' V fi - AGRICULTURAL. Devoted to the Interests of Farmers and Stockmen, The Cnrtiis. Tiioso who huve not men it on its native toil cannot imagine what a "cactus irrove" looks like. It require- a warm or equable climate, and seems to draw it substance more reainiy from the driest sandy wastes where nothing else will grow. To one who lias not lived m a cactus country tlie plant suggests only danger. Its long keen thorns possess a poisonous prop erty whicn makes them very disagree able things, and it has been t-iiiil by some writers that the thorns of a cac tus multiply when imbeded in the Jleah of anything living. 1 ins state nient id not tme. But there is no wound more painful than that made by a cactus thorn. O.i the high sage brush covered hills of Southern Cali fornia the cactus grows luxuriantly, and there its properties are known. It is not a useless plant t by any means. but it does not invite a close study by the stranger. Many hillsides are cov ered with cactus groves. The plants often reach a height of from ten to fiften feet, and are so closely jam mod together that they make a solid wall of thorns that will successfully resist the assaults of man. The blossoms of the cactus aie generally a rich yellow, but are often red and purple. They are pretty flowers, and grow from the apex of the fruit, often called " prickly pears." This fruit is about the size of a large egg, shaped like a tig, and is covered with many little bunches of minute thorns, which, if taken into the mouth, immediately sticks into the tongue, throat, and palate, and often rt-sist all eil'orts to dislodge them without medical assistance. When ripe the fruit is of a deep purple color, and the lino fuzzy thorns become loose and may be rubbtd oh". The inside of n prickly pear is not unlike that of a iig. It is a mass of minute seeds BOt in a clear, red jelly and has a very sweet taste. It is also exceed ingly juicy. It is this juiciness which makoa the prickly pear so valuable to man. Growing, as it does, in dry, arid wastes, where there is no water to be obtained, it furnishes a very pleasant beverage for the traveler. The method of preparing the fruit for eating is purely native, and, as the "greasers" are the only ones who make use of the fruit to any extent, the modus operandi is hero given. A snarply pointed stick is thrust into the fruit and it is then clipped oil' with a knile. It is then rubbed into the sand until the little thorns are removed, when it may be peeled, split open and eaten or the juice pressed out and caught in a vessel. A very strong intoxicant can bo made with this juice, but in the "land of grapes" it is not needed. Many travelers have b en puzzled to account for the existence of large flocks of quails and other birds, always including the road-runner, which live and thrive in the midst of sandy deserts where there is not a drop of water or anything green besides the citrus plants. But the explanation is very simple. The birds know that there is juice in the cactus fruit and they pick holes in the thick rind and devour the ) lly-liko substance. The fruit is not the only part of the cactus which is of use toman. The thick, oulpy leaves contain a glue-like iubstance which is used in whitewash The leaves are chopped tine, placed in a tub and coveied with water. After ktanding a eeitain lime the water becomes mucilaginous. It is then drawn oil' and used in making the whitewash, which - is made greatly better by it. Whitewash made with this water will dry quickly, harden and possess a glossy i-nioothnes-, and does not crack up and fall oil' in Hakes. The thorns were once u-ed by the na tives as needles, and the fiber of the plant for thread, and the butcher bird uses it as a skewer upon which to im pale his victims. The cottontail lab bit finds a safe refuge beneath its canopy, and the "manroot" or "Minko vine" seems to grow more plentifully near it. The ugly, duigorous cactus, with its pale, sickly green leaves and unlovoly shape, is a verv useml plant. A Talk to l'uiiii ltuyn. Farmer boys, you need not envy the young men who stand behind the counters of the city shops. You need not envy the young men who are mak ing ready to take the places of the great army of lawyers and pettifogera who are suWsisting by the litigations of quarrelsome and contentious clients. And certainly you ought not tojinvy the boys who have no employment at all ; those who are growing up to man hood without acquiring industrious habits upon which to rely in times ol great