UNCLE SAM'S new Supreme Court of welfrhts ami meas ure, for the building of which Congress JiiRt gave Secretary (inge a quarter million dot lars. Is the largest bureau added to the Government for many yenrs. You have con It referred to In the new dis patches as the National Bureau of Standards. That Is Its official name. It might be more properly calted the Supreme Court of Weights and Meas ures, because It really will be the tri bunal of last appeal, whereat disputes as to the accuracy of weights and measuring Instruments can be Dually ettled. This new bureau will save millions Of dollars a year to our great Indus tries, will make the researches of dentists more accurate, will enable the surveyor to stake out our building and farm lots with greater precision, STANDARD WEIGHTS AND MEA SCRES I'SKD BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT. trill give the common people better measure of dry goods, groceries, gas and electric light. This bureau of standards will correct our weights and measures, that they may all be equally uniform. It will test yard ticks, meter sticks, peck measures, litre measures, pound weights, kilo gram weights, thermometers, steam gauges and all kinds of delicate meas uring devices. It will stamp each with a Government stamp certifying Its truthfulness or error. A representative of each measuring sramdard ys Kilogram (f--J or weighing Instrument to bo thus tested and stamped will be stored In the new bureau as "the" standard of that particular measure and weight, with which all others of Its class must be compared. There will be a stand ard yard graduated Into standard feet and Inches; other standards of length, standards of weight, qmiutlly, dec ' trlclty, heat, light, pressure and so ou, with their subdivisions and multiples. To-day wo are dependent upon Out- nvi:mim)f.,'fig'itWffTOi.ii l!rt:l1ftft;raTOtfrTl,,rlCTHnTl;fft,f"'f 'ft'H gjipi .,rtPRt- STIC- . a, C many, France and England which have standardizing bureaus for these corrections. It will be difficult to realize the amount of care which will be taken with these standards Installed in the new bureau. To properly shelter them from the many disturbing influences which have little effect upon ordinary Instruments the new building will cost a half as much again as would a usual structure of the same size. Professor 8. W. Strattou is the new director of the bureau. The laboratory, as the main building will be known, will bo situated In an open space so large that no other building can be erected within a quarter of a mile of It. It will be far enough from the city to be out of reach of tho vibrations caused by elec tric cars and heavy wagons. Many of the walls will be double, to prevent penotration of hot or cold air aud con sequent fluctuation of interior temper ature, z Compressed air and vacuum pipes will extend throughout the building, as will several systems of electric wires. There will be double windows capable of flooding the rooms with light, also light-proof shutters, mak ing them absolutely dark. There Will be Ore-proof vaults for the storing of tho standards. A separate building, thousand yards or more away, will Install the engines, dynamos and other heavy ma :hlnery essential to the work. As a whole., the Institution will be a modern fmpls of science, of which us countr may be Justly proud. . f The bureau will als establish standard electric cell, measuring stand ard volts; Indeed, electric, standards of many kinds. Although applications of electricity represent a rapidly-growing business with Investments of $2,000, 000.000, there are In this country no facilities for testing meters and other Instruments used In electric measure ments. A. standard thermometer will be an other of the many Instruments to be stored In this bureau. With this will be compared for correction the mill Ions of thermometers used by physi cians and surgeons, by scientific labor atories and the great Industrial estab lishments. For a long time tTncle Sam has had an office of weights and measures for giving out, mostly to Its scientists, standards of weights, measures and capacities which have been adopted for convenience, but not by law. It has always been a part of the coast and geodetic survey, but Is now merged Into the now bureau of standards. What Is practically our standarcf for measuring length at the present time Is to be found here. .This Is known as the "standard meter." a bar of metal, kept In three or four cases for its pro- V USED F0 "Standardizing tectlon. This bar cost $2."00, and the metnl aloue in It Is said to be valued at S1300. The United States standard kilo gram, which was similarly obtained from Paris, Is a duplicate of the world's standard kilogram. Installed In that city. It Is a small cycllnder of the same metol used In the construc tion of the staudnrd meter. This met nl. by the way, Is an alloy of platinum and Iridium, selected becauso It cannot be destroyed by heat. It cost $1000. Two bell Jars, one fitting over the other, protect It from the dust. It Is handled only by a pair of forceps with chamois skin ends. Philadelphia Rec ord. Fiftieth Annlversnvy of fttnottier Costume Exactly half a century has passed since Mrs. Bloomer Immortalized her self by suggesting that skirts be dis carded In favor of n more rational style of dress, and now some of her warm admirers in England and Ger many nio saying that tills uotahle event in modern hlxtory ought to be commemorated in some fitting man lier. With the object of interesting the public, they are telling nil they know about this remarkable womau, and have published n portrait of her, the original of which appeared In The Lily, n moil l lily magazine, which was edi ted by Mrs. Bloomer. It was early In 1S31 that the number of the magazine containing the por trait appeared, and Mrs. Bloomer, who was then living nt Seneca Falls, X. Y was at once recognized as the cham pion of a movement In favor of dress reform. The portrait of herself in her singular costume, of course, did much to bring her Into public notice, nud, - ;iSat;'av" - 7 rfa furthermore, elie took care to publish In her magazlue articles by physi cians, showing that the stylo of dress advocated by her wus far more by- glenle and rational than the old fash toned skirt.

