DiSpOsdlOf the Dead
a Problem in Cities

which now are annexed to New York,
and constitute the geographical center
of the enlarged city, might increase
proximity of vast and dreary -charnel
fields.
A law relating to public health pro-
vided forty years ago that no grave
be dug or opened south of Eighty
sixth street, and that no cemetery be
opened in any Part of the city and
county of New York. This law SHOULD
be enforced and applied not to Great
er New York alone. but to the terri
tory within radius of 100 miles
around every populous town. People
who insist on their inanimate bodies
remaining inviolate should have them
carried to distance where they can
neither Inconvenience nor injure the
living, who need the room, and are
natural heirs of the departed. Famous
irtermural cemeteries, like Mount
Auburn (Boston), Greenwood (New
York;, and Laurel Hill (Philadeiphia),
could be transformed into admirable
parks. Monuments of architectural
beauty might remain undisturbed
Others might he replaced by trees
with suitable tablets to mark the
SPOT of those upon whose dust they
grow. The Turks, 10th to disecrate
the grave of Mussulman, have
adopted q similar custom. and thereby
have made the cemeteries of Constan-
tinople attractive to strangers.-Louis

] science o, watering Plants.

With q consignment of Seeding ever
greens which received p few days ago
was enclosed this order: Don't. under
any circumstances, water oftener than
every two weeks, but when watering
soak thoroughly" After studying and
testing this advice found it to embody
the correct principle. A little water
placed each evening on plant will soon
evaporate, the surface becomes baked,
the fine roots hunt the surface and the
plant is injured instead of benefited.
BY the soaking method the ground must
necessarily be well cultivated to catch
the water readily; the moisture pene-
trates the SOIL drowning the flbrous
roots downward, and the results re-
semble those caused by a good rain. II
is in harmony with successful irriga-
ton In the West There will be more
gained by thoroughly soaking the
ground around a single tree or plant
each evening than giving a hundred
the customary pint. My Seeding ever
greens were soaked to plow depth and
as soon as the surface was dry enough
worked into dust mulch. Each morn
ing for week the surface looked as II
1t had received a good shower. al
though we scarcely had a dew. The
growth of the trees attested the cor
rectness of the plan. A few plants pos

thrive under this treatment, but they
would certainly be the exception and
not the average.-W. A. Ballenger in

string hangs very near the surface of
the board b d. When B d is exactly
vertical, A c is exactly horizontal if
the angles at d are true right
angles.
The dimensions of the triangle may
be about as follows: A c, IL feet
lon; A B, about feet inches; C B,
about 10 feet; B d, about 6 feet long.
Other dimensions will do as well, the
essential features being the straight
board, A c, and the board B d at
right angles to it and near enough
to one end of A C for the man car
rying that end of the triangle to see
accurately the position of the plumb
line. The board B ID should not be
less than four feet long or the plumb
line will be too short to give satis-
factory results. 1t will frequently be
found convenient to have a scale of
feet marked off on A C.
In marking on the board B D the
line in which the plumb line will hang
when a is exactly horizontal, con-
siderable care is required. Two pegs
are driven into the ground as far
apart as and C for these points to
rest on. The highest one is driven
into the ground until the plumb line
follows about the center line of the
board b d. Having marked this po-
sition of the plumb line, the triangle
is reversed so that the end of B rests
on the peg where before we had the
end c, and vice versa. Should the
plumb line make an angle with the
first line marked on the board, then
the correct position will be exactly
in the middle between these two
lines. This point should be perma-
nently marked on the board B d. In
using the triangle when the plumb
line passes through this point the
base of the triangle will be level.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

You can have no success with poul-
try if you do not keep your flock
clear of lice.
There are hundreds of focks of
poultry that do not pay for their
keep and trouble.
When new plans and methods are
taken up on the farm it is well to
commence experimentally and not
risk all of the eggs in one basket.
Merely shaping up a roadway in
red or yellow clay, by machinery or
hand, does little good, and the money
is largely thrown away.
The farmer should keep pure bred
poultry, the best he can get and
breed pure, but he need not make any
special effort to breed true to
feather.
To improve poor land at the least
expense we must first begin by rails
ing crops that do not leave the soil
poorer when matured than when
sown.
Good cows are in constant demand
and will be for long time, and at
prices that will pay for raising by
those who will learn how to raise the
best in the best manner.
In butter dairy, besides raising
calves, there will be surplus of
skim milk that will enable one to
produce good deal of pork and poul-
try, Both are fairly remunerative.
mort nj hle forue with n fau, bloo1,
smiths tools is good investment on
farm. The boys will soon learn to
weld iron and much time and money
may be saved by doing jobs that
otherwise have to be taken to town.
