.-. AEOUT THE FAPwil. Hints for Farmers and Busy Housewives to Appreciate. Trof. FrescnTus, of Wiesbaden, after ft long series of chemical analysts, de tiarvs that aa eger contains as much nourishment an a pound and an ounce f cherries, a pound and a half of gooseberries, and four pounds cf pears; and that 11 pounds of grapes, 121 pounds of ru-et apples, 192 pounds of pears, and S27 pounds of plums, are equal in aom i.-'.iraent to 100 pounds f potatoes. In our experience the lato crop et white turnips generally does better aiuon potatoes than among- corn. 8o soon aa potato tops die the turnips have all the soil from which to draw, and they are rather benefited by the stirring of the 6oil required in dicing potatoes by hand. If a horse potato digger Is used, no turnips can be grown, a the. di jct nreearily up turns the entire mmI, including turnips or whatever c'?o way bo growing on it. In ai Xorfliern ciiuiatrs orchards do lest when planted on soil with a good deal of TegetaHo matter. This is more aj't to be a moist soil, and moisture prevents the deep freezing that so often destroys trees when they get Into bear ing. These kiuJa of soiis aro usually low and sheltered from winds, another great advantage w hen the country is denuded of original forests. What Is the use of growing fruit on hillsides, to have it blown off a it begins to ripen. Many farmers think that Angust and September aro the proper months to sow rye. Sown at these times it gives cuttings for soiling in the full. If sowing has beeu in cted, it is re garded by some gocd farmers as an advantage, to sow ryo in the fall, even as late as November, or as long as the ground can be woi':cd. The grain sown thus lato does not tprout ia tho fall, but staita very early in ppring, and the crop is much earlier than from any spring sown seed. The Pixie Farmer says: Tl.3 possi ble products of a ton of cotton seed are tweutv p..-undj of lint, $1; S:0 pounds of hull?. 6 cents; -0 pounds of oil, CI.C3; 7C0 vn:njj cf ca'ce.

E-'eJ this amount to each horse or ani mal three t:iues a day, commencing with a little less per day for two days." Marvelous rcults are claimed for such feeding. The best time to prune apple tree depends largely on the manner in which it is performed. If the super fluous growth is kept rubbed or pinched off as it appears, it may be done ail through the growing season. Where it Is n- ccasary to remove larger growth, the best timo is lato in win ter or very early in spring, before the buds begin to swell. Keep down or cut away all water sprouts, and thin out the top of i ho i.to, so as to leave in open head, which the air and light lan peuctiate. Hog are comparatively few in Ilon luras, although fresh pork sells for 12 1-2 cent pr pound and lard for 20 :ents per pound. This country af fords a considerable market for the log products of the L'nited States. Bacon and sugar-cured hams sell in Tegucigalpa for 76 cents per pound. The climate and pasturage of Hon iara are both favorable to the pro luction of pork, mtiiton, and beef, and the government now offers large in-IWc'm-nts to American capitalist to stablish ranchev and abattoirs. 'Will potatoes and such vegetables nix?" Well, this depends. They do nix very frequently in the baskets hile different varieties are being dug, ind ofteuer still in the cellars, when .how from one bin get into the ad oinitig one; but in the field, where lifferent varieties are growing" along tide of each other, i ia eimply Im possible lor them to et miaeL The n!y way In which different varieties an become "mixed (crossed) ia by fertilizing a variety with the pollen f another, and from the seed thus produced new varieties are frequently raised, with possibly some of the maracterUtica of both parent. Grape growing la in this country ret In it Infancy. We believe the lime will come when successful grape rrowere will baCd over the trellises a ilight protection, if only four or five feet ia width, to shelter tho grapes from rains and heavy dews. Vines thus protected from too much moisture would not be able to mildew or Uie (rapes to rot, or at least, these dis eases, now so prevalent, could be kept iff at much less expense than under Jie present system. Under such a :over grapes would ripen