Havs a Variety of OiauM, Cows will fall off In yield of milk It the food Is suddenly changed, or If forced to drink very cold water. In the grazing season they will some times fall off In milk If changed from one pasture to another. The appe tites of cows differ, and they will trav el over a large area In order to secure some favorite grass. The pasture should consequently contain a variety of grasses. In order that each animal may more easily select Its food. Wean's on nighT-aya. It Is the duty of every farmer to exterminate the weeds on the roads along his farm. Some of the most troublesome weeds have traveled from one end of the country to the other along highways. Every farmer should make It his business to sea that nn weeds go to seed on the highway ad joining his farm. The Canada thistle Is traveling all over the country, at no mean rate of speed, and as long as farmers will not keep It down along the highways there Is no use of doing so on other parts of the farm: and the same may be said of many other of the vegetable pests. Market fqunlt Itnistns fnr Women. There Is no good reason why women should not eneage In raiding squabs for market. They succeed with poul try and the work in nut m ar as hard producing squabs as chickens, or broilers. The most objectionable part of the business would be killing the squabs and cleaning out the pens. This, however, Is not as hard as the same work In the poultry business. Besides feeding her stock she has one day In the week for killing day, which is Tuesday. It is not a hard task to kill six dozen and hang them In the cellar to cool until the next day, when they are ready to shTp. A woman enn easily care for 400 pairs of pigeons and the net Income should be at least $400. If they were, kept In well arranged buildings It would require not more than one hour morning and evening to feed and water the flock. If the building used for the purpose was heated above the freezing point in winter and water piped to each pen a great many more birds could be cared for In the same time and with less labor. A continuous building with on aisle or walk at the back of the pens Is the best style so that it would not be necessary to go through the pens In feeding and caring for the birds. E. F. Barry, in Oranga Judd Farmer. Cooking reetl for fowl and linen. Seven years ago I bought a feed cooker that I have used ever since for cooking feed for hogs nnd scalding foed for cows. For the hogs I take six bushels small potatoes, apples or pumpkins, run them through a root cutter so they will cook quickly and when they nro done mix one bushel cornmenl and one bushel bran. This makes 100 gallons of feed. When It li all mixed well together I tnke the foed out of the cooker nnd put It in barrels that are packed In sawdust, which keeps the feed warm until It is fed up. 1 feed the hogs all they will eat of this three times a day. Having never weighed the hoga for a test', I cannot tell exactly how much guiu there i from cooking the feed ovor feeding it uncooked, but should think about one fourth. One bushel cobs and an armful of old railB split up for wood will cool: the 100 gallons feed. For cows I put one peck hnrloy sprouts In a galvan ized bushed bnsket, heat water In the cooker to the scalding point, fill up the basket with water at night, and In tho morning I have a basketful of nice, thick, lukownrm feed. I give four quarts to each cow In milk, which I think Increases the flow of milk at the least one-quarter. Another ad vantage in cooked feed Is that all the foul seeds are destroyed so that none goes bnck on the land to sprout and grow weeds. E. M.'Van Dyne, New England Homestead. Lonc-LWed Treee Are llelnu Planted. The division of forestry, through its section of tree planting, has succeeded In arousing widespread interest in tha subject of tree growing on the plains of the upper Mississippi valley. An agent of the division has recently re turned from that region, and reports that the farmers in the territory west of the Mississippi and north of the 40th parallel of latitude are awaking to the Importance of planting tres, especially for economic purposes.' The planters of this section are anxious to avoid the mistakes made during the operation of the timber claim act. Tin groves now being planned are designed to be permanent features on the home steads. ' ' To that end the farmers will use a greater proportion of long-lived, slow growing species than formerly. The demand for such hardy, drouth-resist-Ing species as the hnckberry,' reen ash, white elm, tur oak, red A red cedar and western yellow plr (bull pine) promUes to bo grently It creased during the next few years. The greatest present difficulty with which the prospective tree planter hits to con tend Is the tact that commercial grow ers of nursery stock are not supplied with this kind of material. The nur series still carry lurge quantities of the short-lived kinds,' Btich as boxelder, cotonwood, maple. and willow, but are short on the most valuable species. The planting of conifers on -tho prairies of the west during the past, has. not - been attended with general