ANOTHER FLYING MACHINE.
An Inventor who Intends to Navigate the
Air With u Steel Balloon.


DR.. de BausSct, of Chicago, has been ex-
permentmg in the endeavor to solve the
problem of aerial navigation, and has pub
lished the results Of his labors He has hit
on an entirely novel material for the con-
struction of his balloon, which he renders
buoyant III an exceptional manner. He has
made practical test of his device which he
claims was successful. Previous workers in
this direction have been making balloons of
silk and muslin. De Bausset proposes to use
steel The previous balloons have been filed
with a light gas or heated air In this one
he expects to produce rarefed air through a
partial vacuum.
The plan * to build steel cylinder 270
feet long and - feet in diameter. with a 80
foot cone at each end, the entire length being
45O feet. Beneath this cylinder it is proposed
to suspend n car, which will be about 800
feet long and carry the motor and a large
number of passengers The initiation process
will he dispense with and the cylinder will
he almost a complete vacuum. The inventor
proposes to Use electricity as a motor, and
expects to attain n speed of fifteen to twenty
miles an hour near the earth's surface and
forty-five to sixty miles an hour at an ati-
tude of 5000 feet. 7 accomplish this he
Will use dynamo electric motors, which will
rotate two We screws and displace 800, 900
cubic feet of air minute. The cylinder is
to be built of steel plates "a inches long and

Water Closet on the Farm.

This most important institution on every
farm is either totally neglected TO the dis
comfort, and injurious to the health of the
family, or it is an intolerabla nuisance dis
graceful to civilization 1t is not a very
pleasant subject to be discus ed before our
readers, but there is so much Inconvenience,
suffering. sickness and even deaths caused
by the egl of having such convenience,
that we approach it boldly. The old
fashioned practice of digging vault five or
six feet deep. and building a closet over it,
in way that is almost impossible to clean
out the vault, but which is generally left to
fill up with the weddings and the drainage
and seepings from it saturate the soil for n
long distance, frequently reaching the well,
and rendering the water poisonous, engen-
dering typhoid fevers and other epdemics,
which scientific researches have frequently
traced to these causes.
The best way, probably, on farm. is to
build a water closet as near to the hou.e and
as much ont of sight as possible. hut so the
rear part of it can be reached by team of
horses. Build the closet up high enough
from the ground to admit a box two 10y five
feet, and two feet deep, set on narrow rum
ners, made If two by four scantjng. tnpered
up in front and fixed so that when filled a
horse can be hitched to it and haul it out to
the field or to the compost heap and cmrtied
There should always be kept in III water
closet a barrel or box of road dust with
which to sprinkle the weddings whenever
they are likely to become offensive in SMELL
BY strictly attending TO this precaution the
vault can be kept from being offensive, even
If the vault is Mt the end Of the back porch.
Besides, when mixed with dust the con-
tents of the box will not be disagrecable to
the person hauling it out, nor will it pollute
the atmosphere in the field This plan is not
as expensive as the old-faShoned pit the
cleaning of which is usua ly such disagree
able task that it is never attended to. Be
sides, when the old vault plan is used. it is
generally put so far from the house that
weak or delicate persons frequently avoid
using it greatly to the injury OF their health
and the shortening of their lives.
This is no small matter. but one of the first
importance to the welfare and comfort of
the family, and no good man should neglect
his duty and his pleasure in changing his
present disgusting and disease breeding
nuisance fpran arrangement which is health
full and not offensive. Iowa Register

FARM AND GARDEN.


Flat culture is preferable to killing up for
corn. Harrow manure in well twenty loads

ing the land in the fall is always best Re-
member that next fall, if you forgot it last
The old approved method was to furrow out
each way three and half feet apart, and
drop the kern Is Mt the crossing of the fur
rows But some live farmers now pant the
corn in drills. Have burrows one way three
and one-half feet apart, as before Then
drill the grains in with the horse corn
planter, five or six inches apart in the rows,
one stalk in place
We wish our readers to try both these
methods, the drill and the hill, and see for
themselves which will produce the most

FtRROW MARKER.

This marker is home made, and easily
made. 1t is of wood, and strikes two burrows
at once, three and half feet apart. The
burrows are made by the triangular blocks of
wood two before and two behind The fur
row thus made is six inches deep and ten
wide
Another thing: There is a good deal Of
humbug about the old-iashioned incessant
working and blowing of corn. In the new
method this is not done. After the corn
comes up run harrow through it once or
twice to kill the weeds. When it is three to
four inches high give it n thorough blowing
close to the corn. If it is in hills, pillow both
ways. Later, when it is a foot high, run the
cutivator or horse hoe through it-shallow
so as not to disturb the roots of the stalks
Then leave it. Don't disturb the soil after
this That is all. Nohand hoeing; no sweat
ing through the field after the stalks are
breast high. # large weeds appear they
should be cut out with the hoe.
There are five kinds of coln-fnt, dent,
soft, pop and sweet The standard field
corns are the flint and dent For the north
ern and eastern states the yellow and white
flint cornS are the best. The Jersey yellow
flint is said to lie The most productive of all
1t has produced nearly $50 ears of corn to
the acre. The King Philip and the Canada
are also valuable flints
The dents are favorltc corns in the great
western prairie states. The Queen of the
Prairie and Chester County Mammoth, also
Illinois Yellow are approved varieties OF
dent corn.
We gave last year recipe for treating

four or forty eight hours before planting

SWEET CORN.
The varieties of these are greatly profit
able for market gardeners. The earliest
varieties are the Tom Thumb and the Early
