The nnlt of weight for hemp, sunar.
copra and grain Is thp "plcul," which
Is equivalent to l.W.4fi71 pounds
United States standard, and the
"plcul" Is divided Into 100 "cafes."
Grain Is also Fold hy dry measure. The
standard Is the "cavan," which Is
equivalent to (iS.l United States
quarts or 2.13 bushels. The "cavan"
Is made up of 25 "Rantas" (2.724
quarts each), which In turn contains
8 "chnpas" (22.88 cubic Inches each),
of 4 "aptanes" each (5.644 cubic Inches
In each "aptan"). Tobacco and
ramie are sold by the "quintal" In
bales of 2, 3 or 4 quintals each. The
"quintal" Is equivalent to 101.41
pounds and Is divided Into 4 "arrohes"
of 25.35 pounds. Oil sells In "tlna
Jas" or Jars, of IB "gantas" each, the
"tlna.la" holding about 50.71 quarts
and the "ganta" being equivalent to
3.17 quarts. Indigo is sold In three
grades, tho standard being a "case"

Gold Dredging in the Urals.
Gold placers have bepn worked In
the Ural and In Siberia for many
years, but with rare exceptions no at
tempts have been mnde to extract
gold from the gravels lying below the
level of the surface water. Ill-considered
attempts at dredging have been
made In a few Instances on the tribu
taries of the Amoor river In East Si
beria. These were failures, princi
pally on account of the shortness of
the season and the distance from re
pair Bhops. In the Ural, peasant op
erators have long obtained gold and
platinum from the rivers by the prac
tice of "boat-shoveling," a method
formerly used to some extent In the
southeastern part of the United
States. ThlB method, however, which
employs no machinery more elaborate
than a hand-windlass, Is necessarily
limited In capaelty. Within two years
dredges of the New Zealand and
American types have been Installed
In the Marlins' district of West Si
beria. Reports from the American
machine are not yet at hand, but
those from the New Zealand dredge,
the only one In operation during the
season of 1900, leave no question as
to Its complete success.

A Massachusetts reader wnnts to
I.now how to feed hogs on clover hay
as the bull! of the food nnd at the
t.amo tlmo l;eep them In growing con
dition? Probably tho best pl:in would bo to
rut the hay and feed It as a slop In
conjunction vitli ground gtnln. Tho
liny should be steamed, but If you
have not tho fncllltlivi to do this pour
boiling hot. water cm It and alter iitlr
rlng It add the grain nnd then silr It
nKiiln thorouft.'ily.
Corn, tints nnd rlovrr hay In equal

Witness.
!!fna IVtliT Hiwn Cow,
It ! usually raid that It. requires
four tier'.? of ground to accomodate
en . cow, nnd the r.vernge yearly profit
nl:nut tm, to siy nothing of the Ions
hours nnd hard work In milking nnd
carina lor the cow. This ninl.es a
profit of . p.n acre; a p.ior nhowlnjs.
we think, when compared wIMi the
faithful old hen. An acre of ground
will furnkili the food for f.O lienn, the
profits from which will far exceed that
of the cow. The secret of success
with poultry lies In faithful application
of common senas methods, and no man
need say he cannot make poultry pay.
Every day we see examples of what
can be done; nnd though wo also see
failures, a cause can always be found.
Home and Farm.
Comparison of Hay nnd f'atnre.
Poes It pay to use a pasture: thnt
Is, will a larger profit be derived from
rows thnt nre given exclusively the
use of a pasture, or will the same Innd
pay more if useu for producing hay?
The Michigan Experiment station
found, after repeatpd tests, that about
four tlmps as much food could be ob
tained from a meadow- by allowing It
tii produce hay than by pasturing It,
which means- that four cows can be
kept on the land where only one can
be kept by pasturing It. One of the
drawbacks agnlnr.t uzlng the land for
bay, however. Is that considerable la
bor Is required In mowing, curing and
storing the liny, while the cowa on the
pasture perform the labor. Also that
cows given green food as pasturage
produce more milk In the? summer sea
son than If kept on hay, and must be
given green food In some manner to
be profitable.
Rliflterlns: Tool.
The farmer cannot afford to have
good tools and machinery on his farm,
unless he can afford to have buildings
to protect them from the weather, and
he cannot spend an hour or a day
more profitably than in cleaning them
up, overhauling them and making re
pairs on them before they are likely
to be wanted again. The plows, har
rows and more expensive machinery
left out of doors this winter will de
tf rlorate in value more than one-fifth.
The loss would more than pny the In
terest on the cost of a good building
to shelter them In, and In many cases
exceed the taxes on the farm. If they
were not properly cared for when ln.'t
used, take one of theae fine days and
gather them up, clean them, oil all the
iron work and paint all the wood work.
Never mind getting a painter to do
the job. Buy a can of readv mixed
paint and a cheap brush. Use any
color that, you like, but use it freely,
not as an ornament, but as a preserva
tive of the wood as the oil is of the
iron. Wo heard of two farmers who
cwncJ a harrow in partnership, and
thought it should be painted, but
could not agree on the color. Finally
they compromised, and one painted
his half black, whllo the other used
yellow ochre. We never learned which
half wore out first. Whllo overhaul
ing, see that all bolts and nuts are tn
place and b -oken parts mended. Tho

