An ordinary telegraph wire could con-
vey the whole electric current that might
be generated by the power of Niagara
Falls to any distance. But so high an
electro-mOtiye force would have to be
used that SPARKS would fly from it into

A balloon of colossal dimensions and
said to be capable Of being guided al Will
has been for some time in course Of con-
struction IN Berlin. The balloon is 800
feet IN length and so feet in diameter.
The total weight is about $4,000 pounds,
the envelop and netting alone weighing
10, 900 pounds. The propelling machinery
consists of two steam engines OF 5O-horse
power each, and the entire cost is esti-
mated at $4,000.
hog hair brushes are the best, except
where 1ne lines or tracings are required,
then the small cancels hair brush may be
used. The colOrs most in requisition are
Chinese white, Vandyke brown, chrome
yellow, burnt sienna, raw sienna, sap
green, olive green, Nero blue, crimson
lake, rose madden and purple madden.
The designs to paint well should be closely

Prof. Fischer, of Munich, after an ex-
tended research on the nature and prop
substance may be extracted from coal tar
that exercises on the human system an
action Identical with that OF quinine.
The substance appears as white crysta-
line powder. Administered In cases OF
fever. It has the effect OF rapidly lowering
the temperature, and its efficacy in this
respect is stated TO be so remaI kable as
TO permit the use OF ice to be dispensed
with; in the stomach, the wonderful pow
der assimilates with even greater facility
than does quinine.
j. II. Hale, OF Connecticut, has used
com mercial fertilizers exclusively for the
past six or eigh: years for small fruit
plantations. For phosphorlc acid he used
finely ground bone; also nitrate Of potash
and nitrate OF soda, sulphate OF ammon a
and dried blood. Nothing has paid so
well on the land as nitrate OF soda; 10 VIII
show in twenty-tour hours after being
applied to grass or plants, but care must
be taken not to use more than 100 pounds

Applied just before rain, and three or four
times during the season, Mr.. Hale says
the growth is wonderful.
A small shallow saucer will be required

FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

Concerning geranIums, where plenty OF
winter flowers are desired, the plants
should be grown in pots during the sum-
mer. All flower buds should be nlpped
out as they appear. The rose and most
other kinds Of geraDiums can be brought
along finely for house decoration later by
lifting some from the border and potting
them. Pinch back the main shoots little
at the time.
Prepare wbitewash days before it is
needed. Slack peck OF lime and, while
the wash is hot, add pint of boiled lin
seed oil and quarter of pound of white
glue dissolved. II tinted walls are de-
sired use Diamond" dyes. Dissolve IN
water and add to the prepared white wash.
For cellar walls dissolve cOpperas and
mix with the wash. Dilute the wash with
water to the thickness of cream.
The editor of the Bee Hive advocates
placing hives close to the ground, Offering
as one argument in favor, that ON windy
days or towards night when bees are gath
ering honey and the hive sets on stand,
that many bees. as they come in laden
with pollen and honey, fall to the ground
and, after resting a moment, have to make
an extra effort to gain their hive. NOT
only do many of them lose their load OF
pollen but time also.
w hcT6NeI OAlb ldll during
harvest they will attain growth of u to
10 inches in height and occasionally head
out before checked by frost. The ground
is not titled and the oats lie on the ground
week or more before the rains sprout
them and give footh0ld. When fall iced
is likely to be scarce oats sown on ground
not otherwise occupied will make growth
enough to pay If only to lie on the ground
as covering during the winter.
In no case can so much food be obtained,
and SO cheaply, as by planting an apple
tree and seeding the ground down TO grass.
The tree should be trimmed so as not to
carry a surplus of waste wood, and every
few years a good coat Of manure may be
spread under it, unless the hogs or sheep
are allowed to eat the grass and fruit,
and, il they are. no more manure is re-
quired. The little rOOtlets, if left alone,
Will meet the hogs and sheep very near
the surface and take up all OF their offer
ings and return the same in fruit more
and more every year.
Plenty Of good food and enough OF ex-
ercise to keep the muscles firm is the best
treatment of horses in winter. 1t is quite
common for many farmers to underfeed
in winter, because they nave little or moth
ing for horses to do. But horse thus
managed soon loses his capacity for hard
service. Such horse may be fed so as
to make good show In spring, but it will
be tat, not muscle, and lew days IN plow-
ing or narrowing will bring him down.
Horses worked continually are less liable
to gals from the harness, as the skin is
always firm and hard.

Niulchine Fruit Trees.

small fruit should receive a mulching
when the ground 10 frozen an inch or two
deep. For this purpose there is nothing
better than good straw, free from weed
seed. 1t Is all the better if it has been
used for bedding the horses. If this is
not easily procured give them covering
OF evergreen boughs, with a few forest
leaves thrown on in addition II they can
be taken from some part of the wood
where there is no chance for weed seed to
lodge. This covering prevents them from
too frequent freezing and thawing during
the winter, and most of it may be removed
in the spring If they are wanted to make
an early growth.
