One of the most remarkable pecu liarities of th lower orR.'inlfims, exhibited in bpp'Is and other vefretal lirwlles, is tlie fart that they are capa ble of withstanding rllslrat!oB for very connidernhle periods without U.s lnpr rapacity for permtnatlon and de velopment. The vitalized crystalloids and cololds which possess the power of assimilation and metabolism ap pear capable of having all uncom bined water removed by evaporation without undergoing molecular disrup tion by the loss of their combined water. They appear to retain the combined wnter murh as crystals re tain water of crystallization. If the ordinary drying of seeds, cortns. rhi zomes, bulbs, etc., does not destroy the integrity of their protoplasm or alter the availability of their stored-up albumin, starch, or sugar, it would appear that, they should retain all their nutritive value, and that the same Bhould hold true of most, If not all, vegetables used for food by man bs well as It does for forage crops pre served by drying. It Is curious that the desiccation of culinary vegetables should be so murh neglected nowa days in view of the universal use of dried fruits from prehistoric times and the practice of drying such vege tables as the pumpkin, In vogue among early New Knglanders, In evi dence of which the shiny pumpkin poles are still to he seen hnnglng on hooks in the celling in front of the fireplace of many an old homestead. Experiments made In Germany, and more recently in California, have de monstrated that desiccated vegetables suffer no loss of nutriment, and that they remain savory and wholesome. Ilere is a splendid opportunity for the utilization and conservation of pota .ocs, beets, parsnips, cabbnge, and the 'ike at the season of their greatest ibundance and In years of over-pro ductlon, whereby there may be added o the regular supply a line of familiar ?ood concentrated so as to admit of aconomlc transportation for army ra tions and for those who cannot afford such fresh vegetables out of season. While It may not pay to can such vegetables as we have mentioned, It would be a boon to many If they were put on the market dried. American Medicine. A Cheap Corn-Crib. Our engraving represents the plan for a corn-house, the patent upon which has expired. It Is Intended for use where large quantities of corn CROSS-SECTION OP CORN-CRIB, are raised, and where shoveling In and getting at the grain 1b of Import ance. As will be Been at a glance, portions of one side of therpof are hinged in such a way that upon driv ing beside the crib the load can be shoveled In at the roof, and the roof afterward made tight again. A cross section of the crib is shown. An in clined floor, and an inclined plate running the entire length of the crib, naturally lead it to the trough on the bottom, outside whence( it is taken by means of shovels or Bcoops. As fast as it is removed, that remaining In the crib takes Its place, the Inclines causing the grain to gravitate into the trough. The narrow incline regulates the flow of the corn, and prevents it from clogging while entering the trough. Bueh cribs can be made of slabs or of any cheap material, and are as useful as more expensive buildings In new countries where lumber is scarce. Of course they can not be as high as Eastern-made corn cribs if it Is expected to throw the corn In through the roof. Neither will tho cheap condition of the building warrant Its being erected to any great height, for it might thus catch the winds and be demolished. Cows should be dTled off in time to go dry from one to two months be fore coming In. Jerseys especially are difficult to dry off. Many of them. In spite of all efforts, keep up the flow of milk until the very day of calving Corn meal and other heating food should be withheld from cows for several weeks befoie calving, for fear of milk fever. There cannot be a good crop with out a good stand; and there cannot be a good stand without good seed seed that will do more than germinate: that will produce inherently vigorous plants as well.

