Mr. Keefer at once hitched up his horse and conveyed the young man to the brother’s residence where a doctor was hurriedly summoned, but he could do nothing, as the deathly poison had permeated the system.

A Description of the Progress of Their Formation. Along the shores of oceans and other ‘ large bodies of water. especially in the region of the estuaries of large rivers. there are usually immense masses of shifting sand. It is not within the scope of this article to describe the formation of these sand banks. It is sud‘lcicnt to any, therefore, that they usually begin as long sand bars behind which there are sheets of still water. These shallow buys. in the course of time, fill up with mud, becoming salt marshes intersected by thoroughfares, salt ponds and winding: creeks. In the meantime, the long, flat land bars have developed into sen islands, or benches. When the tide falls, the sand of the shore, ground into powder by the w:rves and dried by the sun and wind, is blown in the direction of the prevailing l winds, usually inland. The sand moves l like snow, until it meets an obstruction, when a dune, or snudhill. forms. equal l ln height to the obstacle. A section l through a dune shows a beautiful strati- fication, the sand having been deposited in thin layers, always varying. however, with the nature of the sand, the velocity 1 of the wind. and the obstructions, large or small, which it encouniers. These dunes are not hurled bodily by the ’breezes, but little by little, forming: and reforming, forward and backward, changing, in fact, with every caprice of the wind, gentle and almost imperceptible during a light sea breeze, but a stinglnu. blinding sand-blast in times of gale. In spite, however, of all these minor changes, the sand mass is generally mov- ing, perhaps only a few inches 3 your, in the direction of the prevailing Winds. A l great deal depends upon the day winds. in that at night the sand is damp and firmer. And so mountains of sand are formed, which are often held temporarily by hardy plants, which have gained a precarious footing, but which sooner or later, unless watched and fixed, begin to shift, engulfing meadows, farmlands, lakes, buys, islets, in fact, anything un- able to check its courseâ€"John Gifford in Engineering Magazine for January. MAKING PEARLS TO ORDER. Mussel and Oyster Being Domesticated and Taught the Jewelry Business. Diamonds, rubles, emeralds and sup- phires have all been produced in the laboratory, and it is now the turn of the pearl. The chemist, however, is not him- I self. the moi-er of the new artificial pearls; he is only the collaborator. It is true that false pearls are made from l mother-ofâ€"pearl, but their luster is not up i to the mark. The Chinese have long in- l troduoed grains of sand and little knots of wire into the shell of the pearl oyster I in order that the animal, to relieve itself from the irritation so caused, may coat the foreign substance with pearl. If this matter be inserted between the shell and the mantle the oyster can eject it by con- tractions of his body. To prevent this M. Boutan, a French experimenter, has tre‘ panned the shell and introduced a smell head of users, which might, however, be a true pearl of a small size, through the hole, and fixed it by means of cement to the shell. This bean was in course of time covered with naore by the oyster. and a fine largo pearl was the result. Dealers cannot distinguish it from an Orient pearl. The question of making pearls in this way Was recently discussed at a meeting of the Academies des Sciences, Paris, and M. fBerthelot, the famous chemist, observed that such a pearl could only be considered a true pearl if it had at least a hundred layers of the pearl naore; otherwise it would l only be a foreign substance covered with users. Of course. if the foreign matter is in pearl itself this objection disappears, l and we have the means of producing pearls at will. According to M.‘ Laouze l Duthlcr. some two years woulu be re- qulrei for a hallctlde to produce a big pearl. The artificial pearl of the trade, fabricated from users, could also be coat- ed in the same way. Evidently the pearl mussel and oyster are about to be domesticated for the production of pearls, II the spider is for silk. Pearl divers may . become I legend of the but. MEXICAN JUNE CORN. Advantages From Its Wonderful Ac ‘ MCthOd! Employed at the K8!!!” rial Root System. The Mexican J one is an interesting variety of corn and The Rural New Yorker gives an instructive story about it, in which occur the following items, with illustration: A second planting was made the last week in May. After the plants were well up all were destroyed but two. Liberal dressings of nitrate of soda, sulphate of potash, wood ashes, bonr flour and horse manure were made from time to time. Our object was to find out how tall this corn could be forced to grow. During the season of 1897 the stalks grew to a height of 13 feet, and this in a rather poor soil under ordinary field culture. The nodes or leaves aver- aged seven inches apart, the old leaves averaged about four feet long and four inches wide. It will be seen that such plants would give an immense amount of foliage per acre. The following table will show approximately the rate of growth from week to week: July 25 .......................... 5 feet high. Aug. 2 ........................... 7 feet 5 inches. Aug. 9 ........................... 8 feet 8 inches. Aug. 16 .......................... 9 feet 11 inches. Aug. 24 .......................... 11 feet 8 inches. Sept. 11 ......................... 13 feet. Our next measurement was not until Sept. 27, when the taller plant measur- ed 14 feet, the other being nearly the AERIAL STEMS AND ROOTS OF CORN. same height. After this it made a growth of, perhaps, six inches when frost occurred. The tassels begun to shed their pollen upon the silks of three sets, the uppermost of which was 10 feet above the soil. Tire lowest set was eight feet above the soil. There were nine whorls of aerial roots, eight of which are shown in the cut, the highest being four feet above the soil. The longest leaves were five feet in length and four inches in width. We have raised this variety of corn for three seasons, and While all other kinds were more or less lodged by high winds not a plant of the. Mexican June was broken or bent from a perpendicu- lar position. This is readily accounted for by its wonderful root system and the elasticity and toughness of the stalks, which resemble so many bamboo fishing rods. Folk-wing are. some notes with which some of our readers have favored us, which will show how the Mexican June corn conducted itself with them: Charles Macon of Ingleside, N. ,C., writes under date of Sept. 22: “I have two rows of Mexican June corn. Tire stalks will average 16 feet in heightâ€"- some of them 18 feet. They have fair sized ears that I think will matureâ€" they are about half matured now.” Mr. Benjamin Buckmau of Farming- dale, Ills... as early as Sept. 12 wrote: “The tallest stalks of the Mexican June corn have reached the height of 14 feet, and if we have two weeks of warm weather the ears now showing will produce seeds that will grow.” The lower whorls of aerial stems send out as many fibrous roots as does the main stem itself, and these unquestion- ably absorb nutriment from the soil. Hence it is fair to suppose that the Mexican June corn will thrive in poorer soils and during severer droughts than other varieties A. Five Bowed Corn Marker. “Nine times out of ten you will plant a hill of corn in a track made by the horses if marked with a two or four rowed marker, where if marked with a three or five rowed marker you will nev- er plant in the horse track, and a five rowed marker will mark on rolling or uneven ground as well as level ground. if made like the inclosed plan, ” says an Ohio Farmer correspondent.

