I'.ofrssjr J. W. S inborn, of the Mis
souri State Agricultural college, has
issued a bulletin giving the results ol
experiments made by him, in which he
shows that as ploughing is usually done
there is a great loss of power, resulting
in ekh?r inf-ri ir work or overtaxing
the te:im, from the improper adjust
ment of ploughs with refereuca todepth
and width nf cut, improper adjustment
of harness, the use of coulter of any
form, and the non use of wheel or truck"
under th t-ud of the beam O regulate
the depth of furrow. The testa of
draught were all made with the dyna
mom ter previously tested for Us cor
rectness and its Indications carefully
noted so that the results airlved at can
be accepted as correct.
Moat farm harnesses hive an ex'en
slon of the hip straps with a loop at the
ecd through which ths traces to
ho'd the latter in placa when the team
is unhitched. This loop is on about a
direct lirie of the tiitco when tha Lorst-s
are hilchej to a farm wagfn. But
whn t ken from the wagon and hitci::d
to tha p'ough the doubletrees are bo
much lower than wheu on tt.e waon as
to causa an angle iu the tiace from
where It passes through the supporting
loop to the wh.illjtri. Such condi
tions ha found caused a serious increase
of the draught. The least draught is
found nhera the tra extends in a di
rect line from its attachment at the
barue to the centre of draught in the
plough when adjusted to its best depth
for working.
The uje of a eoulterof any kind a'sa
added to the draught, while the use of a
wheel under the end of the team cow
fallen into disuse lessened materially
tht? drau!j?'.t. Thus, as a result of stv
eral te3ts, wiih and without truck or
wheel, t!;. r.'How'rg av-rnits wera
reached : Awr.ige draught i'"r square
inch of furrow turned wi.h wheel on
4.KT pounds; withiut wheel, o 50
pounds ; per cenr. of draught saved by
use of whetl 11. 1. In the test of coul
ters, the old and the new style kuife and
rolling coulters were used with follow
ing resulcs : Average draught with
coulter on pr square inch of furrow
turned, T.77 pounds ; with coulter off.
4.9'. pound. Loss by use of coulter in
per cent. 15 C or about the same as the
gain by the use of the wheel.

France's Muling Mi ere.
Just lately, ou the coast of Brittany,
one of those geological discoveries has
been made which suggest to the mind
periods of time making the longest hu
man life appear but a span, and exhib
iting processes quite dwaifiog the am
bitious human achievements. This is
the disclosure, by the displacement of a
mass o sand, during the last high
tides, of a forest that must have been
buried for soma twenty centuries at
least. The situation is just oppoiite
Stint M!o. at the foot of the cliffs of
Saint Eoogat and Saint Lunaire. The
forest is supposed to have onue extend
ed from Saint Malo to beyond Mount
Saint Michel. This discovery is con
sidered of great scientific interest, as it
affords a remarzable illustration or the
gradual sinking of the French shore.
The progress of this sinking during the
last 2,000 years is clearly shown in an
old map found at the Abby of the
Mount Saint Michel. "Vitbiu no more
than seven centuries back as many as
seven parishes are said to have disap
peared by the subsidence of this region.
And in the Bay of Djuranenez there ia
known to have existed in the fifth cen
tury quite a flourishing town called Is,
the scene of the famous tragical legend.
Even now. at low water may be spen
the old walls of Is. which are called by
the inhabitants Mogber Greghi (wall of
the Giejks). The people of the coun
try pretend that they can sometimes
hear the old church be.Ua of the sub
merged city ringing with the motion of
the current.
French geologists stimate that the
gradual sinking of the soil of Brittany.
Normandy, Artois, Belgium and Hol
land Is not leas than seven teet a cen
tury. At this rate it Is calculated that
iu about ten centuries all the Channel
ports wiil be destroyed, and Paris it
self will have become a maritime city.
In another ten centuries it is predicted
that the French capital' itself will have
becorna entirely eubmerged, excepting,
perhaps, that th- tops or the rantbeon,
of the Arc de Triompbe and other such
monuments mty be discernable at low
wa'.erbyihe people who will Ihen be
iiviug.
.Make Lime Hater at Home.
There is no need whatever of running
to the druggist and buying lime water
every time it is needed. And, by the
way, it Is very useful to have iu the
bouse in case of sour stomact, etc. A
teaspoonfulof it with half a pint of milk
will often mike the mi!k quite dieesti-
ble, when without the lime water, it
mibt sour and produce colic, or dis
tress in the stomach. To make lime
water, get a lump of good unslaked
lime, the size of a hen's eg, or larger ;
put it in an old pitcher and pour on a
pint or bo of water. As soon as it is
slaked aad cool enough, stir it with a
spooa or stick and pour eff the princi
pal pirt of the milky fliid into a pint or
quart bottle, liAviug the dregs in the
pitcher to be thrown away. Cork the
bottle weil and let it stand quiet. In a
few hours the lime will settle to the
bottom, except what is dissolved in the
clear water abaya it, and this water wi'l
nearly alway3 be of uniform strength.
Whe-t us-ed down S3 that it cannot be
pjureJ off without stirring the bottom,
add more water, shake the bottle, coik
it well, and let it again settle for use.
Osca a year or S3, make up a new lot as
at first. Lima tha sizs of an egg will
be enough for a good many quarts of
lime water, which will practically cost
nothing. At the ordinary temperature
of GO degrees, a pint of clear lime water
contains only 9j grains of lime. (A
pouud Is 7000 grains). Lime wa'.er is a
little antacid, and a kttle. tonic also.
Time to riant Gardens.
Considerable loss comes from neg
lect of the prompt etart of garden crops.
The only plausible reason for delay is
the fear of fros'. But the injury nine
times out of ten :s greater from drought
of summer than from frost in spring.
Teas, roots, lettuce, etc, are so hardy
that they seldom suffer, even from a
pretty severe frost. Corn will bear a
slight frost, for if slightly nipped it will
continue to grow, and make as goo4
stalks generally as if left untouched by
frost.
In early planting, although the weath
er subsequently may not be favorable
for the plants rising so quickly above
ground as when the soil is warmer, the
sd ?Dds fortn roots, and these obtain
gieatcr size and strength to push the
stalks forward more rapidly when they
come up tbau from later planting.
B-uij8 are more tender, but I have occa
sionally s.'en them escape frosts which
at other times killed them the reason
of which I could not divine, for tbe cir
cumstances of tbe two cases were ap
parently precisely alike.
For garden crops, considerable ilsk
may be taken in early planting, for in
cte of loss by frost it is little labor to
replant, and things get so forward be
fore tbe summer's excessive heat or
drought comes on, that they scarcely
suffer to Dy great extent.
1'or field crops, which are so much
larger, it is better to wait planting suffi
ciently late to insure the crops from May
fros's. Where the soil is natural!y rich,
or i.' poor, well ferti ized, the crops push
up so vigorously as to make them less
susceptible to unfavorable weather of
i ny kind. This shows the necessity of
putting tbe ground in first-rate condition
b if or gplanting, acd adding any fertil
izer during the growth of the crops ne
cessary to ensure a paying crop. Ku:.

