The Milk In the cocoanut.

South Africa natives along the Or ange river have a way of producing milk" which, primitive as it is, vies in ingenuity with the method of those who believe fn the synthetic produc- ton of what the journalist. hardup for synonym, has been known to call "the hcteal fluid" After cutting the top from cocoanut, the native places the nut over hot ashes, so that the warmth may cause the fat and but ter" contained in the husk to be ab- sorbed by the milk. This changes the milk's quality and gives it a palatable taste. In order to deal with several nuts at time the natives construct rough holders from old iron hoops The ashes are placed under the grat- ing and the nuts set in It. Obviously there must be no actual fire beneath the nuts or they would be burned away and the milk be lost.-Argonaut.

To Tin sheet Copper.

To tin sheet copper on one side. says the Engineer, metal is taken of the cor rect gauge or within one number of that size and then cleansed with the usual pickles and by securing with sand or swarf and sand. The sheets are then coated with a killed spirit Aux. They are next placed upon n holder laid at an angle of forty-ive de- grees to the timing pot, so that the excess of tin will return by gravity. The molten tin is poured over the cop per sheet and any excess wiped off with mops made of plumbers tow. The oxide formed on the reverse side of the sheet from the heat of the mol ten tin is removed by dilute sulphuric acid pickles. The sheets are washed and dried and then if necessary rolled again to gauge and polished. For cleansing timed articles there is noths ing better than whiting mixed with a little kerosene oil, the surface being polished afterward with little of the dry whiting or Vienna lime.

Corrected In Rime.

Thackeray was much pestered by the autograph hunter, says Hodder in his "Recollections." He disliked above all things to write in an autograph album and often refused those who asked him to do so, sometimes rather brusquely. On one occasion the owner of an al- bum, young lady, was fortunate. Thackeray took her book to his room in order to look it over. Written on page he found these lines:
 Mount Blanc is the monarch of noun
 tains
 They crowned him long ago.
 But who they got to put 1t on
 Nobody seems to know.

The life of dry batteries. which are to be used in wet or damp places, may be considerably heightened by being treated in the following manner:
 The batteries are placed in glass jars little wider and higher than them. selves. A layer of dry snwdust Is placed in the bottom for the battery to rest on. and the sides are packed with sawdust to within half an inch of the top. Waterproof wires are con- nected to the binding posts and melted parafiin poured over the battery to the top of the jar. The carbon and zinc terminals should be marked to avoid trouble when Nconnecting several cells together. Batteries treated in this manner are waterproof and can be submerged in water If necessary.

DIVING sunDoE IN OPERATION.

protecting him against the swift cur rents that are formed when the ve- hicle Is being drawn rapidly through the water. The diving car can be steered upward and downward as we'll as in curves by mems of a steering mechanism operated by compressed air supplied from steel tanks attached to each side of the vehicle.
 The diver while operating the vehi- cle wears regular diving suit. the special feature of which Is a tank or cartridge that for a period of three hours supplies the diver with fresh air. The submarine sledge is capable of being operated at depth of about 130 feet when the sun Is shining and uses searchlight fed from the sur face boat when artificial light is re. Quired. It weighs 500 pounds fully equipped.
 The most striking possible appIica- ton Of the sledge is In the work Of recovering sunken wrecks or human bodies. the exact location of which can only be determined by thorough search of large area of river or sea bottom. By towing the diver back and forth over the bottom the search can be carried on with accuracy and in only small part of the time that orii- narily would be required.
 The sledge has already been used successfully at an average depth of seventy feet In the inspection of n long intake pipe running out into salt water Popular Mechanics.

 'I must inform the honorable mem ber," said the speaker, that an ex- pression of that kind Is unwarrantable and must be withdrawn"
 Mir. Parnell apologized for having used the expression. "I will say" he added, "that the statement was more worthy of the ingenuity of petty ses- sions attorney than of lawyer of the ability of the honorable and learned gentleman" ..

SiIagc for Dairy
Cattle.

