that we are putting on good deal of
style to call our home by distinctive
name, but we like it. Why can the
farmer not have little individuality
about him if he wants to? A name
that IS descriptive or suggestive gives
a homely sort of dignity to the farm
that is pleasing to those who have
their homes, even if they are in the
country. We do not claim that our
home is a model, or is any way better
than our neighbours homes, but we
owe no man dollar and we think
there is no better place to live than
on Vermont farm.

FOREST HILL FARM NOTES.
More Barn Room.

l have been planning every day tc
have my stock, hay and grain in my
present barn, but l cannot see how |
can do it. l must dispose of some
surplus young stock if do, and that
| do not want to think of for MN
ute. | have about concluded to build
a shed the whole length of my barn,
on the south side. My barn is 60 feet
long, SO by building shed 16 feet
wide and 8 feet high at the outer wall
l can put in Is or more stanchions.
| recently visited farmer in Wash
ington county who had built similar
shed along the side of his barn, and |
was SO well pleased with the arrange
ment that l will try and duplicate his
plans. His shed is about the dimen-
sions that l have mentioned, and as
| stood above looking over the backs
OF dozen or more fine, healthy look
ing Jerseys hooked up in a room as
light and airy as ball room, |
thought of my dozen COWS in the
basement of my barn, a dark, low cell
inged apartment. | shall put at least
six large size windows in this shed,
and the slope of the roof from the
rear plate up to the barn will give me
high, well ventilated quarters for my
cattle. My shed-no, shed sounds too
cold and lonesome, my new addition
to the barn will be wide enough for
four foot isle, or feeding floor, next
the barn side and still have sufficient
space in rear of the platform SO that
one can pass far enough behind the
COWS to avoid being in any way be-
fouled, and the rear wall can be kept
clean and slightly. l used to think
that should have to build larger
barn sometime, but have given that |
up. This inexpensive addition will
hold all my mich WIS, and | can |
devote the basement to pens for young !
stock and hogs.
The Silo.
There is no winter feed that can take
the place of ensilage for dairy stock.
For several years labored hard every
fall husking my corn and handling the
fodder. That time has gone by. L
now put the product of about five acres
Of corn into the silo and when it is
packed in there the job is done. |
would not undertake to do winter
again with full rations of
Try feed. l think that a farmer with
i've COWS or more can not afford to do
Without silo for the green, succulent
,nsilage is almost as good milk pro-
lucer as pure grass.

The use of paint in hospitals,
schools aid other buildings is being
urged in Germany as matter of con-
siderable sanitary Importance. Elk
perimenting with different kinds of
paints, Dr. Heimes has proven that
disease bacteria die more quickly on
wood, iron or cement coated oil paint
than on the same articles covered
with enamel paint, and on enamel
paint more quickly than on lime and
size paint. The cause is thought to
be physical rather than chemical, de-
pending especially on the rapidity
with which liquids containing the
bacteria dry on the various paints.

in intense black the most salient

touched TO bring out hair and drap-
cry, and any lettering desired is
drawn with India ink if to be in re
lief or Chinese white if to be de-
pressed, the outline of plaque or
medallion being traced with India
ink. From this proof is reproduced
a negative of the desired size. Low

Even window washing is now a
subject of scientific study. For hive
wears a German chemist has been
investigating the action of pure water
and dilute acids upon plate glass
and he has prepared tables showing
exactly how much of the glass is dis
solved by each reagent. From these
and other results, Mr.. w. L. Scoville
concludes that windows should be
cleaned with weak ammonia water
and poliseed with dilute hydrochloric
acid friction. The ammonia, though
sufficiently solvent to suspend some
of the silica and streak the glass, has
less effect than soda or potash; and
the acid neutralizes the ammonia and
the alkali in the glass, forming some
soluble chlorides that aid in the
polishing. The final operation is dry
ing and polishing with clean cloth.
To avoid damage to paint and var
nish, not more than half an ounce of
concentrated ammonia water should
be used in pailful of water, and the
usual two or three ounces of strong
acid to the pailful should be lessened
if the window frames are of metal.

From a description of the torpedo
controlling devices of Walter Jamison
and John Trotter, it appears that a
very satisfactory arrangement for
steering by Hertz waves is obtained
by means of two solenoids, or wire
spirals, the right or left oue-accord-
ing to the direction of the current
received-being made to act as a mag
net, drawing in an iron core, and Civ
ing corresponding turn to the rud-
der attached. The waves are sent
out from the controlling ship by
manipulating the switch Of an Undue
ton coil. They are received by two
rods projecting from torpedo above
the water, pass to a coherer Of spec
ial type, and lessening the resistance
of the metal powder of this coherer
close the secondary circuit of a relay
causing an electric current to flow
through a "selector' to the proper
soIenoid, which sucks in it's core and
keeps the helm turned until the de-
sired course is attained, when the
operator opens the induction coil
switch, and the waves cease. The
helm flies back to the midship posi-
ton.

Though the fuorescent screen is
very family luminous, Rev. Alexander
Moffat finds if the oentgen rays
we're continuous instead of itnermit-
tent, they would exert an effect 500
times greater than sunlight falling
perpendicuIarily upon surface. Only
1 per cent of the energy implnging
upon the screen is represented by the
visible radiations, while the interval
between two x-rays discharges is
about 1900 times the period covered
by the discharge itself. A Georgia
inventor, it may be noted, has pro-
duced Roentgen-ray lamp, which is
claimed to yield an intense light from
the bombardment Of a. covered mag
net core by the cathode rays.

Over 60Oof the mines Of Continental
Europe are provided with means for
enabling workmeu to enter poisonous
atmospheres. The Pneumataphor
rescue appliance, as this is known,
was lately exhibited to the Manches-
ter Geological Society. and consists
of breathing bag, one or two cylin-
ders holding 60 quarts of oxygen at
100 atmospheres of pressure, a caus-
tic soda apparatus, nose clip. a
special mouthpiece, aud knapsack.
With one oxygen cylinder the weight
is about nine pounds, which a second
cylinder increases to about IA or Is
pounds. The former enables the
wearer to remain III the poisonous
gases of a mine after explosion for
an hour, and the two cylinder APP
paratus ensures a safe stay of about
three hours. Since 1897 the Imper-
ial Office of Mining in Austria has in
sisted that every mine of the fire
damp" class should have pneumatic
phors in the proportion of per cent
of the maximum shift of overseers
and blasters.
