MOVING PICTURES OF A TREE.
Agricultural Bureau Has Machine Il
Photograph Growth of Plants.

Agricultural Bureau Has Machine to
Photograph Growth of Plants.
The Agricultural Department, Wash
ington, has pressed the moving picture
machine into the service of science.
The division of vegetable pathology
ton in one of its greenhouses, photo
graphing the growth of small oak
tree. The machine works automati-
cally, taking a picture each hour. At
night an electric light is thrown into
circuit as the exposure is made. The
machine has been running about two
weeks and will be kept going about
two weeks longer on it's present sub
ject When the series aof pictures is
completed it will be possible to repro
duce with the stereopticon the growth
of the plant from the time the first
shoot appeared above ground till the
tree is in full leaf and a foot or more
high
While the oak tree pictures are pure
of the machine it is intended to use
the serial photographs in watching. the
progress OF plant diseases, blights, in
sect parasites and the like. The de-
partment hopes in the near future to
be able to lend to the agricultural col
leges and experiment stations rolls of
lantern slide films to illustrate certain
of the departments bulletins on these
subjects.
1t is pointed out that a lecture before
a class of students could show in five
minutes the growth and seed distribu
ton of any noxious plant such as the
Canadian thistle, or the life history of
an insect pest so that it could be read
lily recognized and combated on it's
first appearance in a region, even
though the workers there had never
seen it in actual life.
In addition to the straight photo
graphic work expected of the new ma
chine, it's designer intends to adapt it
to use with the X-ray so as to take
pictures of certain objects that other
wise would be invisible. 1t is thought
by the department that series of pic
lures of this sort taken in the period
of CESSATION would be of value to stock
raisers, and might be adapted to the
use of the medical profession in GER
tain lines of research.

Hints.

To glaze pastry, brush over with yolk
of egg just before putting in the oven.
To destroy moss on trees, paint with
whitewash made of quicklime and
wood ashes.
To make good fish sauce, take some
plain, thick, melted butter and add a
teaspoonful of mushroom ketchup with
the same quantity of picked walnut,
chopped finely.
Rings set with valuable stones should
always be taken off when washing the
hands, for the constant soaping dis
colors the gems, and also in many
cases loosens them from their setting.
A delicious orange drink is made as
follows: Slice three oranges and
lemon into jug with two ounces of
sugar candy. Pour over this quart Of
boiling water; stir at intervals till cold.
To keepsa kettle clean put clean
oyster shell or large marble inside.
These attract all particles of earth and
stone with which the water liz impreg-
mated, and thus save the inside of the
kettle from becoming coated with them.

How to barrel Apples.

There are manufactured barreling
presses on the market. but the home
made affair shown in the picture will
do as good work, and in some points
will do it more conveniently than the
commercial press. A blacksmith, with
a few moments work, will bend a
stout iron rod into the shape shown,
the rod passing down one side of the
barrel, across under it and up the other
side, the upper ends being bent as
shown. A long lever Of wood Is slip
ped into the loop and just the right
thickness of blocks placed beneath 1t to
spring the cover down into place. Now
draw the lever under the lip of the rod

rnkeen brushes Clean.

The best way to clean hair brushes
is with spirits of ammonia, as it's effect
is immediate. No rubbing is required,
and cold or tepid water can be used as
successfully as warm. Take table
spoonful of ammonia to quart of
water; dip the bristles without wetting
the back, and in moment the grease
is removed; then rinse in cold water,
shake well and dry in the air, but not
in the sun. Soap and soda soften the
bristles and do not get them so thor
oughly clean.

Admiral Sampson says that the best
training for a naval life is ''hard work

began life by splitting and piling the
wood his father sawed.

Farm Fire Ladder.

The constant danger that farm build

Quate attention, owing to the lack Of
fire apparatus and of men, makes it
important that all possible precautions
be taken that incipient fires may

A Simple Disinfectant.

For the sick room pleasant disln-
fectant is made by putting in a saucer
some freshly ground coffee and light
ing piece of camphor gum on top OF
it. AS this gum burns it emits the
odor of roasting coffee, an aroma that
is agreeable to most people. This per-
fume has the advantage of being
healthful, and is to be preferred to the
pasties and incense powders, which to
some are very sickening. The odor OF
the coffee will counteract any bad
aroma in the room and the fumes OF
the camphor will kill ordinary disease
germs that may be floating around

roof is of the greatest Importance. The
cut shows one that can quickly be put
in place. 1t is in the form of a fruit
ladder at the top, and has a small
wheel at the end, as shown. 1t can
thus be showed up over the roof with
out catching on the shingles. A hook
is placed in the position shown, so that
the ladder, when showed up to the
ridge, can be turned over. when the
hook will hold it firmly in place. Make
the ladder long enough for any roof
you have, and have another that will
reach any roof edge.

