A farmer of Connecticut has just
recovered damages from the town of
New Brighton, in that State, because
the sewage of that town so polluted a
stream flowing through his farm that
his COWS would not drink the water.
He was damaged, of course, and ought
to recover, So is every one livin |
on or near stream and depending on
it for water supply damaged by the
pollution of the stream higher up in
its course. When it is made more
costly to turn sewage into stream Of
running water than to treat it and
render it harmless on the land, living
streams will cease to be polluted, their
present double function of sewer and
water supply will be abandoned and
the, original purity of streams will
be iealously arded.-Philadelphia

disposed to pay the fisherman who had
accompanied him. This was the dia

"Sure, your honor, the boat'll be In

But what is generally given?"
"Well, your honor, some'll give two
shilllngs, and some eighteen pince. a
tailor'd be for giving eighteen pince."
How much the passenger gave is not
known, but surely he was not inclined
to be classed with stay-at-home tailors,
not accustomed to sport"

Pushing Our Horses.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has inaugurated an inquiry to ascer-
tain the demand for horses in foreign
countries, especially with reference to
the requirements of European Govern
ments for horses for their armies, and
has appointed Mr.. Charles Z. Stubbs,
of Denver, as special commissioner
to visit Europe and assist in collecting
data for bulletin on the subject.
Secretary Wilson takes the position
that with our cheap grasses and
grains the United States should sup
ply horses, as well as cattle, for the
rest of the world, and that we'll
directed efforts, as soon as the foreign
demand is known, will enable our
farmers and stockmen to control the
foreign markets. While our diplo.
matte and consular representative
have been instructed to cooperate
with Secretary Wilson in an investi-
CATION of the worlds markets for agri-
cultural products, and although the
Secretary of Agriculture has enlisted
the assistance of scientific societies
and commercial organizations as we'll
as individuals IN foreign countries
with view to obtaining the latest
and fullest information available con-
cerning agricultural subjects, the re-
suits up to date have not been entirely
satisfactory. 1t has been found nee
essary, whenever a thorough investi-
CATION is to be made along any par
ticular line, to select an expert for
that purpose and send him abroad.
The dependence of the agricultural in
dustries upon voluntary assistance
for important information concerning
foreign markets, and the inability of
the Secretary to direct the honorary
agents of his department in an inves-
tigation of any particular industry,
has caused him to recommend that
graduates of agricultural colleges and
other experts who are competent to
conduct scientific as we'll as COM
mercial inquiries in agricultural sub
jects be sent abroad as attaches at our
legations, especially those in Europe.
These attaches would not only keep
the department informed of agricul-
tural developments and progress in
their respective countries, but would
report upon the demands of the mar
kets and would be available for imme-
diate service in any investigation
which the Secretary of Agriculture
should deem of value to our agricul-
tural interests. The proposition has
received the Endorsement of the House
Committee on Agriculture, and may
be embodied in the Agricultural Ap-
preparation bill.

@ation concerning the peculiarities Of

Is based on a mistaken idea. A great
newspaper is far more than an individ.

passed far beyond the limits of single
personality.

and intelligent championship of the

More Weddings in the Country.

at is a very noticeable fact" said
Maj. Lusk, who is authority on the
question with reference to Hymen,
"that there are not as many city chaps
getting married nowadays as there are
country boys. In some instances the
country boy marries city girl, but not
very often. The city boy seldom, if
ever marrles country girl. OF course,
the city boy does not like to marry
where there is disparity Of minds,
for, as Dickens says, those people can
never live happy What do think is
the cause of it? Why, think the coun-
try boy is more economical with the
money he earns than the boy of the
city. He can do better on $25 a month
than boy reared in the city can with
$50. Then again, when the country boy
marrles he goes on tract of land given
him by his father or bought with hard
earned money.'-Jefferson City Cou-

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL,

The most easily digested meats are
cold mutton, mutton chops, venison,
sirloin, roast beef and chicken.
Green vegetables and good fruit
contain certain salts and acids which
may be called natures medicine.
A boon for vegetarians is peanut
butter, which surpasses the best dairy
butter in purity, and is found to be
especially well adapted for use in
grayies and for shortening. An ex-
sensive demand is expected.

the theory of Herr Gustav Wendt,
may be regarded as an electrical

other paramagnetic matter-or matter
assuming polarity under the influence
of the earth's magnetism-is continu-
ously drawn down from the higher re-
gions of the atmosphere, thus setting
up electric currents.
Medical authorities appear to be
becoming convinced of the efficacy of
alcohol, in the treatment of cancer.
1t is used in hypodermic injections,

The injections are repeated after five
to seven days. The cancer cells are

Best Shelter From Lightning.

