I was just thinking of how little th" value of sorghum is understood nnd appreciated in this latitude as a forage plant. When I was iu (Jarden City Kan., last September, I found hundreds of acres raised for the purpose of feed ingstock alone in fact more acres than thero were in corn. I saw pens full of Berkshire hogs, fat enough for tho butcher, that they assured me had been fed on nothing else but sorghum, fresh from the Held, nnd it is considered of more value per aero than corn for that purpose. A great deal was already cut, and there was a socond growth covering the stubbt about eighteen inches high. It is there mostly sown broadcast or drilled, sometimes Amber ami Orange mixed together. Cattle and sheep are fed on it all the time the same as hogs, from the time it ho gins to head out. In this latitude where we can only allord the seed for stock, it amounts to more than many have any idea of. have this season made a careful esti mate of the yield of seed per ton of ddlcrent varieties, and it lias surprised me. As we weigh all our cane it was little trouble to do so, and as we are just through threshing it, I am able to semi you correct ligures. 1 lie estimate, as vou see, is made on unstripped cane, which is considered to be 1,0) pounds of clean cane, and '-'!) pounds ot blades per ton, or te i per cent, (liilcrcnt: see statement.

My improved Farly Orange, as you sco, made forty-eight bushels to tho acre, and weighing sixty-two pounds to tho bushel, it is well for farmers to consider this at tho present low prico of wheat, when more stock becomes a necessity for profit and by requiring more feed and afl'prd also a rotation from corn to somothlng else. Tho present low prioo forsugar soemi to put a damper on tho sorghum indus try, but I tton't see why it should. Largo factories, working for sugar only, will feel It keenly, but small works making only good syrup and using the iy-products to advantage which largo works aro not In condition to do will havo littlo to comida'n of, when thov compare prices of other farm products. Wo have aimed for somo time not to make sugar, and wo have not made any for sale ih s season, although our cane was good, but it has saved us from much loss.

Tho muskrat is a very dainty cater, and one of the swell members of the animal kingdom. He not only washes f ' no vear ami gixieen for more than imiiseii in.-iore umi ai.er ne caut, out uci (wo years. washes ail h;s food anil observes the rule of cleanliness with unvarying regu larity. Personally he is a short legged littlo animal, from twelve to fif teen inches long, with a tail two-thlrdj the length of his body. Ho sports six rows of side-whiskers, and ho wears a scared, surprised sort of an expression on his rut lie r homely faco that makes him look as if at some time he had been guilty of some great crime. His dress is ii eful as well as ornamental. It is of hair, verv soft and w arm, dark brown on bin. nnd rather lighter be low. He is a good feeder, and his bill tf fare embraces roots, grasses, vegeta- u ot, fruits ami mus-els. lie can snu.-K a mussel as easily as a cmtmpion shucker can handle an oyster. Some times he eats men1, but this is rare. He is mainly a vegetarian. At this sea son, however, he goes rather heavy on mussels, and, for. evident reasons, ho alwiivs lakes them raw.

