CLARIFYING BEESWAX.
An Excellent Met hod by Which a Re.
liable and Marketable Article
Can BE Produced.

The following method of clarifying
beeswax is warranted by its inventor
to produce an absolutely reliable and
marketable article. All scraps and old
pieces of comb should be saved during
the entire season and subjected to this
treatment.
Put all the comb in large iron ket-
tie, such as is used out Of doors on
all farms, and fill up the kettle with
water. Keep the contents boiling
steadily for several hours. Meanwhile,
fill large wooden tub half full of
water, and float clean board on the
ton of it. Cover the tub with clean
hemp sack, or some similar material,
allowing it to rest on the floating
board. Dip out the mixture of hot
water and wax and pour it slowly into
the sack. Here it should be gently
stirred and squeezed with smooth
round stick. All the wax worth saving
will soon run through and float on the
surface of the water. Clean the kettle
thoroughly and fill it again with clear
water; put the wax into it and boil
up again for some time. Next strain
carefully through a fine meshed cloth
several times. Throw all stra:ners
away, as they are useless afterward.
When the wax has cooled again, melt
it without water and pour it into molds,
ready for market, where it will COM
mand good price.-Prairie Farmer.

VALUE OF FERTILIZERS.
Nature Dema de- a Return for What
She Yields and the Farmer
Must Supply 1t.

Everything in the vegetable line
draws its sustenance directly from the
soil. In it's most nutritious stage each
plant contains the most valuable of the
elements of soil fertility it is capable
of consuming. Were farm crops re-
moved from the soil and no equivalent
return of the fertilizing elements
made, the farm must suffer thereby.
On the ordinary farm, however, such
sary, as there is usually enough stock
to furnish an abundance of manure,
which, if properly managed, will more
than supply the deficiency. Those who
find the supply of barnyard fertilizer
insufficient or inadequate to meet the
demands of the soil resort to the le-
gumes with most gratifying results.
There is scarcely a portion of the
country where some of the legumes
will not thrive and improve the soil.
They furnish the most expensive ele-
ment of fertility, nitrogen, at the low
est possible cost. When turned un-
der green, they render the soil rich in
humus and available plant food.
Strange as it may seem, the value of
most fertilizers as plant food is not the
only value they have in their relation
to plant life. The moisture they gath
er from the air adds greatly to their
worth in dry weather. The nitrates
possess the property of taking water
freely from the air, as do the salts Of
potash, gypsum, etc. Plants must have
food and drink-availab food and
water, within their reach. A farm left
to deteriorate in fertility cannot raise
crops to maintain the number of lives
that well-kept, highly fortified farm
can. Nature demands return for
what she yields.-C. B. Bartlett, in Epi-
tomist.

HELPFUL FARM NOTES.

There is vast difference between a
stingy farmer and an economical one.
The best help a farmer can have is
the help that teaches him how to help
himself.
Scatter seed and chaff from barn
floors in heDhouse and pig sly. Many
reasons for this.
Organization and education go hand
in hand. Ignorance is too jealous and
superstitious to cooperate.
1t would pay many farmers to hire
competent person to sell their farm
produce at retail in the local mar
kets.
The right man behind the pillow can
count more cash, retain more independ-
ence and have better health than the
man behind the counter.
The farmer who makes better sue
cess of his business than his neigh
Dor is the one who raises such products
as the people are willing to pay for.
In these days of fierce competition
is only by keeping down the cost Of
production and preventing all waste
that farming can be made successful.
If farmers would hang together and
make their wants known, they would
soon become power in the political
realm that party bosses would have
to reckon with.-Farm and Home.

HOW THE BRAKE IS APPLIED.

1917 feet draught and about $50 tons.
To the sides of this boat, about mid
ships, were fixed flaps or fins, which,
at a given signal from the wheel
house, flew open at right angles. Each
fin was ten feet long and 3A feet wide,
made of boiler plate three-eighths of
an inch thick.
These fins were started by steam,
but, of course, when opened few
inches the pressure of water threw
them back the full distance. In order
to hold them at right angles to the
side of the vessel, and thus get the
maximum retarding effect, water
cushions were placed at the back of
each fin. The pressure on these wa
ter cushion cylinders in no way
strained the sides of the vessel, al
though the skin was only fve-eighths
of an inch thick. There was not the
slightest leakage, nor was there any
jar. The cylinders, four in num-
Der, were each 10 inches long, with
five inches of water pressure; and
although the Eureka at times ran as
fast as II knots an hour, there was
no perceptible jar or strain when the
fins were opened and the vessel came
suddenly to standstill.
Another advantage of these fins is
the short distance required in which
vessel may be turned around. It
demonstrated during the trial given
the device that a boat could be COM
pletely turned around in little more
than its own length when going at
full speed. This was done by opening
one fin and keeping. the other closed.
The government officials who wit
messed the experiment were so deeply
impressed with the successful work
ing of the device that some step is
likely to be taken by them to urge it's
general adoption on vessels using the
St. Lawrence route to and from the
ocean.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Guesses at Worlds Age.

