Tho saying often applied to young
ducks ttiut "they cat more than they
urn worth,” may be a very unjust one.
HoverHl years ago wo wero speaking with
a woman who raised yearly largo num
bers of ducka and chickens, regarding
tho comparative amount of food con
sumed to bring them to their full growth,
rthe stated that "ducks cat let-s in pro
portion to thoir growth than chickens "
Our roaders inny bo surprised at this,
hut upon giving tho matter a little
thought they will understand tho reason.
It is because tho ducklings reach matur
ity sooner than tho chickens, and, of
course, tho longer it takes to bring
creature to maturity, the greater tli
expense, not only of food, hut of tlm
an 1 trouble. Experiment has demon
strated the fact that, with the same
quantity of food and care, the ducklings,
in ninoty days from tho shell, may lie
made to weigh nine or ten jHiunds per
pair or over, while chickens, in flic same
length of time, como to weigh only si
or seven pounds per pair. Hence tli

containing one percent, of the alkali. It
is interesting to obeerve that the liquid
was not, in this case, filtered through the
soil but the cold solution was merely left
in eontact with it for twelve hours.
It has l*een further shown that soils
have tho ability to separate the alknl
bases from the adds with which they i
combined. When saline solution were
slowly filtered through soils five or s
inches deep, tho liquids which pass,
through were doprived of their alxalii
buses, as potash, soda, ninmonia nnd mag
neala, and only tho acids were to lie found

Thus, when murinte of aininonia
filtered through the soil, the ammonia

tity of llmo, in combination with
muriatic acid, was found In tho filto
liquid. Ill tlm same way, sulphate of
mlnsli was deprived of its base, and the
iquid collected gave sulphate of lime.
These soils which have the greatest
amount of capillary porosity will con
dense the greatest amount of manurinl
substances on their internal surfaces,
will retain thorn longest against the ad
erse solvent action af water,"and will
give them out most readily to tlm root

Again, nintiymanu rial substances exist
iu the soil, which, being insoluble, ex
ercises no action on tho growth of plants;
but by tho slow, though regular action
of the frosts and tho rain, the air and the
stiiishino, insoluble and refractory com
pounds are reduced to n soluble state,
and are appropriated and held on de|M>sil
by the soli to the credit of the next cul

known fact thnt soils which havo been

climatic influences to saturate the soil
with the ntoooaary plant-food, which

changes arc brought about more rapidly
when certain mechanical changes of con
dition are wrought Upon tho soil.
Carbonic acid is one of the most active
of the agents employed in bringing the
insoluble organic matter in the sou into
that physical condition in which it be
comes available as plant foot. In order
thnt this soil may bo formed, it is es
sential that the carbonaceous matter in
tho soil should bo brought iuto direct
contact with the atmospher. .from which
they procure tho oxygen necessary to

