The amount of capital invested in pot

and the value of last years product was
about the same. Between 81, 900, 900
and s5,Ooo,0oo are paid in wages, and
the wages here are about 100 per cent
higher than those paid abroad. At the
same time with the improvement in quail
ity of our homemade crockery ware,
there has been great reduction, amount
ing to nearly fifty per cent, in the price
of it. Everything in the pottery line
that is used in this country is now made
here, from plain "stone china" and drain

imports of both the coarser grades of pot

From English mortality statistics cx-
tending over a considerable period, DR..
William Ogel finds that the death rate
among clergymen is lower than that in
other occupations. If the mortality for
the three years 1sSOs2 among ministers
be represented $50, that among farmers
will be denoted by 631, among lawyers
by s41, and physicians by 1922. The
high mortality rate among the doctors is
source of alarm to an eminent medical
authority, and is regarded as demanding
the most thorough investigation.

room while his father had been reading
Bacon aloud to his wife, put his own
construction upon several of the pas
sages. He dwelt particularly upon the
phrase: Reading maketh full man, ~
and pondered over it the balance of the
day.
During the ensuing evening one of
the prominent men of the place dropped
in to make short visit. During the
conversation which followed Johnny
asked him:
You must do a great deal of read

"Well, yes, my little man, consider
able. Why?"

johnny explain the allusion, and the

FARM ECONOMY.
a Subject which Every Agriculturist
Should study Carefully.

4 Subject Which Every Agriculturist
SHOULD study Carefully.
The cost of production of farm crops
is one of the features of farming whose
Importance needs no additional empha-
sizing. II has been long recognized as
one of the chief factors in the great
problem of making money off the
farm, and while by no means thoroughly
disposed of, it is no longer necessary to
preach its Importance, even to the
novice in farming, for he and all others
are seeking to solve the problem it
presents. There is another important
consideration in connection with the
great subject of farm economy, which
has not, however, received so much al
IGNITION, but which is nevertheless
hardly secondary to it in Importance as
factor in the question of money
making in farming. We refer TO the
kind and diversity of crops produced
There is altogether too great DISPOSE
ton among the great body of our farm
ers to go on pretty much as they
and their neighbors have been
doing, in spite of the manifestly greater
profits that would follow change in
methods. The people of Iowa and
Southern Minnesota are credited with
being fairly wide-awake, and yet ali
know how long it took to induce the
farmers in these sections to divert their
attention from Improbable grain grow
ing to the more profitable field of dai-
rying and stock-raising. This is gen
orally applicable all over the country
to individuals, as it has been and is, in
a particular manner to certain sections.
Many farmer may appear to have
mastered the conundrum of good
management on his own farm, have re-
duced the cost of production and the
extravaganza of waste to minimum,
may know how to get the most work
out of his men, and, what is far more
important, to earn at the same time
their goodwill, so that their work may
be performed with cheerfulness and
thoughtful care, and yet lack one i'm
portant element of profitable farming
namely, growing the crops that will
pay the best; and his deficiency in this
respect will almost always be found to
be due to one cause-namely, the want
of intelligence on what is going on
outside of his own little world; and so
he may find that the lack of travel,
due to economical consideration, has,
after all. proved to be false economy

ARTIFICIAL ICE.
The Most Efficient Apparatus for Its
Manufacture.

The Most Emcient Apparatus for Ite
Manufacture.
A strong galvanized wrought-iron
boiler, capable of sustaining pressure
of eight or ten atmospheres, is con-
nected by a tube with freezer, also
made of galvanized iron and of CORE
spending strength, consisting of two
compartments, an outer annular one,
connected with the boiler, and an inner
one for receiving the vessel which con-
tains the water or liquid to be frozen.
The connection between the boiler and
freezer may be controlled either by
stop-cocks or by self-acting valves. A
saturated solution of ammonia is intro
duced into the boiler, and the freezer is
placed in a cold bath. Heat sufficient
to produce pressure of five or six at
mospheres is applied to the boiler,
which expels the gas from the water in
which it is dissolved, and forces it into
the annular compartments of the freezer,
where it is condensed by its own pres
sure, aided by the cool bath, along with
about one-tenth its weight of water
When sufficient ammonia has been con-
densed, whichis shown by the pressure
indicated by gauge, or approximately
by thermometer, the boiler itself is
placed in cold bath; the cylinder con-
tanning the water to be frozen is placed
in the inner compartment of the freezer,
and to insure contact the interstice is
filled with alcohol. AS the boiler cools
the pressure which had been produced
by heat is gradually removed, and the
liquid ammonia in the freezer becomes
vaporized, producing an intense degree
of cold. In a little more than an hour
a block of ice may be frozen. An ap
paratus in use is said to be capable OF
producing eight hundred pounds of ice
