SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

DIR. Napier has demonstrated that in
the treatment of alcoholism farinaccous
food is of the greatest value, and NJ. Du-
Nbois, of Paris, shows that after alcohol
has been taken into the system, chloro-
form commonly proves fatal.
The llexibiity of itacolumito-a re-
markable sandstone existing in Georgia,
North and South Carolina-sccms TO be
surpassed by that of a magnetism lime
stone found at the entrance of the TYNE,
in England. This limestone is reported
to be so flexible that thin LAYERS, three
feet or more in length. may be bent into
a circle while damp retaining that form
on drying.
Rolled gold is thus manufactured: An
ingOt Of brass is cast, and while it is yet
hot thin layer OF gold alloy is poured
upon it. When the iDgot thus covered
becomes cold it is forced between steel
rollers until a long, thin ribbon is pro.
duced, of which the proportion of gold
and brass is, of course, the same as that
of the ingot. The percentage of gold is
often reduced very low sometimes to
two and three per cent. This rolled
gold in cheap bracelets and watch
chains lasts for ten years.
A new ceramic product, according to
Mons. llignctte, is now made from the
abundant waste sands of French glass
factories. The sand is nodded into
blocks by immense hydraulic pressure,
and is then baked in furnaces at Il high
temperature. The product has remark

very high temperatures; it is very light
and it has a fine, white color. 1t is pre-
dicted that the material will be used for
many architectural effects in combination
with brick or stones of other colors.

While other grains may be better
adapted to growing stock, the popular
belief that corn is best for fattcninr hogs
is correct. And to make the hardest
pork it should be fed dry and water be
given separately.
1t rarely pays to transplant chance
trees that come upwhere roots are broken
off. They generally have few fbcrs on a
long, horizontal root, which when
planted is more likely to have suckers
than tree from the nursery grown to
seed.
On very rich land, with early sowing.
one and half bushels of barley is
enough, as it will spread from the root
and give larger heads than with heavier
seeding. But if barley is sown late, two
and even two and a half bushels NAV be
sown with advantage.
Two main points in a good farm wagon
are lowness, to save lifting, and a cut
under, for convenience in turning. The
latter, however, calls for very low fore
wheels, and the low wheels call for
springs, to modify the suddenness of the
lift over obstacles.
An English pouItryman says that on
the first appearance of gapes make a
quart of oatmeal porridge, stir into it a
tallOw candle and administer it warm to
the chicks. Repeat the remedy about
every two hours. He states that he has
never lost a single chick from gapes since
the above was administered
A great deal of butter is injured in
quality before the milk is brought from
the barn or stable. If poor butter is the
result, the housewife or dairymaid is not
the one to hold responsible. If the COWS
are well bedded, and the mixers uses
due care, there will be much fewer COM
plants OF ill-1ayored butter.
The richest grass grows on the most
fertile soil. 1t is this which makes the
good grazing lands of river bottoms an
nually overlooked. 1t is true that the
grass around clump of fresh manure
will be avoided. but if evenly distributed
and well decomposed, the manure can
hardly be spread too thickly. On old
fields where grass grows thin it is equally
poor in quality.
The straw of rye always brings much
higher prices in the market than any
other, though it is worth no more, even
if as much, as that of wheat or oats for
feed or manure. 1t sells frequently as
high as common hay, being in demand
for horsemen, who have found that. be
ing stiff, it does not absorb horse drop
pings and can be used repeatedly. But
this makes it less valuable for farmers
uses.

There is nothing on earth so mysteri
ously funny as a newspaper advertise
mcnt The prime, first, last, and all the
time, object OF an advertisement is to
draw custom 1t is not, was not, and
never will be designed for any other hui
man purpose. SO the merchant waits
till the busy season comes and his store
is so full of customers he can't Get his
hat off, and then he rushcs to the news
papers and puts in his advertisement.
When the dull season gets along and
there is no trade and he wants to sell
goods so bad he cant pay his rent, he
takes out his advertisement. That is,
some of them do. but occasionally a
leyel-headed merchant puts in bigger
one and scoops all the business, while
his neighbOrs are making mortgages to
pay the gas bill. There are times when
you couldn't stop people from buying
everything in the store if you planted
a cannon behind the door, and that ;
the time the advertisement is
sent out on its holy mission. 1t makes
light work for the advertisement, for Il
chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all
that was needed and have half holiday
six days in IT, week, but who wants TO
favor an .yertiscmcnt They arc built
to do hard work, and should be sent out
in the dull days when a customer has 0
be knocked down with hard facts and
kicked inscnsiblc with bankrupt reduc-
tons and dragged in with irresistible
slaughter of prices before he will spend
a cent. That's the aim and end of an
advertisement, and if you ever open a
store don't try to get them to come
when they are already sticking ont of tho
windows, but give them YOUR advertise
ment right between the eyes in the dull
season, and you will wax rich and own
fast horses, and perhaps be able to smoke
good cigar once or twice 4 year. Write
this down where you will fall over il
every day. The time to draw business
is when you want business, and not wher
you have more business than you can at
tend to already. -BridgcgOrt Post.

