Water Proot BrickS.-Water-prooing
for bricks Is a process which has been
brought forward With various claims of
superior adaptation as compared with or
dinary bricks; and these claims have lately
been subjected TO investigations of prac-
ticaI nature. in order to ascertain what
amount Of water tine bricks would absorb
in their natural condition, two bricks OF
the same kind as those which were treated
with the water-proofing were immersed in
water, and at the end of an hour one brick
had already absorbed nine and seventenths
per cent. of Its weight of water, snd the
other ten per cent: this was all that the
bricks would absorb, as their weight did
not increase after several hours immersion.
To ascertain the effect of freezing on the
saturated bricks, one Of them was exposed
tor few hours, TO a Temperature some
what below the freezing point of water, and
the freezing of the water IN the bricks
burst piece of some three or four square
inches in area, and about one-half sn inch
thlck at its thickest part, out of One face

AGRICULTURE.

CAUTION TO SHEPHERDs.-A not uncOm-
mon errot into which many shepherds are
led, is the effort to economic in the item
OF cured feed during the later fall season:
The present unusuall favorable weather
offers a more than average temptation to
coDfine the flock to past Ire grazing, TO tie
exclusion Of the grain allowance that under
less favorable conditions would be recog-
nized as indispensable. The fact that
sheep will ''get along' on grass, so long
as ii is not covered with snow or all nntri-
ment frozen out of it, should not be mis-
taken as conclusive of the economy of re-
stricting them TO such diet. In those 10
calities where the rigors of winter compel
the owner 10 feed his flock through several
months, experience has taught the more
observant that st no period OF the feeding
season does liberal ration count" for SO
much as during the time when 1t laps over
the full pastursge Of such seasons as the
present. BY such policy immunity is
secured from lnconvenlences, and some
times serious damage, that result by the
sudden change from pasture to barnyard
feeding, that is made necessary by the ad-
vent OF some unexpected Storm. Few
perplexities overtake the shepherd more
annoying than the experiences with flock
suddenly driven from the pasture, while
accustomed to food and habits of winter
| life. The shyer members stand aloOf,
while others gorge TO their detriment, thu:
adding the care for sick animals to 6
round OF labor already replete with annoy
ances. The shepherd first exposed tC
such an experience is to be commlsera
ted. The one who is the second time &
victim, has learned too little from expert
ence TO encourage a hope for success il
any undertaking TO which he may devot,
himself.

that they attribute their safety to the dai

Il curious observation concerning some

DR.. Brandis, director Of the India Forest
Department. These trees were probably
introduced on the Nilgiris several years
before 1915. They were known to flower
in 1s45 in October, the month of their
Australian Towering time; but in 1860
they Powered in September; in 1870, In
August; in 1878. in July; ard in 1882 they
began to flower in June, the spring month

Turn. 1t occurs in regular strata VARYING
from three to four inches, although In some
cases it has been struck twenty inches
thick. Ibe enclosing rocks are choritlc

the asbestos is found chiefly in fibrous mas

flores are long and firm, like q skeIn of
