a mast and boom of a ship. At the
ends of this delicately balanced hori

the boom llaelf. This crosses a simi

of a box which contains a slowly
traveling ribbon of sensitive photo
graphic paper, and by means of a
lamp and mirror a beam of lit; lit is
sent through the crossed sills onto
the paper fcelcw. So long as the boom
remains perfectly still tho record
traced on the paper by the light takes
the form of a continuous line; but
when the delicate rod Is eaunod to
vibrate the line Is interrupted by lat

The large mutton breeds of sheep
ore gradually illtplaclng the merino
breed, and farmeis are finding out that
th"re la something more to be derived
from shep than wool. If low prices
lor wool have tanned fanners to turn
their attention to the large bleeds the
apparent misfortune will In the fu
ture be looked upon as a blessing. The
Knglinh farmer would consider It a
waste of time and labor to keep a
flock of sbeep for wool only. The
mutton sold in the English nmrket Is
of the highest qunllly, and Is produced
an lands that rent for more than the
same area of land can be purchased
for In thN country, yet the English
farmer regards sheep a very profita
ble. Kerplng 1'p Soil I ertllltT.
Out of the soil comt'S directly or In
directly the world's food supply. When
this Is realized, the Importance of
keeping up the fertility of the land
is nppaient. Some believe that rota
tion of crops, seeding down to clover
occasionally, will bring back the vir
gin fertility of Illinois and other prai
rie lands. The addition of fertilizing
materal will undoubtedly he of great
help, but this of course Is limited by
the cost. The question arises as to
what has become of the black l'.m soil
which CO yeais ago covered all this
central west region. I believe the ex
planation lies In the fact that of the
tillable land in the United States one
half consists of hills and rolling terri
toiy, while the other is valley land
and river plains. When these elevat
ed areas are cultivated, the rich soil
is washed off the highest points by
heavy rains and deposited In the val
leys, wheie tall plowing Is practised.
This wabhlng or transfer of soil Is
carried on throughout the entire win
ter. Some of the black loom Is washed
Into the large creeks and rivers, but
the most of It finds lodgment nt the
foot of bills and knolls.
What can be done to prevent this
uneven dlstiibiition of rich Roll? We
cannot dejiend upon clover olotie, for
In addition to the -uncertainty of gel
ting a good can h, the crop freezes
out badly during a cold winter. Nei
ther can we depend upon stuble ma
rine alone, oo tin percent of the farm
ers do not accumulate enough In one
year to rover five acies. Cover cropo
should be sown In order to prevent
washing, and fall plowing on exposed
hillsides should be avoided. Some one
has suggested that the spreading of
this deposited soil from the valleys on
tho exposed uplands would be more
than equivalent to a heavy applica
tion of manure or several crops of clo
ver. This could be done to a limited
extent at any late, by means of wheel
scrapers. One man and team ought to
cover half an acre a day six inches
deep, provided he did not have to
haul it too far. I believe the time will
come when machinery will be availa
ble for doing Just this kind of work.
It seems to me that an outfit could be
built for this exclusively. It would
go from one place to another Just as
threshers now work for different farm
ers In a neighborhood. It may be years
before this is accomplished, but I be
lieve that it will come and that It Is
lie cheapest method of fertilizing
washy soils. C. W. Allen, In Ameri

