One of the neatest and most econo mical power plants iu the country is constructed on a plan furnished by a praotical farmer. There is a good fpriug on his premises, but it lays too low to be available for his dwelling ard farm buildings. The city water pipe passes his door aud this has been tapped to furnish water powor. A stream not larger thau an ordinary knitting needle turns a little motor that operates a small pump, the con tinual working of which fills a tank that furnishes water for the entire es tablishment. When a small amount if water is used aud the tauk fills to a certaiu line there is au antomatio shut-off that stops the water. Re newed use allows the valve to open, when the pump again begins working. One farmer has a most admirable ar rangement for water supply based on this principle. An enormous pipe of iron is placed upon end in a deep hole prepared to receive it. The bottom of this is Portland cemeut and through this floor pipes passout through which the water is furnished to the build ings. One length of this pipe iu en tirely below the ground and is walled up with stone and cemeut, while above the ground is another length of pipe similarly protected by a stone caseing. Small steps iu the wall give access to the top of the pipe, which is ilosely covered. These lengths of pipe are each twelve feet long and about six feet iu diameter, aud are placed on au elevatiou some distance above the farm buildings. The city water furnishes the power for pump ing, and the tauk is ample to supply uot only the necessary water for farm and domestic use, but also the power required iu the barns aud dairy, cut ting feed, working the churn aud the like. The cost of such an arrange ment is inconsiderable when its value as a saving iu labor is takeu into ac count. New York Ledger. Orchard Wisdom. If orchards are to be made profitable they must receive as good care as Other crops. Good drainage, natural or artifieal, is essential to success. Trees are im patient of wet feet. Good tillage increases the available food supply of the noil and also con serves its moisture. Tillage should be begun just as soon as the ground is dry enough in the spring, aud should be repeated as of ten as once in teu days throughout the growiug season, which extends from spring until July or August. Only cultivated crops should be al lowed in orchards early in the season. Grain and hny should uever be grown. Eveu home or cultivated crops may rob the trees of moisture aud fertility lire allowed to stand above the tree roots. Watch a sod orchard. It will begin to fail before you know it. Probably nine-tenths of the apple orchards are in sod, and many of them Ave meadows. Of course they are fail ing. The remedy for these apple failures is to cut down many of the orchards. For the remainder the treatment is cultivation, fertilizing, spraying the trinity of orthodox apple-growing. Potash is the chief fertilizer to be applied to fruit trees, particularly after they come into bearing. Potash may be had in wood ashes and muriate of potash. It is most commonly used in the latter form. An annual application of potash should be made upon bearing orchards, 500 pounds to the acre. The crops well adapted to this late sowing are few. Vetch is probably the best which has been tested. But everything points to crimson clover as the ideal orchard cover and green manure. Professor Railey, Cornell Experiment Station, iu Massachusetts Ploughmau. Classillcatlnii of 8i:is. 1. Sandy soil: such as has at least seventy-five per cent, of sand. The quantity of sand may be determined with considerable accuracy by very simple means. Dry and weigh a pound of soil, and put it iuto a vessel which will hold a gallon or two of water. Pour cleau water over it and stir it up thoroughly, then pour the water gradually off. The sand will sink on account of its weight. By re peating the washing with portions of clear water, until the water passes off clear, the sand aloue will be left and may be dried and weighed, and the quantity of saud in a pound of soil determined. A. ev. ' j !ja:u is it fcoll uL!ii con tains fifty to seventy-five per cent, of rand, which may be separated aud determined as above. 3. A clay loam has twenty-five to fifty per cent, of sand, and the re mainder chiefly clay. 4. A clay soil has less thau twenty five per cent, of sand, the remainder chiefly clay. The dark red clay soils have a large per cent, of oxide of iron. 5. Any soil containing ten per cent, of lime or more may be considered a limy or calcareous soil, whether the remainder be clay or sand, or both. To determine the amount of carbonate of lime in the soil, bent two ounces of well dried soil on a piece of sheet iron or on an iron ladle till the vegetable matter is burnt out. Then pour over it a pint of water and add a fluid ounce of muriatic acid. The acid will dis solve the lime, while it will dissolve very little else from the mass. Wash the earth with clear water several times, take the remainder, dry aud weii?h it, and the loss w,il be carbonate of