success. This Is owing to the use of eastern and Introduced kinds that art tidtadftpted to tha country. There is abunownt evidence, however, that the red cedar and western yellow pin (bull pine) will thrive throughout this section. The desirability of ever greens for wind-breaks on a bleak prairie should lead owners to turn their attention to these hardy native species. United States Department of Agriculture. Farming That Trends to failure. Although we can earn a livelihood with less hard manual labor than our fathers of 30 or 40 years ago could, if we keep up with the manner of living today, we must manage more methodi cally and skillfully than was required by their simple and less luxurious man ner of living. They had broad acre of rich, virgin soil, from which they skimmed their crops much to the Im poverishment of their descendants, we think. But now we must contract, con centrate and Intensify our labor, to In crease the productiveness of our fields, to do which successfully, requires knowledge of the supplying needed elements of productiveness. Success ful farmers are those who understand these principles and practice them. Those who do not know, or regatd them are more or less failures. There are many ways of mlsmanagcmen, which cause the rapid exhaustion ot the fertility of tho farm. To managa In such a way as to produce paying crops, and not unduly exhaust tin soil, requires Judicious management. Not everyone who says be Is a farmer Is one. He may pursue the business after a manner, but in point of knowl edge and skill, he Is wanting, and, at best, he Is merely an Imitator. There are many of this class of farmers. Most of them fall because they do not understand or properly adopt the best means of maintaining the fertility ot their land. They also often cultivate more latid than their force warrants, giving only Indifferent cultivation; and as the drain upon the farm goes on about the same whether large or small crops are grown, and as poor crops usually follow poor cultivation, such farming makes a sterile farm. Then there Is the widely practiced method of raising grass and stock to be sold off the farm. This when rightly conducted Is very profitable, but tho practice of sowing the farm to grass, clover and other forage crops and stock raising, neglecting cultivation and manuring, Is anything but profit able. The crops are harvested and cither sold or fed to stock, and the stock sold off the farm; and as tho prevailing Idea about this sort of farm ing Is that grass and stock raising keep up the land, little if anythlns Is returned to tho soli to replace the heavy annual drain upon it, required to produce crops and build up the ex pensive animal frame. Innumerable farms are run down under this Ill managed syBtem of farming. J, I, B., In Agricultural EpitomlsL A Clond Coinnoiit Heap. On my seed farm I make a great deal of waste vegetable matter, such as buck wheat straw, rye straw too much brok en up In threshing by machinery to be marketable for bedding, and a large quantity of the mixture of forest leaves and meadow hay thnt after two seasons of use as covering for 30,00i) or 10,000 seed cabbages has become too fine and broken for future use. These, if left In heaps, in the course of a few yenrs, become, at the bottom, the blackest of humus, the rye straw being by far tho slowest to decompose. At the close of the planting season of 1809, having two or three carloads of stable manure and about half a ton of ground bone, nitrate of soda and muriate of potash to spare, I concluded to utilize more or less of the waste by muklng a compost heap In the cellar of one of the stables. It was mado with manure as a foundation,, then a layer of the half-rotten, strawy ma terial, over which we scattered one of the fertilizing elements, care being taken to place the most strawy ma terial nearest the bottom of the heap. About half way up I dumped In and spread evenly some four cords of halt rotten corn cobs. 'With alternating layers we built up the heap to ths depth of about five feot. This was in early summer. It was left untouched until planting time next spring, when on testing It I found that every substance had fully rotted, and the whole mass was In a fine state of comminution; ever the corn cobs had entirely disappeared, and thus added their 25 percent of potash to tho heap. I used this compost on freshly broken up sod, vivlng It a fair dressing tor a corn crop. I planted It with Longfellow, and had the most wonder ful results In growth ot stalk ever known in my experience as a corn grower; by actual measurement many ot these were nine and one-half feet In height, with the ears so high up that a man of average height could walk under many of them without touching them with his hat. The crop contained a larger proportion of long, well-filled ears than any I can recall in a long life devoted to farming oper ations. The compost utilized1 not only mucn waste vegetable matter, but the nitrate of BOda and muriate of potash, fer tilizers which all who have kept them over a season are aware, dampen and waste more or less in the process of keeping.
