WATCHED LIKE HAWKS.
France Increased Her Naval Force and
England Went One Better.
The British naval squadron in New-
foundland waters this year will be in-
creased to five ships. A few years
Rgo the service was regarded by both
- France and England as merely patrol
work, for which obsolete wooden
corvettes and then slightly more mod-
ern ships were detailed. After Fash-
oda, the French vexation found evi-
dence in sending out the powerful
armored cruiser Isly, the British re-
taliating by calling home the anti-
quated frigrate Cordelia in the middle
of ths season and sending out instead
the splendid third-class battleship
Charybois, a match for the Isly in
every respect. The French the next
epring reinforced the latter with the
Fulton, a rain-bow, fast-steaming gun-
toat. The ‘British equalized matters
by detailing the Pylades, a ship more
than a match for her. The next step
of the British was to add a fourth
ship, both powers having as their
third a small gunboat. The fourth
Britisher was an armed sloop, the Co-
lumbine.
RUSSIANS IN MANCHURIA.
It Is Unlikely That They Will Give
Up Their Grip There.
. The number of Russian troops In
Manchuria is said to be 91,200, but it
is difficult to believe that the czar has
had an army of such magnitude there.
As for railway guards, it is said that
800 will be left in Shinking, 700 in
Kirin and 550 in Amur, or 2,000 in all,
says the Chicago Daily News. These
guards are to be of the nature of po-
lice rather than of soldiers. Russia,
it is alleged, will hand back New:
chwang to China in December, but
only the most famous admirers of
Muscovite policy believe that the
great northern power will ever prac-
tically retire from Mgnchuria. It is
not its policy to draw back from any
land that it has once occupied despite
treaties and agreements to the con-
trary.

- Cleaning the Well.
The fall is the time to clean the well.
Because water is clear is no reason for
supposing it to be absolutely free from
impurities. All surface water should
drain away from the well and it should
be protected against toads and insects.
Anything that will dissolve in water
will go wherever the water goes. The
filter removes only the suspended mat-
ter,
Pneumonia in Cattle.
According to the Kansas bulletin,
pneumonia is caused by dusty hay and
fodder. The bacteria that live normal-
ly in the air passage increase rapidly
under the irritation, causing inflamma-
tion. The animal has a cough that is
dry at first, but afterward accompanied
by mucus. There is a tendency to lie
down, and sometimes to rest the lower
jaw on the ground, Give good protec-
tion, pure water, and laxative, nutri-
tious food. Dampen the hay, and let
the animal lick a little daily of the fel-
lowing mixture: Salt ten pounds, sul-
phur one pound, air-slaked lime one
pound, hyposulphite of soda one
pound. Bran mashes enriched with
oil meal are excellent.
To Make a Good Whitewash,
Slake with boiling water a half
bushel of lime, cover during the opera-
tion to keep in the steam; after strain-
ing add a peck of salt which has been
dissolved in warm water; then add a
thin paste made of three pounds of
ground rice, stirred in wiile hot; then
add a half pound of Spanish whiting
and one pound of glue previously dis-
solved in water. Add five gallons of
hot water to the mixture, stir well and
allow to stand for a few days, well
covered. This whitewash must be ap-
plied hot. The above is almost as good
as paint for preserving wood, and
keeps white almost as long. Houses
and fences can be made to last a life-
time by using this wash once in eight
or ten years.
A Handy Stanchion.
The standards a are bolted at the top
and bottom by two by six picces. These
are made of two by fours and extend
even with the top of the horizontal
two by six to which they are bolted.
The movable two by four, which when
closed holds the animal, is bolted only
to the bottom two by six, this bolt act-

