Water Cress for PROFIT

Water crosses can be made to pay if
any vegetable can. If you have the right
facilities, !. e., a piece of ground that
can be covered from one to six inches
deep, with cool, gently-fowing water,
you will have no difficulty in producing
large amounts OF this popular green

it, indeed, is to cut and tie ii in punches.

water, or 10 SOW some seed into the

ABOUT GOLD STORAGE.
Why Every Farm Should Have a small
Plant of It's Own.


Plant of It's Own.
The cold storage business is taking
ON immense proportions. Its develop
ment in the principal cities of the coun-
try has been nothing less than PIKE
nomenal of late years And now cold
storage warehouses are being erected
Mt country shipping points. In some
cases they are put up by the farmers
themselves, who organize cooperative
stock companies and conduct the BUSH
ness on the same general principle that
is applied so successfully in cooperative
creameries. Most of these cold storage
plants in both city and country use
chemical refrigeration or other arti-
fetal means of creating and maintain
ing low temperature. We under
stand that recent progress in this line
makes it possible to build and equip n
cold storage plant at comparatively rea-
sonable cost. OF course, where the ice
crop is assured, no expensive refrigerat-
ing machinery is required, and in such
localities cold st0rage can be provided
in connection with Il neighborhood ice
house. The fact that cold storage is
coming into such extensive use in the
cities is The best possible evidence that
it generally pays TO thus hold perishable
products until they can be marketed 10
the best advantage. Now, IL this is such a
good thing for marl'cimen. cold storage
can be equally useful to farmers, espe-
cially as they can utilize its advantages
by the cooperative method. Almos: any
farmer can have fruit retarding house
built on a side hill. which does not re-
auire ice, and small cold storage room
should be feature of every farm or
home icehouse. Orange Judd Farmer.

How ca Make one That Does Not DiG

Into the Ground.
For cleaning Off barnyard when
dirty there is nothing better than a

farmer. Take an inch board "a A in

object is to scrape the top merely, in
stead OF thrusting into the ground. as a
scraper is contrived to do. a lever (D),
which is hinged to back end of tongue,

Very Deep W ell.

The Cotton Belt railroad has just
had completed at their shops near
Pine Bluff, one of the deepest wells
ever bored in that city. 1t extends
down 900 feet and was made at a
total cost of $4,000. The quantity
and quality of the water is said to
be very fine; the present capacity
of the well is 65 gallons of water a
minute. In digging the well a
number of varieties of mineral and
stone we're bored through. At a
depth of 300 feet a bed Of sea sand
was discovered. At 500 feet a
strata of rock was passed through.
At $50 feet strata of coal five feet
thick was discovered, and at $50
feet strata of slate rock was dis
covered.

MIN TO project his voice from one point TO

IL enabled him, in other words 10 send
sounds along a ray of light without the AID
Of an electric wire. He took the instrument
and put the tube 10 his mouth. holding the

this shadow increase and diminish and as
sumo various shapes by the action OF his
breath against the mirror diaphragm
That shows YOU, said he. how the ac-
ton OF the diaphragm is carried along the

with some SCOT in 1t where that shadow IS
on the wall and speak into the tube you will
