Itarnaeles on Metal Ships.
In tbe old days of wooden ships tbe
boring insects which live iu wood
were their chief foes. Teakwood ac
quired its reputation as a shipbuilding
material because of its supposed im
munity from these vermin.
Steel ships suffer from barnacles,
which foul their bottoms much more
rapidly than they do wooden ones.
These strange marine growths are
sometimes as big as one's list and ad
here to the metal plates with tremen
dous force, and besides impeding '.he
ship themselves they catch seagrass
and other rubbish and drag it through
the water.
When a dry dock is not available
metal ships have to have their bottoms
cleaned by divers. When the battle
ship Massachusetts was recently
cleaned barnacles and grass covered
her hull to such an extent that she
could not have made more than ten tnd
one-half knots nn hour. Chicago

Drying Cat rotator.
It is very important that potato
sets rut for seed should be thoroughly
dried on their surface beforo planting.
If put in the ground while moist they
will quickly rot. It is quite common
to sprinkle gypsum or land plaster on
the cut surface, under the idea that
the plaster being dry will absorb the
pieces of the potato as they exude. In
stead of this, the gypsum only pauses
the cut sin face to blacken and be
rather more likelv to decay thuu be
fore. Fine powdered lime is much
better for this purpose. It absorbs
water until it takes in all it ran hold.
Iu early plnutiug lime is especially
useful, for it helps to dry the moist
soil; and thus prevents the potatoes
from rotting iu the hill.
Intensive Farming In Kansas.
Iu the introductory to the report of
the Kansas State Board of Agriculture
Secretary Coburn says: "Kansas
farmers are learning year by year that
their busiuess, if profitable, must be
so conducted that it is not the mere
playing of a game of chauco with the
weather or with a single crop; that a
somewhat diversified, aud yet not too
scattering agriculture and a studying
of aud adaptation to climatic condi
tions, the demands aud the markets
are essential (not more, perhaps, but
as much) iu Kansas as elsewhere.
Those who most fully recognize these
conditions and most intelligently re
spond to their inexorable requirements
are realizing a fair or large prosper
ity. Others who persistently defy or
deny them are ready to declare that
farming is no longer a source of
profit, that farmers are slaves of, those
in other pursuits, aud that the times
are politically, financially and morally
out of joint. Although uo vocation is
all pleasure or all profit, tho men who
conduct the business of farming with
the same energy and skill as the suc
cesful merchant or professional man
will reap the same and, as a rule, a
greater and more certuiu measure of
reward; the time has pos ed, however,
if it ever existed, wfieu fortunes were
made by unsullied owners of farms,
large or small, anywhere. Convincing
proof of either proposition can be
found in almost auy one ot the 105
counties in Kansas. Muscle, to win,
must be lubricated with brains."
Hearing Calves.
On tho subject of calves Professor
Haeckcr says: "We rear about thirty
calves each winter on separator skim
milk, and find no difficulty iu growiug
them fine and thrifty. The calf is al
lowed to suck once; it is then re
moved and one feeding period al
lowed to pass without feeding it auy
milk; this is done so the calf will
drink without the finger. Tbe first
week itrcceives a light ration of whole
milk fresh from the cow; the second
week it gets half whole milk and half
skim milk; the third week aud uutil
it is weaned it receives skim milk, a
spoonful of ground flax and hay. We
feed no grain to calves intondod for
the dairy, other than the ground flax
meal. By flax meal we do not mean
oil meal or oil cake, but the ground
flax, containing all the oil there is in
the flax seed. We used to feed ground
oats or ground barley to calves, but
found that many of them acquired tho
habit of laying on flesh, which is a
permanent injury to a dairy calf. The
quantity of ground flax used daily
varies frc m a teaspoonf ul to a table
spoonful iu each mess of milk, ac
cording to the size of the digesting
capacity of 'the calves. The flax meul
is scalded as is usually done with flax
seed, but the meal, if dry, is stirred
'into the milk just before feeding.
When the calf is young great care
should be taken to always feed the
same quantity, aud at a temperature
of at least niuety degrees Fahreuheit.
After the calf is a few weeks old the
skim milk and flax meal may be grad
ually increased. Scours are generally
caused by overfeeding, or by milk fed
when cool. From four to six pints of
milk is a fair ration for a calf the first
week; feed twice a day and keep it
comfortable an J ch-au, and feed 'rjiu
a clean tin pail."--Stockman aud

