SWIMMING THE SEINE.

or all the things in the world which ap-
pear utterly worthless, are soap-suds. Mr.
Simmonds takes different view. He tells
us that "soap-suds, as a stimulant of vege-
table life, cannot be too highly appreciated. I"
We cannot 60 into his arguments on the
great value OF soap-suds aud it is sufficient
to say that, when poured out as manure,
they are OF prOdigious efficacy. The French,
who are up to everything in the chemical
line, have taken proper view Of the value
Of soap'sudS. Whether from private DWELL
ings in Paris, or from the barges OF the JlaR.
chiSSeuSeS, the Seine must have good deal o 1
soap floating about it in wasteful kind of
way, to say nothing Of the greasy pollution
from dead dogs and cats. There was for.
tune, il properly looked after. An enter
prising firm, fortified by the authority of the
Preiect, determined to begin system OF
skimming the Seine. You would imagine it
was nonsensial idOA. Quite a mistake.
BY uniting the skimmings Of the river with
the offal from hospitals, the firm is able, by
the aid Of chemistry. steam, aud cookery, to
iatten 5000 pigs, and to produce annually
SOC. .00U pounds Of soap. Let England touch
that ii she can! Can any one mention a
town in Great Britain where the most yalua-
BILE products are not senselessly foated of
down the cutters and sewers, never more to

Stuek Raising.
CRITICAL TIME FOR COLTS.

1t very often happens that in the third
year Of a colts life, it falls off in condition,
stops growing and becomes mysteriously y
poor and emaciated. Disease is suspected,
various nostrums and absurd specifics for i'm
aginary complaints are administered, which
fail Of effect, and it is only after lapse Of
time that measure of improvement takes
place, which, however, leaves the colt perma-
nently injured, and with an impaired consti.
tuition. At this period Of the colts exist
cnce, an important dental change is going
on. The central temporary milk nippers, or
cutting teeth, in the front Of its mouth, are
shed, and the permanent teeth take their
place. If the colt is at grass, it is almost
impossible for it to Craze, aud it suffers par.
tial starvation. This is the whole secret Of
many colts sufferings. The trouble in
such cases would be avoided by occasionally
examining the mouth. and when the absence
Of the nippers is observed to supply cut feed
of tender hay, with ground oats or soft
masheS, or cut green fodder This prOvis-
ion would tide over the necessarily occurring
period Of disability, and prevent the other
wise inevitable falling away and poverty Of
condition, with its disastrous results.-N. Y.

FIRST MOVING MACHINES.

The Oldest moving machines, though very
rude were used by the Gauls. A cart hav-
ing blades arranged in front, was pushed
forward into the grain by oxen hitched be-
hind, and thus cut off the heads.
A system Of six rotating scythcs was made
by Joseph Boyce in 1893, and an attempt
TO use the same principle was made by Com
pertz and Mason, in 1852 In lSll-lS15,
Smith, of Deanstone, brought out machine
10 which a short vertical revolving cylinder
carried knife on its lower end, but all these
rotating machines have proved impracticable.
Robert Meares. in Frome in Somersetshire,
established in 1900 the shear principle as
the only practical one. Salmon, in Woburn
in 1907, built machine with a row of blades
and fingers moving over them, AMI also
applied tbs reel The Scotch parson, Patrick
Bell, of Torfarshire, in 1926, anj William,
Manning, of Plainfeld, New Jersey, in 1882
we're the founders Of the present style of
machines. Manning was the first to attach
the draught at the side Of the machine, all
others previously having been pushed from
behind Obed Husscy, of Ciucicinuati, at
tached the side platform aud slit finger.
McCormic, then of Rockbridge, Va, now Of
Chicago, in 1884 improved the Manning aud
Hussey machine, and the appearance Of
these at the London Exposition, in 1851,
was the signal for their introduction into gen.
eral use.-Depdrtmem Report.

seven to ten cents per ID. One of the larg.
est shippers in this city has received letter
giving tho results OF the factory system,
when applied TO butter. near Montley, N.
Y, village about sixty miles from Ogdens-
burg, in one of the best dairy regions in the
United States. There are four butter facto-
ries 10 operation there, each Of which uses
the milk Of from 400 to 200 COWS; and last
fall when the best dairy butter was selling
for 33 cents per pound, the factory max
had no trouble in securing 43 cents. The
greater value the Of factory system is the regu.
lar quality Of the article produced, as when
people have TO attend to any work as reg
ular business, with their whole success at
stake. il is claimed to be much more carefui-
ly looked after than when il is one among
many duties equally or more important, as
in the case Of butter making in any ordinary
farmhouse. We fancy there is now very lit
tie cheese made for sale in Canada other
than in factories, and we can see no reason
why the system should not prove equally
advantageous in the manufacture Of but

TOO POOR TO TAKE A PAPER.

