The Zero OF Chemistry,


No explorer has yet been able to
lang his cap on the north pole, nor has
the chemist In his laboratory yet sue
ceeded in reaching what may be called
the north pole of his researches, name
ly, the zero of temperature or the tenn
perature of celestial space. The zero
has been defined as that point of tenn
perature at which gas particles
would give no pressure and have no
volume, q condition which, it is said,
would take place at temperature Of
274 deg. below the freezing point Of
water. Unlike the arctic explorers,
however, who have number Of roads
open by which to approach the pole,
the chemist has only one route by
which to reach the chilly destination
he seeks, and that is by the liquefac-
ton Of all the gases. This, the text
books state, has all eady been accom-
plished, but the chemist in search Of
tine zero Of tenipert ture knows better.
Though compressed hydrogen, when
expanded, yields mist, the victory
over this battling element has not been
achieved, and as the experiments III
this direction are difficult and costly,
it seems probable that The explorers
will reach the north pole, by balloon
or otherwise. long before tie chemists
reach their zeroic temperature, the
temperature of celestial space. One
practical result the chemist names as
a reason for his researches after the
zero temperature is that should it ever
be reached we could then completely
transform heat into mechanical power,
whereas at prese MT we succeed in get

The Cranberry worm.

Complaints are numerous this sea-
son that cranberries are turning red
long before they are ripe, are wormy,
shrivel up until none are left. This
is the work Of the berry worm or fruit
worm (Acrobasis vacciniD. The egg
for the worm is deposited in the calyx
OH the young berry just after forming.
The worm eats into the berry, and
wanders from that to other berries.
When full grown it leaves the berry,
drops to the ground and burrows into
the soil, where it remains all winter,
and. matches the following June or
July. On wet boys it does not thrive
When full grown it is about half an
inch long. The moth producing this
worm expands wings about three
fourths Of an inch when spread; it is
of an ash gray color, mottled with
white, and when at rest on a cram
berry vine, with wings folded, is not
easily recognized. The eggs matches
In about five or six days after laid.
Flowing to destroy the pest is not
feasible, as the time the water should
be held on the bog would destroy the
crop. An application of paris green
tablespoonful to bucket Of water
applied with spraying outfit at the
time the berries begin to set is effec-
tive.-O. M. Holmes.

Sheep After Harvest.


No species of stock will pay better
returns when turned on the stubble
fields after harvest than sheep, says
the Iowa Homestead They will not
only clean up waste grains left by
the harvesters, but will eat all the
young weeds and grass as we'll, and
will prevent the weeds from going to
seed and scattering trouble all over
the farm. They will also distribute
fertility upon the land and if kept in
this way there will be an appreciable
gain in the flock from feed that would
otherwise have been lost. This feed
would not only be lost to the fockmas-
ter. but the noxious weeds that would
spring up in the fields, without the
sheep, would make the loss greater
than that of the gleanings of the har-
vest merely. 1t may occur to the
reader that some other stock will an
swer this purpose as well, but there
is nothing that fills the bill in these
respects like the sheep. Swine may
get all the wheat and now and then
eat hog weed or some purslane, but
the sheep will take clean swath, ap-
parently unconscious of the taste,
and animated only with desire to
clean up everything In it's path.

Agriculture Pointers.

Raspberries produce good crops In
the same soil for years, while straw
berries produce their best crops the
first year they come into full bearing.
The removing of the old canes In the
thrifty growing plants is about all of
the pruning needed with currants,
and it serves to keep the plants In a
good fruiting condition generally.
There is excellent food for stock in
wheat, cut green, while the grain is
soft and at recent prices pays better
for mich cows and other cattle.
horses and sheep than to thresh the
grain.
Those who have their doubts about
intensive cultivation, extra manuring,
ETC., are the men who are never
tempted to practice them. One should
never be ready to condemn thing
without some trial.
1t is not to the farmer that hard
times oftenest come, and bankruptcy
is a rare visitor. Statistics show that
agriculture is safer than banking. rail-
waying or manufacturing, taking all
things into account.
Sow small corner Of the corn field
to rye, oats or barley for pasture for
pigs. The pigs can be run for few
u ecks this fall without the least dam
age to the corn crop. and to the great
advantage of the pigs.
If one desires a clean, long lived,
prolific meadow, all stock should be
kept off, and then moved twice year
if necessary. A good timothy meadow
may be easily ruined by tramping and
grazing after harvest.
1t is estimated that the ration which
makes one pound of steer meat beef
will also make one pound Of butter or
two Of cheese. This is a thought
worthy Of consideration by those
farmers who are anxious to get bet
ter profit out of their live stock.

c..lker n Chieles..

