CARBON'S WONDERFULFAM1LY
To Which Belongs the AristocratiC
and Imperishable Diamond
Other Relatives,

"Talking of Charcoal" in St. Mich
olas, Ralph Benton tells of Carbon's
wonderful family.
1.-THE aristocrat of it is the diamond.
I thought you would look surprised
at that remark. Nevertheless, all Of
those diamonds that you see in the
jewelers. window are pure carbon.
They are carbon crystallized - the
most permanent of gems, for they
can neither be melted nor dissolved.
The car Of Russia has set in the end
of his scepter diamond that is SAID
to be worth three-quarters of mill
lion dollars, and there is one in Eng
land that weighs much less than sill
YER dollar, but it is valued at $685., 900.
"The closest relative of the diamond
is q smooth black substance called
graphite. In one form you handle it
every day, for graphite is used in
making lead pencils. Gas-carbon is
a cousin of the diamond, and is OBJ
tanned, as you might imagine from
the name, in the process of making
gas. Only three things come from BIZ
luminous coal-gas, coal tar and
coke. Gas-carbon is another name for
coke. Now, the diamond gives ex-
quisite and inimitable sparkles of
light, which makes it of great value
as a jewel; but it gives only the
pleasure of possession. It's sober
hued cousin, coke, affords broad
beams of light, making the path of
night easy to travel, and lessening
the crime that used to revel in dimly-
lighted city streets. For from the
coke the long black pencils, or car
bons,' used in arc lights are made.
First the coke is ground into fine
powder. Then it is mixed with mo-
lasses and made into very thick
dough. After being rolled into long
cylinders having thickness about
equal to the diameter of ascent
piece it is baked. And night after
night, in all seasons, the power that
we know as electricity is at work in
millions of pieces of carbon all over
our great country, giving us light and
comfort and safety.
"Yet I can't say that this is the
most marvellous effect coming directly
from carbon. No doubt you know that
steel is certain form of iron, but,
like many other people, you don't
know exactly how it differs from CT
binary iron. Well, the difference is
that steel is iron containing very
small proportion of carbon-from rs
to is per cent.-and thus the iron be-
comes very, very hard. The surgeon,
the carpenter, the engraver and ev.
eryone else who uses edged tools
would be in serious plight if they
had to depend on iron alone. With
steel, however, keen edge can be
secured. The railroads in these days
are almost all equipped with steel
rails, which last longer than those of
ordinary iron. All our wonderful
cruisers and battleships wear outside
cases of heavy steel plates"

Feeding Calves on SIX i'm milk.

Prof. ID. I'll. OTIS, OF Kansas, IN an
address delivered before the Missouri
State Dairymen's association. said: \
dairyman's herd of skim milk calves
is very good index as to the char
acter of the man. Experience of both
the experiment stations and up-to-
date dairy farmers shows that calves
fed warm sweet skim milk, in clean
buckets, with access to corn or Katfir
corn meal, bright hay, fresh clean wa:
ter, salt. plenty of sunlight, shelter
and bedding in cold weather. shade in
summer, regularity, thoughtfulness
and kindness in treatment, will usual
~ be thrifty and gain from one and
one-half pounds to two pounds daily.
The dairyman who is unable to do this
is behind the times and usually behind
in his accounts. In other words, he
is a scrub dairyman.

REAL ESTATE VALUES.
Largely Increased by Improved
Roads and Trollcys, Both of
Which Scatter Population.


