Concerning German Silver

twill you please tell me what is Ger man silver? My chum and l disagree with regard to it. I contend that it takes the name from having been imported from Germany at first, and that it is really silver, but of inferior quality He says it is little better than nickel, being base mixture of metals. Which of us is right, and how did it get the name?
 TT J. K"
 I do-not know how 1t got the name of German silver. Perhaps readers may tell us. It is mixture of nickel, copper and zinc, with no silver in the alloy. It is harder than silver, and, if kept clean, resembles it's appearance, but with grayer tinge. If skillfully wrought, it is not a bad imitation of silver. As a do- nestle utensil, it has the disadvantage of corroding and discoloring readily when dipped into acids. For table use it is highly objectionable on this account Which brings to my mind a wise saying of my sensible mother anent the imita- tion: "The true gentlewoman never fears to be kind and polite to interiors of what ever rank. It is quite safe to stir pickles with a sterling silver spoon. But keep German silver out of yinegar!' Readers may guess the application of the figure.

SensifiYa

The average person has little concep- tion of the accuracy with which 1t is necessary to work on some classes of machinery. Ball-bearing parts, for in- stance, are produced in large quantities, yet in some cases the limit of error is placed at one-tenth of one thousandth of an inch or about one-twentieth the thickness of a human hair. The human sense of touch is coarse in comparison
 multiplying indicator described in the Popular Science Monthly for July is very satisfactory device for meas using parts that must be accurately gagged without loss of time. The machine consists of a substantial base-plate with an accurately ground. hardened steel facing and an integral standard carrying a measuring appliance. The dial-indica- tor reads in thousandths of an inch, each graduation represents a one-thousandth inch movement of the indicator stem.
 The work to be measured is placed under the measuring point on the null tiplying lever As this is very near the fulcrum, a relatively slight motion will be changed to one of 10 times that mag nitude at the dial-indicator. If the work is to be one-thousandth of an inch larger or smaller than the standard, the pointer of the indicator will move over 10 graduations on the dial. An error of one-tenth of a thousandth will move the pointer one graduation.

British Plain Toffee

Tn reply to a request for homemade candies I venture to contribute one from my store of trustworthy formulas, called British plain toffee: One pound of loaf sugar, one pinch of cream of tartar, one gill of water, flavoring to taste. Place the sugar and water in a pan and stir oc- casionally until melted. When it begins to boil put the lid on the pan and let it boil thus for three minutes. Then boil up until a little tried in cold water breaks off crisp and sharp. Pour the toffee while still warm upon well buv- tered tins, Mark with knife and break up while cold. H. B. F."

The time is right here for another
busy farming season. Work has been

the rapid growing season will not set

that season sets in there is hardly a
spot on earth where as rapid growth
of field crops is crowded into the same
space of time Tell the crude old East
ern farmer that we have to harvest
three cuttings of our alfalfa fields:
that we grow as high as IS bushels of
wheat to the acre. better than 100
bushels of oats. Two to 400 sacks OF
potatoes. an equal number of sacks of
onions. from 10 to 40 tons of sugar

ands of carloads. honey. melons and
