Now Kaffirs Bank Their Money. The natives of that part of South. Africa which to a great extent is in habited by Bushrien and Hottentots have a peculiar s.-stem of banks and banking. These Kaffirs, a-mong whom this curious system of banking obtains, live near Kaffraria, in the south of the Colony ejuntry. The natives come down from their country to trade in the several villages and towns in large numbers, stay with the Boers for a time, then return to Kaffraria. Their banking facilities are very primitive, and consist entirely of banks, of deposit alone, without banks of dis count or issue, and they have no cheeks. But still they enjoy banking privilege;, such as they are. F'rom those who trade, of their own number, they select one, who for the occasion is to be tbeir banker. He is converted into a bank of deposit by putting all the money of those whose banker he is into a bag, and then they sally forth to the stores to buy what ever they want. When an article is purchased by any of those who are in this banking ar rangenent the price of the article is taken by the banker from the deposit money bag, counted several times and then paid to the seiler of the article. after which all the hank depositors cry out to the banker in the presence of two witnesses selected: -"You owe me so much:" This is then repeated by the witnesses. The gen eral accounting comes between the banker and his several depositors, when all desired purchases have been aade. after which all the natives de part for their northern wilds.-Tit-Bits.

A farmer in Paxton, Worcester County, Ulass., who settled upon an abandoned farm about two years ago, is reported to have raised on eight acres this year 7500 bushels of pota toes, 25,000 cucumbers-the latter from a single acre-830 barrels of cabbages, 700 bushels of tomatoes, 350 barrels of carrots, 600 bushels oi parsnips, 1100 bushels of turnips, 400 bushels of beets and 1100 heads of cauliflower, besides squashes and some other truck ad libitum, and all the vegetables used by the family. Of course it is presumed that these pro ducts were marketed at a profit, and, that being the case, it is easy to see why many of New England's aban doned farms are being reclaimed. Boston Cultivator. GrowlnX Turnips. We have never seen a crop of 1000 bushels of turnips grown on an acre, though we saw one field that came very near it, exceeding 900 bushels, if we remember rightly, but at a farm ers' institute in New Brunswick one speaker told how he succeeded in growing 1000 bu::hels per acre. He took a poor piece of ground in the fall, and after he had plowed it he put, on thirty tons of manure to the acre and harrowed it in. -He wants no manure plowed in unless it is to be plowed up again in the spring, harrow lightly and furrowed two feet apart about two irches deep. In the fur rows he strewed 250 pounds of super phosphate to the acre. He uses two pounds of specially selected turnip seed to the acre. When they are two inches high he thins them to*eighteen inches apart. After this he keeps the horse cultivator ranning two or three times a week betwen the rows. As he grows them principally as a suculontwinter food for.his stock, he i~ws eaily, that they may have time to grow. When we used to grow them we gave greater distance between the rows and did not sow them until July, and most of them grew as large as dealers cared to have them fe table use, while the small and thL very large were saved for the stock. When we could sell the best at fifty cents a bushel or more we thought it was more than they were worth for -stock feeding. Feed to a Finish. Never before in the history of the trade has there been so wide a margin between half-fat and prime, ripe beeves as exists at present. The situation offers every inducement for feeders to make their cattle fat, and on the other hand the wide range in value plainly points to the penalty that must he paid by those who disregard the law of supply and demand and persist in c rowding half -ripe cattle on a market already over-supplied with that class. |Many of the unlinished cattle marketed ji uring the past few weeks would with ' to ninety days' longer feed have co ' t eventy-five cents to $1 more ier hue ounds, which would be .ost. ad la . ease i wegh: would near y oniset the cor d labor. While we do not antici- s te any further advance, except for a cc w fancy holiday cattle, we ao look p r a good steady demand and satis actory prices for well-fattened cattle blh r an indefinite period. Where a a an is feeding a considerable number E cattle it is an excellent plan to keep m >pping out the bunch and sending in a load or two of the fattest as fast as i ey are ready. This not only divides. I i e risk and gives the cattle left be- I s iind a better chauce to mature but to iso avoids the dead loss ol holding te pe cattle, as there is no profit in p eding a steer after he is ready forg arket. It is poor policy to hold a I ,ig drove of cattle simply because 1ere is a light end of one or two loadsu hat is not finished. The feeder who's ~arefully watches his drove and ships f he fattest steers as fast as ripe and w den pushes the