C. AYEK. Lowell, MM*. New Idea Receiving Attention In Ma­ rine Circle*--A Succeaefat T«tt. It Is only within the last few years that sailors have discovered the great advantage of carrying ballast on the decks of empty ships. In sailing ships, of course, It is necessary to have the weight as low down in the hull as may be, for the object Is to give the vessel "stiffness" and to counter-balance the pressure of the tVind on her sails. But in steamers the weight of ballast need­ ed to prevent the ship from capsizing is ( small; most of it is carried ,j;o immerse the propeller and to reduce rolling, and as a steamer's center of gravity is gen­ erally nearer to her deck than to her keel ballast on deck steadies her more than ballast at the bottom of the hold. Some captains, it Is true, still refuse to believe that it can be safe to carry weight so high up, but the number of tramp steamers that go to sea with rub­ bish on their decks Is steadily Increas­ ing. The Mancunia, which has recently had her first experience of the Atlan­ tic, is the first steamer in which pro­ vision has been made for carrying water ballast above the water line. Her sides are double, and the space between the inner and outer skins can be filled or emptied at will, so that there is no occasion to cumber her decks with solid ballast. Her captain's statement that this voyage in her was by far the most comfortable of twelve made by him across the Atlantic "in ballast," confirmed as it is by the record of the ship's clinometer, is certainly remark­ able.--Manchester Guardian.

Perhaps nothing can exert a more powerful influence on the feelings, the sympathies of the human race, than music. When It is appropriate it Is a great boon, but men's opinions as to what Is appropriate music vary consid­ erably. A traveling showman recently said: "I took out a tableau show some time ago, and I had some queer experiences. We always had trouble getting suita­ ble music, for one thing. I remember that we struck a certain town where the music was furnished by a seedy, freckled-faced young man, who offi­ ciated at a wreck of a piano. "I asked him if he could think of mu­ sic suitable to each picture as It was displayed. 'Certainly he could, and do it impromptu.' The performance open­ ed. He was seated at the piano, and "he tufned.to look at the first tableau. It was a representation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

The team tramping over this the next day pack It solid so It will not legk water. The grade on Inside will have to be made by hand; draw dirt to edge with hoe br shovel, then tamp solid by hand. After banks are completed wet entire inside of pond and tamp both .sides and bottom. I would use a wooden beetle for this, one with 5 or 6-inch face. It would be better to cement the bottom and sides up about three or four feet, but do not cement above frost line. The whole secret of building a dirt reservoir is the packing or puddling the dirt after the banks are made, and if tbe dirt used in banks is very saudy or gravelly, you will have to use a layer of four or five inches" of clay or black soil, mixed with short manure, to puddle the inside--one-third manure, two-thirds dirt or clay. Make banks of reservoir same way, only make bottom 20 feet wide and slope from both sides alike to top of 7% feet. When completed fence and wet thor­ oughly. Now. turn in twenty-five or, thirty head of cattle and horses, as each other, many as you have available, and drive them around. They will do the pud­ dling better than you did the fish pond, but you could not use them there on ac­ count of narrow bottom and slope banks. Repeat this puddling three or four times. The bank between pond and reservoir should be 12 feet across at top. All banks should be at least 18 inches higher, when settled, than high-water line.--Stock Farm Journal. 11 a tidiness withToola* It Is extremely important that every farmer train himself to handling tools of all kinds. If he has a forge with bellows and a toolhouse with turning lathe he can make extra whiffletrees, clevises and other articles that are apt to break when men and teams are busi­ est. Many of these can now be bought (Julte as cheaply as they can be made. But there are many things that are ex­ ceedingly handy to have about the house or barn that cannot be purchased in the stores. The toolhouse wlll.be one of the favorite places for boys on the farm to learn to be handy with tools, and whatever they <lo later in life they will never begrudge the time and ex­ perience it has takeu to give them the lessons thus learned. Horseradish. In growing horseradish, says a writer In the Epitomist, the land should be rich, well manured, plowed deep, har­ rowed and f"ee from lumps. As It is a great vegetable to spread, plant in a roomy space by itself. M&ke rows 15 inches apart, set plants 12 inches from Plant shoots about 5 inches long, making holes for some witJi a stick, arid set them about two inches under the soil. Have the shoots cut squarely