Heat to Destrov Life.

Heat sufficient to destroy life, gen.
Grated by the normal function Of res
piration, has been the surprising dis
covery of Prof. Hans Molisch of
Prague. Freshly-cut leaves were in
sulated in wood, wool and cloth, with
a thermometer protruding, and in nine
hours they had become heated from
% to A degrees c., and within 15
hours to 51.50 degrees G. (125 degrees
F.). In the next 81 hours the tem-
perature fell to "a degrees c., then
rose to At degrees c., then fell finally.
A test at 43 degrees G. showed the
leaves to be still alive. The firgt rise
in temperature could be explained
only as result Of respiration of the
leaves, and the second rise was due
to the rapid development of bacteria,
which were few until after the first
maximum had been passed. BY inclos-
ing one end of tube of ether in
mass of insulated leaves, the effects
of a vegetable furnace were shown.
The liquid boils 34.5 degrees c., and
in this furnace it was very soon boil

in use for ages and still retains its
original form. Attempts to pull a cork
with the ordinary corkscrew in many
cases ends disastrously to the person
making the attempt, especially when
the cork fits tightly in the neck of the
bottle and refuses to be removed un-
til the bottle has been placed between
the knees and the corkscrews tugged
at for several minutes. Then it invaria-
bly, comes out with a sudden jerk,
throwing the contents in all direc-
tions. Notice how simply and easily
even the most tightly wedged cork
can be withdrawn with the corkpuller
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. After the corkscrew proper has
been inserted in the cork, the upright
arm forming wedge is placed on the
neck of the bottle. Using the handle
as a lever, the most obstinate cork
can be readily extracted without en-
dangering the clothes of the operator.
When not in use, the corkscrew and
wedge can be folded within the outer
end of the handle, which is followed
out to form a housing.

Riverhead, L. I.-From the present

Wainscott and Bridgehampton on the

There must be a marked improve

danger of typhoid fever and other ILL
nesses due to polluted water supply
are to be guarded against, says the re-
port, in substance. In the majority
of cases the scientists found that igno-

the wells caused the pollution Of the
water supply. OF the SO polluted wells
reported upon IL are 80 situated that
even extreme care would not make
them safe. Ten are poorly located,

Is are bad only because of poor sur

Some of the corn shocks will twist
and go down before you are ready to
use them. If such shocks have already
been damaged by rain, husk them out,
place the corn and fodder in small
piles, let dry for two or three days and
then store. If they are left in the
shock both will mould and rot.
Ground limestone Is better than
burnt limestone. Two tons per acre
may be applied if the soil is rather
acid, but If extremely acid three, four
and even five tons per acre, once in
three or four years. It may be thrown
upon the ground broadcast, and more
Of it should be applied on the hills.
It is not necessary to inoculate the
soil for cowpeas, but it is necessary
for'ssoy beans. 1t is much easier to
inoculate the soil for soy beans than
for alfalfa, but it is just as necessary.
Inoculating once is sufficient; it may
be done by putting a pint of the soil
containing the bacteria in the drill box
and letting it sift out with the seed.
On the majority of soils it is safe
to spread manure in the fall, either
for fall or spring plowing. If
manure has been accommodating around
the barn yard or in the manure shed
it is good time now to draw it out
and spread it upon the land In no
way does manure give as large re-
turns as when spread on grass land,
and there is no better time than fall.
The fall rains and winter SHOWS will
soak it we'll into the soil where it
will be available for the grass roots
when they start in the spring.
Many plow sod in the fall for DO
tatoes, sowing the field to rye, which
is turned under in the spring. This
freezes out and kills many of the
grubs which are always found in old
sod. AS it is not necessary to plant
potatoes early the rye gets consider
able growth and chokes out all weeds.
It also protects the soil during the
winter. This method makes two plow-
ings for one crop, but the advantage
is that the sod rots and the humus is
thoroughly mixed with the soil. The
rye also adds to the fertility and
makes the soil loose, giving the DO
tatoes a chance to grow to a large
size.
Look well after the water supply.
Keep all dishes and fountains scrupu-
lously clean; at least once a week
give them good boiling down in wa.
tor in which waShing soda has been
put and don't neglect this. II any,
thing has to be neglected, neglect any
other thing rather than the water sup
ply, for success cannot be attained
without this important factor in chick

urs nothing should be neglected, but
