HOME-MAC= FILTER. flow a Very Cheap One Can Be Made From a itar. el. When rain water Is used for drink. fee sue household purposes, it should be altered. Very good filters for the Purpose oan be obtained in almost every town. Those who prefer to save the cost by tuaking their own filter will find the accompanying elietch and de- scription suggestive. A barrel or half. banrel may be used, accordingly as large or smaller quantities of water are required. It need not be new. only water-tight and cleat. One head is removed and in it is set a wedged- shaped box, as shown in the sectional vie* herewith. The top of the filter box projects four inches above the barrel. Four inches from the bottom of the filter box is a closely-fitted bot- tom of wood or tine perforated with small boles. Above this perforated bot- tom are placed four Inches of charcntl, a layer of the coarsest pieces at the bot- tom. If gravel is obtainable a layer of two or three inches deep may be put In over the cbarcoaL Four In- the water, and if the chernial has been well pressed In place the water will Saar slowly through. A faucet is placed near the tbottom of the barrel as shown. Two of the lower edges of the filter-box are deeply notched to al- low the free escape Of the filtered water as it comes through the pee (orated bottom. nenhoe at American Sheep Husbandry. 'As sure as one and one are two the sheep for the fanners Is one com- bining in a high degree a good mature carcass at two years old and a fleece of clean, strong, lively wool that will weigh ten pounds -or more. Men with such sheep have not been -complaining of hard times during the last five years. Nor are such sheep hard to find lay any means. Good sheep, good pastures, good breeding, good man- agement in good hands have lees coin- petition than the opposite kind of sheep and care given. The or- dinary wool grower wants to timed this. He has need of Vetteng outside, above the class ho complains of. It Is better beyond where the best products are offered in the markets. Mutton-sheep raisers want all they can get for their wool as well as mutton, but mutton-raisers say least. There-has been a rainbow la sight all the time for them. Accuracy and DieseurIng. Many farmers work too much by guessing. They do not know the num- ber of acres in teach field, or how large a piece of laud- has been plowed In n day. By knowing the breadth of a lot, one may know the width of each acre, the quantity of seed required and the product per acre of each crop The implements to be used, may be two-rod surveyor's chain or a pocket tape line, a pole eleven feet long, three lengths of which make two rods, yard- sticks graduated, and a small pocket rule for measuring the size of fruit and roots and for other purposes. A frequent use of these measures en Wales the owner to judge with much accuracy of the distance measured by pacing or hand measuring. Lower California. . Lower- Calitornia, an immense ten ritory . of 20.12 square miles, contains only 21,000 inhabitants, of millet pee baps 1,000 are foreign. As yet It has no telegraphs or cables, and sometime. It Is an entire month without rectha Mg news from the outside world. This territory has long been noted for the variety of dyes which It produces, such as orchilla weed, etc., but the Moots tree bark, recently discovered, has come into great demand, and sevens.' large shiploads have been exported to Europe. As yet there seems to be bet little deniand for the article is the United States, although It is cheap er than orchilla and other dyes, pro doteng in its natural state a dark red color, which is quite indelible.

Capt. allots from Great Britain, Canada end Newfoundland bought 120,00f acres of government land last year end are putting it into easel, but the government has declined to sell morn land at present Unimproved privet. lands can be bought for from $S to 512 per acre. It is believed that in short time the exports, which nos average about 000,000, evill run uj Into the millions. Sisal plants are it great demand, and the price has ad vaneed from REX to thirty-six cents per dozen. A plantation once started reeds no replanting for several years °moieties of old plants have latelj been discovered on some of the Mori do keys, Which suggests a trial of the hemp Industry in Southern Florida.
