Mexicans Are Not Rich in E~xpedients.

On the tramway between the towns oil
Zacatecas and Guadalupe in Mexico,
which are a few miles apart, the way
from Zacatecas is down grade. This
cars go at great speed by their wi
gravitation; no animals are attached,
for the descent is as steep as a toboggan
slide. 1t requires six mules. however,
to draw each car back again. The AMI.
mails are harnessed three abreast, like
the horses in the Paris omnibuses. Even
the projectors of the tramway had no
fixed idea as to how it should be
operated, and an American overseer has
been in charge from the beginning.
The cars were ordered from Philadelphia,
and while they were being built, the
steel rails, which came from Liverpool
by way of Vera Cruz, were laid down
from one end of the route to the other.
When the cars arrived, it was found
that they would not on the track, as
the rails had been laid on a guage three
inches narrower than that for which the
cars we're designed. The Mexicans, in
their ignorance, saw but one way out Of
the difficulty; that was, to rebuild the
cars, make the bodies narrower, and cut
off the axle-trees to fit the gauge of the
rails. The present superintendent, a
practical American engineer, was in
Zacatecas at the time, and took in the
state of affairs at a glance. He offered
for five hundred dollars to show the
how to get over the trouble with
out altering an article on the cars. The
money wa paid, and with twenty men
and proper tools the American took up q
few rods of the track, made a gauge for
the rest, and in n day had the cars
over the short distance. The
managers of the road at once put the
American in charge, and he has held the
ever since. -Argonaut.

PEAs IN THE GARDEN.

Early peas are usually a very profitable
crop for the market gardener. They can
be planted among the earliest of any
crops, in fact just as soon as the ground
is in condition to work, and as the ques-
ton of profit is largely determined by
earliness every effort should be made to
secure this point. Choose ground that
is either level or that slopes slightly to-
ward the south. and prepare it by work
ing in a very liberal quantity of good
manure. Enough should be applied to
make the soil distinctively rich and loose,
so that its quality is apparent to the eye
and the hand.

How Tall Chimneys Oscillate.

The extent or degree of the oscillation
of tall chimneys may be exactly taken
bv a close observation of the shadows
they cast upon the ground. An instance
to the point is that of a chimney lis
feet high and four feet in diameter ex-
ternally at the top, near Marseilles,
France, the oscillations of which were
observed by the shadow during a high
wind to attain q maximum of over twenty
inches. -Detrvit Free Press.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
BEE STINGs.

Bee stings were considered at the
Wisconsin Convention. 1t was regarded
as an easy matter to avoid stings by
proper protection. Most a%piarians try to
avoid arousing or angering bees. Bee
wells, hats and gloves are used by
many, but the quiet action of the bee
keeper and care in handling them will
enable the bees to be handled without
singing. Sometimes smoke Anglers the
bees instead of quieting them. 1t was
advised that all beginners should wear
wells until they have acquired con-
fdence and are quite fearless.-New York

AVOID EARLY PASTCRING.

Pastures should not be pastured until
the heritage has made a good start. 1t
is a great waste to feed off the grass be-
fore it furnishes q full bite. The roots
are nourished through the leaves. It is
in the leaves that the food of plants is
prepared for assimilation and change into
cellular tissue; and until the leaves are
we'll grown the roots cannot grow. But
when the leaves are we'll started the
roots increase and the foliage then grows
more rapidly, and as this grows the
roots become stronger. 1t is plain, then,
that early pasturing stunts the growth
all through the year, and is Of little
benefit to the animals themselves

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1s
Fresh eggs are those not over a week
old.
Fresh water should be given twice a
day.
A cow likes to be MIXED if she likes
her mixer.
Oats stand next to wheat as an egg
producing food.
The greatest profit on a pig is in the
first 200 pounds.
Radical changes of feed often make
the hens eat sparingly.
Wheat bran wet with hot water makes
a good summer breakfast.
It is not necessary to coddle or pamper
fowls to make them grow.
Roasting cotton seed is said to greatly
improve its feeding quality.
To keep fowls in a dirty, ill-ventilated
hennery is a foul proceeding.
Twenty-four hours after Matching is
soon enough to begin feeding.
The fowls will not thrive if they are
forced to stand in mud all day.
There is more profit, in the long run,
in c~ultivating one acre than in skimming
ten.
Keep your stables warm, dry and
clean, and provide plenty Of good bed
ding.
One pound of cheese contains more
nutritiye elements than two pounds OF
beef.
Owing to its fertilizing value clover
should never be sold for less than SIS
per ton.
Trim your fruit trees so as to give a
free, open top, no two limbs touching or
crossing each other.
Close observers say that skim milk is
worth twenty cents o hundred pounds
for feeding to calves and hogs.
Hen manure is no better than any other
manure unless the food of the hens con-
tains valuable fertilizing elements.
Whenever the fowls can have a good
range and get plenty of green feed little
or no animal food will be necessary.
Eggs are often badly favored by al
lowing the hens to werk too much over
the manure heap or to eat unsound feed.
Are your stables cleane For the sake
of those who have to drink the milk-as
we'll as the cows-be sure they are
clean.
The COW gets her exercise in gather
ing food to fill her stomach. She Is at
rest when she is doing her best IN Ella
borating milk.
Don't put any faith in the methods OF
improving bad butter or cheese after it
is made. The right way is not to make
a bad quality.
Change. the water for fowls ct least
once a day, and place the water-vessels
of whatever kind in the shade 10 keep
as cool as possible.
With poultry,a as with everything else on
the farm, there is always an opportunity
to sell at good prices fowls or eggs that
are of little better quality than Others
are offering.
Game, Houdan, .Leghorn, Hamburg,
Andalusian, and Black Spanish are the
varieties Oh chickens that require high
fences il order to control them. They
are all high flyers.
Sulphur for nests, whitewash for TIT
houses, coal oil for the ~roosts, cleanliness!
for the floors and plenty of pure air and
a variety of food for the fowls are es
s~entials in profitable poultry keeping.

counting for the presence OF this n q
full salt deposit, but the one most gener-
ally accepted is that the surrounding hills
and mountains contain Immense sodium
deposits, which are dissolved by natural
courses of water, either rain or under
ground, veins, and then carried to the
lowest ground which in this case is the
basin that contains the salt deposits. All
creeks in this vicinity discharging their
water into this lake have salt water be-
fore getting to a point even several feet
higher than the surface water of the
lake, which has no communication what
ever with the sea. 1t is only fed from
these creeks flowing from the adjacent
hills and mountains.
The salt found on this island is of a
very superior quality and is believed to
be the only pure, white, natural, refined
salt-deposit or mine-in existence. In
its natural deposit it is found in even
layers from five to eight inches in thick
ness. 1t forms ever and pure white crys-
tails, and is ready for the mill IS taken
from the lake. When fine table salt is
required no other refining process Is
needed than that of milling.
The actual deposit, extending yer
$40 acres, ct a uniformed depth Of twelve
feet, gives $40, 170, 900 cubic feet, or
~, las, 92S tons OF pure, perfectly refined
salt. As soon as the workmcn have ex-
cavated a given number of cubic feet
they abandon the site and operate at an
other point. In the first cavity the brine
comes quickly to the surface, reforms or
crystallizes, and in two weeks is ready
again for the native miners. This proc
