SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

Anne Girard, French chemist, finds
that the husks or bran of wheat is largely
composed of woody or neutrality-suspicious.
matter, and is therefore not available for
food. He thus claims to have exploded
an old theory.
In the Province of Viatka, Russia,
there are produced annually 70, 900, 600
pounds of tar, 5,400, 900 pounds of pitch,
and 2,160, 900 pounds of turpentine oil.
It is stated that the annual product OF
birch oil amounts to 144, 900, 900 pounds,
1900, 900 pools, an indication that the
demand for it Is now great.
AS to the depths reached in sounding
the ocean, Lieut.. Bergman obtained bot
tom at 1850 fathoms short distance
south of the Banks of New Foundland.
The depth of the sea is commonly exag-
gerated. People used to think that ii
ranged from 1000 to 5000 fathoms. The
average depth is $500 fathoms in both
the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Experiments are now being made,
both in this country and in England,
with the view of determining the relative
values of oil, gas, and electricity as illu,
minants in light houses. The London
Standard says that the experiments in
England have already shown that "by
means of concentric lenses light nearly
aO powerful as the electric light can be
obtained without the same risk of failure
and at comparatively small cost"
The latest theory of malaria is that the
principal source OF the fever and exhau j.
ton is to be sought in the slowly, but
cumulatively poisonous influence of the
relatively large amount of carbonic acid
in the atmosphere of malarious districts,
generated by vegetable decay, by evapor-
alton of soil moisture laden wi h it, or
by upturning of earth saturated with that
compound. Recent measurements of the
carbonic acid in the soil, as compared
with the amount present in normal at
mosphere, have shown that their relative
proportions are as $50 to one,

Spread Direct from Stable.

DR.. H. p. Armsby, Of the Wisconsin
Experiment station, tavors hauling and
spreading manure at once, rather than
heap it at barn or in field, with the single
exception of hillsides, where, to avoid
washing of plant-food to lowlands or into
streams, it is best put on as short time
as practicable before blowing under So
far as the other objections cammonly
urged against the practice apply to level
surface he says:
"The loss of manure by teaching
through the soil will be very small, usu-
ally because all respectfully good soils
have the power of taking up the valua
BILE matters out of their solution in water
and retaining them, ready to feed crops.
Only on the lightest lands is there reason
to fear any great loss in this way. The
only valuable part of the manure which
can be converted into gas is its nitrogen,
which may escape as ammonia. The ex-
tent of this loss has usually been over
rated. Stable manure contains but a
small proportion of nitrogen, and still
smaller proportion of this is capable of
beng quickly converted into ammonia
and given off as gas. Moreover, the or
ganic matter of stable manure, its humus,
has a considerable power of retaining
ammonia when it is formed, and, finally,
the conditions in the field are not
favorable to the formation and escape of
ammonia. The manure is too scattered
to get up the heat necessary to vigor-
Gus chemical action, and its nitrogen is
more likely to be changed to nitrates and
dissolved out by the rain. Even if am
monia is formed, however, it will not
escape into the air unless the manure be-
comes pretty thoroughly dried out"
In view of these facts-that the chance
is so small of sacrificing fertilizing ele-
ments on level surface of good soil by
prompt spreading-the doctor concludes
that no man need hesitate to adopt this
system if convinced that it is an
advantage to him in other ways. Some
of the best farmers we have known,
among them the late George Geddes,
favored such speedy disposal of stable
accumulations, partly because the heavy
labor could be done piecemeal, during
the comparative leisure of winter, and
thus avoid tedious spring job when
other work was pressing, and at the same
time save at least one extra handling OF
the manure.-NeaO York Tribune.

Annual Flowers,

AS a general rule, potting plants for
garden display are unsatisfactory unless
managed by one who is skilled in gar
dening and who has an abundance of
time to devote TO their culture. Some
of the common and long-tried ANIMALS
give more satisfaction for the amount of
labor invested than other plants. A lady
thus describes her bed of ANIMALS ::
There are verbenas, pink, white, blue
and royal purple; phloxes of every shade
from dazzling scarlet down to white
portulacas, little salamanders, of brilliant
hues, as double as little roses; pinks in
white and cardinal dresses; petunias run
up the trellis work in the centre, and, as
the bed is round one, nod knowingly
in all directions, The panses, dear
little faces, are next my window, and are
all named for friends to whom | talk
when l am lonely. This little bed of
ANIMALS is less trouble and source of
more pleasure to me than all my aristo-
cratic dollhouse plants put together.
They require no petting or coaxing. l
have only to dig up the earth in the
spring, so as to have it soft and loose, fill
it up and enrich it, then SOW the seed

Reans for stock Fcedinp.

