You no doubt have heard of cyclones
blowing feathers off chickens or pos
sibly you may have witnessed the OPP
GRAFTON, but whether you have or not
1t is fact that cyclones are sometimes
chicken pickers, as well as the pickers
of other things. Well, an ingenious
German, with a devastating cyclone
for his model, has invented a machine
that creates cyclones to order, while
you wait, for chicken picking purpos-
es. His cyclones are inconsiderable in
size, but very intense in their field OF
action, which is large enough to en-
brace Shanghai rooster. You take
the rooster or other fowl to him, he
touches a button, and before you can
wink twice every feather is of the
bird. Several cross currents OF air
from electric fans. turning at the rate
OF 5000 revolutions a minute, do the
work.

Mechanics of Soils.


Very light and sandy soils are fire.
quently improved by the addition OF
clay or mari, especially in places where
land is expensive and labor cheap.
The opposite process, that of puttins
sandy soil on clay land, has not proved
so advantageous, and 1T is commonly
said that clay can be easily and ad-
vantageoulsy applied to sandy land,
but when the sand is applied to clay
the latter soil swallows it up in un-
limited quantities. 1t is probable that
claying will never be carried on to
any considerable extent in this coun-
try where farm land sells at very
moderate figure, except where sandy
soil is underlaid by layer of clayey
soil within reach of the plow.
There was a time -when steam power
seemed likely to supersede horse
power on the farm. But that POSSIBLE
ity no longer exists. Coal and water
were found to be more expensive feed
than oats and hay. The steam engines
were found to be serviceable chiefly
on clay ground, where there was an
unyielding support for the blowing
machine. On sandy soil locomotion
proved to be a great difficulty, and
there were cases where planks had to
be laid down In front of the machines.
The plan Of having two machines on
opposite sides OF the field drawing the
pillow back and forth by means of
wire cable proved too cumbersome to
be continued. An English writer,
enumerating the drawbacks to steam
cultivation, said: I'D The area of
usage is limited by the nature Of the
ground and the size OF the fields.
Hilly surfaces, and small irregularly-
shaped fields, are not suitable. CD The
primary outlay is considerable, and
might be too much for small farmer,
who would have to hire the tackle, or
join with others in the purchase. CD
Considerable time is taken up in re-
moving from one field to another,
much more so than with horse Guilt
vation."

N. II. Albaugh, in a discussion OF the

to plant this orchard out in partner

some kind of a contract that he had
got even with the man without the

Prof. Gustave Bischof of the Glas-
cow university has invented a new
process for the manufacture of white
lead. His plan is the conversion Of
metallic lead into litharge, by means
of water gas at a temperature of 800
degrees centigrade, to suboxlde. Suffi-
cient water is then added to moisten
this suboxide, which is converted into
hydrate. This substance is then inserted
into a gas-tight apparatus, and by
means of carbonic and diluted acetic
acid manufactured into white lead.
Under the old process white lead oc-
cupied from two to three months in
its manufacture, but Prof Bischof is
enabled to make a purer article within
less than forty-eight hours at a much
cheaper price and with perfect safety
to the employees.

President Hadley of Yale made a
striking classification of society In a
recent address on the development OF
a public conscience. Humanity, he
said, is made up of two classes. Indi-
viduals of the one participate in the
business of life for what they can get
out of it, of the other for what they
can put into it. 1t is not, however, a
paradox that those who put most into
life are also, in the largest and best
sense, those who get most out OF IL.

Farm separators In Gathered Cream
Sections.

keCttOnss
The advantages OF the farm separ-
ator In a gathered cream section are
obvious, for the separator, under prop
or manipulation, will increase the
amount OF cream from Is to 40 per
cent. II seems hardly possible that
there should be any disadvantages at
tached to the use Of the farm separ-
ators which are not inherent In the
gathered cream system, and II certain
ly has the positive advantage of much
cleaner skimming. and the amount of
work could scarcely be said to be in
creased. There are In this state SIS
gathered cream creameries and the
table shows that 20 of them have more
than one-ffth the total number of
farm separators reported by all the
creameries, and an average OF about
ten more to the creamery than are re-
ported for the whole milk creameries.
The utility and success OF the farm
separator In the gathered cream sec
ton can scarcely be doubted, especial
ly as the whole milk system has made
little Roadway In that section. The
patron OF a gathered cream creamery
who has no possible opportunity of
sending the whole milk to creamery.
has only to consider the expense of a
separator and the increased amount OF
