BRIDGE DELAYED.-The commission
10 charge Of the matter of preparing
plans and letting the contract for the
new highway bridge across the Potomac
river has been much delayed In Its
work by the storms that have prevail
ing during the past six weeks. Borings
taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to obtain data for the com.
pany's bridge show that rock exists at
a depth of 107 feet below mean low
water, where the railroad bridge is to
be constructed. As the highway
bridge will occupy position but little
removed from that of the railroad
bridge this will give some idea oil the
work that will have to be done by its
builders. The plan Of the PeDnsylva-
MIA bridge will have to meet with The
approval of the Prtomsc Bridge Com
mission. This will include.the aren't
tectural features, which now are only
those of unitarian character and
make no provisions for anything in the
way of ornament.

A Lightning Rod story.

The lightning rod agent is no re-
specter of persons or colors. A cor
respondent of the Texas Farm and
Ranch tells this story of little log
house: "a negro's family occupy it
At one time this negroes note was
good for as much as $50. About that
time lightning rod agent came
through the county. He ascertained
that said Negroes note was good fol
100 feet of rod and he sold it to him
charging him $50, taking his note il
payment. The negro paid the note
and has never since had that much
money. It's rather an incongruou:
sight to see $50 lightning rod on
seven-dollar house; still it furnishes
another instance of how much some
people love to humbug and others t.
be humbugged."

LOCATION OF WELLS.
Put Them Where There Is No Danger
of Either Surface or Under
Drainage.

We believe that far too many farm
ers and stock-raisers pay but little
attention to the supply of water, both
for house use and for the farm stock,
and do not fully realize the impor-
lance of an abundant and convenient
supply of pure water at all times
upon the farm. The shallow well dug
in low places about the farm or feed
lots and carelessly covered or stoned
or bricked up is the catch-basin for
nearly all the refuse that flows from
the stock yards, and if the water is
not kept very low by constant usage
it is liable to become impure. 1t is
through sheer thoughtlessness that
wells are ever located in the low
places of feed-lots. They should al
ways be dug upon the higher ground
where there is no danger of the
drainage from the barn lots or feed
lots flowing into them, and then it
they are well walled up and close
cover put on them there is not much
danger of contamination. If it is not
possible to have the wells located con-
veniently and where there is no dan
ger of contamination from the drain
age from the barn lots we would rec
| ommend a changing of the location
of the barn and feed-lots, and in no
wise compromise by placing well
| where there is the least danger. We
remember one large feeding barn es-
pecially, in western Iowa, upon which
| four large wells were located and wa
ter was pumped for stock by huge
windmills. One of these wells was
located probably distance of $50 feet
| from the barns and at least Is feet
below the level of the barns. This
well, of course, received every bit OF
the drainage and surface water from
the barn lots. The other wells were
located at convenient places about
the feeding lots. but invariably at the
lowest places in the lots. There was
no reason for these locations of the
wells at all except that the farmer
did not have to dig SO deep in making
them. They were expensive affairs
at best. The wells were large ant
well bricked up and the windmills
were expensive, and if the four hae
been placed on suitable grounds where
the water could have been kept pure
thew would have been of almost in
calculable value. AS it was within
three years time every well had t.
be abandoned We can give no better
advice in the location of wells thai
to put them where there is no DANCE,
of either surface or under drainage

SCIENCE IN FEEDING.
Nitrogen and Carbon the Two rrinci-
pal Substances Desired IN
Food for Poultry.

MANY farmers do not fully under
stand the terms used by those who !
oive directions for feeding, although |
some farmers have made such matters
a study. A farmer may not know the |
relative proportions of the several SUD-
stances in foods, but he should en-
deavor to learn by experience what 10
give his focks, what to avoid, and how
often. The two principal substances
in food desired for poultry are nitro
gen (for flesh, albumen, etc. and car
bon (for fat). The heterogeneous FOODS
are meat. beans, clover, and to GER
tain extent grains. The carbonaceous
foods are corn, fat meat, grease, rice,
etc. If hen is fat she needs no 1000
excelling in fat. Hence, finely cut clio
yer hay scalded in the morning, with
a tablespoonful of linseed meal at
night, is better for egg production
than grains. If the hen is poor, give
grains at night. All foods, however,
contain fat and also some nitrogen.
It should be borne in mind that the
more quiet and sluggish the disposition
| the less GOTH VI nCdliiiSo 1870 -
quired. A laying hen should never be
very fat. for the accumulation OF rat
is very injurious to reproduction. III
too fat the hen may not lay; she be-
comes egg-bound, breaks down, and
soon proves unproductive. Any fowls
that are active foragers and are laying
NAV be fed all they will eat; but II the
hens are apparently in good health, but
do not lay. feed no corn, give plenty
OF meat and allow bulky food, or they
will fatten quickly. If fed heavily, a
hen will either lay OF fatten in short
time. and if the hens are Asiatics and
cease to lay the feeding must be done
cautiously. 1t is even better to get
|, them down to poor condition rather
| than permit them to become too TAT
An excellent mode of feeding is tt
allow plenty of bulky food, and to give
| each hen an ounce of raw chopped
:. meat in the morning and whole oats a
night. A few grains of wheat or corr
NAV be scattered in litter, in order tt
induce them to scratch, which will b'
beneficial; but grass may be fed Tree
ly. There is no advantage in break
inc an Asiatic from setting; but tn
hest way to break her is to place her OF
a grass-plot in a yard and compel he
to hunt for her food. A box may b
allowed her at night, which should b
removed the next day, unless IN dam
weather. The object should be to ge
her to work and reduce her in fiesf

this renders it easily recognizable.
The cast skins of the larvae are at
the narrow end of the scale and form
it's head. The female comes to ma
turity during the latter part OF Au-
gust, fertilization having taken place
in the earlier portion of the same
month, and egg-laying continues into
September, when the entire space be-
low the scale will be found filled with
minute, pale yellow eggs; something
over 100 in some cases, though often
much less. These eggs remain dur
ing the winter protected by the scales'
and from them hatch the crawling
larvae in early June. Growth is slow;
there is only one brood, and, when not
excessively abundant. the insect does
not do much injury. AS matter OF
fact, however. it does often become
excessively abundant. and ilacs, for
instance, may become SO covered that
no portion of the bark can be seen
between the scales. The male scales
are about one-sixteenth of an inch
long. and the female about double
that length.
Walnut and butternut trees are very
susceptible to the attacks of this spe'
| cies. and are sometimes killed even
when of considerable size. Among
fruit trees apples are the most sus
| ceptible and branches are occasionally
destroyed. Young trees may be killed
in some instances. but old trees are
rarely much harmed. OF the shad'
trees willow and maple are sometimes
severely injured.
The remedy is to spray with kero
.sene emulsion when the larvae ar
Matching, at which time they ar
killed by even a weak solution
