Water la Crops,
ORE water is Eold
by farmers than
any other sub
stance, and it
brings a higher
price in proportion
to cost than any ma
terial known, a
writer in Philadel
phia Record says.
Water is sold in so
many forms, how
value varies daily.
clover contains
1,600 pounds of water per ion,
and when a ton of dry clover
hay is hauled to market 200 pounds of
the load consists of water. Every nun-
dred pounds of milk sold contains
pounds of water, and the mixed stable
manure which is, spread on the fields
is more than one-half water. No mat
ter how dry oi well cured the hay and
fodder crops may be, from the farm
er's point cf view, there will be water
to haul that is contained in the plant
A ton of cured fodder contains sua
pounds of water, and even salt hay,
which is usually apparently as dry as if
passed through a kiln, contains over
100 pounds of water per ton. The far
mer sells this water, and the more .
ler he can sell the larger his profit, as
all nitrogenous and mineral matter
taken from the soil by the plants is a
direct loss unless the price at which
he crop is sold is sufficiently large to
eimhurse tho farmer for his loss of
plant food, as well as afford him a
profit. The greatest profit from the use
of water as an ingredient of farm pro
duct Is when the farmer grows su:h
rops as beets, carrots, potatoes and
nrnips, ns they can be utilized on the
"arm instead of entailing cost of trans
'ortation to market While these crops
ontain a large amount of solid matter
u proportion to the yield per acre,
heir chief value is In the water, as the
vater is a valuable aid to digestion and
contains the nutritious matter in solu
ion to a large extent; henc, the water
s not a useless substance which adds
weight only, but is as desirable in the
form In which It exists in the plant
'.a the solid portions, but while the sol
d portions cost the farmer sometimes
he water docs cot, and that is an im
portant consideration which must not
')e overlooked. The water in plants
annot be supplied artificially. Every
:ie knows that there Is a difference be
ween green apples and apples that
:ave been dried and cooked In water.
t is the same with vegetables and
oots. We can dry them and render
hem juicy again by cooking them in
vater, but we cannot regain the condi
ion in which the water existed in the
ilant before drying or evaporating It
t is more valuable than that which is
applied. Beets and carrots contain
1.SG0 pounds of water per ton. A crop
,f twenty tonB of beets per acre de
motes that the farmer has taken from
hat acre as a crop 36,000 pounds of
.vater, and such a yield of beets is ,iot
i large one compared with results fre
quently obtained. Turnips, one of the
staple crops 6t the farm, contain but
little less water than beets or carrots,
and potatoes are scld at good prices
some years, although there is about 1,
500 pounds of water In every ton. The
proportion of water in fruits is much
greater, especially with grapes, straw
berries and cherries; in fact, water In
fruits brings a higher price than is ob
tained for any material, as a box of
strawberries selling at 10 cents would
allow less than one cent for the solid
matter contained, leaving nine cents
for the water To secure this crop of
water, however, the farmer will be
compelled to use care and judgment It
comes from the clouds, it is trap, but
there are periods when the plant cannot
store it; hence the fruit and vegetables
do net prow to perfection and the far
mer will lose a porrinn of his crop of
water, while his land will have already
given up more than the proportionate
supply of mineral matter.

