Regulating t h e flow o f water into trough* and tanks is something which causes farmers more or less anxiety ami trouble, for the reason that many of the patent regulators now in the market fa il to work satisfactorily for any length of time. Many simple home made devices, however, can be made to work. The one shown In the illustra tion, which Is from the American Agri culturist. lias a number o f strong points. «-> J fm . •• •»— regu lator •%- fo r w a t e r trough s . The water pipe enters near the top of the tank, which places the valve out of water, thus relieving it o f all danger from rust or the collection of sediment. However, whore necessary, the pipe may enter nearer the bottom of the tank, and if the valve is kept clear the device will still serve its purpose. An other point in its favor is that, if de al red, the valve can be closed Just ns effectually when the tank Is one-fourth full as when filled to the brim. The lower half of the long. Jointed lever connecting the valve and float has a shorter one attached to it, the upper end of the latter having a number of holes in It. By having a hole in the upper half of the jointed lever and using a pin, the angle at the joint can be changed at will. Making it as large as possible will necessitate the float be ing lifted near the top of the tank be fore the valve is entirely closed, but by decreasing the angle the valve will be closed while the float is still near the bottom. A scaled can or bottle makes a good float. A board or block of wood soon becomes soaked, and in conse quence Its lifting power is greatly diminished. plaining some of the very I'llriit'st sweet eoru on rich land the last of April it Is possible to have It on the table from the middle of .Inly until long after frost has nipped the leaves. It is the late varieties of corn like Ever green that are in order for late use, and there should is* at least two plantings of these, one for early and to ripen seed, and the other late and not In tended to ripen at all. If the eoru is cut before frost ami the green ears are Plueked from the stalk anil put iu a cool cellar, the corn will be nearly as good most of the winter as It was lu the fall. We know some farmers who only ean or dry eorn for late winter anil spring use, as they keep green ears of tlielr latest planting tit for use until January or later. If the ears are left on the stHlks they will ripen too much to he in good condition, but if plucked off and kept very near down to freezing temperature and 111 a dry- place to prevent mold, late Evergreen corn ean be kept in rendition long after frost and snow have come.—American Cultivator. P ry Lim a Bea ns f o r t h e Ta bl e. Few of (hose who like the succulent green Lima beans know that they are. if not equally good, at least supe rior to common Held beans when dried for winter use. We used al ways when growing Limas to put up those that we could not use green, and the winter supply was usually exhaust ed before spring. We think a pniflt- able market for Lima beans in their dried state ean be found In most cities or villages If farmers will tell their city friends how good they are. Lima beans have, even when dried, much of the rich, nutty taste that makes them popular when eaten green. There is another reason also for saving the late beans left at tile end of the season for use In winter. They are quite often used for seed, with the result of mak ing the Lima bean crop each year a little later, so that hi some places very few would be lit for use until frost mine and nipped the vines. The tlrst fruits of anything in which curliness is im portant should always be used for seed. P r o t e c t H a y s t a c k s f r o m Bain . Where hay is stacked out of doors for several months.

Besides, the cow pea gets its nitrogen as clover does, from air in the soil. It is one of the leguminous order of plants, all of w hich have this power. The chief objection to growing cow peas in the North Is the difficulty in ripening their seed. One or two kinds will ripen in New England in a favora ble season and if put in early.

TRAVEL SOUTH AFRICAN RUINS. \ f, 9 COUNTY He It would seem that, at aome far dis tant date, a people more civilized than uuy of the present Kafir tribe« had peuetrated into the region we now call Maahoualand, and had maintained it self there for a considerable period. Re mains of gold-workings are found iu many parts of that country, aud even as far as the southwestern part of Matabeleland—remains which show that mining must have been carried on, by primitive methods, no doubt, but still upon a scale larger than we can well deem within the capabilities of the Kafir tribes as we now see them. There are, moreover, iu these regions, aud usually not far from some old gold- working, pieces of ancient building exe cuted with a neatness and finish, as well as with an attempt at artistic e f fect, which are entirely absent from the rough walls, sometimes of loose stones, sometimes plastered with mud, which the Kafirs build to-day. These old buildings are, with one ex ception, bits of wall inclosing forts or residences. They are eonstructed of small blocks of the granite of the coun try, carefully trimmed to be of one size, and are usually ornamented with a simple pattern, such as the so-called ••herringbone” pattern. The one excep tion is to be found in the ruins of Zim babwe, in southern Mushoualaud. Here a wall thirty feet high, aud from six to twelve or fourteen feet thick, incloses a large elliptical space, filled with other buildings, some of which apparently w'ere intended for the purposes of wor ship. There are no inscriptions of any kind, and few objects, except some rudely carved heads of birds, to supply any indication as to the ethnological affinities of the people who erected this building, or as to the nature of their worship. Such indications us we have, how’ever, suggest that it was some form of nature worship, including the wor ship of the sun. We know from other sources (including the Egyptian monu ments and the Old Testament) tliat there was from very early times a trade betw’een the Red Sea and some part of East Africa; and as w’e know also that the worship of natural forces and o f the sun prevailed among the early Semites, the view that the builders of Zimbabwe were of Arab or some other Semitic stock, is at least highly plausible. T w o things are quite clear to every one who examines the ruins, and com pares them with the smaller fragments of undent building already mentioned. Those who built Zimbabwe w ere a race much superior to the Kantu tribes, whose mild huts are now to be found not far from these still strong aud solid walls; aud those other remains scatter ed through the country were cither the work of that same superior race, or, at any rate, were built in Imitation of their style and under the influence they had left. Rut whether this race was driven out or peaceably withdrew, or became by degrees absorbed and lost In the surrounding Bantu population, we have no data for conjecture. I f they came from Arabia they must have <«*me more than twelve centuries ago. before the days of Mohammed; for they were evi dently not Mussulmans, and it is Just ns easy to suppose that they came in the days of Solomon, fifteen centuries earlier.—Century.

