WARM WATER FoR STOCK.

just at the commencement of last
winter there came into use a contriv-
ance by which water can be cheaply
warmed for stock. 1t is understood
that there is not patent on it, and
that it is so cheap of construction and
requires so little fuel to run it that it
should be in more general use. 1t is
known that the average amount of
water drank daily by cow OF. steer is
about sixty pounds. To raise the tenn
perature of this amount of water in
the animal from 80 degrees to so or 80
would require a large amount of food
to contain carbon enough for that pur-
pose. We have not at hand the results
of careful experiments to determine
just what amount of corn it would take
to produce the result named But the
saving must be considerable, especial
" to the mich COW, as she is very sus-
ceptible TO the influence of cold, out
ward or inward. With the machine
named, which has been so highly re-
commended by Mr.. Sherman and Mr..
Gabrielson, of this state, there can be
no doubt about the economy of every
stock-raiser providing in time for a
thorough trial of it this winter. 1t
costs so little; if it should prove a fail
ure, no man will be seriously crippled;
but if it should prove as good as re-
commended it will be not only large
saving of food, but very large in
crease in milk, flesh, and fat.
We are not advised to just what tenn
perature it is recommended to raise
the water, but it is presumed that it
should be nearly the temperature of
the blood, for whatever it is below
this, it will have to be raised to that
degree by feed. So while warming is
being done, it might as well be brought
near the temperature nature requires,
from % to 100 1t is stated that there
is no difficulty in getting cattle to
drink warm water. They soon learn
to love it and refuse to drink cold wat
er. Those who have tried the expert
ment, especially with the cheap ma
chine we have named. unanimously
approve and recommend it. And this
is in the right direction. 1t gives good
pay for more work. And as we have
repeatedly stated lately. the time of
more intensive farming has arrived,
and this is one of the avenues to sue
cess. Warm the water, and make it a
regular and positive practice es

DUNG VERSUS ARTIFIcIALs.

1t appears from the Woburn expert
ments of the ten years, 1877 to 1886,
that there is much less loss in grow
ing wheat without manure than with
dung. People who know least about
artificial manures condemn them.
Many say that nitrate of soda is the
great criminal charged with scourg-
ing. wearing out the land, and doing
all the evil possible in every respect
to the land. Can an authentic account
be really obtained of any farm that has
been really injured by the judicious
use of artiicials? II land becomes
poor and full of couch, and is dressed
with nitrate of soda or such like to
make struggling corn crop grow,
what. then, if the couch grows faster
than the corn and such a system is
continued? Is the manure to be blam-
ed for making the pest grow? If the
farmer fails because the couch sue
ceeds too freely, is it right that the
manure should have all the blame?
What farmer, who knows anything
much about artificials, would use nj
trate of soda or ammonia salts, year
after year, alone, without phosphates?
No one could continue to do so with
out loss. This ought to be the great
est reason for having little fear of the
land, as by an exhausting process the
farmer would injure himself. Neither
could anyone, if he wished to take
farm for a short period to exhaust it
of latent condition, be able to do so,
without loss, through moving stock,
implements, and all his belongings to

THE GRANARY.

Every farmer understands the i'm
portance of having rat and mouse
proof granaries, as few have not at
times suffered severely from the de-
precautions of those destructive pests.
We have (but years ago) on one or
two occasions alluded to this matter
and given directions for constructing
granarieS that would resist all at
tempts at entrance. The following
from an old correspondent would
Seem to be all that is necessary in con-
structing rat-proof granaries:
The lumber for the floor below and
above as well as for the sides must be
of hemlock, one and one-quarter in
ches thick, seasoned, planed, and
matched; the iOists for the lower floor,
? by 10, of any durable wood; the stud
ding of the sides hemlock. Lay the
floor perfectly level Take four pieces
of 2 by scantling, the length of each
side of the room, and dress; make a
groove near the upper side near the
outer edge to receive the tongue of the
first board of the ceiling, the ceiling
to be put up tongue down and nailed
through both edges just beneath the
tongue and grooves. Miter the ends
of these scantling and nail firmly to
the floor. Erect at each corner two
pieces of like scantling, the sides of
which have been squared. perpendicu-
lar to the scantling on the floor; carry
up to the top of the joists above, on
which lay the upper floor. Never cell
below these joists. Make the door to

