The Na,,ona, Hymn Extended.

A new version of the National Hymn
has been published by Mr.. M. o. Zim-
norman, Of New York. AS explained
by the author, the old form contained
illusions that were applicable only to
New England. Mr.. Zimmerman has
undertaken to have the hymn grow
with the country and has added two
stanzas, the third and fourth. Under
its new production the hymn takes the
name "All America

Ecouomy I'm the Leeume.

Agricultural chemists tell us that
while two tons Of timothy hay, or a
good average crop from an acre, takes
away fifty pounds Of nitrogen, a crop
Of clover of same weight takes over
eighty pounds; likewise while the tim
othy hay takes off thirty-six pounds Of
potash, the clover takes nearly ninety
pounds. With phosphoric acid it is diff
ferent; the timothy takes twenty-one
pounds and the clover only fourteen
pounds. But the nitrogen which is the
most expensive element is drawn from
the air, to a large extent, In the case Of
clover, and so need not be supplied In
the fertilizer. Here is the economy In
growing the legume, which has the
power, as 1t were, Of making Its W
fertilizer, or most of 1t.

FEAT IN RAILROAD LIGHTING
English Line Tests New System
Which Greatly Reduces Cost.

English Line Tests New System
which Greatly Cost.
A new and interesting engineering
test and one of considerable value to
railway companies and of great COM
mercial possibilities has been made ON
the Great Eastern Railway Of Great
Britain, says the New York Tribune.
1t was to demonstrate the value of a
new system of lighting railway trains,
which is Known as the Leitner-Lucas
system.
The dynamos were entirely sealed
up; that is, the oil wells, brush and
reversing gear. The automatic cutouts
were similarly placed under seal, us
well as the storage battery, the seal
ing being done by the railway com
pany in such a way that no replace
ment or repairs could be made, no oil
added to the well or any part of the
machinery and no water or acids added
to the batteries. Mr.. Leitner's claim
was that under these conditions he
would light the carriages designated
during the time they would cover a
distance exceeding the circumference
OF the earth at the equator and during
the most exacting period of the year,
from October to the end Of December.
On Jan. / the distance agreed ON

25,2OO miles. The light had not failed
on any occasion, the illumination be.
Ing as bright on the last journey as on
the first. The lights were kept sup.
piled with an electric current at a
practically constant voltage, running or
standing. The seals were taken off.
and 1t was found that though the dyna.
mos had not had a drop Of oil, nor
the accumulators a drop Of water or
acid, they were liz first rate condition,
and could have gone on for another
month or more, still under seal, and
supplied a good and sufficient light.
The result of this test in a ommer
cial point of view is that during twelve
weeks and for a distance of 25.2OO
miles, coaches were ef~fectually and
even luxuriantly lighted, practically
without any human attendance at all.
and without renewals, requirements or
repairs-in other words, without any
cost, except for more coal, theoretically
consumed on the locomotive, which ID
such an infinitesimal amount as not to
be traceabla.

am glad you came this afternoon, because
l am not often to be found at home at

He is WELL" was the answer, thank

There was a little pause, then he add
ed, with a marked drawl-an Ameri-
canism to which he rarely gave way:
How Is Miss Grace?"
Agnes Winter looked up sharply. Mat

clever northern eyes with a half smile.
She gave a little short laugh, half pleas
ed, half embarrassed, like the laugh Of
som fair masker when she finds herself
forced to lay aside her mask.
Il wonder she said, 'how much you
know"
The strange, wrinkled face fell at once
into an expression of gravity which rem
dered it somewhat wistful and almost
ludicrous.
"Nothing-I guess"
How much do you surmise? ?" she
amended, unconsciously using a word to-
ward which he had a decided conversa-
tional penchant.
Everything. My mind is in a fevered
state of surmise."

asked, after a heightened pause.

Easton?"

though he made no attempt to justify
himself. She had touched his pride, and
there Is no prouder man on earth than
a high-bred North American. He merely
sat and endeavored to keep his lips still,
as Tyars would have managed to do. In
a second Miss Winters saw the result of
the taunt, and her generous heart soft
ened.
i beg your pardon" she said; II
there must be SON good reason"
She waited, in order to give him an
opportunity of setting forth his good rea-
son, but he refused to take it, and she
never had the satisfaction of hearing Il
from his own lips.

Grain and SiIage.

The object of an experiment at the
Ohio station was to determine whether
silage might not be substituted for a
considerable portion of the grain usual
ly fed to dairy COWS. Two rations were
fed carrying practically the same
amount of dry matter. In one ration
over 90 per cent of this dry matter was
derived from silage, and less than Is
per cent was derived from grain. In
the other ration over 81 per cent Of
the dry matter was derived from grain,
no silage being fed. The COW fed the
silage ration produced 96.7 pounds Of
milk and 5.0S pounds of butter fat Il
hundred pounds Of dry matter. The
COWS fed the grain ration produced S1.3
pounds of milk and 80 pounds of butter
fat a hundred pounds of dry matter.
The cost of feed a hundred pounds Of
milk was S0.6S7 with the silage ration
and S1.O5 with the grain ration. The
cost of feed a hundred pounds of butter
rat was 13.1 cents with the silage ration
and 22.1 cents With the grain ration.
The average net profit a cow a month

the silage ration, and $2.465 with the
grain ration.

Lime and Salt Keep Eggs.

The water-glass method is not the
nly one of keeping eggs in fairly good
condition for quite a long period. Some
years ago the Rhode Island Experiment
Station tested a number of different
methods, and found that salt brine and
lime water stood second only to water
glass as a preservative. The eggs were
held over a year in the pickle, and all
came out good. The station reported
as follows: The surface of the liquid
was crusted, and considerable silt had
settled to the bottom Of the jar. The
shells of the eggs which were sunken
in this silt appeared very fresh. The
exteriors Of the shells were clean and
clear. The air cells were not increased
in size. The whites and yolks were
normal in appearance. The whites beat
up nicely, but had a slightly saline
taste. Several used as dropped eggs
appeared to be nice, but had a slightly
sharp taste. This old-fashioned method
of preserving eggs Is thus again proved
effective.
