Sweet or Sour Cream Butter.

There has been considerable revival of
the old war between sweet and sour
cream butter advocates since the new
extractor came into the field This new
war has led to some excellent results.
Men have been experimenting to find
some way to prevent the alleged loss of
butter in churning sweet cream, and,
according to Professor Meyers, of the
West Virginia experiment station, if the
sweet cream is churned at "a dogs.
Fahrenheit it will come within forty
minutes, and with no greater loss of but

sour cream is churned at SO dogs. Fab

marketing the two kinds of butter. The

made from cream that ten years ago
would have been called sweet by any
butter ma ger of those days.-American

self Fabrication of Rivers.

AT the annual congress of German nat
uralists held at Halle, Professor Won Pet
tenkofer read paper on the sell purilica-
ton OF rivers. The self publication of
rivers had hitherto been attributed to
sedimentary deposits, but Pettenkofer is
convinced that it is the effect of oxygen,
partly freely dissolved in or absorbed by
the water, and partly produced by water
plants. He considers that the great guam
tity of low vegetable organisms in water
plays great part in the purifying process
The vegetable growths in river beds,
should, according to Pettenkofer, be pro-
tected, and refuse water from mills, chem
ical works, etc, which is destructive to
vegetable growth, should not be allowed
to flow into rivers unpurified.

wheat and Rye Compared.

The agricultural editor of the New
York World says:
Wheat foulishes best and is most
productive on calcareous soils-that is,
on soils that contain more or less lime.
Rye grows well on soils much lighter
and drier, and although it does better on
lands containing some lime, it does not
require it necessarily to the same extent
that wheat does Farmers SOW rye on
soils they consider too poor for wheat,
and therefore rye fields will usually be
found occupying the poorest soils of the
farm. Rye endures cold better than
wheat, and is a common substitute for it
on soils that will not grow the latter
grain with certainty and profit. Rye
sown as \ green crop in the fall may be
used for winter pasture or for soiling in
the spring, in either case furnishin
green food, which no other crop will so
well supply at the same season. When
harvested for the grain the straw of rye,
unlike that of wheat, is a valuable part
of the crop for sale, being extensively
used for packing and bedding material,
but on account of its toughness and
coarseness it has but little value as ami
NAL food

The security of this lock depends upon
the fact that several puffs of air are neces-
sary to cause the pendulum to vibrate with
sufficient amplitude to reach the ham
mer, and each successive puff must be
given at the exact moment when the pen.
dulum passes the opening (C) on its journey
toward the hammer; otherwise one might
blow all day without unlocking the door
The exact time of vibration of the pendu-
lum must thus be known to the person
unlocking the door, and this is easily de-
termined by second pendulum, which he
carries, consisting of string to one end of
which is attached a weight, and provided
at the other end with loop by which il
can be cQgyepienr,y attached to hook on
The outside Of the door.
This key pendulum is previously so ad-
justed as to length THAT it vibrates in ex-
sctly the same period of time as the I'M
locking pendulum on the inside of the
door. IL, then, il is desired to unlock the
door, the key pendulum is hung on the
outside and set in motion, and each alter
nate time that 1t passes its lowest point the
operator blows strongly through the hole
in the door, setting the unlocking pendu-
lum into synchronous vibration, which,
after a few puffs of air, strikes the hammer
and releases the bolt. Popular Science

The curious lock illustrated In the cut,
from La Nature. is the invention of a
young Norwegian farmer, M. Isaacsen, and
is of more interest from the novel scien-
tific principles involved in its construction
than from its practical value. 1t consists
of bolt OBJ which fastens the door, and
is held in position by weak spring (R).
A pendulum (P) is suspended from a hook
on the inside OF the door, which, when set
in motion. strikes an iron hammer (A),
causing it to fall upon the head of the bolt
and press it down so as to release it from
the fastening of the door. A hole Co is
bored through the door opposite the bob of
the pendulum, which is set in motion from
the outside by blowing strongly through
the hole. The details of this arrangement