Moore, Of the Rural New- Yorker, was sit
ting in his Office one afternoon some years
ago, when n farmer friend came in and said :
"Mr. Moore, l likeyou paper, but times are
so hard cannot pay for it,
" Is that so, friend Jones? I'm very sorry
TO hear that you are so poor; if you are so
hard run will give you my paper"
80 no; / can't take ii rs II gift.n
"Well, then, let's see how we can kx it.
You raise chickens, believer"
"Yes, II few, but they don't bring anything,
hardly"
Don't they? Neither docs my paper cost

tion to make to you. ! will continue your
paper. and when you 60 home you may Sc
lect from your lot one chicken and call her
mine. Take good care of her and bring mo
the proceeds, whether eggs or chickens, and
we will call it square,"
"All right, brother Moore" and the fel-
low chuckled ut what he thought capital
bargain. lle kept the contract strictly, and
al the end OF the year found that he had
paid about four prices for his paper. lie
often tells the joke himself, and he never
had the face to say he was too poor to take a
paper since that day.

HIRED MEN, NOW AND THEN.

Donald G. Mitchell, in his pleasant book
entitled "My farm at Edgewood," says:
There lived some twenty or thirty years
ago in New England, race Of men,
American born, aud who, having gone through
a two winters course of district school cipher
ing and reading, became the most indefatiga-
able and ingenious of farm workers. Their
hoeing was sleight Of hand; they could make
an OK yoke, or an axe helve, on rainy days;
by adroit manipulation they could relieve
choking COW, or as deitly hive a swarm of
bees. Their fnrrows indeed were not the
straightest, but their control of long team
Of oxen was miracle of guidance. They
may have carried bit of Cavendish twist in
their waistcoat pockets; they certainly did
not waste time at lavations; but as farm
workers they had rare aptitude; no tool came
amiss to them they Graded, they churned,
if need were, they chopped aud piled their
three cords of wood between sun aud sun.
With bare feet, and keen-whetted six pound
Blanchard, they laid such clean and broad
swaths through the fields Of dewy herdsgrass,
as made sold countrymenn stare. BY a

oATs--AN OLD H UMBUG REVIVED

Andrew S. Fuller Of the RuraL NetO
Yorker, thus exposes an old humbug in the
N. Y. Sun:
1--WE have been shown (says correspon-
dent Of the St. Albans MesSenger) u sample
Of 'hul.less oats by Mr.. Jacob Smith,
Of Montpelier, who is introducing them as
seed for feld-culture in this state. They
resemble the common oat after the hull is
removed. In threshing, the grain comes
out Of the hull like wheat. Forty bushels
have been raised to the acre at the West
and the grain weighs 4S pounds per bushel.
Tho seed was brought to this country few
years since by laborer from Belgium, who
sowed it, but left before it was harvested, so
that nothing further is known Of its history.
1t is claimed that the grain makes an excel
lent meal, superior to that usually obtained
from the common varieties after huling, and,
as this forms quite an item OF food ut present
in this country, il this new acquisition can be
raised successfully, it will be very useful for
this purpose, as every farmer can easily raise
sufficient for his own use, at least. As there
must be at least three times the amount Of
meal in bushe Of this variety over common
kinds, il forty bushels can be raised from an
acre, il will be profitable crop to produce.
Bnt time which proves all things, will deter.
mine its adaptiveness to this country and its
value as crop"
We do not believe that our farmers will
be benefited by another "Norway-Oat" swim
die, or desire the dissemination Of any old,
inferior sort Of oats under new namc AS
our Vermont contemporary and his neighbor
Mr. Jacob Smith, appear to be little in the
dark 10 regard TO the "hull-less oats" men-
toned above, perhaps little Starlight may
help them TO see aud know something Of this
variety. The hull.less oat is the old AdUeRa
anda, or naked oat also known in English
sRricutural works as the Peelcorn or Piicorn
oat. 1t is probably the Oldest variety ex-
tant, and is supposed to be the original
"bread corn," cultivated by the ancient in
habitants Of Britain. 1t was superseded by
superior varieties long before Vermont be-
came a state. Its only merit was its hardi'
ness it produces n moderate crop where
other grain would not be expected to thrive.
| But it has been tried over and over again in
this country during the past Fifty years, and
condemned on account Of the liability OF the
grain to drop before fully ripe, besides being
less productive than the newer varieties. 1t
is seldom that half.dozsn years pass with
out this old oat being brought out as some
thing new and very desirable and before
us is an advertisement of firm in Wiscon
sin, who, in 1871, offered this same "naked
oat" under the name of bohemian oat," for
the very moderate price of ilty cents per
quart.

ROOTS ADAPTING. THEMSELVES
TO PROPER DEPTH.

Observing farmers have seen the effects of
deep planting in wheat fields, where the
mass Of roots FIRST thrown out at the grain,
several inches below the surface, is suppressed
ed by another mass much nearer the surface
A writer in the Pharmaceutical Journal
gives some other examples Of more striking
character. Snowdrop bulbs were planted
twelve inches beneath the surface. Sew
eral Of them succeeded in sending up leaves
to the surface, and produced flowers. When
the foliage began tc decay, they were taken
up, when the old bulbs a foot down were
found to have decayed and persisted, and
new ones formed four inches beneath the
surface Of the soil. On another occasion
some tulip roots had been left nearly uncov-
cred, or almost on the top Of the earth.
After years growth. these we're found to
be only a skin or shell, but tap-root had
struck down and formed healthy bulbs four
or Ave inches below. Thus roots instruct US
how they want to be planted.-COnntry Gen.
