DEEP SEA EXrLOHATHLNS. SUB MARINE PIVEKS AND THEIH APPLIANCES. Ianffpr I'licnnnifri-d nt Grcnt , Upplln A Tost of Cool no ami j Kmlnrnnon A Hirer's Ontflf. i Joseph 8mith Is one of tlie oldest and most experienced practical divers on the Atlantic coast, ami is at ureeont work ing foreman in the only manufactory of diving apparatus in this part of the country. What ho docs not know about matters pertaining to diving very few men know. What is tho reason that man cannot accomplish the feat of sub-marine ex ploration i The answer to this question, piven by Sir. Smith and other old divers, is. that man doesn't want to attempt it. Down to a certain depth the matter is compara tively easy. Almost any practical diver will po down to a distance of eighty or 1U0 feet and work there as coolly as on the surface. But at a greater depth than that there is something so weird and trantre, bo uncanny, nuirmentcd bv tho eternal stillness and the knowledge that if an accident should happen to tho slender lifo lino or string of hose that supplies air to the diver, he could never hope to rise again to tho sur faco, that few men have the nerve to undertake tho decent. There have been descents and work performed on the bottom of the sea at a dopth of l l'i feet some unauthenticated stories name l"il) feet but no diver can remain at that depth more than half an hour nt a time. Hesideo the sensation, which is calculated to unnerve even a bravo men, there are physical obstacles against rcmainingany longer. The chief of these is the di.ti culty of forcing air through the hoso down to that depth. A steam pump has to be employed, and even then the air will only come in gasps and sobs and unci uuiiuut puns, i uu immense press sure of the water squcces tho hoso to gether f-o that it can hardly bo forced through. The pressure of water is so great about the diver's body that it re quires a strong man to stand it. while tho heat and perspiration induced inside tho closed armor is something fearful. A good many divers who have ventured to great depths and remained dowu too long for their strength, havo come up paralyzed. Have there been any improvements in diving armor of late years? None worth speaking of. The suit is practi cally tho same now as when first used, a generation ago. It consists of a helmet, a diving dress, a set of belt weights, n pair of diving shoes, with lead or iron coles, rubber mittens and other articles to correspond. The helmet is made of copper and bell metal, in order to be as light as possible, with glass five-sixteenths of an inch thick for the three windows, which are guarded by wires across the outside. The dress is made of two plies of can vas with one ply of rub'jer between. The air hose is made of rubber lined with canvas. This apparatus is now the same all the world over. AY ho first in vented it has been forgotten, if it whs ever known. There are no patents upon it, but it would hardly pay for many Brms to cngago in its manufacture, be cause the demand is so small. Tho sale of half a dozen suits and outfits a year is counted a pretty 'fair business, besides repairing. Tho cost of an outfit varies from $400 to $1000. The co t of an air pump varies from $1 0 to $500. This outfit is the same that has been manufactured hero since 185!", and which about that time supplanted tho diving bell. There are a few diving bells ttill in existence, but they are never used because they are so unhandy. A person cannot move outside of them, but they have been used at a depth of 150 feet. Along the coast from Maine to Florida there are probably not more than two hundred practical divers, men competent to take a job of work under water and perform it f atisfactorily. There are probably two or three times that number who have worn diver's armor and worked in shoal water. A good many armors are now employed lor going through sewers and performing such work, the armor being more a urotection ncainst gas and foul air than from water. The standard Oil Company employ some men to look after and repair its pipes which cross the bottom of rivers, and in which there are frequently breaks and leaks. But these men are not termed divers by the profession. The most famous piece of diving work done on this coast, perhaps, was at the wreck of tho steamship Oregon, outsido of Pandy Hook, about four yean ago. Men worked there in 133 feet of water. Although the wreck lay in clear sea water, they found considerable dilhculty owing to lack of lights. The appearance of objects was as though seen in a room at night lighted only by the stars shining through the windows, and most of the work had to be dono by feeling. Elec tric lights were tried with some success, but it was too much trouble to carry them about nud keep them in good posi tion for working by. At this depth the diver had to take half hour shif's. At a depth of eighty feet, tho ordinary diver will work all day and usk onlv to come up to his meals. Xea York Com mercial AJcerlUer. The Lost-Car Tracer. "Were it not for the constant vigi. lance of the great .railroad companies io keeping watch of their freight car thi loss of roUing stock and damage result ing from delays and mistakes would prove a source of serious financial loss to all concerned," said a prominent railroad ' ? official to Mew York Teleyr.im re- porter "Mearly all the great roads employ a corps of what are known as 'lost-cai searchers or tracers. Every freight car is numbered and u:ed for a certain pur pose, and whether it be a 'gondola' oi flat open car, or a box tar, it can be traced from oue end of the country to the other. The 'searchers' will follow a clew to San Francisco if necessary, and see that tho car is returned to its proper station. The 'car searcher' has been a most a tive agent of the railroads for maDy years paat, but, as in every other business, improve! methods are con stantly introduced. ' At last our great trunk line road has dispensed with the car searcher in f.ivor of a large force of responsible clerks, with telegraph and telephone as auxilia ries, ho sjstemati ally is their work done that, if the conductor of a freight train were to uiakethe elightc.-.t error in the cumbers of the cars iu his tram or a description of them, it would le detected and the conductor culled up to rectify it. If a car is reported missing in any - tart of the country one of these clerk by referring to hii books can te l at what poiut the particular car should be ut tiie time and when it should be returned.

