The Maine hay crop is nearly harvest

The shipment of wheat to Europe may
not be larger than usual this year, but
that of hay, corn, and oats is likely to be
greatly increased which will help turn
the balance of trade in our favor and
have Il tendency to cause importation of
the gold that left our country in such
quantities within the year past.

The high price of hay, however will
have tendency to cause our farmers to
keep less stock, in order to have more hay
to sell, and thus the advantage in one
way may become a detrimeut in another.
The Somerset reporter., 1893-07-27

Sometimes farmers think they have
commenced cutting grass too early, and
some of the grass cut the first week in
July did appear to be decidedly green
this year, but the exceeding drouth has
dried and ripened grass so rapidly that
some fields now standing look as fields
usually do Il month later in the season.
One cannot commence haying much too
early after he properly celebrates the
18th of July, unless he has Il crew suili-
cient to do his having in Il week.

The rapidity with which our farmers
can secure the hay crop now, will i'm
proved machinery, is in very agreeable
contrast with that we recall some thirty
or thirty-tivc years ago when the hand
scythe, and hand rake We're used almost
wholly. Then the men must get into
the field at sunrise and half the day was
used in moving down grass by very
tiresome process. So exhaustive to physi-
cal energies. Now horses do this work
to the great relief of the human animal.

water Depths.

Mr.. Frederick j. smith Of Trinity
college. Oxford, explains a curious way
of finding the depth of piece OF water
at a distance.
About two wears ago ( wished 10
know from time 10 time the rate nj
which the river was rising after RAJ
of rain. The river was considerable
distance from the spot where its heIghl
was 10 be known. BY means OF the
com 5ination Of two organ pipes and "a
telephone circuit described in the
following lines, ! have been able TO
make the required measurement with
in rather close limits. At the river
station an organ pipe was fixed YER
tically in an inverted position, so that
the water In the river acted as a stop
per 10 the pipe and the rise or fall OF
the water determined the note it gave
when blown by a small bellows driven
by a small water-wheel.
A microphOne was attached 10 the
upper end of the organ pipe; this was
in circuit with a wire leading TO a town
station at some distance; at the town
station there was au exactly similar
organ pipe, which could be lowered
into a vessel filled with water while 1t
was sounding. BY means Of the tele-
phone tho note given by the pipe at
the river was clearly at the town sta
ton; then the organ pipe at this station
was lowered or raised by hand until ii
gave the same note, The lengths OF
the organ pipes under water at the two
stations were then equal, so that the
height Of the water in the distant river
was known.
The determination can be made in
less than minute by any one who can
recognize the agreement Of two similar
notes The arrangement when first
tested was so placed that the height OF
the water at two places near together
might be easily compared. | found
that lad with an average ear for
musical sounds was able to get the
two heights TO agree within an eighth
Of an inch Of each other while a per
son with an educated ear adjusted the
instrument Immediately to almost cx.
act agreement. The total height TO
be measured was II inches. A differ
cncc Of temperature at the two stations
would make a small difference ia tho
observed heights. For instance, take
q note caused by 25D vibrations per
second a difference Of 10 degrees q.
between the temperature Of the two
stations Coneu likely to occur) would
make a difference of about 0.U2 feet in
the height a quantity OF no moment
in such a class of measurements. The
organ pipes were OF square section and
made Of metal to resist the action OF
the water ~ Nature,

Milwaukee Telegraph: A Wis
consin publisher was arrested under
a United States law last week,
charged with having notified a party
who owed him, after having made
reasonable efforts to collect the sum,
that unless the bill was paid at a
certain time a green-coated collector
would be sent to get the publishers
due. 1t is said, though the case has
not been tried, that the publisher
violated the laws of the United
States in sending such notification.
Let Us suppose that he has. Then
let us look at the ridiculous position
Of a state or a city allowing such an
organization as the green-coated col
Letting company to have an exist
ence within its borders. If il Is a
violation of a National law for a
publisher or business man to notify
debtor that at certain time he
will send his bill by a green-coated
collector, it would seem as though
it ought to be against the law for a
collecting company to uniform lit
collectors in green coats.

Of "Erom the Andes to Para"
The porter carries it on his shoulder
fastened with leather straps. He never
detaches himself from his jar either TO
fill it or to transfer its contents to that
of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain 50
that the jar comes under one Of the
Jets of water, listens to the sound Of
the water in the JAZZ and his ear is 50
well trained that he always walks

Senator sherman, than whom
there is no higher authority upon

situation as being too grave and the
questions involved too weighty to
warrant careless discussion, and he
thinks it would be indicate in him
to either criticize the administration
or to offer any suggestions or advice

Senator also said: 81 do not know
Mr.. Carlisle's intentions; have no

Democracy is in control, and must
be left to deal with these matters in
it's own way" Whether it be true
or not, AS reported early last week,
that there is serious difference Of
opinion between Mr. Cleveland and
Secretary Carlisle about the issuing
of bonds, it is certain that Mr. Car,
Isle is as much ayerse to issuing
bonds as Gen. Harrison was under

will not do so until he regards 1t as

sorts of stories are current about the
Intentions of Secretary Carlisle, in
order to keep the gold in the treas
ury, but none of them have any very
sohd foundation. In fact, there is
good reason for the belief that he
has not himself reached a final con.
