Colder Than Liquid Air.

DR.. Arsene d Arsonval, a member of
the French Academy Of Sciences, pro-
poses to announce his discovery of a
method of extracting from ordinary
petroleum oil liquid absolutely un-
freezable at a temperature of 205 de-
grees below zero, thus beating the
record for unfreezabllity hitherto held
by liquid air.
According to DR.. d Arsonval, the new
petroleum ether" is destined to be
of the greatest Importance to scien-
lists, especially in chemical research,
permitting the construction Of ther-
mometers Of a precision not hitherto
attained.
In his forthcoming communication
DR.. d'Arsonval will demonstrate other
valuable scientific uses of the new dis
covery. One of the Doctors collabora-
tors says that D'Arsonval is on the
point Of succeeding in experiments
which aim at the use of petroleum
ether for cooling the atmosphere of
houses during the summer, a project
which exceeding cheapness renders
practicable.

An Excellent Smokehouse.

a good smokehouse on any farm
is desirable thing to have, the great
difference between the price of home
grown pork and store bacon making it
paying job for every farmer to
smoke his own meat, and especially
for home consumption. 1t is too ex-
pensive, however. to have a well ar
ranged smokehouse, as generally con-
structed, in all cases, and hence the
reason for presenting the novel af-
fair shown in the accompanying illus.
tration.
AS can be seen, it consists of box
of such n size as Is desired, only 1t
should be four feet high, and Is usually
more convenient il three by five feet
square. The meat is inserted through
the door in the side. which should be
no less than twenty inches wide, and
hinged at the lower part so as to let
down from the top. Hooks should be
fastened to 1t. and staples driven Into
the sides and top of the box, as indi-
Gated, to hold the door in place when
closed.
For hanging the meat bore holes
through the top of the box and far
enough apart SO that the pieces will
not touch when hung. Pieces of wire
work best for the purpose, one end CT
which having been run through the
meat should be twisted together with
the other SO as to form loop, and this
inserted up through the augur hole,
where stick then pushed through the
loop will hold the ham secure.
The device should be built on slop-
ing ground, provided such is available,
for then the fire that is to furnish the
smoke can, be placed at the proper
distance from the box and yet have the
smoke readily conducted to it by means
Of several joints OF old stovepipe. The

II hardly think my wife sees the
joke yet" said Brown, with smile,
''and l am also inclined to think that
she was deliberately trying to create
q false impression, to which 1 plead
guilty.
"Qne night last week 1 thought l
heard some one prowling about the
house, and as there have been a num-
ber of houses broken into lately, con-
cluded that the noise was made by
burglars. AS l sat up in my bed lis
tening | CHANGED to glance into the next
room, the door of our bedroom being
open, and there stood n sure-enough
burglar examining our silverware.
With this startling discovery came
the chilling thought that hadn't such
a thing as firearm in the house. But
1 determined to run bluff, so turning
to my wife l said in loud voice:
"'Where's my revolver?

thing in the house, and you know

Is expensive, as the fence is useless
when he moves elsewhere. Usually the
renter exchanges crops and stock for
money when he moves, which is every
year or two. OF course he puts the
money in the bank and is going to
save it until he can pay cash for a
farm. During the year he sees some
thing that he is very anxious to own,
and as the money is easy to get, it goes.
or course he is going to have better
crop this year, and will make more
money on his hogs, and can easily re-
place the money, and more, too. 1t is
just as easy to use it all as it is to
use little, and before the end of the
year it is all gone.
The buyer cannot do this When he
sells crop, or bunch of hogs, and
pays the money on a farm, it is there
to stay. He must deny himself many
things, but he who satisfies every
want will not have his labors crowned
with success. Unceasing toll is the
half the year to raise the crop. Dur
ing the other half the renter does not
do enough to pay his expenses. He
makes as much as any farmer while
he works, but the buyer works while
the renter is idle. The weeds need
cutting, the fences need fixing, the fer
tilizers needs scattering, the bitches
need repairing, and many other things
need to be done, SO that the buyer is
busy the entire year. Perhaps he has
less amusement but amusement is
expensive.
A farm should have u good orchard
and q garden of shrubbery. Neither
trees nor shrubs are costly, but the
renter does not put out new ones, nor
take care of those already on the
farm. The renter leads an aimless, un-
settled life. He has no definite aim In
| view, and works in a haphazard, hit
or miss fashion, and 1t usually turns
out misg- The buyer knows just what
be has to do, and each day brings him
| nearer the goal Of his ambition. Half
of. the secret Of success lies in having
a definite aim and the other half in
unceasing toil.-G. l. Johnson, in New
York Tribune.

ENGINEERS FALSE ALARMS.
Why Things Look Different From What
They Are.