others along to the ame condition is, other things being qual, the successful one. Exhausted Soils. :rofessor L. H. Bailey, of Cornell v Iniversity Experiment Station, says that impoverished soils are usually e c those that have been neglected. Not it aving been tilled they have become eloddy, hard and foul. They may ic lack in humus, which can be reme- w ied by stable manure or plowing nder green crops, or they may lack a; ome one of the three important fer- i tilizing elements. An average of! hirty-four analyses of soil shows that an acre of land may contain in t eight inches of the surface soil 3217 ounds of nitrogen, 3936 pounds of hosphoric acid and 17.597 pounds of potash, beside what may i>e in stones and gravel which will not pass through esses one-fifth of an inch square. n T'his would be enough to grow abcuth 200 ordinary crops if it was all avail- jP able. It becomes so by action of hat he calls " film water," that is the i, water adhering to the smaller particles , of soil, ii this water mingles wit:h the a umus to develop humic a.cid. But r this water must be drained down through the surface soil to the water a bed below, that the air may penetrate the soil. If it does not, it absorbs et, evaporates and leaves the land eold. When the water drains off an-I the surface is well tilled it becomes arm, and the water is drawn up byt apillary attraction, thus preventin~ loss by drought as well as brings back: the dissolved fertilizing elements to the surface or near it, where the plant roots cnn find them. On many sols% these two items of drainage and till age are more needed than fertilizers though most effectual when the soil i made light or porous and warm by~ the addition of humus or vegetable matter. Excesive Fat Frevents E:g Formnation. In some way excessive fat destroys the breeding~power of animal.4, a.s is. well known by the men that put them in what is calIed show condition. Fax in tiie hen seen?s to destroy'not on' the power of elaborating eggs, but also the p6wer of the organs to eve'n produce the embryo of the eggs. KEl' a hen that is not tat and, though sne may not be laying eggs at the time, large numbers of embryonic eggs wiil be fonrA. Someti-nes these emt>ryonic egga vemain undeveloped for a very long time, showing that the organa tht probeile them are busy a long Lime before the organs that develop I the eggs have begun work. EvidentlyI the latter require periods of rest be tween every clutch of eggs. But avery fat hen when killed shows not the slightest trace of these em bryonic eggs. The function to even produce the germs seems to have de parted. The writer has killed hens that he did not think too fat to lay and has found them in this condition, and that, too, at a season when other hens were laying vigorously. At just what stage of fatness the lien is rendered impotent to produce eggs science has not yet determined, or whether this stage varies in the hens of different ages. It is without doubt true that many hens are kept for years at a total loss as to cost of keeping, for certainly many do not lay an eg from one year's end to another. There may be other elements enter ing into the question that we do not yet understand, and it may be tbst other things beside excessive fat pre vent egg formation and development. But with the limited light we now have on the subject it is probable that the best way to keep a flock culled down to the actual layers is to keep the fat hens killed off. This leads to the remark that some hens get fat under any system of feeding. The writer has been surprised when feed ing a ration balanced against fat to find here and there a hen laying on fat and ceasing to lay eggs. Evidently fowls show the same characteristics as breeds of larger live stock-the ability with some to develop size and fat at the expense of every other func tion. Pics For the Dairy .kariuer. The best and most profitable way of disposing of skim milk and buttermilk is to feed them to pigs. Wherc but ter is made extensively, or even on a small scale, there is opportuniity-for, eeping pigs at a very slight-cost. If the required number are not raised upon the farm, they may be purchased at six weeks old, or at weaning time. For a few weeks at least after weaning they will thrive best on sweet skim milk. Buttermilk is also good, but should not be fed undiluted, or scours may result. With plenty of warmed milk combined with bran, shorts or other ground feed-of which corn should form but a small portion, if any-pasture if conveniett, &Ad pure water at all times, pigs which have re ceived good care through the mother previous to weaning them will grow to thrifty maturity. The practice of keeping over pigs or shotes until a year old or more is al most if not quite out of date. Quick returns make the profit in raising hogs for market. It must be an exceptional case which would warrant keeping them longer than six to eight months. As fast as the pigs of one lot are fattened and sold, others should be ready to take the places of those dis. posed of. It is far better, in the witer's estimation, which is based upon considerable experienace. to fe ed