one or two weeks earlier than if unprotected. Green pickles will keep perfectly in ttrong brine. Ko water ia needed nerely place a layer of cucumbers or rther vegetables in the bottom of a cask r jar. and cover them with salt. Suo scssive layers of the vegetables and lalt are added from time to time until Jie vessel is filled. The juice of the regotabie will draw out and with the iissolving salt will form a brine. A oard with a few holes bored in it, tud loaded with a heavy stone, must e kept on top of the pickles to bold hem down. If they float and come n contact with the air, speedy decay follows. Moss litter and sawdust are becom es so generally used for stabling in England that many of the Lancashire mil Chester farmers are unable to sell heir straw. They recently held a neeting to consider this subject, at nrhieh it was admitted that is the pres :nt state of affairs continue, straw will jo selling at five dollars a ton before he end of next year. Certain land ords and corporations have found it jrofltable to buy the moss litter and ie!l their straw, which still furthoi" idds to the glut. The farmers have igi eed not to buy any manures except vhere straw was used for bedding. There is no sweeter or more nntri ious herbage for any kind of stock i:an white clover. It is hardy, too, , ind on much land comes In from seed ring in the ground without sowing. This is what some farmers mean by laying that clover i natural' to cer ain eoils. They are usually such as jither from negligence or failure of teed do not get a catch of other grass is. We suspect that these natural white clover soils are growing scarcer is farming improves. Drinking the whole milk makes fine fat calve, but calves raised on skim jiiik and oatmeal and bran, if not so ileek at eight months old, had a better it-art In bone and muscle, and beat the pampered calf at two years of age. It s a waste of cash product to feed a ;alf whole milk after its rennet tomach charges so as to call for solid food, and it is a mistake to so feed it ifter it is ten days old. Warm skim milk and a little oatmeal are much tetter. Farm Notes. Rub off the sprouts from the fruit trees before they get tough. Lute cultivation in the orchard should be avoided as timo must be given for tho trees to mature their wool. To iltry manure Is one of the best T.ateria that can be used to enrich Jie strawberry bed. Scatter evenly md work well Into the surface. Cut straw, fodder or bagasse make s food mulch for plants of all kinds. They need not to bo cut shorter than two Inches when used for this purpose. One of the most dirEcnlt weeds in .he garden to eradicate Is pussallne. Aftr a good shower It can be pulled up readily, and this is a good way of killing it out. Often when the fail apples cannot be marketed to a good advantage they can te worked up Into cider vinegar with pro lit. But sound fruit shonld be 'ised. Feed the refuse to stock. Flowers, shrubs, evergreens and ornamental trees are necessary to make a nice-appearing yard, as w0 aa a good stand of grass. The best effect is produced by a combination of these. Macy make a mistake in selecting trees and get them too large. A small . tree with plenty of roots will icvaria- 1-1 v make a good tree quicker than a larger one with mutilated root, while he cost will be less in every way. All things considered, the growing of strawberries in matted rows for field cultivation ia the best; in the gar den when only a small number of plants are grown drill culture may be followed. The advantage in matted rows is that the cultivation can be given with the cultivator. Black and raspberries, currants and gooseberries, should be grown in rows i-o that the cultivation can be princi pally done with the cultivator, and the plan of the first two varieties be allowed to grow between the first row out so as to form a hedge. The cherry, apricot, peach and nec tarine requires light, dry soil. The plum docs the best on rotten, stiff clay loam. And the apple, pear and peach thrive best on what may be termed a sandy loam. With all fruits a aupply of potash in aa available form ia neces sary. Before investigating too largely in the growing of fruit for market see that a reasonably good market can be secured conveniently.

