cultural New Alvnnta(;i' of Ilie Japan
: Chestnut Over Other Foreign Varieties.
Considerable Interest has ln-cn mani
fested of late in the Japan chestnut, which
hiw thus far seemed to thrive, better here '
than other members, of tho European
chestnut family (castanea vesca). I
Our nurserymen generally are ready to
speak a good word for this tree, and nre
recommending it, not only for its fruit, ,
but oa a pleasing object on the lawn.
The picture here given is an atumruDic
representation or.
one of ten burs
that were tho first
to ripen in lastsca
tton's crop at the
Monmouth nurse
ry, Uttlo Silver,
N. J., where the
Japan chestnut
haa been tested
along with other
foreign varieties.
The cut shows a
h ii r rruit.ninlni?
three nut, and JAPAN CHESTVCT.
may lc considered as an average specimen,
though some bun contain as many na
six nuts.
Iu regard to this tree Mr. Lovelt, pro
prietor of tho nursery where tho burr
shown in tho cut was crown, says: "Tho
tree seems to 1ms a good and thrifty grower
and nicely fitted for a place on the lawn,
us it branches out low and forms a close
compact head. It should he understood,
however, that the Japan chestnut varies
as much in size of tree and nut and in
bearing quality as our native sweet chest
nut or the English walnut."
About the fruit of this tree Mr. IOvett
very frankly says that it is neither as
brittle, tender nor sweet as our native
chestnut. Hut since, when roast!, it
compares favorably in quality with tho
Spanish chestnut so largely sold in cities,
ho has no doubt but that the Japan
chestnut crop, if produced in this country,
...... , - 4 J - - y - . .
would find ready sale for the purposes of
he now Imported Spanish nut and prove
profitable to tho producer.
The great advantage the Japan chest
nut has over other foreign varieties of the
chestnut family seems to be. its more
dwarfish luibit of growth, remarkably
early fruiting, its apparent hardiness,
which so far appears to be equal to our
native chestnuts.
Practical Sheep Culture.
Statistics make It appear that medium
wool commands a U-tter price now than
tine wool. In consideration of this fact a
Michigan sheen breeder, at the late meet
ing of tho American Merino Sheep Kegis
ter nssiK-lation, advices: First, the com
mon breeder ol the native rante r raising
sheep for the market couple his (lock of
coarse wool ewes with a good selection of
thoroughbred merino rams, ami thereby
increase the weight and Improve the qual
ity of llcccc w ithout decreasing the weight
of the carcass.
In eros-sititt the brooder further advises
lliat no one l-e led by any false notions of
economy to u.sc anything but a thorough
bred sire on tho (liK-k. In case one owns
tho common natives of tho country, the
uso of a well bred sire is all the more im
portant, for nowhere else will the evi
dence of his jxiwer to transmit his charac
teristics ! seen than on common stock.
The experiment of crossing coarse wool
rams on fine wool owes produces disss-j
trous failures, the result being, so fur as
I ho work In concerned, a grade not desir- J
able, owing to its variety. Tho result is
generally a light, dry, tough wool to cut, I
and frequently a surface on the sheep of
little fine wrinkles, over which it is diffi
cult to shear.
In consldoring the subject of public '
shearing matches, and tho infatuation for
producing a heavy fleece without due re
Kard to quality, this Michigan grower lie
lie.ved that the ambition to produce heavy
fleece cannot receive too much encourage
ment, provided the standard of excellence
can at the same time lie improved; then,
and not until then, should this depart
ment of the enterprise le considered
worthy of attention. For what can be
tho object in producing twenty-live tr
thirty pounds of wool which shrink so
much in cleansing that fewer jiounds oi
desirable wool nre obtained than from a
lighter fleece that lias gained greater
lencrth of staple. It is often the caw1 that
douse, short and very oily tleeee weigh.'
more than another that will cleanse out a
greater quantity of wool of superior
quality.
New Intentions in Hitrre's.
Numbered with novel productions in
way of barrels is a ventilated Imrrel intro
duced to public notice by Isaac A.Kerr,
of Muscatine, la., the inventor. This
package is descrilied by those who have
seen it a a bulging barrel, having Its
aides constructed of st raight parallel edged
staves or sluts, conve.xed longitudinally.
The staves are secured by woven wires iu
IKxsHion to form between the staves, ven
tilating openings enlarged from the ends
to the middle of the barrel. There is an
inner sTvious lining adapted to admit
ventilation through the ojenings.

