Pbotographing Films.

An interested suggestion has been
made in photographing processes,
namely, that the sensitive films might
be so associated with transparent solu-
BILE films containing developing mate
rial that while the primary action OF
the image-forming light would be alb
solutely unaffected, simple immersion
of the exposed plate in a.dish of pure
water, or other solvent, would suffice
to set up chemical interaction between
the materials constituting the associat-
ed films, and would result in the de-
velopment of the image. Thus, for ex-
ample, it is thought that the sensitive
surface of an ordinary plate might re-
ceivc preliminary coating of gum
or other transparent and soluble var
nish, over this to be laid clear, solu-
BILE film, containing matter capable of
affecting development; when dried,
this film or developer might be itself
gummed over, and then coated with a
further soluble layer, con. aiming such
other chemical constituents as might
be desirable to have present, but.
pending the occasion for develop
ment sufficiently isolated to avoid tho
possibility OF chemical reactions.

superiority for this purpose to the So

fact that the latter produces yellow or

Raising Geese for Market.

We never bred any variety Of geese
except the Toulouse and we never got
an opportunity to sell any of them in
the market as they were in great de-
mand for breeding purposes at prices
that were much above the market,
but we are convinced that they are
very profitable where one has low or
marshy land for them to run over as
they live largely on grass and will re-
quire but little feeding until brought
up to fatten for market. Mr.. William
Rankin is one Of the most successful
breeders of ducks and geese in Amer
lea and in contemporary we find his
method given and make the follow
ing abstract: There are only three
varieties of geese that may be con-
sidered, the African, Toulouse and
Embden. The two varieties of China,
brown and white are quite hardy but
they are too small and do not make
enough weight for the early market.
The most perfect geese are the pure
bred Africans as they mature early,
nearly all the eggs hatch and the
young are easily raised to maturity.
The Toulouse though ono Of the
largest breed is not quite hardy in
the north. They are fully as good
layers as the Africans but will not
take ON flesh quite SO fast when
shut up to fatten for the market.
The Embden being pure white makes
the best appearance when packed,
but is not prolific layer. A cross
Of the African and Embden has proved
profitable and the cross has been i'm
proved by breeding the cross bred
females to pure African gander. In
winter they are fed cut rowen, hay
or ensilage, with little middlings or
corn, care being taken not to get
them too fat as if they are forced
with feed they will begin to lay too
early and their eggs will not be fer
tile. About February they begin to
mate. II the gander has chosen his
own mates it is well to let him keep
them, if not shut him up with three
geese and generally he will get along
with them all right in few days.
If they continue to quarrel take tho
disaffected goose out and put her with
another gander. Usually but one or
two trials will be necessary to make
up harmonious atings.-Farmers'

An Engineering Triumph.

Successful methods in securing suit
able foundations for sea walls are
among the most important of modern
engineering triumphs, and one of the
latest of these is what has come to be
known as the Shield system, originated
abroad, and of special adoption where
the bottom is of irregular rocky SUR
face Careful longitudinal sections
are taken along the lines of the inner
and outer faces of the foundations, and
planks cut and nailed to timbers in
such manner that one edge of the
finished frame conforms exactly with
the rocky bottom; these frames are
weighted and sunk into place, where
they are fastened by long bolts wedged
into the rock in such manner that n
mould for about twenty feet of the
bottom of the wall is thus formed.
The tops of the frames are
by means of a spirit level, and the
space between is filled with concrete;
where large mass of the latter is
used, it is composed of four to four and
one-half parts of sand and gravel to
one of Portland cement, the top being
finished off with concrete composed of
one and a half to two parts of sand
and gravel to one of cement. The ma
terial is lowered in a canvas bag hold
ing about two and one-fourth cubic
feet, and so arranged that the bottom
can be easily opened when it touches
the spot where the concrete is to be
laid. The material as it leaves the
bags is simply pressed down by the fat
hand to the required level, and then
gently struck off by a straight edge
resting at each end on the frames. In
this way a perfect surface is formed
five or six feet below low water, be-
coming hard enough in three days to
receive the blocks of the wall.

