Utilization of Waste.

A distinguished chemist once OBJ
served that MY lady writes tender
sentiments to her lord with ink made
from ansold copper coffee pot on paper
made from old collars" The utiliza-
ton Of waste products, which is add
ing so enormously to the wealth Of
the world, furnishes many such fan
tastic adaptations.
Give me-" DR.. Long said, "the sew
age of New York, and l will return
you yearly the superior milk of 100000
cows" The waste soapsuds from
wooden factories which used to pol
lutte hundreds of rivers, Is now precip-
itated and the coagulum is pressed
into bricks and converted into supe-
rior Illuminating gas. These are only
examples of the ingenuity of man.
That the field Is far from exhausted is
instanced In the estimate that from
900 to 1000 tons Of fine coal are
thrown away every day in the ashes Of
New York. 1t Is not impossible that
some one will shortly invent q pro-
cess for retaining this wasted ma
terial.

Teaching School Girls to Swim.

In the apparatus In use in Ger
many for teaching school girls how to
swim the pupil Is supported In such
position as to leave the legs and
arms free to perform the motions
Of a swimmer. The body is hung In
a wide belt. suspended from a. over
head rail. while the feet are attached
to q pair Of ropes running over pull
legs and adjustable to various re-
quirements.
The pupils thus suspended are then
taught how to perform the movements
Of the breast stroke until the action
becomes inmost instructive. There
is decided advantage In teaching
these movements in sue / way in
stead Of in the water, for the pupil
ia not distracted by the fear of a
ducking 1t is not at all easy to learn
the swimming movements even out

curing this knowledge until 1t be-

PLYMOUTH ROCKS ARE BEST
<s General Utility Birds They Are
unexcelled for Size and Flesh
{ They Are Quick Growers.

The best general utility birds, at
tanning when mature large size and
carrying flesh of medium quality, are
the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and
'Orpingtons. They are, however, too
coarse in flesh and bone for the best
markets and are also lacking in
breast development, this latter de-
feet being particularly noticeable in
the young birds. They are. therefore,
not In demand for the high-class
broiler trade, nor for roasting chick
ems, says the Farming World. Wher-
ever there is market for this class
of poultry II would seem advisable to
supply II and this can be done without
IN any way impairing the winterlay-
ing qualities of a flock of hens by jul
diciously mating them with a male of
q breed possessing the requisite
breast development and fineness of
flesh and bone. Good table crosses
can be made in so many ways that it
Is hard TO say which is absolutely the
best. Some, however, are rather more
suitable than others for certain pur-
poses. When, for instance, early
spring chickens will bring a good
price, one of the English gamecocks
with Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte
hens, makes a good cross. The birds
produced will be quick growers, car
rying good breast and the flesh well
favored. For obtaining large fowls
of the best form and quality a cross
OF Dorking or Indian game male with
either of the utility breeds mentioned
gives excellent results, producing a
large proportion of firstgrade table
fowls, such as will realize the highest
prices and give satisfaction to the
consumer, The raising and fattening
OF chickens and ducks for the hotels,
restaurants and large boarding houses
is a profitable industry. This bust
ness. properly managed. is more profit
ableathan general farming and is not
so slavish as dairying.
