ABOUT THE WORKS.

The arrangement Of the entire plant is
such that nothing is wasted, either in ma
terial or labor, as much Of the latter being
performed by machinery as is possible,
while everything is as complete as money
and the latest improvements and designs
can makeit. The works are now run to their
fullest capacity, and the product Is proba-
bly, larger than that OF any plant VI like
size in the country, while there is u great
deal OF satisfaction in knowing that in an
economic point OF view the expenses are re.
duced to the lowest possible sum, consist
ent with the good results obtained. With
the increase contemplated in the reducing
capacity and the large amount Ut ore both
on the dump and in the mine, the future OF
C'ark's Colusa AS a heavy copper producer
is uncloutled, and under the management OF
Mr.. Brethertnn, the prospects are most
flattering that there will be a long series Of
princely returns to the owner OF the prop
erty.
During the past summer Mr.. Clark with
view to providing for the convenience OF
his men, and having them in close proxiin-
ity to the mine and furnaces, has erected II
very handsome row Of nice dwellings near
the works, which have been provided with
all of the attachments and conveniences
necessary to comfortable homes, and they
are rented to the employees at II very low
rate, being thus a benefit to both the mine
and the miner.

Professor Thomas Taylor has at length
made minute report of his experiments in
testing butter and oleomargarine He has
analysed specimens of both, treated them
with acids, and produced crystals of true
butter, of lard and OF tallow.
These he examined under the microscope.
He subjects them to poarized light Under
this test the lard and tallow invariably show
prismatic colors, while the butter shows none.
This he considers his surest test. Examined
under the microscope, also, the butter crys-
tails he declares invariably show upon the
surface black St Andrews cross, which the
crystals of lard and tallow do not show He
repeats these statements emphatically and
decidedly, giving them as the summing up OF
months careful investigation.
Thus it seems that any chemist who has a
microscope with polariscope attachment will
be able to distinguish butter from oleomar-
garine. This may be considered an important
discovery.

A NEW WHITE HOUSE.
A PRIVATE RESIDENCE TO BE BUILT
FOR THE PRESIDENT.

The Early History of tho First National
Building In America-Designod After
Dublin Palace-Its Attempted De-
struction by British Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Senator Morrills
bill, which has been reported favorably by
the senate, and is likely to pass both houses,
Is designed to furnish the president an appro-
pirate dwelling place. The present White
House has long since been inadequate to tho
demands of a presidents residence. Out Of
the thirty one rooms in the building there is
but one room on the first floor, the family
dining room, and six chambers on the second
floor are all that is left for the use of the
presidents family. The rest are devoted to
the requirements of official receptions, and to
the executive Offices
This is very different state of affairs to
the days Of that good housewife Mrs John
Adams, who used to have lines swinging
from one pile of lumber to another in the
East room, and hang the clothes there to dry
ON wash days

In order to take full advantage of the ben
efts to be derived from the use of the modern
hives, we must commence work in the spring
with the bees, and keep up with them until
such time we have them in the best con-
dition to do the work as we want it done.
Our first aim should be to get as many bees
as possible ready for the harvest when it
comes. Then to have the frames so well filled
with brood that there will be but little space
left in which honey can be stored below
There will always be plenty for the imme-
diate want of the bees, and as the season
slackens brood rearing will gradually cease
and the combs be filled with honey leaving
plenty for winter stores. Just as soon as the
weather will permit, overhaul the hives and
remove part of the brood frames, Just how
many will depend on the style of hive used
and the strength of the colony. We
use ten frames. We usually leave five
frames at the start, but if the colony
be little weak we reduce to four
This calls into Use the division board, without
which no work of this kind can be done In
preparing the brood chamber in this manner
we endeavor to leave frames that contain as
much honey as possible, but at times the
brood already in the combs may interfere
with this arrangement to some extent II
such be the several frames which con-
tain honey should be left in the chamber just
outside the division board and the bees will
carry the honey around into the brood
chamber. Our object in combining the bees
TO the limited number of combs is to force
the queen to fill these frames quite full of
brood before giving more, and so long as she
has room, empty combs, in which to deposit
eggs, they will need no additional combs
even though the bees become n bit crowded