across the bottom, but cut slanting at the top, in order that o®e side may be a little longer than the other. Keep free from weeds for the first and second seasons, after which the horseradish will take care of itself. The Apple Tree Silk Moth. The attention of orcbardtets ts fre­ quently called during the winter to co­ coons on apple and other twigs. The chances are that these are the cocoons of the apple troe silk moth. In,,.many of the Middle and Western States these cocoons are very common about the edges of woods aud swamps. The lar- vne feed upon a great variety of wild and cultivated trees and shrubs. The moth comes forth from the cocoon in early summer, often measuring 6% Inches across the expanded wings. The ground color of the wings is a grizzled dusky brown, with the hind margins clay colored; near the middle of each of the wings there is an opaque', kidney- shaped, dull red spot, having a white center and a narrow black edging, and beyond the spot a wavy reddish band bordered with white. The fore wings, next to the shoulders, are dull red with a curved white band, and near the tips of the same is an eye-like black spot within a bluish white cresCent. The moths lay the eggs on the trees chosen, a single moth often depositing! many hundred eggs, from which hatch, in about a week, minute spiny caterpil- lars that at once begin to devour the j surrounding foliage. From time to time j they shed their skins, or molt. They are very voracious, as would be ex­ pected from the great size they attain, being, when full grown, more than three inches long and thicker than a man's thumb. The body Is covered with numerous spiny tubercules of yellow or of a coral-red hue. Two or three of these full-jirown larvae will strip a young apple tree of foliage in a very short time.--Orange Judd Farmer. Nutritionsneas of Buckwheat. Buckwheat pancakes are said by those who work hard in the open air to maintain strength for a longer time than any kind of bread or other cereal food. This is probably because the pan­ cake Is somewhat harder to digest, be­ cause It is not chewed s«o well and therefore is not so porous In the stom­ ach. Everybody knows that buckwheat cakes are palatable. The discovery that they are also one of the best foods to put Into the stomach in cold weather will make them more popular. But the buckwheat flour is too heating when the weather turns warm. Fattening Sheep. W. A. Henderson, an extensive and successful grower and feeder of sheep, Waseca County, Minn., feeds and fat­ tens sheep in large quantities for the early spring market. He lets his sheep run to straw and hay stacks as they will. The grain fed is made up of shelled qprn, oats and screenings, pne bushel or^th" first, a oats and half a busheTRrfilfeTast. This he keeps before the sheep all the time; t&ey ^vill not eat more than is good for them,'and fatten very rapidly. Yield of Wheat. Despite the enormous crops of wheat' annually produced and low prices dur- j ing some years, some political econo- j mists are of the opinion that in a dec- j ade more there will be a shortage of the world's supply, as nearly all the avail- j able .wheat land Is now utilized. There 1 are, however, enormous crops of corn, j oats and rye grown, and more land may j be brought into service. Indeed, in the I matter of wheat, one fact has been overlooked, which is the possibility of larger yields per acre. The average yield of wheat per ficre in this coun- ; try is about thirteen bushels, yet twice | as many bushels per acre can be grown ) as an average. There are fields of wheat, under a high system of cultiva- 1 tlou. which produce fifty bushels per acre, and as long as the land can be im- proved ̂ he yield may be increased ac-1 cordlngly. The cost of production is be- j ing reduced every year, and the science J of agriculture Is receiving more atten-; tion on the part of farmers. Should , there bfe a shortage of wheat for one season it would result in farmers re- i sorting to every known method to se-: cure larger crop®, as higher prices will stimulate them to do so. ' Ice in Watering Trougha. Whatever stock is watered from troughs in cold weather, there should be a plug fixed at the lower end of the trough, so that with its removal all the qUjckly as to astonish one who does not water can be drawn oft every night It j un(jerstand the operation. It is done Farm Notea. i. Put the young roses that have just rooted Into a cellar where the frost will not reach them, but do not keep them too warm. If started very early in the spring in tbe house and set out in the open air after frost has passed, they will make rapid growth and bloom dur­ ing the summer. Old pose bushes may be cut back after the ground Is cold, and protected with straw or old bags. Nut growing is protitable, but It re­ quires years to bring a nut tree to a stage of growth where it will pay well, hence only young farmers are induced to devote land in that direction. Wal­ nuts, chestnuts and butternuts would Improve with