SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

A rifle ball DETECTED from its course
Immediately resumes its line OF Hight
after trimming the object it is unable
to pass directly through.
A scientist who has been listening to
the voice of the house fly through the
microphone says it sounds very much
like the neighing of q horse. =
The greatest depth of tho Atlantic
is supposed to be about 100miles from
the island of st. Thomas, West Indies.
where the '1ead" goes down for 1876
fathoms.
Iron works at Troy, N. Y. have
made for a Havana, Cuba, sugar mill
an iron valve weighing $500 pounds.
The firm claims it to be the largest
valve ever constructed.
The humming of telegraph wires is
not caused by wind, for it is heard
during dead Gains. Changes OF tenn
perature, which tighten or loosen the
wires, probably produce the sound.
P. Silvert, of Dohlen, Saxony, pro-
poses the manufacture of glass pipes
by rolling down molten glass in
grooves or flutes, and using core to
complete the formation of the pipe or
tube. t2
The venom of poisonous reptiles,
insects, ETC., kills by changing the
shape of the blood corpuscles SO as to
make it impossible for them to circu-
late. This, of course, causes blood
poisoning.
The largest magnet in the world is
at Willett's Point, L. I. It is made
of two condemned Dahlgren guns,
each of 15-inch caliber, wound with
eight miles of heavy cable and charged
with electricity.
A coast gun built by Krupp when
being tested at the Meppa proving
grounds recently, threw the projec-
tile 65,616 feet, or nearly thirteen
miles, the gun having an elevation of
"a degrees. The projectife weighed
474 pounds, the charge Of powder 253
pounds, giving an initial velocity Of
| 2,O99 feet. It is estimated the pro-
| jectile reached an altitude of FL. 466
feet, and it's fight occupied 70.2
seconds. ~
Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance Of the
atmosphere and sagacity In overcom-
ing it. When Aocks Of them have to
go long distances they form triangle
to cleave the air more easily and the
most courageous bird takes position
at the forward angle. As this Is q
very fatiguing post another bird ere
long takes the place of the exhausted
leader. Thus they place their avail
able strength at the service of the
party. 8fe ia

FARM AND GARDEN.
CHANGE OF SEED.

Bulletin No. Is of the Missouri sta
ton is devoted to report on the va
rieties of wheat and oats and to the
differences in those grains and in po-
tatoes resulting from change of seed.
ltappears that oats and potatoes re-
spond more readily to changed con-
ditions, and under unfayorable con-
dltlons deteriorate more rapidly than
does wheat. This does not follow
from the facts given, yet it is borne
out by experience and other expert
mental data.
The results show the danger of an
indiscriminate change of seed, and
also show the influence the vigor of
the seed may exert upon the crop.

yet. The farmer who either does not
or cannot give any attention to his
business must fail. But he can take
his choice of the work he will do. 1t
he be O really good farmer he will
not do anything himself that an en-
ploye can do as well or better.
In such a job as undertaking, for
example, the work of throwing out
the dirt requires mainly muscle, which
can be hired cheaper than most farm
ers can do it themselves. But level
ling the bottom, fitting the joints and
securing an even fall are points that
require skill and thought. 1t is on
these that the whole value of the drain
depends. It requires skilled labor to
do this kind of work, and though not
SO severe on the muscles as digging
the ditch it is more apt to be dirty
and disagreeable. It often also re-
quires nearly as much time to bring
the bottom of the drain to an even
fall as it does to throw out the dirt
down to the bottom. With each in
crease of depth the difficulty of work
ing also increases.
So, though the farmer chooses what
seems to be the easiest labor, he is
pretty sure to be as tired at night as is
the hardest hand worker in his en-
ploy. It is the same, too, with other
labor on the farm. The direction and
care needed to keep employees at
work, to market the crops and to pur-
chase what is needed to keep work
going is quite as hard labor as any
that the hired man does. 1t is, how
ever, labor that has great variety,
and therefore does not exhaust as does
the labor which employs only the
muscles. = American Cultivator.

He looked into her eyes as

strained her to him in a raptuous en-
brace.

"No," she answered. ''Let me be

It seemed hours to Robert Ellison
before he heard her light step and she
again stood before him. .tt
"What does your father say?" he
began, anxiously. ''That I'm a
scoundrel-a-"
'Hush!" she interrupted, placing
her hand playfully over his mouth.
"Don't ever let me hear that name ap-
piled to you again"

mischievous light in her beautiful
eyes. ..t-

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

FARM AMI OhhDLfN 4NOAi1's
The full-grown goose should average
pound of feathers during the season.
Dry leaves for the hens to scratch
in will afford them the necessary exer-
else.
The compact and early maturing
breeds are said to pay the best of
any.
If hens are fed on nothing but corn
and wheat they will cease laying after
time.
Procure new blood every year if you
would prevent your flock "running
down"
A cockerel mated to large hens
usually gives large and vigorous
chickens.
Ducks should commence laying the
last of January or the beginning OF
February.
The Brahma, being unable to fly, is
one of the best breeds for yards and
low fences.
Winter eggs are profitable, and it
will pay to obtain them by proper care
and feeding.
II stands to reason that the cheaper
fat is added to the hog the more will
be the profit.
A dull sunken eye shows defective
nutritive power and lack of constitu-
ton and vigor.
Chickens fatten faster on cooked
than on raw food because it is more
readily digested.
Thumps are often caused by feeding
the brood SOW too much whole corn
while carrying litter of sucklings.
Among ducks the Pekin is the larg-
est, the Rouen the most beautiful,
and the Aylesbury the most pro-
life.
If cut grass is given to the chicks ID
should be moist, as dry grass will
pack in the crop and cause serious
trouble.
When the hens are through moultine
their food must be diminished to a
LAYING ration, or over-fat hens and no
eggs will result.
If few dry COWS or heifers are kept
in the field with sheep and dogs, the
dogs will seldom molest them after the
sheep learn to recognize their big
companions value as protectors.
Do not stand heated horse in q
draught, and if very warm, rub
him briskly all over with a coarse
towel or wisp of straw and cover
him with light blanket, which will
absorb perspiration and prevent
chilling of the surface.
The reason why a much larger pro-
portion of the get of our most famous
stations now prove to be trotters than
in the days of Hambletonian is because
the mares which are bred to them are
SO much better bred than formerly,
while they are quite as good as indi-
viduals

Many agricultural writer's are dis

needed to be done on every farm.