Ether aa a Plaat Developer,
United States Consul Kirk of Coye.
hagen has forwarded to the state de
partment the following translation
from Dannebrog of a lecture delivered
by Mr. Johannsen at the agricultural
high school recently on the results ob
tained by the etherizing method of de
veloping plants earlier than Is their
nature, by exposing them to the lain
ence of ether fumes. By exposing
sleeping plants to the influence of eth
er and chloroform the result Is ob
tained that each plant, after the treat
ment with ether, begins to shoot They
have thus probably been awakened
from their previous condition ot sleep
or inactivity. Lilacs grow splendidly
when placed in an air-tight compart
ment and exposed forty-eight hours to
the effect of 500 or 600 cubic centime
ters of ether, and then put in a hot
house. Just before Christmas the
plants had developed splendidly. The
etherizing of tho plants will cost 1 to
1 cents each. The main point Is to
get the plants to shoot at any time
before Christmas, even in September
and October. It can be said that some
progress has undoubtedly been made,
but no one can tell to what astonishing
results this discovery may lead. Tu
lips, lilacs, etc., can be developed much
earlier and have a pretty color and
great durability, as the ether frees the
plant of decomposable matter. To
etherize the plants they are placed in
an air-tight receptacle and exposed
from twenty-four hours to ninety-six
hours (generally forty-eight hours).
to the influence of the ether. Cylindri
cal glasses are used for small plants,
and for large plants an oil-painted box,
the Interior of which is lined with tin
foil, 4 feet high and long, and 24 feet
broad. On the lid a small hole is
made, which is closed with a cork,
and the ether is conducted through
this hole. As ether is very inflam
mable, great care must be taken not
to bring candles or matches near It
The ether is dissolved at from 15 de
grees to 20 degrees centigrade.
Insanity In Horses,
Whether there are not some horses
that are actually Insane h a subject
upon which opinions differ. On this
question r.n English writer says: "I
have little doubt but that hi many
cases where the horse shows sudden,
unaccountable fits of ill temper, vice,
or other demonstrations of strange
conduct, that the cause is due to cere
bral affection. Horses may become
temporarily Insane from certain forma
of disease, such as, among others, the
development of a tumor on the brain.
Fits of unaccountable vice may occa
sionally be the result of organic
changes in the brain matter, as in
man, and not to normal mental disposi
tion. I was recently told of a young
foal which sometimes was subject to
demonstrations of strange conduct, ac
companied at intervals by what ap
peared fits or convulsions. He was
found to be suffering from water on
the brain, otherwise hydrocephalus.
He was operated upon surgically with
a view to his relief, but even after he
was broken-in and became a "made
horse," he never afterwards was trust
worthy either under the saddle or in
harness, consequently the owner part
ed with him. Singular to relate, both
his dam and grandara were queer cat
tle, and at various times were subject
to strango periodical aberrations of
conduct In the case of the foal men
tioned, there can be little doubt that
he was the victim of hereditary brain
disease, productive of temporary In
sanity. Such cases, I believe, are more
frequent than is generally supposed.
Horses are not always responsible for
their actions.
Aagara Goats la the Soath.
A correspondent of Texas Farm
Journal, who breeds Angora goats,
ays: I nave been breeding Angora
goats for fourteen years and find it a
very profitable business. I have a
barbed wire pasture fence, with sev
eral division fences, all made of ten of
the best barbed wires. Still, the
wolves will sometimes get in by
scratching through under the lowest
wire, but we generally get the wolves
now, before they do much damage, by
setting steel traps at such holes on
both sides of the fence. We generally
fasten three steel traps together and do
not fasten the traps to anything. Ear
ly in the morning one of the boys will
go there with the dogs and a gun. The
dogs will take the trail, and the wolf
is generally not more than 300 yards
away, often with more than one foot
in a trap. If traps are fastened, the
wolf or wild-cat is moro likely to
break loose. In very cold weather they
are liable to bite their caught feet oft
or jerk loose, as they soon have no
feeling in their freezing feet if they
can travel, however slow, with their
dragging traps, they are not likely
to tly to break loose from tho traps.
It is a beautiful sight to sec a bunch
of about 500 Angora goats coming
home about sundown, with their long,
silky fleeces. I have always sheared
twice each year that is, in April and
in September. If these nice animals
are shorn only once in a year, they
will soon look ugly, because tho long,
silky hair will become matted and
they will soon look as ugly as a scab
by sheep. In kidding time it is best
to keep those ewes that will soon
bring kids In a small pasture separated
from the flock. If the weather be cold
and wet, they should have a shelter.
Dry, cold weather does not hurt them.
In hot days the little kids need shade
from the hot sun. At first I tried to
make the kids follow their mothers
with the flock, but I soon found that it
was Impossible to do that. The little
kids were soon all hidden in the high
grass and bushes. After that I fol
lowed the advice of older goat men,
who left the kids in the pen until they
were six or eight weeks old. During
the past three years I kept kids in a
separate small pasture, where they
have plenty of shade, water, green
shrubbery, weeds and young, tender
herbs of various kinds. If allowed to
follow the flock too young they will
lie down and go to sleep and be lost

