EVERYBODY
EATS
CRACKERS.

Everybody eats crackers and conse-
quently anything relating to their
manufacture and sale is of general in
terest. There was a time in the his
tory of the business when crackers
were all about the same. One brand
was just about as good as another and
none of them were good enough to be
any great temptation to a delicate
stomach. That time has passed. It
was a good many years ago. The
crackers of the present generation are
as different as day from night. There
are good crackers and bad crackers
fresh crackers and stale crackers and
of the whole lot, stale crackers are
the worst.
There are some grocers in the coun-
ers because they can get them cheap
and make a big profit on them. They
think their customers don't know the
difference and by and by, when their
cracker trade is all gone, and they
don't sell box in week, they look
surprised and say: Funny how peo-
pies tastes change. People don't care
for crackers any MORE"
Don't they though? People don't
care for stale, unwholesome crackers,
that's true, but they do care for
cracker that is pure and fresh, and
altogether delightful as an article of
food.

Hot Wafer for Insect Pests.

In relation TO the use of hot water for kill
inc lice and insects generally. the director oil
the New Jersey experiment station makes
public the following
Entomologists Of the highest standing have
differed in their estimate of hot water az an
insecticide.. OF the most notable, Professor
Riley. of Washington, and Professor Lintner,
of ALBANY. advocate 1t. while Professor
Forbes. of Illinois. one of the most distln-
guished and reliable of economic entomolo-
gists. states from repeated experiments made
bv him personally that water hot enough to
kill the caterpillar will scald the plant, and
water too cool TO scald the plant will do the
caterpillar no harm.
We have made many and careful expert
ments with hot water using what is or ought
TO be in the possession Of every farmer, q
common garden watering-pOt with nozzle
having fine perfOrations. The temperature
was taken Immediately before sprinkllng,
while the water was in the watering-pot.
With the temperature at 100 degrees the
plants were somewhat scalded, mostly ia
holows of the leaves where the water col
lected. With the temperature at 175 degrees
the leaves were very badly scalded, and
the plants very greatly injured. In no case
were the plants at all scalded or IN any
way injured when the temperature was below
100 degrees With the temperature at l5O de-
qrees the caterpillars seemed to be injured.
but not killed With the temperature at lao
degrees the caterpillars were not Killed al
once, but ate no more. and died In few hours,
most of them falling from the leaves and be-
ing deyoured by ants and other insects. We
can. therefore. after repeated trials, recon-
mend hot water as a safe and effective remedy.
The temperature should not he above 100 de-
grees or below 40 degrees at the time OF APP
plication, and the water should be applied IN
as fine spray as possible.

Condition of the Soil.

The idea that fruit can best be raised
on poor. shallow soil has become 50 prevalent
that many fruit growers give such soil the
preference even when they have the choice OF
soils that are deep and rich. This idea must
have come from the fact that as a rule, such
soils have better natural drainage. For that
reason fruit trees will sometimes thrive toll
erably we'll on what. if they were given a
deep, rich soil. not thoroughly underdrained,
they would prove complete failure.
Experience. however shows conclu-
siyely that rich, mellow soils. made deep
by thorough cultivation and good drainage,
are much superior 10 shallow. naturally well
drained lands for the cultivation OF fruits
Peaty and spongy soils should. of course, be
avoided, IA they become very warm by day
and radiate the heat very rapidly on clear;
frosty nights. A rapid growth is also induced
in such localities during the summer. which
is easily destroyed by the succeeding cold
season. There is very little of our average
farm land but that will raise good fruits, and
especially the more common kinds OF small
fruits if properly worked.
Should the soil be shallow one. plow as
deeply as possible, and manure heavily. If
the soil be rather moist and rich. good. thor
ough underdrainage will usually be sufficient.
Many of our most productive orchards have
such locations. as they are generally better
protected from the dry winds so trying TO
fruit trees.-Thomas ID. Baird IN Orchard and