cultivation. In a few years walnut trees will be so scarce that the farmer who has a grove will secure his own price therefor, the tim­ ber being valuable. The cost of weeds to the farmer in a community is enormous compared with certain other expenses. Weeds rob the soil and entail labor from spring until fall. If the farmers in each community would unite and determinedly fight weeds for three years, not allowing a single one to grow if possible, they would then find their expenses greatly reduced owing to the cost of produc­ tion of weeds and their destruction be ing removed. Milk is the best food for all young animals, but as the young animal that is fed on milk grows rapidly its de­ mands for a larger quantity at each meal increases. There arrives a period when the animal can not drink enough for its support unless supplied fre­ quently, as milk contains about S8 per cent, of water. If bran and linseed meal are gradually added to the milk as the animal advances in growth, its wants will be fully supplied. Some of the expert pickers of poultry can take the feathers off a fowl so is far better, however, to water stock in winter in ponds where the ice will , remain frozen all winter, only cutting j the fresh ice that has formed over! night at the watering places. The water | under tbe ice in a deep pond is kept warmer by the icy covering, and Is generally at tbe surface under tbe Ice 1 several degrees below freezing. If the ' watering trough Is allowed to fill with 1 ice. it will keep the water very near the freezing temperature. A running brook where the ice may not freeze at all has water much colder tbanjt is under the ice in a pond. Tranaplantins Yonncr Forest Treea. All the kinds of forest, trees that are most used as ornaments are grown by , nurserymen, and they are so much pref­ erable to those taken from the forest that it is cheaper to buy nursery trees than to take the latter without cost. Tbe cultivation in the nursery develops ! a great many small roots near the ' trunk, and wlucb can easily be removed by dipping each carcass in cold water and allowing it to drip. Finely pulver­ ized rosin is then dusted over and among the feathers, which causes the feathers to stick to the hands, even the piu feathers coming out with but little difficulty. Use the common crude rosin, about half a teaspoonful for each fowl. There are not many farmers who would be willing to spread' forty or fifty loads of stable manure over the apple orchard, yet if thej' would do so they would find out that apples are profitable, as the manure would In­ crease the yield, improve the quality and make them more salable in market. If the manure is not obtainable a fer­ tilizer consisting of 400 pounds bone meal. 300 pounds sulphate of potash and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda will not be too large an application for one acre. The price of a drink is considered a popular loan by tome men. Tough-Skinned Animal Resembling an Ant-Kater Found in Patagonia. In tbese latter days, when people are constantly hearing of the threatened extinction of various tribes of animals, the news of the discovers* of an entirely new species of quadruped is startling. The fact of the existence of a hitherto unknown animal has been brought to light by Dr. Florentino Ameghiuo, who for some time past has had reports of a mysterious creature of nocturnal habits brought to him by several Indians, and a few years ago the late Ramon Lista, while hunting in the interior of Santa Cru*t was startled by the appearance of a strange animal, which he described to Dr. Amegliino "as a pangolin without scales, and covered with reddish hair." Lista shot at the creature, but it was apparently bullet proof, for It disap­ peared Into the brushwood, and al- j though instant search was made no trace of the aniuial was to be found. | As no further evidence was to be \ found, Dr. Ameghino was inclined to I think that the naturalist had been de­ ceived; but he has just received a skin j from South Patagonia which proves > that Lista was correct in ltis statement. ' On examination the ossicles which were j embedded in the skin, "like paving j stones in a street," proved that the aui- | mal evidently belonged to the pango- , lins or scal«Hl ant-eaters, familiar to | naturalists, but Instead of being scaly 1 it is covered with coarse, reddish gray hair, while the skin Itself, which is two , centimeters thick, is so remarkably j tough that it can. only be cut with a | hatchet. This explains why the bullet had no effect upon it.--London Mail. Of To the Land ot Snnsblne.

She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as M the blues," nearly always, with wo­ men, results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv­ ousness in women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn't under­ stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. Her advice is thorough com­ mon sense, and is the counsel of » learned woman of great experience. Read the story of Mrs. F. S.
