a Hellenic Warming

A large part OF ancient Greece was
covered with heavy forest, and it is
only within a comparatively recent
period that the land has been denu-
ded of it's noble woodlands. Now its
rugged hills and fertile wales are we'll
nigh bare OF trees, and MS a conse-
quence the rainfall, that should be
ample, has so greatly diminished that
serious droushts are frequent and in
creasins in length and severity.
There are theorists who maintain
that there is really no connection be-
tween forest growth and the rainfall.
They point to the heavy floods period
cally occurring in regions despoiled OF
their forests, and triumphantly cite
the annual record OF inches OF rain in
support OF their contention. But We
believe that experience will bear out
the assertion that in countries which
have long been denuded oftheir forests,
like Greece and Asia Minor, the rain
inll has actually diminished, while in
those where the destruction has been
more recent the annual rainfall may
remain the same, or nearly so, for a
considerable period, but it descends
at longer intervals and in heavier
quantities.
In other words, we believe experience
has demonstrated that the forest
acts as necessary regulator OF the
rainfall, causing more frequent and
gentler showers. and thus enormous
~ assists in the formation of agri-
culture. The farmer breads the rain
fall that comes in bulk, SO to speak.
lie wants it in quiet showers, and
this an ample forest growth secures.
We need in this country to take
warning from the condition OF such
countries as Greece, and betimes to
put limit to the destruction OF
our forests. lest in their destruction
we i-opardize tho interest Of our
great agricultural industries.

for Street Car Propulsion.
In view OF the objections to the ov-
erhead electric system for propulsion
OF cars on surface roads in cities. the
annoyance from tearing up streets
and thecost of plant and maintenance
OF the cable lines, the expense OF horse
power. with the sanitary evils result
ing from the location OF stables, in
populous cities, the fact that pneu-
matte motors, after a successful DEM
onstration OF their superiority, have
been largely overlooked seems mex
plicable. These motors not only are
entirely free from ths Objectionable
features OF the other systems but
they furnish mode OF propulsion
which is more safe and more economi-
cnl than any other with equal veloci-
ty OF transit These assertions are
made advisedly aud are based on act
ual demonstration. In 1878 and
1879 tive pneumatic motors were run
for several months on the Second nve-
nue. railroad in New York with perfect
snccsss. The position taken by the
officers OF horse railroad companies,
both in New York and Philadelphia,
was TINT any car running
along city streets without horses
horses in front would friehten horses
cause runaway acciden and subject
companies to suits OF damage. This
objection Of course applies with much
greater force to the cable and trolley
systems, which are accompanied by n
loud humming noise, while the pneu-
matte motor can have noiseless ex-
haust. But no argument or explana-
ton availed in the face OF this -ense-
less objection. One railroad president
declared that il the motor were
adopted by his company it would be
necessary to kill some of his old
horses, stufTs the skins and mount a
pair of them on a low truck in front

Why Eggs Spoil.

A fortified egg when raised to n
temperature OF G2' starts into life.
This process begins and stops these
hot days and cooler nights OF sum-
mer, and after few starts the
embryo chick dies and rotting lbegns.
II the egg was never fortified it is
evident that it could not spoil. The
remedy is to take away the roosters
and let the hens run alone. One
rooster on farm is sufficient ana he
should be kept by himself except dur
ing the breeding season, when ten hens
can be put in n yard with him and
eggs obtained to set.
The hens, if brought up by themselves,
are perfectly virtuous and never miss
their mates. They will lay more and
better eggs, which adds larger profit
to the farmers income. Uniertillzed
eggs keep twice as long as others and are
better Favored. The young cockerels
should be shut up in yards by them
selves and sold or eaten as soon as
large enough. Generally about one
tenth OF the fowls on a farm are males,
and they are OF no use, except for the
table, where they should be speedily
sent. 1t is estimated there are 20, 600,
900 roosters in this country, and
100000 OF them are an expensive
and useless nuisance.

advisable to have the same mixer
for the same COW constantly, I get
the most milk from feeding twice a
day, much better results than from
feeding three or four times; but my
cows are given all they will eat AMI
digest; n COW thus fed will lie down
when her wants nre satisfied, chew
the cud OF contentment, and secrete
milk. The mixers should have dry,
clean hands, and the cows udder
should be thoroughly and clearly
brushed before beginning to milk her.
The same COW should BIO MIXED ut

