THE FAltMEKS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN, NEli, THURSDAY , NOV. 12, 1891. THE FARM EE'S CGRKEK. VALUABLE FACTS AND HINTS FOR THE AGRICULTURALIST. Village Farming Hedge) Fencee Cross-bred , Fowls Waanlng Colts Feeding- ' Pumpkin to Hogs. Village) Farming. Mr. John W Bookwalter owns 60, 000 acres of land in Nebraska, and he proposes to undertake the establish ment of a modern Utopia upon it. mi 1 1 - 1 . " J.ne pian consists tn a colonization oi the farmers in a village that he will build,' and that will contain schools, churches, halls of entertainment, libraries, etc. He thinks the present farm life is one of privation, and he expects , to furnish his farmer colon ists with all the advantages of the towns. The practical farmer can see many obstacles in the way of a suc cessful working of this plan. It is, of course, slightly modeled after the European farming village, butthecon ditions in America, especially in the 'est, are not favorable to it. The American farmer, on relatively cheap land, and raising low-priced products, must work with machinery, and thus till large tracts. Under these circumstances very few 'could have farms '-lose enough to a proposed vil lage to permit of their making homes in it. Western farming is, and of necessity must be, on a rather exten sive scale that will not permit of a concentration of the people. In a country where land is higli because the demand for its products is great, small, tracts given up to vegetable farming, and furnishing more oppor tunity for labor than 50 times its ex tent in our Western land, adapted to grain farming, will permit village farm ing, but we predict its failure for the present in our country. Hedge Fences. Osage orange hedge fences are unde sirable. The weight of testimony is against them. Some farmers are still planting them, but for every such one there are five who are digging them out. For the first 10 years the, pros pect for a good fence is bright. It con tinues to thicken, and when well kept, is not too high to be easily trimmed. This is the case when the trimming has been done three or four times a year. But the stubs are left an inch or two longer at every trimming, and in time the old wood must be cut down a foot or twe, ard this is an exasperating piece of work. The trimming must be done each time just before the thorns harden, no matter how much other work presses. A little delay makes serious trouble. But all this could be endured if the hedge made a trust worthy fence. It gives fine promise, but soon after it reaches a condition of trustworthiness hog holes and breaks begin to appear in it. It re quires constant mending, and is never sale, it roDs tne ear in oi pianc iooa and becomes a nuisance. Notwith standing the work of uprooting a hedge fence, a very few possessors of hedges over 10 or 15 years old are willing to let them stand unless they are farmers who have ceased to trim them and are careless of the appear ance of their farms.' Other kinds of fences are more satisfactory every way. Cross-Bred Fowls. The poultry-Keeper says: "The fact that the cross-bred birds lay soft-shelled eggs is conclusive evidence that they are over-fat. It shows also that cross-bred birds are more liable i to take on fat than the pure breeds. Instead of rendering them delicate, it is evidence that they require less food, and that they have partially been changed from being prolific layers to meat producers. This tendency to take on fat by cross-bred birds is the cause of persistent setters, and we are confirmed by every experiment in out claim that when hens become fat they are more aptto become broody." If this authority is correct, it would appear that our farmers who keep liens for em are making a mistake in r I'rnsKinff rnmr hocks ns mum as is . common. When new ;blood is intro duced it should be from the same breed. All this may be usually true, but there are some cross-bred flocks that are great egg producers. Authorities agree that the variation in the color of the yolk of eggs is due neither to the breed of the hens nor their age, but to the coloring matter of the food consumed. The richness or the paleness of the color so often noted does not qualify any more than the annatto used to color butter indicates its quality. In times of drouth or late in the season, when plants lose their bright color, eggs have paler yolks. Clover or corn-fed liana rivtt nlonr.v nf rnlftr tn thpir ....... i j eggs. Feeding Pumpkins to Hogs. The National Stockman says: "The farmer who is so fortunate as to have a good supply of pumpkins h;:s a valuable food in them as a part ra tion for his fattening hogs. It is claimed