The Ancients and Gems.

Ancient writer's seem to have dwelt
more especially on the occult qualities
4or gems rather than on their value,
and quaint ideas are current in regard
to them. Onomacritus, priest and
founder of Hellenic mysteries, B. G.
500. in speaking of the crystal, once
said that whose goes into the temple
with this in his hand may be quite
sure of having his prayer granted, as
the gods cannot withstand its power"
The Romans were. at one period very
extrayagant in their use of gems, for,
according to Pliny, they drank out of a
mass of gems and their drinking YES
sells were formed of emeralds. Con-
stantine was the first sovereign who
luxuriated in gemmed crown. The
diamond to-day ranks third in value,
precedence being taken by the pearl
and the Burmah ruby. This is due to
the great abundance Of the diamond
since the opening of the South African
mines. Hardness is the test of the
diamond IF a mineral cannot be cut by
a ruby or sapphire it must be a dia
rnond. Chicago News,

Bran and Corn Prices.

AS bran also contains large pro-
portion of fat and starch it does not
differ very widely from some grains,
and the only way to judge of the value
of bran is to compare it with the price
of corn If corn is selling at $40 per
ton and bran at SIS, the farmer should
then consider whether it would pay
him to buy bran ON difference of 20
per ton, but in so doing there must be
also considered the kinds of food al
ready used, the location of the farm,
the purposes for which the animals are
kept and the value of the manure from
the stock. The greater amount of pro-
tein in bran, as compared with corn,
should make it more suitable than corn
for cows which produce milk that is
sold daily, as large proportion of nj
trogen is carried away in milk. There
is also a gain in the mineral elements
in the use of bran, as corn is deficient
in that respect. For young and grow
ing stock the foods that contain the
mineral elements should be preferred,
but where linseed meal and clover are
used there will be no necessity for
feeding bran. A large number of farm
ers purchase bran, and it will be to
their interests to endeavOr to know
something of the various kinds on the
market, as a falling off in the nutri-
tious elements of the bran used may
really cause it to be expensive.

Testing Seeds.

The farmer OF gardener should test
his seeds before planting them or SOW
ing them, to see how large a proper
ton Of them will terminate. We know
of no better way to do this than to
place them between two layers of fan
mel, which place in a plate, moisten
with water and cover with another
plate, then set in warm place where
it will not freeze nights, and keep the
flannel moist. Most of garden seeds
should terminate in few days. Any
which do not appear within a week
after the first comes may be considered
practically valueless, for although some
might be more than week behind the
first, and yet sprout finally, where they
start so slowly they seldom make Wig
orous plants. 1t is a good idea to count
the seeds put in, say 100 of each for
small seeds, and if 80 to So per cent. of
them have put out good sprouts at the
end of the test they are good seed, and
20 per cent. is very fair seed, though
we would not care to use any that did
not test up to that OF course the time
before the first sprout appears varies
with different seed. Lettuce might
come in three days, and some kinds of
grass not in less than three weeks.
Carrots are said to terminate better in
the soil than under this test, and the
same may be true of beets.-American
Cultiyator.

Madern EARNING.

1t will be only a short time before
the farm will be as mechanically OPP
Grated concern as the modern fac
tory, and few farmers are SO unpro-
gressive and tied to old methods as to
regret the improvements. Gasoline en-
gines have already nearly driven the
wind mill and the steam threshing ma
chine out of many quarters Of the coun-
try. Other innovations are rapidly COM
ing in. The burdens Of the farmer grow
less and less each year. One of the
most valuable pieces of farm machin-
cry is the gasoline engine, as its uses
are almost unlimited. 1t can operate
the thresher, the separator, the feed
cutter, the corn shelter. the pumps, the
hay elevators, the wood saws, the stone
crushers; it can haul pillow across a
field, or run a dairy. And all this on
what-a few quarts, or perhaps pints,
of gasoline. Surely it seems as If the
dream of the farmer has come true,
and that the nightmare of toll and
endless drudgery has been dispelled.

Weed Law Arouses Iowans.

Iowans are thoroughly aroused to the
execution of a new law requiring
weeds in the highways to be cut at
a proper time. The statutes require
that if in any case the weeds Of lands
in the public roads are not cut before
Aug. 10 it becomes the duty of the road
supervisor of the township to take the
case in hand. In the event that the
land owner does not within three days
heed the written reminder given him
of the laws requirement, then the SUI
pervisor shall cause the weeds on such
land to be mown, and he shall make
return of his bill for the work at rate
not to exceed 81 per day, which shall
be paid from the district road fund.
The amount so paid is then entered up
and levied against the lands on which
said weeds have been destroyed and
collected by the county treasurer the
same as other taxes. Auditor Millin,
of Taylor County, has stated in the
newspapers that the call. for copies of
the road law bearing on weeds was
so great that the edition became ex-
hausted, after which the same was
printed as regular advertisig matter
in the newspapers of the State.

Economy in Kind1in4.

