A Submerged Railway in Spain.

The sOmnOlent country of Ferdinand
and Isabella is no SLOUGH when she wakes
up and sets to work in earnest. Just
now she has novelty in the way of a
submerged railway. 1t runs through
the surf off Oreton, near Bilboa, $50 feet
out into the ocean. The mines of
Oreton are extremely rich in iron, but there
is no harbor there and great difficulty
has heretofore been experienced in get
ting the ore off to ships. Now that the
submerged railway has been built it is 9
simple matter. 1t runs out into deep
water, and an iron tower seventy feet
high, worked by counter balances, runs
from the cliffs to the waiting vessels,
which was moCred bow and stern in the
roadstead. When the tower arrives ut
the ship its top, bearing its load of ore,
is about even with the vessels deck. AS
soon as the iron is loaded on to the
pulls the tower back to the cliff, where
it runs up to the mouth of chute and
automatically opens its mouth. The
chutes comes down from the mines, and
when it has dropped on the tower
enough ore to overcome the weight of
the counterpoise, the tower starts away
to sea again. This sort of thing is kept
up until the vessel is filled. All that is
necessary to do to start the tower on its
peregrinations and put the submarine
railway in operation if for the miners to
drop ore into the chute. -Nea0 Orleans

FERTILIZERS FOR OATS.

1t Is a serious question with many farm
ers, particularly in the Central West, TO
what extent fertilizers can be employed
at profit. Jacob Zellers, contestant
in the American AQr.culturi1 COMPETE
ton last year, applied 500 pounds of
phosphate on his acre of oats and har-
vested thirty bushels. The land for six
teen years had been in a fOur-ycar rOta-
ton of oats without manure, then wheat
drilled in with grass seed and 200 pounds
per acre of bone meal, after having
twelve two-hOrse loads OF manure plowed
under, the hay crop being followed the
fourth year by corn. The crops were
fifteen bushels per acre of oats and wheat,
two tons Of hay and forty bushels Of corn.
The practical result is therefore An in
crease OF fifteen bushels in Weld by the
USE of 500 pounds of phosphate. This
certainly did not pay, even allowing
literally for the plant-fOod remaining IN
the soil. There are evidences in Mr..
Zellers's report that lead TO the conclu
sion that very much less fertilizer would
have had the same result At a cost that
would have proved a profitable invest
ment. 1t is q simple matter for farmers
to find out how much fertilizer it will
pay to use by applying varying quantities
to strips of land and noting which plot
gives the most profitable crop. In the
case of J. c. Miller, Fairfield County,
Ohio, clay loan that had never been
manured-a corn stubblc-was stirred
three or four inches deep with a spring
tooth cultivator, followed by four har-
rowings with the Thomas harrow, twice
each way alternately, and was rolled
twice. Then 400 pounds of phosphate
were drilled in, after which two and one
half bushels Of White Bonanza oats were
drilled in crosswisc with 200 pounds Of
bone meal Just before the last harrow
ing, 100 pounds of salt was broadcasted,
and $50 pounds Of nitrate OF soda was
sown by hand five days after planting.
At fifty cents, the crop of sixty-nine
bushels just about paid for ITSELF

The door flew open and forth rushed
a troop Of armed men falling into the
midst of the band of pirates. Taken al
together unawares, the latter, although
the most numerous, fed in every direc-
ton pursued by the ships crew. Some
were cut down on the spot; others leaped
panic-strIck over the edge of the cliffs
and were dashed TO pieces on the rocks
below. Others threw themselves into
the sea and were drowned. But a good
number gathered in a rocky angle, and
being armed prepared TO make desper-
ate resistance which might have been
successful, as they still nearly equaled
the invaders in number. But at that
critical moment the other men from the
ship arrived; after a short and desperate
fight the pirates were overcome. Those
who were taken alive were thrown from
the cliffs, not one being left on the
island. At sunset the other pirates who
had been seized OH the ship were also
hanged at the yardarm. Not one es-
capped. The vengeance was bloody in
deed; but then it should be remembered
that many a helpless crew had been sent
to the bottom of the sea by these same
cruel and treaCherOus rufians who for so
long a time had made the island Of
Sark a terror to the mariners of all
nations. Since that bloody tragedy the
island has been the abode of peace