ing as a hinge. 'This piece b is several
inches longer than its mate, and ex-
tends above the upper horizontal two
by six. Where a stanchion is built to
hold a number of animals, all the mov-
able two by fours are bolted at the top
to a horizontal two by four extending
the length of the stanchion about three
inches above the top horizontal two by
six. At one end of this horizontal two
by four c is a lever @ b which all the
animals can be fastened in simul-
taneously. This is a very convenient
arrangement. A great improvement
over the old way of fastening the
closed stanchion in place when closed
with a pin is a simple automatic lock.
It is made of a short piece of two by
four bolted to the side of the bar by
one end, the other lying on top of the
two by four horizontal c¢. The end of ¢
is notched to let the end of the block
drop into it when the stanchion is
closed, holding it in place until lifted
up. The lever d can they be thrown
back and the stanchion is opened.—J.
L. Irwin, in Orange Judd Farmer.
An Experience in Spraying.
In 1896 I bought a first-class brass
pump to use in a pail, as my orchard
was small and young. I used one tea-
spoonful of London purple, four tea-
spoonfuls of flour and about fourteen
quarts of water, spraying once when
the orchard was just out of bloom. One
Baldwin tree I did not spray. Sixteen
barrels of fine apples were picked in
October, and were put up and marked.
As the commission house failed just
then I put them in the cellar, nailed
up tight; fifteen barrels from the
sprayed trees and one from the un-
sprayed. In early March, 1897, I sort-
ed and sold the lot. The fifteen barrels
of sprayed fruit turned out fifteen bar-
rels; they could have been shipped
without sorting. The one barrel of un-
sprayed lost one half. Spray by all
means.—J. E. Way, in The Epitomist,
Tame the Coit.
There is no place where education
counts for more, except in the child,
than in the young horse. The fright-
ful accidents, loss of life and property,
which are the result of runaways, at-
test this fact. With the colt, as with
the child, early education and impres-
sions are lasting and more easily im-
parted than at any other period of life.
Hence the necessity of commencing
early. The colt should be accustomed
to the ways of man. before he is a
week old. At this age he can be
handled without danger. Leaving a
horse to mature before he is broken is
about the poorest economy one can
think of.
Not only the danger attending the
handling of a wild horse when fully
grown, but the further fact that the
horse is never safe. ‘The safe horse is
always in demand at much better fig-
ures than the half broken one. As the
expense of producing horses is destined
to increase, we eannot afford to put
our horses on.the market unless thor.
oughly broken.—N. J. Harris, in Twene
tieth Century Farmer,
The Best Hog Pasture.
The cheapest, quickest and best hog
pasture is the alfalfa. It is a rank
grower and keeps ahead of the hogs.
This is an important feature, to have
a pasture that is a full supply for the
herd of swine. In pasturing hogs it is
best to -have small inclosures and ar-
ranged so the herd can rotate in graz-
ing, taking one pasture one week, an-
other the next, and so on, thus keeping
on practically fresh grass all the time.
A few acres can be made to pasture
a large number of hogs when confined
to suitable lots.
The. hog pasture is an auxiliary to
the feed lot. It should not be made to
take the place of the feed lot or the
corn crib. The hog raiser who makes
a success of hog raising and hog feed-
ing will use the pasture to help in the
growth and health of his hogs. A large
hog lot with adjoining pastures is a
convenience that the hog raiser should
provide on the farm. The hogs can
thus be let on to the pastures at will
and sHut off to suit the demands.
The pasture is almost as important
as the feed lot. If you have not the
alfalfa hog pasture you should lose
ne time in starting one. Some sow
rape for the hogs to pasture on, others
sow rye, while some sow sorghum.
Any green crop is better than a dry
lot. Swine of all ages should be sup-
plied with a liberal allowance of green
feed, and the more permanent this
supply can be made the cheaper it will
be and the less liable to neglect in this
important feature of hog feed.—Ne-
braska Farmer.
Fence Posts.
In many sections of the country
where timber is scarce the question of
fence posts is a serious one. In tim-
berless regions where soft woods are
grown for the purpose, about four
years apparently ends the usefulness
of a post that is cut and set in the
usual way. If well seasoned before
setting, another year or two may be
added, but the post problem is very un-
satisfactory.
The posts may be doubled or more, in
durability by a simple process of sat-
uration by lime. A pit is dug three
feet deep, and three inches of fresh
quicklime is spread on the bottom; the
posts, already pointed for driving, are
set on end in the pit close together,
with as much lime scattered among
them as is possible—up to the level of
the ground. A ridge of earth is raised
around the stack of posts, and water
is poured in upon the lime, to slack it.
The slacking of lime causes consider-
able heat, by which the moisture of the
timber is driven out by the expansion.
The cooling of the posts and lime, after
the slacking is over (care being taken
to make the lime sufficiently liquid)
causes the timber to absorb moisture
again, and thus the liquid lime is ab-
sorbed by the wood, the acid of which
is thus neutralized; as it is this acid
which causes the otherwise rapid de-
cay of the timber, the destruction of it
by the lime avoids this effect, and the
timber is very much increased in dura-
bility. To get the best results the posts
should be seasoned. If they are laid
down in the trench the whole post will
benefit by the treatment.—The Epito-
mist.