Water for DyeInr.

The following simple process Is said
to prove peculiarly suitable for de-
termining the adoption of water for
dyeing purposes. A standard color
solution is made by digesting distilled
water for twenty-four hours upon a
large excess of ground logwood in a
stoppered bottle; the clear liquid is
carefully poured off at the end of this
time and preserved for use in stop
pered bottle. If it is desired to ex-
anime number of samples of water, a
set of clear, white phials are employed.
holding about five ounces each. In one
of these are put four ounces of dis
titled water and one hundred grain
measures of the logwood liquor;
then four ounces of each sample are
put in one of the other bottles, 100
grain measures of the logwood liquor
being added to each, and the colors
compared. The phial with the distilled
water will be of q clear, reddish amber
color; the others will depart more or
less from this standard, according to
the nature and the quantity of their
impurities-as, if soluble chloride,
muriate, is present the color produced
will be yellower than in case of dis
titled water. Sulphate of lime and
alkaline sulphates, if present, give a
yellowish olive tint; alkalies, whether
caustic or carbonate, produce brown
ish red; alum, sulphate of alumina,
ETC., q kind of plain color; free acids
yield cherry red; while the salts of
iron and the chromates give a brown

A Useful Inyentinn.

A recent Rhode Island invention is
described two-shuttle smash pre-
venter. the mechanism being applied
to the breast beam and lay or swinging
frame of the loom. Itappears that, by
this contrivancc, when the lay comes
up to the cloth the shuttle box is
changed, SO that if the right motion is
not given the belt is thrown off, and
the lay prevented from turning over,
and stopped just before the picker stick
strikes, thus keeping the shuttle in the
boxes and preventing any smash in the
warp. The loom cannot be again
started until one of the shut
ties is taken out from the box
on either side; the empty box
operates so as to prevent the me-
chanism connected with the ma
chinery from stopping the loom! The
desideratum is secured by means OF n
rod placed under the breast BEAM
and fastened to the same, to this rod
being attached strong hook, which
acts with similar reversed hook at
tached to the lay, so that, when the
latter comes up to the cloth In the
process of weaving, these hooks slide
up on each other and become locked.
But the locking of the hooks occurs
only when there is shuttle in each
box, and the movement of the picker
stick at this particular instant would
cause collision and smash. When
the hooks lock the belt Is thown off by
a finger connected with the handle
rod, and the loom is thus stopped.

Improving the Farm.

Several who looked at tho place ad-
mired the buildings, conveniences and
broad, smooth fields, but made no
offer. At last an elderly man after
going over the place three different
times, said to the owners: "Boys,
the farm is fertile, it lies right, is on
a good road and near enough to mar

buildings suit me, but" and there

wins), and the young men went ''to
work for a year or two to make
the place salcable." The trees grew
apace, and so did tho youths. At the
end of two years the farm was so
different in appearance and so full Of
interest that they hardly thought of
leaving it. The younger boy had
learned about the habits and charac-

Poultry should always have access

Ducks will rarely crowd together

A handful of sunhower seeds to a
dozen hens can usually be given with
benefit.
The best plan in feeding ducks is
to put water where they can help
themselves.
A warm, comfortable house goes a
long way towards insuring good

Ducks are very irregular in their
feeding, sometimes eating twice as
much at one time as another.
In dealing in fancy poultry more
than any other stock values are COM
parative rather than positive.
Plunging into hot water immedi-
ately after picking win often make
the dressed fowls look more plump.
Profit with the poultry comes not
only from the eggs and carcass Of the
fowls but also from the manure and
the feathers.
There is only one way of keeping q
large number of fowls profitably and
that is to separate into smaller focks
and keep them so.
Toulouse geese are the largest do
