A farmer needs a power that Is both cheap ami ready for use and one that can N- depended upon. He also wants it to U safe from tire nud explosion, iiml easily moved to different parts of the farm buildings. There Is one power that meets all these requirements quite well, and one that the farmer might use to gica'cr advantage than he docs, and that Is the trood power. It was used exclusively 01 farm forty yearn ago for Mich limited use as any imwer w as applied to. Inn, for some reason or oth er, w as ipilte generally abandoned. Hut the tread Kiwer Is coining back Into use again for such work, as a cheap and In expensive power Is needed. This pow er cm be obtained lu almost any size required, from a power Intended for a gout or dog up to a power for four horses. The smallest are often used to run baby separators, churns ami such things as these, and the largest to run feed cutter and heavy threshing machines. A twohorse tread power will run a circular saw for sawing wood, nud a two or three horse Kiwer will tun n medium sized cutter for cut ting ensilage. When a fanner has the horses It Is the cheapest kind of ower that can he obtained upon most farms, and the cost Is within the reach of most farmers. The windmill has come Into use to a considerable extent, especially for pumping water for stock or family use. llh proper attention It doe good work, nud Is, of course. Inexpensive In operation after once established. An other kind of pow er that has come Into Use Is the gasoline engine, and fur nishes one horse power at only one or two ecu Is 1111 hour. This inntter of 1 power seems to Ik- settled among the three forms: The tread Hwer, windmill power and gasoline power. The first Is comparatively Inexpensive III the first cost. While the other two powers named are expensive at the start. It costs scarcely anything to operate them, and the gasoline engine can be used for any work uhmi the farm to which stationary power Is ever applied. Hut. for pumping water alone, nothing will take the place of a good wind power. Mirror and Tanner. The Value of Ctraw. It used to lie said that no straw should lie sold from the farm becuuse It so greatly helped the manure pile. Hut so many uses for straw enme up that its price went far Ix'yoiid Its mano rial value.

American Cultivator. Pure I'rinklns Water. It Is well known that alum will re move organic and other matters from w liter, so as to render It clear and pure; hut It Is now said that fluoride Is su perior to ilium lor this piirsse. (Ine ounce of fluoride Is used lo every I.isni gallons of water. After till, the best purilier Is nature's own. The minute organisms known ns bacteria tire the chief causes of the Impurity of drinking water. These Invisible creatures have to live us well as their larger brethren, nnd they must eat to live. As soon as they have eaten nil lu Ihe water that there Is lo feed on, they die. Iir. Frank laud has recently stated, from his re cent examination of water stored for two weeks, that It seems as pure and free from baclerla life ns If It had been passed through the best of tillers; but It seems strange that this should have so recently come under Ir. Fninkland's experience. l'vory one knows that there Is no pu- r or la-lter water lu the world than that which Is supplied to seafaring people. Almost any kind of water stored awnj lu a ship's tank Im--comes absolutely pure after the vessel has I u a few weeks at sea. This Is usually ascribed In popular language to fermentation, but tliere Is really nothing to ferment; It Is simply that the bacteria have eaten everything In the water there Is to eat, nnd then died of starvation. Mechlin's Monthly. the Va'na of a Oonil Pirln. A spring of pure water on any farm adds ut least a hundred dollars to It value, nnd If near a city It Is worth much more. Often such springs cuu lie found In hillsides by digging six or eight feet, especially If the soil shows springy place during winter and spring. If the spring Is higher than the house It can be conducted Into the kitchen by force of gravity, and the water can le turned off or on as the housewife may desire. There are doubtless hundreds, and possibly thou sands, of farms In New Fnglnnd where the best pure water enn ls conducted Into the house nt slight expense. If the water hns to l lifted a hydraulic ram will force the water up hill. This cost somewhat more, but It will gen erally pay. American Cultivator.

Nitrate of soda Is seldom used lu the cotiiHiuiidlng of the fertilizer sold In Ohio, for the reason that a much cheap er source of nitrogen I found iu the refuse of the Western slaughter houses. Moreover, iilir.it of soda Is an easily soluble salt, and It Is doubtful whether It Is advisable lo use It In the fall, at which time most fcrtlll.ers are applied lu Ohio. In our i xpcrliuenls It Is ap plied only In toe spring, after growth lias U-giin In the case of wheat, or at the time of planting lu the case of spring crops. If sown on wheat about the middle of April and a timely rain follows, the effect of the nitrate will Im' conspicuously manifest In a short lime.

Which Is really best, the white egg or the brown; the large egg, or that of medium sl.eV There Is much argu ment lu the poultry patters of late, try ing lo prove that the birds which lay the "liost ilor.cn" nt the show are really the host utility birds. If the Judging were based on uniformity of color ami uniformity of slue, Just far enough above the average that the breed could be laid up to It, the Mlnt might lo considered proven. Hut too often the eggs are over slxed tdouble yolked. perhaps!, merely Untllse the hens are out of condition, loo fat or otherwise. Looked at from the pro ducer's standMiliit, the frequent over sized egg Is not desirable. It cost more to produce. It Injure the sale of the average, and as a rule. It bring him no more money. Nevertheless, the breed that always lay gissl sized egg - If there are enough of them -1 a good bleed to have. The consumer likes such eggs.- American tiardeulng. Trentmrnt of Alkali I. ami. "Will any form of Mitash, such n wood ashes, e'e , Improve or enrich soils that show u hlle nlkall on the sur face lu the spring? I put on from thir ty to lift y tons of stable manure per acre." Thus writes a perplexed t'olo rado farmer to ltural New Yorker. Fol lowing Is the reply: The wood ashes would not ho likely to lx-llelit such soils, except a they supply polash. The sul phnte of potash would do heller, bill sulphate of lime ol "land plaster" would do as well and he much cheaper. If the drainage of this land Is good, you can wash most of Ihe nlkall out by Irrigating II. The object In using Ihe plaster Is to change Ihe form of this al kali so that It will dissolve nnd wash nwny. Mnrk to Olesn Grain Ple'd It Is a great mistake to let any stock exc.pt poultry glean after the grain harvest has Usui gathered. The pouch ing of the soil, and Injury to young clover caused by other stock running over the llchls, more than offsets what good the stock can gain by gathering the wasted grain head. There are very few waatiil head in modem grain harvesting, except such os are Is-nt down nud cut off with too Utile straw to lie gathered In the buiKlle. If allow ed a free range, the fowl will gather most of Hie grain, and they will pay Is'st for It, as gni'n so gathered always act the hens to laying again. Farm Note.