A Practical Brooder House.

go to the expense of a hot water sys-
tem for brooding early chickens, but
there are many who would like an eco-

dred early chickens. The cut shows

on legs as it is, the attendant does not
have to stoop over his work, and with
the raised run for the chicks, they are
brought on a level with the brooder,
so they can easily run in and out.
This run is coated with gravel, and
cemented. Allow six feet for each

MULTIPLE TALKING MACHINES.
The Instrument’s Efficiency Greatly Ine
creased.
Much of the strained and unnatural
quality of sounds reproduced by the or-
dinary phonograph or gramophone, es-
pecially in the case of the human voice,
is due to the fact that in order to make
the reproductions as loud as possible,
the original must be of abnormal ef-
fort. Emile Berliner, the well known
electrical inventor, has, however, de-
vised a reproducing machine, wherein
this trouble is remedied. It is com-
posed of a number of separate gramo-
phones operated simultaneously. The
art has advanced so far that the rec-
ords may be made exact duplicates of
each other, even to the minutest de-
‘tail. The only difficulty in operating
several machines is to have them regis-
ter exactly with ecacli other, so as to
insure simultaneous cperation. A table
or support is provided, on which there
are mounted a number of rotary tables
of the usual gramophone type, and
adapted to receive the well known rec-
ord tablets of commerce. "These tab-
lets are generally arranged in a stag-
gered row, each. being supported on
an upright spindle or shaft journaled
in a standard fastened to the table.
Upon each shaft just below the table
is secured a disk having equally spaced
radially projecting pins of its peri-
phery. The disks are all of the same
size, with the same number of pins,
and they are driven together with the
tables at the same speed by means of a
belt, having perforations spaced to fit
the pins ‘and operated by a motor of
any desirable construction. The regis-
tering devices make it possible .to in-
sure the contact of each stylus with a
corresponding point of each record, by
the mere act of placing the stylus on
the proper line. Power being applied
to rotate the records, identical sounds
issue from each of the horns, and the
combined body of sound may be made
as great as desired by using an appro-
priate number of records. Therefore,
it is possible to provide an exact repro-
duction of the human voice or to make
it louder or softer.
The Weight of Ocean Cables.
The cables of the world aggregate
about 180,000 nautical miles. While
the bulk of this is the property of pri-
vate = companies, something in the
neighborhood of 20,000 miles is owned
or actively controlled by the differcnt
colonial powers. The British Empire
and France have about 500C¢ and S000
miles respectively, Germany 2000 and
Italy 1000. Spain was credited with
1700 miles, but a considerable’ propor-
tion of this must now appertain to the
United States.
The laying of a cable across the ocean
is not nearly so simple a matter as
might appear at first thought. There
are a number of things to be taken
into account. The enormous weiglft of
any considerable length of cable (say,
for instance, sufficient to reach from
Hawaii to an island of the Ladrones, or
what would be only one division in a
direct cable between the United States
and the Philippines) is an important
factor. The Great Eastern was able
to carry enough for the whole distance
between Valentia, Ireland, and Heart's
Content, Newfoundland, and success
fully laid it after two attempts. Bul
this is not so great a distance as our
illustration, and, moreover, modern ca-
bles differ from their predecessors in
being made much heavier and in va-
ried types to meet certain conditions.
What is known as “deep-sea cable”
weighs about two tons to the mile,
while the inshore variety weighs four-
teen tons to the mile. There are other
intermediate grades. Instead of using
monstrous vessels it has been found
expedient to lay long-distance cables in
sections.—Percie W. Hart, in Lippin-
cott’s,
A Frequent Cause of Fire.
“Children playing with matches
cause a great many fires,” said a mem-
ago after returning from a fire that
had been caused in the manner stated.
“Thoere is reason for such fires,” the
fireman added. “It seems that people
ought to keep matches out of the reach
of children and it would be a very easy
matter to do so. Match safes could
be hung on nails or pegs driven so high
above the floor that children could not
reach them, even if they stood upon
chairs. By taking alittle precaution
in the matter many disastrous fires
would be prevented and some fatalities
avoided. .
“Only a few days ago, the fireman
said, "a child was seriously burned
while playing with matches, and only
the early discovery of ‘the flames pre-
vented what might have proved a
serious conflagration. Many p@ople are
entirely too careless in this mdtter and
by the exercise of ordinary care much
serious damage would be avoided.
“If people would only take this mat-
ter seriously and act accordingly, they
would find at the end of the year that
there will be a good showing made so
far as the fire fatalities are concerned.”