Advantages of the Jeniejs.
The advantages of the Jerseys over other
breeds, according to Tho Live Stock
Monthly, are;
1. Jerseys make more butter annually,
compared with the food they eat, than any
other breed.
2. Jerseys make better butter than any
other breed better grain and better
flavor.
it. Jersey milk is the most profitablo
becanse it contains more butter jkt quart
than that of any other breed, it cream
rises quicker and its butter comes quicker.
4. Jersey butter brings from two to ten
cents more a pound than any other, as a
rule, throughout the United tat; hence,
on ninety farms out of a hundred where
butter is a specialty the introduction of
Jersey Mixxl will change butter making
from a dead loss to a net profit.
5. Mutter farming is more profitable,
healthful and refined than truck farming,
beef farming, poultry or pig raising.
6. Tor every cent lost on account of the
Jersey's small carauw, there are t wo cents
gained on account of her better butter and
larger annual yield.
Wo want llolstcJus and Ayrshires for
1 the general cheese and milk supply, we
want Shorthorns and Hereford for their
beef, but the country want the- Jersey
for her butter so let us have an end to
the opposition which this hrtwl haa met
with for forty years. lie who ppeeinlisos

not puITU iont air having been given,
I attribute the cause of mil

way when I went, into the house a
day or two afterwards. My first thought
I cannot doserile, for the vines were set
with an abundant crop of frutf.. A deci
t,ion to stop the ravages at. once was
quickly formed, as the use of sulphide of
potassium occurred to me. Therefore,
at l o'clock next morning I went into
the vinery with a pound of the snl-J
phide. I ut a quarter of an ounce into
two gallons of water and commenced to j
syrinw the vines. As soon as I had gone
all over them with the solution I com
Mcnccd to wash the foliage with clear i
water by turning it on through the hose,
in order to lo set tire against any evil that i
might occur from too great strcnt'th. I rc-

This is adjusted to the proper focus, and at

Some fishes have pectoral fins, as those
upon the chest are termed, so lurge that by
means of them they are sustained in what ap
peal's a short flight through the air, and to
such the name of flying fc-h haa been given.
Whether these fishes really use their fins as
wings is a question not yet decided. Some
observers maintain that thoy do, though only
for so long a time, of course, as the fins re
main moibt. Many Authorities in natural
history are, however, of opinion that the
wingtt simply act like a parachute or kito,
sustaining the fish after it has leaped into the
Air.
There aro more than thirty dintinct speck
of flying fish. Two sjiocios have been occa
sionally seen off tho British coast, one is com
mon in the Mediterranean sea. And Ave have
been found along our own shores; but in
general they are most abundant in the warmer
waters of the tropics.
Tho accompanying cut represents a specie
of this interesting fish.
A flight of flying fish forms one of the mot
pleasant of the strange sptvtacles that from
time to time enliven the tedium of a voyage
through tropicAl seas. The fish swim in
shoaU of a dozen to a hundred or more, aim!
whole shoal often leave the water, darting
in tho same direction through the Air and,
after descending into tho water At a distance
of 200 yards or more from the place where
they rose, quickly renewing their flight.
Sometimes tho dolphin pursues them, taking
great leiqie out of tho water and gaining upon
his prey, which take shorter and shorter
flights until at last they sink exhausted.
Sometimes the larger sea birds catch flying
fishes while they are in tho air. It does not
rt.viNO Kisit.
oem ti lw true that these llshes leave the
water merely to escajH' from danger, as is
sometimes supposi-d, but they apjiear, rather,
to exerci.so their powers, like other creatures,
very often from mere delight, in possessing
them and from the exuberance of their
happiness.