American writer's who have copied
most of their ideas from English books
and journals or from German experiment
stations have had much to say about the
value of beans for feeding horses and
cattle, quite ignoring the fact that the
English and European bean is not grown
in this country, and probably never will
be, on account of our too warm climate,
which causes mildew and so weakens the
plant that it becomes the prey of plant
lice which completely destroy it. 1t is
this bean which has been analysed by
chemists and mentioned in books as CON
tanning so large quantity of nutritive
matter, especially of q heterogeneous char
acter, which is most suitable for grow
ing and working animals which require
large supply of fesh-forming food
This matter in beans is called legu-
mine, and is almost precisely the same in
character as caseine of milk, and is there
fore an exceedingly valuable article of
food for stock of all kinds. But we
have not this bean at all in this country,
and therefore all talk about it's excellent
feeding qualities is vain and of no value
or force at all. We have bean, indeed
several kinds of them, which differ only
in very slight degree as regards their
nutritive elements from the English bean,
but unfortunately, excepting one or two
kinds, cattle and horses refuse to eat
them on account of their flavor. The
kinds that are acceptable to them are
those varieties known as COW peas, so
called because they are round, but other.

Setting Milk.

In prize essay in the Rural Ne,O
Yorker, Professor J. n. Muncey gives the
following results Of experiment; /. Milk
set at ninety degrees in water at forty de-
grees for twenty-four hours, will yield
more cream and butter than milk set at
eighty degrees in water at sixty degrees
for the same time. 2. Milk set at ninety
degrees in water at fifty degrees for
twenty-four hours, will yield more cream
and butter than the same milk cooled TO
fifty degrees before setting. 3. Milk set
at ninety degrees in vessel four inches
deep, in room at sixty to sixty-fve de-
grees for twenty-four hours, will raise
more cream and make poorer butter than
milk set by the first two propositions.
Practically, then, the most cream is OBJ
tanned from the milk when it is set as it
comes from the cow-at about ninety
degrees and gradually cooled to, say
fifty degrees, before Modification. Milk
in the creamery or elsewhere should be
cooled so rapidly that acidifcation does
not begin until the cream has risen.

The Great G.'s.

A few years ago it used to be said in
France that the world was governed by
the "G.'s." Mr.. Grevy was president Of
France, and M. Gambetta was its chief
statesman.
Germany was ruled by the Emperor
William, whose name is Guillaume to
a Frenchman. Great Britain was gov
crned by Gladstone, Gortschakoff was
the chancellor of Russia, Garfield was
the president of the United States.
Since then Gambetta, Garfield and
Gortschakof have died, but M. de Giers
has taken the place of the latter; so that
with Gladstone, Grevy, Giers and Gull
laume this favored letter G. still has it:
share of prominence among the rulers Of
the world.

FEad FseguIar Habits

A New York merchant called at the

applied to me for a position. Was he
not in your employment at one time3"

The Gold in the United States Mint.

in length, three in width and one and a
half in thickness, each worth So, 900. 1t
began to accumulate about five years ago,
when our foreign trade increased in a
wonderful manner. A large amount Of
English and French gold was paid into
the country and was sent to the New
York assay office, where it was melted
down into bars. 1t is 1000 fine, which
is our technicality for pure or twenty
four carat gold. The American gold
coinage is 900 fine, while English is 925
fine, so that we are glad to get that coin
age to melt down. You must not sup
pose that this large amount of gold Is
always in the mint. The amount fuctu-
ates. Next week we may have great
deal more, or it may nearly all be gone

Household Hints.

Never put hot iron directly upon
silk-it takes the life out of it.
Pickles or vinegar will not keep in a
jar that has ever had any kind of grease
in it.
Cream cures sunburn on some COM
plexions, lemon juice is best on others
and cold water suits still others.
To scour knives easily, mix small
quantity of baking soda with brick dust,
and see if your knives do not polish bet
ter.
Paint spots may be removed from any
kind of clothing by saturating with
equal parts of turpentine and spirits of
ammonia.
Salt will curdle new milk; hence, in
preparing milk porridge, gravies, etc,
the salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared.

Dr. David Kennedy, for the past ten years
an active practitioner Of Medicine and Sur
gerry in Rondout, N Y, was one of the resi-
dent Surgeons of the above-named Hospital
during the war. No doubt many of his for
mer soldier patients are still living and will
be glad to recognize the name of the friend

hundreds of the most dangerous and difficult
operations, and it's simple fact that moi
one died, but all made splendid recoveries. 4
DR.. Kennedy is frank to confess no,U that
his wonderful success was due to the fact
that he gave his patients the medicine he nov
calls Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" il
the after treatment. Itwas this that restored
the Kidneys, Liner, and BotCets to healthy
condition, affording tone and strength to the
