The latter are in the shape of a silk

iron barb is concealed beneath this

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.
How Mrs. COston Got Her Signals
Adopted bY the American Navy.

How Mrs. Coston Got Her Signals
Adopted by the American Navy.
One of Washington's remarkable
women is Mrs. Martha j. Coston, now
advanced in years but brilliant in
mind as ever, and able to look back
upon life full of achievements.
Mrs. Coston, says the Illustrated
American, is the woman who, almost
single-handed and in the face of tre-
mendous difficulties, brought the
Coston signals to their present per-
lection. Left widow at the age of
81 with three children and no "a
sources, she set out bravely to devel-
op an idea which she found indicated
among her husbands papers. This idea
was to furnish color signals at night
for ships in the same way as colored
flags were used by day. The trou-
bic was to find the chemicals which
would produce the necessary colors,
red, white and green, in sufficient in
tensity. Mrs. Coston worked on this
problem for many months, and after
a series of failures finally succeeded,
and the Coston signals were adopted
by the American navy and used dur
ing the late war. What they did
during the war is known to every
naval officer, although scant justice
has been rendered to the plucky wo-
man who furnished them Admiral
Porter Tux Fort Fisher by the aid
of the Coston signals, starting the
battle at night, as he was able to do
by this means. His success broke
the back of the war. 1t was the Cos
ton signals which saved twenty seven
lives of men on board the famous
Monitor lost off Cape Hatteras.

Watering Cows.

A year ago last winter the cows of
John Gould seemed inclined to drink
at least twice per day, usually drink
ing about six gallons each at 4 o. M.
in addition to their morning draught.
Last winter the same COWS, on SUBJ
stantially the same ration, save that
more clover hay is being fed with the
silage, refuse to drink at night, only
now and then COW drinking one
pailful. At the Minnesota dairy
school barn he found the same thing
to exist, and, as in his own barn, the
COWS consumed as much water at
once last winter as the previous win
ter at twice. He has COWS that will
drink over 100 pounds of water at
one time. One COW at the Ohio sta
ton drinks 140 pounds at one time.
What may seem strange is that these
cows did as we'll at the pail in milk
as q year ago last winter. There
must be one word of caution. He says
these COWS did not drink ice water
from the brook or pond, but water
about tfty-five degrees and given in
the stable. 10 send a COW from
warm stable to the brook to drink
water at thirty-six degrees, would be
quite another thing, and to warm 100
pounds of ice water would require
the burning of enough food to supply
animal heat to make a third of
pound of butter fats, as the animal
uses fat for fuel The COW may only
drink once per day, but do not try to
allay any imaginary fever by giving
her ice water.-Farmers' Voice.
Barbed Wire for Bad Hogs.
1 have an old SOW. She is of an
inquiring turn of mind and continu-
ally dissatisfied with her lot, although
green pastures, pure waters and
abundant shade abound. Hoping to
avoid the repetition of last summers
experience with her, we this spring
went around the hog lot with course
of barbed wire, putting it at such
height from the ground, usually be-
tween the first and second rails, as
we thought would best answer the
purpose. Link wire was used, fear
ing the other might be too severe.
She now abides therein. The only
evidence l have of her ever having
been near the fence was seeing fresh
mud, once or twice, on wire during
the first week of her pasturage; even
that has now disappeared. AS to the
man who invented barbed wire the
women of our house rise up and call
him blessed. -COlman's Rural World
