Worlds Fuel lnexhaustibIe.

| WIN wv t'SN'HrSN'N'~'
Some essayists declare that the
worlds stock of fuel is being con-
stantly decreased and that in a COM
paratively short time it will be neces-
sary to husband our resources in this
direction, or fall back upon water
powers for manufacturing purposes.
The president of the Institute of Civil
Engineers in his address a few weeks
ago showed that, in SO far as coal Is
concerned there is no occasion for
alarm, there being millions of tons as
yet untouched in various parts Of the
world, while concerning peat as a
substitute for 1t, 1t is inexhaustible
As to water powers, the millions Of
horse power now going to waste in
most cases, or but partially employed,
are practically incompatible. 1t is
true that these powers are found in all
parts of the world, and frequently far
from markets or facilities for trans
portation, but 1t Is noteworthy that In
this country water powers are being
udlized to a much greater extent than
people generally have any idea Of.
Niagara and the falls at Sault Ste.
Marie are examples near by, while in
California 1S2,3OO horse power have
already been placed, with more to
follow. There Is no danger of exhaust
ing natures storehouses Of power, but
here is always the possibility that
he present sites Of industry may be
shifted to other parts of the world,
ind possibly change the artificial
boundaries Of nations.-Iron Age.

DAIRY NOTES.

Rainy days afford a good time tt
sweep the cobwebs from the corners
of the COW barn, and give the walls
q fresh coat Of whitewash.
1t will soon be time to get the
blanket hung over the calf stable
door, and curtains at the window, that
the calves may, during the heat Of the
day, escape from the Fostering flies.
The late spring calf is usually an ex-
pensive luxury, as his feed must be
carried to him in pail all summer,
and In basket next winter, while the
autumn calf Is now prepared to hustle
for himself.
To keep off the flies mix one part
carbolic acid with 20 parts fish oil,
and apply to the cows with brush,
sponge or cloth once in four or five
days, or by mixing very little kero-
sene, 1t may be put on with sprayer
The COWS are now showing how
much milk they would give the year
round If they were only given
chance. How many dairymen will take
q hint from this, and strive to give
the cows a little more summer in win.
Ter time?
The keeping Of a chart showing to-
al amount Of milk received and but
,er made from the same with per-
,ent Of yield will be an eye opener to |
many butter.maker. The variations
n yield from day to day will set him

THE OLD AND NEW LlLAcs.

| A few years ago the writer agreed
with the popular opinion that the good
old lilac, purple and white, of the old
homestead would be spoiled by any at
tempts to enlarge or double Its flowers
or modify in any way Its peculiar
fragrance. But the lover Of the good
old varieties must decide in favor Of
the best new sorts after careful exam
ination. The foliage is better, they
blossom profusely when much young
er, and trusses of bloom are larger,
the petals are larger and thicker, the
fragrance Is more delicate, and the
doubling Of the flowers Of some Of
them give the rich expression and
even the colors Of the best hyacinth.
Of the single Towering sorts, well test
ed in Iowa, one Of the best is Charles
x. 1t is a strong grower, has good
foliage and its very large reddish pur-
pie trusses are dellcately fragrant. OF
the white single varieties Maria Le-
grayne is one Of the best. 1t flowers
when very young and Its pure white
trusses are large, well formed and
very fragrant. OF the double varieties
we highly prize the following: Presi-
dent Carnot, trusses very large, flow
ers perfectly double with peculiar
mixed expression of light blue, pink
and white. Pyramidalis has very large
compound clusters that divide into
small trusses resembling the light blue
hyacinth spike. Its fragrance is pc
culiarly fine. Madame Jules Finger,
blooms very young, trusses very large,
quite compact, flowers large, perfectly
louble. Leon Simon only differs from
he above in the color Of its flowers,
)eing darker in its purple and blue
shades. Mons Maxine Cornu is men
Toned last, but in bush, leaves, great
russes of double flowers and rich
fragrance it Is one Of the best. The
'nly purpose Of these notes is to draw
ttention to the remarkable advances
made in improving this good old
hrub. PROF. J. L. Budd.

he had the greatest aversion lor' tne
reply would probably be, Keeping

tanned larger size they can be
neglected somewhat, and there is lit
tie danger of the weeds choking
them, but early in the season each
plant must be carefully weeoea sew

and poor crop Of vegetables will be
the result. What backaching work

saved by sitting the ashes taken from
cook stoves and furnaces as last win

strike, when 1t was not always posi-
Bile to obtain fuel even If provided
with plenty Of money to pay the high

Never feed whole grain to chickens
from trough. The stronger and the
holder birds will get more than their
share and more than is good for them,
while the weaker ones will be under
fed. Scatter all grain fed over as
wide an area as it can be thrown. If
in narrow quarters then go to some
pains to bury it in straw or litter.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Cut out the dead canes Of blackber.
rles and raspberrles. This should have
been done last winter or spring, but
II It was neglected then, 1t can be done
after the fruiting season has passed.
Keep the ground loose in the or
chard with double-shoyel plow and
disk harrow, using the hoe freely
around the tree. II the trees are well
cultivated and kept clean, borers and
other tree pests will do much less
damage.
If the old dead bark Is scraped of
the fruit trees, and wash made Of
lye and soapsuds thoroughly applied
1t will destroy many of the eggs and
larvae Of many tree pests hiding
here.