In Rockingham County,

Some farmers-in fact. a great many farm
ers-are out of debt and have surplus cash to
invest and the question for them to consider
Is where and in what can they make the SAFEST
and most profitable investment. This ques-
ton the American Cultivator answers by ao-
visino them to invest in. not in buying more
land but in improving the acres they already
possess. They should put their surplus INTO
their business as the wise merchant OF
manufacturer does. The Cultivator says.
"When a small extra investment IN better
soeds and more liberal manurlng will decrease
the labor of cultivation, or when extra cult
vation will make an Increase in the money re-
turn four times as great as the expenditure
when better tools will save their cost IA a, one

Ammonia as a Motive Power.

A most successful test was made on Friday
of the use of ammonia as a motive power u
displace steam. The test was the first that
has ever been made on marine engine. and
the trial was most satisfactory. An ammonia
engine plant has been fitted out on the tug
i. w. Hartley. which made trip up and
down the river. subjectng the new scheme TO
practical test. II is known as the Campbell
ammonia engine system, and its workings are
novel and interesting, not only TO the me-
chanical and scientific circles. but also TO the
laymen OF the industrial world.
ANY ordinary engine can be converted into
Campbell ammonia engine simply by the
addition of generator. viii h is much like
boiler Steam is used simply tor the pur-
poses of heating the aqua ammonia in the
generator The heated ammonia expels q
gas, leaving weak solution of ammonia in
the bottom of this boiler-like affair. When,
by raising the temperature of the ammonia,
sufficient power is generated. the throttle
is opened and the gas passes into the cylinder
of the engine and propels the piston rod in
every way the same as steam. 1t Is here ex-
hausted the same as steam. but at this point
the gas is cooled and conducted back to the
generator Before il reaches the latter vessel
il is carried by spray coil" 10 point where
the gas comes in contact with the ammonia
which has been rejected from the generator.
and here the solution is recharged by absorp-
ton and by the natural affinity existing be-
tween water and ammonia
BY this means tn, same body of ammonia
is used constantly. exhausting itself only to
be recharged with new life and be returned
TO the generator. The same is true of the
water used The steam in the generator i'm
parts its heat to the ammonia. and is thereby
condensed and carried back TO the boiler TO
be used again. In the ammonia engine there
is absolutely no waste. On the other hand
there is saving Of coal. as the engine can be
operated on one-half the amount OF fuel. On
the Hartley yesterday only one of the two fur
naces was used. and there was all the speed
and pressure that could be desired.--Phila-

The United States Department OF Agrlcul-
ture has been testing various forage grasses IN
tie hope of finding some variety that will -four
ish on the arid regions of the West. and event
ually cover those sage-brush wastes with a
verdure pleasing to the eye and convert them
into broad pastures 1t is reported that from
experiments made at the Garden City Expert
ment Station in Kansas the desired grass has
been discovered This is the bronze
CBromus lnermis) which has been SUCCESS
fully cultivated in Austria. Hungary and the
arid regions of Southern Europe. Last
season twelve varieties OF grasses were
sown at the experiment station, but
two of which survive the unusual drought;
while the bronze grew luxurlantly, and
enough seed WAS saved TO enable the depart
ment TO SOW a much moro extensive area TINS

plague of insects First the dendroctonus

bug, which destroys the fruit flowers. ETC.
and now comes the horn fly that is deprivlng

entomologlst of Washington. advises the. use
of train or fish oil. with small quantity of car
bolic acid added. thoroughly rubbed over the
cows. This lasts about six days, when the
application will have to be renewed. In the
absence of either train or fish oil axle grease
can be used Crude carbolio acid is better
than sulphur. This preparation does not Kill
the fly, but keeps it away from the stock, and
so gives them resting spell. Lime should be
used in the barn yards and under the trees
around which cattle congregate. The flies
breed and propagate in the droppings, and the
lime destroys the eggs which hatch IN July
and August.
