Concrete Belt Armor. The use of re-enforced concrete armor on warships has recently been suggested. An Italian engineer. Lor enzo d'Adda, has been led bj the suc cess of concrete land fortifications, as revealed in the Russian-Japanese war, to construct armor plates of re enforced concrete, covered with thin plates of steel, as a protection against the immediate effects of the impact of shells. Concrete armor plates, even when re-enforced.foy stout and close ly inlaid Iron bars, must obviously be much thicker than hardened steel armor, but as the" specific gravity of the material is only one-third that cf sf "1 the weight of the armor need net be increased, while Its cost may be very greatly diminished. The sub stitution of re-enforced concrete for steel armor on a first chas -battleship would effect a considerable saving. The practicability of 'the substitution, will be decided by the result of ex periments, soon to be made, on the effect cf shots on the re-enforced concrete plates.-Scientific American.

The hens get a taste of the egg and thus form the appetite. To prevent these bad eggs the fowls should be com pelled to exercise, and there should be such feed given that will supply plen ty of lime, and in addition a small trough of cracked oyster shell should be constantly within reach of the fowls, io they can help themselves at will.-Farmers* Home Journal. Feeding Eggs to Calves. We have had some experience this winter with young calves and have found to feed fresh eggs twice a day to young calves will be a big help, to fatten quick, and prevent scours. We had two jthat fed from the cow, and they took scours and so we fed eggs, and it put a stop to that. We hand fed two or three and gave eggs, and they were soon fat for market This Is our experience on egg-feeding.-Mrs. T. E. Kinnaman, ia the Indiana Farm er. Milk Kept by Gas Pressure. In some of the milk studies made at York Agricultural Experiment Station (Geneva), it was observed that car bonic acid gas in the milk tended to prevent its souring. This seemed worthy of further investigation, and a series of tests was conducted in which the gas was combined with the milk varying pressures, using the ordinary 6oda water chargers and sealing the bottles to retain the gas and exclude the air. With the higher pressures of gas, souring of the milk was delayed indefinitely; as bottles charged under pressure of 175 pounds to the inch re mained sweet for five months. The milk thus treated makes an agreeable drink; and it is believed that the pro cess will be valuable for preserving milk for use on sea-going vessels, In hospitals and elsewhere. Full details of the tests are given in Bulletin No. 392 of the station, which may be ob tained on application. Corn or Potatoes. Some time ago E noticed an article in the paper from a Maine farmer who did not think it paid farmers in New England to raise corn, but said it would pay better to raise potatoes, and buy our corn from the West. Did this brother farmer ever think what would be the result if everybody went into the potato business? They would not be worth 25 cents a bushel, and they are a crop that we cannot use at home at any profit. But not so with corn. We can use all we can raise at a good profit, and there is no danger of over production. But I do not wish to discourage any one who can make moro momsy with potatoes. Let every one raise the crop that he ls sure will bring him the most clear profit. Here in Rhode Island much of the land is light and stony, and will not raise potatoes. : lough to pay for the manure usedi- but will raise fine corn with a lit'tje [ manure and good cultivation, so let us find out the crops our farms aro best adapted to and stick to-them.-Culti vator. The Horse and Over Check. An old and experienced horseman says: "My experience has been that no horse can be successfully driven with anything like a severe bit. I never saw one that was ever broken of the habit of pulling in that way. If you put a severe bit in the horse's mouth and pull on it, it makes the horse mad and irritates him; the further you drive him and the harder you pull him the more he will pull against it. When I was a boy, almost every trot ter I saw would pull in a disagreeable manner when being driven at top speed. At the present time I cannot think of one horse that is anything like first-class that pulls enough to make it disagreeable for the man at any time. A great many people think that every horse should be driven with an overcheck. I can remember when I had the same opinion myself. I am now satisfied that it is a serious mis take. There are a great many horses that will not take kindly to an over check, and if you insist on using it on them it will sooner or later spoil the horse's disposition to a great extent. The first thing in training a horse is to make a careful study of the ani mal, learning all his peculiarities, faults, weaknesses, habits, etc. I think one vital mistake made by men training horses is that ''they do not seem to think horses are made of flesh and blood, and very nearly hu man in all their ways. . % Greater Corn Crops. Every farmer located in thc corn belt is desirous of growing as much corn per acre as possible and it is the fault in many instances of the corn land owner if he does not do so. In this section our farmers are learning that it is profitable to study the minor details that affect the pro duction of a good healthy corn crop. Proper soil and good drainage are the first two requisites. We have the former and cannot afford to do with out the latter. Then disk well both ways of the field before breaking up the soil. This cultivates the soil and pulverizes thor oughly the portion that is to grow and nourish the roots. Before disking the soil it is proper to get all the manures upon the farm onto this soil and thoroughly disk it in by the opera tion. Then you are ready to break ui the soil with a good plow. You will find this last operation greatly lightened by the disking and you cannot only plow better furrows, but deeper as well than where you have a rigid and unworked surface before you. The tilth of the entire field is greatly lightened and much easier prepared for planting. This operation pays great returns when done In tue proper manner and not only pays in growing corn alone, but as well in growing the potato crop. Then grade your seed, both in qual ity and in quantity. In quality first. Do not shell into your basket one sin gle ear that you. are doubtful of in ap pearance. Test each ear by shelling off a few grains and placing them upon a mus lin mat marked off In checks and numbered, numbering the ears to cor respond. Place the mat Into a good sized, flat box filled with moist carta or sawdust. In a few days you can discard the worthless grains and the ears to which they belong, for they have failed to germinate, or are weak ly in sprouting. Shell off the tips and butts. No use for them. Yet they will grow and produce, but plenty of nice uniform grains will make a more even stand.