HORSES KILLED FOR HOC FEED.
Effects of Droughts In California S'i.OOO,
OOO Worth or Live Stork Imperilled.
The growers of live stock in Cen
tral aud Southern California aro iu a
panio. Hay has gone up to $'10 per
ton, aud the continued drought aud the
frequent hot northers have ruiued the
prospects for feed in the future. Cat
tle and sheep men aro hustling their
stock out of the country as fast as the
railroads cuu carry it. They have
tried to get permission from the Gov
ernment to pasture it this summer on
the Government reservations, but
could only get permission to drive it
ooross them. They have applied to
Nevada for help, and Nevada has re
plied that she has no more thau she
needs for her owu stock, but has flu
ally decided that stock may be shipped
across the State.
The cattle quarantine agaiust the
southern part of the State has been
sufficiently modified to permit the re
moval of stock from the drought
stricken sections, and tho overland
roads have consented to make half
rates for stock sent East for pastur
age. The authorities of Utah, Ne
braska and Wyoming have agreed to
allow shipments into their territory of
stock that has boeu properly inspected.
Tho value of tho imperiled stock is
in the neighborhood of $2,000,000,
Muuy buyers from Utah, New Mexiso,
Nevada, Texas and Northern Califor
nia are visiting the drought-stricken
districts aud picking up bargains,
Ono herd of 5000 head of cattle, re
quiring fifteen trains of eighteen
cars each has already been shippod
East, and the railroad authorities
made arrangements to send out at
once sixty trains of eightoeu cars,
each of whish will carry about 20,000
head of cattlo to points east of Nevada.
In all not less thau 100,000 head will
be seut out of the State.
One big shipment of 18,500 sheep
is on its way East in fivo trains of
thirty-seven cars each. Another
shipment of 15,000 sheep has beeu
sold iu Chicago and is on its way
there. Nearly 100,000 sheep will
probably be sent East during the next
month. Cattle and sheep cars are be
ing collected and hurried here from
all parts of the West. One firm,
which controls large tracts of pasture
land, is shipping 22,000 head of sheep
to New Mexico and is sending droves
of cattle to Northern California and to
Texas. A member of this firm said:
"We shall not leave a hoof on our
rauch. Everything, cattle, sheep and
horses, has got to go. There is uo
feed for the stock."
Those having large bands of horses
will suffer heavily, as the animals are
not sufficiently valuable to warrant
much effort in saving them. A good
mauy raisers of hogs are buying up all
the horses they can get at from $1 to
82-50 per head for hog feed. The
horse is token to the field, killed, its
hide stripped oil", and. its carcass left
to the hogs, which soon leave nothing
but a pile of bones. One hog dealer
iu Santa Barbara County has bought
250 head of horses which he will use
solely for hog feed. Several firms
are buying up horses for the manu
facture of fertilizers. A few who
own blooded stock are sending it out
of the country for pasturage.
The Canalman.
A canalman, unless there happens
to be a member of his family who can
help him, hires a man called "the
hand." The men who run the boats
come from various positions iu life to
bocome canalmcn. Some have been
farmers, who own funns along or near
the canal, and not a few have been
born aud lived all their lives on a
canal boat. Perhaps one of the most
unusual cases is that of a well-educnt-ed
man who was formerly a Methodist
minister, but is now, and has been for
several years, living with his family
on one of these bouts and driving
mules for a living.
The majority, however, are rough
and iguoraut, and the proverbial
swearing is to be heard in its most re
pulsive forms. One notices frequent
ly a lame or crippled man in charge of
a boat, since this is one of the few
positions in which a inaimod person is
able to earn a livelihood. A canal
man's family, if he has one, lives with
him ou the boat during the open sea
son, and the rest of the year aome live
on little plots of grouud, often too
small to bo called farms, or perhaps
they may live in one of the larger
towns nearby. Godey's Magazine.

