We have found charcoal a er i -
cllent thing to furnish our poiiltrv
with. It may be given in a powdered
state unveil with the soft meal feed,
and a little pulverized sulphur at the
same time may be added to advantage.
Hut the very best way to supply this
is to burn an ear or two of corn .upon
the cob, i charring it to blackness and
throwing it before them. They will
devour every ki i iii l and so supply
themselves with a grateful and healthy
substance that sw eeti lis t he cl op, and

The lUioile Islaini expei uncut sta
tion report says that for many years
the idea has been prevalent among the
f.riners of Southern New England !
that it docs not pay to sow el iver.
There are. perhaps, two reasons for
this one being the frequent failure of
clover seed to catch." ami the other
the fact that the -presence of clover iu
any quantity in loose hay injures its
price in market, ami as a majority of
farmers sell some hay, but small quan
tities of clover seed arc used in seed
ing. This condition of things is un
fortunate for our agriculture iu the
light of the discovery within recent
years that the legiiuiuioiis plants are
nblo to use the nitrogen of the atmos
phere for their growth through the
medium of bacteria infesting a nodu
lar growth upon their roots. All the
(lovers, pens, bi alls, lupines, vetches,
Hpurry, seriuddlH and sainfoin belong
to this class ami arc generullv cultiva-
ted tar their seeds, for fodder or for i
ifi-coi manuring. J
None other of our ordinary field and
garden plants, grasses, cereals, root
crops, vines, etc., have yet been show n
to possess any such ability to assimi
late atmospheric nitrogen, hence arc
dependent for their growth upon the
supply of iiitrog.iu within the soil and
rain water, or supplied by the farmer
in manure or fertilizers. When pur
chased nitrogen is the most epeiiste
clement, costing more than three times
as much per pound as potash and more
than twice as much an phosphoric acid,
hence true economy should direct the
prudent fanner to invent his money in
phosphoric acid, potash and the seeds
of leguminous plants, in so far as he
can use such crops for market, for
feeding or for green manuring. 'The
cheapest manure a farmer can use is
clover seed.'' has become an American
proverb and one in which many suc

THE RIM OP A WHEEL.
EzpUnatloa or Xfhf the Top More Fnata
than the Bottom.
The statement that tho top of a
wheel moves faster than the bottom
has occasioned much discussion by
practical men in all lines of business,
and frequently they have aired their
views in these columns. Our excel
lent contemporary, Tower, recently
published the following lucid explan
ation of tho problem:
The angular velocity of all parts of
tho wheel about the hub is the same.
The linear velocity about tl.e dud oi
all joints In the wheel Is proportion,
ate to their distance from tho center,
whether above or below tho center.
With reference to the ground or a
stationary object the top of tho wheel
advances tho faster, but as every
point in tho wheel Is consecutively
assuming that position the forwaid
motion of the wheel as a whole, is, of
course, the same. In the accom
panying sketch the top of a wheel Is
marked A. tho bottom li. As tho
wheel makes a half revolution,
bringing A to tho bottom and
j ( to the top, these points aro
carried through paths indicated bv
the dotted lines. During the (list
quarter revolution A has gone to A I,
H only to 11, but during tho next
quarter A goes only to A2, while H
goes to 111'. The curve tra 'ed Is a
cycloid. While tho point It was be
low tho hub It wont ahead only tho
distance x; when it was above it went
ahead with reference to the ground
the distance y. When A was above
the center it went ahead the distance
m, after It fell below the center it.
only made the distance n in 1 he same
time, but x plus y equals ni plus n.
The app-irent anomaly that different
parts of the same wheel can travel at
different speeds is explained by te
ineiiibering that it Is the speed as
between one part of the wheel and a
stationary object, nut as between
different parts of the same wheel
that is considered. Jn the first posi
tion A and It are at equal distances
from a poiut in front of the carriage.
In the second position A is ahead of
It in the direction of movement of
the carriage a distance to the diame
ter of the wheel. In the third posi
tion they aro ngalu rven, for one
loses below the center as much as the
oth-r gains above.

August
Flower"
" For two years I suffered terribly
with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after tryiug
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec
ommendation of a friend I procured
a bottle of August Flower. Itseem
ed to do me good at once. I gained
strength and flesh rapidly. I feel
now like a new man, and consider
that August Flower has cured me."
