The Open Market.

We notice an article in our evening
contemporary in regard to the open
market, and to a certain extent we
heartily agree with the author, vet
we think the proper thing to do in
regard to solving the market problem
is to leave it to the butchers as to
whether they prefer to hire a stall in
the market or not. If the open mark
ct Is improbable to the butchers they
certainly can, at any time, return to
the market house and avail them
selves of all the benefits arising from
the change But we see no use. nor
do We deem it just to those who are
established in their places ofbusiness
that the city council should, by an
arbitrary order, cause them to break
up at great pecuniary loss to them
selves just to increase the eity's reve-
nue.. Then have the public no rights
to be consulted in this open market
question? The people want them,
and we think it best to let the ordi-
nance stand as it is. Whoever wants |
3 stall in the market has right to
go and hire it. We don't want any

Apparatus to Prevent Collisions.

An apparatus for preventing collisions
between trains has been invented by
Professor Pellat. 1t consists essentially
of a band Of travelling paper impregnated
with iodide Of potassium. A platinum
stylus moves over the paper, and when
current of electricity passes through the
stylus and the paper the iodide is decom-
posed, leaving a blue mark as in the
Balm chemical telegraph. The current
is supplied by the moving train in the
following manner: The wheels press
down levers placed at intervals along
the rails and complete the circuit of a
battery connected with the platinum
stylus and paper CT the apparatus, which
is situated in the signal cabin. The
marks thus made on the paper indicate
the position Of the train and enable the
signal man to trace its course along the
line. Having this guide as well as abso-
lutte control over the signals, he is in a
position to reduce the chances Of COLI
sion to minimum, if not to render it
impossible.

Successive oat CROPS.

There is good reason why the oat crop
should be the most exhaustive of any Of
the grains. Its leaf is not so broad as
that Of barley or wheat, and 1t sends its
roots very much farther than does bar
ley at least. Wheat roots reach down
into the subsoil and get moisture, and
probably also some plant food, where the
spring grain would not reach. Dat roots
completely fill the surface soil to the
depth Of the blowing. It is this which
makes it SO hard to get a good catch Of
clover, and this failure to get good
clover growth is usually the reason why
the land is left till another year and
sown with oats again.
American Cultivator, commenting on
successive oat crops, says that it has
known several cases in which these
were grown for several years, with the
result of SO entirely destroying the soils
fertility that the land would scarcely
produce white beans. Clay land is
most often injured by cropping with
oats, and the effect on such soil is to
harden it into clods. Where land has
been made poor by oat growing one of
the best ways to restore it is to plow
in the fall and SOW q crop of peas with
whatever fertilizer can be got. Peas
make more shade for the ground, and
they will get much of the plant food
they need from the air. Peas are besides
better grain to seed with clover than
is the oat, the peas of course being sown
broadcast and covering the whole sur.
face Of the ground.

An Outdoor wash.

The following points in making good
lime wash for barns and fences are given
by The Country Gentleman: The addi-
ton of sulphate Of lime and common
salt to the ordinary whitewash say one
fourth pound each to a peck of lime
will make it very durable. A durable
light brown wash can be made with
fresh water lime, a little sulphate of zinc
and as much clean sand as the water
will hold while being applied with a
brush. The whitewash can be colored
cream, fawn, gray, ETC., by the addition
of some yellow ocher, lumber, indian red
and lampblaek.