The runners are 3% feet long, made of 2 by 8 plank, with 2 by 4 crosspieces, notch ed in runners and spiked. The hinges are made by boring a hole through the 2 by 4 crosspieces and then putting a three~eighths rod through them. The tongue pieces can be put on to suit, for a sleigh or a wagon tongue.

Every effort is made to keep the sta- bles clean and the stalls well bedded and to have as little dust floating at the time. of milking as possible. To ac- complish this latter point the feeding is done after rather than before the milking. The handling of the hay, en- silage or even grain fills the atmos- phere full of dust and carries with it millions upon millions of germs, many .. of which will fall into the milk and" not only cause it to sour, but will de- velop undesirable flavors in the butter and cheese made from it. The hay ba- cillus, a germ that has great tenacity of ' life, exists in immense quantities in cured hay, and when allowed to de- velop unchecked in ripening cream will cause the butter to have a very dis- agreeable, oflz'ensive flavor. Before beginning to milk, says Pro- fessor Otis, each milker sees that his hands are clean, not merely that they look clean, but are as free as pos- sible from germs. For this purpose it is often necessary to wash in hot water previous to milking. Each milker is provided with a canton flannel cloth, which is moistened and used to wipe off the sides and udder of the cow.

Any i one doubting the desirability of such a. be a steady advance in these milk pail need doubt no longer after once seeing the appearance of the pail after milking. In spite of the best pre- cautions, the top of the pull will be covered with numerous hairs and dust particles, enough to spoil the digestion of any man if he only knew what he was swallowing when he drinks the milk out of an open milk pail. Each cow’s milk is weighed, sampled and again strained through a wire strainer and finally through four thick- nesses of cheesecloth. This wire strain- er is so constructed that the milk is strained on an upward pressure. Any particles of dirt remaining in the milk and settling to the bottom will not be forced through the strainer by the pres- sure of the milk above. From the cheese cloth strainer the milk is received into 40 quart milk cans. We have two styles of cans, the New York and the Chicago. We prefer the former for two reasons. In the first place the lid is oval and will not collect dust like the lid of the Chicago can and 1881 can be cleaned much easier. In the sec- ond place, when it is desired To keep the milk any length of time the New I York can may be immersed in \K‘Zitvl‘.

The milk is brought to the dairy room as soon as possible after being milked and strained and is aerated a half a can at a time with the Hill aera- tor. A tin pipe projects above the roof of the dairy room, where fresh air is secured and conducted through absorb- ent cotton, to remove any germs or dust particles, into bellows. where it is forced through the milk. Any one standing near the can of milk while this operation is being performed can- not fail to notice the cowy odor that is given off. This is kept up until the ani- mal odor is removed. In this way near- ly all the taints in milk not due to germs can be removed, and it has been found by experience that milk is much more digestible after being aerated. After aeration the milk is cooled over a. Star or Champion cooler to between 50 and 60 degrees F., at which temper- ature it is kept until delivered to the 1 college dining hall or the creamery or warmed up for the separator. When our StOCk 0f separation takes place immediately after milking, the milk goes directly from â€"-â€"â€"-â€"\\ the aerator to the separator without beâ€" ing cooled. We have sccrcd another success.