E03IE OLD PUZZLES. Xhsy Seem to Be Invested With Vigorous IsimortaLty. aVrival of Coaaadrams lappe! to Hav Bmb Satisfactorily Solved Fifty Tsars Age FroblsTos la Which Ia tares ted reople Will Persist ia Kadieal DisagrMmsat There are certain problems; chiefly arithmetical, embued with a vigorous immorulity. says the New York Jour nal of Commerce. No matter how often the solution ia printed or how widely an exhaustive answer la pub lished the question comes up again, before the ink ia fairly dried, to the lip of hundreds who have not seen the reply or who either can not under stand it or will not accept it. The original question sent to us forty years i go was how to find the product or 19 19s lid St multiplied by itself. CH course if the parts of the pounds were stated as fractions, and the pounds as whole numbers, then 19 6SyytK'ths could be multiplied by it self. But money of account has not two dimensions. If table is four, feet wide and four feet Ions;, then four times four equal six teen feet, and we have the number of square feel on the surface. Five times five pounds are '25, but five pounds time five pounds is unmeaning, aa money does not measure itself in that fashion. Twice two children are four children, but twice ohlldrea two.oiiild rea baa no meaning. So "nineteen pounds, niceteeo shillings, eleven pence, three fanhlngs times nineteen pounds, nineteen shillings, eleven peoce, three farthings," la utter non sense. The next puzzle on the list, and one which comes the oftenettt to our dwk, In some form of a problem which pro poses to divide a whole sum Into frac tions that together did not make the dividend. The original of this In our columns was an arntwer to an actual case where a rutin in his will had dlvla ed one-third, one-fourth, ene-fiith. and one-eixth of his property respectively to his four children, supposing that he hod thus devised the whoie of his estate. The fractions mentioned only made nineteen twentieths of a whole number. This is easily seen If they are reduced to a common denominator. One-third is twenty-sixtieths, one fourth is fifteen-sixtieths, one-fifth Is twelve-sixtieths, and one-sixth Is ten sixtieths, which together make but Ofty-eeven sixtieths, leaving three, sixtieths (or l--'othJ to mate up the whole number. This puzr.le reappears In some form every few days the year round. It is answered on the same principle Involv ed in the intreprctation of the Arab's wilL He had fifteen horses and four sons. lie devised his estate, giving one eon a half, another a quarter, an other an eighth, and the last a six teenth. They found it Impossible to agree on a division. Tho eldest son Insisted that as seven horses would not be half of fi'losn horses ha should have eljrbt. but the other sons obj-cted, and as neither one-ha.f. one-qu irter, one eighth, or one-sijL'.eenth would give either eon an even lot they had a fierce dispute over the division. A venerable sheik rode up Just as ttie quarrel was at tu bniffht. and to cm pore their difference dismounted and generously offered to add his. mare to the fifteen belonging to the estate, agreeing that eaoh should take his allotted share from the whole sixteen, only stipulat ing that his should bathe last seleeted. The addition iu id-i an ea.-y solution of the diCi. uity. i he first then took elfht as his half of th sixteen, the next toolc four for his quaru-r, the the third took two for his eighth, and the fourth took one for his sixteenth. As this made but flfleea tho eheik mounted his mare an i rode away. The Arab boys regarded it as a miracle, and exoliura?d that Allah bad given a horse to the sheik for his generous in- 1 terference. In spite or this oft-told tale tho problem still survives and an nually puzzice hundreds of our coaiv. try men. A more recer.t problem, which we have already answered aevaral times, but which is repeated every week from some quarter, is the divi-iou of one fraction by another. 'Iho original question, which we answered several years ago. was: "What is the quotient t-f two-lhirds divided by one-half? The unthmKinjr person would say that aa the half of two-thirds is one-third. This must be the solution of the pro blem, but Inbo!i wi.l easily refute it. The quo'ient of i divided by i is ljr that is, $ will go in one and one third times. '1 he lat form of the propiem is to find the q-iotientot 1 divided by . Two partners in a lead ing backlog bouse, having disputed, aa they say, all one day over the re result, the senior mainting that 1 divided by J is i. and defying any one to refute it. We answer that when 1 la divided by the quotient is 2; that is, will be found 2 times in 1- If 6 be divided by ) the answer is 12; that is. there are twelve halves In six. We should beg pardon of our readers for repeating these, demonstrations if it were eot for the character and magni tude of the disputes which occur every day concern inp them. We have rese-vej for the last of the puzzles the century question, which will never be laid to rest, we believe, as long as the world stands. We printed 250 proofs of a former answer, and they have all been distributed to parties who have quarreled ovef it. A writer asks us whether the twenti eth century begins with Jan 1, laOJ, or Jan. 1, 1901. and declares that all of whom he addressed for. an answer about half took one date and half (as omer. lucre suuuiu ua a 14,. tlon about It. Ihis century ends with the last moment of the year 1900; and the next begins with Jan. 1. 1901. The muddle grows out of the fixed Idea which some poeple have that the reckoning of time begins with a cipher and one that Is counted when the hour, day, month, or year has closed; where as sill the counting of time begins with one, and at the end of the first period two begins to count. Thus, when a child is born he enters on his East day of the first month of the first year ol his life. Ills ten years are finished, not when he enters in his tenth year, but at its close; and his hundred years are completed, not when the hundredth year Is begun, but ended. When we write 1900 we have beirun the lastyear of the century, not ended it. The cen turies do not begin with 0, 100. 2o0. but with 1. 101. 201. and thus the twentieth century begins with 1901 at the first moment of that year. The quoted date comes with the beginning not the close of the twelve months; and therefore, while we quote the year 1900 as we do every other year at its begioing. we must wait till It ends to close the century.

