Increasing the Wind supply.

According to the New York World, a
close observer might see in the nostrils
of some of the football athletes a curious
wire frame, which expands those impor-
tant parts of the breathing apparatus, so
that a much greater than the normal per-
centage of oxygen may be received into
the lungs. just before the Yale Harvard
boat race it was rumOred that several
Yale men had come to town to have ad-
ditional breathing holes" bored through
the cartilages of their noses. The fact
was that they did come probably to have
these wire ''spreads" inserted to secure Il
greater 'wind" supply. More oxygen of
course means more strength and more en-
durance. These wire frames or spreads
are about third of an inch in diameter,
shaped like a paralleelogram, with a
rounded end, and about an inch long.
They are variations of new implement
in gynecology.

If put up IN a good shape so that it
Will keep, wheat or oat straw will make
an excellent feed to use during the win
ter While wheat cannot be used for
feeding it can be converted into a good
quality of manure by using for bedding.
1t is too good a product to be thrown
away, as it is often done in burning In
itself it may not contain very large
amount of pent food, but it is good
absorbant, and by using for bedding
much of the liquid voiding that would
otherwise go to waste is absorbed, and in
this way can be applied to the land.
Mixed with clover and bran it makes
an excellent food for stock during the
winter 1t is not by any means com
plete food in itself, but fed in connection
with other materials good results may be
secured. But the quality must be good,
and the way it is stacked has much to do
with the quality.
1t can be stacked so that it will shed
water and keep in fully as good condi-
tion as hay, but it is often the case that
by carelessness large quantities of it is
spoiled. The most economical plan is to
Htftth - buld>uCu. tuc WOIk Will DC less
and the straw in the best condition One
mistake that is too often made is that suf-
ticient care is not taken at the start The
foundation Is either made too large so
that the rick cannot he properly com
pleted or not large enough to hold all,
and what is over is often on one side. The
sides should be kept up evenly like hay
until you are ready to top out, and then
draw in gradually, taking pains all the
time to tramp evenly, so that in settling
it will not make fat places to take water.
Where there is large acreage of wheat
there is of course considerable quantity of
straw. Yetwith good management usingto
mulch, for bedding and to feed it can all
be used to a good advantage-at least
much more prohtaby than to burn.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

At the Paris Exposition a watch was
shown only quarter of an inch in diane
ter.
Thomas Ward assigns the causes Of sub
sidences which have taken place at North.
wich, England, to the pumping of brine
for the manufacture of salt.
Although it was written in French and
translated from that language into Eng
lish, Professor Guyot's "Earth and Man"
has only recently been published in French
for the first time.
Put pure olive oil into a clear glass
bottle with strips of sheet lead and expose
it to the sun for two or three weeks, then
pour off the clear oil, and the result is
lubricant which will neither gum nor cor
rode. 1t is used for fine machinery of
all kinds.
There is a continual improvement no
ticeable in the machinery being intro
duccd into shoe factories. The recent
inventions in this line are great econo-
mixers of time, and will, according to the
labor leaders, materially aid them in their
endeavors to bring about the cight-hour
system.
The latest report states that twenty
one observatories are now engaged in the
international undertaking of photograph
ing the entire heavens. Each observa-
tory will have to take about seven hun
dred photographs in the zone assigned to
it, and it is hoped to finish the work in
three or four years.
A French scientist proposes to intro
duce a small apparatus that will represent
the face and gestures of the person speak
ing through Edison's improved phono-
graph. While the phonograph cylinder
is turning to register the speech, instau-
taneous photos of the speaker could be
taken at the rate of six hundred per min
ute.
A remarkable specimen of amber from
an unknown locality in Southern Mexico
measures four by three by two inches, is
perfectly transparent, and is said to be
even more beautiful than the opalescent
or green amber of Sicily. The natives
who bring this amber to the coast report
that in the interior it is so plentiful as to
be used for making fires.
1t is now regarded as a settled question
that the nitrogen of the atmosphere is
fixed in the soil for the use of vegetation
by the action of microbes, and that no
soil is destitute of these germs. 1t is sug-
gested that the greater development of
the microbes by farm yard manurcs may
explain the apparent superiority of such
fertilizers over artificial manures theoreti-
cally as good.
The authorities say that the duration
of a lightning flash is not infnitesimal,
but that the flash lasts u measurable time.
For example, if one sets camera in
rapid vibration and exposes in it plate
so as to receive the impression of the flash
it is found that the impression appear
widened out on the negative, showing the
negative to have moved during the time
the flash was in existence.

THE Good Old DAYS"

Among the curiosities to be found in
the Minnesota State Law Library are two
volumes of the colonial laws of Massa-
chusetts, 1860 to 1772. They are, of
course, reprints, but 'ye olden style"
has been faithfullyreproduced. The code
OF laws in vogue in those provincial days
was truly very crude. 1t was then that
the whipping post was resorted to as
mode OF punishment, but it is stipulated
that mo man shall be beaten with above
forty stripes, nor shall any true gentle
men, nor any man equal to a gentleman,
be punished by whipping unless his crime
be very shameful and his course of life
vicious and prohigate" Again the code
says IF any man shall Blaspheme the
name Of God, the father, Some or Holy
ghost, with direct, expresse, presemptu-
Gus or high handed blasphemie, or shall
curse God in the like manner, he shall be
put to death.

SPREADING MANURE IN TUE WINTER.

Manure made in the winter should,
when it is possible, be spread as it is
made, on the land where it is to be used.
1t is fact that cannot be controverted,
and has been abundantly proved both by
reason and practice, that manure is never
worth more than it is the day it is made.
Nothing is added to it, but usually much
is lost from it by lapse of time. Except
on steeply-sloping ground, the manure is
safe from all danger of loss, and is put
where it will do the most good when it
is spread on the land direct from the
stable. There is no more handling of it,
and if is rained upon all that is dissolved
from it goes into the soil, just where it is
wanted, Hence it is convenience and
an economy to haul out the manure and
spread 1t as soon as a wagon load is
gathered.-AmericdR AgricultWist.

Sal.

Salt is necessary in milk as well as
vegetables, for sick or well, and espe-
cially for children. Its action in the cir
culation is well understood; it enhances
the vital processes, mainly by accelera-
ting tissue changes through the elimina-
tion of more urea and carbonic acid; it
prevents the solid coagulation of milk by
either rennet or gastric juice. The cows
milk ought never to be given without
table salt, and the latter ought to be
added to a woman's milk when it be-
haves like cows milk in regard TO solid
curdling and consequently indigesti-
bility.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.


Uncul;ivated land is not wholly unpro-
ductive In some places people make more
ready money in an easier way by harvest
ing and selling wild berries than they can
by the poor farming methods they give
to their partly exhausted cultivated land
Yet where wild berries are profitably
grown, cultivated berries of the same
varieties will be still more productive,
and pay even better fproperly managed.
A farmer ought TO be ashamed to let ma
ture's unassisted methods excel his best
efforts. --AWericm CultiCdtor.