Campbell Swinton says lightning is
most apt to strike projecting objects
for example, tree. On that prin-
ciple you ought to keep clear of trees,
just as you would keep clear of hay
rick. Similarly, if you are in fiat
space-take farmers feld-you
should make yourself as little an OBJ
iect as possible. If everything is
level, you yourself become the pro-
jective point which may attract the
lightning. Therefore, lie down flat on
the ground, or, even better, get into
hole.
ga person who took shelter in q
hole," Campbell Swinton continued,
would be absolutely safe, I should
think. Even if lightning were to strike
the ground near by, its power would
scatter so much that he would hardly
be likely to come to harm. Then, if
you are in house while thunder
storm is raging, the safest shelter
would be in the cellar-that is, far
away from the objective parts of the
building. For myself, 1 am rather
skeptical how many folks would care
to crawl into hole or plunge into a
cellar. You see, the risk to life and
limb in England from lightning isvery
small indeed-so small that the aver
age man would run it rather than dis
turb himself"
81 suppose the idea which you have
indicated to me explains the damage
that factory chimneys and the Chin
neys of dwelling houses occasionally
sustain from lightning?"
"Just so. They are point of at
traction. Not only that, but there
must be an additional attraction in the
column of warm air which arises from
chimney when fire is burning be-
meath it. 1 once saw chimney
struck by lightning, and smoke had
been issuing from it. There were
various neighboring chimneys, but, so
far as could make out, none of them
was active, The incident occurred
while 1 was sitting in the Wellington
Club, and the damaged chimney
belonged to house on the other side

Ny ideal barnyard, and one which
1 have used for several years, adioins
the cattle and horse barns, and is two
feet deeper in the centre than on the
sides, writes r. Bingham, of New Jer-
sey. The depression is large enough
to hold the liquid excrement and the
water after q rainfall without over
flowing. In this I place cuttings of
weeds, grass, tender shrubs and
briars from the roadside, along fences,
bitches and waste places, leaves and
shade trees, potato, tomato, bean and
pea vines, corn stubs, old papers, rags,
cuttings of fruit and vegetables, dead
poultry, dead dogs. Useless and dead
horses and cattle are worth more than
fertilizer manufacturers pay for them.
When buried in the heap and covered
with horse manure or soil, offensive
odors are absorbed. Sweepings from
macadam or Telford roads, the pull
verized rock from the new magnet
iron process, may add to our fertiliz-
ing material.
- When vines, stubs, etc., or crops
sown for the purpose are piowed in
where they grew, the poor spots in
the field get the least benefit and the
rich places the most, but when put
ting on compost we reverse the order.
10 offset the cost of transportation to
and from the compost heap, we have
better plowing and working. Weed
seeds and insect pests which would
live over in the field are drowned,
crushed or germinated to die in the
compost. The vegetable matter is
worth, at fertilizer prices, about five
to eight dollars per dry ton, and clean
roadsides and farm as much more, so
that it doubly pays to keep a ompost
heap.
The ground should first be plowed
and the compost spread on and mixed
with the surface soil. In taking out
compost, commence at the highest
corner and throw back all coarse ma
terial for new heap. Working the
fine compost in the surface soil gives
to the rootlets the food as the rain dis
solves it. 1t also serves as a mulch in
conserving moisture by preventing
rapid evaporation; but coarse material
plowed in deeply prevents the rise of
capillary moisture during dry weather
and increases the injury from drouth.
The general practice in market garden
ing is to open furrows and place the
manure in, and plant seeds or set
plants on or above the manure. Be
lieving this to be wrong, I planted
peas and potatoes in the burrows and
set plants in the soil, with the manure
above the seed and rootlets, and had
from ten to thirty per cent more
product with the manure above. The
dryer the season, the greater the diff
ference. By this method I have
cleaner and more fertile farms, better
crops, fewer weeds and insect pests, a
better reputation and peaceful home.

the different foreign horse markets,
especially the requirements and regu-
lations controlling Sue purchase of
horses for European armies, those
that are most in demand, the present
source of supply and the prevailing
prices. 1t is his purpose to make the
inquiry thorough in every particular
and present such information to our
breeders and farmers generally as will
enable them to determine intelligently
where it will be to their advantage to
compete for foreign market. Eu-
ropean Governments send agents
abroad every year to purchase horses
for their cavalry and artillery service.
These agents generally visit the United
States, but some have of late years
turned their attention to the Argen-
tine Republic with Indifferent success.
The complaint generally heard con-
cerning the horses of the United
States does not refer to their breed,
size or price, but to the refusal or
neglect of our stock-growers to rre-
pare for the demands. Generally they
make no effort to secure the trade, and
this indifference has diverted the
agents at times to other horse-raising
countries. The Secretary believes that
when our breeders understand the
foreign demand and are instructed
how the markets can be best reached
and controlled the large profits will
induce them to compete for the trade.