In answer to a question, remarks tho Frairit Firmer, we can simply roiterato what wo havo stated many times hereto fore. A hen that becomes addicted to eating eggs cannot easily bo broken. If she is not killed as soon nssho is found rating eggs, sho will soon teach others to do the same. The taste is neouired generally by finding broken eggs in tho iiesr, orciscwiiere. men tlio fowl begins to break tho shells to get nt the meat. Thin-shelled eggs are easily broken. Tho remedy for thin-shelled eggs is to keep tho fowls supplied with plenty of iimu in some lorm. i.rounil oyster-shells aro excellent for this. Tlie Question of Sheep Washing. English authorities are divided as to (he advantages of sheepVvashing. Most of the wool received thore from France, La I'lata and i-oiith Australia conies un washed, ami packed in its natural grease. Iu the hitter countries the wool is of more importance than the meat, and it may be reasonably assumed that crow- ers know and follow the be-t plan of ueaung with tlio llccces. Where sheep are kept on grass lands there is no press ing necessity for washing, but whero they are fed on tillage lands, say tho English farmers, it is almost absolutely essential to remove the soil and dirt. The wnsiung of sheep always arries away from the skin of the animal a natural oily Mnp called siiint, which is very soluble in water, with the result that tho wool becomes harsh and dry and re duced in value for tunny manufacturing purposes. I 'n washed woof tlimil.l l.a double advantngo to the grower, ns it aught to fetch a larger price, and tho rose oi washing would bo saved. In rases where sheep must bo washed, it is advisable to perform tho operation in a pond or tub, rather than in a running1 stream, as the suint does not flow awav, but is taken up or at least a portion of it- by the tlceeo of tho animal as it emerges from the water. American Cut- Horse Staples. To have healthy and hearty horses due care must be taken toprovido them with suitable stables. These should bo warm, dry and well ventilated. If the roof is of straw let it be thatched so that it does not leak. No farmer can afford jo have water leaking down upon his horses. Havo first a roof that does not leak, next see that the sides of the stable are iree rrom cracks, so that there will bo no drafts upon the horses. Havo the ventilators so that thev aro under your control. After you havo a good roof and tight sides, properly ventilated nnd lighted, it is proper to consider the floor rf the stable. You can irrt nn better nn than earth. This will keep the feet of the horses in good condition, and needs Dnly to be kept level by filling in the holes mndo by lhc stamping of the feet of the horses. If you havo an earth floor be sure and keep it free from a ridge over which the horse must hang whcn'it lies Sown. The next best four is one made of short blocks of wood, such as are used in paving city streets. If tho stable is not on the ground level, of course a floor will needs be made of plank. Of what ever the stable door is made have a drain. This will facilitate keeping the horses :lean nnd tho stable clean and healthy. Have the stalls wide enough to allow the horses to lie down comfortably. It is well enough to have tho partitions high enough to prevent the horses reaching each other. Bo sure to have no projec tions in tho stab es, upon which tho horses can hurt themselves in lying down, turning around, or raising their heads. This will necessitate having tho ceiling high enough to clear their heads when jerked up suddenly. Have the feed boxes, and racks just high enough to allow tho head to be in a natural position while eating. Have both theso so arranged that there will be no waste of grain or hay. To save time in fee ling have grain bin and hay handy to stable. When the stable is made comfortable, convenient and healthy, see that the surroundings are made the same. Don't have a greal pile of manure just in front of tho door. Have a small drain to carry tho water from the stable, so that it mav bo nn. proached handily, and bo nt tho same time more healthful, because freo from stagnant water. Xowis the best time of the year to put your stable in good shape. Farm, Field ani Stockman. riant Moro lire, llye is a crop that can bo made to render more service to the farmer nnd dairyman than any other, yet it is more frequently overlooked and discarded