SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

A method of soldering aluminium

scientific inventions. 1t is said to re.

The London Lancet thinks that
there is no scheduled poison fatal to
man that is not also injurious to other

The power of herculite, new ex'

Albion College, Michigan, is fitting

Professor George B. Hale OF Chica-

Academy by the award of medal for
his services to science.
Goats milk is very popular in Paris,
especially for feeding young children
as the physicians declare that 1t Is
absolutely free from tuberculous
germs.
Purulent pneumonia is now preva'
lent in Paris It originated with a
cargo of green parrots landed some
time ago at Bordeaux and spread to all
the towns to which they were sent.
M. Bazin, French naval engineer,
has exhibited to committee of experts
a model of his new invention for an
ocean-going vessel. 1t is a raft-llke
structure, and is mounted on eight re-
volving cylinders. 1t is intended to
roll over the waves instead of pushing
through them.
1t is said that when sewerage has
been subjected to treatment with sea-
water electrolyzed by the Hermlte
process all offensive odors are COM
pletely destroyed and all microbes
killed. If the experiments now being
made in France with this new disin-
fectant result in cheapening its pro-
duction so that it can be used on
large scale. it is expected that it wilt
greatly reduce the death-rate in all
cities.
Observations and calculations have
led Mr.. A. Mallack to conclude that
insects do not see we'll, especially at
distance. Their composite eye, how.
ever, has an advantage over the SIM
pie eye, in the fuct that there is hardly
any nautical limit to the nearness OF
objects it can examine. The best in

ture about as good as if execute d In

FARM AND GABDEN NOTES.


Brood mares do best when worked
regularly.
Why not give the colts run in the
paddock on pleasant days.
Remove the shoes from the idle
horses and give them turn in the
paddock.
1t is both wasteful and injurious to
keep supply of hay before the horse
all the time.
An occasional bran mash will do
much towards keeping the horses in
good condition.
Outside the large stock farms very
few mares were bred in New York
State last season.
In the breeding industry it does not
50 much matter where we started as in
what direction we are moving. There
is no standing still. 1t must be either
back ward or forward
The so-callod celery-fed ducks have
no distinct flavor of celery, but pc
culiar delicious taste. The celery is
finely cut and mixed with the food for
about a month before killing.
There is double loss in the feeding
of young stock in winter if they are
not kept in thrifty growth. Not only
is the food wasted, but the animals
digestion is injured and it is perma-
nently stunted, never attaining the
size that it would had growth con-
tinued uninterruptedly from the first.
In experiments made in France ap-
pies were proved to possess no fatten-
ing value. Mixed with the ordinary
sations they were enjoyed by pigs and
cattle, but horses and sheep merely
nibbled at them, while they caused the
poultry to become thin. All animals
save COWS showed preference for
pears.
Laboratory tests show that the feed
ing value of apples is somewhat higher
than that of an equal weight of tur-
nips. Apple pomace is said to be
equal to sugar beets it being some.
what singular chemical fact that the
pomace is richer in nitrogenous mat
tel than the apple from which it has
been made.
There is q great difference in the
milking qualities of breeding sows.
1t is on this that their value or worth
lessness as breeders must always
mainly depend. The SOW that has not
been fed fattening food while young,
and that is bred early, will probably
develop into good milker. She will
be large framed and long bodied.
The Shropshire top on the merino
eve is the favorite cross among the
wool men who are going IN for NUT
ton, but the best results are gained from
the second top cross of Shrop which
eliminates three-q quarters of the meri-
no blood and makes very good class
of mutton, while the Shropshire adds
size and makes q quick maturing
lamb.
There is but little demand for broil-
ers before January and then prices go
up. The late fall chicks that are kept
under cold storage come into market
from now on and supply the limited
demand The first brollers sold usual
ly weigh about pound each, and sell
at from forty to fifty cents wholesale,
but much higher price is obtained il

Hurry.Up and By-and-By.

Hurry-up met By-and-by
Twining flowers one day;
Hurry.up was very grave,
By-and-by was gay,
"Wait little, friend he sale,
"Come and share my play"
Rut the other did not pause,
81 must work, said he;
nWork until my task is done,
And my mind is free.
"Work will wait" quoth By-ahd-by,
"Sit down here with me.
81 shall labor pretty soon -
When this wreath is laced,
There is time enough for toll,
WHY this foolish haste?"
Hurry-up said, walking on,
"Time's too dear to waste"
By-and-by saw Hurry-up
Once again, they say;
Saw him sitting at his ease
In the bright MONDAY;
Blossoms grew about his feet.
And his air was gay.
By-and by, with brooding eyes.
Looking out to the west,
Hurrying down the dusty road
Anxious and depressed.
While beneath his nervous feet
Faded flowers he pressed
"Queer," he grumbled, as he went
Soowling on his way, t."
"How luck favors Hurry-up!
Fate is queer, l say"
And he does not understand
'Such is pluck" alway.

TEETH AND DIGESTION IN HORSES.

The average horse receives hard
grain and hay food, often mixed with
sand, all tending to the rapid and
irregular wearing away of the teeth.
The softer teeth wear fastest, and the
teeth often become irregular, with
ragged, sharp edges from uneven wear
ing. The gums and the inside of the
cheeks are lacerated by the sharp
edges and becoming infamed, may
even ulcerate. The motion of the
jaws causes 50 much pain that the
horse does not gather the food with the
cheek and tongue for the repeated

MARCELENA'S LOVERS.

1t was at that time of the year when
| the sky of New Mexico is as blue as
he eyes of the girl you love, and the
cant herbage reminds you of the
Scotch heather, dry and vari- colored,
but making an exquisite harmony
lmong the huge blood-red sandstone
futtes, and plains diversified by caves
Ind canyons. And spread everywhere
Ihe wonderful cacti, with their mar
elous flowers, like the scarlet bios
cms of sin.
There in peace and plenty, live
eople who will always be picturesque,
be unique and interesting Pueblos,
no have lost more arts than we ever
pssessed; whose men are brave,
eaceful and domesticated who live
terraced houses and build difficult
burches, and wash themselves without
byernment interference and who do
pt choose for themselves Yankee sons
law, but are often compelled to ac-
pt them as q penalty for having
lndsome daughters.
The Pueblo girls, like girls the
Prld over, will marry only where
ey love, and no man dare trife with
affections of Pueblo maiden.
ALL Of which is incidental to the
Pry OF Marcelena Zenda, the pretti-
girl in New Mexico, who lived in