lime. This is bnt n rude experi ment, but near enough for practical purposes. C. A pealy soil ih oue which con tains twenty per cent, of dark, de rayed vegetable matter. Such soils are common in low, swampy places. The quantity of peat may be deter mined by Lurning out the vegetable matter and ascertaining the loss of weight. Honda Farmer. Pasturing; rigs on Stubble Fields. When graiu is harvested some neces sarily escapes the reaper and is usually lost. While the amount may hardly be sufficient to make it profitable to fol low the reaper with a rake, the scat tered grain may be profitably utilized by turning pigs or other stock iuto the stubble fields, and as a matter of fact the custom of pasturiug stock ou such fields is quite common iu many re gions. Some interesting experiments have recently been mud 3 at the Montana Station to learu tho value of this as compared with other methods of feed ing. Forty-one pigs from six to niue mouths old were allowod the run of barter, wheat, aud pea stubble fields of 18, 10.44 and 10.73 acres respec tively. For some time before the test they had been pastured on alfalfa aud fed one pound of cracked barley per head daily. For teu weeks immediately preceding the test they mado a daily average gain of 0.42 pound per head. hue pastured on the stubble fields they were given no graiu in addition to what they could Hud exoept on stormy days. The grain thus fed amounted to 2 1.1 pounds in the five weeks of the test. During this time the pigs made a gain of 22.8 pounds per head, or 17.5 pounds, deducting the amount whioh it was calculated they gained from the grain fed during stormy weather. On the supposition that 4.5 pounds of grain are required to produce a pound of pork, the forty-one pigs gathered 3228.73 pounds of grain, which other wise would have been lost. The har vesting had beeu douo iu the usual UiMuSftr, and in the investigator's opinion the amount of peas and grain remaining in the field did not exceed that left iu the stubble fields on the average farm. The scattered grain cohM uot have been saved in any other way, aud represents a clear profit. The grain saved from the stubble fields by these pigs was uot all that could have been gathered if they had remaiued in the fields a longer time. Seven brood sows were afterwards pastured during the winter on the sta tion stubble fields, whioh included a twenty-four acre oat field in addition to those mentioned above. They were giveu uo food in addition to what they could gather except kitcheu slops and a small grain ration ou stormy days. The sows frequently rooted down through six inches of snow aud found sufficient grain to keep them iu good condition throughout tho entire winter. It is stated in a recent communica tion from the Montana Station that several brood sows have been pas tured duriug the past season ou Btub ble fields without receiving any grain in additiou, and that they are in fair condition. They had, in addition to the grain stubble fields, the range of clover, alfalfa aud timothy meadows, and the gleanings of fields where root crops had been raised. The manure from grain-fed stock, which was tipcad upon tho fields, also furnished some grain. Poultry Notes. Freedom from lice and plenty of range will make the growing chicks "hump" themselves these days. The Poultry Messenger advises putting away some second growth clover for feeding hens iu winter. The sooner yon are lid of all the old stock except those intended for next season's breeders, the better. Too much young stock is used for breeding purposes. The yonug chicks will be hardier and make larger fowls if from two-year-old stock. Some hens do not possess the egg laying habit and no system of feeding will make good layers of such hens. Be careful how the new grain is fed. It is liable to produce cases of what you will probably call cholera. Pure bred fowls, first, last, and all the time. The breed does not matter so much, provided you ure satisfied with it. Hens that are permitted to range all summer will not lay as many eggs as those iu reasonable confinement and properly fed. Give as much of a variety as possi ble. Young chicks soon tire of the best of feed if confined to it for any great length of time. That soft feed that stands over from morning till night is not just the thing for tho, next feed. It won't hurt the hogs, however. A Series of Coincidences. Superstitious people will regard the following as something more than a remarkable series of coincidences. Twelve mouths ago last April two sis ters niurried two brothers on the same day and at the same church. A cou ple of mouths since each sister gave birth to a female child on the same day. The childreu received the same names, aud were christened by the snme clorgymnu. Subsequently each child became unwell. The same doc tor attended both, but, despite his at tentions, both died and were buried the snme day aud by the same minis ter aud undertaker. The writer sol emnly assures us that he can vouch for the accuracy of the foregoing state ment. rail Mall Gazette.

