A Strange Discovery In

While exploring the country a.
long Abernethy Creek, near Oregon
City, Ore, recently, young man
from Portland discovered stratum
of perfumed sandstone about four
inches in thickness and extending
for some distance about four or five
beneath the surface of the ground.
The deposit is a sort of sandstone
in process of hardening. 1t is COM
posed of very fine sand, or perhaps
volcanic ash, of grayish color, and
has very perceptible perfume,
which IS still more plainly percepti-
BILE on ones hands after handling it.
The Heppner (Ore.) Gazette says
that a number of persons who have
examined the sample remarked that
the odor it emits seemed familiar,
but they could not tell what it re-
sembled.
Zone druggist said it smelled like
vanilla beans, another thought it
smelled like Tonka beans. One
said it .smelled like the perfumed
chalk used for writing on black
boards, and another said it smelled
like earth.
A woman of sensitive olfactories
at once pronounced the perfume to
be that of the sweet leaves or va
nilla leaves which boys peddle a
round the streets in the spring and
summer. A number of others have
expressed the same opinion, and

why the Hogs Succumb.

Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, explains why the hog
succumbs so INTERESTINGLY when over
heated. The man or horse when over
heated soon has his body covered with
perspiration, and the eva poration of
this at once begins to reduce his tenn
perature. Nature has made no such
provision for the relief of the hog
when heated by exposure to the sun
or by excessive exercise. This is rea-
son enough why it should have an album.

take was made when the old one was
put in; it should never have been put
in the kitchen.
bought large galvanized steel tank
with capacity of about $50 gallons, and
set it up outside the kichen in the wood
shed, the bottom being Is inches above
the faucet at the sink. A box was built
around it large enough to allow pack
ing of six inches of sawdust above, be-
low and at the sides. This material was
applied after the pipe connections had
all been we'll tested to see that they did
not leak. 1t was put around the tank
to keep the water cool during the sum-
mer by preventing access of the warm
air to the sides, and to prevent freezing
in the winer.
The tank is one of the kind used for
heating water in connection with a
range, and as it stood when I purchased
it it had four openings at the top,
one at the side and one at the bottom.
One of the holes at the top opens into
the tank direct, and was to be used for
the outflow of warm water. The other
is attached to pipe on the inside of the
tank which was to carry the cold water
nearly to the bottom. The hole in the
side was for the inflow of water as it
came heated from the fire. At the bot
tom was to be attached the pipe that
led to the 6rebox where the water was
to be heated.
But I didn't want the water hot, aud
therefore had no need of this arrange
ment of the pipes. My ends, thought,
would be best gained by turning the
tank upside down and plugging the side
opening. This did. The pipe that
comes from the hydraulic ram I then
attached to the supply pipe GAY, so that
the fresh water enters the opening that
was originally at the bottom, but is
now at the top of the tank. The out
flow pipe (B) was then screwed to the
cold water pipe which runs inside the
tank, and the pipe (C) which runs to
hot water pipe.
Whenever the hydraulic ram is work
| ing the water flows in and there is con-
slant supply of fresh, cool water all
! summer. By turning a tap in the sup
ply pipe l can shut off the water from
the tank and force the water to the
large cistern in the garnet when the
supply in it from the roof becomes ex-
hausted.
The outflow pipe empties into the
sewer, and, like the tank and the other
pipes, is well inclosed in sawdust.-M

HOUSE WATER SUPPLY.
The Farm Home That Is Without II
Is Owned by q Man Who Doesn't
Care for His Wife,

In planning to put a water tank in
your kitchen have you considered that
during the summer when the stock are
in the fields drinking from springs the
tank will have less water flowing into
it from the windmill or the hydraulic
ram, and that, in consequence, if it is
not empty it will contain warm water
And have you considered that when you
want cold water under these circum-
stances you must turn on the windmill,
start the ram, or pump the water your
self? If you don't your wife will! If
you haven't thought of this, then profit
by my experience. "Experience is the
name a man gives to his mistakes.''

HANDY WITH A SHOTGUN.

i've often wondered" said jolly
looking man, IF anybody ever got the
credit of being a good shot as easily
as l did. was visiting at house in
the country, and one day the host says:
Lets go out and try the shooting.'
There were two or three other guests
there besides myself. The host led the
way into the hall, where there were
standing three or four shotguns. He
handed gun to me, though really
didn't want it, supplied one or two 9TH
ers OF the guests, who did shoot, with
guns, and took the remaining gun him.
self, and we started out.
1T was a delightful tramp, and a
novel experience for me, going gun
ming, for I had never fired a shotgun in
my life. I enjoyed it all very much,
but I sort of strolled along in the rear,
little behind the rest,' to give the
others chance at the game, with the
hope that I would not be called upon to
shoot. I thought should only make
a ridiculous exhibition of myself; but,
as it happened, I fired the only shot
fired that day, and it was bull's-eye.
Fright in the center of a field that
we were crossing there was big dead
tree, 60 or 70 feet high, and on the top
most branch of it sat solitary pigeon.
The quick-eyed host, a keen sports
man himself, turning around to see if
[ were coming all right-he was walk
ing just ahead with the others-spied
that pigeon.
- There's chance for you,'. he said
to me, enthusiastically, as he looked
up at the bird, and I couldn't do any
less than make a bluff at it. I swung
the old shotgun up and fired, all in
one moment, and dropped the bird just
as neat as you please. The host was
delighted; it would have been a good
fair shot for anybody to make, and he
was especially pleased that it should
have been, made by one of his guests.
The rest had turned in time to see
the pigeon fall. had protested that
was no shot and they all thought
now that I was far too modest. And so
by that single chance shot got the
reputation, at least for the moment, of
being very handy with a shotgun

How Salt Helms Fertility.

While the soda and chlorine of salt
have no manural properties, there is
often decided effect from using salt
as topdressing for land that has or
ganic matter. Only very small amounts
are used per acre, and thus the salt
hastens decomposition, and this sets
free whatever carbonic acid gas or am
monia the organic matter contains.
Salt is usually thought of as preserv-
ative. It is so when in amounts large
enough to pickle what it is applied to:
When carbonic acid gas is liberated,
that acts as a solvent on the inert pot
ash and phosphate that the soil con-
tains, thus often serving in place of
those minerals at much less cost than
if they were bought and applied.

Consumption of Feed.

It is sometimes asserted that cattle

be we'll founded. In experiments con-
Quoted at the Iowa experimental sta
ton the cattle consumed 1876 pounds of

the sheep. Both sheep and cattle were
on full feed. The sheep made daily
gain of 1913 pounds per thousand
pounds live weight and the cattle 2.14.
