accordingly began to rattle off Latin
phrases and French idiOms in man

Perennial interest attaches to the
idea of utilizing tides as sources of
electric power, and the Electrical
Review mentions some promising
enterprises. One of these is based
on the plan of creating two reser-
yoirs or basins which communicate
with the sea by means of control
valves. One of these basins is
filled at high tide and the other
emptied at low tide. The water is
allowed to flow from one to the
other, driving turbines connected
to generators. A study of the
tides has shown that in this way
continuous power can be depended
upon for about 10 hours a day.
In England three important in
stallations are now being consid-
cred. One of these is at Chiches-
ter, where the estuary may be
easily divided into two basins ap-
proximately equal in area. 1t is
estimated that under ordinary tides
about $500 horsepower may be
obtained, and under unusually high
tides, 1890 horsepower, for 10
hours day. At Menai Strait
dividing dam will give power,
owing to the difference in time for
the tides at the two ends of the
strait and to the difference of 28
feet in the height of the tides at
the the two ends. At Bristol by
having two reservoirs a fall of 80
feet will be obtained, giving 24o, 900
horsepower. On the coast of
Brittany and Normandy the diff
ference between high and low tide
is 40 feet. In the Bay of Fundy
on this continent, the rise and fall
are still greater. The pull of the
moon on the sea produces immense
effect, measured in horsepower, ,anC
it naturally vexes this utilitariar
age to see so much power wasted
The same may be said of the dali,
waste of the suns heat, especial,
in rainless countries. By the tim

1T is DYSPEPSIA.
A Multitude of Ailments Arise
From Indigestion

1t is generally conceded that multi
tude of human ailments arise from in
and in it's various forms it
taxes the skill of the physician to pres
cribe the proper remedies. 1t is un-
deniable that the closest intimacy
exists between happiness and good
digestion. A healthy digestion aids
materially in making a cheerful dis
position, and the "feast of reason and
flow of soul' is due as much to the
functional integrity of the stomach as
to strong and generous mental or
ganization.

FEEDING SWINE.
Clean Food Required 10 Produce
Good Meat.

Clean Food Required TO Produce
Good Meat.
The main expense in raising swine is
their feed, and it is the duty of the
feeder to get the most out of it that he
possibly can. Some farmers make q
mistake in throwing feed to their hogs
and letting them take care of it. When
hogs are fed in this way they do not
receive the full benefit of the feed, for
portion of it is wasted. We must re-
member that one days poor feeding
will more than cOunterbalance two
days of good feeding.
Regularity in feeding swine is of very
great Importance, though some are
slow in realizing this fact The diges-
tive systems Of animals adapt them
selves to receive food at certain times,
and if the food is not given at the ex-
pected time the animal. is worried
thereby. This results in loss of one
kind or another. Frequently the food,
being late, is taken in too large quanti-
ties or too hurriedly for the best good
of the animal. For this reason it is to
our advantage, as well as the hogs, to
make it rule to feed him at exactly
the same time each day.
We must be careful what we feed.
Any old thing that no other animal will
look at is not good enough for hog
| feed. We cannot expect good meat I'M
less clean food is used. Some farmers,
no doubt, congratulate themselves that
they have all the corn their hogs will
consume and that there is no better
feed. They will start the hogs exclu-
sively on corn at the commencement of
the fattening period, using no care not
to give them too much of it, and finally
the result is that the appetite and di
gestion of the hogs are injured, anC
they are given backset that they will
not readily overcome. Corn should be
fed in small quantities at first, gradu
ally increasing the amount as the hogs
stOmachs become stronger until they
are on full feed, says writer in Farm
Press. Better results are produced by
feeding corn in relatively small quaint
ties in conjunction with mill foods
alfalfa and clover hay and such food
as turnlps. articnokes, etc.

WINTER FEED.
MangeI wurzels as n Substitute For
SiIaEe.


A Massachusetts farmer, writing in
New England Homestead, has the fol-
lowing to say in regard to mangel
wurzels as winter feed:
Mangel wurzels are easily cultivated
provided the necessary work is done
just at the critical time in their
growth. The thinning and cutting out
is rather tedious job, and when there
are four to five acres it means neceS-
sary attention at a time when many
farmers are very busy with other Ia
Dor. | find them almost invaluable for
winter feed We feed them to our cat
tie, both dry and milk cows, literally.
AS an alternate feed with turnips for
sheep there is nothing to take their
place. 4 milk COW in full milk is fed
about d bushel day. They are cut up
small with root cutter and take the
place of silage and, find, give much
better results both in health and con-
dition of the herd and in the supply Of
milk. To sheep they are fed whole;
also to hogs, which eat them vora-
ciously.
Take any good piece of rich level
land, cover it with good heavy coat
of we'll r0tted manure, plow under in
the fall and leave rough all winter.
Then in the spring, when the land Is
dry enough to work nicely and cleanly.
cut up with disk harrow. Pulverize
thoroughly. then smooth off with
smoothing harrow. Mark out lines with
marker three feet apart. Then sow
seed with hand drill along these marks.
Use four to five pounds of seed to the
acre sown from middle to end of May.
The thinning operation is the difficulty,
but is essential to the success of the
crop and should be done promptly. If
the plants are allowed to grow tall
and weak before thinning they are
spoiled. Too much emphasis cannot be
placed on keeping them clean, and the
careful farmer will be more than re
paid by his crop.