Winter Keep of Cabbage.
Cabbage may be kept by any mode
which nearly excludes the frost, pre
serves a cool temperature, and a slight
degree of moisture. A pile resting on
the earth would keep better than If
resting on a floor, and would require
less protection. It would be likely
thus to receive a proper degree of
moisture. A common way to keep
cabbage by the quantity is to leave
them out in the ground until near
the end of November, and then pull
and place them Inverted on smooth
ground, packed closely togothcr In
beds five or six feet wide, with six
feet spaces between. They mav be
thus left till the ground Is about to
freeze, when tho earth between tho
rows, is dug and placed as covering
on the Inverted heads, about bIx Inche j
thick, the tips of the roots projecting
above. With lees labor, the spaces
may be plowed and harrowed until
the earth Is Tine and mellow beforo
it is placed on the cabbage, tlio plow
throwing the earth nearest to them
upon the heads. With this treatment,
the work must be done earlier than
by band In order to have the soil
in right condition and it is always
best to cover them up as late aa
practicable. It is important, thnt tho
ground has very thorough drainage.
A great many regard It as of great
importance to plow tho earth many
times, making It mellow two feet
doep In forming a trench or hollow
to place them in; then the mellow
earth is thrown against the beads with
the plow. Tho frost cannot penetrate
the mellow catith. If the work Is douo
before very cold weather sets in
the central part of the row may be
left nearly uncovered, and when freez
ing commences, the whole covered
with the mellow Roll. For early win
ter use. cabbage mny be stored In
cold cellars packed in largo boxes, of
damp moss; or they may bo Rot In
their natural position In low boxes
filled with earth, dnmp moss, damp
RiiwdUKt, or placed In henps out of
doors, end covered with a foot of

Pcing horn and raised In the heart
of the range west of Iho Rocky moun
tains, nnd having observed from year
to year the destruction of the feed
upon theso ranges by tho immense
herds of cattle, sheep and horses, I am
coPKtralnetl to write a word regarding
this destruction. Twenty-five years
ago the valleys and mountains of
Idaho, Nevada nnd Utah were waving
with rich firaraes, enough .being pro
duced every year to feed more head of
rattle tltrtn bun ever been grazed on
It In nny five years, providing It had
been fed as Block Is fed on any good
farm. We r.inmit term It destruction
where grass Ig consumed by the stock
turned Into beef, mutton or horseflesh,
but when the graws Is enten nnd the
roots trodden out and the ground left
barren It Is dent met Ion. I have on
solved that cattle will graze on a
range f:-nm year to year and there will
be little damage done to the roots of
the grass, but with horses and sheep
It Is not the case. Horses cnt the
(anas to the very rootB, exposing them
to the hot sun, nnd the roots die.
Sheep do not eat grass when they
ran get weeds thnt they like, but woe
to the range that they traverse. As
I write I look upon Mount Cuddy and
see great clcuds of dust rising. If
you could bo transported to tho scene
on tho mountain side you would 'nee
some 2000 sheep in a drove traveling
along the mountain in thp cool of the
morning eating their breakfast. They
nip a llttlo on this bush nnd a little
cn that one, while under their feet Is
being trodden the rich grasses, which
they seldom touch. ThlB brand of
Bheep will tramp and uproot the grasa
until It becomes too hot to travel, then
they will tnke refuge beneath the
brush nnd trees until evening, when
they will again begin their march of
destruction, trending out thousands of
acres of grass during one summer.
This has gone on from year to year,
until now the mountain and valleys
ol the far west He brown and barren
In the scorching sun. Not even a
shpcp can exist In many of these once
beautiful grassy plains. F. h. Feath