President remarked that they now need
frequent blowing and reseeding; though.
when the country was new, they re-
manned much longer, yielding good
crops annually OF clover and timothy.
There were present several OF the best
farmers in the county, and they freely
acknowledged the truth of the state
ment.
One farmer said the land is being
robbed Of Its elements, which produced
large crops OF grass, and are not re-
turned; consequently, the land Is be-
coming poor, and would prodGSc less
and less. Others responded that top
dressing did not keep the meadows
good. 1t was The decided opinion that
meadows, as well as pastures, must be
plowed, cultivated and reSecdcd, 10 OBJ

the Homestead" farm, in the days
when the mower was unknown, was
made almost perfect, so smooth was it
and free from stones. Each year it was
given heavy top-dreSsing The sod be-
came very hard and solid. The grass
was fine, and a fair crop was obtained,
but not near what should have been
grown, as il was the most natural grass
land on the farm. This WAS carried on
for years-long enough to demonstrate
whether that was the right way 10 man
age the meadow. IL was finally broken
up, and a crop of corn raised, followed
by spring wheat, and then seeded to
clover. A finer crop of clover never
grew.-Anerican AqriruHurist.

The Salmon as a Jumper.

When you study the name of one of
our native fish, the blue fish, you know
him as Pomatus salatrix, because he is
salatorious. In pursuit of has prey, to
swim as fast as a flash flies Is not suffi-
cient. He hurls himself clear out of the
water when chasing the menhaden. AL
the Salmonid@ have the same habit of
jumping; but they spring clear of the
water, in some cases for feeding purposes,
but as often as not to clear obstacles,
such as falls, when ascending the streams
in order to spawn. When it is remem-
bered that the leaping salmon has to
overcome the resistance of the current of
water, the wonderful muscular power of
the fish can be appreciated. Careful OBJ
servations made by experts, by means Of
graduated stakes set in the water, show
that an adult salmon can make perpen-
dicular leap of not less than sixteen
feet. 1t must be, too, clean jump, the
fish taking the downward plunge, with
his head entering the water first; other
wise he would be carried back to his
point of departure-to the fall he had
started from.-Harper's Weekly.

No one can economic for the farmer

Peas, beans and cow peas have about

When asparagus is planted in rows,
they should be four or five feet apart
A wash of fresh buttcrmiLk is said to

Fowls require lots OF water, especially
in warm weather Fill their drinking
cups often with pure, fresh water.
Brush laud is a splendid rowing place
for fowls. If there are no predatory ami
mails better place could not be had.
The scrub animal has pedigree which
by adverse circumstances has down
ward instead of an upward tendency.
A well-managed creamery in COM

perity that it has never before known.
Plant the garden so that you can have
a regular successian of vegetables. Plant
small fruit with the same end in view.
Many of the diseases common TO child

lilies, for even if they should be taken
from association with the children of
fesh-eating families, they assume only
the mild forms and occasion but little I'M

Wax pole beans are delicious eating.
They succeed the ordinary dwarf beans,
and keep up the supply until the frost
kills the vines. They are richer, more
succulent and more palatable than the
dwarfs, and should be in every garden

A Curious DraM.Rridge.

zone of the most curious draw bridges
in the world" said an officer of a West
India fruit steamer, sis in the harbor
called St. AIMS Bay, in the Island of
Curacao. 1t is called pontoon bridge,
and one of the pontoons is a steamer.
The steamer was built in Camden, Me.
1t is a scow forty feet long, twelve wide
and seven deep. There is a single shaft
that runs clear through the boat, and has
forty-inch screw propeller on each end.
The shaft is turned by two 9x12 steam
engines When the draw is to be opened
the Captain of the steam pontoon casts
off the lines, gives a Voot on the whistle.

thereupon half the bridge swings round

through. Then the wheel is reversed
and the gap is closed. "-NeW York Sun.

STERILIZATION OF MILK.

