Electricity Kills Insects.
The Elektrotechnische Zeitschrift
(Berlin) announces that it has receiv
ed from M. Lokuzejewski the descrip
tion of an apparatua for the destruc
tion of insects, of their larvae, and of
caterpillars, the apparatus having re
cently been presented to the Odessa
Technical society. Under a wagon
drawn by horses or run by an alcohol
motor there is placed a small dynamo.
This dynamo is moved by a system of
gearing placed on the axle of the ve
hicle, the dynamo being connected
with an induction coil in front of
which is placed a Wehnelt interrup
ter. The negative pole of the induc
tion coil is connected with the iron
framework of the vehicle, that is con
nected with a series of metallic
brooms placed behind and under the
wagon. These brooms may be moved
in a vertical direction, and as they
give forth a large shower of sparks,
any insect within the range of the
broom is destroyed. The wagon should
follow immediately behind the plow,
as the latter, by opening the earth,
brings to light insects and larvae.
Feeder for Stock.
One of the disagreeable tasks in re
lation to the care of horses, cows or
other cattle is the necessity of arising
early and supplying them with feed.
This is especially true with milk deal
ers, bakers and many others who are
compelled to get up an hour or two
before serving their route in order to
feed their horses. This is also the
case on Sundays with all drivers of
teams. Automatic time stock feeders
are not new to the trades, by any
means, but few are as simple as the
one shown in the illustration. This
is so constructed that the feed may be

automatically released at a predeter
mined moment by attachment to an
alarm clock and fed into a trough or
manger.
A chute, through which the food is
to be passed, is shown in the illustra
tion, with a hinged door at right an
gles to the inner wall thereof, the door
being connected with an arm which
projects through the wall of the chute.
This arm is fastened to a spring held
to a pin in the outer wall of the chute.
A bracket supports a clock upon the
other side of the chute, the clock hav
ing an alarm attachment. The key
which winds the alarm apparatus is
connected to a spring-pressed bolt
which is mounted in the wall of the
chute and designed to support the
hinged door when the same is weight
ed down with food. As the clock runs
down the cord withdraws the bolt, and
when the proper time is reached the
door is released and the food falls
down to the manger. After the door
is relieved of its weight the spring
will cause it to resume its normal po
sition. This would also be very useful
in large establishments.

Would Exterminate Rats.
Unremitting warfare against rats is
advocated by Sir James Crichton
Browne, who says that people now
adays are living under sanitary condi
tions which will seem as shocking and
wiong to their descendants 200 years
hence as conditions that obtained two
centuries ago appear now. In advo
cating a crusade against rats, as the
great carriers of disease, Sir James
suggests a new form of relaxation.
“We have with us,” he says, "lots of
gilded youths whose time hang:, heavy
on their hands, and who might vary
their amusements by rat-catching,
which must be quite as exciting ahd
elevating as pigeon shooting. If the
sporting papers would give a descrip
tion of the battues and reports of the
bags, with odds on the favorite rat
catchers and portraits of the record
breakers, those pernicious little ro
dents would soon become scarce—un
less, indeed, enthusiasts should take
to breeding and laying them down as
we do pheasants. Great things may
be expected when sport, fashion and
sanitation join hands in rat-catching.”
Seismographs on Railways.
An indication of the swift progress
of the Japanese mind in practical sci
ence is afforded by Doctor Omori’s re
cent report on the measurement of
the vibrations of railway carriages by
means of seismographs. The primary
purpose of the seismograph is to
measure the oscillations of earth
quakes. Japanese engineers use it for
determining the proper balance of
locomotives and the state of the per
manent way on railways. Many prac
tical advantages In the saving of fuel
and the detection of faults in con
struction have thus resulted.
The Harm of Flashlights.
The New York Medical Record calls
attention to the injurious effects of
flashlight advertising signs whicn
show a brilliant light every few sec
onds. “The effect of this alteration
of light and darkness is most trying,
not only to the eyes of the passers
by, but also and especially to residents
in the neighborhood whose windows
look out on the signs. One may sleep
in a bright light or in darkness, but no
nerves can stand the strain of a mo
mentary illumination of the sleeping
.apartment recurring several times a
minute.”

GROUND FLOOR OF BARN.
Plan Provides for Much Accommoda*
tion Within Small Space.
F. M.—I have bought timber for a
barn 30 by 52 feet with an L for a
straw' shed, 20 by 30 feet. I would
like to know how 2 could lay out the
basement to accommodate 10 or 12
head of cattle, a root house, a pen for
small pigs, two or three stalls, and a
box stall for horses. The bents are
as follows: 20 feet for large mow;
14 feet drive floor, and 18 feet mow
and granary over horses. I do not
intend to close in under the straw
shed. I would like to arrange so as
to have cow and horse stable door
under the shed. The barn will run
east and west, with shed on the east
end.
The accompanying plan provides
for 8 single cow stalls; 3 single horse
stalls; tw'o box stalls, one of which

manure may be removed direct from

Pump Not Working Well.
J. L. McD.—A well 34 feet deep
contains 12 feet of water. A pipe
inches in diameter leads from the
well to the stable, a distance of 110
feet, with a fall .of 3 feet. After the
pump has been idle for a time one
has to pump about eighty strokes be
fore water comes. What is w’rong
with the pump?
In this instance it appears that
either the cylinder is too small or too
high in the wheel or that the valve
is loose in the cylinder and leaking
air. If the latter is the case, the pipe
empties after each operation, and the
whole has to be refilled with a loose
valve, which accounts for the large
number of strokes necessary. If the
cylinder is too small, it would require
a large number of strokes to bring
the water up to that point in the well,
and if it were too high up, especially
with a loose valve, it would have the
same result. I should recommend
the examination of the valve as the
most probable cause of the difficulty.