Anplns on tile Tree.
The risk which speculators and
dealers are willing to take In buying
apples on the trues nnd attending to
the harvesting and selling themselves
not Infrequently proves a great boon
to the grower. In large apple-growing
regions It Is rapidly becoming the cus
tom for farmers to sell their apples In
this way, and if one Btudles the ques
tion of values, and knows how to cal
culate tho worth of his fruit on the
trees, it is a good thing to dispose of
the apples In this way. Tho purchas
ing companies are generally able to
make better arrangements for trans
portation with tho railroad companies
than the individual farmer, and they
also employ a small army of expert
pickers and packers who accompany
them from one orchard to another.
They can consequently pick and pack
apples at less expense than the farm
er who must depend upon whatever
help he can secure in the harvest sea
son. More than this, the speculators
who buy tho applas on the trees know
better how to distribute tho products.
The apples aro carefully sorted by
them In different grades. It might
prove a iweful lesson to any grower
to study their methods. First, there
come the choice apples for export or
the fancy city trade. Theso are select
ed with the greatest care and packed
carefully, often being wrapped In in
dividual tissue paper. For a barrel of
such apples a packer told me he ex
pected to receive $5 and $C in ordinary
times. Very lew farmers could securo
wuch prices. The demand is, of courso,
limited, and tho purchasers are hard
to find by the average shipper. It Is
the experience of the men who make
a business of handling the. apple crop
that helps them to securo these ex
traordinary prices.
The next grade of fruit Is ordinary
prime, which usually represents the
grado callod fancy In the ordinary
market. These apples are also care
fully picked and packed, but not
wrapped In paper. They command nil
the way from $3 to $4 per barrel. Then
below them are the good nnd choice
fruitH, which sell for about $3 a barrel.
In markets when npples sre scarce,
these speculators ship another grade,
which pajacs ns common to ordinary,
and they may sell from $1.C0 to $2.50
per barrel, according to market condi
tions. Anything below these aro
packed up any way and shipped to
some factory, where tho apples are
dried, end tho poor sorts ma.1o Into
Jelly. Sometimes the largo apple spec
ulators have their own canning, dry
ing and Jelly factories, which they
keep running with the frult3 they can
not dispose of satlafactorlly In the
mnrkct. In this way there is no
waste. Every apple Is quickly sent to
market or tho factory when the farm
er would Iobo.
They can and often do pny more for
the fruit on tho trees than the grower
could get for It. if he pickod. parked
end shipped it himself; -jut as said In
the beginning, one must know the val
ue of his applea on tho trees. Tho
apple speculators are not offering
more money for tho fruit than tntjr
are worth; It Is for tho grower to find
this out. 8. W. Chambers, In Ameri

ThW Ignornnee, for which the tax

I.nsl December It established In Iho
Ituremi of Chemistry of Hie Agricul

Is to test Fiimples sent It unit deter

termine which will give the best re

and temperature obtaining there.
This laboratory, which Is under
charge of Mr. 1 W. Page, of Massa
chusetts, began work without n tool
or machine and without tin appropria
tion, this last becoming nvallnble only
on July 1 last, six months after the
olllee was opened. Until now It hns
rather discouraged publicity, as It al
ready hns more work on band than It
an nttentl to with tho very limited
forces nt Its disposal. Hereafter It
hopes to do better.
All material sent In Is tested for
nlirnsltin. cementation ami toughness,
nntl will be tested for hardness ns
soon ns the proper machines enn be
built. The nectiriite determination of
hanliiesii, however. Is of far less Im
portance than that of tho other quali
ties named.
The alinislon lest determine to what
extent n given material will be worn
n way by a given amount of rubblns,
grinding, shaking together, ami so on.
It Is ohtnliK-d by placing fragments of
uniform size In n cylinder, where they
are agltateil by machinery nt a rate
which ordinarily is not sufllelent to
break them, ami then ascertaining the
a mount In which they are reduced
In slxe. The cementation test Is
to discover the adhesive power of
the dust ground from the substance
and cemented together by rain nnd by
the rolling or trampling of the road.
It Is obtained by subjecting little cy
linders, formed by mixing the dust
with distilled water, to the continual
blows of n weight fnlling through n
fixed distance; some substances will
be shalered nt once, but others will
sustain as ninny ns 2M0D exactly simi
lar blows before fulling to pieces. This
shows the ability of the material to
repair Itself when put on a rontl.
Toughness Is tested by the sumo ma
chine, n cylinder of the mnterlal ns It
originally exists being subjected to the
blows of a cylinder made up by mix
ing water with Its dust. It shows the
resisting power of the mnterinl to the
constant blows of wheels and horses'
feet.
At present the laboratory refuses to
test materials Intended for any pur
pose except country road building.
After a while, when a larger force Is
obtained, It will test those Intended for
fences, houses nnd the like, nnd those
artificial stones manufactured In such
enormous quantities for city uses, such
as paveineuts, roadways and all the
thousand nnd one ends to which con
crete Is now applied, Tho value of