they will only peed to be mixed before

By thus dissolving twenty-four pounds
In, say, thirty-six gallons of water, we
shall have enough for six barrels of

be slaked slowly, adding water only
as fast as it is taken up. Twenty-four
pounas is all that is needed for the

if it will be required within a week or
two the entire barrel may be slaked at
once. It will not deteriorate if kept
covered with water. The above form

but it may be slightly modified. Thus
for the second spraying of grapes the
amount of water should be reduced to
thirty gallons, and for most other crops
It may be Increased to fifty gallons af-
Tiro Kinds of Horsemeai
All mankind may, vith great clear
ness, be divided into two parts those
who understand horses and those who
do not, says an exchange. There are
people who will drive or ride a nag all
day nay, who may own ono nuti use
it for years whose powers of Observa
tion aie not sufficiently enlisted In tho
details of the animal to distinguish :t
from any strange horse in the next
stall unless there be some irross dif
ference In color. Such equestrians will
be content to see a fine horse, with
nerves, eyes, musclcq and possibilities
for good or evil cashiered In favdf of
the dead certainty of a peripatetic
steam engine. The second, smaller,
and aside from horse dealers, more no
ble group of Individuals cannot so
much as enter a fortuitous close cab
without taking unconscious note of the
stockings, the withers, the size and the
facial expression of the creature be

pathy stands this test has felt the thrill
imparted by the responsive Bpring of
a glorious saddle horse, has enjoyed
mental conversations with the shape
ly, all expressive ears of the sensitive
creature, ha been fairly exalted by
mere proximity to the splendid spirit
of a haid driven thoroughbred and has
quivered with the same heady drink
which briliant frosty mornings have
brought to the smoking muzzles of his
dancing bays, with their flashing eyes
and strong, curved flecks but iB it not
absurd to defend a good horse from a
horseless carriage?
MODIFIED MILK.
The approach of hot weather Is re
garded with dread by many a weary
mother who understands the Increased
perils which surround the life of
her little one at that time of the year,
especially If it is so unfortunate as
to be found "nursing tho bottle."
In the summer the child's nervous
system, always easily Influenced, Is so
much at the mercy of the heat that
any deviation from the natural order
of things is sure to result unfavor
ably. The cause of many a serious diges
tive disturbance will be found to He
outside of any suspected change In the
character of the milk. The milk may
be sterilized and mixed with various
ingredients to render it more easily
digested, according to the best known
formulae, and it still remains to mod
ify it to suit the immediate wants of
the individual case.
If the milk is too rich, that Is to
say. if it has too much fat in it, the
little stomach will be unable to digest
it fully. This failure will cause a
looseness of the bowels, and if the
case, although so simple. Is misunder
stood and therefore improperly treat
ed, exhaustion and even collapse may
eventually be the result a literal In
stance of "starving In the midst of
plenty." The superfluous fat keeps
the bowels in a continual state of Ir
ritation. On the other hand, if too much
sugar Is present in the milk, the op
posite effect is produced and the child
suffers nearly as much from the re
tention in the system of matter which
should have been eliminated. The
child usually becomes excessively
nervous and fussy, and no treatment
is of avail until the bowels are regu

As might be expected, it is impos
sible to "play off" these two facts one
against the other. And this Is what
is meant by modified milk. If it Is
suspected that there Is too much fat
in the milk It may not only be diluted
until the desired proportion is reach
ed, but more sugar may be added to
insure the speedy recovery of the little
patient. In the same way the milk may
seems to
require it, by the addition of a little

