THE HOLD. vino* at aim Are Often Smoldering Furnaces 0»IQW peeks, o e Sxp ld ring fovea oil bortrd ship are common .enough and inmany cases Ire comparatively harmless, filrey arise Mostly from epontaneoua Combustion caused by piling large quantittes of Coal iii close quarters. It is said on excellent authority that there Is not much danger from such a fire, hardly any on an iron or a step] ship, . The first protective measure In such au event is to exclude the air, so that the fire can only smolder, Then the hunker is flooded with water, which usually serves toextinguish it. Even in wooden ships the danger from smoldering fire is not half so great as has been pictured by non - seagoing folk. This is illustrated by the experience of the captain of the Twin Brothers, engaged some years ago in the wheat trade between San Francisco aud Liverpool, The vesse} was returning from Liverpool with s thousand tons of coal In the hold as ballast. Just after It rounded Cape Horn It was discovered that the coal was on fire. There was a steam pump on board, and after closing the lower hatches the crew flooded the hold until the ship had settled about four feet low- er in the water. Then the captain stood pat and let her burn. No One was frightened, and every one was con- fident that the ship would be safely brought Into port. Call was made at Valparaiso for fresh water and pro- visions, but not a man deserted. The vessel was seventy-two days in reaching San Francisco from the Horn, and all that time the coal burned, and little streams of smoke could be seen coming through the cracks in the deck. Arriving at San Francisco, the Twin Brothers sailed out on the mud fiats and was flooded until she settled al- most even with her upper deck. This extinguished the fire. The appearance of the vessel after, all this was pretty fair evidence what a ship may sustain In the way of a fire. In n dozen places the bottom had burned through, and all that was be- tween the crew and the deep sea was the thin sheet of copper bottom, The weight of the coal and the pressure of the water kept spout equal strain on both sides of the copper sheeting, and it had not broken, although it was lit- tle thicker than an ordinary tin pan. There was one place where this cop- per was exposed abort the bigness of the top of a barrel -New York Tribune. Luring the Beaver. Beavers when they have been undls- turbed for long are very curious in re- lation to strange sounds. They zv211 come swimming out of their house even at the firing of a gun. The In- dians usually call theta with a hissing noise or one produced by munching the Ups. Another favorite tole is a sound made by tapping the trousers with the hand. Tho most successful beaver call- er in Newfoundland killed great num- bers of beavers In the open season by making a sound that resembled the cutting of chips off a tree. It is said that the unfortuniite beavers never fail to respond to this noise. Charles Lamb's Bad Cold. When Charles Lamb was suffering with a cold he wrote the following to his friend Bernard Barton: "Do you know what it is to succumb under an insurmountable daymare-an indisposition to do anything or to be anything, a total deadness and dis- taste, a suspension of vitality, an in- difference to locality, a numb soporif- !cal good -for -nothingness, en ossifica- tion all over, an oyster -like indifference to passing events, a mind stupor, a brawny defiance to the needles of a thrusting in conscience, with a total irresolution to submit to water gruel processes?" The Canny Saiiorman. "It was a terrible situation," said Dubbieigb. "There we were, hub deep in the sand and the tide rising. At the end of an hour the water was up to the door level of the tonneau, and then I managed to get hold of an old cuss with a team of horses, and he hauled us out." "By George, that was e narrow es- cape. What did you give the old fel- low for rescuing you?" said Higgs. "I offered the old duffer $10, but he was a retired sea captain, and he at- tached the car for salvage," said Dubb- leigh,-Etarper's Weekly. Easy Waiting. A. newspaper woman. a spins'er, went to interview a member of oue of the leading firms in Boston and was told to wait live minutes for him to be at liberty, Three-quarters of an hour later he came hurrying toward her with, "Weil, miss W., I would never wait so, long as this for any man!" "Oh, Mr. Cole," she retorted, "if`, you had waited forty-five years for a man you wouldn't mind an extra hate', hour." -Boston Post. TEST Your ALFALFA -SEED. - t May Se Done Easily and Cheaply at Home With Simple Apparatus. 1 onein n earth. will settle On thing a ark w. Y$ I Lhe doubt whether alfalfa seed is pure or not, and that is to teat the seed -- the best seed obtainable -so that the labor of plowing and drilling may not 5e wholly lost. The testing can be done at roma it takes only a simple apparatus, con- sisting of two pieces of flannel or blot- ting paper about six inches square, be - tweet; which are placed 100 seeds. The whole, placed between two plates, should be kept moist, but not sop- ping wet. The seeds which have ;premed should be counted every day. .1t the end of six days the total num- ber of sprouted seeds will represent fairly well the germinating power of the sample. Good alfalfa seed should -eve a percentage of at least eighty. Besides the germinating power tbere Is another quality which must be con- ;ldered in judging a sample. Does it •ontain a large number of brown seeds? If so, it would be safer not to use it. The brown seed may sprout in the apparatus just as described, but Pail entirely to make plants when put n the ground out of doors. Tests at various experiment stations have shown this to be true, Many farmers sow screenings or seed which is a little better than screenings and try to make up for lack of quality by doubling the quantity. Phis may do well enough where land is cheap, but there is too much dan4 ger anywhere of getting a poor stand and of sowing the land to weeds. Kansas Industrialist. Compound i raaoture.