by some that hogs will latten on them as their only food. We would not care to risk the statement so far as to undertake to fit a lot' of hogs for market with them. We would feed as many each day as the hogs would eat up clean and then give them all the corn they could consume besides. Young hogs with a ration of pumpkins each day will stand a much longer feeding of corn than they would if fed corn alone. It is a wasteful way of feeding, to throw out enough corn or pumpkins, or both at one time, to last the hogs two or three days. Their food should be given to them sweet and clean at least twice a day." Another plan of feeding pumpkins to hogs that has boen found to pro duce excellent results, is to begin early in the fall, when the fattening hogs are in the pasture lot; give them all they can eat as long as the supply lasts, then begin with the corn. Pumpkins alone will fatten hogs . quite rapidly, but the pork from such ( feeding is soft and undesirable, and needs a finishing with corn to make it first-class. Pumpkins am cheaper than corn- besides being a specially health-giving food, hence the lat and flesh added in the beginning is inor economically produced and the profits proportion ately increased. Usefulness of a Trotting Hons. A San Francisco paper informs its readers that a trotting horse is very useful outside the track, and asserts that "on the road he is great; on the farm he does the work of a mule, plow ing, harrowing and hauling heavy loads;" while in the cities "he pulls butcher carts, milk wagons, buggies, carriages, omnibuses and express wagons." Possibly the trotting horse can do the "work of a mule." He may be able to draw the plow and to haul heavy loads, - and draw omnibuses and express wagons, but it is certain if he does this kind of work he will soon be spoiled for trotting. A trott ing horse may be a fine roadster, but some of the very points which give him excellence in this direction manifestly unfit him for use on a farm, orfor any other heavy and long-continued work. We believe that, within certain limits, there is such a thing as a "general purpose" horse, but we do not be lieve that the lines can be spread far enoueh to include an animal that will also be adapted to perform general farm work or draw heavy loads over the city pavements. - French Way of Fattening Fowls. The writer has often been asked about the French method of stuffing birds in the forced fattening process which is in vogue somewhat in the east and might be worked just as pro fitably in Denver. The modus, oper andi is simple enough. There is an in strument consisting of a rod, a piston and a treader, with a long slender tube attached. ! The fowl that is to be fed is held by the machine, the tube is inserted down its gullet and a man turns the treadle with his foot. By this pedal movement the feeder is set in motion, and gently as a nurse would force a tonic down a sick man's throat, the stuff is inserted into the bird. All the time this cramming op eration is going on the fowls are kept in pens and no other kind of "vituals or drink" is given them. They wax fat on the treatment. By this pro cess the flesh of the fowl can be flav ored to any taste a customer desires, and it becomes as soft and sweet as a capon's. The result is more than anything else like the poularde of the French markets. Field and Farm. Weaning Colts. For weaning ' colts provide a good box stall large enough for a number to be weaned. Feed them in it for n week or more, so they will get used to it. See that their manners and feed boxes are in order before commencing, and provide a good vessel to hold water for the night, as it will require two or three gallons per head each night; A large iron kettle has rend ered good service in my barn. Cleanse the vessel once in every 24 hours, as colts prefer the water fresh and clean. Having lived mostly on liquid food for five months, then turning sudden ly to solid, the youngsters need some thing to moisten it. By having water within their reach they will drink little and often, which will do them more good than larger quantU ties farther apart. Confining a wean ling in his stall from four in the even ing until seven the next morning, or 15 hours, is too long to have them do well. Exchange. Straw. Farmers have been slow to learn that they cannot aflord to burn straw. IE it is not wanted for feed it should be rotted and returned to the soil. Its analysis does not show a high manurial value, as it contains much carbon that is not valued as a manure, but herein may we be led astray by the tables and theory. Its mechanical effect on all soils that are inclined to pack is great. It