Filters.

A~oOd filter has come to be necessity
at least in our cities and large towns,
and wherever the drinking water is
drawn from rivers, lakes, poads, etc.
Into these every sort of impurity may
find free entrance from sewers. the
drainage of farms. dead fish ana other
animals, and masses Of decaying yeg-
etables. Boiling the water may Kill
the microscopic parasites (bacteria)
that cause infectious diseases. bat il
does no. free i: from its visible. disgust
Ing matter.
\ good filter accomplishes two things:
it strains out the grosser impurities. and
it also destroys so many eminent
chemists now believe much OF the
inner impurity by oxydizing it-really
burning it up.
This fact, that filters actually destroy
impurity. is among the late discoveries
of science. II was found, when the
don and the other towns on its banks.
that the tilter-beds contained but little
impurity compared with the grea.
quantity OF filth they must have inter-
cepted.
The chemists were ut first puzzled.
but they were ut length satisfied that
the great bulk of it was burnt by the
oxygen OF the AIR, it being known that
a film of air clings tcnaciously tn all
surfaces. and hence to every particle of
sand o. which the filter consisted.
Hen e 4 filter is 4 strainer and q great
Gea! more.
The power OF the fltering material,
charcoal or pure white s and neither
sponge nor any other substance capable
of decay should be used-is lost within
from three 10 six months, and hence il
should b. renewed rs often.
But much Of the impurity is retained
at the top of the strainer. and hence.
unless it is frequently removed. il
works down into the tiltering substance
and all the water must work its way
through a mass of filth.
A filter whose straiIing pot 4 be
turned bottom upwards without taking
it IRON the faucet is the only safe
OF course, when turned the impurities
are nj the bottom, and are washed oil

Putting Stubble Land 10 Use.

L: is getting TO be the prac ice of sor-e
farmers TO sow their stubble fields. after
tie crop is removed, with some strong
growing plant for protecting and other
wise benc!iting the land; and the prac-
tice, where properly carried ont, never
fails ot success. Besides iooScniug up
the ground and Keeping it shaded dur
ing the hot dry weather which usually
follows, and which is hurtful to land
exposed, il is a check upon weeds and
furnishes the soil with humus and plant
food. IL is, in fact, 4 form of green
manuring that doeS not interfere with
regular cropping. Not only is no crop
lost, but the land is improved; il is
richer and more mellow. with less
chance FOR weeds if the seed sown is
clean, the Improvement considerably
scrpassipg the expense Of the outlay;
less manurc needs now 10 be used an6
less work employed on the land.
Where the soil is not too hard the
harrow, weighted, will be sufficient 10
fit the ground for sowing. a rain. pcnc-
trating several inches, will greatly favor
this. Where the ground is too hard for
the harrow, the c%u!tivator will do the
work, which, however, should be lin
ished 3y the harrow. Ii is only where
the land is quite hard or overrun with
weeds that the plow is to be used. The
sooner this work can bAdonc after the
land is cleared of its crop the better, as
il gives a longer time for growth.
Among the plants best adapted for
this purpose are buckwheat and the
pea. both faSt-growin% and rich IN fer.
t:lizing material. They soon occupy
the ground, and il sown after wheat o:
rye, which is harvested earliest. vii
make a full growth that may be turned
down either i'm the fall OF spring. The
sowing of either of these crops has
proved to be of great benefit. both ir
mellowing and enriching the ground
Where a good growth has been made,
NJ other nlanur.ng in general is ncccS-
aary. Peas are best put in where the
land has peen worked by the cultivafor,
the lines made Dy the implement allow
in~ OF deeper covering which this rlani
requires for its best development. Fol
low the sowing with the smoothing
harrow. which covers it well. The re,
verse is the case with buckwhcat, hict
will do e"rmally well, if not b'iter,
when lightly covered.
For crops harvested later in the sea
son. rye is the grain TO be sowr, bn'
on:inueS its growth till winter to the