A newly introduced process-a very
simple one-promises to be useful and
effective for the increased consumption
of milk This is the sterilization of the
milk by heating it and thus destroying
all germs of decomposition after it has
been inclosed in perfectly air-proof bot
ties. There is no secret or difficulty
about the process, which may be carried
through in any well-arranged dairy. But
it is a curious instance of the ignorance
of many persons not practically &C
uuainted with the dairy business to
notice the claims Of the promoters of the
enterprise for the preparation and sale Of
this steriIzed milk, which will keep in
definitely and is especially adapted for
the nursing of infants. In a small pam
phlet sent out by a company formed to
carry on this business it is stated that
''the milk is carefully freed by tiltering
from every particle of droppings from
the COW unavOidably falling into he
milk pail, " and from excrements adher-
ing to the udder and surrounding parts. "
It is right that this point should be ex-
blamed in regard TO the milk prepared
bv this company, but 1t is a remarkable
insinuation against the cleanliness of the
farmers who supply milk for sale, and an
example of amazing ignorance Of the Gus
toms prevailing in even the average milk
diaries. where such unavoidable filth
can never possibly fall into the milk

POPCORN FOR PROFIT.

The fact is suggested to those looking
about to dodge competition in crops,
that popcorn is always in demand; many
times the quantity now grown would be
used if raised. Children are fond of it,
and it is better for them than nuts and
candy, and apparently just as satisfac-
tory. The price ranges from seventy five
cents to 81 per bushel of ears, it being
the latter here now, and scarce at that

WIRE NETTING IN THE GARDEN.


The suggestion is made in Gardes and
Forest to substitute wire netting for bean
poles and pea brush in village gardens.
The galvanized wire netting sufficient for
a row Of peas, beans, or tomatoes $50
feet long, it is affirmed will cost twenty
cents a year only, if ordinary care be
taken Of the netting when not in use. In
using the wire only few stout stakes are
needed, which can be put away under
cover when not in use, and it makes the
neatest kind of trellis Imaginable. 1t
throws no shade and always presents a
point to tie to. Tomatoes usually need
good deal of tying with most methods Of
training, but on the wire netting they
soon get their shoots interlocked in the
meshes and only need the occasional ty-
ing in Of branch. This netting is not
only cheaper than the various patent trei-
Uses offered for sale, but is much better
every way. The netting is largely used
for poultry-yard Enclosures. A wider
grade is used, so as to make fence seven
feet high by the help of a base board
twelve inches wide. There is no reason
why these poultry-yard fences could not
be made both beautiful and useful by
using them to support grapevines, trained
high, so as to have the fruit out of the
way Of the poultry. The vines would be
benefited by the droppings of the fowls
and the fowls by the shade Of the vines.

George II. Twiss, Columbus Ohio,
weather prophet, predicts severe win
ter, basing his predictions en- the indl-
cations afforded by the track of the
West India Cyclone. He says the tenn
perature will be as low as the extremes
of 1873 and 1884. His indications ore
as follows:
November-The temperature of the
first part Of the month will be below the
normal, the latter part Of the month
above the normal, the lowest fall of
temperature being near the middle of
the month. In the Northwest contin-
ued cold weather; in the North east
temperature above the normal; in Ohio
heavy rainfalls, with occasional snow
fall in the northern part of the State.
December--Mild the early part of the
month, with a sharp fall of tempera-
ture between the 18th and the 25th,
dropping to zero and perhaps below at
points in the State For the holidays
the thermometer will rest between
freezing and zero. The outlook for
slelghing during the holidays IN the
central and northern part OF the State
is favorable.
January-A very cold m onth, with
heavy SHOWS, severe cold dips between
the lst and 10th and 29th and Both,
With mercury falling to 20 degrees be-
low zero and perhaps even lower in
some localities in either or both of these
dips.
Febuary-Will be much colder than
last year, but not of the marked severi-
ty of January. Should the weather in
dicated for January be verified and the
conditions Of 1884 be repeated, floods
must be apprehended and all possible
precautions be taken to avoid suffering
from the results. For details for the
coming winter study of the winters of
1888 and 1884 will be useful There
will be found to be noticeable simi-
larity.