C AYEK CO., for 1 OOCl ai: Ayers A8 TO BATHINQ. Don't Go In Cold Water with Weak Heart Host people believe that cramp la the most dangerous foe of the swim mer. I'eter 8. McNally the lonj dis tance swimmer says this is a Yery much mistaken notion. Apoplexy and heart trouble he says, are more to be feared when swimming than cramps and have been responsible for a great majority of cases of drowning. Of course, a cramp in the stomach would be dangerous, but it is rare. With an ordinary cramp in the arm or leg many swimmers become so ter- rilled that they make no effort to save themselves and sink before help can reach them. Rut Mr. McNnlly asserta that the majority of people who can swln who are drowned in the summer months at the seaside resorts lose their lives not because thoy are at tacked with cramps, but with a fit of apoplexy and heart failure. A man with any affection of the heart la lia ble to instant death if he stopa into cold water. One of the greatest dangers to sea side bathers, and one of the things that brings on apoplexy, Is the cool ing off process. Many people leave their dressing rooms and then wait on the sand, saying they will not go In until they have gut cooled off. If they are really overheated they should not go Into the water at all. The only safe tlmo to bathe la when the body Is ordinarily warm. Never go in to bathe unless your body Is In a glow. "Frequently," said Mr. McNally, "we hear that a drowning person has thrown up both hands and then sunk. This can't be so. Only an expert swimmer can throw up both hands while in the water. I mean throw up his hands so that people near can ee his arms out of the water. "A drowning man may sink fifty times and again come to the surface. There Is no such thing as the 'third and last' time. Children when drown ing will sometimes struggle in the water for twenty minutes. Some peo ple who are not strong enough to struggle Just sink once and that. i the Inst Been of them alive, for in that once that thoy go down they have swal lowed sufficient water to strangle them. A person who drowns Is prac tically strangled to death. Pome peo ple say that death by drowning la an easy death, and that the person drowning hears sweet music ani all that sort of thing. I never heard ot any one who was strangled having aa easy ending. "Now as to the way to handle a person who is in danger of drowning. We hear how many lifesavers work by punching the drowning person in the face, but such a blow would not stun a struggling person, because the person who strikes has nothing but the water to brace him for the bio, and where there is no resistance there can be no force. A person who is struck in this manner in the water is drifting and there is no resistance to the blow." The Immigration of Salmon. Te Fishery Board of Scotland nil experimented upon the migration ot salmon to determine if the fish re turn, year after year, to the lame river. A metal tag bearing a number is attached to specimens that are sub sequently freed. The last report of the board recites that twenty-four salmon so marked wrecaught dur ing the next season. Of these twenty four, nineteen were taken In the same river in which they had been set free during the preceding season; four were caught In waters close to their birthplace, and only one in distant waters. This latter specimen was tak en 5IM) miles away from the placa where it wrs set free in Norway.

The hand crank is removed and Its place sup plied by a small crank like that al ready on the other side. The two cranks are set opposite each other, so that one Is up when the other is down. Two treadles are hinged to the legs with one of the cranks by an iron pit man. A trestle Is made of scantling four Inches slnare, and adjusted to one end of the grindstone frame, at shown In the engraving. A piece of white wood plank ten Inches wide and eighteen Inches long is rounded at one end and its edges beveled to form a seat The other end Is cut down to the width of five and one-half lnchesi Cleats are nailed on the nnder side, four inches apart, to hold it on the trestle, upon which it slides freely back and forth. The forward end may - .i2 " SHARPENING TOOLS MADE EA9T. be used as a rest for tools which are being ground. The two treadles, working in combination with the seat, have proved highly satisfactory, as the operator can turn the stone with greater ease, and remain much stead ier than when running it with on treadle. Sheep and Calvta In Corn Fields. Weeds are likely to escape in the latter cultivation of the corn, and other weeds spring up after cultiva tion Is ended. It Is these weeds which foul the land for future years. The weeds in the corn field are neglected during the hurry of grain and hay harvest, threshing, hauling manure, and preparing the ground for wheat. But even better than is the scythe are the sheep. Let them have the run of the corn fields during the autumn, They like the shade of the rows. They will nibble off the lower blades of the corn, but this Is In no wise an Injury to the crop. The sheep will also find every weed and bunch