A firm at Syracuse, n. Y, are
now manufacturing a novel -four
barrel. The barrels are composed
of straw-paper pulp, which is run
into a mold made i'm the shape Of
one-half of a barrel cut vertically.
The pulp is subjected to powerful
hydraulic pressure, and when re-
duced to the required thickness
the ends of the halves are cut
off at the ends. The pieces are then
placed in a steam drier, and the
sides are trimmed evenly and the
thoroughly dry. 1t comes
from the drier for making up into
barrels. There are three heavy
wooden hoops and two hoops fasten-
ed together and into grooves cut
in the slaves and paper halves,
which have an average thickness Of
of an inch, are
slid. The ends of the barrels are
made of paper of similar thick
ness, construed upon the same prin-
ciples as the sides and protected by
heavy wooden ones. The adVan-
tage of these barrels over wooden
ones are lightness, durability, and
the prevention of flour sitting out
while in transit. They are con-
structed entirely by machinery, and
the halves are cut so true that
any pieces of the same size will
readily fit together. They will not
cost more than one-third the price
of wooden barrels, are lighter, and
flt so nicely in the groves that there
is no chance for flour to sift through,
which loss is quite a heavy percent
age in the use of other kinds.

that he will hug you around the neck and
take you down. The safest and best
thing to do is to get behind him, and, un-
less you are left handed, put your left
hand under his right arm-pit. The lift
you give him will be enoug h in ordinary
water. He can be coaxed to help him
self, and if he is reasonable being you
can bring him to shore. If he is insane
with fright, recollect that you are to be
both prudent and heroic. Get away from
him, clutch his ankle with one hand and
tow him ashore. If the bank is near, he
is not likely to drown on the way. If he
does, it is not your fault. But a brave
swimmer is master of his element.


l once saw two young fellows rescue a
drowning comrade in way that was re-
markable for its neatness. The poor fel-
low was in mid-stream, cramped and ex-
hausted, and barely able to keep afloat.
Which was first was never decided, but in
the critical moment each was behind him,
each with hand under an arm-pit; he
was almost dead-weight on their hands,
and they swan him ashore, more dead
than alive. It was struggle, but they
were masters of the situation.

A farmer in Ohio has recently made an
experiment which suggests an idea. He
had procured an ear of very fine yellow
corn, and wishing to procure seed from
it, planted it in good soil, having first as
certained that there were about 500 grains
on the cob. The corn produced from
these 500 kernels measured nine bushels,
or about 900 ears from one. The seed so
obtained was as good as the specimens
planted. If farmers in this state would
strive to obtain improved scotland I'M
proved seed does not necessarily mean
new varicties.-tlley would make money
by the operation. The truth is that lit
tie or no attention is paid to saving seed.
When wheat is to be sown the farmer
goes to the store and buys his seed wheat,
not knowing where it comes from, ig
norant, perhaps that one sack Of good
wheat may be mixed with two sacks of
bad, and ignorant or careless of where it
comes from.


BY such carelessncss the field is often
seeded with thistles or weeds, which re-
quire years to eradicate. We have case
in mind of little wheat-growing valley
which ten years ago was innocent of weeds
or thistles. But since that time one of
the farmers bought his seed wheat with
out taking proper precautions in regard
to where it was raised, and the following
season he found his field with very little
wheat and great many California this
ties. The next year the wind had scat
tered the seeds broadcast over the valley,
and to-day it is almost useless to sow
grain of any kind in that valley, for the
thistles choke it out completely.


It would be an excellent idea to 60
through the wheat fields in the fall and
pick out few choice heads, we'll filled
out, and thrcsh them out by rubbing in
the hand. Put the seed in water and
skim off the floating grains which are not
we'll filled out. Save the balance care
fully and in the spring SOW or plant in
some good mellow ground, and not so
thick but that the soil around each stalk
can be stirred with the hoe, and where it
can be watered if necessary. A quart of
seed planted in this way would produce
a large amount of grain superior to a


large majority Of the seed wheat in the
country. In this way the crop can be


renewed, and not onl y higher priced


grain, but more Of it, will be the result.

When you have occasion to make a
quotation of Scripture, the best and
surest thing to do is to verify it by
reference to the Bible. A failure to
do this has led to some bad laundering
at times. Quite recently a venerable
minister had occasion to address a
Sunday school not quite thirty miles
from New York. The chapel was
adorned with notices. The speakers
eye caught one which read: ''They
that seek Me early shall firsd Me-"
Pointing to it he said: "This is bad,
for it is MT correct" You will find
the passage in the seventeenth verse
of the eighth chapter of Proverbs, and
it reads: ''those that seek Me early
shall find Me" Then glancing up
again he read: "On earth peace, good
will to men," "Wrong again." said
the speaker; turn to Luke ii. IA and
read: son earth peace, good will to-
ward men," But the most ludicrous
blunder that has come to our knowl-
edge occurred "way off in jersey"
the facts being as follows: 1t seems
the building committee of church re-
Gently finished wanted stone tablet
over the door, with the name of the
church and Scriptural motto. Itoc-
rurred to them that nothing could be
neater than ''My house shall be called
the house of prayer" So one of the
committeeman, who was in a great
hurry, told the stone-cutter to chisel
on the slab the thirteenth verse Of the
twenty-tirst chapter of Matthew. He
thought the verse ended with the words
he wanted to use. The stone-cutter
took the whole verse from the Bible,
and faithfully copied it to the end.
Imagine the horror of the committee
men when the stone was delivered 1t
read; "My house shall be called the
house Of prayer; but ye have made it
a den of thieves" The stone-cutter
insisted that he had obeyed orders.
But the committeeman insisted that
the motto he had inscribed was not
what they wanted, and that it would
be of no particular use to them. That
slab is now in the stone-cutter's yard,
and anybody who wants it for tomb
stone can probably buy it cheap.
