Agricultural Implement Trade.

The reports from the great wheat
growing sections are so encouraging
that the manufacturers Of agricultural
implements are said to be increasing
their force Of statesmen. Last year they
reduced them, because Of the loss from
insects In the Southwest and from the
drought. While they will push the
mowers, reapers and binders, they will
not neglect plows and cultivators. and
probably will try to sell anything they
have on their lists, as prices Of farm
products have been high enough to
leave the farmers in very good condi-
tion to buy, even If the crops were not
as large as In some years. And II light
ming does not strike twice in a place,
they may have better crops this year.

If your strawberry market pays high
prices for early fruit, large, highly col
ored and attractively packed. 1t would
be foolish for one to raise mainly the
mid-season sorts and market them un-
attractively. If potatoes bring good
prices and cabbages are drug. don't
raise cabbages. If white eggs are want
ed, don't keep fowls that lay brown
eggs, and vice versa. On the other
hand. if the best market is for the car
cass, keep Plymouth Rocks for this
trade and use the brown eggs at home
If they cannot be sold for fair price.
In short. all along the line, raise what
the market demands and do not try to
educate the public to some article 1t
does not want, simply because it seems
the best article to you.

WHAT A DROP OF WATER
DOES AS A MOVING POWER,

Bend match in the center SO that
1t forms an acute angle, and place 1t
over the neck of large bottle; on top
of the match place piece of money, a
cent for instance, as shown in figure.
The trick is to put the money into the
bottle without touching the match or
the bottle. Dip your finger in water,
holding it over the place where the
match is bent, and allow one or two
drops of water to fall on that point.
The two sides of the angle will open
slowly, allowing the money to drop
into the bottle

water ON the Farm.
Drinking water on farms is given buk
little consideration 40 to its purity
when 1t is derived from springs, but
many farms are supplied with water
from open wells. and It's purity in such
cases depends largely upon the mode
Of protecting the well and the surround
ings. Wells being deeper thnn bitches
or drains, and the tendency Of water
being downward, much soluble matter
gets into the well that is unknown to
the farmer. The water may appear
clear and pure, be free Of odor, and yet.

salt will go with the water to the low

be toads and insects in the water,
which drown and decompose. The wells
should be covered and the surroundings
kept clean, with good drainage In al
directions. Driven wells are better than
those that are open, and should be used

Many Of the tests at experiment sta
tions have shown better yields from
planting ENTHUSIASTICALLY. rather than
very early; from planting larger num-
Der or kernels per acre than most good
farmers think advisablsi from planting
small growing varieties In rows closer
together than is best for large vhrie-
ties; from giving shallow and level cnl-
tiyation rather than deep and ridged
cultivation; from planting rather shall
low early and deeper in late planting.
Other trials have seemed to show that
very frequent cultivation does not re-
pay its cost; that 1t is important to cul
tivate as soon as may be after rains;
that deep cultivation while the stalks
are small may be helpful, II followed

PLEASING FRENCH TRAIT.
Love Between Brothers strongly
Marked characteristics.

One of the ways in which the close
union of French family life shows IT
self is the great affection of brothers
for each other. There Is an intimacy
between them In good and evil fortune
which one does not find In other coun-
tries. A brother who takes high po-
sition by his talents loses no opportuni-
ty to forward the interests of one Of
lesser ability or of no ability. He never
treats the latter as a drag on him, and
perhaps scarcely feels that he is one.
Married brothers often like to live In
the same house, on different floors, and
to hire summer villas In close prox-
unity.
Most of the famous Frenchmen
whom | knew had each brother to
whom he was devoted. Louis and
Charles B,anc. though so dissimilar in
appearance, tastes. disposition. and
married TO ~omen who disliked each
other were. morally speaking, Siamese
twins until death severed the bond.
The same might be said of the GARNER
Pages, of Jules Favre and his brother
Leon, of Ernest and Arthur Picard, of
Pueeh. the sculptor. and his brother
the deputy. Paul and Hippolyte Flau-
drin. the painters. were known in their
student days as the Siamese twins. 1t
not infrequentIy happens that broth
ers go into literary partnership. In
stances that occur to me are the Con
courts, the Rosnys, the Marguerittes.
1t would be impossible to discern the
work of one of any of these brothers
from that of another. What is very
curious, each brother, as in the case OF
Charles and Louis Blanc, Ernest and
Arthur Picard, Jules and Leon Fayre,
differed strikingIy in every characters
tic from the other. The dissimllarity
of the Marguerittes is so great that one
wonders how brothers could be so un-
like. Alphonse Daudet was not bit
like his brother Ernest, an accom-
plished novelist also.-London News.
