WILL BURN WATER.
Rev. NJ. Alley, of Phillips, Makes a Most
RemarIsabIe DLseoxery.

Rev. NJ. Alley, of Phillips, Makes Most
Remarkable Discovery.
What may prove TO be the most important
invention OF modern times, and one that
will revolutionize the manufacturing ip-
dustries and. In fact, all commerce, has
been inven led at Phillips, Price County, by
Rev. NJ Alley. Mr. Alley has studied thor
oughiy and extensively for the past ten
years the subject OF combustion, in the at
tempt TO invent an apparatus TO cause the
consumption of smoke in large furnaces
Not succeeding in that beyond a certain
limit he at last applied himself to the in
vention OF a device to bring about the burn
ing of water, which he has at last accom-
plished The apparatus consists of q tank
for water, which would be the boiler OF a
furnace, pipe leading from the tank to
the fireplace into the burner. The
burner is very simple, being only a
piece of gas-pipe, varying in size
according 20 the intensity of the
fire used, and filed with scraps of iron
or coils Of wire. This burner lies over the
fire. and steam passing through it is heated
TO such high temperature that when it
issues from the oriiice in the pipe it is inn
medtately transformed into its component
gases and burned producing heat many
times greater than that of coal. The most
important part of the invention is a valve
which allows the water to enter the burner
in quantities only sufficient TO its needs.
The fuel is diminished three-fourths, and
the heat produced increased many fold.
One of these has been in use ON common
cOok-stove in Phillips for several months,
but not many outside that locality have
heard of it. A few days ago fits operations
were witnessed by Milwaukee capitalists,
who were greatly excited about it, one
romarking that it seemed almost like witch
craft.

Value of Grass and Clover.

No system of farming is said to be
complete that does. not include grass
as one of the crops in rotation. Green
grass makes more beef, more milk,
more wool and greater growth OF
young stock than any other food that
is allowed. in proportion to cost, as it
is most plentiful at a season of the
year when the demand of the animals
for supplying warmth and repair of
waste is at itss lowest degree, and also
because the animals harvest it them
selves BY grazing. II is the grazing
of the grass by the animals that re-
duees its cost. compared with grain
and hay, that adds to its value, and
for this reason the farmer can afford
to grow grass for his stock alone. But
grass performs another function. 1t
adds to the fertility of the soil. A crop
of clover sends its roots deep down in
to the sub-soil and appropriates food
that is far beyond the reach of sur
face-feeding splants. The stored fer
tility, which is just as much beyond
the reach of the farmer as though on
a neighboring farm, is transmitted to
every portion Of the plants, and the
substances in time find their way back
to the field in the shape of manure.
The farmer, therefore. enriches his
field through the agency of clover by
bringing from below the fertility of
the sub-soii and transferring it to the
soil. philadelphia Record.

A RAILWAY HOLOCAUST.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June GA freight train
which left Latrobe at $50 q IN. Wednesday
with about forty-fiye mon coming from
Johnstown aboard collided on the
Pennsylvania railroad bridge near Latrobe
with an extra freight train. The
wrecked trains toppled over on another
freight train which was side-tracked on
the bridge, and thirty-one cars went over
the bridge into the water fifty feet below.
Il Is almost certain that twenty-five or
thirty people were killed and many
others were hurt CARLOAD OF lime
in the center of the train was the last
to go down, and it was scattered over
the pile of shattered cars Then the de-
bris took fire. The work of clearing the
debris was continued all day and abandoned
at a m. until to-day. Ten dead bodies
have been recovered Those of Engineer
Caldwell and George Fralich, fireman,
have not yet been found, but II is expected
that they will be reached before long The
injured, so far as known, number eleven
The water In the creek at the point
where the accident occurred Is about
twelve feet deep, and IL is expected that
number of bodies will be found at the bot
tom of the creek under the wreckage.
John H. Miller. fiagman on the
freight, says that the proper signals
were given. and Engineer Caldwell an
swered, but the speed was too high When
the Inflated train left Bolivar about forty
woTkmen boarded her. but Conductor Barn
hart put them of at Derry When the train
left there great many or them boarded
her again. Four of the injured taken
from one car said that eleven others
were In the car, and in another box
car, It is said by one of the res
eued, there we're fifteen or twenty men.
One or two OF the bodies taken from the
wreck were terribly burned by the lime
which covered the wreck The loss to the
railroad company, il is said, will reach
$4,000.

