INCREASING TIE FAnn INCOME.

a man owning q 100 acre farm
writes us that his average gross In
.spne from his farm. taking a series of
| years, is about IS per acre and wants
to know IL there is any way practical

really very small income. He has for
many years been what Is called n rails
er of grain and hay to sell, keeping but
little stock. As result he has greatly
impaired the fertility Of his soil and
thirty bushels of oats and corn to the
acre and ton Of hay to the acre are
about all he gets even with fairly good
seasons There are so many men in
this fix all over the country that il
justifies a somewhat extended com
ment by us. The system referred to is
all wrong. 1t goes from bad 10 worse
each year Il is continued There must
be radical change In this case,
which may be taken as a type. there
should be from twenty-five to thirty
acres of clover sown this spring; there
should be hog pasture fenced off and
at least fifty hogs kept; dairy of six
teen cows should be set to work ON the
farm, and coming right with these
COWS viii be the calves and the pigs;
half the acreage of corn should be
planted and twice as well cared for
as ever before; every mouthful of hay
and every kernel of grain produced on
the farm should be fed to some animal
right on the farm; a system of crop
rotation should be adopted which will
include clover every fourth or fifth
year While it will take three or four
years to get these reforms all brought
about, we will guarantee the result to
be that in the end the yield of crops
will be nearly doubled and the income
correspondingly increased. Thousands
Of men have done this, and other thou
sands are now engaged in this reform
work, and wehave never known the plan
to fail. But some may say they do not
like to take care Of dairy-too much
bother. Well, then. try sheep or raising
beef animals. and if neither Of these
variations of the plan appeals to you
the best thing you can do is to sell the
farm and go to town and run for super

power of absorption Is not only varia-
BILE for each body, but is also limited, a
piece of biotting paper, for example,
being saturated for a height of only
one inch Mr.. Leboyer, however, has
found stone which absorbs water to a
vertical height of as much as three
inches. This stone is called the domite
of Auvergne, and with 1t the inventor
has constructed the little motor repre-
scented in this drawing.
Two square sheets of this stone are
placed vertically In basin filed with
water. At the upper portion Of the
stones and in contact with them there
have been placed pieces Of amadou,
soft, spongy substance consisting Of
the more solid portion of fungus
growth soaked in saltpeter, which fall,
as is indicated by the drawing, on a
wheel. This wheel Is formed Of pad
dies of superimposed blotting paper,
and on the axis is placed strap with
two miniature pals. 1t is easy to I'M
derstand what follows. The water alb
sorbed by the supports of stone is In
turn absorbed by the amadou and then
by the paddles in contact. The left side
of the wheel then grows heavy and the
wheel turns, equilibrium then setting
In until the water of the soaked por-
ton Is evaporated. After this there Is
again rupture of equilibrium, and the
wheel turns slowly or rapidly, accord
ing to the state of the atmosphere. The
little pals mount and descend, raising
the water to about seven-tenths of an
inch.-Literary Digest.

A FLOATING NAVY YARD.
Uncle SANS Movable Repair shop "A
Unique Craft.

What Naval Constructor William J.
Baxter of the New York navy yard
calls "a miniature floating navy yard"
will soon take its first plunge into the
waters of the East river.
When the craft is completed the
United States navy will be in posses
sion of floating repair shop the like of
which the world has never seen and
one which, according to the officials at
the navy yard, will make ii possible to
repair second class cruisers, gunboats
and torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers in the bay off Tompklnsyille,
the rivers or in any place where there
Is water deep enough to anchor
The floating navy yard is about 40
feet long, 40 feet wide and will draw
about six feet Of water. 1t is built en-
tirely of steel, and every inch Of space
has been utilized At one end win be a
twenty tons, while at the other END
will be the boiler that will furnish
steam to operate dynamos, air com
pressors and the derrick Amidships
will be the navy yard proper
Practically every machine used in re
pair work will be installed somewhere
in this space, including miscellaneous
assortment of electrical and pneumatic
lathes, drills, slotters, shears. punches.
etc.
The apparatus will be capable of TAX
ing Off the smaller guns on battleships
and armored cruisers and of making
minor repairs to the superstructure
and interior of great ships. There is
nothing pertaining to the smaller craft
except hole below the water line that
the little navy yard cannot attend to,
The roof will be fitted with a number
Of big skylights, which can be removed
at will and through which ordnance
and parts Of ships can be lowered to
the shops.
The floating yard will not be self
propelling, but will have to be, lowed.
This Is one Of Its great advantages,
since to construct self propelllng,
craft would cost at least five times as
much as one that is to be towed, and
1t would require about three times as
long to build it. Again. the propelling
machinery would take up great deal

The German steamship lines running
to New York have been trying a new
propeller which will make their boats
from 10 to 80 per cent faster If its In
ventor's expectations are fulfilled. On
the thrusting face it has concave
blades which throw the water more
outward than the ordinary propeller.
The new propeller increased the speed
OF a boat thirty feet long from ten to
thirteen miles. A patent propeller put
on the Kaiser Wilhelm III. last June

from the Deutschland. If the new pro-
peller does what its inventor. Mr.. Ora