Lady Henry Somerset's recently Issued report on the industrial farm colony at Dux hurst, Hecate, England, in connection with the llritlsh Women's Christian Tern nerauce Association, demonstrates that the two chief features adopted In the starting ot the colony tha village system and out door occupation, such as gaidening, fruit growing and farming have proved their value. "The village system gives the real sense of home which no conventional insti tution, however comfortably ordered, could ever convey; and the cottages are furnished with only the appliances of good, ordinary artisans' dwellings, clean, attractive anil dainty. They tench the tlrst lesson ot what a home should be; and the women who, through drink, have wrecked their own households, realize the comfort that clean liness and sobriety can give a very low motive, perhaps, for giving up drink and leading a virtuous lito, but a powerful one; for the very natures over which Intoxicants have tho most power are the ease-loving, often lovnble characters to whom comfort, when in their sauer momeuts, would ap peal most strongly. It is popularly supposed that, once a wom an takes to drink, she can never be re format; but the village at Ouxhurst re futes that slander completely, for out ot the slxty-ono patients who have passed through the homo forty-two completed their term ot one year, and out of that number only seven have failed. Thirty three are at tho present moment doing well, one has died, and another dlnppoared. The pretty little homes have awakened in many a laudable ambition to attain the same result ot comfort and cleanliness in their own dwellings when they return to them; and the outdoor employment has helped to strengthen the physical system, which was slowly being ruiuod by drink. Two new cottages are about to be erected, but even they will not accommodate all the applicants for admission." Saloons Versus Churches. Hev. C. H. Zimmerman, of Evanston, preached in tha Chicago First Methodist Episcopal Church on a recent Kunaay on the relation ot civil government to the kingdom of God. Among other thing he said: "The Scriptures teach that governments are ordained ot God to be instruments of righteousness for the advancement ot His kingdom among men. The fundamental and Indispensable element of the kingdom of God is righteousness. This righteous ness is as binding upon corporations and governments as it is upon Individuals. There is no groater reason why any In dividual should be righteous than there is why the government of Chicago, of the State ot Illinois and of the United States should be righteous. The cousequence ot corporate wrongdoing are most disastrous. Not to mention other evils, consider how great an obstruction the liquor traffic Is to the progress of the kingdom of God in Chi cago. There are in round numbers 6000 saloons and 600 churches In Chicago tea times ns many saloons as churches, with more than ten times the patronage. The saloons do business every day nnd night in tho week; the churches are open one day In the week. Iu these conditions It Is not surprising that the Increase in church membership is not keeping pace with growth of population. The saloon and Its associate evils do more to ruin the people materially and morally than the churoh can do to save them. We may pour out our money like water to evangelize our city, but for every recruit the church mnkes for heaven tha saloon makes ten for hell. The first and most imperative duty of all who desire the progress ot the klngkom it to unite for righteous govern ment In city, state and nation." An Example of True Courage. The following story of Christian courage Is told in The Christian: When, as a brigadier-general, Clinton D. Flsk was in command ot the military dis trict of St. Louis, it became his duty, on one occasion, oflcially to receive and welcome !o that city an eminent major-general, somlng to take command of the military department. General Fisk, accompanied by an aid-de-camp, met his commander on the east side ot the river there was no bridge then nnd escorted him with his nid-do-camp across the river by ferry and to the hotel in which he had engaged a suite of rooms for him. As soon ns they were within the parlor at once assuming the place ot host and ready to trout the other officers as his guests the major-general ordered a ser vant to bring four whisky punches. "Only three, it you please, general, ex cuse me," promptly nnd courteously spake General Fisk. "You'll not refuse to drink with me, will you?" said the superior officer. "If I should drink now, it would be the first time. You would not advise me to be &ln now, would you, general?" "No; God bless you! Long may you wave!" was the gracious and gallant re sponse. . The Wine and lleer Cure. There is in some papers an untiring but most 1 1 rest me reiteration ot the oft-refuted statement that the tendency of a general use of wine and beer is to reduce drunken ness in thecommunity. Surely beer-drinking