KINcAID FLAT MINING COMPANY. - This
company have run their tunnel through solid
rock eleven hundred and thirty feet, it is es-
timated that they have seven hundred feet
further to 60 before reaching the sink of Kin
caid's Fiat. 1t has been slow and tedious
work, some weeks not advancing more than
four or five feet, last week ten feet was made
having the benefit of gouge in the rock.
The tunnel is an excellent piece of work and
runs its length as straight as line can be
drawn. Part of the work was done by the
company hiring miners by the day and part
was done by contract. Great interest is felt
ious that this enterprise may prove success
full. If the deep ground which this tunnel
will tap, proves to be good mining ground
that will pay for the investment necessarily
made in opening it, several similar projects
will be Immediately put in operation. The
company are entitled to success, they have
kept men at work constantly night and day,
dealing literally with those employed and
meeting all obligations promptly. As an in.
stance of the good feeling displayed on their
part, we mention the facts of one of the
men in their employ who had his leg broken
by piece of rock from blast in the tunnel.
They paid his medical bills and board from
the time CT the accident until he was able to
60 to work again. Such instances are rare
with Incorporated mining companies. That
they may strike it rich when they get the
tunnel through. is the wish cf avery hndv

Worn Out Land.

A correspondent of the Model
Farmer, in reply to an inquiry, as
to the best and cheapest mode of
reclaiming old, wornout, exhausted
fields, says: Sow in rye, if it will
grow at all, this fall, pretty thick to
the acre, say two bushels. When it
ripens turn under grain and all; un-
less you are confident there are too
many grains for another crop. Wait
till the second crop ripens, pasture
it with some hogs, though not en-
ough to destroy the grain, and plow
under in October, after sowing in
clover about one gallon of seed to
the acre. Next year pasture early
with any kind of stock, and turn
under when the clover is ripe, and
the fourth fall SOW wheat. Afterward
follow with corn in the best parts,
with rows of stock peas between the
rows, sweet potatoes on the sandy
portions, pouber peas where the soil
suits, and artichokes where it is still
poorer. When all these crops are
ripe, gather what is necessary for
food, and put in hogs to dig the po-
tatoes, grind the peas, and crush the
corn. Thus, briefly in five years
any old field may be made new.

Mending the Jaw of a Living
- Horse.

In a letter to the Observer, Sere
no Edwards Todd, Jr., a student o
Cornell University, writes:
"a very interesting..and extraor
dinary operation was performed, mo-
long since, by DR.. Law, Prof o
Veterinary Surgery at the Cornell
University. The DR.. is far-famet
for his astonishing cures of the dis
eases and injuries that the horse is
subject to. A horse had broken hi:
lower jaw-bone just back of the in
tersection of the lips.
This accident was caused by run
ing away and striking his lower jaw
with sufficient force against a tret
to produce the above cited injury
The parts being placed in their re
spective positions, holes were drill
ed through each near the fracture
through which strong twine was
passed and tightly drawn, thus bind
ing the broken parts firmly together
The ends of the twine, instead Ol
being tied, were firmly twisted and
brought against the jaw, where they
were held by being covered with q
pad of gutta percha. The operation
wascompletedb by bindingthe jaws SC
strongly together by means of a
starch bandage, that it was impossi-
BILE for him to move them.
When last heard of, the horse
was doing well, being fed on cruel,
which will be continued until
the bones have been become sufii-
ciently united to stand ordinary us
age.

Poultry.

The London Field states that
poultry, properly fed, will acquire
all the fatness needed for marketing
purposes in a fortnight or three
weeks at most. Their diet should
be Indian, oat or barley meal, scald--
ed in milk or water. The former is
the best, as it will expedite the fat
tening process. They should be fed
early in the morning, at noon, and
also in the evening, just before go
ing to roost. A plentiful supply of
pure fresh water-plenty of gravel,
sliced cabbage or turnip tops. If
the fowls are required to be very
fat, some trimmings Of fresh NUT
ton suet may be chopped up and
scalded with their other feed, or
they may be boiled in milk alone
and poured over the meal. This
renders the flesh firmer than it other
wise would be. When fit to kill
feeding should be stopped for twelve
hours or more, that the intestines
may become comparatively empty.