Housework, chores, gardening, walk ing. climbing, cycling, running, swim ming and many other sports give Just the kind of exercise that is indicated in certain conditions, due regard being had to the physiological effects of varj- Ing dosage. Oertel has shown how the simple exercise of walking may be adapted to sufferers from cardiac de bility by prescribing the distance and speed and the number and length of the rests on definite paths graduated according to their slope. His interest ing and original work has not only given a new direction to the treatment of certain cardiac affections, but is destined to have an im porim t Influ ence in establishing accuracy in the prescription of exercise. Whoever has studied the map of the envirous of Reichenhall, Bavaria, prepared by Oretel for the application of his meth od. will acquire a vivid Idea of what precision of dosing in exercise means. In this map the different paths suita ble for the work are marked in four different colors, to indicate those that are nearly level, those slightly sloping, moderately sloping and steep, and fig ures are placed along each route to show the space that should be trav ersed in each quarter hour. The locality Itself is prepared for Its remedial use by placing benches for resting at suitable distances, and by marking on certain trees near the path circles, colored to correspond with the map, to indicate the difficulty of that particular section. By systematic prac tice on the easier paths the heart and system are progressively trained and strengthened. Intelligent analysis may do the same work for cycling, horseback riding, ami many other fa miliar exercises. In this way the dosage is practically reduced to a def inite number of kilogram meters ln a given time, and a step has been taken In placing the prescription of exercise upon a scientific basis.—Appleton’s Science Monthly.

Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Crocker announce the engagement of their only daughter, Miss Laura T. Crocker, to William Hayes Acklan of Washington. This is the outcome of something of a romance. Several years ago, when Miss Crocker was traveling in Europe, she met Mr. Acklan, then in the diplo matic service, in a Frouch city. The next winter the acquaintance was re newed at St. Augustine, and Mr. Ack lan came to Cleveland to visit the Crock ers in June. Miss Crocker, who is a superb horse woman, saved Mr. Acklan’s life during a runaway. Both were severely injured. The young man was nursed back to health under the Crocker roof and %11 in love with his resener. The next w in ter they met at St. Augustine, but Bar on von Eichtriz, a German nobleman of fine appearance, was also there and tried to win the heiress. He lingered, but at last was compelled to return to Germany alone. Miss Crocker went to Washington, where she wus the gnest for several weeks of Vice President aud Mrs. Ste venson. She met Mr. Acklan again and consented to become his wife. Miss Crocker is 22 years old and has traveled extensively. Mr. Acklan is the author of several books.— New York Journal “ B i g as a B a m D o o r .” A F AM O U S CASE. T h e D a v is W i l l C ase t o B e R e o p e n e d In M on tan a. Mrs. Elizabeth Bowdoin of Spring- field, Mass., has filed a petition in the Eighth district court of Montana for the purpose of reopening the famous w ill case contest involving the many millions left by the late Judge Andrew J. Davis. Mrs. Bowdoin is a sister of the dead millionaire, aud she asks the court to revoke the probate of the old w ill, over which the contest by the Root fuction was carried on for years, and which was finally admitted to probate about a year ago under some private arrangement for the division of the estate, bat which arrangement did not include some heirs- at-law who had taken no part in the original contest. Mrs. Bowdoin was one of these. In her petition she alleges that the old w ill, executed in 186(5, in Halt Creek township, la., when Davis was a poor man, was a forgery; that the body of the instrument and the signatures of Davis and three witnesses were forged. The principal point raised in the peti tion is the allegation of the fact that in 1880 Davis executed a w ill, by the pro visions of which all former wills were revoked, but this w ill was subsequently destroyed. Mrs. Bowdoin, howey^r, claims that the fact that it was destroyed did not revive the old w ill, even if the latter was geunine. The estate involved, iu Hpite of the great litigutiou, has con stantly increased in value, and is worth probably $10,000,000.- -Chicago Times Herald.
