Wonderful Gas Wells.

East Liverpool is beautifully situated,
about fifty miles above Wheeling, on the
banks of the Ohio. in the southwestern
part Of Columbiana County, 100 miles
from Cleveland and forty miles from
Pittsburgh.
It's natural gas wells form one of the
seven wonders of the world. They are
situated in and around the city, and give
it continual supply of the finest light
The gas is almost as free as the air. 1t
costs practically nothing, and forms the
ilIuminator and heater Of the town. The
city is lighted by it and the street lamps
blaze away at monday as we'll az at mid
night. 1t costs nothing TO let them burn
and it takes trouble to put them out.
Almost the entire fuel used in this
town is this gas. It is conducted into
the CRATES and stoves in pipes, and by it
all the cooking and heating is DONE 1t
does the business, makes no dirt, is easy
to kindle and costs very little. Why, for
instance, the Dobbin House. where / am
nov writing, is three story brick, CON
tanning in the neighborhood of fifty rooms
and basement. Its light and fuel for
the whole house is composed of gas and
costs only SD per month the year round
and its light is not the Pickering mockeIy
of poorly manufactured gas, but flame
which approximates in its brilliancy that
of the electric light.
But the question is, How long will this
last? Will these wells continue to send
forth their streams of light giving power
throughout the centuries, or will they die
away in short time2 This, of course,
no one can tell. The prospects are. how
ever, very good for the future. The first
| we'll discovered now burns as brightly as
| when it was first opened. and for the last
twenty years has never tagged in its bril-
llancy, and none OF those now in opera.
ton have never shown any signs Of Civ.
ing out. For years Liverpool used manu-
| featured gass, never dreaming of the rich
supply that was wasting away daily under
Its very feet. The poor quality of rhi!
caused Col. FL. r. Hill, in 1859, to ex
pertinent with and open his first gass
well in this vicinity. A well was dug
beng some 450 feet deep, and pip,
laid. That well has been furnishing fue
and light to several houses, producing tn,
steam for large engine and burnin,
pottery kilns every day for over twent,
years.
The great beauty of the gas-pipe is tn
entire absence of smoke and dirt, and
when in an open crate, playing through
burning iron log, made In the imitation
of wood, or ever Jumps of coke orred-ho
| friedrich, it has all cheerfulness of q
open coal fire or an old-fashioned coun
try place, with none of its dirtiness.-

TIE FARM AND HOUSE,


L
The Cultivation of Sorghum.
Rural New Yorker
The continued high price of sugar
coupled with tue fact that the United
States import $4,000, 900 worth annual
~, gives Importance to any effort which
may, in part of whole, tend to supply
this deficiency. One of the means of in
creasing the supply of syrup, if not of
sugar, Is the cultivation of the sorghum
plant, sorghum sacchartum, now extern
siveiy introduced all through the central
Western States. Two species of this cane
have been introduced, the true sorghum
from China, and another from Africa,
called imphee; but this is of less value
| for cultivation.
Sorghum was first introduced into
Frace in 1881 and into the United States
in 1858, since which time its use has
been extended quite rapidly; machinery
for grinding it has been provided, and
process of cultivation and evaporation
has become well understood. Sorghum
grows on any ground suitable for corn,
but well repays high fertility. The plant
resembles Indian corn before its seed
clusters come out, and grows to height
of from eight to eighteen feet. The cul-
tiyation is the same as for corn the stalks
are cut just before frost, the leaves
stripped off for fodder, and the stalks
pressed.
Well ripened stalks yield half their
weight In juice, and from five to ten gaI-
ions of juice are required for one gallon
of syrup. The yield of syrup averages
from $50 to 175 gallons per acre, though
in exceptional cases, the yield is much
larger. The product Is chiefly in the
syr"p or q glucose used as substitute
for sugar in candies, wines, and for SINH
lar purposes. The product varies much
with the cultivation and care in manu-
| facture. The syrup carefully made from
ripe stalks has clear, bright, amber col
or, and is preferable to common molss-
lasses. The total amount Of sorghum
molasses produced in the United States
in 1860. was 6,749,123 gallons, and in
1870, 1,050,089, since which. time the
product has probably further increased in
| the same proportion.
Some growers recommend cutting off
two or three feet of the top before the
seeds are fully ripe, which gives fuller
ripeness to the stalk, and the part cut off
makes better fodder. This fodder is of
about three fourths the value of the same
weight of hay. The cane may be crushed
! between horizontal rollers as with sugar
cane, but where only small fields are
raised, an upright mill, run by horse
power, is usually employed. The total
cost of an outfit should not exceed $500.

A problem Long since solved.

How to remedy those prolific causes of dis.
ease, an Impoverished circulation and an i'm.
parted digestion, was a problem the solution
of which had often baffied medical skill, but
which was solved over quarter of a century
ach Bitters to public and professional notice.
Since that time, which may well be said to
have initiated new epoch in the history OF
medicine, the remedy and preventive referred
to has obtained a foothold in the confidence
of the American people that each succeeding
year has only served TO strengthen. 1t is rec.
ognized throughout the Union as tonic o!
