IMPORTANT TO ALL USING STEAM
Observation-Disclosures now going on in
Boston, in utilizing the heat that escapes
into the air in the waste or exhaust steam,
are watched with interest, as the discoverer
Of the new process claims that it is possible
to reduce the cost of steam power GO per
cent. The process is to conduct the waste
steam through tubes of boiler filled with
bisulphide of carbon, fluid which boils at
ITO degrees Fahr., and at the temperature
OF exhaust steam gives pressure of G5
pounds to the inch. The yapor forme d
III the boiler is used to drive an engine, in
stead of steam, and after being used is con-
densed by cooling, returned into the boiler,
and used continuously, without loss. 1t is
claimed that by this process the same fuel
now required to operate 100 horse power
with the best and most economical engines in
use will produce $50 horse power, gain of
$50 per cent. Ii this shall be demonstrated,
arevoluton in the use of steam which will
stimulate all our Industries depending upon
motive power is impending.

A Frequent Cause OF Chiils and Fever.

DIR. r. L. Trail says, in the chronological
journal, that intermittent fever is known to
prevail Except in sporadic cases. only in dis
tricts where there is large amount Of vege-
table matter in a state ofdecomposition, and
this occurs more especially in times OF
drouth. In dry seasons, rotting wood and
other vegetation, usually innocuous because
under water, is exposed to tho atmosphere,
which it atlantis with the carnations of de-
cay. Wehave no evidence that any amount
o decaying vegetable matter on dry soil,
though it may be very unwhoesome, is es-
pecially conducive to the intermittent form
of fever. Moisture is an essential factor in
the causes. But all swampy lands are more
or less productive Of this type of fever in
dry seasons, and the prevalence of intcrmit-
tents in their vicinities always corresponds
with the quantity of decaying organic
matter.
Another source of the disease not often
though of. and seldom alluded to in medical
books, is rotting wood and other decaying
vegetable matter, in the cellars and door
yards of houses which are situated in damp
places. If wood, or any other decayiDg
vegetable matter, and water are allowed TO
accumulate in the immediate vicinity of
houses or stables, the water will become
stagnant, and malarial gases will be gener-
ated, causing intermittent fever in the occu-
pants Of the houses, and more obscure,
though analogous affection in the domestic
animals.
Many farmers wonder why the members
of their families are sick, and how their do
mestic animals become diseased, when il
they would only look at the stagnant water,
decayng otfnl, and accumulated cxcrement
in the immediate vicinity, they would find
the explanation in an ever-present malarial
atmosphere.

Is steam Cultivation Possible In America.

Innovations generally meet not only
with objections, but opposition. This is
true as regards the introduction of steam
culture in the United States. Many objec-
items are urged against it, some Of which
are simply opposition. Among other OBJ
iections, the cost of skilled labor necessary
to run the engines, and the alleged enforced
idleness of teams which have hitherto been
employed in performing work for which
the steam engine may be adapted, are con-
stantly urged against the experiment. Either
of these objections might as truly be made
against the employment Of steam engines
for any other purpose. Skilled labor, how
ever, is not found too costly to permit
steam power to be used in other employ
ments, and why should it in agriculture
Agriculture stands on no distinct ground
as compared with other pursuits, and steam
is profitably used in cutting feed and thrash
ing; why then should the process of plow-
ing be exempt from conditions which affect
1T equally with all other mechanical opera
tons 1t is objected that horses and mules
now busy would be thrown out of use. 1t
has been predicted before that steam-power
on railroads would render horsepower and
common roads and canals comparatively
useless. .hlE-.F
In the memory of many still young men
this objection has been seriously made,
and the decay of the horse-breeding interest
toretold but that day has not yet arrived.
nor is its arrival very likely from tho pres
ent outlook. And this objection is the
most serious one there is to be dealt with.
But it is safe to say that it is gratuitous
one. On the contrary, from experience in
the past, and in rational and unprejudiced
view, it may safely be predicted that not
only will no teams be rendered idle for q
day, but the services of many moro will be
needed to keep pace with the vastly In
creased works caused by the more rapid
blowing of lands.
A pair Of steam engines will pillow or cul.
tivate to depth of 80 inches, from 20 to
40 acres per day. There will be necessa-
ry to keep up with such vast amount Of
work corresponding labor for teams in
blowing headlands, planting crops and
keeping the accessory labors Of the farm up
to the new standard, to say nothing of the
labor Of handling the vastly-increased crops
consequent on the improved cultivation of
soils to depth of 30 inches. 1t is seen at
a glance that the ordinary team-power will
be inadequate for all this additional labor.
This objection may be cast aside, when
thus viewed, as untenable.
American agriculture is thriftless on the
whole, because hurried and imperfect. To
get rid Of our too abundant weeds, we need
occasionally to summer-fallow. How can
our present machinery perform this needed
labor? 1t is inadequate. The steam pillow
is wanted, if for this purpose alone. And
not many years will elapse before farmers
will see their way clear to invest profitably
the requisite amount of Sc, 900 to sl2 1000
in the, necessary engines and implements,
or they are less wide-awake than other
men.

New Hampshire-A Slight Difference Of OpIn
ion


ion
The reader of the New England papers
stands chance of getting confused about
the political situation. For instance, the
Springfield Republican says:
I" Mr.. Greeley's visit to New Hampshire
brings out such personal changes and such
demonstrations of popular feeling as leave
no doubt of the vote Of the State"
On the other hand, the following from
the Boston Traveller
"We are assured by both Democrats and
Republicans that there is but very little
enthusiasm for Greeley in New Hampshire,
and there is no hope among his supporters
there of carrying the State. Many of the
rank and file Of the Democracy will quiet
ly stay at home, while the disaffected Re
publicans can be counted by the fingers on
the hand. Gen. Tappan's influence will
affect only his vote. Those in position
to judge declare that New Hampshire will
give 5000 majority for General Grant"
