but
there arc many fowls kept on the
farm that fail to como up to what
constitutes good, practical stock. It is
a poor policy to retain poultry which
does not return an equivalent for its
feed.— [New York Witness.
ANIMAL ODOU IN SULK.
Tlicro is a great deal of talk among
dairymen about the animal odor in
milk. Perhaps tho following from
tho Farming World of Kditiburugli,
Scotland, will throw some light on
the subject: “If ono will test tho inilk
of cows kept in filthy byres, and upon
whose sides filth is permitted to col¬
lect in adherent flakes, in this way,
tho foulness will be very apparent.
This odor has been called sometimes
the animal odor, nnd has been thought
to bo inseparable from the cow. This
is wholly untruo. It is tho odor of
filth which h»9 every characteristic
of manure, and which is discharged
with tho milk bccnufO it'could not es¬
cape through tho skin, which is the
natural outlet tor it, and by which it
would escape freoly and imperceptibly
if the skin were kept clean and in
healthful action by means of thorough
brooming every day.” Good ventila¬
tion of stables will help in tbc matter.

CABBAGE.
In growing cabbage, whether for
early, midsummer or winter, there nrc
three requirements necessary to sue-
cess: good healthy plants, a suitable
soil, and last, but not least, good cul¬
tivation. Our early cabbage is sown
in hotbeds about the middle of Febru¬
ary ; tho young plants are aired fre¬
quently, transplanted when small nnd
exposed lo the cold as they grow older
so as to ins-ure good, stocky, well
hardened plants. The second crop we
son- in cold frames tho last of March,
sparingly, to avoid transplanting, and
for winter use about tho 20th of
April.
Early cabbages requiro a very rich
soil, while late ones will do well
wherever a good crop of corn can be
raised; wo plough our ground early
for late crop, summer fallowing as for
wheat. Early crop is sot about 10th
of April, second crop tho first of May
and third crop 20th of Juno.
In setting, we use a pog to make the
bole, and insert tho plants to the first
leaves, pressing the dirt firmly to the
bottom of tho roots with the peg.
When tho plants liavo straightened up,
conimenco cultivating the soil deeply,
anil the more frequently tho bettor, for
tho first four weeks; never cultivate
less than once a week until beginning
to head.
The early cnbbngos which cannot be
disposed of in our homo market are
shipped in crales; tho late, shipped in
car-load lots. — [Vick’s Magazine.
MANAGEMENT OF SHEEP.
There is no farm stock that will so
quickly run down if poorly cared for
as sheep. Nono requires moro care in
feeding. The average usefulness of
sheep docs not extend above seven or
eight years, and they aro at their best
when four to six years old. Unless
old ewes are sold oil' a litllo before
they pass their limit they will prove
barren, or their lambs will lack vigor
and vitality. Iu ono case only is it
allowable to sell young and vigorous
ewes, and that is whero tho owe lost
her lamb and become too fat for
breeding. This does not often happen
until the cwo has a full mouth, for
while tho teeth are growing sheep will
not become too fat on ordinary pasture
alone. If a owo loses a lamb she
should be put in tho poorest feed, ami
every effort made to keep hor from be¬
coming too fat. But when sheep get
past age put them in a flock
by themselves, aud feed a
few onts every day through
the summer. They will be fat by-
fall, while if allowed to remain poor
and then be grain fed, when put on
dry feed for whiter tho sheep will
lose flesh and probably die before
spring in spite of all that can be
done. A half pound of oats per
sheep daily at pasture will put on
more flesh aud fat on old sheep than
any feed can do in winter. Oats are
tho best grain for beginuing to feed
old sheep. They do not need grind¬
ing. If on thU they .bow n gain, re¬
place a small part of the oat* with
bean, or corn, and decrease (ho
amount in doing ao until it is seen
that tho ihocp nro not cloyod. Every
time a now feed is givoti decrease the
grain ration for a week or more. A
very little oil meat mixed with oats
fattens old sheep better tliau any thing
else.— [liostou Cultivator.
OXE CAUSE FOR LAME HOUSES.
A curious mistake, common among
blacksmiths, was pointed out to me
recently hy a practicing veterinary
surgeon to whom I took a horse that
Imd bo conic lame gradually, with con¬
siderable heat in tho feet. 11c drew
attention to the fact that most farriers,
being right-handed, unintentionally
lower the left side of the foot more
than tho right side. As a result the
pastern docs not sot quito evenly on
tho coffin bone, or tho bono suspended
inside the wall of tho lioof, and in
time the concussion of the foot on tho
street produces soreness in tho joint
which could not exist if tho foot wero
level. A trifle out of joint, so to
speak, the foot at night cannot repair
the injury received or the fatigue of
tho day; it gradually gets feverish
and then tender, and the horse is sud¬
denly seen to limp. I have noticed
this in hundreds of cases. The lame¬
ness disappears in a few days if the
cause be removed by leveling up the