Chickens and Garden,
We planted our corn, beans, peas and
tomatoes about the time we set a half
dozen bens. Vegetables are up now,
and tho chickens are out of the shell,
writes H. B. Geer in Epltomist. We
have placed the barrel coops, a style of
coop made of a barrel with four or five
staves removed, and laid down with a
slatted front, right by the side of the
garden fence. Then hens are confined
in their coops, but the chick3, of which
there are more than fifty, pass in and
out the slatted fronts a.t will, under the
garden fence and in among the vege
tables. They chase about after bugs,
and now and then pull a slug or worm
from the surface of the ground, but
they don't scratch to amount to any
thing, or at least not enough to uproot
any vegetables, aud they don't in any
way injure the latter. We calculate
the earden will outerow the chickens.
and It certainly will do so, while the be made richer, if occasion
vegetables will serve as a barber for
insecis for the chicks, and the
chicks will get the Insects be
fore they get the vegetables. That is
the way we view it, and the way it is
working now and has worked for us on
former occasions. True, when the to
matoes begin to ripen towards autumn,
we shall have to protect them, but we
will provide that when we furnish
the support to the vines, by means of
a frame work that will keep the toma
toes odt of tho way of the chickens, as
well as support the vines. The beans
are partly along the cross fences, and
being of the running kind, they will
climb the wire-netting cross fence and
provide shade for the chickens in the
summer time, as will also the corn and
the beans planted with it. Chickens
do hot barm bunch peas to any great
extent. People who think they cannot
raise both chickens and a garden
should bear in mind that it is the hen
that scratches up the garden, and not
tho little chickens. Start chickens
and garden about the same time, con
fine the hen, and let the chickens run.
They will do the garden more good
than harm while they are small, and
the vegetables will be mostly gathered
by the time the chickens approach ma
turity when they might do some harm
Lesson to a Iloorlth New Yorker.
It was just after tho closo of the

were crowded. In this particular
car the passengers wero noarly all

party of three, a young woman, a
young man. and a lino gray-haired
old lady. They mado their way up
tho aislo and stood near the man
who was sitting, but ho did not offer
tho old '.ady his scat A gray-haired
old gentleman who had been stand
ing near tho door and watching the
man in the seat worked his way up
to tne party and stood nearly in
front of the man in tho scat Ho
lifted his hat and bowed to the old
lady and said, with a wavo of his
hand toward tho man sitting down:
"Madam, let mo ofler you this
seat."
Tho man in tho scat looked up and
turned red. "Why, er-cortainly-or-madam,
tako this coat," and ho
loaned out of it like a cork out of a

"Thank you," said the gray-haired
lady and tho gray-haired man and

The court had assessed a fine of fit

mount was very nearly the size of hi s

hesitating way that the court was
moved to compassion.
If you have any regret' said tho
judge, "for what you havo done, I
might possibly remit tho fino."
"Your honor Is very kind, replied
the attorney with mock humility,
handing tho money to the clerk, "and

It Is only by watching the child
carefully and striving to appreciate
the changes which are taking place in

one of tho many measures which are
employed in successful nursing.

Sugar Beets In California. The sta
tistics of the Chino Beet Sugar fac
tory of California show that there was
7,000 acres of beets grown for that
factor last year. This produced a
total of 64,000 tons of beets and gave
an average of 2,286 pounds of crude
sugar per acre, or a total of about 8,
000 tons for the season. From this it
is csitmated that the net profit of the
factory was about 1240.000. The aver
age return per acre to growers ot beeta
was $33.75.

For Flies on Cattle. Take coal tar
two parts and coll oil and grease one
part and mix with a small amount of
carbolic acid. Apply with a cloth by
moistening the hair and horns of the
animal with the liquid. In the appli
cations include feet and legs, and it
will drive every fly away, and one ap
plication will last ten days or more
in dry weather. Apply as often as
necessary, and your cows will be en
tirely secure from flies of all kinds. Any
kind of old lard or grease can he used.
Coal tar Is the base of this remedy, and
when too thick to spread well use more
coal oil; when too thin to adhere well
use more coal tar. Carbolic acid will
cost about 50 or CO cents in crystals by
the pound, and eery farmer should
always keep it on hand, as It. in its

Eggs for Setting. Early failures to
hatch eggs very seldom come from lack
of vicor In the germ; for in this the
early egg3 are superior. They more of
ten come from allowing eggs to be
chilled before the setting begins. Every
one knows that chilling after a few
days' setting soon destroys the life in
the egg. It may d so where eggs that
have never been set on are kept in con
tact with metal.which rapidly abstracts
heat when the eggs are kept for greater
safety near the freezing temperature.
Dishes for holding eggs should be of