well rotted manure to the acre. This amount
Of manure, thoroughly mixed with the soil,
and liberal top dressing of wood ashes, will
put any ordinary soil in fine condition for
onions. To facilitate early planting, which
Is very important, ! manure and pillow in the
fall, and when the ground is free from frost
and dry on top it Is ready for the harrow.
The soil should be thoroughly pulverized
leaving the manure near the surface. A
good harrow followed by drag will be found
effective tools to pulverize and level the
ground, but the hand rake must be used to
complete the work"
Sow the seed at the ratio of four to six
pounds to the acre, to a less amount of
ground in proportion. Use a seed drill for
planting The Planet, Jr., and Matthews
are approved drills to use. The rows should
be fifteen inches apart. Run roller over the
field after sowing to cover the seed. If you
have no drill mark out the rows and SOW as
evenly as possible by hand Cultivate with
the rake and scufile hoe and keep the weeds
down very carefully, or you will have no
onions
Plant just as soon as you can get the ground
ready after the frost is out of it, Cold
weather will not hurt the onion The weth-
ersfield Red, Yellow Danvers and White
Globe are good varieties.
We have thus far spoken of onions planted
for field crop by drilling in the seed After
the little plants have come up they should
stand one to woinches apart. If closer than
this they should be thinned out The seed
should not be sown later than May under
any circumstances, and as much earlier than
this as it can be got in the better. A profit Of
500 to the acre is made in onions if the
farmer is convenient to market or shipping
Still more money is made from planting
onion sets, from which the crops of small
green onions are raised. These must be
planted by hand, two to three inches apart,
in rows nine inches apart. Leave an alley
way for n walk after every eighth row. The
young green onions are marketed tied up in
clean, tasteful bundles. The crop from the
sets will be off early in time for a fall crop
of something else to be sown in the same
ground. The culture Of the onion sets re-
quires more labor than the seed does rs sown
in the field in the manner mentioned, but it
also pays better.

A very successful onion grower says the
secret of his luck is good seed, good soil and
good culture. Onions are very healthy, too,
especially in winter, for all who can digest
them. 1t is true there is n tradition that u
wealthy passenger on a street car who once
handed "A conductor s. bill for fare, famed
the air away in front of him and hurredy
remarked; Never mind the change; go
along" The conductor had been eating
onions, and ever since then conductors eat
the odorous vegetable daily, so this old chest
nut of n joke says. But for all that, when
one is at home, and can eat what he likes,
nothing is better than onions, raw or cooked
The successful grower mentioned says of
the soil in which he plants the onion:
"The ground should be level.enough to pre-
vent washing, and if not naturally dry it
should be thoroughly underdrained; and
manure, the key that unlocks the hidden
treasures of the soil, must be literally APP
piled or success will not be complete. In
localities where stable manure is plenty, as
it usually is in the vicinity Of small towns,
it will pay to use thirty or even forty tons Of

Mr.. f. Williams, g well-known grape
grower says the objection to this system of
training is that the arms are liable to DO
broken off after they have stretched out to
great length. He suggests that a wire run
along the trellis six inches above the bottom
one will remedy this. Tie the shoots to it.
Pruning should be done in the fall. The
method is this Every year cut away all the
arm made that season except the branch
nearest the main trunk. Bend this around,
tie it to the wire and shorten it back to five
or six buds. 1t in turn becomes the main
arm. In Fig the cross marks upon each
upright branch show where to prune. Cut
the branches away to this.
Planting may be done either in the fall or
spring.

The two sit down and become quiet, asking
the question: Are there any communica-
tionsp After few minutes the little table
begins to move over the board. 1t is an in
telligent, or at least, n semi-ntelligent force
questions. Sometimes it talks utter nonsense
and again it will write real information
The table spells out sentences in this way.
When n question is asked, the table moves
towards the letters, and the foot stops upon
the first one of the sentence to be written out
Then it passes to the next one and the next
and on, with more or less rapidity. A
gentleman, who has experimental with the
thing, says: Sometime the table will cover
two letters with its feet and then you hang
on and ask that the foot be moved from the
wrong letter, which will be done"
One man who thought his family was
spending too much time over the talking ma
chine burned it up. Then he left home on a
journey. When the talking board could not

amusement went on as before To the ques-
ton what had become of the other board the
answer was given, Jack burned it up"
which somewhat astonished Jack on his re-
turn.
The questions may be asked mentally, even
by persons sitting in the room several feet
away from the operators, and the answers
are given just as readily. In some cases re-
markable and truthful revelations are said to
have been given about living persons, But it
is not well to give too much heed to these
revelations