There are many things connected with high speeds on railways which tax tho ingenuity of locomotive engi neers to the utmost. The lines have to be made strong enongh to withstand the heavy blows of the locomotive, for the other portions of the running plant are light in comparison. A railway train running at 6ixty miles an hour may be compared to a huge projectile, and subject to the same laws. The momentum is the product of the weight of the train multiplied by the square of the velocity in feet per second ; and if we allow a train of one hundred and twenty tons, travelling at a speed of sixty miles an Lour, then the work re quired to bring it to a standstill would bo fourteen thousand four hundred foot tons exerted through one minute, or nearly a thousand-horse power, which gives some idea of its destruc tive force if, unhappily, it should come iuto action ; and yet this terrific power is so entirely under command that the strength of a child turning the small handle of the vacuum brake can bring the train to a stand in a few secendi. Jew Cigar Horror. Among the latest imitations which have been successfully introduced into the tobacco trade are cigars, the wrap pers of winch are made out of a spec ially perfumed paper. A drummer for a large tobacco factory of "ew York State is introducing an Imitation cigar wrapper which was so deceiving ia its character that experts could scarcely distinguish It from the genu ine. This preparation was made from rye straw, and one portion of the process Was to steep the material In a strong solution made from tobacco stems. The grain of the straw together with the manner in which the material was dressed would lead any person to sup pose that it was a sample of the leaf Used in making wrappers for cigars of a more than ordinary quality. The flvor of tobacco was alao present, owing to the paper having bc-en im mersed in the solution made from the genuine article. ancient Tombs Discovered at Naples. A subterranean chamber has beeu discovered under a house on the hill side at Naples. Along the center runs a mosaic pavement, and on each side there is a double row of sepulchres hewn in the rock, the fronts of which are stuccoed and painted and decorated With terra cotta and marble reliefs. "Within the tombs were pefect skele tons, vases), and other objects, the an tique lamps being in such good con dition that when the new find was in spected by a party of German archae ologists, the workmen made use of them to light up the vaults. The many well preserved inscriptions are chiefly in Greek, with some Latin, and prove that the epoch of these tombs was about 10CO B. C. Other tombs in a second chamber have not yet been ex cavated. Similar catacombs have here tofore been found in this locality. Fall Mall Gazette A Fast Locomotive. On the Big Four road, between Cin cinnati and Indianapolis. Is an engine which advance the maximum speed limit enormously. It is one of five engines built according to the patent of an inventor named Strong, and ia being tested by the Big Four people. It is claimed for it that it is capablo of hauling a heavy passenger train at the rate of from seventy-five to ninety miles per hour, and the tests made, while not severe, have tended to sus tain tbe rlaim. The engine itself con tains many novel features in construc tion. It has cylinders in which the e-M4 of steam, after it has been used, is r arranged as to be a vast imjyove ment over the common. The boiler is very long and there are two fire boxes. An ingenious contrivance consumes ilrp pax's and smoke, so that economy in ilie ue of fuel is one of the advan tages claimed. The fireman has a cab to himself at the rear of the boiler, while the engineer occupies a separate rah perched on the top of the boiler, a liule to the rear of the center.
