Carbon for Electric Arc Lights.


Cartoons for arc lights may be made,
says a well informed writer, by thor
oughly incorporating q mixture of finely
divided carbonaceous material, such as
the purer forms of coke or gas retort car
bon, with some liquid substance, such as
oil, tar, or sugar sirup that. when sub
iected to high temperature. is capable
of being carbonized. The finely divided
ingredients are thoroughly mixed and
made into stiff paste with the carbon
liable liquid and then forced by heavy
hydraulic pressure through circular aper-
lures in plates. The continuous cylin-
drical rods thus obtained are cut into suit
able lengths, carefully dried, and then
heated to incandescence in. ovens while
out of contact with air
In order to insure freedom from slight
porosity, in most cases the carbons are
subjected to q rebaking. After removal
from the oven they are soaked in strong
strip, and again placed in the oven and
heated to incandescence as before.

Strawberries in Barrels.


Mrs s. c. Sanford is engaged in straw
berry culture on her place two miles
south of Livermore, on quite an extensive
scale when the method is taken into con
sideration She has bored holes in the
sides of boxes, barrels, casks, hogsheads
and other available vessels. and filling the
same with fine rich earth, has set out
strawberry plants, the leaves and crowns
projecting through the perforatiOus. In
the center of each barrel or box is very
leaky bucket which is filled with fer
tilizer, and into which is poured the wa.
ter for the plants. They are thus easily
irrigated and fortified at the same time.
She has 900 plants thus placed-the
largest scale upon which we have ever
known this plan of raising strawberries to
be tried. 1t has proven successful with