Canker Of the throat in chicks Il
often mistaken for gapes, says Farm
Journal. The characteristic yellow
sores sometimes close up the mouth Of
the windpipe and cause the birds to
gasp for breath. II an attempt be
made to extract cape worms from a
chick 30 affected 1t is likely to die in
the operation. A drop Of peroxide Of
hydrogen applied with pippet
syringe or dropper to the sores may
give speedy relief. Old fowls aud
pigeons are also frequently affected
by canker. Sick birds should be re-
moved at once from the flock, and all
water vessels cleaned out, scalded ana
coated with lime wash, and all food
should be supplied in clean vessels.

FAN Campaign Against weeds.

Fol campaign Against Wee0e.
Inquiries. IRE constantly coming to
US conceAting the best method Of get
ting rid bf noxious weeds, especially
perennials. Begin by sowing the in
Tested fields to oats In the spring, or
wheat or rye in the fall. Soon after
these small grains have been harvest
ed, pillow under the stubble, thus
checking the development of the first
crop of weeds. When the second
crop has started on the plowed ground,
go over 1t with disk harrow, corn
cultivator. or any other farm imple-
ment that will kill the ye=zng weeds.
Repeat this operation as often as nee
essary this fall to prevent the matur-
ing Of any seed or the development Of
root stock. Seed the field to winter
grain again this fall and repeat the
operation again next year. If tho
weeds are very persistent, as the
Canada thistle, quack grass, ETC., cul-
tivate the fallow often enough to pre-
vent any green surface appearing.
Otherwise the underground stems will
live for long time. This is the best
method of treating an infested field,
and If persisted in will be successful.
Now is the time to begin the work.
DO not neglect it. Orange Judd

The Bible on Bicyclins.

10. AS for the wheels, it was cried

IA. And every one mad four faces;
the first face was the face of a cher
ub, and the second face was the face
Of q man, and the third the face Of q
lion. and the fourth the face of an
eagle.
Is. And the cherubim were lifted
up. AS is the living creature that
saw by the River Chebar.
16. And when the cherubim went,
the wheels went by them; and when
the cherubim, lifted up their wings to
mount up from the earth, the same
wheels also turred not from beside
them.
II. When they stood. these stood;
and when they We're lifted up, these
lifted themselves up also; for the spir-
it of the living creature was in them.
1S. Then the glory of the Lord de-
parted from the threshold Of the
house, and stood over the cherubim. q
10. And the cherublm lifted up
their wings, and mounted up from the
earth in my sight; when they went
out, the wheels also were beside them
and every one stood at the door Of
the east gate Of the Lords house: and
the glory Of the God Of Israel was
over them above.-Ezekel, Chapter

CoxFUCIAN MISSIONARY.

tied In This Country.

q Teacher OF Chinese Morality Set.
tied In This Country.
Some months ago the Chinese minis
ter at Washington made visit to
this city for the purpose of looking
Into the condition of his countrymen.
He perceived that they We're we'll
supplied with joss houses, but sadly
In need Of moral instruction. Accord
ingly he caused hall to he hired in
the Chinese quarter and appointed a
man learned In the doctrines of Con-
fucius to give lectures on moral prac-
tees to such as would care to come
and hear.
A hall was secured for this purpose
at IA Mott street, up two flights of
stairs. ~On one side Of the room is
posted notification issued by the
Chinese consul of this city informing
his countrymen of the new course
of lectures; on the opposite side is
the Chinese text of the immigration
treaty recently concluded between
China and the United States
The lecturer appointed by the mis-
sionary is Chu-Yang-Kow. He is a
thin-faced man, with pale, sickly
complexion, a slight stoop in his shout
ders and a few struggling hairs on
his upper lip. Though he has been in
this country over fifteen years he can
not speak word of English. His
countrymen hold him in high esteem.
On the platform he wears the full
dress Of Chinese gentleman-a long,
flowing robe reaching down to the
ankles, with shorter coat over it,
satin boots and a cap with a red but
ton on top.
1t was at first intended that a lee
ture should be given every Sunday
and Monday and the first and if
teenth days of every Chinese month,
Tor most laundrymen do not work
Sundays and Mondays and the first
and fifteenth days Of the month stand
with the Chinese nearly as Sunday
does with the Christian people. But
the hard-working laundrymen do not
care to listen to more than one dry
sermon week, and the only meeting
that is now held is on Sunday. The
lecture is confined to sixteen topics.
These are the Sacred Command
ments," so called from the fact that
they are the effusions Of an imperial
mind. Here are some of them:
''Pay special attention to filial and
fraternal duties, in order to give due
Importance to the relations of society.
"Let peace abound among neighbors
In order to put a stop to disputes and
litigations.
Encourage frugality and economy
with view to the saving of money
and expenses.
