MANURE FOR GRAPEs.-Our northern
vineyardists consider bone dust one of
the very best ''mineral manures" for
applying to grape vines, and it is to be
presumed it would be equally valuable
TO vines i'm Texas. Ashes are also excel
lent, and the same may BE- said of super
phosphates, and an occasional applica-
ton of lime will usually prove benefi-
cial.

into which pour the cream; then fold
another napkin, and lay il on top; these

passes two concentric circles mounted
upon a cross piece Of aluminium are re-
commended. The maximum of mag
netIzatiOn is at the north and south
sides of the rings, and decreases to the
neutral points east and west. The ad-

and recommended by the naval experts
who have examined it, are greater
sen nsitiveness, less sluggish motion,
and more freedom from the motion of

Strength m JoiRted dIrOn.-Structures
composed of several parts, in iron
work, must mainly depend, says an
English Journal, upon the joints or
means of connection between them,
for their strength and stability. In a
wrought iron plate girder, for exam
pie, the riveting becomes a very i'm
poItant element of strength, and no
correctness of mechanical design or
sectional area of parts will avail, If
one of the joints happens to be defec-
tive or weak. Every joint should. in
fact, be equally as strong, at the least,
as the material or parts connected, for
it is very clear, if it were not SO, the
sectional areas of the plates or pieces
would only be partially called into re-
auisition, and. indeed, the structure
would be no stronger than its weakest
joint, or its stability would be mea
surable by the strength of its points.
Taking, for instance, a cylindrical boil
Ter, its effective strength. tn resist the
pressure OF steam would only be that
of its weakest riveted joints.
As regards iron plates, or boiler
plates, it is known that they have less
tensile strength than the same iron
made into bars, this being due chiefly
to the process OF rolling iron into plates
of such thinness and it is also found
that a boiler plate is less tenacious
across the fibre than in its direction
its greatest strength being about
twenty to twenty-five tons per square
inch, while its least strength in the
transverse direction is about nineteen
tons per inch of section. In making
cylindrical boilers, therefore, it Is evil
IDENTIFY desirable TO put the plates in
their strongest direction round the
boiler, SO that the transverse pressure.
which is always, of course, the greatest,
shall have the strongest direction of
the plates.

The CLOTHES LINE.-Little things
properly attended to often, in the course
of a few years, save great deal OF eX-
pense in the aggregate. Ii is almost a
universal custom to leave the clothes
line out each week in a storm, if one
should occur soon after Monday. A few
thrifty housewives roll up the line over
the elbow aft r the washing is taken in,
but then it often gets into provoking
snarl, and is almost sure TO if one is in
a hurry. This can all be obviated by
erecting the simplest kind of windlass
at one of the end attachments, placing
it within box with a close cover. Any
boy with gumption will make it in an
hour, and after once in use it can never
be spared.

PRESERVING CITRoN.-Pare the citron,
and cut i'm small slices, not exceeding a
quarter of an inch in thickness; remove
all the seeds, weigh and put them in
alum water for two or three hours;
then pour the alum water off, and boil
i'm clean water until you can pierce them
with straw. Then make a syrup, al
lowing three-fourths of pound of
sugar to a pound of citron; place your
eitron in this syrup, and cook the same
as you do any other preserves. Just
before taking from the stove slice two
or three lemons according to the guam
tity of preserves you have, then let
them cook a minute longer, and they
are ready for use or to put away. If
cooked down too strong, the preserves
will become candied after awhile. Some
omit the lemon, but think it adds
greatly to their appearance and flavor.

dissolved, and soap without bit Of rosin
i'm it, as rosin always hardens the fiber
of wool. Put the slids into the washer
or pounding barrel, and then put in the

and then put into a tub of scalding-hot
water, with little blueing in it, Wiring
from this, and hang at once into the
open air to dry. If the water is album
dant and soft, and the soap of the right
quality, blankets thus washed will not
shrink, and will be as soft and fleecy as
when they came from the store. As the
nap wears off it may be renewed by
using pair of combing cards; these
are very useful also for making the in
side of knit-woOlen socks fieecy and
warm. In buying blankets and making
comforts it is true economy to have both

lOwance for tucking in. The thickest
blanket or comfort will not keep one
warm unleas the sides and bottom are
so closed that cold air cannot get in.

THERE is, says the American Grocer,
no article of food upon which so much
of the comfort of the household depends
as upon bread, and no one upon which
so much has been written. Whenever
the failures of the sex i'm the way of
housekeeping are commented upon by
their lords and masters, bread forms
the convenient and ready proof of their
delinQuencies. If woman does not do
what is supposed to lie within her
legitimate way of business, or does do
what does not come within that range,
the masculine voice, with one accord,
shouts deridingly, or warningly, $50
and learn to make bread" Ii they
make poor verses or paint poor pictures
they are told that they chad better
make good, bread" Ii they have an
ambition to become doctors or lawyers.
or clergymen or editors, the whole pro-
fessionaI world joins in the chorus of
advice and tells them they had better

The Soda Lakes of Wyoming Terri
fory.-PrOfessOr POntez, GeOlOgist to
the Union Pacific Railroad, reports as
follows on an interesting deposit of
carbonate of soda in Wyoming Terri
tory:
by nearest road for wagon, sixty five
miles from Rawlins Station, nearly
due north. There are two lakes. The
upper and larger one covers about 3O0
acres the water has an average depth
of three feet and a specific gravity OF
1907 il therefore contains nearly one
pound of soda to ten of water. The
soda is nearly all carbonate. The
second lake is situated about two miles
east of the large lake, on q somewhat
lower level. 1t is bowl-shaped, and
covers rather more than three and one
half acres. During the greater por-
tion of the year, it is q concrete mass
of crystals of carbonate of soda. mixed
with small quantity of dust blown
from the adjacent plain. excavated
to the depth of six feet, but did not
reach the bottom of the deposit. Its
entire depth can only be ascertained
by boring. 1t is reservoir of pocket
which receives its increase from the
periodic influx from the larger lake.
The water. having no outlet, evapO-
rates during the summer. and by au-
tumn becomes a compact mass.
The quality of the carbonate is fully
equal to the imported article used
throughout the country. Its minimum
or bottom price has been S45 per tun,
up to S67, its present price. Estlma-
ting the quantity by the specific grav-
ity of the water. its depth and area,
the large lake covering 200 acres will
yield on evaporation q, 900 tuns, which,
at the market value, would realize, at
S45 per tun. S4.5lO,0O0. Besides the
cost of freight, the expense of prepar-
ing the article for market would be 81
per tun, for evapOrating.
The small already crystalized, and
estimated only to the depth of six feet
and an area of 155, 900 feet, contains 30
$50 tons. which. at S45 per tun, would
realize S1.379, 200, with no drawback
except freight aud commission.
The re son why this valuable deposit
of staple article has not already been
drawn ON largely is the difficulty and
expense of hauling it s. miles. A range
of mountains called the Seminole in-
tervenes between the deposits and the
Union Pacific Railroad"
