and wire for the lines. Oftentimes a
great loads of poles, cut In the forests n
around -Toluca 'or Paizouaro, in. the a
southrtl part of the republic, have to a
be elowly and laboriouly hauled ovei' a
the hot plains of Chihuahiui and put in d
place by men who carry their rations i
for days with them. The cost of the g
poles and the wire is ecessarily greatly. q
enhanced-by-the tranAportation, thd, it v
may be said that telagraph wire, placed i1
almost anywhere in Mexico, costs the a
government three times what it did a
landed at Vera Cruz or Paso del Norte. s
Trave'lers on horsebacic in northern A
Mexico traversing these vast, treeless is
and mel41looly plains stop at night for. i
camp; and )iding the telegraph poles e
accessile itidtirably seasoned,- cut
them down for firewood. And this is
not all. The humble ranchero, desir- a
ing a stock of wire with which to fence a
in an inclosure, goes with hip peon ser- t
vants and cuts down a mile or two for
use, leaving poles oftentimes prostrate.
I have myself seen poles wireless, and
also long stretches of wire without
poles.
IIONEYCDOMILNC THE POLES.
And the poles brought so far at so i
great an expense have other enemies be- i
sides man. There is the insignilcant c
looking worm, thle "jengen," which mn
sidiously honeycombs the poleA till some r
tine day they fall at the breath of a c
breeze, strewing fragments of wood c
over the ground. This is a formidable g
opponent of telegraph communication i
in Mexico, and any bright American t
who can show how to keep it out of the
poles may fairly demand a reward from
the Mexican government. .
"Y los pajaros son enemigos tambien" 9
(and the birds are also enemies). There t
is a Mexican woQdpecker .who sits up
toward the tops of the poles and preks
and pecks for whole days, till the top
comes off, and wires and cross arms go, s
too. A great rogue is this Mexican r
woodpecker, the sworn enemy of tele
graph poles. The linemen (celadores) t
shoot him when they can, but of. what
use? One dies and forty come after r
the funeral!
And then the white ants, those in
d.ustrious unseen hollowers out ot' tim

absolutely: is good for nothing tas an t

that It is hard work wvith a stout and

FIOJITINGI OFF1 Il P UMA.
Such are some parts of the Mexl(can
* states of Tabasco and Yucatan, and it
is through such regions that the tele
graph which connects the Mexican
capital with important points like San
Juan B3aptista or San CJristobal must
penetrate. This is a country wvhere the
linemen go in couples, and armed with
rifles to fight off the fierce "puma," or
Mexican tiger (tigre), who a'saults man
and is especially ravenous for telegraph
constructors! Thbe-- mI'$x'eneyr
-. -.. dow- frr the hot coast country shoot
many a puma while out' attending to
their lines.
* A scarcely less formidable antagonist
is found in tihe monkey tribe whoi in
habit the jungles and chaparr'al of Tiab
asco. Literally thie "wvoods are fnll of
them." Their favorite diversion, when
net in quest of food, is to betake them
selves to the telegraph line for gymnastic
exercises and linemen assert that often
100 able bodied monkeys may be seen
swvinging on the wire, lestooned, mon
key fashion, by looping their tails. The
continuous vibration of these forest
gymnasts starts the iron nails used on
the cross arms, and these often come
clown, bringing the wvire wvith them.
And it is not a safe matter to under
take to disperse these robuist monkeys
who play the dickens with the telegraph
lines m the sparsely 'nhabited state of
Tabasco. Linemen have iound that on
shooting a monkey swinging on the
wire they have been pursued biy a whole
regiment of monkeys, who, with stones
and nuts, have pelted them severely.
"It is,no j.oke (n'o es broma)," said a
lineman recently, "to have a tribe of
monkeys pursue one; they are very
strong (muy fuertes) and can hit with
a stone or a stick ina fashion to make
a man howl with pain, a thing the
monkeys enjoy hugely."
In the , coast. country, especially on
tile gulf of Mexico side, the wvires, fronm
the humid condition of the- air, oxidlize
rapidly, and a wire is found by experl
once to be in need of replacement ill
year's time. This adds l,vjily to ti
cost of keping up the sei~'u

sary to malte use of natives of those
regions, often imperfectly educated,
and from whom much must be borne,

The intersections should afterward be

labor it takes to make them and keep.
them in repair, the question of how the
most substantial ones can be made at
least cost is. worth noting. We wish
to describe one which - we know to be
"a good thing;" though possiblo,others
may claim to have better. Posts should
be set at the usual distances, and light
rails and some common bale wire made
ready. Two persons can work to better
advantages than one In putting up the
fence; drive a staple, into which one
end'of the wire Is fastened into posts
just where the frat rail is to be put; lay
in the end qf the rail and ca,the
wire over it .nd dtive another 'staple
over the wire:'just abovO this ril,' irst
drawing the- wire tight;:proceed in-the
same manner with the next above, and
so on, until as many are put up ai re
quired; the upper end of the wire may
be fastened above the post or another
staple driven into which the wire may
be made fast. The advantages of this
style of fence are, that it. is not expen
sive; the ends -of the: rails cannot split
out as when spikes are driven into
them; it takes but little room, doing
away with the hedge rows.
TRANSPLANTING VEaTAn3,ES,.
The common practice of transplanting
early vegetables from hot-beds is usual
ly performed without any previous pre
paration of the roots. But as they
always meet with some check in the
removal, various modes are adopted for
preventing it in those plants most affec
ted by it, such for instance as cucum
bers, tomatoes, etc. One mode Is the
use of small pots, from which the plants
are taken to set in. open ground.
Another Is planting the seed on inver
ted sods, which are lifted out with the
growing plants on them, and set into
the ground. One of the best modes,
however, is to employ fat turnips,
scooping them out and filling the cavity
with fine mould. to receive the seed.
When the plants are large enough; tho
whole is taken up and the turnips set
twvo or three inches beneath the sur
face. There Is no mutilation of the
roots, no check in growthi, and the
turnip soon decays.
