A STRIPED HOUSE.
Peculiar Structure Found In the Wflds Of
Arizona.

Peculiar Structure Found In the Wi1ds OF
Arizona.
The ruins of Casa Grande, near
Florence, Ariz-, have for many years
been an object of constantly increasing
interest to archRologists and students
of the early tribes Of the American
continent Congress has spent thou
sands of dollars to protect them from
the elements. although the ruins con-
sist only OF four crurnbEng walls But
they have been conceded to be the
walls of the oldest building on the
American continent. Now, however,
there is another claimant for that
honor, and whether the question of
age will ever be settled or not. there is
no doubt but that the new ruins are
most interesting and worthy Of preser-
walton.
Few civilized men have ever seen the
ruins, which are located in canyon in
the widest and most inaccessible part
of the Barbaracopari mountains, near
the Mexican line. In fact part of the
mountain range is in Mexico. but the
ruined building is on UnitE5 States
soil
It is located almost in a straight line
twenty miles west from Tumacacori,
Ariz-, and SO concealed by the sur
rounding mountains that it can not be
seen until the traveller is almost beside
it. A party of hunters came upon the
building short time ago by accident,
much to the surprise of several mem
bers who had passed within five hun
dred feet of it on previous occasions
and yet were unaware of its existence.
The building is the only structure in
Arizona, made of black and white
adobe bricks and presents curious
appearance.
There are really five structures
standing in good state of preserva-
ton, but, as is clearly evident, they
were once inclosed by wall SO as to
make one building. There is a central
building over one hundred feet square,
about one hundred feet from each cor
ner towers nearly one hundred feet
high are standing.
The central building is four stories
high and has an enormous door reach
| ing through two of them. A few of the
floor tim bers remain hanging from the
crumb bling walls but the floor disap-
peared years ago.
| The towers are about twenty-five
| feet square at the base, and at one
| time had some sort of stairway to the
top, as is evident from the timbers still
| hanging to the wall. Now they look
more like huge chimneys.
The material used in construction is
exactly the same as in the Casa Grande,
except in this case there is the black
and white bricks. They are laid in
| layers so as to form bands about six
feet wide, producing the same effect as
suit of convict's clothing.
An irrigating ditch runs along one
wall, and there can be no doubt but
that in the rainy season it is filed with
water from the canyon above.
The inaccessibility Of the ruins on
account of their remoteness, as we'll as
! the danger from wild beasts and wilder
men, will very likely prevent a careful
examination being made for some time
to come, but there is no doubt but that
when this is done some important facts
| will be added to the knowledge of our
aborigiaes. Francisco Call.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder IS
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the 1ightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift
or prize or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute fer the
Royal, which is absolutely pure.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CONTINUOUS LIME KILN.


IL Does Not Cost Very Much to Build ono
on the Farm
Limestone is a carbonate Of lime, and
lime Is the oxide of the metal calcium,
which has such an intense avidity for
oxygen that 1t takes fire and burns
with intense heat and light when ex-
posed to air that Is at all moist Thus
II Is rare metal, and used only for
chemical purposes. The great abun-
dance of limestone, which is more or
less diffused everywhere In the soil,
and in places Is very abundant, being
found in vast beds Of marble and other
forms of it, might lead TO the SUPPOSE
ton that plants might procure all they
need without any help. But it is quick
lime they need, and not the inert car
Donate of 1t; and thus 1t Is that the
stone Is burned to drive out of 1t the
carbonic acid, and make it into lime,
which Is an acrid, caustic substance
that exerts a most energetic action on
all organic matter; and considerable
action on mineral compounds in the
soil, dissolving silica and thus setting
free such plant foods as potash, mag
nesia, soda and phosphoric acid from
insoluble compounds Limestone is in
soluble in water, but lime is soluble in
700 parts of water. Thus 1t is that

Timothy and clover Compared.

Timothy and clover, says the New
York Times. has been a standard mix
ture for hay, and pasture after it, and
in some localities, as where the sum-
mers are comparatively cool, 1t does
very well. But where the summer
heat is greater, the timothy does not
mature as soon as the clover, and un-
less the clover is cut too late the tim
othy is not ready for cutting. Thus 1t
is better to use an earlier grass, as or
chard grass, which is in its best condi-
ton for cutting at the same time that
the clover is. Another advantage as
TO this grass is that IL is far more
permanent than timothy, and after the
clover has run out 1t will occupy the
land for many years, certainly thirty
or forty, with good management, as,
for instance, frequent top dressings
with manure, and some new seed, to
be covered in with harrow, the har-
rowing being done after the manure
has been spread, so that The seed is

way, it is found very useful, some
think indispensable, toapply the actual
lime to the soil.
1t is not much of job to make lime.
The limestone may be put in a heap
with wood or coal, and wall built up
around the heap 20 confine the heat.
The fuel being fred, the stone is made
into lime in three or four days. But
this is costly way, and thus where
there is demand for the lime, kilns
are used, some temporary ones, but lit
tie improved on the heaps, or clamps,
as they are called, and some strong
structures called permanent kilns of
which the cut is an example This is
made of any kind of hard stone, and
lined with fire brick. 1t is egg-shaped,
because as the limestone Is burned, and
the coal or wood used as fuel is con-
sumed, the bulk decreases, and thus
what will fill the belly of the kiln,
only fills the throat at the bottom.
This kiln may have three or four
threats or openings for drawing out
the lime, but each is made In the way
shown. The lime W hen 1t reaches the
bottom being fully burned, is drawn
out into the hearth a, through the
opening into the kiln, b. In burning
the stone is broken into convenient
size for handling, and way is made to
the top of the kiln, which is most often
built in bank. A small sloping track
is sometimes made to the top of the
kiln, and platform around it. 50 that
the small cars of lime and fuel may be
drawn up and dumped into the kiln.
The fire is started in the bottom
by filing in dry wood; on this
Is laid other wood, from the
tn.'oat, then more fuel, wood or coal
(the cheap slack being used), is dumped
in at the top, then some lime, and then
alternately fuel and limestone until
the kiln is full, when it is fred, and
goes on day after day us long as lime
Is required. About the third day, the
lime is ready for raking out, which is
done with long iron bars with right
angled hook at the end. 1t is only
necessary to start it, when 1t fills the
hearth, where it is left to cool. When
It is taken out, more lime comes down,
or If it lodges, the hook is used to
loosen it. After the kiln is first
charged, the stone sinks down steadily,
and as this is always to be kept heaped
at the mouth, as soon as IL has sunk
down to a level, fresh supply is
heaped up. As the fumes from the
kiln consist of carbonic acid, which is
a deadly gas when breathed, it is neces-
sary for the man in charge of feeding
the kiln, to keep on the windward side,
so that the gas is blown away from
him.-Rural New Yorker.

MOVING THE POULTRY HOUSE

The birds are quartcred in 1t and
drawn to the field, where they are fed
once or'twice in the house to accustom
them to it. Then they are supplied
with plenty Of water and turned upon
the stubble, changing them about to
fresh forage as often as they seem to
require new ground, to find sufficient
of the fallen grain. II the house be
built of half-inch matched boards, it
will be found light enough to be moved
easily, and will prove quite saving in
feed from year to year. During the
winter months, when other more i'm

be put to good advantage by construct
ing such a movable poultry house.
