Temperature OF Boiling Water.

Water .boils at different tempera-
lures. according to the elevation above
the sea level. In London water boils
practically at 212 degrees F.; at
Munich, in Germany, at 209a degrees;
at the City of Mexico, in Mexico, at 200
degrees; and in the Himalayas, at an
elevation of $4,000 feet above the level
of the sea, at $50 degrees. These diff
ferences are caused by the varying
pressure of the atmosphere at these
points. In London the whole weight of
the air has to be overcome. In Mexico,
1000 feet above the sea, there is 1000
feet less of atmosphere to be rsisted
consequently less heat is required. and
boiling takes place at a lower tempera'

Farm Notes.

An excellent mode of feeding linseeE
meal to a horse is to mix half a pound
with a bucketful of f~inely-eut clover
hay. The clover should be cut in half
inch lengths if possible. scalded, Ait
tie salt added, and hen the linseed
meal. A quart of cornmeal will also
be an excellent addition. Mix the whole
intimately and feed it warm. When a
horse is rough in coat, and has but
little appetite, such a mess three times
q week will be appreciated NJ Will be
better than medicine. 1t promotes the
appetite, regulates the bowels and as
sists in improving the condition of the
animal.
Some attention should be given to the
manur pit for the preservation of the
manure. 1t should be reconstructed
as to prevent the black liquids of the
manure from flowing away. 1t will
always pay to use absorbents to pre-
serve the manure and the absorbents
should be fine, for which reason only
chopped litter should be used, or dirt
or muck. Two pounds of kainit for
each animal per day should be added
to the manure to protect against loss
of ammonia.
The hedge plants along the road side

much neglected, and die out, no at
tempts being made to protect them
from insect attacks or supply them
with plant food as a compensation for
the enormous growth made every sea-
son.
Farmers complain that while eggs
are quoted at high figures the prices
received by them are small. The
fact is that the farmer gives no atten-
ton to selling his produce. He ships
it to a commission merchant and takes
all the chances. The farmer also Is
careless in regard to the manner of
shipping. He crowds fowls in small
coops, does not assert the eggs, and
sends good and bad produce in the
same lot. Consumers would cheerfully
buy direct from the farmers If o
WINGED that the farmers did not buy
from others. Any farmer can build
up a trade for his eggs milk and but
ter at good prices if he will convince
the buyers hat he has fresh and good
articles TO sell.
Large carcass es of mutton sell rap
idly in market and bring more pei

Now, in respect to the greater weight,
1t Is we'll known that a heavy sheep
brings more money imam a. Sinai one,
but the extra price per pound is more
than enough to pay all the cost of pro-
duction. Choice mutton is difficult to
procure, and 1t sells on sight. A diff
ference of only two cents per pound in
the price of a carcass weighing 100
pounds is a difference of 81, which Is a
considerable sum for a large flock,
and especially for the size and quality.

IS more than a century since the first

pursuance of this idea. Within the past
rev years, however, there have been
several boats constructed that seem to
approximate success. The Holland

fence worthy of the consideration of ex-

There is considerable diversity OF
opinion as to the safety with which wo.

view of possible injury. AS regard the
heart, there appears to be but one opin-
ion, namely, that that organ, accus
toned to a quiet life, may be danger
ously and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain In athletic sports. Elk.
p%erience in medical practice, a y an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa
tient with a weak heart must be ex-
tremely cautious in his exercises, and
the demonstration of a ~dilatation of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent, ex-
hausting effort which has been made
was Of a surprising nature. Many
clinical observers in Germany and In
this country have detected by percus-
sion and observation of the changes in
the heart beats that there ia under
strain and exertion considerable dila-
tation, which continues for a shorter or
longer time after the exertion is over.
Ocular proof of this has been afforded
by Roentgen rays. This shows not only
the need of caution by those in good
health, but mor particularly SO in tbs
