Science Can Produce II Almost to the

Scientists have succeeded in getting
what is practically a perfect vacuum
have succeeded in taking all the air
out of a space except the one hundred
and fifty milIionth OF 1t. AS long Us
they had to deal with the old time so
called suction pump very low vacuums
were impossible on account of leakage.
The mercury pump was relied on to
give the better vacuums, but that took
a long time Indeed. Then the Gaede
pump and before that the Geryck
pump improved matters somewhat.
The device now used is as ingenious
as 1t is swift and reliable. Suppose
that we have sealed tube containing
air. II we place this in liquid hydro
gen the air In few minutes becomes
a solid In the bottom OF the tube. IT

To make the vacuum more complete,

The price paid per horse is about
5000. This, American dealers regard
as too little, but the buyers have strict

FISH OIL MIXTURE
A GOOD REPELLENT
May Be Applied to Animals By
Cheap Brush or Sprayed on
With Small Machine.
(By C. c, LIPP.)

Fish oil may usually be bought by
the barrel at about As cents per gallon
or in ten-gallon lots at 60 cents per
gallon. 1t is good repellent for flies
and similar insects and may be used
in the following mixtures:
1. Fish oil, 8 parts; kerosene, part.
2. Fish oil, 100 parts; oil of tar 81
parts; crude carbolic acid, part,
3. Fish oil, 11s pints; kerosene, III
pints; resin, " pounds; laundry soap,
2 cakes. Mix thoroughly and add
enough water to make three gallons,
4. Fish oil, linseed oil or kerosene
1 pint; coal tar dip, 1 pint; laundry
soap, one-fourth bar; hot water, Is
pints. Mix thoroughly SO as to form
an emulsion.
Any of these mixtures may be ap

sprayed on with small hand-sprayer
such as can be purchased for 40 or sc

impressionist painter, "is drawn eX-

it lacks background, Mr. Brushly. But
for that it would be a work of art.
Your foreground is charming, but just

fanciful?"

know what you mean, however. What

gest?"

to apply it as top dressing on the
clover seeding; for the reason that
the plants will take up the fertilizing
elements and hold them in the soil
until such time as they are needed
for the crops that follow in the rota-
tion, instead of allowing them to leach
and wash away from the land. This
will also improve the texture and wa
ter-holding capacity ofthe soil.
All of the grain raised should be
fed out to live stock on the farm and
the manure returned to the soil, for
clover alone will not keep the soil up
forever unless it is supplemented by
the use of other plant foods.
When we apply manure to the
clover we are getting the lever under
the very center of gravity of the farm.
If we lift the clover crop the whole
farm comes up with it and produces
larger and more profitable crops.

Where 1t Was Approprlate.

Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very
pleased with the result of the present
temperance move.
I'VE are all temperate now," said
his lordship recently.
"To get drunk is an unheard.of thing
among gentlemen. If a gentleman
ever gets drunk nowadays he has, you
may be sure, a remarkable excuse to
offer" To illustrate his point Lord
Kitchener told this story:
A major, after a fancy dress ball at
Simla, came home drunk and his
shocked wife said to him:
Aren't you ashamed to return from
the ball in that condition."
Don't blame me, my dear" said the
major; you must remember that the
character assumed was that of a
sponge"
