Economical Use of Water Power.

One of the neatest and most econo-
mical power plants in the country is
constructed on plan furnished by a
practical farmer. There is good
spring on his premises, but it lays too
low to be available for his dwelling
ard farm buildings. The city water
pipe passes his door and this has
been tapped to furnish water power.
A stream not larger than an ordinary
knitting needle turns little motor
that operates small pump, .he con-
tinual working of which fills tank
that furnishes water for the entire es-
tablishment. When q small amount
of water is used and the tank fills to
a certain line there is an automatic
shut-off that stops the water. Re-
newed use allows the valve to open,
when the pump again begins working.
One farmer has most admirable ar
rangement for water supply based on
this principle. An enormous pipe of
iron is placed upon end in deep hole
prepared to receive it. The bottom of
this is Portland cement and through
this floor pipes pass out through whish
the water is furnished to the build
ings. One length of this pipe in en-
tirely below the ground and is walled
up with stone and cement, while
above the ground is another length of
pipe similarly protected by stone
caseing. Small steps in the wall give
access to the top of the pipe, which is
closely covered. These lengths of
pipe are each twelve feet long and
about six feet iu diameter, and are
placed ON an elevation some distance
above the farm buildings. The city
water furnishes the power for pump
ing, and the tank is ample to supply
not only the necessary water for farm
and domestic use, but also the power
required in the barns and dairy, cut
ting feed, working the churn and the
like. The cost of such an arrange
ment is inconsiderable when its value
as a saving in labor is taken into ac
count. New York Ledger.

Freedom from lice and plenty of
range will make the growing chicks
hump" themselves these days.
The Poultry Messenger advises
putting away some second growth
clover for feeding hens in winter.
The sooner you are rid of all the
old stock except those intended for
next seasons breeders, the better.
Some hens do not possess the egg
laying habit and no system of feeding
will make good layers of such hens.
Be careful how the new grain is
fed. 1t is liable to produce cases Of
what you will probably call cholera.
Pure bred fowls, first, last, and all
the time. The breed does not matter
so much, provided you are satisfied
with it.
Hens that are permitted to range all
summer will not lay as many eggs rs
those in reasonable confinement and
properly fed.
Give as much of a variety as posi-
BILE. Young chicks soon tire of the
best of feed if confined to it for any
great length Of time.
That soft feal that stands over
from morning till night is not just the
thing for the next feed. 1t won't
hurt the hogs, however.
Too much young stock is used for
breeding purposes. The young chicks
will be harder and make larger fowls
if from two-year- stock.

REFLECTED GLORY.

She used to smile upon me,
But she doesn't any more;
She holds her head much higher
Than she ever did before.
She regards me as n being
OF n lower sphere to-day,
For her cousin fought with Dewey
When he took Manila bay.
She used to sit and listen
To the thrilling tales l told;
She used to look upon me
AS ar ong the brave and bold.
But I've ceased to interest her;
She looks down on me to-day,
For her cousin was with Dewey
When he took Manila bay.
Oh, wish her valiant cousin
We're in Van Diemen's Land
And that had been with Dewey
To pitch in and take hand.
Ah, her manners cold and distant,
And her glances seem to say,
"you were not out there with Dewey
When he took Manila bay."

of muriatic acid. The acid will dis
solve the lime, while it will dissolve
very little else from the mass. Wash
the earth with clear water several
times, take the remainder, dry and
weigh it, and the loss will be carbonate
of lime. This is but rude expert
ment, but near enough for practical
purposes.

tains twenty per cent. of dark, de-
cayed vegetable matter Such soils
are common in low, swampy places.
The quantity of peat may be deter
mined by burning out the vegetable
matter and ascertaining the loss of
weight. FLORIDA Farmer.

Classification of Soils.

l. Sandy soil: such as has at least
seventy-fve per cent. of sand. The
quantity of sand may be determined
with considerable accuracy by very
simple means. Dry and weigh a
pound of soil, and put it into n vessel
which will hold gallon or two of
water. Pour clean water over it and
stir it up thoroughly, then pour the
water gradually off. The sand will
sink on account of its weight. By re-
peating the washing with portions of
clear water, until the water passes OFF
clear, the sand alone will be left and
may be dried and weighed, and the
quantity of sand in pound of soil
determined.
2. A sandy loan is soil which con-
tains fifty to seventy-five per cent. of
sand, which may be separated and
determined as above.
3. A clay loan has twenty five to
fifty per cent. of sand, and the re-
mainder chiefly clay.
4. A clay soil has less than twenty
five per cent. of sand, the remainder
chiefly clay. The dark red clay soils
have a large per cent of oxide of
iron.
5. Any soil containing ten per cent.
of lime or more may be considered a
limy or calcareous soil, whether the
remainder be clay or sand, or both.
To determine the amount of carbonate
of lime in the soil, heat two ounces of
well dried soil on piece of sheet iron
or on an iron ladle till the vegetable
matter is burnt out. Then pour over
it pint of water and add fluid ounce

Pasturing Pigs on stubble Fields.

When grain is harvested some neces-
sarily escapes the reaper and is usually
lost. While the amountmay hardly be
sufficient to make it profitable to fol-
low the reaper with a rake, the scat
tered grain may be pro6tably utilized
by turning pigs or other stock into the
stubble fields, and as matter of fact
the custom of pasturing stock on such
fields is quite common in many re-
gions.
Some interesting experiments have
recently been made at the Montana
Station to learn the value of this as
compared with other methods of feed
ing. Forty-one pigs from six to nine
months old were allowed the run OF
barley, wheat, and pea stubble fields
of IS, 10.44 and 1913 acres respec-
lively. For some time before the test
they had been pastured on alfalfa and
fed one pound of cracked barley per
head daily. For ten weeks Immediately
preceding the test they made a daily
average gain OF 042 pound per head.
While pastured on the stubble fields
they were given no grain in addition
to what they could find except on
stormy days. The grain thus fed
amounted to 24.1 pounds in the five
weeks of the test.
During this time the pigs made a
gain Of 22.S pounds per head, or 17.5
pounds, deducting the amount which
it was calculated they gained from the
grain fed during stormy weather. On
the supposition that AS pounds of
grain are required to produce pound
of pork, the forty-one pigs gathered
322S.75 pounds of grain, which other
wise would have been lost. The har-
vesting had been done in the usual
manner, and in the Investigator s
opinion the amount of peas and grain
remaining in the field did not exceed
that left in the stubble fields on the
average farm. The scattered grain
could not have been saved in any other
way, and represents clear profit.
The grain saved from the stubble
fields by these pigs was not all that
could have been gathered if they had
remained in the fields longer time.
Seven brood sows were afterwards
pastured during the winter on the sta
ton stubble fields, which included a
twenty-four acre oat field in addition
to those mentioned above. They were
given no food in addition to what they
could gather except kitchen slops and
small grain ration on stormy days.
The sows frequently rooted down
through six inches of snow and found
sufficient grain to keep them in good
condition throughout the entire
winter.
1t is stated in recent communica-
tion from the Montana Station that
several brood sows have been pas
tured during the past season on stub
bic fields without receiving any grain
in addition, and that they are in fair
condition. They had, in addition to
the grain stubble fields, the range of
clover, alfalfa and timothy meadows,
and the gleanings of fields where root
crops had been raised. The manure
from granted stock, which was
spead upon the fields, also furnished
some grain.
