The Momentum of Heat.

Heat is one of the modes OF motion.
The sun is it's source. Vegetation
springs up, natures and..decays as the
continued round of change goes on.
Old forms are buried beneath the new
which rise upon their ruins. Thus
have immense beds Of fuel been hidden
for centuries beneath the earth's sur
face. Born Of motion from the sun
acting upon matter, these deposits
represent stored-up inertia, to be
changed into momentum.
All matter is ponderable, or has
weight, whether it be gaseous, or fluid,
and Of course possesses momentum
when under motion.
Ia speaking of the motion OF par
%ticles, their weights are to be consid-
cred those which have the highest
motion have the least weight.
The carbonaceous deposits, called
coal, are simply combined elementary
| particles Of different natures, and,
when set flee, give out their force to
whatever they may come in contact
with. Phosphorus and sulphur have
their particles easily disturbed; Tor
this reason they are put upon matches.
The motion of the hand easily sets
their momentum free the wood OF the
match is next acted upon, then light
kindling matter, then the coal. On
and on this process goes, increasing IL
force rs fresh fuel is added,
IL is momentum from first to last
originally stored in the coal, and sci
free to be used for the benefit of man
To apply it in a manner that will utll
i2e it best is his province. When waite
receives this transferred momentum, o.
heat force, among it's W PARTICLES, i
becomes steam. Steam is simply watel
in molecular motion. When the watel
has received it's molecular motion, OF
when the stenm is formed, by It's mo
mentum applied to the piston OF th'
engine, the wheels are turned, the tran
is set in motion, and continues unit
the momentum is restrained by outside
resistance or the supply Of fuel i

How to Make Corn Growing Pay.

I consider the cultivation of corn
to be the most important crop IN
This or any Of our western states, for II
VIC have plenty Of corn we shall have
fat hogs, fat cattle, fat horses, and, II
needed, bred for the family. Many
fail in producing a good crop simply
from q lack of cultivation. There Is a
shoddy system of corn culture, as we'll
as in many other things on the farm.
A great many over-crop by Improperly
attempting to cultivate too much land.
Many try to cultivate forty and hfty
acres to the hand, and in e~ndeaVorlng
to get 80 much land planted they pillow
too shallow, slash in their corn with a
planter, without previously narrowing
or cross. marking the land, and when 1t
comes up they find they have a bad
stand, in some places the corn being too
thick and in others too thin. Or course
they cannot get the time to thin it
where it is too thick. They therefore
let it go, and when the corn and weeds
are about knee-high, they go INTO the
field with d two-horse cultivator, II
plow it two or three times and lay 1t
by. This is probably all they will get
done by the first of August, instead OF
the first of July. When the time comes
for gathering the crop, they attribute
their short crop to the ~chinch-bug. But
this is not the cause (; for | kept the
chinch-bug from doing me any damage
by deep blowing and thorough culture;
The most of my crop of 1873 averaged
sixty bushels to the acre, while the
average crop of the country is not over
twenty-five. Twenty acres to the hand;
deep plowing ; thorough narrowing;
marking off both ways; and planting
by hand or the planter, if necessary ;
replant when any hills are missing (;
thin to two stalks to the hill, IS In sub
stance, my plan.
/ think that if we would make our
rows nearer together and have fewer
stalks to the hill, it would be better.
I usually pillow my corn four times,
using the iron beam, double shove
plow instead of cultivatcrs. | do al
this before the wheat harvest com
} mences, and often after ! harvest L g
!, through with u hoe and cut out all tn
struggling weeds, so that none arc per
mitted to go TO seed. / have neve
failed to raise u good crop OF orn.-

Six MmLIoNs. About two years ago,
DIR. J.. Walker, an old and prominent
physician of California, discovered, by
actual experience upon his own system,
a medicine which may honestly be
termed ga boon to suffering humanity. "
Being a combination of herbalistio ex-
tracts, pungent and sour to the taste,
and yet possessed of gentle stimulative
characteristics although entirely free
from alcoholic named it Vinegar Bit
tiers, and despite the prejudice existing
among his profession, against all pa
tented medicines, he determined to
brave the jeers OF his brother practi-
TONERS, and give to suffering humanity
the benefit OF his accidental discovery.
He did so, and the benefits from its
use became known. The demand IN
creased, and immense quantities were
sold, at a merely nominal price. Its
merit is told in the fact that Sin two
years over six millions of bottles have
been sold" and still the demand in
creases. Surely such a man should be
ranked among the benefactors OF the
human race.

The Effects of n Washington Season


ApropOs of the close of the Wash
ington season, "Griselda' says, in a
letter to the Hartford Times "Ihe
old folks are not sorry that the time has
come when expenses may be curtailed,
and the comfort and quiet OF home
once more enjoyed. The young ladies
arc in the pouts. They say that it is
so stupid at home In truth, they
will miss the excitements upon which
they have lived for the last three
months. They took 80 much pleasure
in wearing their elegant silk dresses
every day. Then, too, they had Just
acquired the art OF being tied back
until they were like trussed fowls. The
siding gait, the bow of recognition,
which resembles the shy OF a horse,
the affected smirk on the face, tho IN
sipid conversation, will all have to be
laid aside among the plain home friends,
who laugh at all such concelts. There
are some pretty spoiled girls who need
the change to bring them back to COM

Debt.
CnnntrY.


The twenty largest national debts III
the world amount, therefore, in the az,
gregate, to 500, $50, 00O, 900. If we aad
$500, 900, 600 for the smaller debts, inc
national indebtedness of the world Is
figured up at 1923, $50, 600, 600.
The debts of twenty countries en-
braced in the above table alone impose
an annual interest charge OF SUI, loo,-
600 upon their inhabitants, to which
about $57, $50, 900 must be added for
the unenumerated debts, making a TO-
tai annual charge of s 1000, 600, 900 on
the taxpayers of the world, or OF twice
the sum which France, the country with
the largest revenue in the world, is an
nually raising.
The rate of interest which these coun-
tries are severally paying on the nom
inal amount of their debt should not be
COMPOUNDED with the rate at which they
can borrow money at present. Some
of these are stated as follows, the rates

Mules vs. Horses,

A writer in an agricultural paper
saws "While horse.breeders are
sounding the praises of thoroughbreds,
trotters, Percherous, Cl~ydesdale, and
all the host of strains and breeds,
claiming untold good qualities for the
one and the other, we seldom or never
hear a single note in favor OF that use

amid the hum OF cities, in the very
bowels Of the earth, these patient, per.
severing, ong-lived 'hewers OF wood
| and drawers Of water are Flooding

it will be said that mules move slowly,
that they arc tricky, that they are fire.,

these traits, and some have none OF

CneTAN DISCOVERIES. The Pail Mall
Gazette says . "The latest interest
ing archaeological discovery has been
made in Crete. The monks OF q con-
vent which occupies the site OF the an
cient and once celebrated town OF Aptera
have dug up two life-size female statues
draped after the fashion of ladies who
moved in society 5000 years ago,
The question as to the identity OF these
statues has, it is stated, raised a lively
controversy among local archmologists.
By some it is maintained. on the
strength of a barely legible inscription
on the pedestal of one of the statues,
that they represent a daughter of the
emperor Claudius. The inscription IS,
however, so clumsily cut, and repre-
sents so rude u contrast with the OK
duisite chiscling of the figures them
selves, that it is supposed by others to
have been made by nm inexperienced
hand at a comparatively recent epoch
The statues, which attract great inter
