4 New cbiorinnfion Process.

A description of new process OF chlor-

OF Brisbane, Australia, is thus gwen by
Industries and Iron:

with lead, through which passed axially
u perforated tube lined with abes,os.
Attached to this barrel was placed a
smaller one, also lined with lead, and
fitted with u steam jacket IN such n man.
ner that both barrels could be rotated by
the same gearing at the rate Of aoout five
revolutions per minute. The damp ore
is placed in the large barrel, and u charge
OF manganese dioxide, salt and snlphuric
acid in the smaller one before commen-
cling operations. In this way the ore AZ
it is rotated in the larger barrel is satur-
ated with chlorine as it issues from the
central tube, and when the evolution Of
gas becomes slow the steam is turned on |
TO The ,cket, aud thus ensures the com.
plete decomposition Of the salt. Valves
in the barrels are opened at starting, SO

and guarantee strong chlorine gas act

The Coolest Kind of q Climate.
He was from Michigan, and he was

One day he talked his favorite theme

When land intended to be planted to
corn has been plowed in the fall or
winter one of the best ways Of pre-
pairing for corn is to go over it carefully
with the disk harrow, cutting it rea-
sonably deep and then working it into
good filth with the smoothing harrow.
If the blowing has been done well
much time can be saved in the spring
and the planting be done in much bet
ter season.
Generally it is important to get the
corn planted as soon as the condi-
ton of the sod will admit. There is no
advantage in planting when the soil is
cold and wet, while every advantage
is to be gained by planting as early as
the soil is sufficiently dried out to work
into coed filth and warmed up so as to
induce a quick germinat ton of the seed.
While it is often the case that good
seed corn will remain in the ground for
some time and yet germina tie, yet there
is more or less loss Of vitality and the
plants will not be as vigorous Or
thrifty as if conditions had been more
favorable. so that q quicker germina-
ton could be secured. Under what
may be considered favorable condi-
tons corn planted in a warm, thor
oughly prepared soil will terminate and
the plant will show above ground in
side Of five or six days after planting.
In order to secure a good growth and
yield it is essential to have good seed
and then to plant in good soil thor
oughly prepared. Thorough prepara-
ton of the soil before planting not only
insures a quicker and better germina-
ton Of the seed, but aids materially
in lessening the cultivation necessary
with this crop. The longer farm the
more thoroughly am satisfied that it
pays to plow deep and thorough wher-
ever the character Of the soil will ad-
nit, blowing only when necessary and
then using the disk harrow Or some
implement of this class to prepare the
soil for the seed, taking care to work
with cultivated crop only, stirring the
surface frequently and keeping as fine
as possible, and the more thorough
the preparation before planting and the
better and more seasonably the cult
walton the better the growth and yield.
The thorough preparation before plant
ing applies to all crops while of course
cultivation applies to only part. AS
we cannot control prices We must les
sen the cost Of production as much as
possible, and the thorough preparation
is one Of the essentials necessary in Sc
curing this, at the same time keeping
economy Of labor in view.
For this reason, when the character
Of the soil will admit, all of the plow.
ing possible should be done in advance
so that at the proper time the work
Of preparation and planting can be
pushed along as rapidly as possible.

A Mistake.

One Of the frequent mistakes of the
season is the too early turning of the
COWS upon the pastures, where should
be obsolete system of feeding is still
kept up. The first growth is too succu-
lent to be healthful and too small to
give full feed, and it lessons the ap-
tite for dry food. Two weeks delay
will make a difference of fully so Der
cent in the effect Of the feeding through
the summer. It will afford time for a
vigorous root growth, without which
the heritage will not be able to recover
the injury by the too early spring pas
turing, and thus the growth will be les
sened permanently. 1t will be much
better to delay the feeding and spend
the time in encouraging tne growth of
the grass by an application of 100
pounds per acre Of nitrate Of soda with
the same quantity Of gypsum. This
will show it's excellent results all the
summer and keep tie heritage green
and luxuriant, so as to carry a larger
number of COWS than it would other
wise do. Pasturing is costly business
anyhow, but still more so if the mis-
take is made Of feeding it down before
1t has made much growth.

the rate of three grains per foot in the
rows, and We're thinned to practically

The thinning was done July T., just

ranged from one to two feet high.
The plats which Were thinned yielded
696 pounds of ear corn, while those
which were not thinned yielded S12
pounds, a decrease of II per cent due
to the thinning. This was an excep-
tionally dry season. The thinning prob
ably caused more injury than would

Does 1T Pay to Thin Corn.

1t has been urged by some that it
Is best to plant many more kernels than
are wanted for stand, then thinning
the corn when of proper size-say six
to fourteen inches high-being careful
to remove the weaker stalks. In order
to compare the results Of this method
with that of planting only so many
kernels as will give the desired number
of stalks per acre without thinning.
the university conducted the following
experiment.: Four-6iths of an acre of
land from which the soil had been re-
moved some years previous for making
brick, was measured and divided into
four equal parts. A strip of uniform
width across the plats was laid out.
giving an equal amount in each plat.
Melilotus, or sweet clover was grown
on the land, the four seasons of 1888
to 1891 inclusive. The melilotus was
not cut, but was allowed to 20 down
each year and reseed the land. A crop
OF wheat was cut from this ground in
1882: Aside from any effect which the
melilotus may have had, the land was
practically uniform in quality and CON
dition. The plats were planted at the
