OpaIs A. yvclla.

There is something mysteriously fas-
cinating about the artesian well sub
iect into which almost every intelligent
Floridian delves. Almost everybody
knows that various kinds Of fossils have
been brought out OF the wells, but no.
body ever heard OF opals being ono Of
their products. Such, however, is the
fact. DR.. John Linn, tho young gentle
man who went of TO help Cuba. has two
small opals in his scientific collection
which came from the new Springfield
we'll just completed by Mr. Partridge.
Mr.. Partridge said that he did not know
whether they were opals or not. but
that he did know that John Linn said
they were. The opal Is nothing more
than a volcanic glass. hence the finding
OF opals hundreds Of feet below the sur
face is rot more startling than the find
ing OF sharks teeth. sea sand and sea
shells.--Jacksonvillc Citizen.

THE HAND SEPARATOR.
What the Machine IL. How II Works and
What IL saves

Prof. c. S. Plumb. Maryland Expert
mental Station: 1.-THE hand separator
consists OF a small metal bowl. which
is revolved with great rapidity by
means of cogwheel connections. Milk
turned into the bowl separates into
skim milk, which accumulates in the
outer portion of the bowl. and cream.
which gathers near the center. After
the separation In the bowl the cream
and skim milk escape from IL through
outlets into separate tubes. from which
they are conducted into cans. This ac-
ton of separation Is continuous so long
as the bowl Is revolving at suitable
speed.
"Separators are now commonly sold
on the market that do satisfactory
work. practically removing all the but
ter fat from the milk. On the average
farm probably every 100 pounds of skim
milk secured by the old-fashioned
methods contains from one-fourth 10
one-half pound of fat. More is left in
the milk than farmers are often aware
Of. The properly-run separator removes
nearly all, IL not all Of this.
1.-THE writer believes that every per-
son who keeps five or more cows, with
the object Of making as much butter
from them as possible. who makes gilt
edged butter and who is interested in
progressive dairying would find in tho
hand separator a money-making ma
chine. Other people are likely to be dis
appointed IL they buy hand separator.

They Have All the Properties which
Make LInseed So Valuable.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases IL Is an open question
whether il will pay to ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and the rest be fed
TO the cows. Where markets are so de-
pressed as at this time il often happens
that common stock will not pay any
profit at all, while really choice fruit
will bring a fair price. III, therefore, we
ship only the best we have a better
chance OF making something on our APP
pies, and at the same time have lot OF
good feed for the cows, or, in fact, al
most any kind of stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind OF feed, and work
up until you reach the desired limit,
which will be found TO be about ten
pounds per day for COW. Apples con-
tain n greater proportion of cnrbo-
hydrates TO protein than most feeds;
consequently they need TO be supple
mented by some feed rich In protein,
such as linseed meal or bran, and in this
case we would prefer the bran, as the
apples themselves have all the medicin-
al properties that make the linseed val
liable.
IL 1t is possible the apples should be
run through a root cutter, as there il
danger OF the cows choking themselves.
This danger is, we think. rather remote,
as we have seen lots of apples eaten by
cows, and have yet to see the first COW

AMERICAN HORSES.
weIl-Bred Animals Find Ready Sale In
the German Market.


the German Market.
An influential German illustrated
Journal notices the report Of the Amer
lean consul at Bremen, and states that
Germany furnishes a good market for
American horses. This is q significant
fact and n suggestive one. also. 1t has
not been long since the idea Of sending
American horses TO Europe would have
been ridiculed. The advance in this
branch of live stock industry in this
country has been wonderful.
The best blood OF American English
(Which includes Scotland) and French
horses has been used 10 improve
American horses. And the result is that
these horses are now going abroad in
considerable numbers. Since 1895 II
appears that 10000 horses have been
shipped from America TO German
ports. the chief ports being Hamburg
and Bremen. They bring on an average
about $175 each, and are often resold
for $3.50 at Leipsic and other inland
cities. 1t is stated also by the same
paper that purchasers for these AmerI-
can horses have gone from Sweden and
Denmark TO Hamburg to obtain them,
which shows that there is market IN
those countries for American horses.
But IL Is well TO note the fact that
poor stock fails to find purchasers al
remuneratiye figures. and German
newspapers warn American shippers
that IL is useless 10 send such inferior
animals 10 Germany. The fact Is also
emphasized that great care should be
taken in handling and feeding the
horses on hipboard.-Farmers' Voice.

One Of the country delegates
shouted: "We don't want anything
to do with your San Antonio

Judge Noonan."
All Judge Noonan needs is head

Mr.. James P. Newcomb was the
butt of all the attacks from the
harmony fighters, but finally
came out triumphant, by his
smooth tactics and throwing great
chunks of harmony at his an
tagonists.
