Concrete Belt Armor.
The use of re-enforced concrete
armor on warships has recently been
suggested. An Italian engineer. Lor
enzo d'Adda, has been led bj the suc
cess of concrete land fortifications,
as revealed in the Russian-Japanese
war, to construct armor plates of re
enforced concrete, covered with thin
plates of steel, as a protection against
the immediate effects of the impact of
shells. Concrete armor plates, even
when re-enforced.foy stout and close
ly inlaid Iron bars, must obviously
be much thicker than hardened steel
armor, but as the" specific gravity
of the material is only one-third that
cf sf "1 the weight of the armor need
net be increased, while Its cost may
be very greatly diminished. The sub
stitution of re-enforced concrete for
steel armor on a first chas -battleship
would effect a considerable saving.
The practicability of 'the substitution,
will be decided by the result of ex
periments, soon to be made, on the
effect cf shots on the re-enforced
concrete plates.-Scientific American.

Egg-Eating Hens.
Frequently, the egg-eating habit ia
caused by soft-shelled eggs being laid.
The hens get a taste of the egg and
thus form the appetite. To prevent
these bad eggs the fowls should be com
pelled to exercise, and there should be
such feed given that will supply plen
ty of lime, and in addition a small
trough of cracked oyster shell should
be constantly within reach of the
fowls, io they can help themselves at
will.-Farmers* Home Journal.
Feeding Eggs to Calves.
We have had some experience this
winter with young calves and have
found to feed fresh eggs twice a day
to young calves will be a big help, to
fatten quick, and prevent scours. We
had two jthat fed from the cow, and
they took scours and so we fed eggs,
and it put a stop to that. We hand
fed two or three and gave eggs, and
they were soon fat for market This
Is our experience on egg-feeding.-Mrs.

