Lost to Science.

1t is a misfortune of ardent scien.
lists that their most cherished scqui-
sitions are without special value in the
eyes of those to whom utility is of the
first consideration. An annoying ex-
perience befell Professor Agassiz dur.
ing his expedition into the interior of
Brazil in behalf of the Harvard Scen-
tific School.
A tank of water stood in the dining
tent, wherein rare and curious fish
were placed for the professors leisurely
examination. Among these one day
was an uncommon specimen, somewhat
like our pike or iackfsh. 1t was foot
long and its mouth was armed with
rows of sharp teeth.
The professor, very near sighted,
was bending close down to examine
this, when suddenly the fish struck up
and seized him firmly by the nose.
Here was demonstration of its I'M
usual characteristic. The fish was a
treasure. 1t was now doubly valuable
as museum specimen. The professor
was IN ecstacy. In the midst of the
next meal he was displaying his scars,
proud as a German student, and moth
ing would do but that he must show
us the teeth of the fish; but the fish
was gone.
"You have just eaten him, sir, )" the
cook exclaimed.
The professors disappointment was
too apparent. He might possibly
secure another specimen, but hardly
one which would leap out of the tank
to seize him by the nose, even if be
cared to venture the experiment.

A notable success is recorded by the
PAPER Trade Journal in the introduce
ton of railroad rails in Germany and
Russia made from paper material. In
the production of such rails wood
pulp has not been found adapted, but
ordinary pulp from rags, rope stock,
etc, is resorted to, the processes OF
grinding, cooking, digesting and
working of these into a PUPPY con-
dition being accomplished in regular
order, with care, of course, to have
the stock in uniform preparation and
the fiber as well preserved as possible |;
and, when in a pulpy condition, the
ingredients for stitfening the rail to
a proper toughness and etficiency-so
as to stand excessive wear and friction
from the wheels, and for impartIng
elasticity, smoothness and other re-
quirements-ar applied. Quantities
of borax, litharge, paraffine wax, tan
ners' grease, waterproof fish glue,
rosin and fine cement are used in GER
tain proportions, being added to the
pulp while it is yet warm; mixing
follows, and the ingredients are thor
ourhlv combined with the fiber; a
quantity OF shellac and wood alcohol
is next put into the mixture, and the
mass, after being subjected to another
stirring, is then allowed to settle.

TO MAKE GLOVER CATCH AND GROW.

Everywhere ore heard complaints of
the difficulty of securing a good catch
of clover, and the trouble seems to in
crease from year to year. One eXpla'
nation of this is that the humus is
gradually being exhausted from the
soil of many farms; and without
humus or some other material to start
the Young plants, they perish rs soon
as thew terminate. This is illustrated
on some ground now under observa-
ton. IT had being cropped for long
time, until the humus was nearly all
gone. One portion OF the field would
not grow anything OF value. Last
spring the whole field being IN wheat
was sown to clover. The weather
proved unfavorable. and there was no
catch at all except on the very poor
area where the wheat had been top
dressed with well,rotted stable manure.
There the catch was all that could be
desired. After the wheat had been re-
moved, very thin dressing OF manure
was spread over the whole field, and
few DAYS of rain coming, clover seed
was AGAIN sown and became established
before winter; but it would not have
lived had it not been for the manure
on the surface of the ground.
This result has now followed SO ire
ouentlv in our hands that We feel sure
that on thin lands the place to apply
manure Is on the surface, there to re-
main and not to be plowed under;
Applied in this manner and mixed
tbrouph the soil with cultivator, 1t
will cause heavy stand OF wheat on
tbin soil. and the wheat will be fol
lowed bv good catch OF clover 10

The Lead Worker

1t is said that lead working disig-
lres the human body more than any
other kind of work.
In this industry it is inevitable that,
sooner or later, the workers must suc.
cumb to lead poisoning, and there
would appear to be no part OF the body
that the poisonous fumes and floating
particles which permeate the atmos-
phere of the workshops do not affect.
The complexion takes on a CHASTITY,
corpse-like pallor, the gums turn blue,
the teeth decay rapidly and fall out,
the eyelids are hideously inAamed. A
scratch or an abrasion of the skin be-
comes an unbeatable sore.
Later on, when nerves and muscles
become affected by the poison in the
blood, the eyeballs are drawn into
obique positions, and take on a dim
and bleared Appearance. The Joints,
especially the knee and the wrist, be
come semi-paralyzed, and the whole
form is gradually bent and contorted.