than it should be. It is a plant that not only endures the cold of winter and tho heat of summer, but it will grow on tho richest soil or the poorest sandy laud. In some sections it is really the clover of sandy soils, for without its aid and the advantages of green manuring would be unavailable, and as it can be made to im part more to the soil than it takes from it there is no risk in gron iug it under any conditions. Even the seed is cheap, whilo the cultivation necessary is very little as compared with other crops. As a proliiable grain crop it is behind oats, wheat, barley and com, but the straw is more valuable than that of any other crop, for which it is sometimes grown alone. Leaving out the value as a trrain cron entirely it still ranks high in more ways than one. Hie fact that it can be sold iu the fall and made to produce a late supply of green food after other grasses cease growing should prompt farmers lleVote 14 sP:lC0 10 O'o every season, but its usefulness extends further. The ?e vere coldof the hardestwiuters will not in jure it, nnd early in tho spring, long before, grass begins to grow, rye appears in its green condition to afford a supply of suc culent herbage to tho stock at a time when it is most needed. It allows the stock the privilege of eating off tho early growth, and when thegiasap. ears, and the grass is no longer re quired, it will grow cut again and make a crop of grain. It can theu, in early spriug, if preferred by the farmer, be ploughed under instead of being allowed to seed, and it will provide an excellent manure for the corn crop. In one respect rye is a cheap crop because it requires no land for its growth, to a certain extent. That is, if the seed is sown in the fall on land intended fot corn in the spring, aud the rye turned iu before planting coru. the re simply holds the land that would otherwise be unoccupied during the winter. It U also excellent on laud intended for potatoes-, and as it a.siats in keeping down weeds it taves much labor in that re spect. As rye can be pa tured at nearly all stages ct growth aud can Le turned un der us a green manurial agent at any time, the farmer who fails to tow it will deprive himself aud his stock of a mo;lj valuable plant, aud as it can be seeded down at any time at this season tho land for that purpo.-e should be prepared with out delay. Of -course it tbiivc best on r.ch land, but even the poorest toi' shuu'.d bo sowe4 to rye rather than t leave it unoccupied. I,rcu York ilcrali Winter Dairying. Tho chief advanlages of winter over summer dairying, says a writer in tho Country (jintltnum, tonsist in having the greater part r.f tho season's make of butter to sell when tho prico is highest; in having less troublo to make and mar ket a good article iu rool weather: in making tho milking season considerably longer, and tho quantity for the season considerably greater; and in being able 1o raise belter calves, because they will be so much older and larger than spring calves to cat gtass in the summer, and endure tho rigors of the ensuing winter. Tho disadvantage is in having to feed moro meal nnd bran to make good win ter butter nnd to keep up a full flow of milk till grass comes, when tho meal can bo taken awsy without tho yield falling otT, though if it be continued tho How will increase. Feeding liberally with meal and bran makes winler butter cost moro than grass butter, but the higher prices of the winter market more limn pay tho additional expenso for feed. Swlne-nrpptllng for RIt.c. The fancies of men do so vary that it is not po sible at any given period to say in v hat shape or in what condition a given commodity may be most salable. The time wns when cream checso would not sell to consumers, if under one year old or approaching that age. Now, rich cream, fresh from the handsof the maker is esteemed a luxury. It is not long since the center of the berry was thought best for producing suporior Hour. Mow, that which is obtained from closo proximity to the hull, or bran, is counted best of nil. It is within the memory of many that the large breed of swiue, notably the l oiaun (. uinas anil (.Hester Whiles, got their "gmd-oft" to quite a degree through possessing largo si.u. The snmo was true of tho beef breeds of cattle, notably short horns. We remember well when it was counted a serious dofect in a short horn beast not to bo largo