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

The Rcretjf) of ryo is s'cs!oy en the
decline in all Europe. In England it
has almost entirely disappeared. In
Belgium it has lo?t rruch ground. In
Germany mul Ku-:i it cidy hoi. Is its

other countries cf F.jrope it is rreatly

the same marked diminution is to be
noticed. Barley is also on the decline.
But oats are steadily increasing In Im
portance, and aro taking tho land that
was formerly given over to ryo and
barley.
Prof. E. W. Stewart trils tho readers
cf the Country Gentleman how to ren
ovate old animals. lie says: "Cut
clor hay short, say half an inch; take
cheap molasses aud dissolve one pint
in one galiou of water and sprinkle
;.; upon three pounds of the cut
ro vcr with two pounds of buckwheat
C ur and two pounds of wheat bian.
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. The cost of
sending a considerable distance to mar-
t looses the pro3t that otherwise
uugut be possible
The use of envelovs became general

E03IE OLD PUZZLES.

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.

High Speed en Railroads.
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.

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.

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. The
engine weighs sixty-five tons and rests
npon eighteen wheels. Its drivers are
sixty-eight inches in diameter.