From the Report of Joseph Barbiere, Vice
President Tmixture State C'ommimon
Centennial Exhibition of 1870, on Cook <k
Heath's Priton Contlrwiion:
The following in a synopsis of the re
port of Vioo-Prealdcnt Joseph Barbiere,
of the Tennessee Centennial Commission,
on the only Invention a citizen of Mem
phis had at tho Nation’s Centennial.
Tho report, while lengthy, is neverthe
less a just ono, due to tho pluck and ge
nius of tho enterprising gentlemen who
introducing this valuable aid to tho
economy of our prison system. Messrs.
Cook & Heath, in connection with tho
greAt works of Randle, neath A Liver-
doing a grand work for Mem
phis, In manufacturing, thus furnishing
ployment for our mechanic and la
boring clause*. This is the leading es
tablishment of the Southwest, and de
servedly »o. Wo are particularly pleased
our friend Livermore, of the rail
road past, take so naturally to the iron
manufacturing interests, thus adding
complete force to what is known as oi
of the strongest teams in the iron eco
omy of the country:
Among the exhibits in tho Govern
ment Building wa* one which deeerved
interest than it would naturally
awaken in the average sightseeing
rowd. It was in tho Patent Office De
partment; being a model, illustrating
improvements in the construction of
prisons and penitentiaries, invented and
patented by Messrs. Cook A Heath, of
Moinphis. They have di voloped a com
plete system of prison construction, oov-
ering not one jsilnt alone, hut nil tho
points in which the customary methods
iiuve shown themselves incomplete nnd
faulty. The chief (>«int arrived at is
jierfcct security with economy, while at
the same time the system is designed to
allow of the highest perfection In warm
ing, ventilation, nnd healthful arrange
ment, and also admit of the finest archi
tectural design of exterior. Tho system
is remarkahlo In presenting so many im
provements which are quite original,and
railed* great credit upon the inventor*
for their pains taking thought and the
large amount of time and money which
must knvc l>e«n s|*ent in developing it.
The first noticeable feature of the in
vention Is the predominating use of iron.
In their initial (dan for prisons the coll
is made of (dates of cost iron, so fastened
together thnt no rivets or bolt* are ex-
|x>Aed to tho operations of the prisoner*
from the insido. The floor of tho cell is
made of platen of cast Iron, two feet wide,
running ncross the cell, anil each one sup
ported by a lip on the edge of the next.
The sides nro constructed in tho same
manner, and in the partition walls one
Igo ot each plate, which stands verti
cally, is let into a groove formed in the
edge of the uoxt; so t hat the first step
in tho construction wf a cell is to build
cast-iron box, the top, sides and l>ot-
toui of which aro fitted into and support
each othor. Outsido of this Is built a
solid hulkhend of wnod, nnd the exterior
of tho building finished off iu n very
desirable manner with brick, stone,
obd or iron outsido of all, making, al
together, a csinpnrtment from which
skilled mechanic*, with the best tools
1 appliances of their profession, can
efit thoir way out only with severe nnd
protracted Inlmr, nnd the Job becomes
julte an impossible one for prisoners un-
dor surveillance. Proper ventilation is
also attained without impairing the se
curity. Cast-Iron windows and door
frames of ample sixe aro built into the
walls in such a manner thnt they cannot
be removed without actually taking tho
walls down. In tho frames are inserted
rnM-iron windows and doors, three indies
thick, perforated with holes largo enough
to adroit an abundance of light nnd air,
but still quite secure from any attempt
to break through. The ordinary glazed
window sash is placed inside of this caHt
window. Here the Advantage of cast-
iron over the usual wrought liars is
strikingly apparent. The most effective
tool which the prisoner is usually able to
obtain is n saw, made from a oase knife,
a corset steel or watch spring, and with
this a wrought Iron bar may he cut off
n few hours. Two ham cat off nnd
forced aside will generally make a hole
large enou ;h to pass a man; but more
than ten times thnt amount of iron must
lx* Hawed through to make a hols large
enough in the east wiudow. Moreover,
the cast iron can he chilled so that the
best steel saw will not cut it.
Hut the most important and novel im
provement, and the one which promises
to bo th* crowning point of success is th
hollow wall filled with dry sand or other
mobile material which will run rapidly
through even a small hole, and effectually
prevent any operation beyond the first
shell. To wall out u body of mobile ma
terial so as to allow of working beyond
the hollow space is an operation the dif
ficulty of which can be appreciated only ,
by those who have had some experience
with loose sand. In addition to the dif
ficulty of getting through a body of!
loose sand, weights are placed within it,
connected with a suitable alarm,
as soon as the sand begin
running out, the alarm
proper attention to tho prisoner folli
The alarm
in th* office of the highest official, and
any attempt to escape frustrated in spite
of inefficient or corrupt subordinates.
These hollow walls may even be made
of wood, easily cut through,
filling will wtiil afi<
into the spaces as fast as they
emptied below, with also an effective
alarm connection, we have a prison wall
which seems to be absolutely perfect.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that
the sand filling reuders the wall imper
vious to dampness or heat, and also when
put in partition wall* is the best pre
ventive of communication by sound from
cell to cell.
Tho cast window and door frames are
built in with the hollow wall as with the
other. Even brick, which alone make
the worst material f**r a prison wall, may
be used with safety in the construction
of the hollow wall
An improvement iu the lock must be
noticed. Tho lock is fastened to the
cast-iron door, not by bolts or rivets but
by being slid into a dovetailed groove
recess, and this pro toe la the criminal
from the fury of the outside mob, which
cannot, with a few blows of cold chisel
and sledge, remove the lock ami open
the door, but must cut through the solid
door, anywhere caaier than around the
lock.
The model on exhibition shows th
cell stilted on hollow cast-iron column/
which plan, in some coses, may bo ad
visable or necessary, as affording
complete security against any attempt
to cscA|*e by cutting through the floor
of the cell. It gives the watchman o
tnand nt all timos of the ojwn space
der the cells, and also allows repain
the sewerage and WHtor-pi(<e* which pa*«
through the columns, without destroy
ing the floor or foundation of the cell.
munication between a serios of
stilted cells and the main building may
i>e made by means of a draw-bridge,
which can lie raised and all connection
cut off whenever desired.
An oblique door with perforated jamb
is one of the improvements included in
this system. It is designed to give ven
tilation and nn opportunity to inspect
the cells, without permitting the occu
pants to look from one cell into another.
Altogether tho method of prison con
struction which has been developed by
Meiwr*. Cook A Heath seems to be far in
advance of the methods heretofore de
veloped, in security, in healthful arrange
ment, in economy, and iu adaptation not
only to every form of structure designed
for the confinement of (arsons, hut also
to hank vaults nnd safe deposits, where
property is to Ihj secured from outside
attacks.
Tho gratitude of the public is due to
those who have placed in the hands of
Justice a tool so efficient as a prison from ; to
which there is, practically, no escape, j r> ,