Farmers seldom have any difficulty
In killing their birds painlessly, but
amaieurs sometimes find the operation
a difficult matter. It should bo per
formed humanely and mercifully,
though an Ignorant operator may uuin
tentlonlly be guilty of cruelty. An at
tempt to wring the neck has been
known to end in the head of the bird
being twisted round and round, the
result being that it comes to life again.
Wringing the neck Is one of the most
painless ways of killing a fowl, and
with rare, this should not be difficult.
The fowl must be held firmly by the
legs with the left hand, while the bead
Is grasped with the right band, while
the head is grasped with the right
hand with the thumb and fingers round
the thioat The bird Is then placed
across the knees, breast downward,
with the neck hold over the right
knee. The neck Is then quickly and
firmly held extended .and the head
bent back suddenly with some force.
Ttv this mcana the neck should be
.located Just below the Junction with
the head. Another humane way of
killing is o old the fowl by the legs
with . dead hanging down and
strike sharp blow with a thick stick
-loss the back of the bead. A sim
ple and effectual method is to hold the
(fowl firmly by the neck with tho hand
and swlna, the bird round, holding
the neck tightly, when the weight of
the fowl breaks the neck.
Chickens intended for market should
not be offered for sale in a rough and
unprepared state, or they will not real
ize the best piiees. All the details of
killing, plucking and shaping must be
carefully attended to. The birds oight
to be kept without food for at least
18 hours before killing to empty the
crop, otherwise the undigested food
may sour and taint the carcass. pluck
the birds while still warm. The fea
thers are then more easily pulled out
and there is less risk of tearing the
Klin.
In some sections It In customary to
hove the feathers on the wings. The
shaping also varies somewhat, accord
ing to the locality. As a rule picking
Is started by pulling out the feathers
In tho wings. Then the fowl Is placed
tin the breast and the feathers re
moved, beginning at the stern ' anil
working to the neck. The bird Is next
turned on Its back, the legs and tall
feathers nre plucked, and then tho
breust to the middle of the throat.
Ducks ore usually killed by thrusting
a knife through the roof of the mouth
Into the brain. A usual mode of kill
ing geese is to strike them a blow at
the back of the neck and run a sharp
pointed knife Into the hollow at the
junction of the head and neck. Tur
keys are killed by thrusting a knife
through the roof the wings being
crossed to prevent struggling. Fowls
must be bled also when killed A. V.

The clover plant Is one of the most
valuable that Is within the power of
the furmer to grow, and It also enrich
es him even when the clover Is sold
off the farm, because there remains
In the roots left In the soil a large
proportion of nitrogen which was
gained from the atmosphere. So great
Is the gain to the farm when the entire
crop Is fed and returned to the innd
thut but few farmers realize the largo
Increase In that dliectlon. An ex
perimenter, who took clover roots
from the soil to the depth of four feet,
and also from plots to the depth of two
feet, of both the common red and mam
moth varieties, of one year's growth,
found nearly as much nitrogen at the
depth of two feet as when the roots
were taken from four feet, thus dem
oustartlng that the roots of clover,
while golug down deep Into the soil,
do not go below the reach of plants
which follow the clover crop, and even
when tho clover Is seeded In June and
left until the next October there Is a
large addition to the supply of nitro
gen In the soil. As farmers must pro
vldb nitrogen for all cereal crops,
while clover gives them nitrogen In
stead of demanding that material,
there is a great saving In expense,
which is an item of profit as well as
the crop. The most costly of all fer
tilizers Is nitrogen, and when the farm
er can "grow his nitrogen," as Is
really done with clover, Us Importance
as a renovating crop cannot be over
estimated. As the red voilety Is more extensive
ly grown In this sedon than any oth
er it Is well known, and as much as
four tons of clover hay per acre may
be credited to some forms under fav
ornblo conditions, but In tho experl
ineiitH made, the clover being seeded
in July and the crop (stems, leavea
and roots) collected In October In tho
same year, there were about 4 3-4 tons
of stems and leaves and a little less
than 2 3-4 tons of roots per acre, of
gieen material, which ts not a large
quantity of green clover, but Is sufll
clent to show what Is left In. the soil
ns nitrogen. Tho stems and leaves
contained 7U pounds of nitrogen, val
ued at $10.50 (at 15 cents per pound),
while the roots left In the ground to
the depth of two feet contain 47 pounds
of nitrogen worth $7.03, the total
amount of nitrogen In the crop being
117 pounr.s, valued at $17.55. Hed
clover, seeded In May and cut In Oc
tober of the Bame year, ptoduced over
tlve tons of stems and leuves and over
three tons of roots, tho total amount
of nitrogen being 130 pounds. The
mammoth red clover, seeded In April
and cut in May of the following year,
produced 10 tons of stems and leaves
and over 5 1-2 tons of loots per acre,
the total amo;int of nitrogen being
1",0 pounds. The tests were made to
determine the manuiial value of clo
ver, and the time was but little over
o:ie year, the iuctease of nitrogen be
ing much more than would bo sup
posed by farmers who grow the crop
for hay rather than for the purpose
of improving the soil.
What would attract attention In a
clover crop Is the amount, of nitrogen
in tho roots left In the soil after the
crop is taken off. The former may sell
his hay or feed the crop on the farm,
as preferred, but he still has left the
nitrogen which he gained by simply
growing tho clover. The roots, there
fore, may be claimed as a portion of
the crop and the profit, and should be
Included In the accounts as such. In
one case CO pounds of roots remained
In the soil, valued at nine dollars,
which represented so much plant food
waiting to be utilized the next season,
aud which differed from that usually
uupplied from the fact that the farmer
did not have to Invest any capital
the next season for tho nitrogenous
fertilizer, S3 he had his nitrogen ready
stored In the soil for his use. Any
furm that con bo brought to Hint con
dition, as the farmer has but to sup
tily the cheaper mineral fcrtilfzcrs in
order to balance the plant food. The
profits of farming do not deyc.id upon
the prices realized compared with the
amount of material removed from the
.laud, tho real wealth and capital of tin
farmer being his soil, aud w hen he can
sell something from the land which
provided him with more than he tosk
from It In tho form of a crop he Is
sure to become prosperous In a few
years. Philadelphia Record.

