Niter In Maple Syrup.

Being heavier than syrup, inter, OF
sugar sand, as it is frequently termed,
forms on the bottom of the boiling
pans anelasauses much trouble. This
is one reason why 7argezsheetss iron
pans without partitions are preferabFe.
The rapid boiling over the whole sur
face tends to check the precipitation
and nc serious trouble is experienced.
Sone evaporators are so constructed
Snat the pans are interchangeable.
This is great help, as by moving the
syrup pans, on which the formation is
mostly, further ahead in the arch it
can be boiled off. Diluted muriatic
acid in the proportion Of one part OF
acid to two of water is probably as
good as anything to clean the pans.
This should be carefully applied and
the pans thoroughly washed after
ward. A small amount of this acid in
the sap would spoil the syrup. I have
tried several ways of getting this sub
stance out of the syrup. I have
strained through flannel, felt and
sponge, and have finally returned to
gravitation as being the most pracii-
cal.
The syrup is tested with sacchar"
ometer, drawn off, strained through
two thicknesses of cheese cloth and
poured into small, deep settling cans
holding six or seven gallons each. It
remains in these from twelve to twen-
ty-four hours, when it is poured off
carefully into the thirty-gallon can
ming can. The settings are turned
into one can, hot sap is put in and oil
we'll stirred; when this has settled the
clear portion is drawn off and the pro-
cess repeated until the sweetness is
washed out and the silica is left nearly
as white as four.-C. P. Haskins, in
American Agriculturist.

ouarter-iuch board fitted nicely in the
pipe and we'll nailed to its place. The
top should be bent over ring Of No.
9 wire to give it sufficient strength.
To hold the even half peck for seven
inch pipe, the depth should be just
seven inches. B is grain scoop for
filling sacks, etc. 1t is made from q
piece from sheetiron eighteen inches
long by fourteen inches wide. The
best way to fasten the sides to the
cross-piece is to bore hole through
it, from end to end, and draw the
sides up with a small bolt. The
handle is attached to this cross-piece
and to the end piece, as shown.
The edges of this, also, should be
wired.
spouts with "cut offs" for drawing
small grains, ground feed, ETC., from
bins on higher level, are quite COM
mon, but such conveniences are not so
common about corn cribs. Fig. 2
represents form of spout or ''shoot"
by which corn can be drawn from a
crib very nicely. The opening in the
crib should be not less than sixteen
inches square and the shoot, the same
size, is set sloping down at an angle
of forty degrees. 1t should be about
two feet long. The bottom is in two
pieces, the lower half being hinged to
the upper. To shut off the corn, this
portion of the bottom is simply turned
up and hooked. A, Fig. 2, shows the
shoot with the top off and the bottom
let down. B shows the shoot closed.
Two or three shoots like this along
the side of o crib will save a great
deal of shoveling and of lifting also.
if the crib is SO situated that the corn
can be run directly into sled OF
wagon.-Albert Rex, in Ohio Farmer.

The Best Cattle For the Farm.

In the judgment of the writer there
are three classes of cattle: The special
dairy cattle, the special beef cattle
and the general purpose cattle. The
first should be kept by all dairymen
who are making dairying their special
work and the next by those who breed
for beef only, where the calves must
be raised by the dams. The place for
the general purpose COW is on the
average farm where the farmer wishes
to grow good beef animal, and at the
same time he is obliged to milk his
COWS in order to have milk and butter
for the family without cash outlay
for same. But right here it might be
well to give our idea Of general pur-
pose COW. She is one that gives a
large amount of milk, and produces Z
calf that can be grown into a good
quality of beef at en- early age. She
may not give as much milk as the
special dairy COW, nor her calves make
quite so much meat as those Of the
highest type Of beef cattle. She is the
only kind of COW the average farmer
can afford to keep who wants to grow
beef and cannot afford to keep special
beef cow for the whole year with no
other income from her than the calf
she produces. The average farmer
can get this general purpose COW with
out so much cash outlay as it takes to
start in special breeding. Cows of
common or mixed breeding will answer
for the foundation providing they are
large in body and roomy IN frame and
good mixers. If there = any dairy

THE OLD ARMoR MAKER
Long Before the Civil War He Woye Coats ol
Mail as q Side Line.

"About two years ago." said a Poy.
dras street business man, there died
at the Charity Hospital an eccentric
old German, who once upon time fol-
lowed the Queerest trade in the world.
He was a maker Of coats Of mail. Long
before the war he had little jewelry
shop on. the north side of Canal street.
and the coat-of-mail business was a
sort Of private side line. The armor he
then made was composed Of small
links Of very hard steel, woven to-
gether so compactly that one could NOT
thrust even a pin through the inter-
stices, and it was said that the coats
would turn either knife OF bullet.
They We're fashioned something like o
sleeveless undershirt. and We're intend
cd to be worn Immediately beneath the
outside garment In those days the
use of such devices was popularity at
tributed to fellows who wanted TO Sc
cure an unfair advantage in duellinS,
and the reputation of wearing one un-
der any circumstances was fatal TO q
reputation for courage. Consequently
the old German didn't go to any pains
to exploit his business, and his GUS
toners must have come to him through
many devious channels. l knew the
old chap quite we'll when was boy,
and I have often seen him putting the
mail together in his little back room.
He got the links from Germany and
they came in long single-strand chains,
which he fastened together with small
steel rings, thus building up fabric
like knitting a stocking. The coats
were made over a wooden form,
shaped like mans torso, and were
astonishingly light.
After the war broke out a good many
men bought them openly, as legtti-
mate protection, and for While the
old man had more business than he
could attend to. / went into the army
and lost sight of him until some years
after peace was declared. When ] en-
eountered him one day, working as a
iourneyr1an matchmaker, 1 asked at
once whether he rnade any more chain
armor, and he laughed and said it had
gone out of fashion. l believe, how
ever, that he used to still make coat
now and then for some crank up to
the time of his death. OF late years
he quit active business and lived in
quiet retirement out near st. Johns
bayou."-New Orleans Times Demo
