Taking advantage of It la these principles the Inventor has formed a chart which not only has the horizontal lines ususuy found in copy books, but has, U addition, a set of oblique lines placed at such an angle that the curved lines of the letters will extend irom the crossing point Of the horizontal and oblique lines to the crossing shove or below.

Self-Closin- g Origin of Petroisum. E. Coete, the president of the Canadian kilning laatitwte, recently-re- ad an interesting paper before that body, setting forth hit reasons for believing that petroleum deposits of the world are of volcanic origin, saya the New York Commercial Advertiser. He points out a' number of facts which render the theory at present generally held by geologists that It has arisen directly from the decomposition of organic remains, animal and vegetable -untenable. He calls attention to tbe fact that no such process is at present under way; that all organic decomposition of aulnial material is so rapid and complete that there is no opportunity for the entombment of anything but bones in sedimentary rocks; that as the oil deposits of the lower Silurian limestone of Ohio and of other flelda ard below the carboniferous beds, and as it is generally admitted by geologists that previous to the 1st ter age there was very little vegetable life on the earth, these enormous deposits could not have arisen from organic remains, because there were few organisms at that time, and, final ly, that if petroleum was due to the destructive distillation of coal, there would now be no coal beds, all having long ago been transformed Into petroleum and a cokellke residue.

Frtim laniitra Ktiln A dairy man writes that he H seilirg cream to a grocer and a t, that the cream s from 2', to 27 per cent fat and Is de'ivertd daily, fits (ustoroer complain that tho cream la too thin, and he wants to r.ow if there is some other way than oy ageing the cream to get the uetited body, lie writes that by giving the cream a;'e it Is not fresh enough to endure the ranle-sa-nes- s of the restaurant help and there are always ton plaints about the cream being sour when he attempts to hold the cream a day or so in order to thicken It before delivery to his customers. He asks if cannot recommend some that Ts preservative, or harmless and will not Interfere with tbe whipping of cream. He sa)s, I have tried to get the grocer and restaurant man' to use more care with the eream, but it Is , hence the necessity for some sort of & preservative that will somewhat prolong the keeping qualities of the cream." My reply to this letter Is that there Is a law in this state forbidding tbe use of any kind of a preservative In either milk or cream. 1 do not know of anything that has been found, up to the present time, to be absolutely harmless to the consumer. I mean by this, that 1 do not know of any preservative that is offered by tbe tiade that is harmless There Is a substance, however, .which has been prepared for thickening cream and I think very likely It will answer the purpose of this man. It Is what Is called Wisconsin Viscogen" and It can be obtained by writing to Cbas. 8. Baker Sc Co. Grand Crossing Station, Chicago. This Is a powder that is sold in pound boxes and sent by malL Tbe powder is dissolved in water and the solution added to the cream. Directions for using it are sent with the powder. It is a fact that separator cream usually looks, thinner than gravity cream which contains tbe same per cent faL There is something about tbe mechanical separation which breaks up the cream and makes it look thinner than gravity cream. After such crean. la "a day or more old its thickness resembles that of gravity cream, but many dealers can not wait for the cream to age for the same reason given by this man. E. H.

From the Farmers' Review; Tbe necessity of maintaining a, normal flow of milk during a summer drouth will be conceded by all who teed for profit. In complete soiling tbe Wisconsin Station shows that one acre of soiling crops equals two and one-haacres of good bluegrasa pasture for feeding dairy cows. Partial soiling la an economy that no dairy fanner should neglect Supposing tbe drouth to come about the 25th of June, your first substitute will be red clover. If you have it. Don't use rye; It will taint tbe milk. If clover Is not on hand, sow Canada peas and oats, each one and a half bushels per acre For a succession 15 or 20 days later, sow again. If the season proves wet, your first sowing of peas will be a failure, as far as the peas are concerned, for they will lodge and rot off. When cured before ripe enough to shell, this makes excellent winter feed, being rich In protein. Millet, . sown one bushel to the acre about the middle of May, will be ready to succeed the peas and oats in bO days. By this time King Corn has elevated his banner and should be giveu right ot nay. A plat of acme of the early varieties ot sweet corn, followed by another of Stowells Evergreen, will carry you through until the field corn is right, and no waste land, for every ope of the above mentioned makes good winter feed when cured In the proper condition. - The Bilo is said to be the panacea for dry spells, but as I cannot speakfronf experience,, stlencq al-js Hoping that the star of golden. falfa will soon rise east of the Mississippi, meanwhile experimenting a little in that direction, we mainly rely on tbe method above set forth.