"When q mans sitting in an engine
cab, looking up the track with con-
stant watch for danger a burden on
his mind" said an engineer, "things
sometimes look different from what
they really are. This is especially true
if after long service his eyes begin to
be a little affected.
81 used to know an old engineer who
was one of the most careful men on the
road. In fact, he was always worried
| and fear of an accident got to be al
most a mania with him. One day he
was pulling a long freight down a pret-
ty fair grade when he suddenly clapped
on the air and gave the 'highbalP with
the whistle, sending the brakemen out
over the train setting the hand brakes
as fast as they could. Finally they
brought the train to a stop, and every
body ran up to see what was the mat
ter. Among the men who came up
was a red-shirted section man. When
the fellow got close, Jack, the engi-
neer, began to rip out the biggest
string of eXpletiyes I ever heard. He
dressed up and down any man who
would wear a red shirt while working
on the section, for Jack had seen that
shirt and thought it was red flag and
stopped the train"
81 Lad an experience myself not long
ago." spoke up another engineer. "It
was since the new electric headlights
were put in. You know how they look
coming up the track. They're so bright
| you can't see anything else, and it's
hard to tell whether they are moving
or not. I was running a freight, and
had a pretty heavy train. We were
coming around curve just before
making a siding to pass another train,
when one of those electric headlights
flashed on me. 1 thought it was all
over with me, but | stopped to put on
the brakes and reverse, and hung on
just q minute in the hope of getting
the train stopped before jumped. The
grade wasn't very heavy, and l got
the train stopped all right. Before
started to jump looked again. 1 dis

to be any nearer. l investigated, and
found that the other train was at a
stand still waiting for me at the
switch. h."-Salt Lake Herald.

Treating a Badly Drained Soil.

Drainage of a heavy, thick soil in
clined to be hilly and uneven. is some-
thing that is not always an easy mat
ter, but if one has such a farm, the
sooner he begins to make the improve
ment the better. 1t is waste Of time
and money to attempt farming on a
field that demands drainage badly, and
it is wisdom to abandon the farm en-
tirely or begin to drain it / have
succeeded so well with home system
of drainage with stones that it may be
worth recording. The soil was at first
quite full of stones, which l at first
picked off and piled in one part of the
field. A few stones would work up
to the surface every spring, and these
would also pick up. In the course of
a few seasons l had fairly good soil
without any stones to annoy me. But
the drainage was bad. The water
would settle in the soil and on the sur
face in the spring, and the land was
always late in getting into tillable
condition. 1t was cold and wet when
most other soils were warm and dry.
This made blowing late, or if done
early a muddy and unpleasant task.
The land sloped down in one general
direction, but there were numerous
depressions which collected the water
all along.
1 decided to drain. l planned the
general direction of the slopes. could
not afford tiles or any expensive ma
terial, and so l decided to use the pile
of stone. l plowed deep bitches across
the land. making them all run parallel
with the main slope, and cutting cross
bitches in the opposite direction. In
this way the whole soil of the field was
drained so that the surplus water
would run into main bitches and thus
down to swampy levels. Then I pro-
ceeded to fill in the bitches with the
stones, using the large ones first, and
placing them so that the largest posi-
BILE spaces would be left between. Cn
top CT these packed the smaller ones,
and on top of them placed n layer
of straw and cornstalks. Then topped
it off with six inches of soil, bringing
the surface up to within a few inches
of the general level of the field. Now
this drainage works perfectly. The
soil is never clogged with surplus
water. l do not plow over the drains,
but l have permitted a sod of grass
to form on them to mark their course
The water following the line of bitches
drains off below the surface, and there

hole for the fireplace should be about
two feet deep and at least six feet
away from the box. The trench for
the stovepipe should not be over one
half as deep, and dug so that the upper
end Of the stopepipe will come out un-
der the box near the centre; an old
elbow joint makes this very easy to
do. The pipe, of course, should be COW
cred with the loose dirt thrown out,
and the sides of the box banked up
with EARTH its cracks even being calked
as much as possible, for notwithstand-
ing all the precautions, enough smoke
will still escape to insure the neces-
sary amount of draught.
When the affair is completed and the
hams are all hung fire should be
kindled in an old kettle Oh pan, using
corn cobs for fuel, since these make
the best material, not to mention that
they are easy to handle and will last
long. AS soon as good smoke has
been started the furnace" should be
set in the hole prepared for it and
boards laid over the top, or, better, a
large piece Of sheet iron, tin, or some
thing Of that nature. By banking this

1t doesn't make any difference
whether a man has small means or
can pay cash, the best policy is to
buy. Every farmer is ambitious. He
wants to own a farm-to have some
place to call home, even If it Is only
forty acres. The expenses are about
equal, buying or renting. The rent
amounts to as much, and often more,
than the taxes, interest and repairs.
The renter has more money to put
into stock, but his possessions must
accommodate themselves to the farm
he rents, and this is often inconvenient.

AGRICULTURAL.


w. ]. Overton, of Illinois, writes to
the Breeders Gazette that he does not
believe the place for the draft horse
is on American farms. He has raised
some of the largest and best draft
horses in the county and sold them at
the yards at figures not reached by
any other draft horse in six months,
but he never could get the work out of
them he could get out of a good-sized
American horse with as much Morgan
blood as he could get. When they tried
to breed their small or medium sized
mares to the draft horses they thought
they wanted larger horses. They got
them larger in some parts. 1t might
be in the head, the legs or the body,
but usually not all in one colt. No
one will claim that they have as good
wearing breed Of horses as they
had twenty years ago. ''The farmer
who only raises colts for his own use,
with now and then one to sell, had
better stay by the good-szed, smooth
American-bred horse" he says.
