People gradually begin to discover the

ferred upon an admiral gives the happy
possessor the right to ask "free gratis for

The varue of a Good Spring.

A spring of pure water on any farm
adds at least hundred dollars to it's
value, and if near city it is worth
much more. Often such springs can be
found in hillsides by digging six or
eight feet, especially if the soil shows
springy places during winter and
spring. If the spring is higher than
the house it can be conducted into the
kitchen by force of gravity, and the
water can be turned off or on as the
housewife may desire. There are
doubtless hundreds, and possibly thou
sands, of farms in New England where
the best pure water can be conducted
into the house at slight expense. If
the water has to be lifted hydraulic
ram will force the water up hill. This
costs somewhat more, but it will gen.
orally pay.-American Cultivator.

the price of the fuel is less than 10

eight gallons an hour, or less than 900
gallons day of "a hours. The fuel
item then is less than $40 for covering

less than 80 cents an acre. If used for

This pumping plant, destined to

the drive most pleasant, though dusty.

Italy,s Cotton Manufactures.

The growth Of the cotton industry in
Lombardy, according to consular re-
ports, has been remarkable-that is,
the number of spindles in Italy is stat
ed to be nearly 1900, 900; also some
10000 power looms, besides very
large number of hand looms; and of all
these about half are credited to Lom-
hardy, and, as large proportion of
the spinning mills work day and night,
the spindles may be calculated as
equivalent to 100000 in countries
where only day work prevails. All
kinds of raw cotton are used, but chiefly
Indian and American of medium quail
ity. Until recently the yarns were
almost entirely confined to the lower
counts, even the general average being
2O's to 22's, but many spinners are
turning their attention to the finer
counts, which have hitherto been i'm
ported from Switzerland and England,
while no insuperable difficulty has been
encountered either on account of labor
or the climate. Calico printing has
also become business of considerable
importance and the amount is con-
siderable, both of yarns and cloth,
which is now sent to Tunis, the Lev
ant, South America aud the Balkan
States.

First Maker of Luicifer..

Sir Isaac Holden, who recently died
in England at an advanced age was
famous in science. and invention. He
was the son of a collier, but his inven-
tion and enterprise brought him a
splendid fortune. He retired from
parliament in 1895. He has the repu-
tation of having, among other useful in
ventions, been the first man to make
lucifer matches. Sir Isaac had a
method. of his own in regard to eating
and drinking. For breakfast he par
took of baked apple, one orange, a
bunch of grapes and a biscuit made
from banana flour. His midday meal
consisted of very little beef or mutton,
with now and again small cupful of
soup. If he partook of fish, he had so
much less of meat. For supper he
practically repeated his breakfast menu.
"After the system has been built up,
and the period of manhood reached, all
starch foods should be banished from
the human diet" Such was the creed
of this good, quaint old man and gen.
erous philanthropist. An absolute
teetotaler he was not, and Yorkshire
will be as proud of him as it was of Sir
Tatton Sykes, who lived on ale and
apple pie. Sir Isaac's son Angus in
herits the title. He represents the
Buckrose division of Yorkshire in Par

Which is really best, the white egg or

medium size? There is much argu-
ment in the poultry papers of late, try

the "best DOZENS at the shows are

judging were based on uniformity of
color and uniformity of size, just far

might be considered proven. But too
often the eggs are diversified double

Pure Drinking Mater.

1t is well known that alum will re-
move organic and other matters from
water, so as to render it clear and pure;
but it is now said that f1uoride is su-
perior to alum for this purpose. One
ounce of f1uoride is used to every 1000
gallons of water. After all, the best
purifier is natures own. The minute
organisms known as bacteria are the
chief causes of the impurity of drinking
water. These invisible creatures have
to live as well as their larger brethren,
and they must eat to live AS soon as
they have eaten all in the water that
there is to feed on, they die. Dr.. Frank
land has recently stated, from his re-
cent examination of water stored for
two weeks, that ii seems as pure and
free from bacteria life as If it had been
passed through the best of filters; but
1t seems strange that this should have
SO recently come under DR.. FrankIands S
experience. Every one knows that
there is no purer or better water in the
world than that which is supplied to
seafaring people. Almost any kind of
water stored away in ships tank be-
comes absolutely pure after the vessel
has been few weeks at sea. This is
usually ascribed in popular language
to fermentation, but there Is really
nothing to ferment; it is simply that the
bacteria have eaten everything in the
water there is to eat, and then died of
arvation.-Meehan's Monthly.

Nitrate of Soda.

Nitrate of soda is seldom used in the
compounding of the fertilizers sold in
Ohio, for the reason that much cheap
er source of nitrogen is found in the
refuse of the Western slaughter houses.
Moreover, nitrate of soda is an easily
soluble salt, and it is doubtful whether
it is advisable to use it in the fall, at
which time most fertilizers are applied
in Ohio. In our experiments it is ap-
piled only in the spring, after growth
has begun in the case of wheat, or at
the time of planting in the case of
spring crops. If sown on wheat about
the middle of April and timely rain
follows, the effect of the nitrate will
be conspicuously manifest in short
time.
In effectiveness dried blood stands
below nitrate of soda, but it is probably
preferable to nitrate of soda for fall
use because it's nitrogen is in less
easily soluble form than that of nitrate
of soda.-Ohio Station Bulletin.
