How To Split Wood Easily.

Numbers of Woodworking men, who
have never been accustomed to commit
their ideas to paper, understand that any
kind of firewood, or timber that is being
split into oven.wood or riven into slaves
or wagon.spoke, will seperate much more
easily when split "slab fashion /" than
when separated in the direction from tho
heart toward the sap portion of the log
or stick. There is philosophical rea-
son for this. When stick is slab fash
ion the parts are separated between the
annual concentric circles of the tree, one
of which is formed every growing season.
The union between these annual layers,
or rings of wood, is not so perfect as it is
between the particles which form a ring
or circle Of the wood. Inexperienced la
borers and boys do not always under
stand how much advantage may be taken
of their hard labor, when splitting wood,
by understanding this fact. When log
is sawed into short cuts, for example, to
be split into firewood, two iron wedges
and beetle would be necessary to open
q cut through the heart. But by taking
of thin slabs, most of the splitting may
be done with only an ok. Sugar-maple
sometimes is so difficult TO split through

Browning Of eastern Connecticut raises
turkeys, and more interesting still, how
ne manages to realize profit of nearly
$50 on every hen turkey that he keeps.
Having got the turkeys Matched, the
principal features Of his secret seem TO
be careful feeding, good opportunities for
roaming, and constant watchfulness till
the young birds get strong. The best
breeders, Mr.. Browning thinks, are old
turkeys, from two to four years old, and

In order to have turkeys in the best con.

then take the vein, heart and liver out.
The pork should be sailed for two or
three days, skinned down, then turned
and covered with salt; put in brine for
30 days for medinm-sized ham; brine

Thou COP SEEsT ME.--One day the
astronomer Mitchell was engaged in max
ing some observations on the sun, and as
it descended towards the horizon, just as
it was setting, there came into the rays
of the great telescope the top of hill
seven miles away. On the top of that
hill was large number of apple trees,
and in one Of them were two boys steal
ing apples. One was getting the apples,
and the other was watching to make GER
tain that nobody saw them, feeling GER
tain that they We're undiscovered. But
there sat Prof. Mitchell, seven miles
away, with the great eye Of his telescope
directed fully upon them, seeing every
movement they made as plainly as if he
had been under the tree with them.
So it is often with men. Because they
do not see the eye which watches with a
sleepless vigilance, they think they are
not seen. But the eye of God is upon
them and not an action can be conceal
cd. II man can penetrate with the
searching eye which science constituted
for his use, the wide realm of the mate

upon their circuit be able to know all
that transpires upon the earth, which He