The First Printed Book.

1t is q remarkable and most in
teresting fact that the very first use
to which the discovery of printing
was applied was the production of
the Bible. This was accomplished
at Mentz, between the year 1440
and 1445. Gutenberg was the in
ventor of the art, and Faust, a gold
smith, furnished the necessary funds.
Had it been a single page, or an en-
tire sheet, which was then produced,
there might have been less occasion
to have noticed it; but there was
something in the whole character of
the affair, which, if not unprece-
dented, rendered it singular in the
usual current of human events. The
Bible was in two folio volumes,
which have been justly praised for
the strength and beauty of the pa
per, the exactness of the register
and the lustre of the ink. The
work contained twelve hundred and
eighty two pages, and being the first
ever printed, of course, involved a
long period of time, and an immense
amount of mental and mechanical
labor; and yet for long time after
it had been finished and offered for
sale, not human being, save the
artists themselves, knew how it had
been accomplished. Of the first
printed Bible eighteen copies are
known to be in existence, four of
which are printed on vellum. Two
of these are in England, one being
in the Greenville collection, one in
the Royal Library of Berlin, and
one in the Royal Library of Paris.
Of the fourteen remaining copies
ten are in England-there being q
copy in the libraries of Oxford, Ed
inburgh and London, and several in
the collections of different noble
men. The vellum copy has been
sold as high as f1,300. James
Lenox, Esq, of New York City, has
a copy in his library, which was
purchased by Mr.. Davidson at auc-
ton, in London, in 1S4S, for the
sum of f500 sterling, equal to
81, 200 independent of freight or
duties. The custom house officers
passed it free of duty in considera-
tion of it as curiosity. 1t is the
only copy upon this side of the At
lantic.

A couple of girls'put a bull-frog
into the hired mans bed to see if
they couldn't make him talk. Davie
threw it out of the window and nev-
er said single word. Soon after
he put half a bushel of chestnut
burrs into the girls bed. About
the time he thought they would
make the least shadow, Dave went
to the door and ratified the latch
furiously. Out went the candle,
and in went the girls; but they did
not stick, though the burrs did.
Calling to them, he begged them to
be quiet, for he only wanted to know
if they had seen anything of that
pesky bull-frog. He'd give two dol
lars to find it.

How to Keep Cool.

In these hot days a cool apart
ment is real luxury, to be ha(
far oftener than most people sup
pose possible. The secret consist.
not in letting in cool all, for natural
ly all do that whenever they have S
chance, but in keeping out hot air
If the air outside room or house
be cooler than the air inside, let il
in by all means; but if it be hotter
carefully keep it out.
A staircase window left open dur
ing the night will often cool the
passage of house, and the rooms
too, if the doors be not shut; but il
must be closed by eight or nine
O'Clock in the morning, or,if on the
sunny side, at four or five o'clock
and the blind drawn down. The
mistake people generally make is to
throw open their windows at al
hours of the day,no matter whether
the atmosphere outside be cool Oh
scorching, -
Let US have some air, they say
and in comes the treacherous breeze
for even hot air is pleasant while il
is gently blowing, taking away per
spiration, and thereby cooling the
skin; but the apartment is made
warmer, instead of cooler, and as
soon as they move out of the
draught they find their room to be
more uncomfortable than be-
fore.
Let in cool air-keep out hot
that is the only formula to insure
the minimum of discomfort. Sitting
rooms may generally be kept cool
during the whole day if the doors
be only opened for ingress and
egress,and the windows kept closed
and shielded from the direct sun
shine by blind. If the atmosphere
of room be impure from any cause
let it be renewed; hot air is less in
furious than bad air. If a room be
small in comparison with the num-
Der Oh persons engaged In IL, Tree
ventilation becomes indispens-
able.
In cooking apartment the tenn
perature will probably be higher
than outside; hence, the free ad-
mission even of hot air will be de-
sirable. If persons do not object to
sit in direct draught of air, the
windows and doors may be opened
a breeze being more refreshing,even
though several degrees warmer than
still air.
But nearly all other circumstances
rooms should be kept closed as
much as possible until after sundown
or until the air outside is cooler
than that inside. Let in cool air;
keep out hOt.-London Times.