Germany nnd wlne-drlnklng Francs furnish no support to this fallacious theory. The Increasing prevalence of drunkenness in those countries begins to excite alarm, and the warning voioe ot the phyBielnn, the statesman, aud the philanthropist is raised regarding the consequent demoralization and physical and mental deterioration of the people. Alcoholic insanity Is reported to be twice as common In France now as fifteen years ago and the number of per sons placed under restraint on account of It has increased twenty-five per cent, iu the last three yonrs. Presbyterian Banner. Shots at the Itnm Traffic. Hum does not mix with reason. A reformer should reform himself first. If he turns bis attention to others before himself he begins at the wrong end. The love of liquor and the love of lucre seem to be two great causes of scandal in the army during our lute unpleasantness with Spain. Temperance and labor are the two best physicians of men; labor sharpens the ap petite, nnd temperance prevents him from indulging in excess. The Review of Ht. Louis says: "Other things being equal be endures hot weather best who is least addicted to the use of in toxicating liquors." There is no mistake about it, the men who ibstain from intoxicating drink have an immense ndvautagn both physically and morally over the rest of the community. Two hundred and fifty-three saloon keepers have gone out of business In Chi cago since July 1. The war tax on beer is the cause. By the first of the year, the city collector says, 400 more dealers will close their doors. At present there are about 6000 saloons in the city. Two lives for one cent is a recent Siciliau record.

Captain Evans is responsible for a choice bit of sailor humor which de serves to be rescued for history before it is lost in some dusty pigeon-hole in tho Navy Department. Ou the day after the destruction of Cervera's ships the Spanish warship Roina Mercedes was discovered in the Santiago Harbor channel, evidently intending to finish what Hobson with the Merrimao had begun. Then Cap tain Adams signalled from the Iowa: "The Spaniards are trying to sink ship to block the channel. They need help." Even the bnsines-like jackey who was fastening the signal flags to the halyards must have laughed as the Captain ordered the letters which spelled ont the last three words. Of course a fleet officered by Ameri cans was not slow to act on the piece of grim humor, and a minute after the signal was hoisted the Iowa, Massa chusetts, Texas and Vesuvious were giving the Keina Mercedes all the "help" she needed. Their shot and shell sank her before she reached her intended berth in the narrowest part of the channel, and left the way into the harbor open to our ships. New York World. The Two Matched.

The Order of the Knights of Ban neret was a degree of knighthood formerly existing in England and France, whioh was given on the field of battle in reward for the perform ance of some heroio act. It was so called because the pennon ot the knight was exchanged for the bauner, proceeding which was effected by rending the points from the pennon. The ceremony of the creatiou of a Knight Kanneret was very impressive. The king, or his general, at the head of his army, drawn up iu order of battle after victory, under the royal standard displayed, attended by all the olllcers abd nobility of the court, received the banneret-elect, who was not necessarily a knight previously, led between two knights ot note, or other men famous in, anus, carryiug his pennou in his hand, the heralds walk ing before him aud proclaiming his valiaut achievements for which he deserved to be made Knight Ban neret, aud to display his banner on the field. The king, or general, then said to him: "Advance, Banneret!" and caused the poiut of his pennon to be torn off. The new knight with bis trumpeters sounding before him, and the nobility aud oftioora bearing him company, was sent back to his tent, where au entertainment was provided by the king.

A pastime which obtains among the farm classes of Korea, known as the "packing off of widows," consists of a raid by some disconsolate widower and his friends on some village known to contain a young widow, the forcible abduction of the lady in question, aud her marriage to the widower. Au in stance of this kind has recently come to our notice. A widower living in one of the Tillages of Kangwha with eleven friends went to a hamlet close to the walls of Kangwha City where widow lived and seized and carried off, after somewhat of a battle, a young lady. It so happenod, however, that they had mistaken the house, and un fortunately got hold of the wrong lady. Early the next morning an indignant posse came in pursuit, but the men who had committed the dastardly deed succeeded in eluding them. The young lady, however, was rescued, and after the house of the widower and its con tents had been completely demolished, she was escorted borne in triumph by her husband and his friends.
