Edison's Electric Motor.

Mr.. Edison says that he is working at
an electric motor which he thinks su-
perior to any yet shown to the public.
These motors, he says, are ''bound to
come.' A friend who visited him was
reminded by Edison that they had ridden
together some ten years ago behind a
motor which the wizard had constructed
at Menlo Park. "That motor he said,
did everything since done by others;
but was switched off from the subject
then by the need of working on improve.
ments for the electric light" The motor
which Edison is now making is for Mr..
Henry Willard for use on a regular rail-
road, and it will develop at least 1000
horse power, which win be as powerful
as locomotives now in use. It is to take
up its electricity from the central rail.
Power from trolley wire would not an
swer for the the speed which this motor
attains. In point of economy it is ex-
pected to work great revolution. 1t
can be run at one-sixth the cost of coal.
When Edison gets motors under way the
$4,000 men and women who now get
employment from the manufacture and
sale of his inventions will be increased
to three times that number Boston

The Largest Three Master Afloat.

The new ship Ditton, built at Milford
Haven, England, for R. W. Leyland &
Co., of Liverpool, has sailed from Car
diff, Wales, for Rio de Janeiro with 8
cargo of coal. She is stated to be the
largest three-masted sailing ship adoat.
The dimensions are: Length between
perpendiculars 329 feet, length of deck
about $50 feet, beam forty-two feet three
inches, depth of hold twenty-seven feet,
draft when loaded twenty feet, reg
istered tonnage $3.50, dead weight 45oO
tons. Her accommodation for officers
and crew is right amid ships and the full
width of the ship, thus giving her con-
siderable length of promenade deck, at
ter the style adopted in steamers. On
this deck, just forward of the mainmast.
is chart room and wheelhouse, the lat
ter provided with two wheels. There is
a second wheelhouse under steel turtle
back right aft, and this has telegrapaic
communication with the upper deck.
What answers to the forecastlc in ordiu-
ary vessels is used in the Ditton for lock-
ers, stores, and pens for sheep and pigs.
The accommodation for both officers and
men is very extensive, the same being
fitted up with every modern convenience.
Between the mems quarters and the Off
GERS rooms there is sail room, capable
of holding three sets of sails, and store
room. There are separate rooms for the
men for the two watches, each being
certified for twenty seamen. She Is un-
der the command of Captain Stap.-Psc-

to give more than they will eat Is to
waste the extra feed. In order to de-
rive the largest profit In feeding stock
it is necessary to take every advantage,
and neglect to do this will lessen in pro-
portion the profit. With nearly all
classes of stock in feeding to fatten bet
ter results will be had by feeding three
times day, but it is important that the
feeding be done regularly. To feed part
of the time three times each day apd
then miss few days and feed only twice
is not good plan. Better results will
be secured by feeding twice regularly
every day than three times a part of the
time and only twice the rest.
That is, regular feeding twice day
will give better results than irregular
feeding three times day. In determin-
ing the number of times to feed the farm
work must be considered. If the other
work will not interfere with the feeding,
it is usually best to feed three times, but
it must be done regularly. The feeding
should be done at regular hours, and,
when possible, it should be given in
daylight, dividing the time as evenly as
possible. Animals soon learn their hours
of feeding, and if they do not get their
meals at this time, even when they are
well fed they will fret aud be loosing to
some extent at least. A good plan is to
look over the work that is to be done
while the stock is being fattened, and
arrange the time and manner of feeding
SO that it can be done regularly with as
little interference as possible.
If it can be done three times day
regularly, all the better; but if not, feed
only twice. Begin gradually to increase
the fattening rations until they are given
all that they will eat up clean, and then
see that this is supplied every day.
Hogs and cattle are the principal stock
fattened at this season; it is best to push
them as rapidly as possible and then
market as soon as they are ready.-St.
Louis Republic.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A man cannot be truly eloquent If he
knows not how to listen.
Tact can afford to smile while genius
and talent are quarreling.
Both courage and fear owe much to
the armed neutrality of prudence.
The seeming length of sermon is
generally proportioneo to its needs.
1t is expensive economy to make
part of the truth suffice for the whole.
The balloon route to the top of Olym-
pus has never been successfully travelled.
Virtue and laziness may live together,
but they are not usually on the best of
terms.
All that is wise has been thought
already; we must try. however, to think
it again.
Money and property are costly knife,
but do not use it to hurt, but to distrib-
ute bread.
Beware of the vicious man who pro-
poses to reform his life on the install
ment plan.
It's good rule never to do for the
sake of gain what one wouldn't do for
love or duty.
Don't worry your brain about the man
in the moon, but study the man in your
own overcoat.
If man could gain the whole earth
it would begin to shrink as soon as he
had possession.
The only thing that walks back from
the tomb with the mourners and refuses
to be buried is character.

DISEASES FROM PIGEONS.

