New Electric Caustic Soda Process.
A new process for the manufacture
Of caustic soda and bleaching powder
promises to give long desired results.
Hitherto caustic soda and bleaching
powder have been produced by an old
process, which has from time to time
been improved. By this process caus-
tic soda could not be produced for
much less than $50 per ton, or bleach
ing powder for less than $27 per ton.
The new method is said to reduce the
cost of manufacturing caustic soda to
S21, and bleaching powder to about
SIS. There is, however, a further econ
omy. The ordinary quality Of caustic
soda corresponds to what is techni-
cally known as 70 per cent Liverpool
test, whereas the soda produced by the
new process answers to 1875 per cent
Liverpool test. The new system is
based on the employment Of a moving
body Of mercury, the amalgam of
which is decomposed electrically as
soon as it is formed. The cells en-
ployed are, it is stated, only one-tifth
Of the size used in any other process,
actual or proposed. A strong point in
the new method is that it requires
very little labor, being almost entirely
automatic

Air PrOpellers for Steamships

To propel balloons and the various
forms of air-ships, so-ctllled, by some
kind Of screw propeller, much after the
manner followed in current steamship
practice has for a long time been one
of the aims of aeronautic enthusiasts.
To equip the ordinary ship. however,
in it's legitimate element with air-pro
pellers, or in other words, with prope!
lers revolving in the air instead of in
the water, and to effect propulsion
solely by their aid, is one of the latest
suggestions of the times. 1t has been
proposed to make these air propellers
similar in shape to the ordinary wa
ter screw, with sails or blades Of thin
sheet metal, and it is said to have
been found, xperimeutally that for
equal numbers of revolutions, equal in
tensity Of thrust, engine power and
speed, the area of the propeller should
be about twelve times that Of the
water screw. A big Atlantic liner,
Swimming over the sea with what
would look like string of mammoth
ehildren's pin-wheels Oh each side,
spinning around in the air, is the start
ling vision for which, apparently, we
are called upon to prepare ourselves.

AGRICUI TURE
STORING VEGETABLES.
Some Useful Information ON Storing
Vegetables for Winter,

Some Useful Information ON Storing
Vegetables for Winter.
eve often have queries as to the
best method of storing vegetables and
fruits during the winter, and they are
questions we delight to answer, as
they show a growing tendency for
healthful and delicious food at all
times of the year. Not only that, but
It is a move in the right direction from
an economical standpoint" says Amer
lean Gardening.
I'm order to preserve in practically
fresh state any vegetable or fruit the
conditions under which it was growns
must be duly considered. When the
objects have reached perfection all vi
tai action must be suspended, and the
specimens kept in dormant state I'M
til they are to be used. Let us take
for instance, the root crops, they are
grown underground, cool and moist;
these must not be exposed to the air
during winter, for their moisture and
juices soon evaDorate and their delic-
ious properties are lost. TO keep them
in dry sand, as is a, common custom
in some places, is nearly as bad as full
exposure, because the dry sand will
absorb their juices nearly as quickly
as would air by evaporation.
"Most farmers and gardeners are in
the habit Of putting away for winters
use such few vegetables as they find in
the garden upon the approach of frost;
but very few grow vegetables express
~ for storage, as they should do In
due time we shall urge the necessity Of
this, and show how it can be done prof
itably. This haphazard storage is done
by taking up in a careless manner, and
usually throwing into some vacant cor
ner Of the cellar, just whatever is ut
hand, and in this situation the fruits
or vegetables remain until used or
spoiled. The more considerable put them
in boxes or barrels, and cover them
with sand; this is good in intention,
and that is all that can be said for
the method, as it does not accomplish
the purpose intended. If the cellar be
dry and light, the vegetables will soon
dry up, and they will commence to
grow, as nature will exhaust every
effort in order to reproduce the species.
If the cellar be moist and warm, the
vegetables will make rapid growth
because the conditions are favorable
| On the other hand if the cellar be
moist and cool, the vegetables will in
variably mould and rot. Either Of
these conditions ruins the vegetable for
the table, but what is still worse, the
products of the decaying mass will fill
the house and possibly make the doc
tors visits necessity and under GER
tain conditions scarletina or diphtheria
may even be harbored. It is far better
not to have vegetables in winter, than
| to have them in the house under such
conditions

Corn Harvesting Machines.