Silage enables the dairyman to
have the best of succulent food
for the winter months, as one
acre of good corn silage is equal
in its feeding value to from four
to six acres of grass. He not on
ly has a cheaper feed than June
pasture, but he has a higher
price for milk and butter fat, al
SO having more time to do the
work and he will get more
even and larger flow of milk
with silage and mixed hay in the
winter months than he can get
in the summer months, because
of the flies, heat and the short
grass.
1t also does away with the
feeding of so much hay, grain
and expensive mill food, enab-
ling him to reduce the cost OF
production of milk and butter
from twenty-five to thirty-fve
per cent, and under some condi-
tions fifty per cent.
This is not the only advantage
the dairyman has in the use of
silos- simply reducing the cost
of producing from twenty-five to
fifty per cent, thereby increasing
his profits the same-but his
cows, when finishing their period
of lactation, are in flesh, fit to be
marketed.

Burden on Autos.

A new burden will be imposed
upon automobile and motorcycle
owners in Kansas when the new
automobile registration law be-
comes effective on July /, but
those who are fortunate enough
to own a vehicle of either kind
will derive some satisfaction from
the knowledge that what they
pay out in the way of tax will
come back to them in the form
of better roads.
1t is estimated that as a result
of the new law the sum of $193,-
600 will be paid in to the treas
urers of the counties and state
annually by motorcycle and auto
mobile owners and practically all
of this money is to be expended
in improving the county roads of
the state.
The law does not contemplate
that the money is to be used in
building more roads but plainly
specifies that it is to be used in
paying for having the present
roads dragged and repaired. The
law also plainly specifies that no
part of the money is to be used
in lettering roads within the
limits of an incorporated city in
the state. The amount of tax to
be paid will be SIS annually on
automobiles and 81 per year on
motorcycles. The money will be
paid in to the county treasurer
the same as other taxes and the
county treasurer will pay to the
state treasurer IS cents for every
automobile license and so cents
for every motorcycle license.
The tax rolls for last year
show $4,000 automobiles were
listed, but Investigations made
by Charles Sessions, secretary of
state, indicate that under the
new law approximately $4,000
automobiles and 1000 motor
cycles will be listed and licensed
the first year after the new law
becomes effective. Mr.. Sessions
calculates that no less than $685.
600 will be available each year
for road improvement work in
the state, exclusive of the amount
which goes in as a state tax, and
that within a few years Kansas
will have nothing but first class
highways.

Don't Waste
the Manure.

You can do it easily in two or
three ways. You can do it by
letting it lie in the barnyard. If
you let the manure which you
could haul out now as well as
not lie in the barnyard till fall,
we will guarantee that You will
lose from 80 to so per cent of its
value. Failing to haul out the
manure is a sin of omission with
which many farmers are justly
charged.
You can waste manure, If you
follow the old-fashioned way Of
putting it in piles, to be scattered
at your convenience. You will
waste labor as we'll. You waste
the manure by allowing fermen.
tation to go on in the pile dur.
ing warm weather, and the am
monia to escape. You can waste
it by allowing the seepage from
the piles during rains to make
spots in your soil which are over
rich, to the neglect of the rest.
You can waste it by putting
on too much, says Wallaces'
Farmer.
You say: Is it impossible to
make land too rich? Not easily
nor usual; but you will in the
end make your land richer BY
putting on from six to ten tons
of manure to the acre, and re-
peating it from time to time.
than by putting on twenty-five
all at once.
In this lies the great value OF
the manure spreader. 1t not on
" saves time, but does a far
more even job of spreading than
could possibly be done by hand,
1t only saves waste, as compared
with the old.fashioped plan, but
it enables you to give to the land
just what it can make use OF at
the present time, and thus very
largely increase the value, which
is another way of saving waste.
This is particularly true when
the manure is applied to grass
lands, where the manure ought
to 90. 1t takes some time after
the manure is applied for it to
become plant food. 1t has to be
worked over by two or three diff
ferent varieties OF microbes or
germs in turn. Applied to grass
land, the soluble parts are at
once taken up by the soil, stimu-
lating the growth of the plants,
while there is time for the rest
of it to be worked over before
you plow it up and put in corn.
The value of manure, like the
value of skim-milk, depends on
the prices of live stock and grain.
It is usually estimated at about
a dollar or a dollar and 4 quarter
a ton; but at present prices it is
worth at least twice that. Then
why waste it?