Col. J. M. Drennan relates an In
cident ot his recent fishing trip at
Moosehead which presents a story to
rank with both the tale of Orpheus and
that of lioblnson Crusoe fiddling to
his goats. Col. and Mrs. Drc.inan
forsook the sport of trout-catching for
a time and grossed the lake to the Mas
termun furm, on the weal shore, where
Col. Drennan had been told the deer
came to Iced every evening.
Camping near the Masternian place
was Mr. I.ougeo, a well-known violin
ist and leader of an orchestra In liun
gor. Col. Drennan suggested to the
musician that he steal out to the edge
of the garden plot and treat tho deer
to a few airs on the violin, Just for
the fun of noting tho effect.
The next evening Mr. Lougee hid
under the cover of a few branches and
waited for the deer to make on appear
ance. Pielty soon a big buck pushed
through the folioge and began to feed.
The musician flushed off "Old Zip
Coon," ".Money Musk" and several qf
the popular airs of the day.
The music was played softly at first.
At the sound of the first few measures
the effect on the deer was magical. He
stopped In his feeding and became the
soul of attention. His head rose Blow
ly into the air and his wholo body
seemed to expend till he had struck
one of bis stately attitudes that one
notes In Landseer's pictures. The mu
sic was a mystery to hlin and held him
spellbound.
Finally the measures of a march
were sent gliding off the strings. The
deer became the soul of stately action
at once. With a loftier polso on his
lieud and antlers thrown back he
inarched ubout the imiosure with a
grace thut would surpass the perform
ance of the most accoinplluhed high
stepper In a horse show. At times ho
would stop to show his approbation
and bilng his sharp hoofs down to the
earth in a forcible way. , Then he
would go on with tho march. '
It was the march that pleased the
deer evidently, for he was more than
pleased to trip off Its measures. But
when "She May Have Seen Bettor
Days" or some other of the latter
day airs were played the deer Bhowed
his disdain by clearing the opening
with a big bound and making away to

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which Is so essential ta their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the Internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy Itself free front
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
wcll-ln formed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and Its beneficial effects, is
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it Is the only laxative which should
be tid by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs Is the only remedy which -acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping-, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
g-ontle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality Is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please

GERMANY'S MEAT INSPECTION.
The New Law That Is Now In Forco
There.
On April 1, 19(i3. Germany's new
meat Inspection law goes Into effect,
necessitating tho erection of many
new buildings for use as Inspection
Ktntlons. etc.. and among the experts
employed will bo nilcroscoplsts, vet
erinary surgeons and chemists, en
tailing a preparatory expense that
gives the law a stamp of permnneney.
It Is believed thnt the Inspection will
materially retard tho Importation of
meats, which amounted to ovor $7,
OfMl.ooo In value last year. It Is re
ported that butcher's associations
have within the past two months held
many meetings to devise means of
stopping the continual decrease in the
supply of live stock available for their
use. The sale of fresh meat to the
laboring classes Is steadily decreasing,
which accounts for the gain ot over
$1,200,000 In tho importation of fresh
and smoked fish last year, as com
pared with 1900.
The London Crowd.
One of the things that most im
pressed General Wood was the sto
lidity of the London crowds. They
disappointed him. He heard so much
of "Urltlsh cheers" that he expected
to 83 all American outbursts thrown
Into the shade. Instead of that he
found less show of enthusiasm, even
when the King and Queen rode
through tha city, than may be met
with any day In tho States at a base
ball match. This Is a comment which
American visitors often make, and
not without reason. The London
crowd Is more hearty and vociferous
than the French or German crowd,
but compared with an American
gathering on any big occasion, a po
litical meeting, for instance, a civic
welcome to a victorious admiral, or
a 'varsity football match, it as Aber
waterfall to Niagara. On the other
hand, It Is claimed that Americans
do not really cheer; they yell. Lon
