Eow to Destroy Bacteria by Means OF
Disinfecting Substances.
In regard to the destruction of bac-
terra injurious TO milk, writer says
that we can use a number of disinfect-
ing substances, such as fumes of sui
phur and milk of lime. Before they are
used the stables should be thoroughly
cleaned. After removal of the animals
all dirt should be removed, and floor,
wells and ceilings should be thoroughly
scraped with brush and water. If we
use sulphur as disinfectant, all open
ings must be closed, and all cracks
SHOULD be papered. To kill all bacteria
we need from so to 60 gramms per cubic
meter. This is based upon expert
ments in the laboratory, but in practice
it has been found that ten gramms per
cubic meter will give good results. The
sulphur, broken in small pieces, is ig-
nited upon an iron pan; the doors are
then kept closed for at least IL to Ia
hours, when the stable can be used
again, after being ventilated with
strong draught of air. During this
time the animals, and chiefly their legs
and feet, should be brushed with wa
ter containing soda. The clothing of

A Tortv-Mlle Bridge.

The great project of bridging over
Palk's strait, separating the island of
Ceylon from the mainland of India, for
which such important advantages are
claimed, is said to be again under con-
sideration by the government of Ceylon.
The strait is some II miles broad at its
narrowest point. being double the width
of the English channel, but it is very
shallow, in many places being not more
than six feet deep. The islands, reefs
and channels in it have been recently
accurately surveyed and mapped, and
the cost of the work, extending over
81 miles, including the Pamban chan
mel and the Adams Bridge reef, is esti-
mated to reach some 28,000,000 rupees.
The plan of work contemplates the con-
nection of the ends by AS miles of rail-
road with Colombo, the great harbor of
Ceylon, on one side, and by 90 miles of
road with Modura, the nearest point OF
the Indian railroad system, ON the
other. If narrow gauge is used this can
be done, it is calculated, for II 100000
rupees more.-St. Louis Republic.

Recent Investigations by the depart
znent of agriculture of the state OF
Pennsylvania on the amount OF food
adulteration lead to some interesting
results. A conservative estimate
places the value of the food consumed
bv the citizens of the state at $780,
100000 and if to this amount is added
the average estimate of adulteration,
it follows that there is lost through this
means $2O,0O0,0O0.

SPRAYING PLUM Trees.
It Is Wise to Repeat the Operation at
Least Six Times.

It Ts Wise to Repeat the Operation at
Least Six Times.
Those who want to raise plums will
need to be attending to the possible fun
gous diseases and the curculio. If the
trees have the plum scale on them they
should have been sprayed with kero-
sene emulsion in the fall after the
leaves had fallen. Otherwise six spray
ings are recommended for the coming
season.
The first spraying should be to de
stroy or prevent the black knot in the
spring. The first warm days should be
improved on for this purpose. The
bordeaux mixture should be used.
The second spraying should be with
the same mixture when the buds are
swelling, to keep off the black knot and
other funguos diseases.
The third spraying should be after
the blossoms have fallen. The trees
should also be Jared at this time for
the curculiO.
Two weeks later spray again, and jar
the trees for the curculio every three
days.
If necessary spray twice more at in
tervals of about two weeks and keep
up the jarring. if the curculio be pres
ent.
If the San Jose scale appears it will
be necessary to use kerosene emulsion.
This is especially important at the time
of the birth of the young scales.-Farm-

The height from bottom of aisle to apex

First the pit is dug the length re-
quired, according to the number of
sashes used, II feet wide and three feet
eight inches deep; then the boards that
separate the aisle from the pit are put

then boards six inches wide are set
on their edge lengthwise of the pit for
the bottom rest of the aisles; then the

is then put in and the sashes put on
(three feet by six feet sashes are used),

a door is built; such as used in the
ordinary double cellar door. The seed
beds are next to go in, and are ready
to plant as soon as the temperature

Such a pit can be used for growing
radishes, onions, lettuce and other vege-
tables, and for starting seeds of cab
bage, cauliflower, egg plants, tomato,
pepper, sweet corn, melons, cucum-
bers.
For such seed as corn, cucumbers and
melons, which are difficult to trans
plant, seed may be sown in pieces of
sod two inches square, on the root side,
and when it is time to transplant the
sod is lifted out and put in the desired
place; they are better than the small

Ornamental Devices to Conceal the
Baroness.
Large fireplaces are sometimes prob
lem to despairing housekeepers who
cannot afford the expense of fitting
them up with brass fire sets. The old
time freboard is condemned by fash
ion and good taste. The value OF the
fireplace as a means of ventilation Is
too evident to admit of any doubt.
Some ingenious housekeepers manage
to conceal the baroness of the brick
facing with fernery arranged in e
large box concealed by hchens and
moses. Some housekeepers utilize
picturesque japanese umbrella, which
will shut off the view without shutting
off all the air. A picturesque low screen
set a few inches from the fireplace will
not completely shut off the current OF
air.
Still another suggestion is to have
a close screen of painted muslin or some
sheer material fitted in in place of the
old fireboard. These muslins may be
painted at home, but it would be less
trouble and hardly any more expense
to buy some of the pretty decorated
muslins of the orient that are sold in all
cities. and thus shut off the dust and
sight of the chimney and yet admit air:

Young Russians Being Educated In Com

Young Russians Being Educated in Com
mercial Trade Schools.
In looking over the field of commerce
the Russians have noted the fact that
there is not one Russian exporting
house in any of the ports of the Black
and Azov seas, the whole business of
exporting in the southern part of the
cars dominions being in foreign hands.
The reason assigned is that the Rus
SLAMS are not properly fitted with COM
mercial education. Therefore, accord
ing to United States Consul General
Karal, at St. Petersburg, general
movement has begun looking to the es-
adjustment of special trade schools,
which will educate the Russian mer-
chant to point where he may hold his
own against the specially trained agents
of foreign firms. In these schools,
which are variously supported by muni-
cipalities, merchants, societies and pri-
waite companies, young men of business
instincts are given a special education
in language, political economy, COM
mercial arithmetic and other branches
of learning not particularly treated in
colleges, but highly essential to the
success of those who engage in the
worlds commerce. In this the Rus
slams are following the German system,
which has as yet no counterpart in the
United States, and which is developing
class of enterprising and thoroughly
equipped young business men who are
rapidly extending German trade in

TEXAS TO THE FRONT.
Great Road Convention to Be Held al
Galveston, May 22.

Great Road Convention to Be Held at
Galveston. May 22.
There is one especially encouraging
feature of the good-roads movement.
1t is the activity in that direction in
regions remote from centers of popula-
ton.
A convention of delegates represent
ing the great state of Texas is to be
held in Galveston, beginning on May
20. In Arkansas a state convention was
held at Little Rock in February, in
which a resolution was adopted rec
ommending a constitutional amend
ment empowering county authorities
to levy a special tax for carrying on
q work of general highway improve
ment. Similar steps have been taken
IN several other states of the south and
west.
Another encouraging feature of the
movement is general disposition to
profit by the experience of other coun-
tries-notably of France, which has
perhaps the finest wagon-roads of any
country. Good roads are more easily
made and kept in order there than in
most countries, because of the scarcity
of forest areas, which conserve moisture
and render somewhat more difficult the
keeping of highways in repair. But it
is possible and well worth the while
to have good roads and still preserve
the desired areas of natural forest. The
time is not distant when the neglect of
either of these important interests will
be matter of general public regret,
and will be viewed as a public misfor-
tune.-Youth's Companion.
