Granite as Fertilizer.

Farmers everywhere, but especially
In New England, know that granite
powders are not good in titled land.
Yet, according to conclusions that
have been drawn by government ex-
perts from certain experiments, pow
dered granite may prove valuable
fertilizer. Granite contains potash,
and IL so good for land that America
imports potash salts from Germany
at about 800 ton The imported
salts contain only twice as much pot
ashNper ton as certain GRANTEES which.
it is thought, may be ground at a cost
of SO a ton Harperis weekly.

Uses Of Corn.

Experts of the Agricultural Depart
ment have figured it out that more
than thirty products are made from
corn, exclusive Of whisky. Among
them are six kinds of glucose used In
table syrup manufacture: four kinds
of crystal glucose used in candy ma
king; corn oil, used in making fibre
paint and rubber substitutes; granu-
lated gum, alcohol, fusel oil, corn
meal. From the stalk are taken cellu-
lose. for packing holes in battleships
pierced by bullets; varnich, paper
nulp and live stock foods. And the
humble cob has its many uses. When
ground into corncob meal It aids di-
pestion Of cattle; is used by the farm
ers for corks and by everybody for
mines. It has high fuel value. Three
tons OF cobs produce as much heat as
one ton of hard coal. COD ashes fed
"a hogs keeps them healthy, and being
rich in potash cob ashes makes val
liable fertilizer.

The utensils should be of such
material and construction that they
are easily cleaned and kept so. The
interior should be smooth, with no
cracks or crevices for dirt and milk
remnants to find lodgment and be
removed only with difficulty. The sur
face should be heavily timed and the
seems filed with solder. Tinware
should be kept bright and perfect.
AS soon as any rust spots make their
appearance an entrance is given into
the soft iron for germs and small
particles of decaying matter, which
are in consequence removed with
much more difficulty. The process of
cleaning vessels which have contain
ed milk should be:
1. To rinse them thoroughly in luke.
warm water.
2. Wash thoroughly with the aid
of some good soap or cleansing pow
der in water as hot as the hand will
bear.
3. Thoroughly rinse in hot water.
4. Expose to live steam from one
to two minutes or to boiling hot wat
er for Ave minutes in case steam is
not available.
5. Exposure. If possible, in bright
sunlight from two to three hours.
In this way tinware can be kept
clean and bright and free from bac-
terra Having thoroughly cleaned the
vessels the prevention of access of
dirt to the milk in process of milking
Is important.

CHAPTER IL
In Which Scotland Yard Sits
Up and Takes Notice

Sir Bryan tombstone, director Of
criminal investigation. leaned back in
his chair and stared at the ceiling with
3 frown. His hands were thrust deep
into his trousers pockets; his long
legs were stretched out to their full
extert under the big roll-top desk in
front OF him He was puzzled, and
the report lying on the desk in front
of him was the reason.
For perhaps ten minutes he re-
manned motionless, then he leaned for

The door closed behind the girl, and
after moment or two the man rose
from his desk and began to pace up
and down the room with long even
strides. Every now and then he would
atop and stare at some print on the
wall, but II was the blank stare OF
man whose mind is engrossed in other
matters.