-deo. W. Brown, in the Epitomist. Raising. Geese on Farms. Young geese are easily cared for, and cause little trouble or expense to raise after the first six weeks, pro vided they ha-'e access to good goose pasturage. They are really grazing birds, and will forage for themselves on the right kind of land. Not only do they get most of their own living, but tend to Improve the quality of the land. No great expense is required for building. A low house four feet high answers for shelter. The floor should be covered with plenty of litter, and no special attention to warmth is re quired. During the pasture season geese should be allowed free range In their pasture, returning at night for shelter, lt pasturage is limited it would pay to grow green crops, such as oats, to be fed off by the geese. A pond or stream is not necessary, but it is desirable to have enough water for them to swim in, and they will find a great deal of natural food along the banks of small, ' sluggish streams or on overflowed land. " During the laying season, early In the spring; the eggs should be re< moved from the nest so that the goose will lay as many eggs as possible, usually from thirty to forty. The sur plus eggs may be placed under hens, three or four eggs to a hen, choosing large sized birds. The period of hatching is thirty days. The eggs set under hens are apt to lack moisture and should be sprinkled occasionally to prevent the inner skin from being tough and hindering the hatching of the gosling. The young goslings will almost raise themselves, being hardy and strong and growing very fast. They soon become able to look after them selves. Unlike chickens, they need very little .brooding, and at the end of a week or ten days may be kept in good sized flocks of twenty or twenty five. During the first ten days or so they should be confined in a low, movable run to prevent their wander ing away and getting lost. This run should be in a shady place, and con nected with a sheered coop. These youngsters are fed very much like young chickens, plenty of good fresh skim-milk being especially de sirable to make rapid growth. After the first ten days the appetite of growing goslins becomes very vigor ous, and cheapness should be sought in the food ration. Besides the grass pasturage, which will furnish a large part of nhe food, it is possible to work off various cheap by-products, such as slightly damaged grains, which may be had at seventy-five cents to $1 per hundred at the grain stores making a specialty of such lines. The goslings may be either grown quickly to market as green geese or kept through the season for the Christmas trade, both plans being followed by those farmers of the east ern states.-American Cultivator. Farm Notes. Cull, cull, cull. The best are none too good for the breeding pen. Do not let pigs get stunted. It is up-hill work to m?ke much of one that does. The more pigs suckled by a sow with her first litter, the more will her milk-producing habit for all time develop. No sire and no dam, no matter how great its reputation or how good its pedigree, will produce good pigs ex clusively. Selection and breeding up must be done as often as a litter is dropped. When hogs cannot be on pasture, very good results can be got from the use of well-cured hay made from any of the clovers, alfalfa or pea vines. Hogs will eat large quantities of it and it helps to balance their rations. Some claim that a sow that farrows twice a year will develop more high ly the milk-giving habit, than if only one litter is dropped a year. The prin ciple that is supposed to underlie this claim is that from much use the udder develops better. The exper ience of successful hog-raisers is de sired on this point. If it becomes necessary to give some of the pigs of one sow to an other, especially if they are more than two or three days old, brush all the pigs over lightly with a cloth that has been merely dampened with coal oil. Sows distinguish between their own pigs and others largely by smelling them, and the treatment recommend ed will make them all smell alike. There are two advantages in tak ing some of the pigs from a sow that has a large number to give to one that has too few: (1) By having some of her pigs taken from her, the sow that has too many will nourish better what remain. (2) The sow that or iginally" has some given to her, will have more milk-giving teats developed for future litters.-From "Pig Points" in the Progressive Farmer. He Did. A pushcart on which three pyramids of oranges had been carefully arranged by a swarthy vender was standing near the curb of an uptown street yesterday. It was on the sunny side of the street, and the three signs, "2 cents-8 for 15 cents," 3 cents-12 for 35 cents" and "4 cents-7 for 25 cents,' were already attracting attention, when two fighting dogs and a man of peace got mixed up under the wheels. The cart went down, and the orange pyramids became bright moving spots on the asphalt. The small boy was present, and helped himself, regardless of price, and scampered-possibly to be on time for the noon meal. One urchin was stopped by a little, well dresed seven-year-old who had seen the accident. He broke away from his father, with whom he was walking, seized hold of the boy and said: "Say, that isn't yours-it's the poor man's. Put it down." A crowd witnessed the act and showed its approval. Not another orange went astray. The father smiled with pride as he led his little son away, but he had gone only a fc-Vv' steps when a boy shouted after him: "Hey. there '.'.'hy don't you buy de kid a' orange? ...id he did.-Ne>w York Tribune.

A house that lacked that great con venience, a butler's pantry connect ing with the dining room, may find a very convenient substitute l'or one in a tall screen placed near the kitchen door. If of strong material the screen may have a shelf fastened to the in ner side on which may be placed the dessert and fruit plates until ready for use. A small table behind the screen may hold other necessary articles, like a pan of hot water and towels to sup ply clean forks and spoons to the table, or to hold delicate tableware that* cannot safely be washed in the kitch en.