Syrian Asphalt.
Asphalt is found in the provinces of
Syria on the banks of the Dead Sea,
floating on the surface of its waters.
Through the action of earthquakes the
asphalt has been torn from the bottom
of the sea and driven toward the
shores, especially to tle: east. "The nar-
ratives of the Greek and Roman his.
torian to the effect that asphalt
small islands was upheld by the salt
water and driven over the surface o.
the sea are without doubt true. This
asphalt, and generally the oriental ot
Egyptian, is pure and expensive, and
used principally in the manufacture
as
ef a certain kind of varnish, but for
general purposes, owing to its brittle-
ness as well, is useless in the asphalt

SERENE TRADE ASPECTS.
Prospects of Early Settlement of
Strikes Greatly Improve the In-
dustrial Outlook,
R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Settlement of numer
ous labor controversies and prospect
of early agreements as to other strug-
gles have greatly improved the in-
dustrial outlook, while agricultural
conditions steadily improve. As these
have been the only unfavorable in-
fluences for some months, the pros
pects for active trade are decidedly
encouraging. Preparations for un-
usually heavy fall sales are being
made, and confidence grows stronger.
Mills and furnaces that have been
idle on account of the usual overhaul-
ing, resumed as rapidly as needed re-
pairs could be made. Financial con-
ditions are sound, the midyear divi-
dend distributions producing no
stringency, and speculation has been
heavy for the season, both in securi-
ties and staples. Pig iron continues
to command full prices, supplies fall-
ing below requirements, and furnace
deliveries failing to fill contracts.
Scarcity of fuel is still the principal
drawback, while car and motive
power shortage are additional causes
of delay. New orders are reported
for distant delivery, running about
a year ahead. Prices are fully main-
tained for the raw material, but bil-
lets weakened slightly because of for-
eign selling. Importations have
reached a considerable aggregate, and
nore are expected. Structural ma-
terial is still the feature, new busi-
ness being offered in great bulk. Rail-
way needs do not diminish, despite
the enormos amont of work already
placed and agricultural implement
makers are fully employed. A general
advance in prices of machine tools
has occurred, averaging nearly 10 per
cent. It was expected that mills and
foundries would resell pig iron, owing
to the high premiums obtainable, but
this factor has had no appreciable ef-
fect as yet, most consumers requiring
all the material received. Manufae-
turers of cotton goods hold nrices
steady, and there has been a distinct
increase in demand during the past
week, although buying is only for im-
perative requirements. Some cur
tailment of spinning is reported at
scuthern mills, the tendency being to
wait until the crop cotton comes for-
ward. Export trade has increased
through buying for India, but China
is less of a factor than usual. New
lines of light weight woolens and wor-
steds have opened at unchanged prices
and the increased activity of mills
has aroused more interest in the raw
material, which tends to advance.
Eastern shoe shops receive more or-
ders, some of the larger producers
refusing contracts calling for deliv-
ery before October. Prices are firmly
held. Failures for the week number
213 in the United States, against 193
last year, and 20 in Canada, against
32 last year.