need and piessing emergencies, whoso idleness invites to temptations which so often lure to mental and bodily ruin. Your clothes may not be so finely spun and made as the city boys, but you are the peers of them all, with your bronzed faces and horny hands, however pretentious their em ployments. Your business is one which antedates overy other vocation in the world. The farmer was plowing and sowing and reaping his harvest long before a merchant, or lawyer or doctor was known ; and ho still stands fore most at the gates whence issue to the millions of the world the steady, never failing streams of . plenteousncts and life. A generation or so ago the brightest boys of the farmer's family were assigned to the professions. The dull fellows were sent to the fields. Nowadays a different order of thiug6 prevails. Once the idea was popular that only muscular s rength wus nec essary on a farm the strength to guide a plow, to wield an ax, a hoe or a scythe the endurance to go through with the sweltering tasks of summer or tho exjiosing duties of winter. These important requisites given, a booby might till the place just as well a any niie else. So some folks used to think, but) what say you, working farmer boy? Do you not place a higher osti um e upon your skill, and upon the value of your services? Look up, then, an I vindicate yourselves. You are getting health and strength from the wholesome exercises of the fields, and that you may have the necessary in telligence to combine with this strength for the proper prosecution of your calling, apply yourselves dili gently to acquiring knowledge when ever respite from labor shall give yon the opportunity. OverliniiKliiB l-'rult Tree. The question often arises, Who owns the fruit of a tree standing near the boundary line between two proprietors? It is generally supposed that the fruit on the limbs overhanging one's land belongs to him ; but this is an entire mistake. If a tree stands wholly on your land, although some of the roots extend into the soil of your neighbor and derive support ami nourishment from his soil, he has no right to anv of the fruit, which hangs over the line (11 Conn. 177 ; .'IS Vt. 105 ; 25 X. Y. 12b); and if he attempts by force to prevent you fioin picking it he i liable for an assault and battery (!(! Barb. M7; -IS X. Y. 201). In one instance a ladv, while stand ing on the fence picking cherries winch hung over tho line, was forbid den to do so by the adjoining owner, who was at work m his garden, and in the scuflle to prevent her she received some bruises on her arm, for which he had tho pleasure of paving the neat little sum of $1000. If your fruit falls into jour neighbor's lot, you have, 1 think, an implied license in law to go and pick it up, doing him no unavoid able damage (113 xMass. 37(5; 12 Vt. If, however, a fruit tree stands di rectly in tho division line, and is what is called a " lino tree," both parties own the tree and fruit in common, and neither can cut down the tree or seriously injuie it without being re sponsible the other (12 N. II. 151; :U Barb. 517; 25 X. Y. 123;. bonietnnes persons are tempted to poison or secretly kill a neighbor's tree of some kind, which stands near the fence, and casts a baneful sh.ule on their gaiden-plet ; but this is danger or 8 business, and tho pirty doing so may possibiv find himself inside the county jail for twelve months, where the rooms arc apt to be small and not always very clean. The sater way in such eases is to cut oil' the limbs which bang over your side, or dig down and :utofI the roots, which undoubtedly1 you have a right to do; hut it would not be safe to use the limbs for lire wood oi oiherwise convert them to your own use, lest you have to pay their value, more or less. Bennett's Farm Law. The I. n !;;' Nt Fur in in I lie Worlil. In tho extreme southwest corner of Louisiana lies the largest producing farm in tho world. It inns 100 mihs north and south, and many miles east mil west, and is owned and operated by a syndicate of Northern captaliMs. I heir genen 1 manager, .1. B. atkins, gives an interesting account of this gigantic plantation, which throws the great Dulryiuplu Iarm in Dakota into the sn.ule completely. "The 1,500,000 acres of our tract," Mr. Watkins said, "was purchased in 1KS3 from the State of Louisiana and the United States Govt rumeut. At that time it was a vast gra.ing land for the cattle of I ho few dealers in the neighborhood. When I look possess ion I found over 30.000 head of half- wild hoisos and cattle. My work was to divide this immense tract into con venient pastures, establishing stations or ranches every six niilen. The fenc ing alone cost in the neighborhood of FoO.OOO. The land I found to bo best adapted to rice, sugar, corn and cotton. All cur cultivating, ditching, etc., is done by steam power. We take a tract, say half a mile wide, for instance, and place an engine on each side. The engines are portable, and operate a cable attached to four plows, and under this arrangement wo are able to plow thirtv acres a day with only tho labor of three men. Our planting, harrow ing and other cultivation is done in a like manner; in fact there is not a .