one-half of the usual amount Of lathe
work engraving. The purpose of this
modification is twofold. It win show
the distinctive fiber in the paper much
more plainly, and the eye in examin-
ing a bill will be less confused.
One of the largest items of ezpendi-,
ture in the Treasury department is for
colored inks used in printing the pa
per money, revenue stamps and post
age stamps. Nearly 100000 pounds
of these are required annually. The
materials are bought in the shape Of
dry colors, which are mixed with line
seed oil. The colors must be the very
finest, and some of them, particularly
red. are very costly. They reach the
Bureau of Engraving in the form of
fine powders put in barrels, and there
are prescribed formulas for the mix
lures required for various purposes.
For the faces of the treasury notes and
certificates for example some Prussian
blue is added to the black powder to
give brightness to the black ink The
mixture is thoroughly stirred and stiff
ed, after which it is combined with
linseed oil and fed to a machine with
steel rollers. The machine grinds 1t.
and finally elects it as a beautiful,
smooth printing ink. 1t is poured into
iron buckets, which are labeled Legal
Tender" this being the technical name
for the particular preparation de-
scribed.
For the brown backs Of the national
bank notes the mixture is composed Of
Venetian red, orange mineral, Vermil-
ion-the best quality from quicksilver
ore-and some black. The gold figures
on the faces of the gold certificates ara
Of chrome yellow, vermilion and white
lead; but the treasury is not printing
any gold certificates nowadays. The
most important color used is chrome
green, 100000 pounds of which are
used annually for the greenbacks
alone. 1t is a beautiful emerald pow
der. All the mixtures are converted
into ink in the same way, with linseed
oil. Every twelvemonth the treasury
usess50,O0O pounds of Paris white, s.
900 pounds of hard black, 5000
pounds of soft black, $500 pounds Of
vermilion, $500 pounds of Venetian

the ink required for the postage
stamps. The money is all printed by
hand, and each printer gets every
morning his days allowance of it, for
every bit of which he is obliged to ac-
count.
The fiber paper is to be retained in
the new currency. It is deemed an eX-
ira, safeguard against counterfeiting,
though criminals have found several.
ways of getting over the difficulty.

In an address to swine breeders L.
A. Davis said: Always guard care
fully the health Of your hogs. Provide
fresh beds once a week, using disiu-
fectants each time around the sleeping
quarters, troughs and adjacent
grounds. Airslacked lime and carbolic
acid are good disinfectants. Close
study and observation has led me to
believe that we can produce pork Of the
best quality at great deal less cost
than the average farmer has been do
ing, and at the same time greatly re-
ducing the risk Of loss from disease,
One way to reduce the cost of pork is
by reducing the time to produce. A
thrifty pig that will weigh two hundred
pounds gross, with meat we'll marked
with lean, is the most desirable for the
market of the world to-day; and with a
good breed Of hogs, mature mothers,
proper care during pregnancy and care
full treatment Of pigs, this weight can
be produced at six months. Keep the
pigs growing from start to finish. To
make the most Of the SOW, let her pro-
duce two filters year, prefer March
and September for narrowing times.
Since some argue that fall pigs do not
pay, let me give one illustration: About
the 10th of last October I had SOW
to farrow a litter of ten pigs; no spe-
cial care was given them, as the wealth
er was pleasant, and when the pigs
were about seven weeks old they were
turned into the artichoke field with the
SOW, where they were allowed to ru1
with other hogs all winter, except when
very muddy they were shut of, and
when the ground was hard frozen they
were fed some corn"

JUST A FAMILY AFFAIR.
The Umpire of the Baseban Game Go
Everybody Into Trouble.

The Umpire of the Baseball Game Go
Everybody Into Trouble.
''Of course used to play base ball, ;"
declared the old resident to the De-
troit Free Press man. very few
healthy men have grown UP in the
last forty years without indulging
more or less in the national sport and
I'm convinced that we're a harder peo-
pie for having adopted it. But 1t has
it's drawbacks and I'll be content for
the rest of my days just to read about
some of the most interesting games,
without making comments or Offering
an opinion. Last fall we had our nams
lily reunion. We are large relation
ship and nearly a hundred were pres
ent at the gathering. After few of
the patriarchs had made their
speeches, telling stories and cracking
jokes that we hear every year, soma
of the young and middle-aged men
proposed a game of baseball. My
blood warmed right UP and l was as
eager to play as was my grandson, but
they let me down by choosing me for
umpire. I was disappointed, but be-
ing rather an influential member of
the tribe accepted the responsibility,
giving fair notice that there should
be no appeal from my decisions. All
went merrily enough till called one
of my big nephews out on foul
bound. He was SO mad that he could
do nothing but sputter at first, but he
finally got out the announcement that
l was about as unmitigated an old
chump as it had ever been his fortune
to encounter. l insisted at first on
having him put off the grounds, but
there were difficulties connected with
this because of the backing that rail-
lied to his support. 1 dropped the mat
ter after giving him and his supporters
a piece of my mind. A few minutes
later 1 called a little grandson out for
knocking the ball over the fence. He
talked so recklessly about the matter
that l took him over my knee. His
mther interfered, there was about as
lively a five minutes as you ever saw,
the game broke up and next year there
will be no reunion"