milk to pigs rather than to ca4ves, ex cept in the ease of heifers or an ex ceptionally fine male, which it might Lbe desirable to raise. A pig at, six months will bring nearly asme a sete r at three times that age. At; od to raise them for b i, while in : months the pig will be ' n)rime ndition for sale and return a go The hog is one of the most profita-q e animals the farmer has. Consuming it does the refuse of which P other disposal could well be ~ ade upon the farm, looked upon the lowest of domestic an als, doomed too often to exist in thy quarters and receive only the ightest attention as to material comn rts, yet the pig repays his owner nfold profit for his keeping. While I gs undoubtedly thrive better when yen a liberal supply of sweet skim ilk for a time after weaning, they 1l do fairly well without it, if fed on bran and middlings made into a p with water. Whey from cheese etories while sweet is better than tter for this purpose, but is not 'ailable in many localities. Farmi and Garden Notes. Skim milk and Indian meal are the iry best food for pigs. Flat stones where abundant are the eapest and best material for floor Lg pigpens. Probably the best lice exterminator *r poultry is a good dust box filled th common road dust. Potash is the chief fertilizer to be plied to fruit trees, particularly:af r they come into bearing. A pound of meat scraps to twenty ye iens is about the right propor n. Feed every other day. Often when pullets are not laying, a tion of meat twice a week at this 1 me of year will start them at work. In most cases, it is crowding that ake hens get into the feed trough. [ake the trough long and give them lenty of room. Roots and straw arc very deficient albuinons material, consequentlyf 'here a little oil cake or pea meal is dded to a diet of this kind excellent sults are reported. In arranging a pigpen, give special ttention to the construction, so that can be easily cleaned and supplied 'ih fresh bedding. A pigpen should cleaned out every day. There is every reason to believe at in erder to have good layers it is cessary to have good laying stock. his is the rule applied to cows, orses, sheep and hogs, so why should1 not apply to the poultry as well. Draft horses should rarely be driven aster than a walk in taking exercise. he requi;e much less than road ters or running horses. No draft orses should have less than five or ix miles a day and roadsters can eas, yy go to six to ten miles.

SS it is evident tha't the public generally will pay no atten tion to the wide tire law un til it has been tested in the courts-that, in fact, being the Cali fornia practice as to all laws-those who were active in securing the pas sage of the law should lose no time in filing information against those who violate it. It should not be done in malice, nor should any general crusade be commenced, for public sentiment is in favor of the law, and the failure to prepare for complying with it is due partly to its ambiguity, but mainly to the arrogant position assumed by the trade, some of whom openly avow their intent to defy the law. Test cases should be carefully selected so as to avoid those expressions in the )aw which are ambiguous or which ;deal with interstate commerce. The State probably has power to prevent the sale of wagone which it deems im proper to be used. It certainly has p,ower to prevent the use of such wagons upon the public roads. - The only question in this case is as to whether the Legislature has expressed its intent so clearly that the courts 'cannot avoid convicting on proper -evidence. For example, the law speaks of a "tubular or iron axle," when it Omeans a "tubular steel or iron axle." a man is found using a narrow tired "steel" tubular axle wagon he nay claim that the law does not reach his case. Prosecutions should not be left to irivate initiative, which woui lead to'bad feeling in neighborboods; the law fails to make it the -duty of any public official to propeaute offenses and we may be certain that no such official will move in the matter. It -wilie'proper for grvnges, wheelmen or other.orgazizati'ons sr,3cially inter ested 'in 'good roads to take up the matter and arrange to at.once bring a sufficient number of test cases in each 'county, and against both those selling and those using wagons whose tires do not comply with the law, with the landerstanding that wh3n once it has been made clear that. the law will ;tand, there must be immediate and luniversal compliance with its pro visions.-San Francisco Chronicle. The Good 1coais of Nev Jersey. The great movement for improved roads in the United States originated, it is generally believed; in Essex County, N. J., more than thirty years ago. Snme progressive men in the Board of Freeholders conceived the idea of building a system of hard roads by the macadam process, and a special act was passed constituting a Road Board. The bulk of the cust was assessed upon the county at large and was provided for in the annual taxes. Newark paid four fifths of this tar.. Th re was much opposition and consta.# protest, but the work went resolutL on, The good resMZts soot became evi dent.