So serious is tho unmistakable efl'ect of tins habit, that it has not been found dillicult in somo of our Legislatures to pass laws against tho sa!o of tobacco to minors We believe that all licensed tobaoco sellers should enter into obligations not to sell to those bi low a certain ago, and that any person should havo a right to enter complaint against children iounu to be indulging this habit liesido the direct effect on impaired physical vigor, there is another view not enough considered. Tho power of choico, self- control, self-restraint Will-power, in its best sense, Is tho greatest power be neath tho sky. The freedom of tho will is far more than a thoological doctrine. musk-bag is cut and tho scent is impart ed to the meat it becomes worthless. I asked a colored woman who is some what noted for her success in making muskrat palatable, how she treated the animal. Sho said ho skinned it very carefully; washed it well in frodi water; soaked it for several hours in salt water, and then, if tho weather wat cold enough, hung it in the air so that it would freeze. The longer it is allowed to freeze the better it get'. The co'd takes away (ho wild tasle. After this heeither stews it, or, if .she wants it fried, pnrbo Is it and fr.es it afterward. When served hot after the foregoing treat ment it is a di.-h not to be despised. The meat resi tibles the flesh of tho guinea, and tastes something like that ami destiny, but social and National destiny also. Our most outspoken ouarrcl with tobaoco, as w.i,h other stimulants and narcotics is this, that, indulged in so early, tiiey so effect tho brain and nervous system that habits be 'oino dominant and uncontrollablo, which lead to a general law of self-restraint. The stamina, the pluck, the true grit of life succumbs to masterio) that are ignol lit. Tho ono habit, if it does not lead to loss of th's power in tho imli vidual, as it generally does, shows this lost marvellously in entailments. Wo hear much discussion as to whether in- temperanco is a disease. Tho real dis ease that Ls gaining ground is debility in self-restraint, and in producing that of I he sfiu'rrol. Tho gentleman, over debility among the young tobacco is tho most turcautuiug power, lb leans oncii lo intemperance, to a general yielding of self-control, and so to many an ovil greater than that of physical mtiimity. It is because we aro profoundly im pressed with this evil that we would earnestly draw attention to it. Tho cigarette is one of the most unfortunate toy pi-tols that has ever been put in the hands of American youth. Many aro playing with it who not only acquire a habit evil to tho body, but, through it, get nn unmistakable, break-down of tho nob'est possession of manhood, which shows itself in tho individual or in his descendants, in various forms of physi cal, mental and moral weakness. Tho peril to American youth and American life from the tobacco-habit must not bo lost sight of In our earnest devotion to other reforms. N. Y. Independent. whose kitchen the cook alluded to pre sided, says that between turkey and niii-krat he pro'ers muskrat all the time. 'Hie way the Ju lians used to treat llrs animal was cither to toast it on coals or boil it with torn. Muskrat hun'ing on mill-ponds, how ever, is a mere bagatelle compnred with tlio sport on the marshes along the great rivers of the Chesapeake. Tiiey nro around by hundreds an I thou-amis. They make immense burrows, often run ning forty or fifty feet, in which there are nests of reeds, whero the an'mals sleop. Sometimes they make tunnels through the marsh hills; nnd frequently the water, rushing through these holes, enlarge them unt I they assume danger ous proportions. Last winter a colored man aloug thu icomico fell through one. got stuck in mud, and was drowned. Tho hunters on tho marshes have various methods of ensnaring tho animal. Ono way is to place a lend trap in one of their burrows Ihc muskrat is not very cunning ns regards snares, and he fid's a prev easily. These traps sometimes catch hundi'cils in a single season. Another I lan is I'utli'T a crii"l one. The hunter nrins himself with a weapon consisting f a stout handle, from which extend voral .'oag slurp wires, liivo tho or- tiinary cig. ill) this he probes the miiskrut s bed. ami woe be lo the am mal that happens to be beneath tl e wires. Hut t ic b st instrument, after all, is a bivech-loailing shot-gun, with two or three dozen shells loaded with coarse shot ami plenty of powder to scatter t' em well and drive them homo. Frequently, on these marshes tho old hunters shoot by sound, as the muskrat cannot always be sem. 1 hey have, too, a way of calling them out by imi tating their lit i.ses. The best t'mo for shooting is from just before day I reak to sunrise. Tho evening is generally moro convenient, but the muskrats are not stirring around ns much as during the early hours of morn ing. for. Uu'li' more Anwiican SALA'S MEN OF STONE. BOYS WHO SMOKE.

Fab ricio Sala, a sculptor ami mineralogist, who arrived in San Francisco in A ril last from New York and who opened a marble yard at 110 Oolden (!atj ave nue, went prospecting for marble. In pursuit of his search for the stone which on account of the d ilieultv and price of transportation from tiie Italian quairies is almost a prec'ous store, Sal went to Santa Marl ara County, having heard that there was a marble quarry on the estate of ('. ll.

A workshop was put up, anil, having his tools with him, Sala set to work nt his carving. As tho labor progressed Sala, led by his odd fancy, decided to make ligures of a po- culiar build, so to speak, thinking that by tins means even moro attention and curiosity would be at traded to them.