lightens and warms up the soil, and lets the air in to feed the roots. It is a good absorbent, and should be used freely in the stalls, when not wanted for feed. Return all straw to the soil either in form of animal manure or in its usual form after rotting. Cleanliness In the Dairy A creamery man writes: "Thechurn, butter worker and all utensils that come In contact with the butter should be washed first with hot water and soap and good soap, too, not com mon three-cents-a-bar rosin soap; this will take off all butter or grease, but will not thoroughly cleanse the uten sil on account of the oil or fatty sub stance in the soap itself, and .to over come this rinse with boiling water. Cold water alone will not dq, as it will cause a very small portion of the soap which has been dissolved in the suds to harden and remain on the utensil." Valuable Hints. Fowls and eggs are always in de mand. In preparing poultry for market dress as nicely as possible. Select the warmest place in the gardens where the drainage is good on the south side of a hill if you have such a thing, and plant your grapes there. Did you ever think that a weed was something of a blessing to some peo ple? It is. It compels them to do what they would not do but for weeds, cultivate the crop. Raw meat in moderation, chopped fine and fed about thrice a week will stimulate egg production. One pound of meat is sufficient for 15 hens. Some cook it, but raw meai is better by far. For any one wanting a white fowl of excellent laying qualitios the white Minorca will be sure to please. Like the white Leghorn they have their sep arate admirers and the qualities of each are more or less distinct. The man who believes and acts on his belief that cows should have no shade in the pasture so that they wont loose anytime from eating by laying in shade should, be compelled to eat a day bareheaded in the hot sun. For scalding poultry, the water should, be aB near the boiling as pos sible, without actually boiling; the bird, being held by the head and legs, should be immersed and lilted up and down in water thr ' Stnes; this makes picking easy. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. CLEVER AND INGENIOUS INVEN TIONS FOR MAN'S BRAIN. Mr. Edison's New Motor Opium as Tuberculosis . Curative- What a Modern Gun Can Do Ammonia En gines. Opium as a Tuberoulosls Curative. One of the latest of those experi mental remedies in cases of tuberculo sis has just been promulgated by Dr. John Gordon Dill, Assistant Physi cian to the Sussex County- Hospital, England. He suggests modified opium smoking and mentions several cases which have come under his personal observation where the treatment ha been used with considerable success. Dr Dill wishes it to be understood that he does not claim opium smoking to be in any sense a cure for consump tion, but simply that it is m valuable palliative which may be of service in the treatment of the disease.' Dr. Dill uses, as hetalls it, medicated tobacco. That is, the tobacco is soaked in a preparation containing all thecompo nent parts of opium in fluid form, about 50 per cent stronger than laud anum. The tobacco is dried .thor oughly before using. In advocating this mixture of opium he is fully alive to the danger which may result in prescribing the drug for medicinal purposes and upon this point ex presses himself as follows: "We certainly do not inject an un known poison into the system to work its wicked will, independent of our control, but, on the other hand, we maybe the means of introducing a moral poison, the terrible nature of which can only be realized by those who have hadthe painful task of try ing to cure a victim of the opium habit, and for this reason I have never allowed my patients to know what they are smoking, merely calling it medicated tobacco." The mixture was found to have its most efficient strength when one ounce of tobacco was saturated in three fluid drachms of the liquid. The pa tient was advised not to smoke just before eating. The most marked ef fects of opium smoking in this way are that it eases the cough and assists in expectoration. Dr. Dill is careful to say that he is not yet sufficiently prepared to drop any conclusions as to whether opium administered in this form has any specific effect upon the disease, although almost without ex ception tho patients who have made use of this ' treatment have thought that they derived great bene fit from it. Dr. Dill got his idea of employing opium from the Chinese, having ascer tained that in certain districts of that country where tuberculosis was ex tremely prevalent, theopium-smoking population were almost exempt from the