pIowing by EIectricity.

A system of electric plowing has been
worked out on a commercial basis by
"A. Borsig, of Berlin. Overhead conduc.
tors do not extend into all the fields,
but are tapped by temporary wires laid
on the ground. 1t is possible with an
electric conductor of 500 meters and q
blowing rope of 300 meters working
length, to plow 222 acres from one cen.
ter of operation. Mr.. Borsig states
that with five plows and fixed engine,
of $50 horsepower, 5000 acres of medi-
um heavy ground can be plowed to o
depth of IA inches at cost of 95 cents
per acre. The use of separate engines
increases the cost by IA cents per acre.

WOMAN AND HOME.
SWEET JEAN lNeELow.
Az mn Authorcss She Ranked MS the
Peer of Mrs. Browning.

Peer of Mrs. Browning.
Miss Jean Ingelow, the distinguished
poet and novelist, died in London re-
cently,Nin her seventy-seventh year.
Jean Ingelow was more widely
known as poet than as a novelist. Her
first work appeared in 1883 aud immc
diately created furore in the literary
world, being ranked by many critics
of the day above Longfellow's and Ten
nyson's work.
She was a matured woman at the
time, being above '33 years old, and it
was noted that all her poems had
quaint, tender note of sadness in them.
which Immediately raised the belief
that she had been disappointed in love
in her youth. However, whether the
tender passion ever held sway within
her heart was never known and by
some was never believed. They en-
planned that it was not love which die
tatcd the strain of sadness found
throughout her work, but the many
years of her childhood spent in the
quiet, Unconditional life of the Boston
home off the Lincolnshire coast. "A
ballad, which was published early in
her career and which Fascinated the
lterati of the time with its bizarre
meter and gentle tacttul impulsiveness
of description, was "High-Tide or the
Const of Lincolnshire" And this
sounded the keynote 70 her character.
In 1897 she published a second vol
ume of poems, after which they came
Mt rregularsperiods, but always were
sought for with avidity by publishers.
Miss Ingelow was regarded as the peer
of Mrs. Browning, her fame resting
alone upon her poems. Her work as
novelist attracted not so much at
teution, despite the fact that the pub
lication of her first novel, "Off the
Skelligs," was eagerly awaited
During later years her verse was
kept afloat and before the public by
magazines and exchanges the world
over. 1t was not an uncommon thing
to find an occasional one of her early
efforts reprinted in any Of the metro
politan dailies. And great deal of her
work found its way into the curriculum
of the schools, where it was regarded
as classical.
Many of her verses have been set to
music and her songs "Oh, Fair Dove,

They Preserve Their Vitality and
often Spread Disease.
A writer in the Journal of the Frank!
lin institute calls attention again to
the danger of disease germs in soils.
lie says:
1t has been observed in France that,
in localities where animals are Inferred
which have died of chatbon, the germs
of this infectious malady persist in
the soils for many years, and that, es-
pecially when cereal crops are cultivat-
ed upon such soils, there is great danger
OF communicating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case 1T was
observed that many sheep which were
pastured in field in which, two years
before, a single animal which had died
of charbon was buried, were infected
with the disease and died. In like man
ner, it is entirely probable that the
germs of hog cholera may be preserved
in the soil for many years, to finally
again be brought into an activity which
may prove most disastrous for the own
ers of swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid infect
ing the soil by carcasses which are
dead from any zymotic disease. Crema-
ton is the only safe method of dispos-
ing of such infected carcasses. The
| Investigations of scientists have shown
that there are many diseases of an in
fectious nature due to these germs, and
that these germs may preserve their
vitality in the soil. Among others may
be mentioned yellow fever and tetanusi
and the microoe producing the bubonic
plague, which retains it's vitality in the
soil, and thus escapes entire eradica,
ton. For the reasons given above, the
pgronomist, who also has at heart the
health and welfare of man and beast
can hardly look with favor upon any
of the plans which have been proposed
for the use of sewage from large cities
for irrigation purposes. There is
scarcely a time in any large city wher
some infectious disease, due to the ac
tivity of germs, does not exist, and the
sewage is liable at all times to be con
| taminated Herewith.

