An estimated deficiency of $50 600 in the
Police Pension Fund this year has melted the
Police Board to action, and the Legislature
will soon be asked to furnish some relief. Two
bills are to be offered-one authorizing the
Board of Estimate to make up the deficiency
by direct appropriation and the other pro-
vding fa the setting apart every year of an
additional $50 900 for the fund from the eX
else moneys. The necessity of keeping the
funds treasury full needs no enforcement, and
the Legislature will fail in an obvious duty if
the needed action is not taken.
Senator Saxton's readiness in debate was
exemplifed yesterday in manner creditabe
to him and satisfactory to his friends and adj
mrers. Immediately after the reading Of Gov
ernor Hills subtle and carefully considered
message on the Ballot-Reform bill, the author
of the measure rose to reply and did so in a
speech which traversed the Governors specious
arguments with destructive force. Mr.. Hill
evidently counted on surprising the Republican
supporters of ballot reform and taking them off
their guard. When he reads Mr.. Saxton's
speech he will realize that he reckOned without
his host.
The question of excessive canal appropria-
tons received some illumination in the Assem-
bly, yesterday and the attitude of the great ma
jority of the Republicans will cause the hearts
of the taxpayers to rejoice The bill under
consideration, which had passed the Senate
was really misleading in its title, and would
add about $500, 900 to the amount to be ex-
pended in the discretion of the Superintendent
of Public Works. In the course of the dis
cussion it was brought out that in the last ten
years the State has spent for repairing main
tanning and improving the canals not less than
sec 7S6.374. That is an enormous sum, and
it will not be surprising il the farmers and the
taxpayers generally draw long breath of
amazement when they contemplate it. A mo-
ton that would have killed the bill in question
was defeated BY the votes Of thirteen Repub

Solubility of Carbonic Acid.

The solubility of carbonic acid in
water is OF great Importance in the
chemistry of nature, for this acid,
brought down from the atmosphere
dissolved in rain is able to act chem
ically upon rocks. such as granite,
which contains alkalies-the carbonic
acid slowly disintegrating or crum-
bling down the rock, an effect much
assisted by the mechanical action OF
the expansion of freezing water in the
interstices OF the rock. 1t appears
that soils arc thus formed by the slow
degradation of rocks, and when these
soils are capable OF supporting plants.
the solution Of carbonic acid is again
of service, not only as a direct food,
by providing the plant with carbon
through its roots, but as a solvent for
certain portions of the mineral food Of
the plant (such as phosphate Of lime)
which pure water could not dissolve,
and which the plant can not take up

Election on the worshippers, for the au-
tomato beauty of the workmanship is
that the door or lid can not be shut

also an indicator inside the box which

Farmers in Egypt.

The farming population of Egypt,
Notwithstanding that they have the
richest soil on the face of the globe,
are among the poorest of their class.
Their holdings are small, and they
are taxed to death. They are hap
Ply if they can get the bare necessa-
ries of living, and their homes, in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
are huts, made of dried sun-baked
bricks, and hudGled together along
the unpaved streets of village.
These huts are square or rectangle In
shape. They are seldom more than
seven feet in height, and their roofs
are fiat. The live stock of the fam
lily often takes up a part of the room,
and goats, and cows, and donkeys,
and men, and women are crowded
into one little room. The wife of the
farmer works, as well as her husband,
and, though she must wear a veil
over her face to keep other men from
seeing her, she carries all of the
water for the family, from the Nile,
on her head, and provides the fuel
for the family by gathering the soft
droppings of the camels and the cows,
and patting them into shape with her
hands to lay away and dry in the sun.
She cooks without a stove, and the
people live on the cheapest Of food.
They know nothing of the beauties
of nature, and they have neither gar
dens nor flowers. The houses are so
closely huddled together that you
could plant an Egyptian village of
five thousand people on twenty-five
acre field. You would hardly con-
slider the houses of the town fit places
for your hogs, and you certainly
would not trust one of your blooded
horses or registered shorthorns within
them. Farm wages are scarcely life
supporting. In Upper Egypt there
are thousands of men bending all day
in raising these Nile-eaters, who re-
ceive from five to seven cents for
working from sunrise to sunset, and
about the great city of Cairo | am
told that the average of farm labor is
not more than twenty cents a day.
Such of the farmers as own their
land can do no better. Their farms
are not more than one or two acres
in size, on the average, and siX-sev-
enths of all the people Of Egypt live
by farming. Taxes range from five
dollars an acre upward, and there are
import taxes on all kinds of produce
at the city and village gates before
they can be brought into the markets
and sold. The national debt Of Egypt
is to-day nearly as large as that Of the
United States, and the average of
the burden supported by this power
ty-stricken agricultural population is
more than 1925 a family. Still,
Egypt has been selling for years more
than fifty millions of dollars of her pro-
duce per annum to the nations Of the
world, but her surplus goes to her
rulers, and the bankers Of Europe
grow fat on the life blood of the land
of the Nile.