Milk Kept by Gas Pressure.
In some of the milk studies made at
York Agricultural Experiment Station
(Geneva), it was observed that car
bonic acid gas in the milk tended to
prevent its souring. This seemed
worthy of further investigation, and a
series of tests was conducted in which
the gas was combined with the milk
varying pressures, using the ordinary
6oda water chargers and sealing the
bottles to retain the gas and exclude
the air. With the higher pressures of
gas, souring of the milk was delayed
indefinitely; as bottles charged under
pressure of 175 pounds to the inch re
mained sweet for five months. The
milk thus treated makes an agreeable
drink; and it is believed that the pro
cess will be valuable for preserving
milk for use on sea-going vessels, In
hospitals and elsewhere. Full details
of the tests are given in Bulletin No.
392 of the station, which may be ob
tained on application.
Corn or Potatoes.
Some time ago E noticed an article
in the paper from a Maine farmer who
did not think it paid farmers in New
England to raise corn, but said it would
pay better to raise potatoes, and buy
our corn from the West. Did this
brother farmer ever think what would
be the result if everybody went into
the potato business? They would not
be worth 25 cents a bushel, and they
are a crop that we cannot use at home
at any profit. But not so with corn.
We can use all we can raise at a good
profit, and there is no danger of over
production.
But I do not wish to discourage any
one who can make moro momsy with
potatoes. Let every one raise the crop
that he ls sure will bring him the most
clear profit. Here in Rhode Island
much of the land is light and stony,
and will not raise potatoes. : lough
to pay for the manure usedi- but will
raise fine corn with a lit'tje [ manure
and good cultivation, so let us find
out the crops our farms aro best
adapted to and stick to-them.-Culti
vator.
The Horse and Over Check.
An old and experienced horseman
says:
"My experience has been that no
horse can be successfully driven with
anything like a severe bit. I never
saw one that was ever broken of the
habit of pulling in that way. If you
put a severe bit in the horse's mouth
and pull on it, it makes the horse mad
and irritates him; the further you
drive him and the harder you pull
him the more he will pull against it.
When I was a boy, almost every trot
ter I saw would pull in a disagreeable
manner when being driven at top
speed. At the present time I cannot
think of one horse that is anything
like first-class that pulls enough to
make it disagreeable for the man at
any time. A great many people think
that every horse should be driven with
an overcheck. I can remember when
I had the same opinion myself. I am
now satisfied that it is a serious mis
take. There are a great many horses
that will not take kindly to an over
check, and if you insist on using it on
them it will sooner or later spoil the
horse's disposition to a great extent.
The first thing in training a horse
is to make a careful study of the ani
mal, learning all his peculiarities,
faults, weaknesses, habits, etc. I
think one vital mistake made by men
training horses is that ''they do not
seem to think horses are made of
flesh and blood, and very nearly hu
man in all their ways.
. % Greater Corn Crops.
Every farmer located in thc corn
belt is desirous of growing as much
corn per acre as possible and it is
the fault in many instances of the
corn land owner if he does not do so.
In this section our farmers are
learning that it is profitable to study
the minor details that affect the pro
duction of a good healthy corn crop.
Proper soil and good drainage are
the first two requisites. We have the
former and cannot afford to do with
out the latter.
Then disk well both ways of the
field before breaking up the soil. This
cultivates the soil and pulverizes thor
oughly the portion that is to grow
and nourish the roots. Before disking
the soil it is proper to get all the
manures upon the farm onto this soil
and thoroughly disk it in by the opera
tion. Then you are ready to break
ui the soil with a good plow.
You will find this last operation
greatly lightened by the disking and
you cannot only plow better furrows,
but deeper as well than where you
have a rigid and unworked surface
before you. The tilth of the entire
field is greatly lightened and much
easier prepared for planting.
This operation pays great returns
when done In tue proper manner and
not only pays in growing corn alone,
but as well in growing the potato
crop.
Then grade your seed, both in qual
ity and in quantity. In quality first.
Do not shell into your basket one sin
gle ear that you. are doubtful of in ap
pearance.
Test each ear by shelling off a few
grains and placing them upon a mus
lin mat marked off In checks and
numbered, numbering the ears to cor
respond. Place the mat Into a good
sized, flat box filled with moist carta
or sawdust. In a few days you can
discard the worthless grains and the
ears to which they belong, for they
have failed to germinate, or are weak
ly in sprouting. Shell off the tips and
butts. No use for them. Yet they
will grow and produce, but plenty of
nice uniform grains will make a more
even stand.-deo. W. Brown, in the
Epitomist.
Raising. Geese on Farms.
Young geese are easily cared for,
and cause little trouble or expense to
raise after the first six weeks, pro
vided they ha-'e access to good goose
