OUR Band boys came out on the
Fourth in their new uniforms for
the first time, and we can safely say
that every body was agreeably sur
prised to see them look so well. The
suits are of fine blue-black cloth
trimmed in red and gold, and are
especially admired for their neat
ness. The caps are of the same
color with trimming to match.
They are decidedly the richest and
neatest uniforms ever worn in our
city by any band, and we all feel a
little proud of the fact. Lyon &
Healy, of Chicago, are the makers,
and the boys speak of them as first
class men, with whom it is a pleas

When once thy restless years are done"

A Telephone for Farmers,

To make a good and seryiceable
telephone, from one farmhouse to an
other, only requires enough wire and
two cigar boxes. First. select your
boxes and make a hole about half an
inch in diameter in the center of the
bottom Of each, and then place one in
each of the houses you wish to con-
meet; then get five pounds Of common
iron stoyepipe wire, make loop in
one end and put it through the hole in
your cigar box and fasten it with
nail; then draw it tight T. the other
boy. supporting it, when necessary,
with a stout cord. You can easily
run your line into the. house by boring
a hole through the glass. support
your boxes with states nailed across
the window, and your telephone is
complete. The writer has one that is
200 yards long, and cost forty-fve
cents, that will carry music when the
organ is played thirty fe t away in
another room.-Amerjc0n Farmer.

WOnd as a Fnel.

In comparing wood with coal as a
! fuel, it is safe to assume that two and
a quarter pounds Of dry wood are equal
to one pound average quality of soft
coal, and that the fuel value OF the
same weight Of different woods is very
nearly the same That is to say,
pound of hickory is worth no more as
fuel than pound of pine, assuming
both to be dry. If the value be mea-
sured by weight, it is important that
the wood lie thoroughly dry, as each
ten per cent. Of water or moisture will
detract about twelve per cent. from its
value as a fuel. 1t may he interesting
in this connection to give the weight
of one cord Of different woods. which
are thoroughly dry. These weights
are about as follows:
Hickory or hard maple pounds .. 4,5OO
White oak, pounds s....................3 $3.50
Beech, red oak and black oak, pounds $3.50
Poplar, chestnut and elm, pounds 1850
Average of pine, pounds ............-. 1000
The fuel value of these different
kinds of wood, as compared with coal,
is about as follows:
One cord hickory or hard maple equal
to coal, pounds .... ;.......; ;.......- 1000
One cord white oak equal to coal,
pounds s.................... l,715
One cord beech, red oak Or black oak
equal to coal, pounds ............. d.. ], ,450
One cord poplar chestnut or elm equal
to coal pounds. ............... 1850
One cord average of pine equal to coal,
pounds .............. ................. 925
1t is supposed, of course, in both
tables that all the wood had been air
dried, and the comparative yalues of
woods not mentioned in the table may
readily be approxilnated by the reader.

Effect of Cultivation.

The Common potato probably shows
the effect of cultivation as much as
any plant ever introduced into our
fields or gardens. But it is not gener-
ally known that the change from its
normal to what We may term improved
state is quite rapid, requiring only 8
very few years to produce large tubers
of various colors from the wild ones
by careful culture. Where the wild
plants grow abundantly in New Mex
leo and some parts Of Arizona, the
ranch men assure us that when they
pillow up the wild plants in putting in
cultivated crops, the effect upon the
potatoes is quite marked. The tubers
at first are about the size of small
marbles, or half inch or little more
in diameter, but the second season af
ter being disturbed they will become
nearly or quite double the original size
and the next season still larger, if not
killed out in blowing and hoeIng. The
size of the plants also increases, and
and the leaflets, which at first are only
about a haitian inch wide by an inch in
length increases in thu same proper
ton as the tubers. We have ourselves
gathered the tubers from the wild
pants in the undsturbed soils Of th,
valleys of New Mexico as veil as from
the disturbed or rlowed land, and
noted the difference in size rs claimed
by many of the residents Of the count.

More Fowls ard less P ,rk.

1t is just as cheap for the farmer to
liv upon poultry a"d eggs half Of the
time as to live continually upon beef
and pork. 1t costs no more to grow
fowls than hogs. They rustic for
themselves equally as we'll, and serve
as good purpose in picking up the
waste about the farm. They are more
palatable as food, are healthier, and
may be fresh atall times. This being
the case, we hope that the day is near
at hand when every farmers barnyard
will be a poultry yard, and when
chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese,
will no longer be regarded as a luxury,
but become staple of the country
and adorn the tables Of the poor as
the rich. These birds cannot live on
the commons, hide their nests in the
stack yards, and roost in the trees, but
they fare healthy and profitable if
rightly managed. Too many regard
it as an unimportant branch of hus-
bandry, and neglect to give it due
consideration. They say that chick
ems eat their heads off many times in
year, and that it don't pay to bother
with them even when eggs are worth
so cents per dozen and birds so cents
each. The reason of this is, that they
do not manage their poultry, but let
the poultry manage themselves. There
is no branch of farming that would
pay better if run in the proper man
ner than poultry.

farmers' Column.
Cheap Land.

1t is safe to estimate that there is
hardly farm in which tile drain has
not been laid but has at least ten per
cent. of land that is nearly useless.
This waste land, by having tile laid
through it, will become more valuable
than the other parts Of the farm. By
retaining them and laying tile so as
to draw off all the standing water, it
will be the same as procuring an equal
number Of acres for the money that it
will cost to tile it; and not only that,
but it will make the adjoining land
more valuable and susceptible of being
farmed at much less expense per
acre, as where the field is divided by
sloughs and the teams are obliged to
turn oftener, besides being unable to
do as much work as though the entire
field was dry and firm to their feet.
This drainage Of the wet places will
enable the owner to cultivate the field
from q week to ten days earlier than
he would otherwise. This early plant
ing of the crops in many cases means
an added yield of Is to 40 per cent.
The ground occupied by these
sloughs and runaways, being lower
than the rest of the field, has year, af-
ter year, received the wash from the
upland. Thisrich dirt, as soon as it 10
under-drained, will bear larger crops
and more surely than other portions of
the field.
We cannot see the economy in far
mers loaning out their money or lay
ingit up in banks while they have a
single wet or Improbable acre on their
farm. 1t has often been stated that
drainage does not pay as we'll on grass
land as where the fields are devoted to
grain raising, but any careful stock
man will, by his own observation, see
the incorrectness of this assertion.
Land to bear productive craps of good
sweet, nutritious grass must be drain
ed so as to have no stagnant water in
the soil
