Few realize what an enormous
amount of power is stored mp in coal.
and how little we really utilize. Pro-
fessor Rodgers has put it neatly thus:
The dynamic value of one pound OF
good steam coal is equivalent to, the
work of man day, and three tons are
equivalent to twenty years hard work
of three hundred days year. The
usual estimate of four-foot seam is
that it will yield one ton of good coal
for every square yard, or about 5000
tons for each acre. Each square mile
will then contain 3, 200. 900 tons, which,
in their total capacity for the produc
ton of power, are equal to the labor of
over one million able-bodied men for
twenty years. -I0aCa State Register.

The discovery that mosquitoes carry
filaria in their probosces, and infect the
human subject with that much dreaded
worm parasite, has attracted considera-
BILE attention among English micro cop
lists. Particulars of various cases are
given, in which it is proved that those
suffering from filaria had received the
contagiOn from mosquitoes, and the lat
ter have themselves been found infected
with flaria. The latter are very minute
worm-like parasites, which on entering
the human body, breed until they in
crease to countless numbers. They are
also said to have the power of entering

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

The main point to be kept in view.
from first TO last, in making country
roads, is drainage.
Those who object to the odors of
many of the disinfectants used at the
present day will find charcoal unobjec-
tionable on this account, and it is said
to absorb gases in surprising way;
pieces can be laid on plates and put out
of sight in a sick room.-N, y. Post.
Potatoes in Cream: Buy freshly dry
potatoes that can be scraped if they can
be had rs well as the wilted ones that
must be pared. Steam them till done,
about half an hour, then put them in
cream sauce made thin, and sprinkle in
little chopped parsley. Chicago Her
aid.
To maintain fowls in really
healthy state appetite must be kept up,
and it is good management to have the
poultry in such state that they will fly
up to meet the poultry man and scram-
bic for their food Loss of appetite
comes from unwise feeding on over
spiced food.
Mr.. g. II. Hill, Sodus Point, N. Y,
calls attention to queer freak of ma
ture in the shape of an apple, part
greening and part russell, which grew
upon graft of the latter set on stock
of the former. Curious evidences show
ing how various and often reconcile are
the mutual influences of stock and scion,
present themselvesto all close observers.

There are two kinds of parsnips;
the hollow-crown or sugar parsnip is
the best, and will take on rich brown
in the oven when the other kind comes
out only dried and tasteless. Pare the
parsnips, cut in pieces lengthwise and
steam about an hour. Then bake in a
hot oven, with little salt and meat
drippings. Drain by tipping up one end
of the pan.-ChicdgO Herald.
-Currant frtters are made of one
cup and a half of very fine bread crumbs,
one tablespoonful and half of flour, one
cup and halt of sweet milk, one-quar-
ter of a pound of well-washed English
currants (drain the currants thorough
ly), two eggs, two tablespoonful of
sugar, a small lump of butter. Flavor
with cinnamon or nutmeg to suit your
taste; drop in spoonfuls in hot lard and
fry until done. Eat with wine and
sugar.-N. Y. Post.
Glazed Turnips Cut some new
turnips into the shape of orange quarters
or small pears. Parboil them for five
! or ten minutes in sailed water. Drain
them thoroughly, then place them in q
well-buttered sauce pan, sprinkle them
with plenty of powdered loaf sugar, put
the saucepan on the fire, and as soon as
they begin to color moisten them with 9
small quantity of clear stock. add q
pinch of powdered cinnamon, pepper
and salt; let them stew gently until

Asparagus beds can also he prepared
The ground should be dug twelve to four
teen inches in depth, heavily dressed with
rich barnyard manure, the crowns of the
plants set from three to six inches beneath
the surface. The rows should be two feet
apart: and the plants in the rows from
nine to twelve inches apart. In field
planting, where the work is done with
farm implements. the rows should be
at least three feet apart. Some people
think that in raising asparagus there is a
great deal to learn : but going into a gar
den, where it is a regular crop, they will!
soon discover that it is about as easy to do
as most other garden crops. A bed care
fully prepared will last for 4 quarter of

about which there is so little trouble ?
Covering the beds up in November with a
coat of rich manure, and in the beginning
of April rake off the coarsest portion that
remains, and fork the rest in, and the
work is done. Asparagus plants, before
they are put in the ground, should be as

be packed in sand, and if otherwise it is
we'll to cover them with soil until planted.
