the Croton Aqueduct was recently made by the
Chief Engineer, who passed through the aqueduct
and personally examined every foot Of 1t from
Croton Dam to Manhattanville. The aqueduct was
found in general good condition. At a few points
some slight repairs were needed and made. To
make proper examination it was necessary to
entirely empty the aqueduct. The water was Tor
this purpose shut Off at CrotOn Dam for f0rty-eght
hours. During this time the supply OF water for
the city was drawn from the reservoirs located in
the city. which were, of course, drawn down seve-
raj feet by the operations but they have since been
filled up, and are now full to high water line. Since
the reservoirs have been filed systematic clean
Ing out OF the entire system OF mains and pipes has
been going on by securing them out by means Of
blOW-offs and MIGRANTS. In time more or less sedi-
ment is collected in the bottom OF the pipes, which
not only impairs their capacity, but may slightly
affect the taste OF the water. This securing out OF
the pipes Is now nearly completed.
me Chlef Engineer says that the reports that
dead nsh or other putrid matter is in any Of the
crvors Is entirely untrue, and that the writer's OF
all such statements have been imposed upon by de-
signing persons nor Is there any truth In the state
ment that the water in its passage through the
aqueduct is affected by bad gases. The aqueduct is
not now and has not been even entirely FUN of
water nor are any OF the ventiators OF the aque-
duct closed up, but all OF them open and are as
free air passages as they ever were.

Milking with Dry Hands.

I believe that much of the milk gets
tainted with noxious or bad odors
before it reaches the pail. Some per-
sons, and hired help, especially, have .
habit of wetting their fingers with the
milk once in a while, and then wetting
the cows teats, as they say, to make
them milk easier. Now this wetting
process causes much foul stuff TO drop
from the hands or teats in the pail
while milking. This is all wrong.
Cows can be MIXED as easy with dry
hands as vet ones. have been in the
habit of milking COWS; and although l
have met with hard mixers that re-
quire their teats to be softened in order
to draw the milk, have generally
found it easier and pleasanter to milk
with dry hands. If the teats are dirty,
the udder should be washed with tepid
water and allowed to dry before milk
ing; and if the teats are very hard and
tough to draw, the COW had better be
turned into beef, or kept to raise calves

New Mode OF Cleaning Wool.

The Manchester Eraminey gives q de-
scription of a new mode of cleaning
wool, which excites considerable inter-
est among English manufacturers. By
the new process wool is cleaned without
the use of alkalies, thereby, as the
patentees claim, "preserving the fiber
and maintaining the elasticity and soft
ness OF the wool in its natural state"
The patentees claim that the invention
will allow of saving of 5 per cent. in
fiber, and the wool will work better
with one-half the quantity Of oil now
generally used, that more work can be
done on the carding and other ma
chinery, and the wool spun to much
greater length without any diminution
in elasticity or strength; that in dying
the colors greatly excel in depth and
brilliancy; and that the cloth made
from the wool thus prepared is superior,
both in appearance and reality, than
under tie old system. The first pro-
cess takes place in large room sur
these is filled with water, and into this
the rough wool is " fed" by an attend
ant. 1t is then passed through iron
rollers and squeezed nearly dry, and
sent into second vat, which contains
fusil oil. The refuse oil and water after
this process are passed into tank and
pumped into stills, where the oil is ex-
tracted and recovered for future use.
The third cistern in the initiatory pro-
cess con tains pure fusil oil, and from
No. 2 the wool, by this time compare
lively pure, is passed over rollers into
it. The oil from No. cistern is utilized
in the same way as that of No. 2, being
run into large vat, cleansed and used
again. No. and No. 5 cisterns are
filed with water, and the wool having
been passed through these and their
accompanying rollers, the first part of
the process is complete. Of course, on
the fiber being washed tits rather damp,
although perfectly bleached and heauti-
fully soft. 1t is then packed into large
baskets like "skips," and sent by a
hoist to an upper floor, where it is dried
and made ready for manufacture, by
being spread over an apparatus known
as Petrie's patent, which is fitted with
hot water pipes and with revolving fans.
Another apparatus, on a somewhat
different principle, is in course of con
struction. Atpresent the wool is COM
pletely dried in little more than an
hour from its being sent from the
bleachers

that, at the Worth Farm, fine porker