The following method Of kindling q
fire has been practiced in our home for
many years. First, get an oyster can,
cut top off around the edge all but one
half an inch, turn top straight UP,
make hole in it with spike nail, drive,
small nail in wall over wood box, fill
can half full of coal oil, hang on naik
and place dry corn cob in it. When
ready to start fire, roll cob in ashes
place in front Of stove, lay the ordin-
airy kindling over it and touch match
to cob. Drop another cob in can for
next time. The amount of Oil absorbed
by the cob is very small, and when roll
ed in ashes will burn longer than half
a pint Of oil thrown on the kindling.
and then there is no danger Of an eX-
plosion if there should be already some
fire in the stove.-Minnie Rude.

the grain cost $40 per ton, the pork
would cost AZ cents pound, and If he
could eat six pounds day he would
gain two pounds at cost Of 3 cents
pound.
A hog weighing 500 pounds needed
five pounds of grain feed to keep him
alive and eight pounds to increase his
weight one pound day. This would
make the pound of pork cost 8 cents.
These figures are for good. thrifty hogs
of good breed and are approximately
correct, and they show very nearly the
economy Of killing hogs before they
weigh 200 pounds if they can be made
fat. But the profit on hogs to the farm
Ell in the West is not so much in the
gain from grain feed as that the hog
turns unstable products and the
wastes of the farm into that which
sells readily.

Cleo Not Steer Fat.

1t is always in order to take whack
at oleomargarine, the greatest food
fraud of the nineteenth century, says
the Racine Journal. The kidney fat
of fat steer, such fat as it is claimed
is used for the production of better
grades Of oleomargarine, will weigh
about forty pounds. Assuming that
the average COW will produce 16O
pounds of butter in year, it will take
four steers to offset one COW as but
ter producer. Enough oleomargarine
was made last year to offset the prod
uct of over 100000 cows; SO, If this
choice fat was used alone in its produc-
ton, 1000, 900 steers were drawn upon,
but there was not any such number of
steers killed, and so it proves that oleo
is not made of that sort of fat.

twenty years old win produce from

A pear tree fifteen years old should

In paper that comes to me, and
which calls itself agricultural, the
editor answers an inquiry as to the
suitableness Of catalpa for fence posts
and telegraph poles by practically ad-
vising against it's use for such pur-
poses. 1t is curious advice to give in
face of the fact that no timber has
ever been grown that is as durable in
contact with the soil as catalpa. 1t
will last century in the ground, and
has been known to. For ties, posts and
rails it is simply unexcelled. There are
two varieties of catalpa, theAhardy ca.
talpa - catalpa speciosa will
grow to height of more than eighty
feet and develops diameter of more
than thirty feet, and the common ca
talpa, which will grow to a height of
more than forty feet, and will have a
diameter Of ~ feet. Both varieties
are used in the South for the purposes
named-J. III. B., in Epitomist.

How to Fry.

A cook should always have two fry
ing pans, and third, not much bigger
than large plate, for omelets, fritters
and the like. The pans should be kept
very clean, and the butter, dripping
lard or oil must be boiling hot before
the meat or fish or vegetable is put in
the pan. Mutton chops, plain, do not
require any fat in the pan with them
they have enough in themselves-buE
they must be turned and moved about
to prevent them from burning. Always
season the chop with little pepper be-
fore putting it in the pan.

ordered another battle-ship from the
Cramps in Philadelphia, which it will
take several years to complete. In the
meanwhile American commerce is be-

ing it as unpleasant for United States
citizens in his dominions as he possibly
car. The authorities at Smyrna have
prohibited the importation of American
pork by resurrecting a law eighteen
years old, and at other Turkish ports
consignments of American flour are re-

awed by the lesson administered by the
United States to Spain. and must be
taught by actual experience the same
lesson sooner or later.

A Field For Investment.

New Mexico has too long suffered
from the incubus of an unsettled condi-
ton of her lane titles. Happily that
state of affairs is nearly wholly remov-
ed, although there still exists a preju-
dice among many who have not kept
posted as to the progress made in this
line within the last few years. 1t is the
of the press of the territory to
remove this prejudice, now altogether
without reason, and to show to invest
ors and the mining world the fair op-
portunities here afforded for invest
ment and the satisfactory returns that
may be expected. Smarting under the
sting of this unjust discrimination, the
people and press of New Mexico have
in the past fallen into a habit of mod
esty and reserve regarding the re-
sources of the land, but now a different
course of action is proper and should be
proceeded upon.

Ell Paso's interest in the internation-

had their eyes opened by the New Mex
leo press, which exposed the iniquitous
speculation which is at the bottom of
the international dam scheme. and
which in the end would hurt Ell Paso
quite as much as it would New Mexi-
Co. One Ell Paso paper even suggests
sending delegates to the convention at
Albuquerque. There wouldn't be any
harm in that, and some good might re-
suit from it. New Mexico people are not
unreasonable; they have no srudge
against FL Paso; they would like to see
FL Paso have as much water as ii pos
sibly can procure without hurting the
prior interests and rights of the people
of this territory.