Drluk and Family Life.
Viewed from whatever standpoint, the
value ot total abstinence cannot but bo
apparent to all unbiased minds. But there
are some phases ot the situation more
striking than othors.
Here, for instance, ts the father of a fam
ily. Is It not to his advantage, as also to
tbe advantage ot those who look up to
liltn as their natural protector, to live a
life free from all taint of drink and Its de
grading associations? Dv restraining the
appetite for Intoxicants, and so avoiding
their evtl influence, is he not enaoieu to
give his children a better cbauoe In life
than thev could possibly obtain were be
to spend his substance la the saloons?
A borne wherein peaee prevails under
the blessed rule ot sobriety Is one ot the
greatest advantages a child ran possess.
"There Is no place like home" If that

It It ts a place wherein ts concentrated the
affections of all tbe members of the fam

evening to refresh themselves with love
and kludnoss after the toils of the day.
but If, instead, tbe father of the household
ts a victim of the drluk evil, or it to
make tbe picture darker though perhaps
Jot much less common tbe mother iu
ulgee In drink to excess, he or she, so far
as their children, their natural depend

day Is a disgrace to humanity might In all
probability have been an ornament to so
ciety were It not for the Intemperance
which destroyed bis home life, and wreaked
the happiness of bis youtb.
A home to a child should be the embodi

Inspiring. Other things being equal, tin

Alcohol Ahead.
A thtck-set, ugly-looking feltow wa
seated on a bench In the public park and
seomed to be reading some writing on
sheet of paper which he held In his hand.
"You seem to be much Interested la youi
writing," I said.
"Yea; I've been figuring my account wltb
old alcohol, to see how we stand."
"And be oomes out ahead, I supposo?"
"Every time, and ho has Hod like sixty."
"How did you come to have dealings with
him In the first place?"
"That's what I've boen writing. You
see, be promised to make me a beast.
Then be said be would brace me up, but he
made me go staggortng around, and then
be threw me Into the dltoh. He said I
must drink to bo sociable. Thon he made
me quarrel with my best friends and be
the laughing stock of my enemies. He
gave me a black eye and a broken nose.
Then I drank for the good of my health.
He ruined the llttlo I had, and loft me sick

"Ot course."
"Ho said he would warm me up, and I
was soon nearly froron to death. Ho said
be would steady my nerves, but Instead ho

"To bo sure."
"He promised me courage."
"Then what followed?"
"Then he made me a coward, for I beat

A Temperance Lesson.
Whether alooliollo liquor Is neenssary oi
evonusotul to the soldier In the Held Is a
question which authorities will continue to
differ.
Thero Is, howovcr, no question that In o
campaign In a tropical country like Cuba
liquor of any kind Is more dangerous than
useful. Iu addition to this, the Houdno
campaign now going nn furnishes direct Il
lustration of the positive assertion that It
Is not necessary.
Tho English papors aro calling attention
to the fact that the victory at Atbara war
won on tea and coffee. An Invoice of Ger
man whiskey whloh bad been sent to the
expedition was poured out on tbe sand, and
oven the beer was sent back. Tho result
was that after a long night march and a
fierce battle under the blazing sun the men
were fine and fit.
It Is the common Impression that Tommy
Atkins Is more of a drinker than his Ameri
can cousin. If Tommy Atkins can do with
out his whisky and be all the better for It,
his example might be safely followed bv