In our travels through many Of tho
medium-sized cities of the different
states, says Henry I. Budd, commits
sioner of public roads of New Jersey,
in his seventh annual report recently
issued, we have found real estate
men testifying that receipts from
rents of resident property near the
centers of these cities had declined
from one-third to one-haif, while
property miles out in the SUBURBAN
districts was in demand and increas-
ing in value. They have invariably
attributed these results to the good
roads and trolleys. These are evil
IDENTIFY scattering populations, and
will, no doubt, in the future relieve
the congestion of our large cities.
People are finding that they can be
quickly transported to these distant
sections, where they can have the
benefit of pure air and country SUR
roundings, with all the enrolling in
fuences of nature. Road improve
ment, by which people can enjoy rap
id and smooth communication, prom
Uses to be the problem that will settle
many of the evils of our congested
cities.
The more the people who have
been inhabiting the thickly settled
portions of our cities, with only mar
row streets and miles of brick and
mortar to greet their daily vision,
learn of the uplifting tendency of
rural surroundings, the more they
will labor to take advantage of them.
They find country living much cheap
err. They find they can have gardens
to cultivate vegetables, fruits and
flowers. They learn that their chill
dren will not be subjected to the con-
terminating influences of a miscel-
1aneous population. By these aids the
enervating tendencies of overcrowd-
ed populations will be arrested. The
state and nation, by the moral and
mental improvement of the families,
will be made very much stronger.
Crime will be lessened. The expenses
of government will be decreased; in
fact, it is difficult to estimate the
benefits that improved highways are
giving to our different communities.
Rural life becomes daily less and less
isolated. Free rural mail delivery
follows the track of these hard roads,
and thus the whole farm life is
brought in quick touch with all our
great centers.
When improved roads become gen.
eral, the tendency to cluster in great
cities will be arrested, and thus
honest municipal government be
made possible.-N. Y. Tribune.

Ice Making in Cuba,

"The manufacture of ice is thirty
ing industry in Cuba since the Span
ish war;" said Mr.. 3. E. Hambleton
of Santiago. 1t is really amusing
to watch the Cubans crowd around ro
purchase ice. All classes and condi'
tons that can raise the price clamo1
for it, and they clamor all the sea-
sons of the year. During the heavy
rains the demand is lighter, but there
is no very appreciate difference. San
tiago has had ice for many years, but
the old plant we found in the city
was practically incapacitated. Since
the cessation of hostllities all the
Cuban cities of any size have been
we'll supplied with modern machinery
for the manufacture of ice, and it il

To Destroy Currnnt Worms.

Hellebore is the proper remedy
Some sprinkle it on dry. That is
somewhat wasteful. The most eff
fective method of application is to
dissolve in scalding water and put a
strong solution, about spoonful for
a pail OF water. 1t will not do to ap-
ply once only. The eggs seem to be
innumera BILE and the next day an
other swarm of the worms will ap-
pear. It is not considered safe to use
Paris green on currant bushes; there
is danger that it may poison the
fruit. If dry hellebore is used in
abundance it would be better to
spray freely afterwards with pure
water and thoroughly cleanse the
pushes.

THE ROAD TO FAILURE.
Farmers Who Don't Get Out of the
Rut and stick to Antfquatcd
Ideas Surely Are on 1t.

The more wagon runs in rut
the deeper the rut grows and the
more difficult it becomes for the driv-
err to get out of it. There are hun
dreds of farmers in ruts, SO to speak,
and each year seems to weaken their
power or thwart their desire to get
out. The farmer who for Is or 20
years has been growing corn and oats
alternately on what he mistakenly
thinks inexhaustible soil is in a deep,
well-worn rut that slopes toward
hard times for that farmer. He
ought to get out and travel on a
smooth surface. He ought to grow
more crops and live stock. He should
grow cowpeas and soy beans, rape
and sorghum, clover and vetch. What
will he do with them? Feed them
right on the farm.
Oats and corn have their place in
a rotation of farm crops, but great
many farms in the middle west would
be much improved if given rest
from these fertility teaches. Legumin-
GUS and forage crops must supplant
cereal crops to a large extent in the
corn belt. The land demands the
change. Good farming approves 1t.
Farmers must get out of the rut or
be mired. The latter will be their
lot if they continue the two-crop
system which they so long have been
practicing. To avoid it is quite as
easy as to encounter it.
Without suggesting complete pro-
gramme, let us urge that you SOW
some cowpeas and soy beans this
year. Double disk some of your oat
land MS soon as the crop is harvest
ed, harrow it well and drill in the
peas or beans. At last cultivation OF
corn SOW about ten pounds of clover
seed per acre broadcast amongst the
stalks. Try ten acres this way. Sow
some rape. Try some vetch. Get
more live stock on your farm. Feed
them on those good things herein
mentioned. Keep some good cows
Raise poultry. Grow fruit. Have sew
eral hives of bees. Be real farmer
and get out Of the ruts.-Farmers'
Voice.