The pigeon, as is well known, will
feed at all the poultry yards in neigh
borhood, and is no respecter of owners.
A flock of pigeons will soon learn to
know the feeding hours, and will alight
in yards when not desired. They are
liable to carry disease from one yard to
another, even on their feet, and, as they
are subject to many of the diseases that
affect fowls, and particularly roup, they
are nuisance in any community. They
will also introduce lice from distance.
If one wishes to keep pigeons he should
do SO by keeping them confined in wire
yards, covered, ,and not at the expense of
his neighbor's feed, with the risk of
causing disease in all the fiocks. There
should be some protection for those who
do not wish pigeons in their yards

INDIRECT FERTILIZERS.

There are substances that in themselves
do not furnish the plant any needed in
gredient for growth, but when applied
to the soil assist materially in augment
ing the crop. One of the best illustra-
tions of this class of fertilizers is common
salt. Lime is another substance rarely
lacking in the soil, but when added as
sists in setting free other substances that
are much needed by the growing plants,
that otherwise would not have been
available for the crop. Water is added
in irrie cation not as fertilizer but be-
cause it is the great solvent in nature
and the vehicle of transfer of the various
substances that go to build up plant
when entering it from the soil water

FACTS ABOUT FOWLS.

There are probably more Leghorn,
Plymouth Rock, and Light Brahma
fowls bred throughout the United States
than of any other three breeds, and pos
sibly of all breeds. The Leghorns will
rank first in number, the Plymouth
Rocks and Light Brahmas following
very closely.
Upon the attention given to growing
chicks during hot days will determine
largely the success at the close of the
summer season. In hot weather young
growing chicks suffer from heat, and
need certain foods that do not produce
fat, but more that bring bone and mus
Gle.
Eggs when they command only eight
cents per dozen in the market should be
carefully packed in salt and stored away
for higher prices. This method will
keep eggs nicely, and by October they
will bring at least twenty cents per
dozen. Certainly the margin of profit
at this figure is ample.
Many who have failed to make a sue
cess in other pursuits in life go at poul-
try-keeping with the idea that it is pro-
iitabIe and easy, with little or no labor.
They learn after time what it means
to hatch and rear one thousand chicks.
One or two years experience dispels
their first idea, and they are glad to
quit.
Ducks are not as good field foragers as
chickens or turkeys; their short legs and
fat, web feet retard their movements.
On pond or other water they make up
for their awkardness on land, and go
through much exercise that is good for
them. The duck is exempt from many
prevailing diseases to which other poul-
try are subject. They are usually ex-
cellent layers, the Pekin duck leading all
in this respect.-American Agriculturist.

GROUND BONE AS A FERTILIZER.

In report on experiments made at
the New Jersey Station with ground
bones as fertilizer, it is pointed out that
ground bone is both phosphate and a
nitrogenous manure, insoluble in water,
but when in The soil Is decomposed and
Yields its constituents to the feeding

varies but little in composition and Is
less liable to adulteration than most fer
tilizers. They, in fact, are usually pure.
Ground bones have tendency to cake,
and to avoid this the manufacturer may
use other substances which, while aiding
mechanically, reduce the chemical value
of the mixture Raw bone is most usually
pure. but the fat it contains renders it
less easily decomposed. Bones having
served the purpose of the glue maker are
low in nitrogen and very high in phos-
phoric acid. The method now employed
of steaming the bones under pressure i'm
proves their quality without altering the
amount of the plant food ingredients. As
the value of ground bones depends upon
composition and their fneness, me-
chanical as we'll as chemical analysis is
required to determine their value. The
farmer must determine by crop tests
which grade he should buy-whether,
for example, pay dollar for ten pounds
of phosphoric acid in one condition, or
for eighteen and halfpounds in another
form. Average wood ashes are worth 81
per ton, but the best vary considerably.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
DESTROYING FARM TOOLS.

1t ruins farm tools about as quick to
be left exposed to the hot sun of mid
summer as to be lett out in the rain or
snow. Heat dries and shrinks the wood
work SO that tools and machines become
shaky, and it makes openings for the
moisture to get in and complete the
work of destruction. If you must leave
the tools out at least keep them well
painted. The paint fills the pores, and
to some extent will prevent spreading
and cracking. Paint is good preserva-
tive, and coat applied every spring or
fall will double the life of tool.-Neao

TEMPERANCE.
ALCOHOL NOT A REMEDY.

DR.. n. s. Davis, President of the Chicago
Medical College says: "Becauss the ssnsa-
tions of alcohol are generally considered
only, many individuals are ever ready to
prescribe intoxicating beverages to relieve
the baby's collie, to strengthen the mother,
to relieve the fathers WEAKNESS, and to pre-
vent the boys and girls from taking colds
and of course doctors and people are all
united in calling them tonics, stimulants,
and restoratives. Alcohol does not lessen
the effects of evils, but diminishes the con-
sciousness of their existence"