Hot Weather Drinks.

The old-fashioned drinks, the forR
ula for which have been handed dOwS
from one generation to another, have
a charm of their own. Among these
are the various shrubs" or wine
gars,'' which cannot be bought at the
grocer's, but must be made at home.
One of the chief of these is raspberry
shrub. Take twelve quarts Of black
cap raspberries (the red ones will not
answer), and pour over them gallon
of good cider vinegar Let them stand
In a cool place for twenty -four hours,
then mash and strain through coarse
cheesecloth bag. Measure the juice,
and allow pound of sugar to each pint
Of juice. Let the sugar melt In the
liquid. Then boil for twenty minutes.
Bottle and keep in dark, cool place.
To prepare it as a beverage, fill glass
quarter full of finely Clipped Ice, put
in two tablespoonfuls of the shrub, and
fill up the glass with ice water

A Cure for Burns.

The following receipt for burns is
most highly recommended: Roll -four
and lard together as you would for
making pie crust. Then wet 1t into a
soft dough with cold water. Com
pletely cover the parts burned and keep
them covered for two or three days.
When the dough loosens-which will
be in two or three days-the burned
skin will peel off with it. Make fresh
dough and cover the afflicted parts
again. Let the dough remain until It
is loose 1t is said that burns treated
in this way will not leave scars.

Fertility and Mineral Manures.


There is widespread belief among
farmers that while stable manure in
creases fertility the application Of min
eral commercial fertilizers tends to
more rapidly exhaust it. Really, how
ever, to the extent that manure In any
form makes bigger crops than what ii
supplies plant food for, it tends to ex.
haustion. Applying nothing but stable
manure, which is usually deficient IL
phosphate and potash, takes those min.
erals out of the soil faster than they
would be drawn were the manure not
used The loss Of the mineral ele-
ments is not SO easily seen as the
waste of vegetable matter in the soil
where only the commercial mineral
fertilizers are used. Besides, the min.
eral manure is generally sold in form
to be quickly taken up by crops. 1t is
impossible to make stable manure so
soluble that some of it's elements will
not be left in the soil for future crops.

Iapioca.

Although tapioca pudding is recog-
nized as one of the simplest, most nn-
tritious and familiar of our every day
desserts, few people stop to think that
the root Of the cassava plant from
which it is made, is in it's raw state one
of the most deadly of poisons. The
wood and root of this plant, which Is
a native of South America, secretes an
acrid milky juice, so toxic that it kills
in very few minutes. This quality
is eliminated by heat, and that which
in a raw state is so deadly is thereby
converted into one of our most nour-
fishing foods. The root is grated into
pulp and subjected to great pressure,
which extracts all the poisonous juice.
1t is then heated On metal plates, which
transforms it into the tapioca Of com
merce, a substance entirely innocuous.

want the alfalfa Tor the hay, it is besl
to plant an extra strip for the bees
Recent investigation shows plainly
that alfalfa should be cut prior to COM
ing into full bloom to make good hay
that will be a safe feed for horses and
young stock. If it is allowed to begin
to mature the hairy growth on the
stalks of the alfalfa plant becomes
hard and woody. These hairs gather
into knots or balls in the stomachs OF
horses. In time these balls may cause
death.-A. FL. Gibson, Arizona.

Kerosene Emulsion.

To make the emulsion, dissolve one
half pound of hard soap in one gallon
Of soft water, and while still boiling
hot remove from the fire and add two
gallons of kerosene. Stir the mixture
violently by driving through a force
pump back into the vessel until it be-
comes a creamy mass that will not
separate The emulsion is then ready
to be diluted with water and applied.
For the common scale insects and hard
bodied insects like the chinch bug, Use
one part of the emulsion to eight or ten
parts of water For soft-bodied insects
like plant lice, use one part of emul-
sion to fifteen or twenty parts of
water AS the emulsion kills by contact
the application should be very thor
ough.
