STORE MANURE FOR GARDENS
Fertilizer Should Be Kept In Large
Box With Lid Screened That Files
Cannot Possibly Enter.

A common practice is to manure
the garden every year late in the fall
or before planting in the spring, no
further attention being given. This
practice, however, is not the best.
The manure for the garden should
be kept In a large box with lid or
so screened that flies cannot enter It.
Manure heaps are the natural breed
ing places of these pests, and If they
are allowed to remain near the house
uncovered will prove q great nuis-
ance.
A good plan is to use very close
wire screen nailed to frame with
hinges for the top. The manure
should be spaded often on the top so
that the water from the clouds or
the sprinkling pot may penetrate to
every part Of it.
Il kept in box spout should be
placed in one corner at the bottom,
SO that the water may drain into
sunken barrel.
This Will supply liquid manure,
which can be used at all seasons when
vegetables and flowers are growing.

USES FOR THE scLER0scoPE
the Hardness and Elasticity Of
Various Surfaces.

The scleroscope has been described
as kind of mechanical finger, intend
ed to discriminate, by delicacy Of
touch, between various substances sub
mitted to 1t. The ready detection Of
the degree Of hardness and elasticity
of various surfaces Is its special func-
ton. It consists essentially of little
weight, like the hammer of a pile
driver, which is allowed to fall inside
tube placed upright on the surface
to be tested. The bottom Of the ham
mer, which weighs only few grams,
is finished with blunted diamond, in
tended to give it the requisite hard
ness. After fall it rebounds, and
carefully graduated scale on the tube,
indicating the height of the rebound,
shows the degree of hardness of the
surface experimental with On
piece of ordinary steel the hammer re-
bounds nine-tenths Of the height Of it's
