seed thus sown will be washed away. un-

overfowed but strong current is run

in water. and it is pretty sure as it
touches the moist earth to be imbeddcd
in it and ready to grow. On spring grain.
of course, this early seeding is not pos
sible, for the surface must at least be
dry enough to cultivate, and snow rare

Drilling Manure with Seeds.

Most of the manures used for drilling
with the seed are mineral. The potash
and salt manures act directly as solvents
of soil fertility, thus increasing the cf-
fectiycness of the particles of manure
or vegetable matter with which they
come in contact. Phosphate manures are
generally prepared by use Of sulphuric
acid, and this in the soil also makes ma
nure more effective. But there is an
other reason why close contact of the fer
tilizer with the seed makes the young
plant stronger. AS the seed gcrmina ties,
some carbonic acid gas is always given
off, which enables the roots as they start
to use whatever manures they come in
contact with. Thus the seed with fer
tilizcr drilled beside it gets a vigorous
start and the roots of the crop push
farther OH every side than they would
otherwise do,

quantities it stimulates fermentation,

BABY LIVING IN AN INCUBATOR
Boston Wee One Arrives Unexpectedly

~
Life i'll an incubator seems quite the
thing now for delicately born infants. \
little stranger arrived somewhat unex-
pectedly in Fields Corner household at
Boston the other morning. Dr. Hen
ry C. Towle, who was summoned, agreed
with the nurse that the only chance for
the fragile little one was to put her in
an incubator, and so one was procured
and she was forthwith deposited in a
soft cotton nest. with only her wee face
exposed. She weighed but two and one
half pounds when born, but in the con-
genial atmosphere of the incubator she
has gained half pound and shows ev-
cry disposition to grow into 4 luSty.

long. but her features are perfect and
the little body is we'll formed.
The incu bator is an oblong cabinet made
of wood, about three feet high. two and
one-half feet long and twenty inches

into three compartments. The upper one
has glass roof opening on hinges to per-
nit the attendants to feed the little one

little one lies in her coy nest. The
middle chamber is filled with hot water,
which supplies the heat for the upper
compartment. and to the lower one.
which acts as a sort of boiler, the gas jet

At first one teaspoonful of sterilzed
milk was given every hour, but the
amount has now been increased to two

Economy Of Hornless Cows.

Not as much is said recently about de-
horning cows that have been allowed to
grow to maturity with these useless and
cause dehorning the calves by applying
caustic potash to the places where the
horns start has made dehorning needless
There is not only freedom from danger
to attendants from COWS without horns,
but there is much greater economy in
stabling them. Without horns number
may be put together i'll loose stalls, with
much greater freedom of movement than
is possible when the head is confined i'll

fined, the horn may easily put out an eye

New Uses for Greenllo use s.

The decreased cost of constructing and
managing greenhouses is leading to a
great multiplication of their number,
and, as another result, of the uses to
which they are put. a Philadelphia
owner of numerous greenhouses, for
which he could not find profitable use,
devoted several to the growing of pota-
toes. OF course in rich soil and with
abundant warmth and moisture, the crop
was very large. He had homegrown po-
tatoes as early as they could be brought
from the South, and made fair profit
by selling at the same price per peck as
new potatoes brought per bushel few
weeks later.

REPLACE Hens with pullets.

1t is from young fowls that most eggs
come and most profit is made. Pullets
Of last years growth will lay more the
coming six months than in any other
equal length of time during their lives:
1t is true that the 2-year.old hens will
produce eggs best for breeding, but be-
yond this age, except with the very ch9!c-
est fowls, there is greater profit to dis
pose of them and replace with pullets::
There is some doubt whether the very old
fowl kept because choice bred will pro-
duce as good pullets for laying as they
would from eggs laid! when at their best
for egg production.

Phosphate for Timothy.

The wheat plant belongs to the family
of grasses, and all these need phosphate
general welfare of the plant. Whenever
timothy is sown with any grain, esRe-
cially in the fall. no small part of the
phosphate used for the grain crop goes
into the subsequent crop of grass. The
grain may retard the timothy growth the
first year. but the phosphate will show in
the growth of grass for several seasons.
Timothy roots do not run far. When
the phosphate is applied with the drill, as
it always should be. the grass growth
will show the drill mark as long as the
land remains seeded.

Feeding for Strength.

1t is not accidental that oats, the grain
which. next to whole wheat, is best for
furnishing growth to the muscles. should
have always been the fayorite food for
horses. They arc better than wheat for
all animals except man. and as good also
for man, if properly prepared. 1t is the
oats superior for horse feed, as the hull
distends the nutrimcnt and prevents it
from compacting and heating in the
stomach. Dat grain not only contains a
large amount of heterogeneous nutriment,
but it has besides a certain stimulative
substance, which is peculiar to the oat.

Casting Copper Pure.

The current issue of the Electrical Re
view contains the announcement of dis
covery in the art of casting copper Cop
per is ordinarily cast by the use of al
Toys. 1t is stated that the new metal
which is known as NJ. 8. copper, is cas-
pure. Foundrymen have heretofore con
sidered this an impossibility.
1t is also stated that the new meta
possesses an additional tensile strength
of 33 1-3 per cent. and that a mucl
higher percentage of elasticity has beer
developed, and that the new metal ha!
a conductivity of 95 per cent. com
pared with the best rolled copper. Thi!
will cause distinct changes in the build
ing Of dynamos, motors, railway and telc
graphic apparatus, because the new cop
per is believed to carry the same amount
of current with one-third the amount OF
metal. Wire made of it will have &
greater strength and conductivity thar
the ordinary copper Wire.
Mr.. Edison says he accounts for the
evident change i'll the atomic structure OF
the metal by the theory that the shape
of the crystals has been altered, so that
their lines are parallel. and that the
molecules are thus brought closer togeth
err and into more intimate contact with
each other. 1t is understood that MIR
Edison is interested in the development
of this metal. and that it will be manu-
featured under his supervision at his
MenlO Park works.
