Onts lid pen do not 111 very well Into the cropping systems followed on nuy of these Kinnll fields. They must le sown In early spring nnd nro off enrly In Julv, yet they yield so much nutritious hny or soiling material that a amnll area Is usually grown. The method of handling manure on this fnrm ran lie used only on fnrtus ou which stock is kept lu stalls. Ite- hlnd each row of cow I a gutter clghtisMi Inches wldo and seven Inches disip. These gutters have no outlets. They are thoroughly donned dally. (The whole burn Is disinfected twice a week, nnd the Interior Is frequently whitewashed.) When cleaned the gut ters are sprinkled with ashes or dry dirt to absorb what moisture tuny be present. During the day a quantity of nbsorbeiit, consisting of leaf mold, rotten sod, etc., Is placed lu them. Each gutter ends near a door. The mnnuro Is lifted from the gutter Into a cart backed up to the door. The cud of the gutter next the door is slightly lower thnn the other end. One man lifts the mnnuro with a fork and places It In the lower end of the trenc. A second mnn then lifts It Into the curt In this manner tho Uquld ma nure Is all got Into the cart Finally tho fragments that remain In the trench nre swept to tho lower end nnd removed. The cart goes Immediately to tho field, and the manure Is sprend nt once. Iu.auinmcr It Is sprend on the land froiii which tho soiling crops nre removed. In winter It is spread ou the rye nnd grass fields, on the Int ter particularly when the ground Is too soft to phice it upon the rye fields. No manure U used ou newly seeded grass lands, but the second and third yenr grass fields nre top dressed in winter, Blnce this account was first present ed In 1003 nuirked economic chnngea have occurred, which, If this fnrm were still In operation as It wns then, toould materially affect the profit ob tained. Most of these change relate to the price of concentrated feeding stuffs. The writer Is of opinion that nuder present conditions this farm Is smaller than a dairy farm ought to bo. especially before the land has .been mnilo exceedingly fertile. It Is now vory desirable to havo the dairy farm largo enough to penult growing nt least a part of the concentrated feed UTILIZATION OF SAWDUST. Plan te Hl and Light City ftm Rfu f Lumber Mill.

The new system of preventing col lisions at sea proposed by Sir Hiram Muxlm Is basis on a theory of the bat's sixth sense. A century ago Abbe Spnllanznul proved thnt bats could pur sue and catch Insect without seeing them. The vibration 'or waves from a bat's wings, though of too low fre quency to produce Bound, are reflected buck from obstacles they strike, and It Is supposed that the but la able to de tect the reflection and thus to guide its flight. Poundlugs for similar echoes could be mnde on shipboard. With a wave generator of 200 or 300 horse power, vibrations could be sent out of alsiut the same frequency as those of a bnt and It Is believed that they would be reflected from five miles awny suffi ciently strong to be detected. A trial apparatus has been mnde by 'Sir Ill-ram. Lightning Stroke Investigated. The results of an exhaustive Investi gation of lightning strokes In the Unit ed States by the department of agri culture disposes of the notion that certain kinds of' trees are immune from these strokes. It asserts that any kind of tree is likely to be struck by lightning. It shows that the Colo rado plateau has more strokes than nuy other section. Stretching Tight Fitting Shoe.