Four Dishes from Beans.

Put one pint Orleans in four quarts
of cold water with one-half pound
each of salt pork and corned beef,
one bay leaf and slice of onion cut
fine. Simmer slowly for four
hours. When the beans are thor
oughly cooked, which will be in about
two hours, take out a plateful and let
them stand until cold. Then make
salad with two tablespoonful of vim
egar, one of olive oil, one Glove, of
garlic, and a sprig of parsley with
pepper and salt. When the soup is
we'll cooked, dip out all of the broth
into the tureen over small squares of
toasted bread, leaving the soft beans
in the kettle. Add one pint of hot
milk, and butter the size of hens
egg, and when this boils, two table
spoonfuls of flour wet with cold water;
season to taste and you have nice
dish of stewed beans. Serve the beef
and pork with baked potatoes and
YOU have four courses at which a
hungry man will not grumble.

Fruit Without Seeds.

All fruits that grow with pit, a
core or with seeds, can be made to
grow without them, when it is un-
derstood, says the Live Stock Record.
1t is accomplished by reversing the
scion-rooting the top end of the
plant. To do this you bend the
scion to sprout down, and cover with
dirt. After roofing cut it loose and
and let the root end be up. Apples
are grown without cores, peaches with
seeds, and grapes and other vines al
so, by simply reversing the plant.
1t is true, and can be done to GER
tainty.

CarboIic Acid.


Carbolic acid is very useful where
animals are bred and kept. 1t is a
great purifier whether it is sore or
stable or a pen that needs purifying.
1t will destroy most of the disease
germs that lurk about our premises,
if properly applied. A free use of
carbolic acid would often destroy the
germs of disease and prevent sickness
among our animals. All diseases are
to an extent Catching" That is
true of common cold because there
is present animalcula, which will try
to find Judgement in other systems
than the one that is suffering, if other
animals come in contact with the dis
charges. An animal catches cold in
the head, and it may run into gleet
in the horse, and while other horses
may be able to resist the animalcula,
if they come in contact with them,
they may not. Hence it is desirable
when animals have discharges from
the nostrils to scatter something like
carbolic acid wherever such dis
charges are liable to be. One of our
writer's on swine mentions that its
value has been recognized by the COM
mission which investigated hog chol-
era and reported to the commissioner
of agriculture. 1t is commonly used
now by the most careful breeders of
swine. Some use it constantly about
the pens and feeding floors and
troughs. One of the writers says that
even the vapor of carbolic acid will
destroy the spores of germs of disease
which float in affected atmosphere.
1t prevents the development of bac-
terra if used before 1t has arrived at
the glia stage or massing. DR.. Stet-
son, of Newponset, ILL.,, has had re-
markable immunity from the disease,
though he raises from three to five
hundred hogs each year, and the dis
ease has ragged all around him. The
beds, pens, feeding floors and water
troughs are never free from the odor
of crude carbolic acid. DR.. Detmers,
in his report to the department Of
agriculture, 1880, says he thinks it
possible by corbolic acid treatment
"to destroy the conditions necessary
to formation of glia and the develop
ment of swine plague or arcizophyta,
by treating about three weeks with
regular doses of carbolic acid"

Mind in Farm inq.

The idea has generally prevailed
in the past, and possibly more by
farmers than others, that for the bus
mess of farming but little intellectual
training was necessary. A willing
ness to work on in the old routine,
that has been tran shifted from the
practices of the past, was all that
could be safely relied upon for sue
cess. This narrow view. borne and
kept alive by ignorance only, is a
mistaken fallacy of the past, fast dy-
ing out, rather than the sentiment of
intelligent present thought. The ag-
riculture of to-day is not based on
manual labor alone. The education
of the mental faculties, as well as the
training of the hand to work skillful-
ly, is recognized as an essential in fit
ting for the life work of the farm.
Upon these, intelligence and labor
combined, rest the hope of progress
in agriculture. And yet it may be
questioned if farmers fully appreciate
the value to their children of a home
training and education in the work
and in the business of the farm.
Each year there go out from the
farm. young men and young women
to assume the work of managing farms
for themselves. Are these young
men and women as well educated and
trained in the work and business af-
fairs of the farm as they, the sons
and daughters of farmers, ought,
with their opportunities, to be? We
fear there is too much of indifference
in parents in teaching their children
the business of farming, not only as a
trade, but as a profession. 1t ought
to be kept constantly in view that the
training and education needed by the
farmer can largely be learned at home,
and that the practical knowledge
thus gained will be Of inestimab lie
value; so much capital with which
to begin the business of farming.