FARM AND GARDEN,


Too much wood is ordinarily left on grape
vine in trimming. For small vineyards and
garden grapes the pruning shown in the
illustrations is very available. The canes
are trained to wire or wooden trelises, and
every part of the vine thus reaches the sun.
1t will be easy to extend the same system by
crosspieces and frame overhead, thus max
ing green and grateful arbor of shelter from
the sun in hot weather
To begin such grape garden, drive a
strong stake in the ground where each plant
is to be set. Strong growing varieties of
grape, like the Concord, should have the
plants set nine feet apart Dip the lower end
of the stakes into coal tar to protect them.
Set one vine having roots about twelve inches
long at each stake. 1t should have three or
four buds. Rub away all these except the
strongest ones.

In 1892 the corner stone of the White
House was laid, and though the neighboring
hills of Maryland and Virginia We're full of
excellent marble they were unaware of it,
and sandstone from Virginia quarry was
used in the walls of the building. This sand
stone was afterwards found to be such poor
building material that it became necessary
to give it each year coat of thick white
paint to keep it from crumbling away. The
house is l70xSG feet in dimensions.
The original White House cost about $3.50,
600, and when John Adams and his family
first occupied it, but six of its rooms were
furnished. In 1914, on the invasion of
the city by the British troops, President
Madison fled from the city To place Of
safety i'll Maryland, but his wife, Dolly Paine
Madison, remained to fulfill an engagement
for a dinner party which she had made, not
believing that the British would reach the
city before the next day. While the guests
were assembled at the banquet servant
rushed in with the startling intelligence that
the enemy was on Capitol hill. Then there
was a scamper. The guests fled in all drec
tions and half an hour later the British
soldiers were in the house. Finding glori-
Gus dinner spread in the east room they re-
called themselves first, then pillaged the house
and set fire to it. The wines which the
soldiers found in abundance at the deserted
feast so fired their brains that they made a
bungling job of the incendiary portion of
their raid and but little damage was done to
the building, 1t was not until 1917 that the
house was restored.
When General jackson was president in
1929 the grand portico was added, with its
Ionic columns, which add such "A grandeur to
the building. Since "Old IIickory's' time no
other important change has been made III the
building, except refurnishing and its annual
coat of paint These expenses, together with
the original cost of the building, foot up to
nearly SSOO,OO0.

The presidents house has been the scene OF
more changes, and business of Importance
to the welfare of greater number of people
has been transacted within its walls during
the past eighty-six years of its existence than
in any building in the world 1t was the first
public building erected in Washington. In
March, 1872, the commissioners having
charge of the new capital city advertised i'll
the New York and Philadelphia papers "for
plan for presidents house TO be erected in
the city of Washington" offering as prize for
the competition the liberal sum of $500 for the
accepted design. The successful one among
the fifteen applicants was James Hoban, a
young Irishman. He pleased the commission
ers so well by his talent that they gave him
| large salary to superintend the construction
of the house. Hoban's PLAN it was after
wards found, was not such an original CON
ception they at first supposed, for he
closely copied the plan of Duke of Leinster's
palace at Dublin, SO that the present White
House is almost a duplicate of that palace.
The above sketch of the "Presidents pal
ace" as it was then called, has been handed
down to us from those days A fitting
compartment to it would he this extract
from description of the city by John Cot
ton Smith, at that time member of congress
from Connecticut. He wrote: Zone wing Of
the Capitol only had been erected, which,
with the presidents house, mile distant
from it, both constructed with white sand
stone, were shining objects in dismal con-
trasts with the scene around them. Instead
of recognizing the avenues and streets por-
trayed on the plan of the city not one was
visible. The Pennsylvania avenue. leading,
as laid down on paper, from the Capitol to
the presidential mansion, was nearly the
whole distance a deep morass covered with
elder bushes, which were cut through to the
presidents house" Here is cont rast with
the Pennsylvania avenue of to-day.