Why IL should Be Used Cautiously rs q
Feed for Laying Stock.
Indian corn, as fattening food, is
valuable, but as a food for laying or
breeding stock, should be used in linn
tied quantities, II at all. There is q
tendency to use it more freely, because
1t is, for the amount OF nutriment con.
tanned, one of the cheapest cereals TO
be had. In addition to its fattening
and heating qualities. there may be
other reasons for n more sparing use
OF Indian corn, as the following ex-
tract from n letter indicates:
81 have been having hard luck with
my fowls, have lost quite number, in
what has seemed an unaccountable
manner. The fowls were hearty and
were fed literally ON wheat and In
dian corn, and as the corn was the
much cheaper grain. the fowls have
had about three parts corn to one part

the cause of death by dissecting her.
The windpipe was examined. and.
though it looked little inflamed, 1t
was perfectly unobstructed. Clearly
that was not the cause of death.
When | opened the body | found the
liver very greatly enlarged. several
times as large rs it ought to have been,
and | suspect that this was the cause
of the fowls death. | remember to
have read somewhere that much Indian
corn tended to produce liver disease,

this solves the mystery. | expect to
feed less corn in the future, for be-
lieve, despite its cheapness, that it is
the mo t expensive grain fancier can
feed. for it don't require the loss OF
many fine fowls, added to the first cost
of the corn, to make it cost more than
wheat, oats and barley. Iwish the
latter grain was more generally Guilt
waited, for it is a most excellent grain
for fowls
If any OF our readers have facts to
confirm or to contradict the idea that
Indian corn induces liver disease, we
shall be glad to hear from them. If it
is true that it has this tendency it will
probably be found to be greatly in
creased by close confinement. for fowls
which run at large, and have ample
exercise and abundant forage, can eat
with impunity what would not be de-
sirable for them in confinement As

are produced, which measure the

Serious Losses from 'FTurnlp and straw"
and water Feed.
No care. feeding or forcing can make
heifer that naturally gives thin, poor
milk give rich milk, abundant in solids.
On the other hand, aheifer with born
possibility to give rich milk can have
that possibility ruined byca "turnip
and straw" bringing up, and after
feeding. Any food or system of feed
ing not balanced in the elements need
ed to enable the COW to produce milk
of a balanced character, and which
asks her TO contribute from her own
bodily stores of flesh and blood, de-
stroys in part a cows natural develop
ing of milk. The aim should be not
only to develop the flow of milk, but
this flow should always be limited by
its quality. Feeding water into
cows milk makes no gain in butter
or cheese production. The value
of milk is not figured by pounds,
but by what it will make in
butter and cheese. | doubt if it be
wise to highly feed young heifer for

feed a generous ration of good clover
hay, silage and wheaton grains, and do
the high feeding after calving. Before
calving there is no drain upon the
mammalary glands, and overlooking
will not so much affect milk-giving as
1t will tend to llesh-forming, tendency
We need to discourage.
But when the milk-aow begins and
nature finds free outlet in that direc-
tion, then there is established a supply
and demand between feed and milk
giving that may be cultivated up to
the normal capacity of the COW. /
doubt the propriety of ever allowing
calf to suck good COW. The hand is
as perfect a machine with which to
draw milk as calls jaws,
and avoids all the pulling and
bunting, that can but some
times be an injury to the udder, often
tender, and slightly inlamed. There
is then no holding up of the milk, and
establishing of maternal affections
that later on often seriously lessen the
milk-how when at last the calf must be
weaned. After fifteen years OF close
observation and practise, prefer that
the COW should have her own first
milk. A little can be saved for the
calf, who will drink at tho start with
out the bother that follows later on,
when trying to change it from a sucker
to drinker. The breeding and feed
ing Of dairy cows is study; matter
for patient investigation, and the sooner
dairymen recognize and act upon this
fact the sooner forty out OF every hum
