NEW LAMP FOR MINERS.
It I* Pro% lil e«l with n t«ilw llflei'tlnn
AtlHcli nii'iit, I'lHCfd .liiftt Above
the Flame.
One of the most practical inventions
of the last century was the miner's
lamp, with its sheet of gauze sur
rounding the flame, enabling the miner
to work in coal mines where gas was
liable to be found without danger of
causing an explosion with bis light.
One objection to such a lamp is that
the gas might increase in volume in
the chamber so gradually that the min
er would not be a*—" -* its presence,
continuing to work with the assurance
that there was no danger of an explo
sion and not delecting anything wrong
in the atmosphere. As an improve
ment over the lamp a Pennsylvania in
ventor has suspended above the flame
a series of wires, which become heated
and grow red in proportion to the!''
distance from the blaze, and also in
ratio to the quantity of gas mixed
with the atmosphere. The operation
of the device is apparent. The sensi
tive wires are adjusted on the harp to

positions determined by experiment, in
which they represent percentages of
gas present by becoming reddened with
the heat of the flame. The user of
the lamp will, of course, be informed
of the danger limit, and when the
strands are heated to an unusual or
dangerous height will abstain from
working in such gaseous quarters. It
is stated that this gas detector may
be easily attached to the lamps now in
use. and it should prove a very prac
tical arrangement for the men who are
compelled to labor in the mines.—

WITH tfcs aid of (he accompanying chart, a little observation of th®
northern heavens will enable star gazers without glasses to detect tha
tenuous body of Borelli's comet, glitterin ; in the vicinity of the con
stfilation Cygnus. This new visitor of the solar system will be found, ac
cording to the Lick Observatory astronomers, about six degrees southwest
of the bright star Alpha Cygni—the brightest and most northern member of
this constellation of a star of the first magnitude.
The constellation, popularly known as The Swan, lies not far to the east
of Vega, also a first magnitude star, and about twice as far almost directly
south of the familiar and conspicuous Pole star. The new comet was visible
with the naked eye when the observations reported were made at the Lick
Observatory a few weeks ago.
As it is speeding on its parabolic path with enormous velocity toward the
sun, under whose fierce radiation of heat its two prominent tails are very
rapidly swelling in size, the celestial wanderer ought to be easily recognized,
and it may very soon become, as Prof. Campbell expects, "the brightest, comet
of the past ten years."
The two prominent tails, alread observable in the comet, will no doubt
grow s possibly into startling proportions, before the comet reaches a
perihelion, which it will do in August, but when it leaves tha solar system

DERRICK FOR CLEANING WELL
A one and one-fourth inch hole is bored
at the top, about 14 inches from the
end Another hole, the same size, is
hot it the bottom, about one and
one-h feet from the end.
The cut shows the derrick set up for
use. The legs are 11 feet long, four
inches thick, and of good, solid tim
ber. A one and one-fourth inch hole
is bored through the top for the bolt
togo through. The inside part of the
leg where the hole is bored should be
made like a wedge, so as to fit closely
against the scantlings. The pulleys are
12 inches in diameter, and are made
of wood. The rope should be put over
the top pulley, and under the bottom
pulley. The legs should be sunk in
the ground, so they will not slide and
let the derrick fall. A good strong
hook should be securely fastened on
the rope. A steady horse can operate
this all right, once it is understood.—