PEAR BLIGHT,

Pear blight is due to the attacks Of
microscopic parasite. 1t is purely
local affection. 1t does not enter
into the sap circulation of the tree .
~ has no effect upon the tree beyond
tho parts attacked; it never extends
through the organs or sap of the tree
from the effected parts to other Dor.
tions of the tree, but develops only
by the extension Of the local election /:
the microbes work in tho inner bari,
only, and they contlnne to work until
sometimes large areas are involved
Dut they do not pass from one part of
the tree to another except by pushing
out through the inner bark from the
point OF first attack the injury lies
IN tue destruction of this inner bark.
Thus, by cutting off beyond the line
OF election the effected part, that
particular attack Is forever gotten rid
Of In handling blight intelligently
the above facts as to the nature of the
disease should be kept in mind, and
also the further fact, that the disease
enters the tree only through tender
growth and blossoms. The greatest
danger lies in the disease getting in
upon and destroying the trunk or
main branches; this can be prevented
by keeping them free from new
growth and small branches. BY keep.
ing the trunk and main branches free
from new growth by cutting off all
small laterals, twigs and spurs, the at
tacks will be confined to the terminal
branches, and can be kept in check
by removing those affected. The
most effective method known for pre-
venting the spread of blightis cutting
off and destroying the affected parts
as soon as signs of blight appear. C.

MANdEn wURTzEL FOR COW FEED.
The mangol wurtzel is n large, coarse
beet, which Outyields all the ordinary
kinds, and Ia therefore preferred IA
stock feed, because OF the greater
amount OF forage it will produce. But
its more important value as feed for
cows is in it's late.keeping qualities.
If covered with earth and kept from
air, it will DO in good condition for
feeding until fresh grass comes, which
is when it Is most needed. But there
ls little nutrition in these roots, and
they need extra grain feed to keep the

PRODUCING PROLIFIC LAYERS.

Experiments have been made to see
if the number of rows of corn on a cob
could not be increased with success.
The same meth which was pursued
with corn is applicable to poultry
breeding. For example, one starts
with fowls which lay one hundred and
twenty eggs each in year. Among
their descendants are some which lay
one hundred and fifty eggs per year,
and these are selected for breeding.
From these some are produced which
lay one hundred and seventy-fve eggs
per year, and from these, perhaps, the
two.hundred-egg- per-year hen is pro-
iduced. The problem is not quite as
simple with fowls as with corn, for it
is necessary to breed the males, as well
as the females, year after year, from
prolific layers, in order to succeed. If
one looks after the breeding OF the
females only, he may introduce on the
male side blood which is lacking in
proliicacy, and thus check every at
tempt at progress. 1t becomes neces-
sary, therefore, to breed the males
from hens which are varying in the
desired direction, and which show
cumulated variability in that direc-
ton. 1t is just as essential that the
male should be from hen which laid
one hundred and seventyfve eggs and
whose mother laid one hundred and
fifty eggs, if the two hundred-egg
bird is to be produced. Improvers of
laying fowls are too apt to forget this
and introduce males with little regard
to their breeding, and then wonder
why the prolifcacy of the flock does
not increase. Reliable Poultry Jour

WHEN TO TRANSPLANT.

A general answer to the query,
"Whenis the best time to transplant ?"
says Rural New Yorker, is in the fall
for more Southern States, in thespring
for cooler climates. The fact, is, how
ever, that it is not so much a question
of when to transplant as how to trans.
plant. We do not hesitate to trans.
plant in June, July, August or Septem-
Der, no matter what the weather may
be, and this, too, without cutting back
or removing a leaf. We must preserve
the roots without exposing them for
any length of time to the air or sun.
light. We must supply the roots with
all needed moisture until they take
hold" Of the soil of their new home.
That is all. See to it that the roots
are preserved from injury and that
they have all the water and shade re
quired until the removed plant has
evidently taken its new home.

WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD EXPORT HORSE.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD EXPORT HORSE.
In an address before the farmers
institute at Springfield, ILL.,, F. J.
Berry, the Chicago horse auctioneer,
classified horses suitable for foreign
trade as follows: /. Drivers and
coachers, which must be well bred, of
good color, from 49, to 16} hands,
with fine head and neck, plenty of
bone and substance, good knee action
and plenty of quality. They must be
good travellers, and if they have some
speed, all the better. This class of
horses has already advanced very
much in price. 2. The cab horse,

hands, a rugged but smooth made
horse, with bone and substance, and a
fair traveller. 3. The bus horse,
weighing 1900 to 1400 pounds, 16
hands, smooth, rugged, and one that
can move off at fair gait and shape
himself well in harness. 4. The draft
horse, which should weigh 1900 to
$500 pounds, rugged made, good bone,
and blocky built, with smooth finish
and first class draft horse in every
respect. 5. The American tIotter,