Union 09 nty su bse- I ently procured a law.fbr county aid t road building, and ti.ie work wasi osecuted there witli the same ergy and good results. This led to e enactment of the law for State aid, der which hundreds of milss of new proved roads have been built in all tions of the State. In Essex ounty the improvement has gone on nder the State Aid act until the >~nty is a network of good roads. or road improvements projected for e present year the county will pay out $55,000. The !aw imposes one-third of the st of new roads on the State, ten er cent. on the property owners and e balance on the county. By the' w law townships can petition inde endently of the Board of Freeholders r State aid, and this will promote oad building in counties which have teen backward by reason of the un rillingness of the county authorities assume the county's share of the Dimeiut Road Bufnding in Indiana. DeKalb County's famous sink hole giving the Commissioners no little rouble and expense. This swamp ,erhaps comes nearer being bottom ess than any other spot in northern niana. At least three bridges are known to have sunk out of sight, and sow the Commissioners have given he contract to Charles Rugman, of ~uburn, to construct the bed upon which another bridge will be erected. he work of grading commenced three weeks ago, and the dirt which as filled in it gradually kept sinking, and by the next dsy none of the prey-. jous day's work would be in sight. This method of filling was continued for several days, believing all the time that a solid footing would soon e found, but with no avail. The earth failing to remain in sight, the workmern were sent to the woods, and brush to the depth of six feet was iled in the roadway, after which long jogs 'n.re laid lengthwise across, with ne end resting on the - solid banks. n these were fastened planks, and then the earth hauled in and the road bed formed. Several attempts have been made to ascertain the depth of this hole, and it is known to be at least eighty-nine feet deep. It is be ieved to be mucky at least to a depth of 200 feet. The West Has the Fever. A bicycle dealer says:"The West has the road fever bad, or perhaps I should say good, because it is the best fever that any section of the country eve- got. Every penny put into a good road comes out of it again one hun dredold. The mistaken idea that the bicyclists are the only people that reap' the benefit of good m oads is disappear ing as rapidly as a misty theory of that kind ought to. I suppose every well informed person to-day realizes the' many advantages of road improvement I the West last year there were een- 1 tructed thousands upon thousands of ciles of good roads. Now, I agure~ that every mile of good road means a sale of from ten to twenty bicycles, depending mainly upon whether the oad runs through a thickly or spal'e ly nanlated~ neighborhoad?~ A GREAT TRUCK GARDE14 IAexico May Supply Us with Our Early Vegetables, t Yrom recent developments it is ap parent that the Southern States will not possess the monopoly of supplying northern cities with garden products, I says the Philadelphia Record. The science of refrigeration and the con struction of refrigerator ships and r frigerator cars has reached such a high state that it is now possible to raise fruit, it might be said, in almost any part of the world, and carry it to any other part.' The fact has been for years demonstrated by the shipment df carcasses from Australia to England by the shipload, where an enormous trade has been built up. The same principle can be applied to -the transportation of fruits. A very large proportion of the produet of California is now shipped eastward in refrigerator cars. and some of the finest fruits on display in the East come from that State in this way. The agriculturists in the South have re cently had their attention directed to the advisability of diversifying crops by the high price paid for garden pro ducts. The market garden has of late years become a very important factor In southern agricultural economy. Enterprisi.ng capitalists, since the de velopment of Mexico by railroads have been looking' at the possibilities of cli mate there, and have taken steps in some cases to establish plantations for the growth of fruits on a large scale, which it is their intention to ship by re frigerator processes to United States ta ts and then to inland points. The schemes read well, and apparently are weil based. There appears to be no reason why garden truck could not be raised-!n Mexfco and delivered safely and profitably to a great many cities nd towns throughout the United States. A great many products there are four to eight weeks ahead of the South. Dairy farming has become very profitable. Milk in large cities sells at 25 cents in Mexico; butter at 36 to 4S cents a pound. Labor costs only from 12 to 25 cents a day. Sugar cane turned into brown sugar yields from I $70 to $95 an acre gross. Green barley I and corn are raised f' large quantities for fodder. Cattle raising since the Spanish war has been greatly stimulated, and the western cattlemen are now therg_lay ing the foundations for big ranches. Wheat is cultivated on the high table lands of Central Mexico, but It is not as good as that grown in the States. Such products as coffee, vanilla, rub ber, cocoaput and cocoa are all raised in certain sections and raised profita bly.