Transplanting Bearing Apple Trees.
Sub.—What is the best time of year
to transplant apple trees that have
been bearing about four years?
The best time to transplant apple
trees is early in the spring, as soon
as the soil is dry enough. I fear, how
ever. that to transplant apple trees
which have been bearing for four
years w’ould not be a very successful
undertaking and 1 would not advise
doing so. It would be much better to
leave the trees where they are, even
if it were necessary to use the ground
about them for something else, and to
plant young trees on the spot intended
for these bearing ones. If, however, it
is determined to transplant the trees
at any cost, the work should be ver^
carefully done and as many roots as
possible kept on. The trees should be
headed back severely, at least tw-;
years’ growth being taken off all
round the tree.—M.
Transplanting Rhubarb.
L. A. G.—What is the best time to
transplant rhubarb which was grown
from seed sown last spring?
Rhubarb may be transplanted at
any time after the leaves die down in
the fall; but with young seedlings 1
should advise you to wait until spring
to move them. There is danger of
small roots being thrown above the
ground by the action of frost, and if
planted this fall they might have to be
set again in the spring. Prepare your
ground this fall by plowing under well
retted manure; or, still better, plow
out trenches four feet apart. Fill the
trenches to within Six inches of the
top with manure, throw in two inches
ol' fine dirt and set the plants having
them three feet apart in the rows.
Mulch each fall with manure, /which
should be forked around the plant?

Power from Water Pressure.
W. H. C.—How much power can I
get from 50 feet of a fall of water
running through a 2-inch pipe? The
spring is about 22 rods from the house.
The amount of power supplied in
this instance is so trifling as not to
be worth considering. The distance,
22 or 23 rods, together with a small
size of pipe, reduces the original head
of fifty feet so materially that the
power available is only one-seventy
flfth of a horse power.
Troublesome Lilac Bush.
L. W.—How can I get rid of a lilac
bush. We cut It down a year or two
ago and now it has grown up and is
spreading all over the yard?
There is no way of getting rid of
the lilac except by digging it out. If
the main clumps are dug out there
will be little trouble in getting rid ol
the smaller ones if they are dug up
during the summer and new shoot*
are hoed off as they appear.

BIT OF RUSSIA* FATALISM.
Lesson from Recent Destruction of
Torpedo Destroyer.
The light-hearted manner in which
the commander of the Russian des
troyer Rastoropny blew up his boat
at Chefoo after bringing dispatches
frcm Port Arthur was quite in har
mony with Russian naval procedure.
Two Japanese torpedo boats were
waiting outside the harbor, and so.
after gallantly running the gauntlet of
an entire fleet in order to reach Che
foo, he destroyed his ship.
An American or an Englishman
would have done his best to escape.
A Frenchman would have undertaken
to fight his way out, and if defeated
have gone down with his colors fly
ing. A German in the last resort
would have prudently opened the sea
cocks. He would not have blown up
his ship in a neutral harbor.
But to the Russian none of these
things seemed worth while. What is
a destroyer more or less in the des
tiny of an empire? Why go to so
much bother to save it?—New York

Ministers Gather in Cafe.
Every Monday afternoon about 4
o’clock a group of Lutheran ministers
meet in a quiet cafe near the New
York postoffice and discuss parishional
affairs, meanwhile decorously sipping
a glass or two of lager, and maybe
smoking a cigar. Dr. Richter, pastor
of St. Peter’s German Evangelical
church in the Bronx, is a regular at
tendant at these gatherings, which
last for an hour or two each week.
The doctor has six strapping sons,
but he does not think any of them will
go into the ministry, there being no
inducement in this country, he says,
for a young man to take up the pro
fession. He wants them all to be
come farmers.

Growth of the English Tongue.
To-day over 135,000,000 people speak
English. It has displaced French as

making great headway as the univer

America, South Africa, Liberia, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, Samoa, Hawaii,
most of Polynesia and various small
states have permanently adopted our
mother tongue, and there is every rea
son to believe that the 10,000,000 of
Filipinos wil be using it in the course
of time. With the construction of the

will probably yield to its influence to

counties, m no single instance did he
find that a woman, as in the olden

the dairy maid,” he writes, “is a na

man fresh from other work milking

CURE FOR BRIGHT’S DISEASE.
Important Medical Discovery Made by
Professor Ayres.
At the fifty-fifth meeting of the
American Medical association, Prof,
Ayres of the New York Post-Graduate
hospital is said to have "startled the
convention by the announcement that
he believed that Bright's disease, in
the early stages, at least, was cur
able.” His treatment consists in the
injection of drugs directly into the
kidneys. According to the newspapet
accounts, he has cured forty-three
cases, and out of ninety-three which
he has treated only one "failed to re
spond.” It is said by many that in the
early stages—rather an indefinite
phrase—of Bright's disease, a patient
can cure himself by a rigid devotion
to buttermilk. We have known at
least one man. a very brilliant man
who found this simple remedy worse
than the disease. After three months
of nothing but buttermilk, he £aid
that he preferred to die, and he died.

cure Mr. Thompson says:
“I was troubled with my kidneys
for more than two years and was
treated by two of the best doctors in
this part of the state. They claimed
I had Diabetes and there was little
to bo done for me. Then I started
to use Dodd’s Kidney Pills and what
they did for me was wonderful. It
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney
Pills that I am now enjoying good
health.”
Many doctors still maintain that
| Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes
is a kidney disease, and the kidney
disease that Dodd’s Kidney Pills will
not cure has yet to be discovered.

Every nousekeeper snould know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 oz.—one full
pound—while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
• 12-oz. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before ha puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch ha9
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyunce of the iron
■ticking. Defiance never sticks.
