In making a single terrace if is a
somewhat difficult matter to make a
loose bank of earth remain in place un

of the terrace is likely to cause tee
whole upper edge to slip off. To previ . .f
thh trouble drive two or three rows ef
stakes along the extent of ike proposed
terrace, and to the upper part nail rough
boards, as shown in the ero. s section in
Fig. 1. This will hold ike heaped up
earth in place till the sod is applied,
and thereafter will give rival Jirmne:--:

thus giviug no open crack at the upper

As sharp and distinct an edge ean be
made in this way as where the opening
comes at the edge, while the results oi
the former practice are far superior.
The Sugar Cane Industry.
The cane sugar industry of the south,
while equally interested with the beef
sugar industry of the north and west in
securing the American market for its
product, is conducted on much tho same
principles, according to Tho Orange
Judd Farmer, which says:
The old fashioned method of making
sugar in open kettles on a small scale is
giving way to the central sugar house,
capable of working up 75,000 to 100,000
tons of sugar cane in the season of 60 to
90 days. At 20 tons jier acre it requires
about 5,000 acres of caue for the season's
work of such a sugar bouse running
night and day. The help attached to
auch a sugar house is little larger or
more expensive than for a factory with
| only one-third or one-half the capacity.
In these days of close competition and
lall profits the large sugar house will
i aurvive, while the small one must iu-
ritably surrender. The sugar house re-
lires the highest intelligence in every
rtment during the less than three
ynths out of the 12 in which it is op-
ited, in order to make a profit ou the
idreds of thousands of dollars in vest-
in it. It was this change from the
Id to the new system which enabled
sugar cane planters to increase their
luct from 85,000 tons of sugar in
11887 to over 324,000 tons in 1894.

James T. Fields, the Boston publish
er, had a knowledge* of English litera
ture that was both accurate and exten
sive. A would be wit once tried to en
trap him at a dinner party. Before Mr.
Fields’ arrival one of the gentlemen in
| formed the other guests that ho had
f written some lines which he intended to
submit to Mr. Fields as Southey’s and
to ask in which of that author’s works
they could be found. This programme
was curried out. “I do not remember to
have met with them before,” replied
the publisher, “and there were only two
periods in Southey’s life when such lines
could possibly have been written by
him.” “When were those?” “Some
where,” said Mr. Fields, “about that
early period of his existence when ho
was having the measles or cutting his
first teeth, or near the close of his life,
when his brain was softened. The versi
fication belongs to the measles period,
but the ideas betray the idiotic one.”