Bsfore the Christian era the name of
Patmos only occurs in a few passages of
ancient writers, and of its history, if it
had one, nothing Is known ; it was when
it became the place of banishment of
St John the Divine, and the scene of bis
apocalyptic Vision, tbat ic once for all
attracted the attention of mankind.
At tbe present day it is one of tbe least
accessible of tha Egean islands, for
owing to its remote position and thr
unproductiveness of its soil no steamers
ever touch there. Ling before we ar
rived, tbe monastry of Sr. John, which
is the most conspicuous building in tbe
island, bad been in sight, crowning tbe
sammit or a high bill, like a vast som
bre castle, with the white houses of the
town clustered round it ; behind this
rose the peak of Ilagios Elias, which
reaches the elevation of moie than 800
feet. Tbe srala, or village at the landing-place,
has a very peculiar aspect,
for each of tbe small two-storied bouses
of which it is composed resembles a
square, flat topped box, t a white as
whitewash can make it. This mode of
building prevails throughout this island,
and, as w? arterwards found, in those
that lie to the southward of it.
In shape Patmos may be roughly de
scribed as forming a crescent, the horns
of which face eastward ; but its outJiue
is broken np by innumerable promonto
ries enclosing landlocked creeks, so
that, when seen from above, it presents
somewhat tbe aspect of a strange poly
pup. Its length from north to south is
about eight miles, and its area is rug
ged and broken ; but the most marked
peculiarity is tbat it is almost divided
in two in the middle, for in this part,
within a distance of little more than
half a mile from one another, are two
isthmuses only a few hundred yards
wide, and rising bnt slightly above sea
level. On the southernmost of these
the bcalu is situated, while between the
twostaucsthe steep bill on which tbe
acropolis of the Hellenic city was built.
The narrow waist thus formed serves
for a boundary line to determine the do
main of the monastery, for while tbe
southern half of the island belongs to
the monks, tbe northern part is the pos
session of tbe civil commucity. At the
time of the foundation of toe convent
no women were allowed to pass this
limit, but within a short time tbe re
stricdon had to be abandoned. The
soil of which tbe island is composed is
everywhere volcanic and very barren,
and its coasts are flanked by red and
gray rocks, which ever and anon break
Into quaint pinnacle.. The absence of
running water is shown by the numer
ous wind mills, and there are only three
or four we.' Is in the wbole area ; tbe
want of these, however, is made up for
by cisterns, and tbe inhabitants are
never obliged to import water, as some
times happens in Santorio. Toe male
population are chiefly employed in the
sponge fishery, which is carried on in
many of tbe Sporades. The island is
most commonly known by its medieval
name of Patine, in like manner as
Astypa:je is still called Astropihea,
i nd Carpatbos Scarpanto.

A Desperate Mother Saves 11 er Child.
"Speaking of serious cases of diph
theria," 8ajs Dr. AVilli9,of Erooklyu, in
the Xew York Sun, 'I know of a sicg
u'ar CH8e tbat occurred in Sixth ave
nue, Xew York, only a short tioia aeo.
It was a child 4 vears of age. It was
so near death's door that the family
physician had Riven up all hopes of its
recovery. The poor mother was al
most distracted. She pleaded with the
doctor to save her child if possible, but
to no avail. His last call was about 9
o'clock In the evening. As he left the
bouoe, the mother taok up the child in
her arms and looked down its throat,
and saw tbat it could scarcely get its
breath. As the mother watch td its
sufferings sho becama desperate, and
thought to herself : "If I could only
pull that false membrane out of its
throat I believe my child would live."
"In a twinkle she put her fore-finger
down the child's throat and extricated
the false membrane that obstructed its i
breathing.
"When the physician called in the
morning he expected to see the corpse
ui tun vui;u. us inquirea or toe moth
er of the sudden chaoge for the better,
when she told him what she had done.
"Why, toy good woman," said he,
'you have saved the child's life at a
great risk. Let me see tbe false mem
brane." "When shown to him he caked leave
to take it. as he desired to make it the
subject of a lecture before tbe Medical
College in this city, and his request was
granted."
