AGRICULTURE IN OTHER LANDS.
A school of practical agriculture has
been established in the province of
Buenos Ayres, under direction of the
Argentine government. Thia 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.
Dbikd 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
surplus.
An Agricultural Organization socie
ty has been formed in Ireland, largely
through the efforts of Hon. W. L.
Plunlret, 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.

ABOUT 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 facj TThich partially explains the
terrors of the retreat from Sioscow.
In northern Europe Nordenskiold
found fresh fallen snow impregnated
with a dust of carbon and iron, such as
could only have come from meteors.
ly 1771 an unprecedented drouth pre
vailed throughout India. Scarcely 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 China.
The loss of life was appalling, it being
estimated by the Chinese government
that 9,500,000 lives were lost from
famine.
POULTRY POINTS.
Apples are excellent for geese in
winter.
Half-blood Brahmas make good sit
ters and good mothers.
Poultry cannot be kept healthy on
wet ground or in damp houses.
Tile 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 is highly recommended
as food for poultry. It is not fed of ten
or 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.

An (Interesting Talk With an
Interesting Talker on a
Subject of Much
Interest to In -
vestors.
The tjnf stion «f w< men cariying
imuirrnce on their liv»s whs being
discussed the other day when M-. J.
J. Mickle; one of the best informed
life insurance men in the stafv gave
some r»ther surpria'ng figures on
tne subject.
Mr. Mickle stated that nut of a
al of twenty two applications for
life insurance 'orwared by him dtis
ring the mont h of August even or
more than 33 per cent of the num
her were made by ladies. All rem
dents of Borne.
He also stated that while insuranc ’
es of hII kinds w «s greatly on the in
ertsse that the special feature of in
suring the lives of women showed the
gre tleat. <>t all.
The progressive plans of insur
ance now in vogue are revelations
compared to the old "die to win”
plans as the living, according to
the modernized plans, participate
in the benefits derived from the
investment as well as the protec
tion features.
According to an article recently
published in the New York Sun
there are probably fifty women
carrying life insurance today to
every one who carried it ten or fif
teen years ago, and some of them
are insured for very large amounts.
They have taken out insurance
as an inve.’ment, just as men
take it out. The w man who c.» «
res the 1 irgest insu an ;e on her
life in the United States is Mrs
Hearst, the wife of Senator Heirs'
>f California. She is int-ured for
ab >ut $3C0.0C9. Some of her insur
ance is what is called straight life
insurance, but the greater part of
it is placed on the endowmen
plan—that is to s-iy, at the end of
w nty years, if she pays her
premiums regularly, she call draw
her money.
Mrs. Hearst is said to be the
first woman in the state of Cali
fornia who insured her life. There
are today a very large number of
women there who carry from sls,
000 to $20,000 insurance. Two wo
man who cairy $50,000 are Mrs.
limeline Wallace and Mrs. Juana
k. Neal.
New York women have been
rather slow to take up the matter
of life insurance from the invest
ment point of view, though there
are more than 1,000, according to
the insurance men, who carry as
much as $25,000 or $30,000, and
there are more than 10,000 who
carry from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. Os
those who have larger amounts are
the Misses Lorihiard,
Following the example of their
father, who has been for years a
great pation of life insurance com
panies, these young ladies have
themselves insured for $100,00(5
each. The female members, of the
family of Theodore A. Havemeyer,
the sugar man, are also insured tor
upward of SIOO,OOO. Mrs. J. Sloat
Fassett. the wife of ex-Senator
Fassett, has her life insured for
more than SIOO,OOO, and her
friend, Mrs. E. B, Crocker, of Kl
mira, carries $150,000 insurance
Mrs. Fassett and Mrs. Crocker both
patronize the endowment plan of
insurance, so that they will get
their money back themselves in
case they live the twenty years
necessary. There are many other
women who carry from s7t>,ooo to
SIOO,OOO insurance on their lives;
among them is the wife of 5\ . J.
Arkell, the editor of Judge.”
A great many agents talk life
insurance in such a manner as to
bore the listener to such an extent
-bat he prays for the formation of
i company that will insure insnr-
I ers against insurance solicitors,
i but we cheerfully bear testimony
to 'he fact that Mr. Mickles talks
on th« subject of life insurance are
bright, sparkingeutertaiLULig and
instructive. One of the Montgom
ery papers, Mr. Mickle was raised
in Montgomery A n , in speaking

Mr. Mickle says that ho

insurance,or in other words: “If
you live you get the
vou t-hould be so thoughtleaf’ as
to die tn >R«you love nex* best to

so, they are, generally speaking, if
only pieces of the same size be
tested. But when equal weights cf
the two materials are compared, it
is then found that several varieties
of wood are stronger than ordinary
steel. A bar of pine just aa heavy
as a liar of steel an inch square
will hold up 125,000 pounds ; the
best ash 175,000 pounds, and. some
hemlock 200,000, pounds. Wood is
bulky. It occupies ten or twelve
times the space of steel. Th3 beat

There is a story of a printer wh«,
when hia fellow workmen went out to

out to drink wilh them.
He kept to hia resolution for five
years. He then examine! hia bank
account and found that he had on
deposit $521.85.1n the five years he
had not lost a day from ill health.
Four or five of his fellow workmen
had, in the meantime, become drunk
