Economical I'se of Water Power.
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

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

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.

Temperance Work In Knsiantt.
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

indulging in excess.
The Review of Ht. Louis says: "Other

There is no mistake about it, the men
who ibstain from intoxicating drink have
an immense ndvautagn both physically and

Two hundred and fifty-three saloon

Uls prescriptions and treatment did not

Indisputable evidence that they were help

nntil now eight boxes have been consumed,
and she feels like a now woman.
Mrs. Honseweart said: "I bare taken

good than any physician or auy medicine I

War Humor nt Santiago.
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

Am ObseUt Order.
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. The first Banneret iu
England is said to have been made by
Edward I., and the last by Charles I.

Took the Wrong Widow.
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. Kobe
