Pianos for Winthrop.

In August last five pianos from one
maker and one each from two other
makers we're purchased by the Win
throp Normal College of Rock Hill, s..
c., as trial instruments. with the un'
derstanding that if satisfactory others
from the same makers were to be add
ed. Time and test does not seem to
prove them entirely satisfactory since
when eight more pianos were needed
they were not chosen from either OF
the makes before taken on trial. This
time the selection was made from a
purely musical standpoint by those
qualified to judge the actual merits OF
q piano; and, as result the MASON
AND HAMLIN and MATHUsEK were chos-
en- from some twenty-five competing
makers. We shall be pleased If those
who are thinking of buying pianos
will write the music department OF
this college asking how they like the
MASON AND HAMLIN and MATHUsEK
pianos, and why they were chosen
above all others. LUDDEN & BATES,

Powder Works Blown Up.

KINGSTON, N. Y, March 1s.-The
Latin and Rand Powder works at Rif-
ton, exploded shortly after II o'clock
today. The upper glazier first explod-
ed, setting off the dry house and
,wrecking the grinding mill. engine
house and lower glazier. Five men
were killed and unknown number
hurt. The names of the killed are
Jones, Smalley, Peterson and two
men named Decker. The cause of the
explosion will never be known. The
works were destroyed in a similar
manner inJan. 1894 and wereafterward
rebuilt. They extend for half a mile
along the Waikiki creek. The loss
will exceed s25, 5000. The works are
seven miles from Kingston. The
shock, however, was felt strongly in
this city and caused small panics in
several factories where female help is
employed.

Rotation Of Crops.

In paper read in this country bv Sir
Henry Gilbert on "Leguminous Crops
Grown Continuously, the value of their
power to gather nitrogen was clearly
shown us was their limitations. Wheat
grown continuously gathered for twenty.
tour years 22.1 pounds of nitrogen an
nually, barley %. 4. root crops 1874. beans
4o.h and clover 80. 4 pounds respectively.
Neither beans nor clover grew continu
ously. clover especially failing. furnish
ing but six crops. In the years in which
clover failed. fsllows mainly prevailed
although other crops were grown for some
three years. So great is the capacity of
clover to take up nitrogen that notwith
standing its failure it still gave, as noted
above, about 80 per cent more of nitrogen
than the grain crops. In passing, atten.
ton is Invited to the fact of the rank in
disposition of clover to succeed itself. It
teaches moral to those in the West who
are trying to maks 1t alone adcouata To
trap oil of The nitrogen required in their
farming. Beans failed but three ycars
OUT OF the twenty-four, thus exceeding
clover in self succession, enabling It to
gather for the series OF years more nitro

minerals required, no nitrogen being
supplied.

CITY Council Meetinq.

The city council held its February meet
ing, Monday evening, and the following
concurrent business was transacted:
The joint special committee on the new
school building, which is to be erected to
take the place OF the one lately destroyed
by fire on Lincoln avenue, made its re-
port, in which it recommended the pur
chase by the city OF the lot Of land at the
corner of Liberty and Plummcr streets
The lot is owned Jointly by Mrs. l.. d.
Cooke of Gardiner and Mrs Geo H. Ray
Of La Crosse, Wis, and is 10 rods ON Plum
lner street by eight rods on Liberty street
Mrs. Cooke will sell her undivided half of
the property for the sum of 5000, but the
committee has not yet heard from the
owner of the other half
In consequence of the acceptance of the
report, an order came down from the upper
branch authorizing the mayor and alder
men to sell the Lincoln Avenue school
house lot to the person who will pay the
highest price also to purchase Mrs Cookies 8
| half of the lot at the price above named
| and to offer Mrs. Ray the same price for
her half II she should refuse to accept
that sum, the mayor and aldermen shall
take the lot for school purposes, rs provided

thought that the first half of the order

the sale not to include the hose house
standing on the lot.

The electric light question came up in
the shape of III order by Councilman
Jones OF Ward ., and stirred up an excite
ment akin to that which used to agitatc
| the council during the days OF the sewer
question. The order authorized and in
structed the joint standing committee on

for concurrence but the aldermen sent it
| back with an amendment instructng the
| COMMITTEES to investigate as to the cost Of
such plant and power, and report. The

Dry VS.. Moistened Feed.

Prof. Henry says in The Breeder 5
Gazette;
- At one time it was the writer opinion
that possibly hogs would do better on dry
feed than that which had been moistentd
This thought was brought about by not
ing the time required for eating wet feed
and dry feed. II was found that with drv
feed the hog could not eat over onc-half
as fast rs when the same feed was mixed
with water and made into slop lewas
thought that the slower mastication
would call for more saliva. and probably
more thorough and satisfactory digestion.
Experiments. however. did not bea.. ont
this conclusion. Some German work
seems to favor the dry feed. At the
Minnesota experiment station Smith con
Quoted experiments with wet and dry
feed, getting practically equal results with
both systems.
One trouble with dry feed seems to he
that the auimals will not eat sd largo nm
amount Of food when it is given dry as
when fed wet. The wet food seems to be
more palatablc, and so the animal eats
more than 1t otherwise would. Asarulr,
the best gains are with the heaviest feed
ing and so the wet feed, | believe. will
generally come ont ahead in the gains re
turned. While there have not been
enough experiments to definitely settle
this question today, believe the use Of
wet food to be the most satisfactory for
hogs for the reasons above given that thev
Will generally eat mere feed and therefore
make more satisfactory gains
AS to the period of time the feed shall
stand attsr being wet much will depend
upon circumstances In general | believe
that from eight to twelve hours. as men
toned by our correspondent. will prove
very satisfactory. Often slow ferinenta
ton seems very helpful. This should not
be allowed to go far Is it will destroy
some of the food value and dangerous
germs may be harborcd. We all know