THE OLD-TIME DAIRY.
' Much Fun \\ ai Coked nt Ft. Hut I(»
Ouner I Mini 11 >- Ae«|iilre<i a
lla nk Aecuont.
Only under certain conditions, tae
dairy means wealth to ue farmer, and
fertility to his farm. if these condi
tions be not secured, and maintained,
dairying will exhaust the farm and im
poverish the farmer more speedily and
more hopelessly than almost any oth
er form of farming. When the milk
is sold off the farm, it carries with it
the fertility of the soil, and generally
the net price of the milk is too low to
pay lop making it and to replace the
i fertility removed with it. This hard
fact underlies all the complaints of
cftiiry farmers about the profitlessness
of dairy farming.
Old-time dairy farming sent from
the farm only the butter, and the old
time farmers made money and were
the most independent men on arth.
Whn farmers once more take up home
churning, dairy farming will once
more become steadily and satisfac
torily profitable, and dairy farms will
once more increase, instead of de
crease, in fertility. The most forlorn
thing in the farming region is the
large dairy farm, once fertile and op
erated profitably by its owner, who
made butter, now worn-out and starv
ing and working to death the tenant
who occupies and operates it. It pro
duces only fractional crops of grass,
corn, rye, wheat and other crops, and
the milk it makes is poor in quality,
small in quantity, and high in cost.
It goes away in ca#is while the churn
rots in the she 4 or garret. It nets the
tenant 75 cents for each dollar he puts
into it. He can't pay his rent. The
owner says he is no good. The tenant
says the farm is no good—and both
are right. The churn, substituted for
the can, would change such farms de
cidedly and profitably for both owner
and tenant. When will farmers open
their eyes to the business folly im
plied in the senseless work that is mis
called "dairy farming?" Butter is the
basis of farm wealth and fertility, but
farmers in these days seem to think
that butter-making is hard work in
comparison with milk shipping. On
this fundamental error they have built
and are maintaining the losing ship-
business, throwing away the soil
! of their farms along with their own
strength, health, work, comfort and
lives.—Midland Farmer.
Snnllnry Cow Stable* Nee«le«l.
It seems to be a difficult thing in dairy
ntanagement to secure cleanly condi
! tions in a cow stable. About 99 out of
| 100 are far from sweet and clean; the
( offensive odors contaminate the breath,
! blood and tissue of the animal; and con
sequently a first-class article of milk
cannot be produced. The barns should
be dusted often and whitewashed at
least once a year; not only to give them
a good appearance anfr make the stable
lighter, but to purify them and kill any
! germs of disease that may have collect
ed on walls or ceilings.—Midland
Farmer.
Kpfiiine ItoyM IIU tlie Knrm.
A prominent breeder of Short-horns
| claims to have found a way to keep the
boys on the farm. As each boy reaches
a certain age he gives him a few good
pedigreed females, bargaining that he
! is to have all the males while the boy
! receives all the females. The father
claims that it pays him well, while the
son soon finds himself with a small j
herd of improved animals on his haudf j
j and has no desire to leave the farm.
SPRAYING OF PLANTS.
Circniitfttii nee** lln\e Marie Coploaa
l«e of I uneot lelde* iiml Funicl
vltlvn lin ye rativf.
In an address on spraying. Prof. F,
M. Webster said: The canker worm,
the tent caterpillar, leafrollers and
other native leaf-eating insects, find
instead of an occasional wild cherry
tree, wild crabapple tree or wild plum
tree, whole acres of improved varieties
of these, acres upon acres of rasp-'
i berry, blackberry, strawberry and
grape. Grass feeding insects find
hundreds and thousands of acres of
grassy plants more tender and juicy
than the natural grasses. Is it any
wonder that native insects, before
confined to a less number of less
fruitfi»* trees, with an occasional year
tha* permitted almost no fruit at all
to grow, thus almost exterminating
them, should, under such favorable
conditions as are offered by our pres
ent system of fruit, vegetable and
grain culture, thrive and increase in
numbers far beyond what they would
under less artificial and less favor
able surroundings? We first create an
environment, unnatural and vastly
more favorable than the original for
the development of insect enemies of
our crops, and bring about the very
conditions that these insects are in
tended to prevent, and then wonder
why it is that they do what is the most
natural thing In the world for them —
feed and breed in the midst of plenty.
It has always seemed to me that the
fruit grower who planted out his or
chards, vineyards and berry fields,
and gave them no protection from
their natural enemies, was doing
what a commanding general would do
if he were to send a division of his
army into the enemy's country and
not support it with other troops. It is
as plain as can possibly be that the
fruit grower must use artificial meas
ures to fight the enemies of his crops,
if he expects to succeed. The present
conditions are now what they are,
and we cannot now change them.
This being true, it is manifestly the
proper course to pursue, in seeking
by artificial means to counteract, so
far as possible, the adverse effect of
these present conditions. Thus, the
spraying of plants with insecticides
and fungicides becomes imperative.—

Cellar for Them.
Roots are one of the common fe Jing
crops of Canada and the northern s.ates.
They are a crop it pays to winter prop
erly. My root cellar is 24x30 feet and
ten feet high, having stone sides. The
roof is first covered with three-inch
cedar plank, then with a covering of
sawdust six inches thick, and a shingled
roof with space between to keep out the
frost. There is an alleyway at entrance
of cellar six feet long. Doors close tight
SUBSTANTIAL HOOT CELLAR,
to both cellar and alley. There are three
windows, one at each side and one at
end. These are well banked in winter.
Roots are aired from doorway dur
ing severe weather. There is also a
loose stone wall, built four feet high
around the cellar about four feet from
wall of cellar. The space between is
filled with clay six feet high. There is
no danger of roots freezing even in cold- 1
est winters.
In such a cellar th«y winter perfect
ly. 1 winter over 1,5(50 bushels Swedes;
2.000 bushels could be putin, but if too
many are together they are liable to heat
and spoil. I keep turnips until there
is green feed ready to cut in the fields
for my show sheep and lambs. The cel
lnr shown was built about 35 years ago.
Material was cheaper then, but such a
cellar would cost here now from S2OO to
$250. Mine are well built and will last
many winters yet.—Henry Arkell, in

Cream Curl*.
To make the curls the pointed tin
tubes sometimes called lady lock sticks
are used. Roll puff paste or good
chopped paste thin and cut in strips
not over two inches wide. Wind from
the small end of the tube and havs
each layer overlay the preceding one
a very little. Set. the tubes across a !
baking pan and set the pan in the
oven. When the curls are baked a
deep yellow, take from the oven and
push I life paste from the tube. When
cooled a little it will come off readily
and without breaking. Whip some
cream, sweeten and flavor it, and fill j
the curls. —Detroit Free Press.

Probably the best and cheapest way to ,
combat worms on catobages is simply tc j
sprinkle salt on the infested heads.
From the moment, the salt is applied :
the worms cease to feed, and in an hour !
or two they drop from the heads to the