is to enclose them in tight bags or boxes

are excellent for small articles, and larger
ones are perfectly preserved in wood or

covered with paper and paste. So pro
tected, they are safe anywhere.

irrigation in some localities where con.
tinued droughts make it necessary to
water fields artifcialy. This always in
wolves great expense, however, and there
are such large areas of land not needing
irrigation that it will not pay, except
where better land cannot be brought in
active competition or on special crops
that yield very large profits from small
acreage.
Quite often the easiest way to dispose
of a few large stone is to dig deep hole,
throw them in and cover deeply enough
so that the pillow will never reach them.
An underdrain should, if possible, lead
into and form this depression, which
will become the richest and earliest spot
on the farm. The stone should be COW
cred with at least two feet of earth for
if frost gets under the stone it will in
evitably bring them to the surface.
The best man to work on farm is
not he who will occasionally take squirt
and do an extraordinary days labor.
Most of those who boast their ability in
this line are worth very little for the
season. A steady man, always faithful
end careful of the interests of his en-
ploycr, is sure to be in demand. If, in
addition, he is skillful in the use of tools
and handy at repairing them if out of
order he will be invaluable. Such help
is hard to kind.
Mari is carbonate of lime, as the com
mon lime is. Heat drives out the car
bonic acid and leaves the lime pure cal
cum oxide or qui2klimc, and this effect
is produced equally with mari or lime
stone. Mari can be burned in kilrs or
pits built up with logs and wood in the
same way that limestone is burned. The
burning is all that is required to produce
the lime. Mari being less solid, requires
less burning than stone. Two or three
days burning is sufficient to make the
lime
A farmer owns to the center of the
highway, and only releases for public
uses what is necessary for convcnien in
travelling Outside the road bed the land
is his for any uses that will not conflict
with the claim the public have on it. If
in grass, as it mostly should be, it may
be mown and the hay taken to its
owners barn or used for soling. Some
times the roadside becomes so infested
with weeds that plo wing and cultivating
with hood crops a year or two will be
necessary before reseeding. In many
sections low places along the roadside
may be plowed up and scraped into the
fields.
Cotton-seed meal is a highly nitro
genous food and should only be fed with
coarscr feed to prevent injury. But a
small ration can be given to cows daily,
as it makes very rich milk, and in
winter helps to give color to the butter.
Bran is excellent to feed with cotton
seed meal. 1t is not safe to give the
meal to calves or other young stock, as
some have been killed by injudicious
feeding. only that which has been well
cleaned from the husk should be used,
as the husk is especially indigestible and
injurious. Some dairymen who market
choice butter will not feed their cows
with cotton seed meal.

Reason for Queer Regulation.

One Of the puzzling articles of war is
that one which forbids court martial
to sit after o'clock T.. NJ. The reason
for this queer regulation is quite as queer
as the regulation itself. In letter read
in the House of Representatives, Ma or
Asa Bird Gardner, udge-advocate, says:
This Limitation has gone into our
statutes from the British articles of war
in force in 1913, which our Continental
Congress adopted for our army. 1t took
its rise in the mutiny act. enacted by
Parliament in 1859, in which, by section
10, such proceedings of trials could only
be held between the hours of in the
morning and l in the afternoon. The rea-
son of this was because / o'clock
=. NJ was the fashionable din
ing hour, and no English officer
or private gentleman was expected to be
sober after that hour. Later, the fash
ionab!e dining hour became 3 o'clock
during the reign of the earlier George,
and the time for sessions of the court
was extended to that hour. The Amcrl-
can revolution came on when that was
the hour, and our Congresses, down to
and including the revised statutes of
1874, have continued to re-enact this
curious, obsolete law, wholly unaware of
the implication it contains, while in the
British service it has been abrogated.
The effect of this is apparent in the trial
of Judge Advocate General d. G. Swain.
Yesterday the court had to suspend its
deliberations at 3 2. NJ because CON
tinuance a moment later would have rem
dered the proceedings illegal and void,
You can well understand the hindrance
to business this occasions, and | could
give you many remarkable illustrations. >"

Outdoor Life,

Man seems planned for an outdoor lie
in mild climate, with lust leaf or two
of shelter for a rainy day. His nature
will bend for time to the conventional
burdens of an artificial civilization, but
replant him on first principles in the
outdoor garden Of life and his rccupera-
tive forces will rebound with the elastic
energy of stce springs relieved. Our
fashionable friends would lose caste were
1hey to use their neighhor's second hand
clothing, but they will daily try to purify
their own blood with their ncighbor' 5
second hand ten times used breath,
poisoned as it always is, even when eX-
hailed by young and healthy persons.
Man, in common with other warm-blooded
creatures, generates surplus of heat
Withia his body. Outdoor sleepers find
that no matter how cold the surround
ing air may be, if dry, enough Of the
outflowing heat may be damned back
and retained by suitable clothing to sus-
tain the vital functions in health and
comfort. Until domestic art can supply
our lungs with cool, first mOrtgaged air,
in warm rooms. its votarics will have an
important problem to solve. In the mean
time outcampers and hovcl jewellers will
wear the best aerated blood in the land.
