those Mado OF Charcoal or SOFT Tricks
Arc the Cheapest.
To make n charcoal cistern filter
build partition wall across the els
tern, dividing 1t into two compart-
ments, one occupying two-thirds OF the
entire space and the other the remain
ing third, and leave number OF holes
near the bottom Of this wall about four
inches square. Then plaster the wall
on both sides with not less than two
coats of cement mortar. Fill tho
smallest side of the partition wall
with charcoal then in the other side
place about two feet in depth of coarse
sand. Let the water run in on the
charcoal. 1t will pass down through
this under the partition wall and up
through the sand. 1t will then be very
pure. For brick filter, build a wall
across the center of soft brick, cement
cd at the connections. Run the water
in on one side and pump out from the
other. Or build square chimney-like
fiue for the pump to stand in. The
water percolates through the soft
bricks, which take out impurities.
Where the cross partition is used
make it little concave, say sixteen
inches in six feet. The convex side OF
this wall must be toward the side
which receives the water and the con-
cave toward the pump side, This gives
it strength against sudden showers.
The end of the partition wall must be
strongly worked into the side walls
and the whole carried up so high that
the water will never overflow it.
II is an excellent plan to have water
as it comes from the roof go through a
screen before reaching the cistcrn.
Make box and place at the mouth Of
the cistern, covering the bottom with
wire gauze. Have lid which will
easily permit cleaning the cistern.
Also arrange the conductor so as to
prevent the first water from the roof
going into the cistern, more especially
after a long dry spelL-Orange Judd

manures are needed, Its application TO
stiff clay soils or 10 clear sands may
have the most happy effects There
are clay lands that no amount Of
narrowing and rolling will get In
best mechanical order. They are
destitute of humus, and no matter how
you treat them, they are and remain
lumpy. The Jumps may contain plenty
OF potash and phosphoric acid. yet the
soil is unproductive, because the plant
food is locked up in the Jumps and en-
tirely out Of reach of the plants.
Add good quantity of muck with its
carbon, and mix lit thoroughly with the
clay. All at once the soil will pulver-
lie nicely, become as mellow as an ash
heap and produce good crops
The plant-food, heretofore bound up
tightly in the great Jumps, has become
available and good crops are grown.
Don't imagine, however, that the effect
is due to the "plant-foods" which you
have added by adding muck. The muck
has simply improved the mechanical
condition Of the clay soil. Clear sands
can also be improved in texture, as we'll
sin theircapacity for holding moisture,
by addition of muck or mold. But as
the average muck contains considera-
bly, amount of nitrogen, we can use it
directly as manure, where nitrogen
is needed, provided we find means to
make this nitrogen available for plant
use or can wait until it will thus be-
come available naturally in the course
of time. Some samples of muck would
have fertilizing value of nine dollars
per ton for their nitrogen alone, If all
of it were available
Owners of muck beds miss a good
chance if they refuse to get out lot of
muck and let it become dry. 1t is an
admirable absorbent in stables and
henhouses, and when used as bedding
becomes rich and effective manure,
good for any crop which the gardener
grows, and for any kind of soil. Now,
while the swamps are dry, is a good
time for hauling muck. and in fall,
when men and teams are not crowded
with work, good time to ditch the
swamps. There are as yet thousands
of acres of such land, partially or
wholly under water, which, with
comparatively inconsidera BILE outlay in
money and labor, might be made to
blossom like the rose" and bring
forth crops worth hundreds of dollars
year to the gardener.-T Prairie

A Matter Of Health.

Housekeepers family realize the
danger Of m indiscriminate use Of the
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per-
sistency by peddlers and many grocers
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inflame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges-
ton, heartburn, diarrheal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders
Most housekeepers are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh How much more acute must be
tLoir action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use Of their
powders so made, by all kinds of allur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sensations All the low-priced or So
called cheap baking powders, and all
powders sold with gift or prize, be-
long to this class.
Baking powders made from chemical
ly pure cream of tartar and bi-carbon-
ate of soda are among the most useful
of modern culinary devices. They not
only make the preparation of finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the digestibility
and wholesomeness of our food. But
baking powders must be composed of
such pure and wholesome ingredients
or they must be tabooed entirely.
DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the Doc
tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad,
vantages of good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers of
bad ones in which the harsh and caus-
tic chemicals are used, are to be Sc
cured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to oil consumers. 1.-THE
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream of tartar and soda refined to a
chemical purity, which when combined
under the influence of heat and mois-
ture produce pure carbonic, or leaven-
ing, gas. The two materials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in ex-
act compensating weights, so that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically dis
appear, the substance of both having
been taken to form carbonic acid gas"
Hence it is, he says, that the Royal
Baking Powder is the most perfect of
all conceivable agents for leavening