extra large symmetry n;t being considered of first importance, ns now. As to swine, the ancients bicd for size, nnd history tells us mat great wciglits anil extraordinary m. cMiess ui meat were Drcu. lor and at tained. t rior to the great depreciation that oc curred to livo-stock-growing aud general agriculture during the middlo ages- say up to mo sixteenth century great weights were attained to. Yarro tells of a cut of swine meat that was sent by a peasant to Yolumnius, a Senator, that measured a ''foot nnd threo liugcrs in thickness." Another Koman historian mentions a Lusitaniau hog, whose meat, when cut up, measured one foot nnd three inches in thickness. YVe havo accounts of great weights, approaching the period when tho im provements in farm stock took nlaco. A specimen of the old Berkshire breed is stated to havo attained tho weight of l-.'sit) pounds. In 1T74 a hog was killed, haviag a reported weight of 1100 pounds, with a length of close to ten feet, and a height of lour feet and five inches. Tho writer, when a boy, was in Cincinnati, Ohio, at the t'uno of the exhibition of a spotted hog, brought to tho city from Huller County, Ohio, whoso weight was said to be 1:12-3 pounds. A small flat boat was built, on which this hog was floated down the river to New irleans, being exhibited on the way. This was about lsy.i. This hog was doubtless of tho Poland-China sort. tsize, other things being equal, wns, not many years since, to quite a degree the thing that governed the price in our leading markets. But it is different now nt any rate, it is to quito a degree. Yet, should tho exactions of the market change, calling again for very largo hogs, swiue are so readily molded, and breed 00 rapidly, that the caprices of tho markcis can be met to nn extent not at tains! le by any other class of live stock. A3 is well known to breeders, there are, in pretty much every litter, pigs that nre shaped for a greater growth than others iu the same litter, and nothing is more certain thau that by selecting these, breeding of like kiud, not akin, upon them, largo size would bo promptly secured. 1'iaiiie Parmer.

Swedish turnips, parsnips and carrots nre an excellent lor lattening hogs. If tho hog pasture gets short this month, roots and pumpkins can be used to supplement it. Duiks may be profitably raised on farms where there are no streams or pondf of water for taem. Do not use coal oil or grease of any kind on a sitting hen; it will prevent the eggs from hatching. The evening milk has been proven bj recent l.ngl.sh dairy tests to contain more solids thau the morning milk. The net food may be taken at about two-thirds the value of thd ration. The balance is tho value of the manuro. The dairyman has a good chance to do some independent thinking on politi cal matters this fall. When ho has thought suiiiciently let him vote intelli gently. A poor cow in tho dairy is like a dull tool in a carpenter's eyes. It requires the expenditure of u large percentage of energy to obtain a small percentage of nsult. One of the corner stones of success in sheep raising is to draft out heavily but judiciously ut least once each year; there is no time at which a sheep can be so uccurateiy sized up as wheu sheared. Do not stint your horses in the use of salt, especially in the spring time. A horse ought to have a pound a week of it, if he wauts it. Throw it in the end ,of his box; then he can help himself as he wishes. Young colts are as fond of pettiug as .kittens are, and a littlo fondling every day will do them good. By being han idled hiudly often, they soon become igentle and docile, and are much more easily handled when they become horses.

Which is the correct form: "Stan and stripes" or "stripes and stars?" Logically, "stripes and stars" is the correct form; the act of Congress ol April si, i mi is py wntcli our present flar is authorized, dec'ares that "the Hug o) the L'n ted States bo thirteen horizon t a' stripes, alternate red and white, that tho Union be twenty stars, white on a blue field; and that, on the admission ol 8 new State into the I'nion, ono star bt added to tho union of tho flag." From this it is evident thnt the stripes are the more important, and that therefore thei should precede. But custom has ordained that tho stars shall precede the stripes and as neither name is ollicinl for t lie flag it doesn't muke a bit of difference.
