Points on Cold Storage.

If large cold storage room is to be
built independent of any other building
it must be made on the same principle as
an ice house, with walls packed so as to
be non-conductors Of heat-the lower
room for storage, smaller one on top
and in the center for ice, thin but
water tight division between the two,
with pipes to carry off the water from
the melting ice. The reason for putting
ice on top Of the storage room is that
cold air descends, while raredied air rises.
In some cases where refrigerators are put
into rooms with low stories the ice
bunker or receptacle is in an annex at
the side or end, but, for the reason given,
on top is better.
When a refrigerator of medium size is
wanted that can be set up in another
room it will, as rule, be better to buy
Of a manufacturer by furnishing a
diagram of the room in which it is to
stand. giving the dimensions wanted and
other particulars and agreeing on the
price to be paid.
Many of the refrigeTators designed for
butchers and poulterers' use are about
10x6 feet i'm the clear, with u suitable
sized ice bunker on top. There are
plenty of manufacturers in New York
and other cities who make them of the
sizes ordered, and to suit the rooms in
which they are to ,e placed. and in forms
that can be conveniently shipped and
quickly put up on arrival at their desti-
nation.

dance all around the premises, and would
yield an inexhaustible supply OF potato
manure equally as good and much
easier to collect and handle, GER
tainly, than the droppings scattered
sparsely over mile or so of woods. If
the facts, as clearly established by our
experiment, could be impressed upon these
people it would surely be OF great advan-
tage to them.

How to Level Back Burrows.

A correspondent of Rural New Yorker
describes as follows device for use in
leveling back burrows and filling dead
burrows:
Make a V of two 2x6 inch 10 feet
planks. Make the point end sharp by
shaving off the corners, and bolt firmly
together; place the spreading ends 18
feet apart. Use for the spreading brace
a 2x4 inch 18 foot scantling, spiked
firmly on the ends Of the V near the top,
which will leave two inches to be rounded
off sled runner fashion to prevent catch
ing rubbish.

/ A Poor Mans Fertilizer.

OpCdhlllS III Cu0dp I0rUtuZ0FS W. II; IoO-
mans, in the Massachusetts Ploughman,
says that while he has had but little ex-
perience with green manure it has been
very satisfactory so far and created in
his mind very favorable impression.
There is a chemical and mechanical effect
produced in the soil by the green stuff,
that seems to be especially adapted to
plant growth. The decomposition of
grass, or weeds, in fact, any green sub
stance that must pass through a state OF
decomposition, seems to cause a pulver-
ization of the soil that no artificial means
can secure. Some years ago press OF
other work forced him to let a vegetable
garden grow up in weeds and grass.
Finally he turned the stuff under and cul-
tivated the ground to crops. 1t gave him
immense satisfaction-he never saw a
better land to till than was this, after the
stuff had rotted. Thegood effect was de-
cidedly remarkable. Itwas a gratifying
surprise, and it's good effects were to be
seen on that particular plat years after
wards.
Writing on this subject Prof j . p. Stelle,
Agricultural Editor of the Mobile Register,
says;
We have had similar experience on our
gull coast piney woods lands-the green
stuff turned under has always shown a
beneficial effect. And we have made some
special experiments with green stuff as a
manure that have given most gratifying
results One year we conducted an eX-
pertinent with sweet potatoes thatpanned
,out splendidly. The potatoes were
planted on the Trench System lately writ
ten up in these columns. square acre
of poor sold field'' was put in. Close
alongside was heavy growth of scrub
oaks, and about the middle of April,
when these oaks had sent out long and
tender leafy growths, we got a lot Of chill
rdren to work and had them fill eight
trenches across the side of the patch with
these young and tender sprouts broken
from the oak bushes The sprouts were
pulled off and carried to the trenches in
baskets; it was somewhat tedious job,
but owing to the abundance and nearness
'of oaks, did not take SO long as one might
have supposed it would. So soon as
trench was filled, we'll packed by tramp
ing, the soil was raked over the sprouts.
The rest of the patch was fertilizcd in the
usual way with stable manure.
Our draws" were ready to set about
the last of May. By this time the trenches
containing the green stuff settled down a
little, creating the necessity of raking
on an inch or so more of soil to level up.
The same variety OF potato was set alike
over the entire patch.
At harvest we saw no difference what
ever in favor Of the stable manure-the
yield of the trenches in which the green
stuff only had been used was fully up to
that of the estable-manured trenches-over
two hundred bushels OF good potatoes to
the acre When the potatoes we're
ploughed out no sign of the sprouts was
to be seen-they had entirely decomposed,
leaving only loose, black mold.
OF course this kind of manuring would
scarcely be practicable on large scale.
We made the experiment in the interest

Haw They Catch Fish in GeOrgia.

Last Monday morning it was our
pleasure to go a-fishing with party
ON Alapah, near Grover, and see
how fish are caught the "new way"
From four to six men go into the
water with a log in front of them,
and a sheet with one edge on the
log and the other edge held up by
the men so that the fish can't jump
over, but fall on the sheet. The log
is pushed along TO the land, and
when near il the fish begin to try
to make their escape back to the deep
water by jumping. If they fail to
MAKE good leap they lodge on the
cloth, thereby becoming victims oi
their own destruction. Ii is anus
ing to see how they Jump. Its sup

THE CAPITAL JOURNAL.
Two New Cruisers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The
navy department is already actively
preparing to build two three-thou-
sand-ton ships. IN the construction
bureau advertisements for materials
are being prepared, and will be
published in short time. Both the
construction aud engineering bu-
reaus are of the opinion that the
vessels can be built within the limit
of cost fixed by Congress, and are
confident that such will be the case if
allowance is made for the premiums
that will have to be paid to the con-
tractors for excess of speed. The
boilers for the vessels are lal ger than
those in Baltimore, while the vessels
themselves are much smaller.
Should the machinery come up to
the expectation, the vessels Will
make at least twenty AID a half
knots. For this excess, above the
nineteen knots required ny law, the
government would be obliged to pay
a private shipbuilder $500 900.

A Fortunate Druggist.

Mr. Edwin W. Joy for many years and now

The Pearl Oyster.

The pearl oyster, containing the
pearl, and whose shell is lined with
the brilliantly tinted mother of
pearl used in so many ways, is found
chiefly about the southern coast OF
Asia. An uncomfortably sharp sub
stance entering the shell is covered
by the inmate, thus forming a pearl.
This habit has been utilized to force
the oyster to produce pearls, some
times the form of cross being
placed in the shell to be conveyed
into beautiful ornament. They

divers.-Boston Budget.
