mill-the first one to derive It's power
from the Mississippi. The building
was near the site Of the old -four mill.
In 1S4S, one year before the territory of
Minnesota was organized, work was
commenced upon dam and sawmill
on the east side of the river, which were
finished and In operation the following

character were not commenced on the
west side Of the stream, however, until
the year 1856, when the Minneapolis
Mill Company was organized and erect
ed the first mill built by citizens Of that
side Of the stream. Now near the site
Of that little Government -four mill
stand palatial stone structures where
over 100000 barrels Of the finest
-four in the world are manufactured
yearly by the waters of st. Anthony's
falls. The dam and establishments at
st. Anthony's are the largest on the
river. The great dam Is an object worth
crossing the continent to examine. Over
10000 horse power are generated by the
river at this point Gone are the prim-
tive sawmills from the east and west
banks Of the river, and In their places
are mills of magnificent size that turn
out in the neighborhood Of 600, 000, 900
feet of lumber annually. The dams at
this point on the river are marvels of
engineering skill and Improvements are
being added yearly.

Tho Farmer,s Contented Life

Farmers who are living in their quiet

Making Hens Lay in Winter.

There are many reasons why hens do
not lay in winter, but all are summed
up in the cold and darkness and lack
Of exercise which it induces. This
causes all sorts Of troubles. The fowls
in cold, stormy weather remain on the
roosts until nearly noon. Then they
get up and fill themselves with food
and then go back to the roosts again.
If the henhouse is dark, either from
snow outside or from lack Of windows,
the fowls will stay on their roosts most
of the time, and If fed well with corn
will fatten rather than begin laying.
Make the henhouse as light as possible.
Provide double windows so that they
will not be steamed up with ice from
the birds breath. These double win
dows WIN also make the henhouse much
warmer, as the space of air between
them Is one Of the best non-conductors
of heat. Then feed mainly with wheat,
giving little corn except In the very
coolest weather, and fowls will lay
some eggs at the time when eggs are
always the dearest.

Loss of Fertility from Soils.

When a plant Is consumed 1t is re-
duced to very small bulk, which is
termed ashes. A large proportion Of
the plant goes into the air, consisting
Of water, carbon and nitrogen. The
real loss is the nitrogen, as the carbon
only returns to the original source from
whence it came-the air. While por-
ton Of the nitrogen also comes from
the air, yet some Of it is derived by the
plant from the soil. A plant may cost
but little, owing to the fact that 1t Is
mostly water. Water, therefore, enters
more largely into the composition Of
plants than does any other substance
When a farmer sells a ton OF clover hay
he sells about $50 pounds of water In
the hay. This proportion Of water is
much greater In green clover. The ash
es of plants contain phosphates, lime,
potash, soda, magnesia and traces OF
other minerals, and these substances
come entirely from soil. If the ashes Of
plants could be returned to the soil
there would be little or no loss, as the
soil, through the agency Of certain
plants, could regain its nitrogen.-Farm

the water gathers should be filed up
by all means. A puddle In the roadway
win soon make a mudhole. SO 1t Is a
matter Of much Importance that the
travelway be kept smooth and even to
maintain good road. 1t is one thing
to make good road-a road well un-
derdrained and surface drained-and
it is equally important that timely re-
pairs be made and well made, other
wise much Of the work Of construction
will be lost. Again we say keep the
roads In good repair; 1t is more than
half the battle.
Ben Davis Apple.
Those who minister to the wants or
pleasures of mankind are often COM
paratively unknown. The Ben Davis
apple, in many ways, has given pleas
ure to thousands, and brought dollars
to hundreds; but no one knows who
Ben Davis was, or where he lived or
died. All that is known of its history
Is that 1t came into favor with orchard
planters, in the Southwest, and the
name travelled with the tree. Its ruddy
cheeks on a pale yellow ground are
tempting, and its eating qualities are
by no means poor; yet 1t could not be
classed as specially fine, but as an all
round variety, it has popular points.
And, then, 1t is a good tree for the
marketman, in this, that 1t does not
take as many years to come into hear
ing as some kinds, like the Northern
spy, for instance, and is regular, year
ly bearer-not requiring the resting
spells that some demand-and seems
to be no favorite with apple diseases
that feast on other kinds. Altogether
it is safe variety to plant-Meehan's

Winter Destruction of Insects.
Many of our most destructive insects
pass the winter either among matted,
PROSTATE grass, among fallen leaves or
especially along Usage hedges, lanes
and fence corners. Wherever such
places can be burned over in late fall.
winter or early spring, the effect will
be to destroy many of these. Instead
of having our annual clearing up in
May, as many do who clear up their
premises at all. this should be done
during the seasons above mentioned,
as by May many of the destructive in
sects pass the winter within folded
leaf that is attached to the twig to pre-
vent it from dropping off, and in this
way deceive the eye of the orchardist.
1t will pay to go over the orchard and
remove all of the cocoons and dried
leaves still clinging to the trees

CLAM THAT BEATS ALL RECORDS

CLAM THAT BEATS ALL RECORDS.
Professor Bumpus of the University
OF Brown was correct when he stated
that there were undoubtedly CLAIMS of
larger size on the shores of the bay of
Narragansett that the one recently
found by Theodore Northup on Cold
Spring beach that weighed fifteen
ounces. On Saturday this clam was ex-
ceeded in both weight and size by two
others, also inhabitants of Cold Spring
beach.
The first was dug by A. Charles
Grandson, and is now in the possession
of Henry Church. It's shell measured
about by 10 inches, and it weighed IS
ounces, more than the Northup clam.
Shortly after this monster bivalve had
been obtained, j. Henry Smith, another
digger of CLAIMS, came upon the beach
and after having the spot indicated
where Grandson had dug, remarked Il
am going to try and get one still big
GER" and sticking his hoe in the sand
about two feet from the spot pointed
out by Grandson, he brought to the
surface the largest clam ever known to
have been dug out in these waters, the
biValve weighing 20R ounces after being
out of the water for some hours. IT
measured 61a inches in width, and near
ly IL inches in length 1t is 31A ounces
heavier than the Grandson find, and 5
ounces more weighty than the clam dug
by Mr.. Northrp, while it's shell is over
an inch greater in dimensions.-Provi-

STORM DRAIN PIPE.
Kukui District to be Protected from
Future Storms.

Future Storms.
Profiting by the experience of several
weeks ago Road Supervisor Campbell
intends to guard as far as possible
against future damage from floods and
heavy rain storms. The government is
now having constructed on Kukut street
between River and Nuuanu streets, a
400 foot cement storm drain pipe. This
pipe taps the district bounded by Bere-
tanla, Fort, Kukui and Vineyard streets
the district which suffered so severely
from the recent heavy storm.
The street department is busy repair
ing the damage done to the roads and
streets by the flood. In many of the
outside places nothing has been done
to remedy the damage on account of
more pressing work about the city and
the result is that some of the holes are
getting in worse condition.
Inc center pier of the Kilihi bridge Is
now completed.