Sensitive Electric Analysis

a
To produce couple OF pounds Of
radium takes no less than 0'OOV tons
of uranium residue, and the cost Of
handling each ton is $500. To secure
the chemically pure radium Is enor,
mously expensive, and IT would be
be impossible to do this by chemical
analysis; therefore, the far more cen.
sitive electrical method is employed,
and chemists say that they can detect
the presence of radioactive sub.
stance by the means Of such a minute
quantity that it would require 5000
times this amount to show at all in
The spectroscope. And 1t is stated
hat this method Of electrical anal.
isis is thousands Of times more sen.
'ltive than spectrum analysis and mil
ions Of times more sensitive than

FOUNDATION OF GROWTH.

What we call cells make up the
body Of plants. Some Of the very
smallest forms Of plant life are made
up Of a few cells, but most plants
have millions Of these Take a
compound microscope and place i'm.
der 1t section from any plant; 1t will
be found to consist entirely Of cells
arranged side by side or one over an.
other. Some Of the cells may be alive
and some dead. In large plants most
Of the cells are dead, even though the
plants themselves may be growing
vigorously. A cell is a minute globu-
lar body with a tough wall inclosing
fluid interior, which is called bioplasm,
This bioplasm has the power to draw
to itself more fluid through the cell
wall and thus increase the size Of the
cell. When the cell can grow no larg.
er 1t divides itself into two by draw.
Ing In the cell wall, Just as a sausage
maker divides his sausages by twisting
and thus contracting the skin. Each |
Of these particells then grows to the
size Of the original cell and itself d.
vides. This explains the rapid growth
of plants at some stages, after they
have got a good start, as we say, and
1t also explains their slow growth at
first, Any scholar that has ever tried
to double a number for twenty or thir-
ty times will understand Said a man
to the king of Burmah: "Give me a
grain of wheat for the first square on
the checker board for the second, 4
for the third, and so on for the whole
GA squares, Said the king: Certain
w. command that 1t DO done" His
ministers found there was not wheat
enough in the kingdom to pay the
bill. That is how cells multiply. 1t
is why we wake up some morning to
find that the weeds have got ahead of
us--that they have overrun every
thing. He who understands this and
Is wise will assail the weeds when ,
they are at stage of slow growth, ,
rather than wait till they are on the $
gallop.
In time most cells lose their power
of division or increasing in size These c
walls become thicker and harder and f
heir interior solidifes. They have s
been squeezed into various shapes. t.
Growth having ceased, they are known n
rs dead cells, when they are of use Il

EVOLUTION OF THE POTATO.

To-day Germany fairly rivals Ireland
with its potato crop, and outdoes most
other countries. Fully an eighth OF
the arabic land Of the empire is
planted to the nutritious vegetable.
Half the large yield is used directly
as human food; considerable other
portion is given over to fattening
stock. There still remains an enor.
nous surplus after this, however, and
1t Is the success with which the Ger
mans have met in turning this sur
plus into manufactured products that
is most remarkable.
\ Among these manufactured products
are starch, glucose, potato -four, dex.
tin, and starch-sugar, each Of which
appears prominently on the list Of Ger
man exports, all together contributing
large sums every year to the profits Of
German manufacturers and exporters,
But the alcohol which the Germans
make from the potato Is the most valu-
able and wonderful product Of all.
This as a light producer fairly rivals
the electric current, 1t Is said. The
apparatus for its practical use includes
lamps, chandeliers, street and corner
lights, in which alcoholic vapor Is
burned like gas, in a hooded flame,
covered by a Welsbach mantle. So
used, potato alcohol is described as
burning with an incandescant fame
equaling the electric light in brilliancy.
Indeed, we are officially told now by
our consul general at Berlin that po-
tato alcohol is competing with gas
and electricity with increasing sue
cess every where.

Clarksville, Tenn. Jan. PA well
attended meeting was held here today
of the Tobacco Growers association
of the Clarksville district, which was
organized year ago The associa-
tion is preparing petition to congress
urging the repeal of the present tax
on tobacco, so that the producer may
sell as he pleases to whom he pleases
The association declares that this
would produce greatly increased
demand throughout the southern states
directly from the producers hand and
have the effect of broadening. stimu-
lating and enriching the industrial
growth of tobacco.
