TRICKS OF THE TORNADO.
Actions Of Natures Death Dealing
Enesgy Described by an
ye-Witness.

A typical tornado acts as follows: Il
is a funnel-shaped tube half-mile high,
5000 feet in diameter at the top, 100
feet in diameter at the bottom. 1t trav-
els with forward motion, covering Is
to GO miles an hour. The outer edge
of the top revolves at the rate of seven
miles an hour; the rim near the bottom
of the vortex at 200 miles an hour. In
the lower tube is thus produced tremen-
dous centrifugal force, a partial vacuum
causing objects in its path to explode
and producing low temperature.
This cold generates the sheath Of
vapor that makes the funnel visible in
the form of cloud and causes con-
densation, producing electric discharges.
just as in thunderstorms, on large
scale. The tornado's duration may vary
from few minutes to several hours.
The winds great velocity prostrates
every obstacle in its path. Its effect
is not only to hurl objects before it and
to produce an explosive action in its
vacuum, but also to lift bodies in YER
teal direction.
A velocity as high as 600 miles an hour
in the lower tube has been reported.
Measurements of some recent tornadoes
have been computed by meteorologists.
The great waterspout of August 10, 1896,
in Vineyard sound, seven and q half
miles northeast Of Cottage City, Mass,
had a tube extending from the cloud to
the surface of the sea. a distance of
1900 feet. was $500 feet in diameter at
the top, 40 feet at the narrowest part
(1,500 feet above the seal. and 250 feet
at sea level 1t revolved at the rate of
IA miles an hour at the top and $50 miles
an hour at the bottom.

feet long. 1t has groove on each
side inches deep and inches
wide, which works over the guides. At
the top is spiked an iron ring, into which
works the trip. i. which hooks into the
ring and releases when the arm, j.,
comes in contact with the bar. k. The
follower, 8, supports the trip and is at
tached firmly to the end of hauling rope.
The whole machine must be securely
fastened to the holsters of the wagon by
placing piece, X, at the sides of the sill.
The forward end must be secured to tho
axle by chain around the stills. The
operation of this apparatus is quite
easy for two men. Drive over the place
where the post is to be set until the maui
is directly over the spot. Place the
sharpened post in position, raise the
maui with the windlas, and repeat until
the post is firmly driven.

DAIRY MATTERS.

Po,soNs IN FOOD PRODUCTS
Coloring Matters Have Become Uni
versal, Even in Fruits and
Vegetables.

In preserving foods the natural
colors. of food products tend to fade
and diminish with time. In order
that this fault be remedied, the use
Of coloring matters has become al
most universal in some forms of food
products. For instance, says DR.. H.
w. Wiley, in Pearson's. some time
ago was unable to find in the
city Of Washington a single pound of
uncolored butter. Tomatoes and
other red vegetables and fruits are
often colored with eosin: preserved
peas and beans. as Is we'll known. have
the green color fixed and accumulated
by the use of very Objectionable sub
stance, namely. sulphate of copper.
Added red Icoloring matters are often
found in wines. Preserved cherries
are first bleached so as to become
white, and then colored a beautiful
red, and many other Objectionable
practices of similar kinds are in
dulged in.
It is probably true that the palatabil-
ity OF foods is increased by having
them presented in attractive forms.
and to this end the natural colors
which food products have and which
are regarded as indexes of purity and
excellence should be retained as care
fully as possible. This, however, does
not seem to justify the practice of
any deception by the use of artificial
colors for the purpose of Initiating in
poorly colored food product the at
tractive and more pronounced colors
which characterize the better kinds of
food of that character.

At meeting of horticulturists, Prof.
John Craig, of Cornell university,
said:
EVERY modern system of cultivat-
ing fruits recognizes as q first prin-
ciple the right Of the fruit tree to be
considered a specific and sufficient
crop under the soil, or at least to be
regarded as a crop quite as exhaust
ing in character as any grown by the
farmer. Unless the fruit grower real
ICES and puts into practice the essen
tial part of this principle he will fail
as a cultivator of fruits. Experiments
in orcharding conducted some years
ago at the Cornell Experiment station
proved conclusively that it cost the
soil more to produce 20 average crops
of apples than 20 average crops of
wheat. In other words, more fertility
was extracted from the land in grow
ing an acre. of bearing apples for 20
years than in growing 20 consecutive
crops of wheat. AS rule, the farmer
recognizes the food needs of the wheat
plant, but too often does he look upon
the apple or fruit tree as mere ten
ant of the soil, and one which is not
to be regarded as specific cyop. Hav-
ing recognized the principle. the par
ticular method of orcharding must be
worked out by the fruit grower him
self. This method will depend upon
soil conditions and climate. Never
theless, it is safe to say that in eight
cases out of ten that method which
employs clean tillage for at least part
of the season will be nest successful
1t is also safe to say that all seco1-

Decriers of Cultivation.

No one needs intellectual cultivation
as much as those who decry it. Only
he whose doctrine is visionary, unsub-
stantial and inconsistent, he who has
neglected to ask himself precisely what
he means by the terms he uses, by his
belief and his faith, thereby endeavors
ing to eliminate all mysticism, would
ever think of decrying human reason.

FARM WITHDRAWING.
How the Product Nay Excel the Ar.
ticle Turned Out by the Aver
age Creamery.

With full knowledge Of the science
of modern buttermaking, and Q rea-
sonable experience, says one daily
writer, any painstaking dairyman can
produce better article than is pos
sible for the average creamery. Dairy
butter should bring q better price than
creamery prints.
The dairyman can control the con.
dition surrounding his cows, keeping
them clean and healthy, adopting such
methods as will insure perfect and pure
milk and cream from the time 1t leaves
the stable until packed in the tub.
The creamery man can only control
the milk after it reaches the factory.
He knows little of the conditions of
the stables and cows from which the
milk is produced that comes to him.
One or two filthy and careless dairymen
will contaminate and. faint the whole
supply The impure bacteria in such
milk multiplies itself several times ev-
cry hour, increasing in geometrical
progression.
The farm dairyman. says New York
Farmer, who avoids these evils will,
as soon as the improved qualities of
his products become known, have no
trouble in selling at price correspond
ing with the quality. The. writer has
for years been receiving for his butter
several cents per pound more than is
paid for creamery products in the same
markets. There are no conditions in
his dairy except those added by him
self, better than those found on the
average farm.
With product equal or superior to
that produced by the creamery, there
is more profit in making the butter on
the farm than in having it done at
the factory. A considerable ration of
the farmers of the United States are
finding out this fact and are conduct
ing themselves accordingly. They util-
ize the skim milk, which can be done
better when the butter is made on the
farm than when the milk is drawn to
a factory.
The future of farm dairying is in the
hands of the farmer. In the aggregate
the prospects are most flattering, aud
there is little doubt but that in the
near future prime Dairy" will be the
highest price quoted in the markets.
It will be the fault of the individual
dairyman If his product does not come
within the general quotation.