pasturage. They are really grazing
birds, and will forage for themselves
on the right kind of land. Not only
do they get most of their own living,
but tend to Improve the quality of the
land.
No great expense is required for
building. A low house four feet high
answers for shelter. The floor should
be covered with plenty of litter, and
no special attention to warmth is re
quired. During the pasture season
geese should be allowed free range
In their pasture, returning at night
for shelter, lt pasturage is limited it
would pay to grow green crops, such
as oats, to be fed off by the geese.
A pond or stream is not necessary,
but it is desirable to have enough
water for them to swim in, and they
will find a great deal of natural food
along the banks of small, ' sluggish
streams or on overflowed land. "
During the laying season, early In
the spring; the eggs should be re<
moved from the nest so that the goose
will lay as many eggs as possible,
usually from thirty to forty. The sur
plus eggs may be placed under hens,
three or four eggs to a hen, choosing
large sized birds. The period of
hatching is thirty days. The eggs set
under hens are apt to lack moisture
and should be sprinkled occasionally
to prevent the inner skin from being
tough and hindering the hatching of
the gosling.
The young goslings will almost
raise themselves, being hardy and
strong and growing very fast. They
soon become able to look after them
selves. Unlike chickens, they need
very little .brooding, and at the end
of a week or ten days may be kept in
good sized flocks of twenty or twenty
five. During the first ten days or so
they should be confined in a low,
movable run to prevent their wander
ing away and getting lost. This run
should be in a shady place, and con
nected with a sheered coop.
These youngsters are fed very much
like young chickens, plenty of good
fresh skim-milk being especially de
sirable to make rapid growth. After
the first ten days the appetite of
growing goslins becomes very vigor
ous, and cheapness should be sought
in the food ration. Besides the grass
pasturage, which will furnish a large
part of nhe food, it is possible to work
off various cheap by-products, such as
slightly damaged grains, which may
be had at seventy-five cents to $1 per
hundred at the grain stores making a
specialty of such lines.
The goslings may be either grown
quickly to market as green geese or
kept through the season for the
Christmas trade, both plans being
followed by those farmers of the east
ern states.-American Cultivator.
Farm Notes.
Cull, cull, cull. The best are none
too good for the breeding pen.
Do not let pigs get stunted. It is
up-hill work to m?ke much of one
that does.
The more pigs suckled by a sow
with her first litter, the more will
her milk-producing habit for all time
develop.
No sire and no dam, no matter how
great its reputation or how good its
pedigree, will produce good pigs ex
clusively. Selection and breeding up
must be done as often as a litter is
dropped.
When hogs cannot be on pasture,
very good results can be got from
the use of well-cured hay made from
any of the clovers, alfalfa or pea
vines. Hogs will eat large quantities
of it and it helps to balance their
rations.
Some claim that a sow that farrows
twice a year will develop more high
ly the milk-giving habit, than if only
one litter is dropped a year. The prin
ciple that is supposed to underlie this
claim is that from much use the
udder develops better. The exper
ience of successful hog-raisers is de
sired on this point.
If it becomes necessary to give
some of the pigs of one sow to an
other, especially if they are more than
two or three days old, brush all the
pigs over lightly with a cloth that has
been merely dampened with coal oil.
Sows distinguish between their own
pigs and others largely by smelling
them, and the treatment recommend
ed will make them all smell alike.
There are two advantages in tak
ing some of the pigs from a sow that
has a large number to give to one
that has too few: (1) By having some
of her pigs taken from her, the sow
that has too many will nourish better
what remain. (2) The sow that or
iginally" has some given to her, will
have more milk-giving teats developed
for future litters.-From "Pig Points"
in the Progressive Farmer.
He Did.
A pushcart on which three pyramids
of oranges had been carefully arranged
by a swarthy vender was standing
near the curb of an uptown street
yesterday. It was on the sunny side
of the street, and the three signs, "2
cents-8 for 15 cents," 3 cents-12 for
35 cents" and "4 cents-7 for 25 cents,'
were already attracting attention,
when two fighting dogs and a man of
peace got mixed up under the wheels.
The cart went down, and the orange
pyramids became bright moving spots
on the asphalt. The small boy was
present, and helped himself, regardless
of price, and scampered-possibly to
be on time for the noon meal. One
urchin was stopped by a little, well
dresed seven-year-old who had seen
the accident. He broke away from his
father, with whom he was walking,
seized hold of the boy and said: "Say,
that isn't yours-it's the poor man's.
Put it down." A crowd witnessed the
act and showed its approval. Not
another orange went astray. The
father smiled with pride as he led his
little son away, but he had gone only
a fc-Vv' steps when a boy shouted after
him: "Hey. there '.'.'hy don't you buy
de kid a' orange? ...id he did.-Ne>w

