Charcoal for Gunpowder.

Charcoal-making for gunpowder is
much more complicated process
than the ordinary field kiln manufac.
ture. Only certain kinds of wood are
used-usually the young shoots OF
elder and willow-and it is cut in the
Spring, so that the bark may be
stripped off. 1t is then piled under
airy, open sheds and allowed to re
main several years until 1t is thor
oughly dried. When the powder-mak
er is ready for new supply of char
coal, the weed is cut into lengths OF
three feet and placed in tight iron
retorts, under and around which q
fire roars continually. The hampers
and pipes are so arranged that the
workmen have complete control Of the
heat At the end of the retort hole
is left for the escape of infiammable
gases resulting from the charming pro-
cess. A pipe catches them as they
leave the retort and conveys them
into the furnace, where they take the
place of a good deal of fuel. When
the flames of the gas become deep
blue color the workmen know that
the wood is sufficiently charred, and
the retort is cooled down as quickly
as possible. The charcoal is then lett
for a week or more before grinding,
because if placed in the machine at
once there is danger of spontaneous
combustion. The best charcoal is jet
black, and fractures show velvety sur
faces.

By cinder we mean any minute par

In most cases when foreign body
gets into the eye, it creates a little
discomfort for time, but Is soon
washed away by the tears without do

when the particle has sharp corners
to it, as is often the case with the
fine cinders from locomotive which
burns soft coal, the conjunction Is
cut and the body becomes hrmly
lodged in it, and all natures simple
efforts to rmove it are ineffectual
Man then tries to come to natures
assistance, and often makes bad very
much worse.
The sufferer winks the eye, rubs 1t
with his finger. perhaps inserts an
eyestone, and does whatever else ne
can think of to drive the particle
deeper into the conjunctive and ex

One who gets cinder in the eye

He must not rub the eye. He may

and wink several times rapidly. II
this does no good. the particle can
sometimes be dislodged by taking
hold of the lashes and drawing the
upper lid down over the lower, and
letting it slide back into place.
If the speck can be seen on look

removed by the tip of cone made
by folding the handkerchief several
time. Sometimes a friend can see the
speck by looking into the eye with a
magnifying glass, and can remove it
by gently touching it with the hand.

WATER FOR THE COWS.

Our water supply for the farm ami

shed attached to the barn, and trOughs
have been arranged so that this wat
or can be sent into tubs which stand
in the COW shed. The custom is to
fill each tub about half full and then
add enough hot water so that the
entire quantity is comfortably cool.
Cows do not care for warm water,
but they do like the chill removed
from the very cold water during the
winter Here is where our independ-
ent furnace or range comes into play.
It Is located near the barn, under a
rough roof to keep the storm off, and
the water is heated here without in

ed in an hour to properly temper the
water for horses and cows and leave
some pretty hot for the fowls, who

In extra milk we receive enough to
more than pay for the labor and time

POTATOES GROWN FROM SMALL
SEED.

Considerable argument is rife
among writer's as to the relative value
of small and medium or large tubers,
for use as seed. 1t is claimed that
the small tuber will often generally,
perhaps,) produce as large and fine
results as the larger tubers used for
seed. We believe this claim is open
to question at least beyond the first
generation, for it is safe to say that
degeneration can only be the result
from planting the small tubers num-
Der of seasons in succession. This
seems to be logical conclusion to
reach. On the other hand, 1t is quite
as logical to assume that the fine
medium or large tuber, containing as
1t must all the vigor and fine points
of the variety, will produce first-class
progeny and, we believe, this is es-
sentially the case when the seed tu-
bers are selected from ones own pro-
duct and selected at the proper time
and properly cared for. If the seed
potatoes are selected from the bin,
be the selection from small or the
large tubers, in the, spring just about
the time they are wanted for use it
