TOMBS OF SPANISH ROYALTY.
Most Gorgrcnn.t Itiirinl Vnulls Mar
ble KJISsrli'M of Children.
The Escurinl , in which for nearly
three centurirs the kings and queens
of Spain have been buried , is said to
be the most gorgeous burial vault in
the world , according to London Tit-
Bits.
It is an octagonal chamber , thirty-
six feel across , with its walls , save
where the collins stand , entirely over
laid with precious marbles. The stair
case which loads to it is of marble
with jasper walls. The general effect
is unspeakably splendid. In the midst
of this magnificence are the massive
black marble caskets let into the walls ,
continuing the bodies themselves. They
nre exactly alike , inscribed simply with
the names of the different kings and
queens. There is room for just six
more monarchs and their consorts.
Of another character altogether is
the vault devoted to Spain's royal chil-
flrcn princes and .princesses. Here
wliite marble rules , and very charming
are some of the efligics over the tombs.
The local name for the vault is "the
place of the little angels , " and though
many of the princes who lie here were
not at all angelic in their lives , the im-
prcssion left by the white marble wings
of the statues is one of spotless purity.
One unfortunate Spanish king , Don
Jamie II. of Aragon , is daily on view
in the Cathedral of Falma , in Majorca.-
The sacristan of the place takes you
to a yellow marble monument 4n the
choir , opens a cupboard and pulls out a
very ordinary coflin with a glass lid.
As poor Don Jamie died in the four
teenth century , he is not now at all a
lively spectacle. II is mummy is mud < >
gay , however , with imitation royal
robes cottony orniine. and so forth.

Domestic servants in ( Jermany come
under the law that obliges all persons-
below a certain income to provide for
their old age. The postollice issues
cards and stamps , and one of these
stamps must be dated and allixed to
the card every fonday. Sutaetimes
the employers buy the cards and stamps
and show them at the postotiicu each
month. Sometimes they expect the ser
vant to pay half the money required.
Women who go out by the day get their
stamps at the house they work in on
Mondays. If a girl marries she may
cease to insure and may have a sum
of money toward her outfit. In that
interest."J
But if she goes on Avith her insurance
she will have from 15 to 20 marks ( 3
to $4) ) a month from the state after

Bird dogs have been known as such
for only about three OP four centuries.
So far as we know , the Duke of North
umberland , sixteenth century , was the
first trainer of bird dogs. The duke
was followed by others who trained
dogs to "set" birds , but it was not till
the beginning of the nineteenth cen
tury that any reliable record of a dis

The value of this famous food is
shown in many -ways , in addition to
what might be expected from its chemi
cal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley , is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these cereals.
It contains also the phosphate of pot
ash grown in the grains , which Nature
uses to build up brain and nerve cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain aud nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
A VQ. mother found the value of
Grape-Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing li&'f
baby at the same time. She writes :
"After my baby came I did not TC-
cover health and strength , and the doc
tor said I could not nurse the baby ns
I did not have nourishment for her ,
besides I was too weak.
"lie snid I might try a change of
diet and see what that would do , and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. I
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both baby
and I.

is in fine condition , I am nursing her

I expect to build a dam 0:1 a creek
for a saw mill. Dam will be about
ICO feet long at top to raise the water
ten feet. 1. What would be the cheap
est way of building the damV 2. "Will
you give a plan of such a dam ? o.
Wihat size ot turbine would * be neces
sary to run -18-inch circular sawV
Ans. The accompanying sketch
shows a cross-section of the style of
iam that would be required for this
purpose. Dams are sometimes con
structed 'by ' a curbing of wood , mason
ry , or cement , the interior being filled
with dry stones. Such a dam is called
a rock-fill dam. If stone is plentiful ,
the dam i : ay be built entirely of ma
sonry. Tlie top should be laid either
with plank or cement.
As the illustration shows , the dam
is laid on bed-rock , the bed rock being
blasted out sufiiciently to secure a key
and a solid footing generally. With
a ten-foot dam the base should be" ten
feet wide. On the upstream side , the
batter or slope -of the dam is about 1
in 4 , and on the downstream side the
upper part of the batter is about 1 in 3
and the lower part 1 in 1. The dam
throughout its length should curve up
stream , so as to present a concave sur
face to the pressure of the water. The
masonry work should be constructed
of rubble with cement mortar , and all
the work should be very thoroughly
done.
A necessary provision in connection
with a dam is sufficient wasteway for
water not utilized for p'ower. The com
mon form of wasteway is a tunnel
through the dam sufficiently large to
provide for the maximum amount of
water that would be required to pass
through it. In addition sluice gates
should be provided , by which the How

f water would be controlled. The
waterto be utilized for power may be
carrie.d to the wheel by means of a
flume. A fifteen-inch turbine wheel
would provide from S to 10 horse pow
er , which would be sufficient to run a
saw of the size mentioned. Montreal