To Prevent Moths.
To keep moths out of upholstered
furniture, sprinkle well with benzine.
It will not spot or stain the most deli
cate colors, and the unpleasant odor
soon passes away in the air. Where
it is known that the moth miller has
entered a closet, burn a tablespoonful
of gum camphor in the roof closing the
door and letting the clothes remain in
the fumes.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
Tinting Lace.
Buy a tube of; oil paint of the color
which you want to dye your lace.
Squeeze it into a cup of gasoline and
stir until dissolved. Ddp a small
piece of lace into it and If too deeii
a color, add gasoline until the cor
rect shade ls obtained. Then put
all the lace in, take out, shake gent
ly and dry in open air. Be sure that
the gasoline is not used in a room in
which there is a lamp, gas, or a fire.

I Lavender Scent.
Do you know that a few drops of
oil of lavender in a silver bowl or or
namental dish of some kind, half filled
with very hot water and set In the
dining room just before dinner la
served, gives a delightful and intangi
ble freshness to the atmosphere? Host
esses may use this in the parlors and
dressing rooms, when arranging the
house for entertaining. The sugges
tion Is especially advantageous to
those occupying small apartments
which are sometimes "stuffy."-The
Delineator.
The Coffee Habit
Don't become a slave to the coffee
habit. Coffee is a stimulant. To be
sure, its effects are mild. You might
drink coffee all your life and not no
tice any especially serious symptoms
as the result of its use, but you will be
In better health without It, your nerves
will be in better condition, your di
gestive organism and your muscular
system will improve in nearly every
case, if the use of coffee is discon
tinued. Coffee is a very frequent cause
of bilousness and various other diges
tive disorders.-Home Chat.
A Convenient Pantry.
A house that lacked that great con
venience, a butler's pantry connect
ing with the dining room, may find a
very convenient substitute l'or one in
a tall screen placed near the kitchen
door. If of strong material the screen
may have a shelf fastened to the in
ner side on which may be placed the
dessert and fruit plates until ready for
use. A small table behind the screen
may hold other necessary articles, like
a pan of hot water and towels to sup
ply clean forks and spoons to the table,
or to hold delicate tableware that*
cannot safely be washed in the kitch
en. Such a pantry may easily be con
structed by the house carpenter. A
well-made pair of clothes frames, cov
ered with marbleized oilcloth on one
side and Canton flannel or cretonne on
the side to be exposed to the room,
could be used for a screen.-New Hav
en Register.

educated women ls greater propor

the dilemma of a woman accustomed
to luxury and suddenly thrown on
her own resources so distressing as
in England. This problem was dis
cussed recently at a great confer
ence ia London, where representative
women of England, Ireland and Scot
land met to decide on the best means
to help educated women to earn a
living wage.

A Gentle Hint.
Senator Fulton at his annual Ore
gon salmon dinner in Washington,
told a tipping story.
"In Astoria," he said, ' there used to
be an old fisherman who, brought me
the first of every month a present of
a splendid salmon from his master. 1
always gave the old fisherman a tip.
"But one morning I was very busy
and when the old man brought tne
fish I thanked him hurriedly, and for
getting his tip bent over my desk
again. He hositated a moment, then
cleared his throat and said:
"Senator, would ye be so kind as
to put it in wrltin' that ye dion it give
me no Up this time, or my wife'll
think I've went and spent it on rum."

Why He Could Not Change.
The story is told of a Dutchman
who certainly needed the service of
the far-famed "Lady from Philadel
phia," If ever any one required her
assistance.
He was assigned to a seat In the
coach which obliged him to ride back
ward through the Black Forest. At
the first stopping place he asked the
postmaster to give bim another seat,
saying it made him ill to ride back
ward.
"Ask the man opposite to change
with you," said the postmaster, gruffly.
"But there is nobody opposite *.0
me," complained the Dutchman, "so
I cannot ask ihlra."-Youth's Compan

A New York editor laid down a
letter "with a laugh.
"A letter from W. W. Jacobs, the
English humorist," be said, "declin
ing to write me a Christmas story
at a dollar a word. That waa not
what made me laugh, though.
"Mr. Jacobs tells me in ?this letter
about an American correspondent of
his own name. The American W.
W. Jacobs wrote to the English one
recently. He said he, too, asJSired
to literary laurels, but so far with
out success. He had a proposition to
make. He proposed that the two
work In partnership, Ihe supplying
the ideas, the other writing the ideas
up."
The editor took up Mr. Jacob's let
ter and read from it:
"My American namesake then told
of a dream he had had, In which this
partnership arrangement evidently an
swered satisfactorily; so satisfactor
ily. Indeed, that publishers' checks
came ia so fast and furious that the
majority of them had to be returned
as 'unavailable'-a happy state which
none of us, or very few, ever reach."

many 'sure cures' but they were of little

I had bad no real relief. Then my com