Temperance and Athletics.
The Duke of Connaugbt recently spoke
of the improved sobriety In tbe British
army since he Joined It. It Is no doubt
very remarkable, and soma of the credit
must be given to the Army Temperance As
sociation. But somotbtng Is also due to
the Improvement In the social habits of the
officers, from whom themen naturally take
example; something, moreover, to the In
troduction of short service, as It was mainly
old soldiers who wero tbe best customers
of tbe canteen. And there Is something,
further, in the proof which sereral of Lord
Wolseley's campaigns and tho recent fight
ing of Oatacre's Brigade have given, that
abstinence from stimulants does no harm
In the field, and therefore cannot hurt men
In camps and quarters. But the main Im
provement Is undoubtedly due to the In
creased attention given to gymnastic work
and to athletic sports. Men who go la for
these cannot attain excellence if they drink
to excess. And that has wrought a silent
revolution which ts none the less effective
because it Is n,ot talked about. All these
things together have conspired to make
the soldier the self-respecting man bo Is
to-day. London Chronicle.

It Is estimated that In consequence of
Intoxication the sum lost to the working
population of France In 1897 was 1,340,000,

Shakespeare speaks of the "thousand
natural shocks that flesh Is heir to," and
some people Imagine that li'iuor is a cure
for each and every one of them.
Help yourself and others by taking and
keeping tbe total abstinence pledge.
It often bappons that tbe man who Is
averse to offering even ton cents once a
week at cbureh has no objection to spend
ing much more than that sum each day

There Is a continual warfare going on be
tween the good and tbe bad in man's na

weakens the defenses which religion and
morality erect against the assaults of evil.

The Possibilities of Electricity.
Ever since the electrio light and

iu the economic affairs of the indus

of transmitting the power of water
falls to more or less distaut points

alize its vast possibilities, aud who
believe that the ingenuity of 'man is
equal to the tusk of overcoming any
dilllcultics that may be encountered
iu attempts to find a successfnl solu
tion of the problem. For more thau
twenty years those who may be called
electrical enthusiasts havo prophesied
that the day would come when the
power of Niagara would be delivered
at the door of the consumer iu the
city of New York, and capitalists have
not beeu lacking who would have pro
vided the means for carrying out an
undertaking of this kiud if they had
been given the proper assurance by
electrical engineers of prominence
that the results sought for could be
attained. Such assurance, however,
could not be giveu; for, although it is
known that there ia no difficulty in tho
way of accomplishing such result
theoretically, the practical develop
ment of the art has uot reached a stage
that would render the realization of
such au undertaking possible. Ap

Among people where the practice of economy is a
necessity, the buying of soap is an Important yearly Item.
The grocer who has an eye to larger profits, may not
suggest Ivory Soap. He will recommend nothing else
if he is conscientious. Ivory Soap is a pure soap, all
through. That makes it the most economical and best.

First Suction Dredging,
Probably the first successful at
tempt at suction dredging was on the
construction of the Amsterdam canal
iu 1867, where a contrifttgal pump was
fitted to an old bucket dredge. A ver
tical shaft, driving a "spinner" three
feet six inches iu diameter was fitted
near the bottom of an upright cylin
der twelve feet high, so arranged that
the contents of the buckets falling
through it were met by the ascending
column of water from the centrifugal
pump. This liquefied tho silt, and it
was forced to the shore through wood
en pipes placed on buoys or floats.
These pipos wore oonuected by leather
joiuts or sleeves. This machine
could deposit at a point 1200 feet dis
taut 2000 tons of solid ' matter to a
height of eight foot above water sur
face in twelve hours. Three years
later doublo machines of this kind
wero used ou canal work at Cron
stadt, Russia. Attached to the ver
tical shaft of this machine, however,
were water jets under high pressure,
which were directed into the cylinder.
By this means stiff clay could bo suf
ficiently broken up to be moved
ashore. This kind of machine was
afterward employed on tho Danube.