is not necessary to have a gutter in

form the rack , and should slope back

Cheiiiicnl Acioi of
Although cultivation is necessary and
will increase your crops , no matter how
much you cultivate , or how you labor ,
it should be remembered that the plant
food in the soil is the vital element of
crop production. The crop removes this
element , but by applying manure it is
put back again. Manure not only en
riches soil with the elements of fertil
ity , but also renders the stored plant
food of the soil more available , im
proves the chemical conditions , makes
the soil warmer and enables it to re
tain more moisture and to draw it up
? rom below.
Thorough Cultivation.
If the ground is cultivated often
enough no weeds can "grow , and if the
ground for a crop is carefully prepared
before putting in the seed , by deep
plowing and frequent harrowing , the
cultivation required after the plants
are up need not be more than one inch
deep. If this is dons after every rain ,
there cnn ne r. , . weeds , and they wm
become fewer every year , while the
cultivatic-n will prevent loss of in > is-
ture in the soil by affording a loose
covering of dry earth.
Slt for I.-vo Stnc ! .
Why salt should be regularly sup
plied to stock is thus put by a famous
English authority : Because in the
blood of animals .there is six ov seven
times more soilni : tlian'p.itassium. and
that the omiKicifion of the bloo I is
constant. To ] ? < : > > ( ) aMUia'y ' in gt/od
health a definite amount of common
salt must be assimilated. The excess
of potassium salts -vegetable foods
causes by chemical exchange an : rl > -
normal loss of common wilt. This is
proved by the fact that the craving of
an animal for common salt is most no
ticeable when the food contains a large
proportion of potassium salts , such as
wheat , barley , oats , potatoes , beans and
peas. The addition of salt to animal
food increases the appetite , promotes
the repair of tissue by its searching
diffusion through the body , and stimu
lates the rapid using up of its waste
products. vBoussingault's experiments
showed that salt increases muscular
vigor and activity , and improves their
genpral appearance and condition.
For Fe < Mlix Stock.
A bucket of peculiar construction ,
designed especially to be used by farm
ers and dairymen in feeding slop to
stock and in the
handling of fluid sub
stances is the inven
tion of a Michigan
man. It serves in a
sense as a dipper.
The arrangement
is such that it can
be filled by forcing it
bottom downward in
to a receptacle of
fluid substance , the
? ; nw niTKirr. hinged portion of the
bottom being opened to permit the
bucket to be filled and closed to hold
the contents until carried to the place
of feeding. The contents can thus be
disc-barged into , a trough without
wasting it and without the liability of
spilling it upon the clothes of the
operator. The hinged portion of the
bottom of the can is operated by a rod
extending above the top , which term
inates into a handle. As the bucket
is carried by the latter , pressure is
always maintained ujwu the bottom to
keep it closed. When it is desired to
discharge the contents the handle is
pushed downward.
The llisyht AVay to 1'aek Fruit.
If the fruitgrower simply tumbles
his apples into the barrel without sort
ing and without arrangement , in order
to get the greatest number into the
1 arrcl , heads it up and ships to m.u'-
ket , he will discover when he g 'ts his
< -h < ck that his fruit has been sold for
th < lowest price. The only way to get
the top prices for fruit is to sort it
according to grades , arranging in bar
rels or boxes in layers , placing each
apple in by hand , and selecting for the
top layer fruit of the same color. The
top layer should be made up of apples
all of the same size if possible , and the
fruit should come just to the top of
the staves. Then the heading should
be carefully placed on top and gently
pressed down until it slips into the
chine. This can be done better by the
use of a block placed under a lever.
Xitrntu of Soda.
. The value of nitrate of soda applied
to barnyard millet at the Xew Jersey
experiment station was stated by the
experimenters as follows : Amount ap
plied , 1UO pounds per acre ; yield u"ii'
treated acre , T.G.'J tons ; treated acre ,
IS.oS tons ; gain by use of nitrate ,
u.Ti > tons ; per cent of gain , 7o.-i ; valuu
of gain , at ? 3 per ton , $17.23 ; cost oi !
nitrate per acre. $ o.GO. net gain pei ?
acre by use of nitrate over cost , $ lo.05.
The crop -was seeded on June 1G on
well-fertilized land at the rate of three ?
fourths bushels of seed per acre , after
a crop of oat and pea forage had been
harvested , , which averaged six tons per
acre. The nitrate was applied soon af
ter the plants were well rooted and
capable of absorbing food rapidly.
Farming Notes.
Remember the importance of the
kitchen garden.
Preaching economy doesn't amount
to much. You must practice it , but
there is such a thing as being too
economical.
The Clairmont ranch , near Englewood -
wood , in Clark County. Kan. , consist
ing of 21,000 acres of fine land , will be
cut up into small farms.
One hundred and thirty-nine cows ,
comprising the best of thirty-six Illi
nois herds , produced an average of oOl
pounds of butter fat last year.
A grist mill built at Dciii.iark , Ox
ford County. Mich. , 100 years ago is
still in a state of good preservation
and doing business at the old stand.
A Swiss manufacturer claims to
have iKH'fccted an artificial wool from
jute which will stand dyeing some
thing hitherto regarded as impossible.
Oatmeal and linseed boiled into a ,
thin gruel is fine for lambs. They like
it and thrive mightily. They do not
rieed much water with this gruel if fed
twice a day.
In Holland they rotate the fertili
zers as well as the crops. Each crop
has its particular coaxer. Perhaps
that's why they farm successfully on
land worth ShGOO per acre.
A cow owned by William Ma her of
SheJlield , 111. , gave birth tovthree good-
sized and perfectly developed calves.
She is half Jersey , and raised ttie
calves the first three weeks on her
own milk.