-tingle draft horse on the entire place. We have, of course, horses for the herd ers of cattle, of which wo now have 10,000 head. Tho Southern Pacific Railroad runs for thirty miles thiough oiir farm. Wo have three steamboats operating on tho waters of our own estate, upon which there are 300 miles of navigable waters. Wo havo an ice house, a bank, a ship yard ami a rice mill." Treatment lot- Coil I in .lloth. The following is recommended against the codlin moth: Burlap bands about six inches wide, fastened with a tack above, drawing the band close to the tree, leaving it loose at the lower edge. Those bands should not be more than a foot from the ground, and tho bark on tho trunk must be smooth and clean. In large trees place rags in the crotches. The ground must bo perfectly smooth, especially around the tree ; no rubbish or boards to be allowed in the orchaul, as the larva will hide in them. These meas ures, in addition to tho picking on" of infested fiuit, have proved a great pro tection in comparatively isolated daces whenever the rules have been followed out strictly. In addition, tho spraying with Paris green anil London purple is recommended for trial. A gloomy feeling pervades the hop districts of Central New York. Two years ago growers hardly realized enough from thoir hops to pay tho cost of raising. Last year tho crop win almost a total failure. The uniform report by hop farmers is that a third bad year is before them.

Uusiness avocations often involve an amount of mental wear and tear very prejudicial to physical health, and tho professions, if arduously pursued, aro no less destructive to bruin and nerve tissue. It Is one of tho most Important attributes of ltostettei-'s Stomach Hitters, that it compensates for this undue loss of tissue, and that it imparts now energy to the brain and nerves. Tho rapidity with which it renews weakened mental energy and physical vitality is remarkable, and slums that ltd invigorating properties nro of the highest order, llceidts Increasing vital stamina, and countoracttiic the effects of mental evluius tion, this potential medicine cures and prevents fever and hkuc, rheumatism, chrome dyspepsia and constipation, ktdno) and uterine weakness and other complaints. Physicians also com mend it as a medicated stimulantand remedy. A voting woman runs the elevator In a big Chicago building. IT IS A FACT well established that consumption, if at tended to in its llrsl stages, can bo cured. Tit re is. however, no true and rational wav to euro this disease, which is really v rofulous ulceration of the lungs, except throtmh purifying the blood.

Dec. 10, 188.V Four years ago I contracted a hard cold that settled on my lungs, I had a severe chill, 'followed by high fever, raging headache, pain on my left side over the lung, ami every time a lit of couching came on, which whh every few minutes, it was terrible to bear the pain. I thought it meant, an attack of pneumonia, as 1 went throimh a two-month seice of that disease, and it came on just the same way. Ah it was ninl't 1 thought 1 would wait until mor ing before sending for a doctor. I'ortriiHteiy, a Hall -tux ol am.cok s rmt- ous PiasT1:iis was iound in the possess-, ion of a friend, who boarded with u.s, One of these was put on my throat, two on my chest, and one on niv bark over the left' shoulder blade. I then had a hot foot ' bath. After again wetting into bed, it seemed but a few minutes when all my symptoms were relieved: the skin became quickly moist- I coughed only at intervals, and tiieu with very little .ellort, and in about an hour I was in a sound sleep, irom which 1 did not awn lie until morn ing. I resumed business in t.odays. 11. K. FuiToiuiit. C'luler l lie li-o visions of the In terstate bill Palmer & Key can sell you tvpe, presses and printing material lower than anj other hnuse.