malady, and this led him to try the effect of a mixture of opium and tobacco upon a number of his pa tients. Mr. Edison's New Motor. Much interest is shown among electrical experts regarding Thomas A. Edison's ideas and inventions in electric railroading, and especially in applying electricity as a motive power to street cars. When questioned on the subject T. C. Martin editor of tho Electrical Engineer, said: I note that Mr. Edison speaks of dispensing with overhead trolley wires and all direct connections be tween the electric motor and its source of current. It should not be forgot ten that as far back as 1880, at Men lo Park, Mr. Edison ran an electric railway which had no overhead wires. In other words, he carried the cur rent to the two rails of the track, one of the rails being thus mado positive and the other negative or "return." , The motor on the car was in multiple, bo to speak, between these rails. The car used to travel at a lively gait on : a three or four mile track. There are ' difficulties, however, in applying this j plan to a city street car track, for the reason that tne two raus mignt oe bridged electrically sometimes by other things than the passing car, and then there would be trouble. One way to obviate this is to throw the current into successive sections of the track by means of electro-magnetic devices operated by the car itself. Perhaps Mr. Edison is working in that direction. There is, however, another way of doing this thing, and it is not unlikely that Mr. Edison is looking at that al so. I mean the utilization of the alter nating current. If this current were used, it could be "picked up" induc tively, without any connection what ever with the track not even by the wheels and then could be "convert ed" for use in the motor on the car. This method is still in the future, but you will see it worked out as surely as the sun rises. On the whole, it is more likely that Mr. Edison, by way of re laxation from 50 other inventions, has been harking back to some of the schemes he tried on that historic old electric road at Menlo Park. New Lakes on Mars. There is one point of view from which the formation of a new lake in Southern California by the over flowing of a sandy desert with water from the Colorado River possesses peculiar interest. It may throw light upon some of the mysterious changes that have occurred upon the Mars. Near the equator of Mars there is a region which has been believed to be part dry land of that planet, and which has been named Lybia by the Italian astronomer Schiapar-elli- But a few years ago a change occur red in the color of "Lybia," and some of the observers thought that it must have been suddenly overflowed with water, since it had assumed the color characteristic of the other regions of Mars that are supposed to be water covered. Other similar changes have beeu seen by telescopists on Mars. Now that a uew lake has actually been formed on the earth by the un expected hllina up with water of a depressed area of dry land those who believe that a similar occurrence, on a larger scale, has taken place on Mars will probably be strengthened in that interesting opinion. Ammonia Engines. "Inventors" of ammonia engines are pretty sure to find plenty to ltstrtj to their schemes, as witness the fol lowing from The Press: J. II. Campbell, the inventor of the engine, said: "1 believe that the most skeptical engineer would acknowledge an economy in ammonia if lie were to pursue this course: Substitute water (or ammonia in the generator, and in all other ways work the- water steam just as we work the gas. The engine that is now making 100 revolutions and propelling this boat against the tide twelve miles per hour would then drop to fifty revolutions, and would make about four miles an hour. There is an economy in running an ammonia engine that is seldom thought of, that is, the readiness with which it accom modates itself to the different speeds of an engine or to the different loads.' Other than the economy of 50 per cent, of fuel, the advantages of the i ammonia engine are a saving of all the cylinder oil, 05 per cent, ot the water required for the boiler, a boiler always clean, no care as to the sup ply of water for the boiler, and great er comlort for the fireman, as rapid firing is not required." A New Frenoh Cruiser. The French cruiser "Coetlogon," which has just completed her official trials at Brest, is of the same type as the French cruisers "Surcouf" and "Forbin," and only a trifle smaller than the "Lalande "Troude." and "Cosmos," which have a displacement of 1,877 tons. In the trials which took place during the past fortnight she failed to