It is the height of their ambition to wear bright uniform, and carry a sword and give ord- ers to a battalion of soldiers, But these same men often make a miserable failure of it when they come to commanding themselves. I'd rather a horse would whinny out his joy when I comenear him, andturn head lovingly over ng y ve my shoulder as Island by his side, than to direct the storming of a cityor the diseharge of the guns which low a thousand men, But to be a good master of the farm creatures, .and to have thelove and best wishes of those we meet every day, we must hold ourslves in hand. Can we do it? Do we do it? Things come to try the metal of us all. Not a day passes that something does not happen to fire the heart and make pulse run puicker. What then? Can we -do we -keep a steady hand upon ourselves, and say to temptation or trial "I am master here! Down with you and stay down." It is not a very great thing to rule by fear, but it is a divine thing to command by love. And love is a thing of the heart. It can never be successfully imitated. It springs from a pure, simple, childlike heart. It is worth looking for, because when found it is the most beautiful thing in all the world. -Farmer Vincent, in Farm Journal. • The Finer. Naw the flies begin their buzzin' hitt the gross and by the dozen and their make our lives a burden with thelx gimlets and their drills; they are riding on the breezes and they seatter more diseases than the doe can ever master with his sugar-coated pills. Day by day the house -fly hustles for our red and white corpuscles, shooting venoms in our systems with hypodermic gun; hustling in all human regions, sending to the boneyard legions who would otherwise keep living in this world of work and fun. Flies are vile and vul- gar creatures; they have no redeeming features; they drive all the world to anger as they wield their deadly tools; and they keep us mad and fretting till we often are forgetting all the splen- did moral lessons that we learned in Sunday schools, When the flies haver all been driven from this land the joy of livin' will (the scientists assure us) be increased a hundred foie; let us therefore rise and swat 'em, knock 'em endways, top and bottom, till they weary of their labors and their sticky feet are cold. Swat 'em with our swat- ters swatty, though the world may say we're dotty, kill them all with guns and poison, tie some tinware to their tails; tie them to the stake with tette+ ers, give them coats of tar and feath- ers; when we find them in our village let us ride them out on rails: -Walt Mason. 440. ..s The Japanese, while losing faith in the religion of their fathers, are gain- ing faith in no other religion. Too old to bother with trees, eh? Well, well: Some years ago a Mr. Cobb of Massachusetts set out an orchard when he was sev- enty years old. He mildly re- marked, when ridiculed, that "some one could use the fruit." As a matter of fact, be lived to be 107 years old, so Local history affirms, and enjoyed for many years the harvests from those trees. -Farm Journal. 1 1 -1• -I4+4 -•I-144414-1 I--1-t-i t -d••1 -1••I 1-•F HAY FEEDING PEN. May Be Used In Supplying Fodder td Stock In the Fields. A great many farmers turn their stock into fields in the spring and feed them hay from the stack. Often they, haul out the bay and throw it on the ground. While the stock may get a good deal of it, they will necessarily trample a lot of it into the ground or so befoul it by running over it that GOOD HAY PEN. they will refuse to eat it. Here is a good plan for making a hay pen into which the hay may be thrown: Set four posts into the ground, one at each corner of a parallelogram 6 by 8 feet. Nail strong 2 by 4's to these posts ev- ery foot from the ground to the height of three feet. Leave a space wide enough for stock to get their heads through easily and nail another 2 by 4 or attach strong bathed wire in its place. This will keep the stock from jumping into the pen. If 2 by 4 pieces cannot be obtained strong poles se- cured from the timber and trimmed at ends so they can be nailed may be used instead. -Iowa Homestead. For the Horse's Sore Shoulders. If the horse's shoulders should shout, signs of becoming sore, the skin being unbroken, a very good application is sulphate of zinc, one-half an ounce; sugar of lead, one-half an ounce, and water, one quart, and an excellent !a tion for hardening the shoulders, even when they have not yet shown any disposition to become sore, is powder' ed alum, one ounce; sulphuric acid, one dram, and water, one quart. Sheep in the Cornfields. One great advantage in keeping sheep in a dry season when the »es- t i:NS are dried up and closely eaten off is that we can turn the sheep into the cornfields as soon as the corn is welt sulked out, and this without injury to the corn. The sheep eat any grass and weeds among the corn and also the lolver Ieaves on the cornstalks without detriment to the earing of the corn. Lime. A limestone soil is a good soil, This proverb states a rule to which the ex- ceptions are so few, if there are any, that they need not bo considered.. Lime Is more generally needed than most of us are aware. Try a few bushels of ilnie on the fields you are about to sow to clover and see it it makes a better crop.--p'arm and Fire - aide. Before planting Any large quan- tity of smati grain, grass or clo- ver seed send a sample to your state experiment station for ex- amination. The seeds of many noxious plants are to be found In impure and unreliable seeds. It is far easier to xlo this than to eradicate some pestiferous weed that obtains a erns foothold oil your farm. ++ - 4i _ +++++++ +++++44+444744:4444-444,4,444-44$ + it TIu :e Tirnes 4 + 4 ,p -..- + + + + + + + + + + + + + 4. ++- + • Britain.
