AS in other cases and other places the
failures Of so many banks at Louisville
are due to special causes which had
weakened the assets Of the banks and
put them in receptive condition for q

money on warehouse receipts for
whisksy which proved, on investigation
to be bogus receipts OF bold forgerief
while all Of them have banking toe

THE apparently successful attempt to
rurify the Croton water for New York
by an electroly ling process makes the
expense incurred here for filter I'M
necessary II the process Of electro
saline purifying should prove as success
full in practice as it has proved in ex.
pertinent, then II will be the cheapest
and the most effective process Of puri
fication known. For the purpose Of
affecting the water supply Of
New York there are two plants
of machinery and apparatus.
Each plant will have a 25.horse-
power boiler, 15horse-power steam
engine, 5horse.po dynamo, an
electrolyzing tank of 1000 gallons
capacity, and 9.OOO-gallon storage
tank. To the water In these tanks is
added a solution of chloride Of sodium,
bromide of sodium, sulphste of pot
assium, sulphate Of lime, sulphate Of
magnesia Common sea water will
answer the same purpose. The passage
OF an electric current through this
water changes the chlorides to hypoch
lorites and the bromides into hypo-
bromides The contact of hypoch-
lorite of sodium with any organic mat
ter causes instant decomposition. This
process will not make the water abso
lutely pure, no process can ever be
expected to be found, applicable in
practice. that will accomplish chemica
purity. but it will remove all discolora

CONTINUOUS MIXERS.
Habit in Cows That Needs Judicious
Ieyclopment.

A Habit in Cows That Needs Juciicious
Development.
The continuous milking habit in
COWS should be developed as far as pos
sibls. 1t is not a source of disease and
impoverished condition of the young,
as many suppose-such instances are
moro often the result of improper sup
ply of the cow with foods that lily sus-
tain all parts of the system. If the
COW is we'll fed, not starved to reduced
condition, as is often the case the few
weeks preceding calving, there is no
possible danger of milking COW up to
within a fcW weeks, even days, of her
full time. 1t requires more food at this
period to sustain the COW and embryo,
but if the milking period can be
prolonged for sixty or ninety days be-
yond the usual milking period of aver
age cows, the returns will amply JUS
tify this outlay. That COW nee DIS six
weeks of rest before calving may be
desira bic. as the ''freshening'' may be
a great aid in bringing out udder de-
velopment While we may object,
with some force, that continuous milk
ing in some cases be injurious, yet it is
only by having cows that have a long
and profitable milking period that we
can expect to extend as we would wish
the milking periods of the cows to be
born in the near future, for we must
rely upon heredity quite as much as
feed and handling to fully succeed

Limo In tho Orchard.

Limo is an indispensable plant food
for an orchard, for the reason that tho
trees contain more lime than any other
mineral matter taken from the soil. II
is this use of limo that renders a lime
stone soil SO excellent for fruit trees.
The lime may be applied on the grass
if the orchard is thus covered, and gyp-
sum may be used instead of limo If de-
sired, SO far as its immediate effects
are concerned. But lime has much
more effect on tho land chemically,
and indirectly by its results on the
organic matter of tho soil, ~ we'll as
on the mineral matter, and thus the
actual lime is better than the sulphate.
Ten bushels per aero, given ut inter-
walls of four or 6ve years, have been
found better than = larger application
at longer intervals. Two dollars and
twenty-five cents is an excessive price
for lime, and more than it should cost
for land use; 1t would be cheaper to
buy wood ashes at twenty-five cents .

best. The cultivation is simple. The
blossoms when fertiiized turn down,
pierce tho ground where the pods
form and ripen. The soil should be
rich, sandy and plowed not more than
three inches deep.
The following is the mode of cultiva-
ton and harvesting.
When all danger OF frost is over, the
soil Is bcdded up aud prepared. as for
tobacco. leaving only slight furrow-
mark between the rows. In the center
of each of these beds, in q straight
line. plant two seeds. at distances of
eighteen inches; also have reserve
plants. to fill the places of those that
may be destroyed by cut-worms, etc.
The cultivation is simply to keep
down the weeds, preserving the shape
of the beds until near the time of
blossoming. A narrow cultivator is
then run through the rows. followed
by horse team to earth up the plants.
The earth is afterwards leveled to
are to form. If weeds or grass there
after appear they must be pulled by
hand.
The crop is not harvested until the
vines arc touched by frost, for the
longer the vines grow the greater the
number of sound pods, except in the
farther south, where the vines ripen
fully. Hands follow the rows and
loosen tho nuts with pronged hoes or
fat-tined forks. They are followed by
others, who pull the vines. shake the
earth from them and leave the m turned
to tho sun to dry. In dry weather
they will be sufficiently cured for
shocking. The shocking is done
somewhat after the manner employed
for beans; or they may be finally cured
as beans sometimes are on scaHolds

The pertinacity and force of plants

1t IL Said to Stand Twenty Miles from

The worship of idols is, of course, to
great degree symbolic. That is, the
worshiper has in mind the spirit or
force which the wooden or stone image
is supposed to represent. The most
ignorant idolatcrs, however, worship
the image itself. Idols still figure in
the religion of the Japanese, most of
whom arc Buddhists, and the largest
idol in the world stands twenty miles
from Yokohama, near the village of
Kamakura- It stands on a terrace near
q temple, and the approach is SO ar
ranged that the gigantic image is very
impressive. 1t was erected during the
reign of Shomu, who was forty-sixth in
the present line of emperors, who died
