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.

THE EFFECTS OF MENTAL EXHAUSTION.
Many diseases, ctmocltlly those of tho ner
vous system, are tho products of dnlly renewed
mental evhaustion. 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

highest order, llceidts Increasing vital stamina,
and countoracttiic the effects of mental evluius

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 REMEDY FOR CUILLS AND FEVER.
Hoam:.vri:it, N. Y.. 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.

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.
