Steamed custards are delicious, but
must be steamed slowly and carefully.
Adding cold water will undoubtedly
cause a steamed pudding to fall. A
very hot oven will scorce any pudding
in which whipped white of egg is
spread on the top, while the inner part
will be quite uncoolled. When boiling
a pudding such as rolypoly, or suet
dumping, it often sticks at the bottom
of the saucepan when dropped in. a
plate in the pan will prevent this.

Profits of MidGIemen.

Consumers of fruits and vegetables
in large cities are charged high prices
by the hucksters and grocers. In Chi
cago peaches are selling retail for thir-
ty-five or forty cents for a small basket
containing about twenty to twenty-five
peaches; other fruits and vegetables in
proportion. 1t would be interesting to
farmers to know just how much of this
is booked as profits. Farmers get no
such prices; in fact they are lucky If
they get one-third of the prices now
prevailing in Chicago. Either some
class of handlers is making exorbitant
profits or there is an unnecessary eX
pense attached to the business of dis
tribution. 1t costs money to handle
produce. 1t requires storage. horses
and men, and none Of these things are
cheap in the city, but there is no good
reason why the consumer should pay
three hundred per cent profit on what
the farmers sell.-Farm, Field and

reduces the gain on the former from

have only half the investment, half the
work and half the feeding, and you
would gain S14 each year.
There would be no surplus butter on
the market for years to come and
prices would rule strong if all the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding of

ing out the Improbable COWS from their

FatteninE Stock,

Weight is the main object of the
farmer in fattening stock for market,
and this weight is easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by eX-
perience that fat is a desirable quality,
and that it adds to the attractiveness
of carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated at the experiment sta
tions, however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost. with a greater pro-
portion of lean interspersed with the
fat. by feeding a heterogeneous ration,
which means that, in addition to a lib
eral supply Of corn, an animal should
receive a variety of food that is not so
rich in oil. starch and sugar as is corn
This fact is worthy of consideration.

SCIENTISTS HAVE NEW SCHEME.
Aim to Utilize Forces of Atmospheric
Electricity.

Franklin's bolt never has been
snatched from the skies and harness
ed in human service. But M. A. Brey-
del, Frenchman, thinks it should.
Explorations of the atmosphere have
proved that large differences OF po-
tential exist in it at points not widely
separated 1t has been found that
difference of potential of 100 volts per
meter has been measured, and even
values as high as 300 volts. A con-
ductor might be placed with its ends
at two points where the difference or
potential is 10000; or under favorable
conditions it might reach 10000 volts.
There should be some means OF util-
izing these enormous forces of atmos-
pheric electricity. It is suggested
that a possible method Of collecting
the energy would be to send up bal
looms surrounded with network OF
conductors. 1t is thought that by
means of a transmission line carried
up a mountain so as to give differ
ence in latitude of about 800 meters
between the upper and lower ends,
that this should make available po-
tential of from 10000 to 10000 volts.
Remains the question how this high
tension is to be converted to pressure
suitable for commerce.
