AT Argostoli, in the island of Cepha.
lonia, is a point at which four currents
of water set in from the sea and sink
into the limestone of the cliffs, giving
an anomalous water power that, in the
middle of the century, was used for
driving two grist mills The fall in
this case from sea level to the surface
OF the discharge pits being three to five
feet, and, allowing flow of 1000 cubic
feet per minute to be necessary to
drive the mills, the estimate made by
scientific investigators is that tho ana
:2ual consumption Of water must have
been two billIQns Of cubic feet, which
would fill chamber about five miles
long, 1000 feet wide, and seventy five
deep. AS the flow seems to have been
uninterrupted and fairly uniform for a
perhaps for many centuries
It cannot be assumed that the water is
simply filling fssure Some other the
cries, such, as evaporation in the por-
Gus rock or on encogntering volcanic
sllres, aresn tsregarded as saIisfactory
Ine5 novel conclusion has therefore
Deen entertained by some biologists
that the water returns to the surface
after being heated, the difference in
density between the cold water enter
ing the underground channel and the
warm water emerging, being, it is
thought, sufficient to account for a
dlHerence in height that would enable
the warm column to empty into the
sea, while the cold column is depressed
below sea level.

Aust = i. All stock.

e.
In Australia the great value Of lu-
:erne to the pastoralist consists in
grazing stock on it, says a writer in
Australasian. The employment Of many
hands in farming operations, such as
conserving, lucerne in the form Of hay
'r ensilage, is dreaded by all flock and
herd owners. Nevertheless am a
drm believer in the conservation Of
'odder in both forms, SO that the stock
nay be helped over bad season. By
The aid of modern agricultural ma
shlnery hay-making q is easily and
:heaply performed, and the labor and
lost are still less when ensilage is
made. Many stock-owners are of opin-
on that lucerne is better for making
airly good sheep and cattle prime
han for fattening stores from the first.
In; both cases the stock would prob
IDLY do better il. they had a grass pad
lock with the lucerne. All stock like
change Of fool, and will do better
with change than with a single ar
:icle of food, no matter how nutritious
1t may be. While on Mr. J. S. Hors-
iall's estate of 5Widgiewa I met with
good illustration of the value Of lu-
cerne aon a pastoral property. The
manager (Mr. Morrison) weans the
stud lambs at a very early age, and
when taken from their dams they are
put on lucerne. The result is that
The lambs never sustain the slightest
check, and the ewes, relieved from the
burden of having to support a lamb,
come into the shearing-shed in splen-
did condition. saw the stud ewes
about a month after the lambs were
weaned, and they were kicking up
their heels as if the cares and troubles
Of maternity did not exist. The very
heavy fleeces yielded by the lambs on
this estate are sufficient recommended
ton of the practice of early weaving
on lucerne. In favorable winter in
Riverina there is often good growth
Of lucerne, but L is not nearly as nu-
trdtious as, that Of, spring and summer
growth. Mr.. P. Mcfarland told me
that be had made an experiment Whie9
proved this. He divided 4 flock Of
wethers equally, one-half he placed on
lucerne, the other on native grass.
They were sold at the same time, and
those off grass were better, and real
lied a higher price than the others.
Australian live stock husbandry is
entering Upon a new; development,
which will be fastened by the growing
Of wheat il Riyerina, and in this Dc.
7elopment lucerne Is destined to play
very INF ortant part: IT will cause
double, if not treble, the number OF
stock to be kept, and#it will provide
he fodder (made into haySor ensilage),
that will cause the losses 9 from
thoughts to be. reduced till they will

How He Got Good Prices.

A farmer who kept the best stock to
be had, and whose eggs we're always
fresh and his fowls plump, complained
that he got no more for them than his
neighbor, who gave his focks but lit
tie attention, says a writer in Mirror
and Farmer. Both shipped their pro-
duce to the same city, to be sold by

had listened to the complaints, remark
ed: s'How can you expect customers
to know that you have something
choice to sell when you do not make
the fact known? Why do you not ad-
vertise?''9 The farmer remarked that
only breeders advertised .'.You try it,"
said his friend. The farmer inserted
an advertisement in a.leading daily. as
follows. "a farmer who collects his
eggs daily, and who keeps pure bred
fowls, desires families to send orders
to him direct; no egg over "a hours
old" The result was that in less than
week he had more applicants than

as hetpossessed, and with only one ad-

a. dollar. There We're customers wait