of grass. Their scent is sharp, and they will discover weeds that would be overlooked. There are very few weeds Indeed that will not be cropped by sheep, especial ly of the Merino breed; they crop so close to the ground that the weeds will hardly start again. The spring calves. If not too strong, may well be put with the sheep. Unless unusually large, they will not damage the corn, and will get considerable feed which would otherwise be wasted. What the Bugs Cost. We keep an army of fin.000 men and have 24 ships of war. We are ready to fight 4ny nation on earth, and yet the little potato bugs laughs us to scorn. Ever hear of the big United States suffering with the grasshopper! Are we not powerlesa before the gypsy moth? The bug family taxes this great country $3ro,000,000 a year, hut In the unequal fight between the nation and the bugs the latter ever remain uncon quered. The worms that attack the cotton plant assess the farmer $'i0,000 a year. The potato bugs eat $8,000,000 worth annually out ot our gardens. The chinch bug costs us f 100,000,000, the Hessian fly f50.000.000, and the grasshopper !M),000,000. The big United States hasn't enough money or men to win any war with aa Insect Atchlnson, Kan. Globe. Close of the Honey Season. At the close of the honey season and especially if the bees have swarmed largely, we often find colo nies that are queenlesa, and all such are a bait for robbers. When they once begin to rob It Is a hard matter to stop them. In nearly every case there Is some neglect of the bee-keep er, and In most cases It occurs from the colony becoming queenless. While the honey season lasts bees do not seem Inclined to rob, but when the honey flow ceases there Is danger of robbing If there Is opportunity. It Is necessary to look after this matter, and supply every deficient colony with a fertile queen. If no queens are present for this purpose, a comb of brood may be Inserted from some other colony, and from this they can produce a queen of their own. Every farmer sou Id have plenty of grapes. Wherever there Is a side of a building or fence to which a Tine can be trained, plant a vine. Dwellers in towns and Tillages, who can find room for the roots of a vine, Bhould plant one; a place to train the "ine can easily be found. Newly pi j.id Tines should bear but one ihoot; rub out all others. As soon aa bearing vines show clusters of buds, pinch off the end of the shoot at the second or third leaf beyond the uppermost cluster. One good fruit is worth more than several poor ones. Whoever alms to have the finest fruit must thin, be ginning loon after the fruit Is set, and continuing until It Is nearly full grown ultimately removing three-fourths of all that set.

The dinner hour is a period when vn the ' morose and solf contained man enjoys the companionship of hlS fellows; there Is In fact no more es sentlal part of a dinner than a good talker. The digestive value of a lively discussion and plenty of laughter dur ing eating Is Insisted upon by every writer In dietetics. Indeed, many a hostess has Been an execrable meal, from the food stand point, transformed Into a flrnt-rata dinner by one or two loquacious Mark Tapleys, and she certainly deserves the envy of womankind If her hus band la one of these. Apropos of this well-known fact a prominent medical Journal dlscusRes the pathology of lonely dining. It seems that there Is a particular type of dyspepsia, especially prevalent among women, which Is due solely to solitary eating. Very many "home women" regularly lunch alono. fre quently elmply "pick up something," and drink a cup of tea. For some strange, apparently purely mental rea son, the food thus eaten Is not prop erly digested, and ultimately leads to a state of chronic Indigestion. This curious complaint Is called the indi gestion of loneliness. The first remedy recommended Is to stop eating alone; If thf. Is not feasi ble, however, a good book should he read during tbe meal, and the latter be preceded by plenty of outdoor ex ercise. Monument for Two Purposes. Among Andrew Carnegie's collec tion of anecdotes Illustrative of traits of Scottish character, one of the odd est Is as follows: Sir John Cave was in Glasgow In 1807, at a time when the populace had it In mind to honor Nelson with a monument. Sir John attended a public dinner one evening whereat the monument came In for a good deal of discussion, and many opinions were advanced as to the stylo of the Inscription that should grace the stone. Finally the visitor was asked to favor the company with his views on this matter. "I think." said Sir John, "that the style of the inscription should be em inently simple and plain. What I should put on the monument would be Just the words, "(ilasgow to Nel son. " "I agree with the gentleman," said an aged Scot, arising, "but I would make an addition. We all know that from the town of Glasgow to that of Nelson is six miles, and therefore I would affix to the monument, after the words Glasgow to Nelson, the ad dendum, 'six miles and then our monument would serve two pur poses." Bricks Full of Qold.