There is nothing in the line Of farm
machinery that so quickly catches the
eager eye of the farmer as that which
proposes to lend hand in the harvest
ing of the corn crop, the great, all
round crop Of the United States. The
year 1895 has been distinguished for,
the appearance upon the field of action
in nearly every community in the corn
belt states of ma chimes adapted to tho
special work Of harvesting this great
cereal crop. We are told that one
manufacturing firm has sold this year
10000 Of these machines. The great
surprise in the whole matter is this:
That with so sudden putting in Of
appearance they have done their work
so satisfactorily. When good team,
hitched to one Of these machines, can
harvest row of corn as fast as it can
walk through the field, putting it into

Some orchardists think heavy mulching
retards the flow Of the sap and the

it is doubtful if any great gain is to
be had in this way, for, while the
roots are thus kept longer in frozen

ing the warmth and sunshine, and the
sap probably is not greatly retarded.
There is a way, however, that works
satisfactorily even in very cold regions.

4 The Littles in Dairyins.


If a factory that makes 1000 pounds
of cheese per day could by some con-
centrated plan of action among it's pat
rons and makers add about 1 cent a
pound to it's quality it would amount
to S. q day, or more than $3.50 for the
summer. No small amount in itself
toward paying the expenses of the
concern, and leave to the patrons just
SO much more with which to pay taxes,
pew rents and claw-hammer coats.
And yet this is the experience of fac
tories reported, who had demanded
that all milk to be delivered SHALL as
soon as MIXED, be aerated and cooled
before being sent. In one factory a
loss of cents a pound on all cheese
made by inferior quality and flavor
was recovered, and the cheese sold
after with the best, followed the rule
of every patron night and morning
aerating the milk and cooling to a GER
tain degree before placing on the fac
tory wagon. In quite number Of fac
tories this season where this rule is be-
Ing made mandatory, there has been
not only noticeable Improvement in
the quality Of the butter made, but an
increase in amount; /. e., the milk
creamed better and the churn did
more perfect work. There is place

Methods of Applying Manure.

There was time wren it was con
sidered a settled point that loss FROM
manure was through the air, that ma.
nures must not be exposed to the &C"
ton Of the air, and yet at the sam:
time manure would be drawn out il:
large piles and left to heat and fer
ment without any protection to prevene
any escape Of ammonia or its COM
pounds.
This is an inexcusable practice, bur:
this even does not result in as grea7
loss as occurs from the practice or
blowing manure deeply into the soil.
Moisture or water dissOlves and car"
res the elements Of fertility in the soI
and during those periods when moisture:
or water is soaking through or into thu
soil, fertility is carried downwards.
Drainage water carries fertility awaT
and although the process is slow it is
none the less sure, and if long cOntin'
ued will produce noticeable results.
The brook that passes through a field
is slowly robbing it Of it's fertility.
The rains that fall upon a field:
whether the field is level or slightly in.
clined, tends to enter the soil just az

it, unless the surface is very steeplJ
inclined, in which case the soil is lia~
| bic to be carried away.
These facts lead to the suggestion
Of a logical method Of manuring and
that is either to apply to the surface
or to a depth not to exceed two 0,
three inches. Surface manuring may
be practiced upon moving or meadow
lands and the second method for the
cultivation of crops.
Experiments at the New Hampshire
station show that in the cultivation

+; fodder 5000 pounds; where the manure
was applied in the fall the product
was 1910 pounds Of sound corn, 754
pounds Of soft corn and 6O66 pounds
I Of fodder. Where fertilizer was grown,
! the difference in product, where IA
tons Of manure was used per acre, in
favor Of surface manuring amounted
to more than one and one-half tons.

surface by the action of frost and rain

distributed as to act more quickly and
efficiently than if applied in the spring.

Putting Away Machinery.

We wish to offer the suggestion for
what it is worth that farmers just now
go little out of their usual way, if
necessary, to overhaul their machine
ry and implements lin general. See
that they are both well cleaned and
we'll oiled where needed. 1t is out OF
the question to expect any kind OF
machine to do good work one year
after another where no pains are TAX
en- to have it put away for the winter
in proper shape. We do not mention
this matter again for the purpose of
filling space. This is a matter that
needs the average farmers attention,
and our experience is that it takes
cline upon line, and precept upon pre-
cept" to reach them. Then, boys rub
up the machines, and the plows, AID
the hoes; buy new ones when you have
to, but wear out what you have first