Guesses at the worlds age differ
widely. Sir Edward Fry points out
that the physicist, reasoning from
the dissipation of the earth's heat.
the contraction of the sun and the
action of the tides, finds that the
earth consolidated at time nearer
100000 than 100000 years ago;
while the geologist, from the present
rate at which sand, chalk, ETC., are
being deposited by river and sea, in
fers that 450,ooo,ooO years must have
elapsed since life began on the globe.
The biologist thinks the time must
be still more vast since the beginning
of life, on the assumption that spe-
cies have multiplied by very slow
variation, the estimate being 2,70O,-
00o,O0 years. Sir Edward contends
that the single phenomenon of
.spelorism,'' a sudden transmissible
variation among plants, sufficiently
shows that the biological estimate is
unnecessarily long. This abnormal
development was first observed more
than $50 years ago in the yellow
toad-fax of Baltic island, and has
since been traced by one observer in
10 varieties of plants. -

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
An Accomplishment That 10 ADseS
lutely Essential 20 Secure Gen"
timely Happy Home. r

Good housekeeping is absolutely es.
sential to secure well ordered and
happy home. Housekeeping must be
acquired by practice, study and experl-
ment, but the young and inexperienced
housekeeper generally reaches success
only through great tribulation. 1t
ought to be absorbed in girlhood, by
easy lessons, taken between school
studies. If girls were taught to take
as much genuine pride in busting
room well, hanging curtain graceful
~, or broiling a steak to nicely as
they feel when they have mastered
one of Mozart's or Beethoven's grand
symphonies, there would be fewer
complaining husbands and unhappy
wives.
The great lesson to learn is that work
well done is robbed of its curse. The
woman who is satisfied only with the
highest perfection in her work drops
the drudge and becomes the artist.
There is no dignity in sighted work;
but to the artist, no matter how hum
bic his calling, belongs the :'2onor which
is inseparable from all mans struggles
after perfection. No mother who has
the happiness of her daughter at heart
will neglect to teach her first tae du-
ties of the household, and no daugh-
ter who aspires to be queen at home,
and in her circle of friends, can afford

NEW STORAGE BATTERY.
A French Invention Which II Report.
ed to Surpass EdfSOn'S In Gem
elal Efficiency. .,

A storage battery which was invent
ed by Paul Schmitt is described by
French newspapers. If the current
accounts are correct, the device marks
distinct advance upon all other
lead batteries Ito which class this one
belongs) and also upon the Edison
nickel-and-iron accumulators.
The size of the electric charge
which a secondary battery is capable
of holding depends upon the amount
of surface which is exposed to chem
zeal action. A spongy plate is superior
to solid one in this respect. Much in
genuity has been devoted to invent
ing methods of preparing lead plates
so as to secure a maximum of surface
for a minimum of weight. Even when
fairly satisfactory way of attaining
that result is found, it is possible to
form the coating of the oxide in such
a manner that the fluid in the cell
does not have free access to all of the
microscopic particles constituting the
layer. Mr.. Schmitt declares that the
"active material may be SO compact
that some of the grains or particles OF
oxide are practically inaccessible, and
that the compacity of the accumula-
tor is reduced accordingly. That is
to say, it will not give back as large a
proportion of the electric energy put
into it as it should. Perhaps one-third
of the s'active material is useless.
One of the claims made for the Schmitt
battery is that each particle of oxide
minimum on the positive plate, and
litharge on the negatives complete
ly bathed in the fluid, and consequently
performs its full duty.
Another way in which better ratio
between weight and surface has been
sought by the Frenchman is by modi-
flying the architectural pattern of the
plate. Although the published de-
scriptions are a little obscure when
they touch this feature, itappears that
each plate is made of two rigid, per-
forated walls, between which the OK
ide is confined. 1t is alleged that little
metal is here used simply for pur-
poses of support, most of it serving the
purpose of a conductor.
That system of construction secures
another important advantage. 1t pre-
vents the particles of active material
from becoming dislodged, settling
down in the cell, establishing short cir
cults between plates of opposite polar
ity, and lessening the capacity of the
battery. The fault here mentioned
was formerly common one with lead
batteries; but it has been partially
overcome in some of the modern
forms. If NJ. Schmitt has made fur
Their improvement in this direction,
he will prolong the life of his cell, as
well as secure lightness.-N. Y. Trib-

LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

The Maltese milk goat is the latest
candidate as money maker.
Breeding pigs should be fed largely
on q vegetable and bulky diet rather
than on q concentrated grain diet.
It is said that grain ration that is
suited for cow serves very well for
;ens, supplemented, of course, with
grit, oyster shells, bones, etc.
Where animals have not had free ac-
cess to salt, it is best to work them
mn to it gradually, as they are apt to
oyereat and produce securing.
"Contentment is fat and every lit
tie thing that adds to the comfort of
the steer or makes him more contented
increases the gains which he makes
from each bushel of grain.