toot carefully. A person will experi¬
ence tho same difficulty in his ankle if
ho wear for a few days a boot that h
run over at the heel. Tho sorenoss
will not be so pronounced for two
reasons: the boot is not woru nor
stood upon nights, and leather fur.
nislics more of a cushion than iron
when brought in contact with the
pavement.
Neither man nor horse is perma-
notly injured unless tho faulty condi¬
tions continue. Ilow such au error,
nhno9t unnoticsable, should be so fre¬
quently committed is easily under¬
stood when it is seen how much fast¬
er the knife removes the horn while
being drawn than pushed. The shoot
lifts the foot aud draws the knife tow¬
ard himself on the bottom of what is
thou the right side, but which is really
the left of the hoof, as his back is
toward the horse's head. To pare the
left (fight) side of the hoof is more
difficult or unhandy' and it is, as a
consequence, left thicker. The
horse’s forefeet are so constructed that
if they must turn over, to turn out is
less hurtful than to turn in; lienee,
the first indication of lameness from
this cause is usually noticeable ill tho
right foot, the left 6idc of that foot
being the lower, thus inclining it to
roll iu. The lesson is, hire competent
farriers and be sure to keep the horse’s
feet level from side to side as well as
front aud rear.— [American Agricul¬
turist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Bran is indigestible if fed raw to
poultry, and somotimo3 causes bowel
disease.
Young clucks do not eat much at a
Hire, but they cat often. Do not omit
a meal. Feed at regular hours.
By rotation of crops the supply of
plant food removed is equalized and
the soil is better enabled to produce
crops for a longer period of time.
One decided advantage with incu¬
bator chicks is that, at the start, at
least, they aro much fieer from lice
than those hatched under the hcu.
If chicks como out of the incubator
weak it indicates cither too high or
too low temperature, or that the eggs
were from immature pullets or over-
fat liens.
If cookod or well scalded, so as to
soften it, bran makes good poultry
food, as it largely abounds in the
phosphates, being tho best bone-form¬
ing element that can be given.
Chickens will begin eating wheat,
sorghum seed and millet when two
weeks old, and after that lime there
should bo no difficulty in supplying
thorn with a good variety of food.
Tho World’s Wheat Crop.
The London Financial Times, in nn
article on tho world’s wheat crop for
tho present year, figures tho not short¬
age ni 50,000,000 bushels. From esti¬
mates largely derived from govern¬
ment statistics tlie crop of Great Brit¬
ain is placed at 64,000,000 bushels,
and tho necessary importation at 150,-
000,000 bushels. In Fi ance a crop of
210,000,000 bushels is nil that can be
looked for, nnd 100,000,000 bushels
will be required. Italy must import
at least 40,000,000 bushols of wheat,
and tho rest of Europe, including
Holland, Belgium, Germany, etc., will
require in all about 85,000,000. The
other importing countries of the world
usually require about 30,000,000 bush¬
els, so that tho probable demand dur¬
ing the year ending July 1, 1892, may¬
be placed at 405,000,000 bushels.
Against this demand the supply
from the exporting countries of the
world, outside of the United States,
Russia aud India, cannot be more than
105,000,000 bushels, leaving 300,000,-
000 bushels to be supplied by the three
great exporting countries. Tho pres¬
ent ou look is that the United States,
Russia and India will be able to sup¬
ply 250,000,000 bushels, and that 301,-
000,000 bushels will be wauted.—

The Eyesight of Children.
When quite young, children oftou
show a disposition to hold objects very
close tci.dcicy to their eyes, others have a slight
there to squint, thus showing tni.t
is an inequality in the eyes. If at¬
tended to in time this can bo remedied
by wearing Fpocially prepared Fpcctacles
for a given time, but if neglocted spec¬
tacles will be of no avail and nothing re
mains but a surgical operation. Parents
cannot bo too enreful about this matter,
as many a child has lost the sight of one
eye on account of the ignorance and
negligence of the parents.
When a child first enters school its
eyes should bo thoroughly tested by
means of certain simple tests in the hands
of tho ttacher, so that it cau be ascer¬
tained bcvonel the possibility of a doubt
whether tho sight is defective or not and
able to bear tho necessary strain arisiug
from clo3o application to study. Noth¬
ing its is of so much importance to a child as
be eyesight. Little or no progress can
made at school unless tho eyes are in a

Keep Your Blood Pure.
A small quantity of prevention is worth many pounds
of cure. If your blood is in good condition the liability
to any disease is much reduced and the ability to resist
its wasting influence is tenfold greater. Look then to
your blood, by taking Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) every
few months. It is harmless in its effects to the most
delicate infant, yet it cleanses the blood of all poisons
and builds up the general health.
