land it spreads slowly. A much better

little cultivation The roots are cut in
pieces three or four inches long. Small
roots that are unfit for grating may be
used for this purpose. These are

Washington Colonel William Il.

congress, giving an illustrated history
offhe Declaration of independence, with
the biographies and portraits OF the
signers and the secretary OF congress
Advance copies of this work have been
received at the department. The llIus-
trations include not only photographs
If the famous state paper in its present
decayed condition, but also number OF
photographs taken when the document
was in a better state Of preservation
The volume was prepared primarily as
an aid to those in charge of the exhibit
of the Departmental state at expositions
In explaining that part of the exhibit re-
lating to the Declaration of Independ-

signers is complete, and there is an in
teresting facsimile of the broadside copy
of the declaration signed by John Han
cock. president of congress, for and on
behalf of the members of congress, at

Especially interesting is the correspond

Because of the historic value OF the
work of Col. Michael, congress ordered

SHARPENING OLD FILES.
Treatment to Which They May Be
Subjected Which Will Give Them
a New Lease of Life.

Dissolve four ounces saleratus in one
quart water and boil the files in it for
half an hour; then remove, wash and dry
them. Put in a glass or stone vessel
one quart rain water into which add
slowly four ounces best sulphuric acid
and keep the proportions for any
amount used. Immerse the files in this
from six to twelve hours. according to
the fneness of them. Then remove,
wash clean, dry quickly and put a lit
tie sweet oil on to cover the surface.
If the files are coarse they will need to
remain in about Il hours, but for fine
files six to eight hours is sufficient.
This plan is applicable to blacksmiths'
gunsmiths', timers coppersmiths'
and machinists' files. Copper and tin
workers will only require short time
to take the particles out of their files,
as the soft metals with which they be-
come filled are soon dissolved. Files
may be recut three times by this process.

Some Hints That VIII Prove Valu-

It is advisable to plant as early in the

says a correspondent Of the Prairie
Farmer that the later in the spring the
plants are set the better condition the
ground should be in and the frazer the
surface should be.
After the ground is thus prepared we
mark it off both ways. The rows the
wide way should be four feet apart and
the distance the narrow way depends on
the variety grown. If it is a rank
growing variety two to two and one
half feet will be close enough. II shy

used, and we have tried several, is made
by boiling pair Of straight shafts to
piece of timber two by four inches and
IL feet long; brace it well. We bore
| holes in the piece every four, two and
one-half feet These holes are made
slightly slanting. In every four-foot
hole we bolt square iron rod about
three feet long, sharpened at the lower

shafts you have a device something like

HAS AN AUTOMATIC SWITCH
Iowa Mans Device Of Great Tmpor-
lance to Railway Men Exhibit
ed in st. Louis.

st. Lotus. William r. Smith, OF
Council Bluffs, Ia, is exhibiting in ST.
Louis the model of an automatic rail-
road switch, which was patented
on January Z by Wintherlieh, Lund-
gard &c Smith. The idea worked out
BY the three was conceived by Hans j..
Wintherlich. a Dane, now residing at
Council Bluffs.
The switch is thrown automatically
by the fanges of the car wheels press
ing upon an extra rail, about 80 feet
in length, intended to be placed be-
tween the other rails at points conyen-
lent to stations. When the train is
standing one wheel of a coach is bound
to rest upon this rail, and it would be
impossible for the switch to be thrown
SO that another train could come in
on that track The hanges of the
wheels by the same method would
throw signal showing that the partic-
ular track is occupied.
The invention SO far is perfected for
use only at stations, but Wintherlich
has nearly completed the model of an
Improvement designed to make the in
Yention applicable to the block sys-
tenn on every mile of railway.