BREATHING EXERCISE.
How TO Fiji and Empty the Lungs on
Scientiiic Principles.

Scientific Principles.
1t is claimed by certain reformera
who, it would seem, never find things
to their liking, that not one woman in
hundred breathes normally. The res
piration of the average woman varies
with every change of mental or physic'
al condition, and it is rare thing for
woman to use her lungs to the best
possible advantage without previous
knowledge of physiology and an appre.
citation of the merits ofphysical culture.
Desirable as is thorough exercise
in breathing, it is not quite safe to en-
pertinent in the matter. y very little
instruction on the subject will enable
any woman to comprehend the precise
art of filling and emptying the lungs on
scientific principles. After this has
been acquired the chief thing is to
breathe in as much sunshine as possible
and to believe in the efficacy of Oxygen
as remedy for nearly all the ills thai
are fashionable
The following are some eXcellep,
rules for improving the respiration
and bringing it up to normal ccudi.
ton: Stand in an open window or re
cline on n couch, with the waist and
chest unconfined; hold the chest walls
high and inhale in slow, long breaths,
eXhale as slowly, three times only al
first. Gradually the number of times
may be increased and the time length,
ened for the breathing exercises. Fif-
teen minutes twice day, at least
should be devoted to this exercise to ac-
complish the desired result.-Farmers'

ONE-EYE OR TWO-EYE SHOOT
ING.

Some hunters wto ne shot-guns
shoot with both eyes open, but most
of them shut the left eve. 1t is con-
tended by the one-eye class that one
eye shooting is more accurate than
two-eye shooting, but the two-eye
shooters saw that there is only little
difference, and that is in favor of the
two-eye method.
A man who has both eyes open,
the two-eye men say, has a greater
range OF vision, and in the woods he
can keep the game in sight far better
than one-eye marksman. Besides ne
can keep several birds in sight at once
without hiding them behind the bar
rel of his gun. A bird rising after
a man has aimed, or while he is aim
ing at raised bird, is out of sight
when only one eye is open since the
gun is between the eye and the second
bird. When both eye are open the
left eve sees clear of the gun. and
therefore, bird rising after the one
aimed at may be seen vaguely and
kept in sight until after the first
shot.
Most rih-men who shoot at target
aim with one eye closed, but in the
the woods, here brush may hide the
game and often quick shots must be
made, the hunters more frequently
shoot with both eyes open. At small
game at rest, such as squirrels and
birds, one-eys shooting is believed to
be the better, but with game like u
deer, running or walking, a two-eye
shot has better chance, because the
shooter can see brush, trees, or any
thing else likely to impede or turn the
bullets flight.

GOSSIPING.

Has it ever occurred, We wonder,
to the great world of mothers that
they are largely responsible for the
reputation our sex has for gossiping?
Undoubtedly this thought has never
found place in their mental economy,
yet if they were to study out the prob
lem they would find that the writer
premises are correct. The innate
curiosity that is part of feminine
nature prompts the mother to ques-
ton her little one upon the ways and
manners of the household in which
the child has been visiting. Encourag-
ed by the interest manifested in the
recital the next time the small daugh-
ter spends an hour away from home
she uses her eyes and ears to rare
advantage and is ready to even en-
large upon the humdrum details in
order to make her audience more APP
preciative.
Then as time goes on and the child
developes into a full-hedged gossip
and probably mischief-maker. the
! mother wonders from whom she could
have acquired such a dreadful
habit.
We will be charitable enough to
suppose that masculine gos>ips are
made in the same way, for there are
such creatures, many of them, and in
them the trait seems more reprehensi
BILE than when 1T appears in the femi-
nine make up, yet Why sholld it be
so considered if it, along with other
keen instincts, was foster,d by the
mother when the mind was receptive
and ready to be moulded to any form?
All, mothers, your responsibilities are
many, your burden great. The for
