FALL RIVER, MASS. August 6.--The
movement which was begun here last
month. and which had for It's purpose tho
closing Of twenty-five or thirty OF the

and voted TO abandon the attempt to
agree on general curtallment policy.
In view OF the decision not TO push the
agreement, nearly all the mills viii con-

stop independently for a time.
About 10000 pieces OF cloth were dis
posed OF here this week. thereby consid-
erably lessening the surplus on hand.

BEES IN THE ORCHARD.

Many fruit growers do not thorough ly appreciate the value of bees in an orchard, or there would be more orch ards with bees in them. Their value in an orchard was demonstrated in a most practical way at the Oregon ex- pertinent station some years ago. A few peach trees were forced into bloOn, in November, and a colony of bees was placed in the house when the trees be- gan to bloom. For several days. how ever, a heavy fog prevented the bees from working; although the flowers were open, not a bee was seen upon them. The first bright day the bees set to work at once, and remained at work so long as there was anything for them. The result was that not a peach dropped at the stoning season. the time all unfertile fruit falls. The crop was so heavy that it had to be thinned out AS d check test. one tree was protected so that not a bee could get to it. On this tree all the fruit dropped at the stoning period. Bees and other in- sects have duty to perform in the or chard, for which there is no substitute provided. This is the distribution o1 the pollen from flower to flower and from tree to tree. They insure success in the orchard, and every fruit grower should encourage the bees in their work by not spraying, or doing any thing that would be injurious to the bees while the trees are in full bloom |-MassaChusetts PlOughman.

PUMPING WATER.

It is interesting to get at the actual lifting power of a windmill. The fol- lowing computations have been made, with wind at ten miles per hour: To pr oduce one horse power effective lift the windmill must measure not less thsn twenty-five feet in diameter.
 With on excellent pump. well geared and all connections made to avoid un- due friction, it would be possible to raise one miners. inch a little less than 300 feet with one effective horse power, or ten miners inches thirty feet. The disappointing feature in a windmill Is that the wind does not often blow ten miles an hour, and sometimes when water Is most desirable it doesn't blow at all
 Following is an actual experience in Los Angeles county. extending over two years: Amount pumped, eighty mlner's inches; lift less than thirty feet; fuel, ts per day; labor, 8; time thls year, 300 days; total cost, besides interest on plant and repairs, $500, or $41,25 per miners inch This is in :erest on less than $7O0 per miners inch, which Is very cheap water in the region where this pump is operating, and where the average amount deliv- cred is about one-third of the amount paid for on account of low water in the tunnel and open creek from which bulk of the water is derived-Los Angeles Times.

A PAYING PROFESSION.

There is no profession that holds Cut such tempting allGrements to the youth of today as that of the metal lurglst and mining expert" said MT. D. C. Downs of San Francisco Last year, of the class of about a dozen who were graduated at the school of mines In the University of California, at least ten have found excellent situations
 with big salaries. Our universities cannot turn out expert mining engi- neers fast enough for the demand. When I was in London last summer an English scientist told me that there would be strong demand for years for competent men, and added that England kept the United States drain ed of its best mining talent. They are wanted in South Africa, in Aus tralia, New Zealand, in fact all over the world, and they can get higher pay than doctors, lawyers or any other class of professional men.

DEEP MINING.

Since the system of liQuifying air has been simplified and cheapened its use in an industrial way have been widely discussed. In no way is it likely to prove more beneficial than in deep mining, where heat must be overcome by artificial means and the pumping in of sufficient supplies of fresh air becomes a problem.
 With ample supplies of liquid air, cheaply manufactured, the tempera- ture of the deepest mine can be satis- factorily regulated, the evaporation of this wonderful cooling medium sup plying necessary oxygen to purify the air. The problem of following ore veins into the bowels of the earth will be solved by liquified air. and sub-ter- restial existence will take on a new aspect. Deep mining under the new conditions promised by science will mean a thorough test of mineral veins to depth now undreamed of by man. The imagination cannot grasp the pos abilities of liquified air.-Mining World.

WATER FOR IRRIGATING.

In November, 1894, I built a wind mill similar to what is called Jumbo, adding some improvements, says John Tannahill, in Orange Judd Farmer. I now have the cheapest and most DOW erful mill in northern Nebraska for pumping water, and it cost, two 6-inch pumps included, only $10O This was p;iid for the material, no account being taken of the work required to build It. My mill is never out of order, and is always ready for use My reservoir Is !0x100 feet and feet deep. During the months of December, 1894, and January and February, 1895, I let out of the reservoir GA feet of water, the seepage during that time amounting to 7k feet, which was equal to 2,674,OO0 gallons. At the end of ten months there was no seepage from the reser- volr, but during the dryest weather last summer the evaporation amounted to one-fourth of an inch each day.
 During the fall of 1894 19O apple trees in my orchard yielded but twenty