1t Is Of NO account. It is an easy mat.
ter to estimate the number Of bushels
OF grain In any enclosure, and then It
is not difficult task to calculate how
many pounds Of bisulphide should be
applied. If 1t is desired to fumigate
empty bins, etc., one pound Of the,
chemical should be used for every 1000.
cubic feet of air space. Bisulphide OF
carbon is not expensive, and can be
bought In twenty-five and ffty-pound
cans at ten cents per pound, or In less
quantities at little more per pound.
While in Dorchester county a few
weeks ago was told that many per-
sons in that section covered the bot
toms Of their granaFies or bins with
Mexican tea or American wormsesd
(Chenopodium ambrosioides) before
the grain was stored. This weed is
known in that county as Jerusalem
oak, and has a very peculiar odor, espe-
cially when dry. It is supposed that
the moth is kept from the grain by the
odor that is emitted.

Selling Fresh Eggs.

It Is a fact that nine-tenths of the
residents of cities do not know where
to buy strictly fresh eggs, says Amer
lean Poultry Keeper. This is no doubt
q strange assertion to make in the
face Of the fact that thousands Of
dozens of fresh eggs are sold in this
country every day, and especially when
the purchaser gets them from IAN old
farmer" But even the old farmer is
not always any wiser than the Gus
toner, allowing for producing them
himself with the aid of his hens, but
some old farmers buy eggs OF bring
them to market for their neighbors.
There is a great deal of faith" in buy
ing eggs, and much depends on con
fidence" and from whom they are pur-
chased. A party who had large flock
supplied his brother in the city. Soon
the brothers next door neighbor re-
quested that he be supplied, and soon
after several other neighbors desired
a like favor. All of them were willing
to pay extra for the eggs, as they had
confidence in the one who sold them.
He was compelled to refuse some of
the would-be customers, from lack Of
supply, which only made his eggs the
more desirable. Now, the market was
amply supplied with fresh" eggs, but
that fact did not alter the circum-
stances so far as he was concerned.
Cannot the readers learn a valuable
lesson from this experience?

Women HorticnItnrIat..

Women are working successfully IN
almost every field. Vick's Magazine
states that according to the census OF
1890 there were 312 commercial green
houses, or about one in fifteen, owned
and managed by women. We have a
personal acquaintance with several
women who are successful retail for
lists. Other women, to our knowledge,
are making a success Of raising car
nations and other flowers for the
wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business OF raising and
selling flowers is beset by much care
and labor that do not come under the
head Of poetry. And yet nearly all
women florists that we have met were
led into the business because they first
of all loved flowers. 1t adds to the de-
light and success Of any occupation il
one has a love therefor. There is no
question that, as a rule, women have a
greater fondness than men for flowers.
Why, therefore, should they not en-
gage in growing and handling them for
profit? The rougher work about flower
raising, such as the care of greenhouse
furnaces, the handling Of soil and ma
nure and the like, can easily be done
by men who work for moderate wages.
II women are successful as florists they
are equally so as raisers Of vegetables
and smaller fruits, especially strawber-
ries; they direct the rOugher work, help
to prepare the produce for customers,
and perhaps take in hand the selling,
thus keeping closely in touch with the
state of the market. Generally speak
ing, we think that the raising of straw
berries near our best markets is further
from being overdone than that of al
most any other kind of produce. The
consumption is enormous and fresh
fruit brought quickly from the fields,
without a large distance intervening,
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much of the work Of
picking and handling small fruits is
suited to be done by women.

that person is healthy as long as his

Potash.-Sandy soils are always de-
ficient in potash. Even if they had this
mineral they have usually so little
vegetable matter that the potash forms
an insoluble compound, by uniting
with the sand. The potash in caustic
ashes dissolve the silicate of potash,
and also helps itself until its caustic
properties are lost. But old leached
ashes are often quite as beneficial to
sandy soils as are unleached. They al
ways contain some potash and some
phosphate. which the water used for
teaching would not dissolve. But they
also usually contain some ammonia.