rats and mice to do their best and their
worst. Ventilation may be given
through the door at the top and bot
tom, protected with strong wire
screen" If, however, any of our prac-
teal farmers have any other method
known to be complete protection
against rats we should be glad to hear
from them. Hemlock, owing to its
resinous nature, offers an impenetra-
bic barrier to these desperate rodents,
who gnaw through leaden water
pipe. Indeed. SO far as our experience
extends, it is so. Some years ago we
built what we called refrigerator in
the bottom of the cellar, six by six feet
in length and breath, and three in
depth. 1t was lined with hemlock,
except the bottom, which was solid
ground, and covered with a hemlock
door. In this our meats, butter, ETC.,
were kept as they were never kept be-
fore, but the rats got into it-not, how
ever, through the hemlock lining or
covering, but by digging down the
three feet outside to the bottom of the
lining, and passing under it. They
were then effectually headed off by
flooring the bottom with hemlock.

RACE CONFLICT IN OHIO.

The towns OF New Richmond and Fell
city, in CIermont county, o have brought
themselves into unenviable notority by
refusing colored children admission to
the white schools. When the law was
passed abolishing the separate schools
for the blacks, the white people of the
two towns openly rebelled, and they
have held the fort TO this day, although
the colored people are not giving in
without q struggle. When the schools
opened in September, so colored children
la Felicity, acting upon the advice of
their parents, went TO the public school
for white children and demanded ad-
mission as pupils. crowd of men and
women barred their progress and sent
them home, boxing the ears of many of
the more clamorous. This experiment
was repeated on the two following Mon
days with practically the same result,
and the colored people copciuded that
they had had enough. They decided
q
dozen white citizens have been indicted
by the grand jury on the ground of in
iting a riot. The indictments have pro-
duced bitter feeling between the two
races, one result being the institution of
a determined boycott against the ne
groes. White citizens have discharged
their colored help and the situation IS
growing more and more strained, though
no acts of violence have yet occurred.
Public opinion appears TO be with the so
called rioters, and it is not expected that
the offenders will be found guilty. At
New Richmond some Of the colored
children were allowed to enter the school
room, but they were given the back seats
and their presence was ignored by the
teachers. Two oolored men have brought
suits for damages against the school
board and teachers, but prominent citi-
zens rashly assert that no power less than
a regiment of soldiers can force them to
recede from their present position.

Reheaded After Death.

The China papers report case in
which a prisoner was beheaded after
death. He was a salt smuggler, who
was concerned in desperate fight in the
neignborhoOd of Shanghai with the
customs officers. He was captured in
badly-wounded condition, and died
in prison. But as he had been a
desperate smuggler the magistrate
received orders from the superior
authorities that the corpse was to be
decapitated. Nothing was done dur
ing the festivities on the emperor's
birthday, but on Aug. 6, at 8 in the
morning, the magistrate, accompanied
by the captain of the garrison, pro-
ceeded to the execution ground out
side the west gate of Shanghai city,
where a judicial table and two chairs
were ready for them. The coffin of the
smuggler was then deposited close by,
and after a short pause the magistrate
threw down bamboo slip. on which
the punishment was written, and the
executioner forthwith took out the body
and cut off the head. The latter was
inclosed in small wooden cage, which
was sent to be exposed at the scene of
the crime, and the civil and military
mandarins, born aloft in their sedan
chairs, each returned by a different
street to their respective Offices

THE unprecedented floods in Georgia
of two years past are attributed, by
speakers before the American forestry
congress at Atlanta, to the reckless de-
struction of the forests at the headwaters
of the streams affected. Immense tracks
of hard wood timber lands in the noun
tains OF East Tennessee have been
bought by English companies which are
sweeping away the lumber at an alarming
-ate. The pine belt of southern Georgia
being cleared eff at the rate of 200
,quare miles year, and the net result OF
the slaughter is increasing damage by
foods and prolongued drouths. Never
theiess the tariff upon lumber remains

of every tree in the country.