quite reach her contract speed of 10 1-2 knots; but as she at tained a speed on the two hours' run of 19 3-10 knots with 124 revolutions she is to be accepted, subject to the penalty for not coming up to the stip ulated speed. Both the "Surcouf," which was built at Cherbourg, and the "Forbin," built at Rochefort, on their trials obtained ; considerably higher speeds, that of the formor being 20.51 knots with 133 revolutions, and that of the latter 20.63 with 13(1 revolutions. The "Coetlogon" has a length of 311 12 feet, a breadth of 30 1-2 feet, and a mean draught of 14 feet. Her displacement is 1,848 tons. It is wonderful, the amount of effort of the world that is given to building great war-ships whose purpose is to destroy something. A Singular Ootlcal Effect. A curious optical effect has recently been the subject of a note to the Academie des Sciences, Paris, by M. Mascart, the well-known physicist. When we look fixedly at a white back ground uniformly lighted and a black object, rapidly crosses the field of view, the background will appear darker in the rear of the object, and the end of the "shadow," as we may caii it, where the background recovers its true whiteness, is seen to be tinged with red. M. Mascart explains the effect by the established fact that the eye takes time to recover from the darkening due to the passage of the black object. There is a physiological retardation; and the red tinge is ac counted for by the eye being more sen sitive to the red or long waves of light than to the green. According to a rough estimate the retardations of th lumin6us impression is about l-25tb of a second, and the red rays are about 1-1 00th second in advance of the total radiance or white lightl What a Modern Gun Can Do. Unless one is actually brought into business relations with the great science of modern warfare, it is difficult to conceive of the terrible power of the latest and largest guns. These engines of destruction, weighing 110 tons, hurl u projectile of solid steel 10 inches in diameter and nearly 4 leec long at a velocity of 2,079 feet a second. When tested recently, one of these guns sent a shot through 20 inches of steel armor, 8 inches of iron, 20 feet of oak, 5 feet of granite, 11 feet of concrete, and 3 feet of buck. Comparatively, a locomotive weigh ine 200.000 pounds would have to spin along the tracks at a rate of 135 miles an hour to strike a blow equal to that proiectile. Think of the damage wrought in a railroad collis ion where the train speeds along at the rate of 30 miles an hour, and one may calculate the destructiveness of modern ordnance. Boston Traveler A Steel Chimney. In order to economize space and weight steel is being used for the con struction, at the Chicago Exhibition, of a chimney, which, when completed, will be 20ft. high, with an outside di ameter of 9ft. 5in. The steel varies in thickness from 5-22in. at tho top to 3-8in. at the bottom. The lower part of the chimney is lined with fire brick eicht inches deep, formed to fit the shell compactly all round. Above this hollow tile is used. The weight of a brick chimney of this size would be almost 700 tons, while in steel it will weigh, including the linings, a lit tle less than 250 tons. The outside diameter of the chimney is Oft. 5in., whereas had it been constructed of brick it would be 10ft. 6in., a great saving of space being thus effected. The Speed of Projectiles. The chronograph of Le Boulenge, which is used in the French Army for determining the speed of projectiles, is, with some modification by Captain Holden, R. A., being manufactured by Mr. Pitkin, 56, Red Lion-street, Clerk en well. There are two screens, at a distance from each other, and the pro jectile in traversing them cuts asunder an electric wire in each. The current of electricity being thereby stopped in these wires, two magnets in circuit al low two iron rods to fall. The seco-id rod actuates a knife which indentM he first, rod in its fall, and the posiuon of this mark gives the time the ball has taken to pass from one screen to the other. A New Propello.. A new way of propelling ships has been invented by Thomas Mills, of Charters Town, Queensland, and was recently brought before the Clyde shipbuilders by a demonstration with a model ship, nearly five feet long, on the St. Vincent Pond, Glasgow. Mr. Mills places the propellor at the bow, instead of the stern, and makes it conical, with a diameter nearly equal to the beam cf a ship. The blades ol the propellor are fixed at right angles to the surface and arranged spirally, They have thus a boring or auger action. The inventor proposes to apply the device to a large steamer.