The Art OF Packing Butter,

The clumsiest hand can daub paint
on canvas, but it takes an artists
hand and brain to translate the pig
ments INTO n masterpiece. So any one
can pack butter into a tub or pail,
but 1T is an art, requiring skill and
judgment, to pack it in the best way.
An Ohio agricultural journal des-
ciibes n method OF packing butter
which may fairly be designated ms an
art. 1t includes, in the first place, the
transfer OF the butter from the churn
to the package without the use OF a
butter worker. the butter being thor
-oughly wished in the churn, and the
salt worked III before the transfer
Then with fork or paddle the butter
is transferred to the package in small
quantities, and pressed firmly down
with the paddle or II wooden potatoe
masher.
The water that accumulates onv !,
o! the butter is poured off by tipping
the package occasionally The pack
age is more than filled md then the
butter is cut OIL the edge OF the tub
leave the pranules exposed on the sur
face, and the purchaser can see at n
glance that thepackage contains gran
ular butter.
Such n package bears on it the
stamp oil an artistic touch, and it is
wisely suggested that if the maker is
sure that he can warrant it to be
strictly gilt edge" he should not
hesitate to say so on label attached
to the package, with his name and ad-
dress. BY this means he establishes a
relationship between himself and the
consumer, which will pretty surely
prove profitable one to both parties.
In fact, this carrying OF the artistic
idea into the domain OF the practical
is one that deserves II good deal more
consideration than it usually gets. 1t
isn't "moonshine", by n long way.
A package OF butter, or berries, or
apples. or any other product that can
be made to look better by care and
skill, will sell for n higher price because
OF the artistic touch-and surely that
is business" in the truest sense Of the
term.

An Improved Device for Microscopic
Study.

STUDY.
A most valuable addition has been
made to the methods in vogue OF OBJ
tanning critical illumination for the
microscope. The illumination is said
to be Critical when the image OF the
radiant, lamp flame or other source
OF illumination, is brought to a focus
by mirror or condenser at the plane
OF the object under examination.
Skilled microscopists are pretty well
agreed that the most convenient and
feasible means OF obtaining critical il
Elimination is by focusing the edge,
not the flat side, OF half-inch kero-
sene flame on the object.
DIR. Henry G. PiiYard, who in his
interchangeable studies, extending
over number of years, has made use
OF nearly all the known methods OF
I artificial illumination, including the
electric arc, electric incandescent with
cooled carbon OF 100 candle power,
calcium light, We!sbach gas light and
kerosene oil, has invented n new lamp
which embodies the best features OF
modern practice iii microscopic illu-
mnation.
The ordinary electric lamp in do
nestle use has an illuminating value
OF sixteen candles, and it's filament is
brought to incandescence by n current
having an intensity of about half an
ampere under a pressure of from lis
to 100 volts. The light is distributed
over filament five inches in length.
Such II light is not desirable for micro
opc work, in which the light rays
should be more condensed by the use
OF shorter and thicker iilament.
The life of such u lamp, however, on
an ordinary street circuit would be
brief, az a certain length of filament
is required to withstand the pressure
OF the current from the main. DR..
Piffard has overcome this difficulty by
devising 6 lamp OF fifteen candle pow
er, requiring current OF about three
omperes under pressure of fifteen
volts. The popularity OF this lamp is
that instead of having a filament OF
the ordinary horseshoe form and OF
the usual length. four to five inches,
quarters of an inch in length,
while the rest of the apparent fila
ment is composed Of copper wire, ar
ranged so as to hold and support the
carbon in a vertical position.
When the carbon, which is broader
and thicker than that of the ordinary
domestic electric lamp, is rendered
incandescsnt by the passage of cur.
rent, vertical streak OF light OF in.
tense brilliance, about three-quarters
OF an inch long and apparently an
eighth OF an inch wide, is given. The
minif!ed image OF this light is focused
by mirror or condenser on the object
to hs examined and constitutes
Critical" illumination, the portion
OF tho object within the ares OF the
streak having its most intimate struc-
ture thoroughly revealed.
A pleasing testimony to the value
