New Property of COttOn.seed Oil.

If the newly discovered property of
cotton-seed oil, which has been so widely
proclaimed, shall prove to be all that is
claimed for it, good judges are of the
opinion that the usefulness of that
abundant product is likely to be very
considerably extended. The simplicity
of the process is a valuable feature
which gives probability to such a result.
One gallon of pure cottou-seed oil being
placed in a suitable iron vessel, twenty
pounds of lead are melted and poured
into the oil, which at the same time is
thoroughly stirred, under which opera.
tiou the lead separates in globules, and
when the oil Is poured off, after cooling,
there is found 10 be about seventeen
pounds of the lead, the remainder being
absorbed by the oil. On the lead being
again melted, aud the operation repeated
to the fifth pouring-the amount Of
lead absorbed being less at each succeed
ing pouring-the total amount of lead
absorbed is about ten pounds. The oil
| thus charged with the lead is then used
as a paint, being applied in the ordinary
way to metallic surfaces, which 1t Is de-
sired to protect from oxidation or cor
rosion, the liquid adhering closely and
becoming very ard,-Bost0a Transcript.

SAVING IN HoRsEsHoENa.

Horseshoeing, though often written
about, is by no means an exhausted sub
ject. A great saving can be effected to
no detriment TO the horse, or owner, and
in many instances a decided advantage
will be gained, if we will only lay aside
old ideas. A western correspondent
writes us that he has had ten years ex.
perience in the mountains of Colorado,
staging, freighting and ranching. His
nearest railroad point is 100 miles dis
tant, and many ranchmen make the trip
and bring in heavy loads over the range
on a road that any farmer in the Middle
States would consider impraoticable.
Besides, there are scores of ranch teams
which make bitches, run mowers, haul
hay and haul timber over rocky roads
without ever having shoe on.-Ameri.

BLOODY MILK.


S. W. Ware, of Joplin, wants to know
why his COW gives BLOODY milk, which
comes sometimes from one teat aud
sometimes from all of them, though the
one teat is always worse than the others.
1t is the last of the milking that is
bloody, the first being only slightly col
ored. From this description, replies G..
W. Murtfeldt, the cows udder has prob
ably received some local hurt. The
driver or someone may have cast a stone
or stick without intent to hurt the
COW, but unfortunately he or she did
affiict the animal and make a bruise. II
she still gives bloody milk, make a care
full examination for tho seat of the
trouble, and if found heal it up. If q
wound, wash it clean and use hogs lard.
That another teat may also be affected
may come from the proximity of the
trouble or from sympathy, much as if &
man has a sore eye the other eye may
also become sore. If the COW continue.
to give bloody milk, and from more thar
one teat, she had better be dried up
fattened and sold for beef. OF course
all such milk is unfit for use AMI may
cause blood poisoning in those who par
take thereof. 1t is best to be on the safe
side. Sickness and doctors bills may
come to many times the value of tht
milk or cow.-jSt. Louis Republic.

Mhr nnrelicts Turn Over.

Nearly every incoming vessel which
reaches this port reports having passed
some dereict tossing about the North
Atlantic. The popularity Of the reports
lies in the fact that nearly every one OF
the wrecked vessels is reported as float
ing bottom up. The cause which in
duces craft which is built to float keel
downward, to assume the unnatural atti-
tude of pointing it to the skies as soon
as abandoned, is point ON which sea-
faring people widely differ.
II is easy enough to comprehend how
an abandoned and helpless vessel, drift
ing at the MIRO of wind and wave, can
be thrown on her beam end and oven
entirely capsiZed when struck broadside
on by an Atlantic wave. But why sub
sequent waves do not send them back to
their normal floating position appears
to be vexed question.
An old sea captain, who is too modest
to have his name mentioned, accounts
for the persistency with which derelicts
insist on floating about bottom up with
the reason that the bottoms of vessels are
always watertight. When suddenly cap
sized he thinks that quantity of air
is caught in the vessels hold, aud, being
confined in that space, has tendency to
keep the craft in an inverted position.
An eminent naval constructor, when
questioned on the subject, explained that
the phenomenon is caused by the vessel
filling with water, and says that any
shifting cargo changes the centre OF
gravity of vessel and affects its stabil-
ity. Experience has proved this true in
colliers and grain-ladeu ships. Sea water
is said to be worse than either, aud tho
influence on the stability of an abandoned
hulk, combined with excessive rolling in
the trou gh of the sea, is often sufiicien
to carry the derelict beyond the safe angle
of keel. Once beyond that point, the
constructor says, it will never RETURN

The comparative longevity and vitality OF
total abstainers and moderate drinkers of
alcoholic beverages is clearly shown by an
examination of the annual report of the
United Kingdom Temperance and General
Provident Institution of London. In the
temperance section of this ASSOCIATION the
expected claims were 3l4, but there were
actually only ?25. In the general section the
expected claims were 3S2, and $50 were pre-.
sented. This shows that among the total
abstainers the death-rate was only 1l.6 per
cent. of the expectation, while among the
moderate drinkers the percentage was 1902,
difference OF 2S.6 per cent in favor of
total abstinence.
The report shows that the comparatively
large death rate is not due to the fact that
the members of the general section are
heavy drinkers, because their large percent
age is still below the average death rate of
healthy males. The comparison, therefore,
is between total abstaners ana moderate
drinkers, and it seems 20 show what physi'
ologistS claim, that even moderate use of
alcohol accelerates the degeneration OF the
tissues and so shorteus life.

RESTORING SOIL FERTILITY.

y There are two methods of restoring
the lost fertility of the soil. One is by
the application of needed constituents
derived from soils and sources other
than the land on which they are to be
used. This involves a direct outlay of
money, and at once the question arises,
Will it pay2 In it are included the min
eral elements of plant food, such as the
potash and nitrates from foreign mines,
guano-the excrement of sea fowl, orig
inally derived from the sea-and phos-
phate rock, all more or less entering in
to the constituents of the commercial
fertilizers now so common. The other
may be said to be furnished, directly or
indirectly, by the soil itself. The most
direct way in which the soil can be made
to fertilize itself while under cultivation
is by the growing of plants whose de-
composition will return to it a greater
measure of fertility than was abstracted
for their production.
Fa While something had been learned in
this direction through farm experience,
1t was not until science came to the aid
of agriculture that the plants best fitted
for soil renovation and the reason for
preferring them as such became known.
Science and experience having jointly
determined that clover, peas and other
plants of their class are the ones spec
tally adapted to furnishing this require
ment, it consequently follows that
growing them and plowing them under
of haSr hac 10 hn nv,
TO make the soil fertilize itself. This,
however, is commonly thought toe
costly method, requiring, as it does,
the sacrifice of crop. In lieu of it, by
giving clover q two years lease, much
the same result can be realized through
the decay of the stubble and its more
extensive root system, and in the South
the cow pea makes so rapid growth
that two crops may be raised in sea
son.
An indirect way In which the soil may
be said to fertilize itself is through the
application of the manure from stock fec
on nitrogenous folders grown upon it
This opens up the subject of the bes
rotation of crops and furnishes a wild
field, not only for the farmers own eX
periments, but also for a judicious us,
of the knowledge which the numerou
experiment stations of the country ar
yearly placing within his reach withou
direct cost to himself.
After all everything depends on wha
the soil still contains aud the manner il
which the plant food taken off in pre-
vious crops may be most naturally an
cheaply supplied again.-Ne,O York u,
