"SoME people say that land which will
raise good corn will grow good fruit
trees, which is all right; but they
should add that, like corn, they require
regular and continuous manuring."
To which we would add that, like corn,
they require thorough cultivation of
the soil, especially during their younger
years, and many farmers would even
regard a clean, mellow soil instead of a
grass sod in their corn-fields, as more
important than manure.

A Ctr OF COFFKE.-To make cup OF
good coffee, an essential art Is requisite.
Many women who pride themselves,
and justly, upon their skill, fail here.
For early risers and those who require
an early breakfast, there Is a mode of
making coffee so generally practiced as
to be almost universal in this country,
and that Is simply to boil the ground
coffee for q few minutes and than either
settle the grounds with cold water or
give them time to settle gradually. This
mode can be greatly improved by cork
ing the spout with a cork, cloth or
paper, thus preventing the escape of the
steam, which arises from the boiling
coffee. By the escape of the steam we
lose much of the aromatic flavor that
renders coffee so palatable. Let those
who cook coffee after this method try
our plan, and they will find vast i'm
provement. An eminent chemist recon-
mends the following as favorite way
of making this now universal beverage:
Three fourths of the coffee should be
boiled and the remaining fourth infused,
after which the whole should be mixed.
By this means both the strength and
flavor are increased. To preserve the
flavor of ground coffee 1t should be wet
with the syrup Of sugar and then covered
with powdered sugar; in this way the
volatile parts of the coffee are pre-
vented from escaping. As heretofore
said, coffee, after being roasted, should
be kept excluded from the air and kept
in a dry place if not used at once, as it
absorbs from the atmosphere and grad
ually loses its flavor.

In paper an the use of lacs of cosine
and fluoreSceine for preparation of
decorative painting without poison, Mr..
Turpin gives the following recipe: A
potassic or sodic solution of cosine
treated with an acid gives precipitate
of cosic acid insoluble in water; this
washed until the water begins to take a
rose color is insOluble in the hydrate of
oxide of zinc, and so forms very rich
lac, the red color of which varies ac-
cording to the quantity of cosic acid
which had been employed.

Mich Cows.-If these be fed upon
day hay it cannot be expected of them
to give full supplies of milk, for with
out succulent food the udder cannot,
except upon limited scale, carry on its
milk secreting operations. In view of
these facts every farmer should make it
a part of his business TO raise a sufficient
quantity of beets, carrots and parsnips,
to give each milch COW on his farm half
bushel daily during the winter and
early spring.

Mr.. Goss, the eminent geologist, in a
recent paper on the fossil insects of the
secondary period, has shown that these
are rarely met with in British strata,
and that the principal specimens of the
Continent of Europe have been taken
from the Swiss Alps or from the Solen
hofen slate of Bavaria. No new forms
have been met with differing so much
from those of existing insects as to re-
quire a new order for their classifica-
ton, such as had to be done in the case
of the fossils of vertebrate animals, for
example.

In districts of the country where the
cold is neither long nor intense, a sug-
gestion of a Danish journal may be
found useful in obtaining a supply of
ice for Summer use. When the ice is
formed on suitable stream, pond, or
lake, make holes in the ice and insert
portable pumps in them. From time to
time pump up as much water as will
cover the surface of the ice. The thin
strata of water soon freeze, and ice a
foot thick can be harvested, where
otherwise only cakes of about two
inches in thickness could be gathered.

PLowING-IN MANURE.-For root-crops
there is no other way to be successful
than to plow in the manure deep, as all
ammonias evaporate, notwithstanding
that there is a great loss of salt, lime,
potash, etc., by teaching. But for small
grains, grass and clover, experience
has taught the most successful farmers
that coarse manure applied as top
dressing is preferred to be spread on
just before a heavy rain in the spring.
By observing how luxuriantly grass
always grows around the edges of
boards, old logs, stones, etc., we there
fore learn the fact that any soil is con-
tinually improving as long as it is
covered. There is no doubt but what
coarse manure spread on the surface of
grass or grains, does more good on the
principle of mulching than is lost by
evaporation. Grass should be cut early,
and by all means leave the after growth
to rot and mulch the ground.

Glass Printing Type.-A new invention
has been perfected in Paris-that of
printing type. This kind of type is
made of hardened glass, and is as hard
as lead. They last longer than the
metallic; are not liable to be crushed by
the printing cylinders they do not suf-
fer in the least from sudden cooling in
stereotyping, and they do not injure the
health in handling, as lead types do. In
this respect they have a great advan-
tage. The atmosphere In printing
offices is impregnated with particles of
lead, and chronic lead poisoning is one
of the complaints of type-setters. All
this is obviated by the new invention,
which has the merit also of being much
cheaper.

AGRICULTURE.

UNEMPLOYED LABoRKRs.-The only
branch of labor which is not overdone,
and which offers independence and
fairly remunerative reward for toll and
economy is that of the farm. But it is
not attractive. Those out Of work in
the cities and towns don't want to re-
turn to the farm. The most of them
would rather live on charity, and in
miserable squalor than try to make a
living by cultivating the earth. They
are infatuated by the sights and sounds
and designations of city life. There is
farm hands; there are thousands Of
comfortable homes for men and women,
and for families, on the farms of the
west, northwest and southwest. 1t
does not require much capital, but it
requires resolution and willingness to
live soberly and honestly; and men and
women who are now living in cities in
squalid poverty, dependent on public
charity, with families growing up in
pauperism, might find happy and plen-
tiful homes beyond the cities, if they
could free themselves from the fascina-
tions of city life. How to induce this
starving, destitute, surplus labor of the
cities to take the healthful, remunera-
tive employment which is offered them
on the farms, is question worthy of
the profoundest consideration. No re-
vival Of business in our day is likely
ever again to furnish work and wages
to the vast surplus town population now
idle, and to the mvriads on the farms
Of Europe waiting for the signal of re-
viving times to flock to the cities of
America.

SCIENTIFIC.

Steam Po,eer.-According to state
ment in the Polytechnic Rerie,c, the
aggregate steam motive power at present
in use in the world is 3, 500, 900 horse
power employed in stationary engines,
and 10,0O0, 900 horsepower in locomo-
tive engines, making total of 13 500, 900
horsepower. This force Is maintained
without the use of animal food, except
vide the fuel, and the force maintained
in the muscles is to that generated by
the product labor as about one to 900.
This steam-power is equal to the work.
ing force of 25,00o, 900 horses, and one
horse consumes three times as much
food as one man; the steam-pOwer,
therefore, is equivalent to the saving of
food for "a, 600, ,0O0human beings. Again
three power-lOoms, attended by one
man, produce daily seventy-eight pieces
produced by one loom worked by one
in 1900, and so the list might be indefi-
nitely extended of what is accomplished
by the use of steam-power and labor
saving machinery,
Mr.. Herbert Miller, an Englishman, is

shield, which Is thus described: The

containing four loop-holes. Its entire
weight is about 15O pounds. Two front
rank men, laying their hands upon the
axletree, push 1t before them, their
rifles being placed in rack in the shield.
Then two rear rank men follow closely,
rifle in hand, being protected as we'll as
the front rank men from direct fire.
When the Commence firing" is
sounded, the two front rank men take
their rifles from the racks, and, in the
old kneeling position, fire through two
loopholes in the middle of the shield.
The rear rank men fire through the
upper loopholes, the whole two files
being in the position of double rank
firing with "front rank kneeling."
