Tire Centennial Work.

Philadelphia proposes building
to cover ftty acres OF ground. The
building used by the London exhibi
ton o. 1862 covered less than half
this space, or 24t acres. TO con.
sttuct this building, 1850 workmen
were employed tor GO weeks, and
s7,OOO,OO6 in gold were paid for la
Dor directly to people engaged IN
tho structure. The building in Paris
used for the exhibition in 1857
covered 80 :cree. Philadelphia
proposes to erect one thirty per cent
larger even than this. The United
States has placed no money at the
disposal OF the commissioners to take
the initatory stops, and the Govern
ment does not stand behind the
scheme, as III France, ready TO fur
Their and foster every successive
movement OF the managers. We
must do the thing in our own rcpnb.
lean way, and No will do it grandly
and well; but first We trust act as
united, intelligent community. in
which each member IL fully informed
as to all the plans and methods OF
action. Philadelphia, where most OF
tho mat crisis arc to lie purchased,
must furnish means necessary 10 take
the preliminary steps.

How Many Horses are There.

The prevalence of the horse disease,
which has so ,iiSaStrOusly affected bust
ness in this city and in other parts of the
country during the last two weeks. makes
it of some interest to note how vast is the
capita, invested in horses in this country,
which has been placed in jeopardy by the
epidemic. The number of horses in the
country has more than doubled since 1880,
and is estimated to have been $500, 900 in
February last. They are estimated to
nave been worth SOS, 797 .916, the average
price of each animal being S73.37. They
are owned in the largest numbers in New
York, Texas. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and PennSylvana-the great agri-
cultural states of the country. There are
also i'm the United States 1.276,:}00 mules,
valued ut S120. 937 BIG. The gross value OF
the horses and mules of the whole country
is $50, 735, 232. compared with 1921 49,, :
093 in oxen and o her cattle; 1929 HOS, 1888
in milk cows; SSS,.71 JOY in sheep, and
Sl39, 1913 ,S2S i'm hogs. 1t will be seen from
these figures how serious an inroad would
be made upon the business of the country
if from any cause we should be deprived
of our horses permanently or for any
length of time. 1t is fact, in spite OF
| the great additions that are constantly
making to the means of general locomO-
| ton, that the demand for horses is rapid
" growing in all parts of the world. The
horse is an Indispensable agent in civilIZa-
| ton. Every one has been made to feel
how much discomfort as well as actual
loss is entailed upon the community b
the absence of horses for few days tro
| their usual work, but it is too early YET
to ascertain the actual diminution al
number which will result from the disease
| now raging. The number of horses III
the coultry has increased very rapidly
since the close of the war, and for the
past year, or longer. the price of horse
| flesh has been much reduced. If the re-
suit of the epidemic shall be to raise the
value of good horses for a time, some OF
| the horse-men will not be sorry.-Boston

Cooking Food for Stock.

The advantage of cooking food tor
stock, especially mich cows and young
stock, is fast becoming one of the settled
questions in agriculture. We hardly
know a dai-yman who does not pour
boiling water over his cut hay and meal
or bran, even if he does not cook it by
steaming. 1t is found to economist
feeding, to increase the flow of milk, and
promote appetite. Cows will eat much
more of cut hay and feed steamed or
moistened with boiling water, than they
will of dry food-and we hold it is the
true policy of the dairvman to induce his
cows to eat as much as possible, as the
more they take in by way of food, the
more will be given out in the form OF
milk. To stint cows at all in an ample
supply OF proper food to keep up nutri-
ton, and promote milk secretion, cln
only be called "a penny wise and pound
foolish" policy. 1t will net pay. When
roots are also boiled o. steamed, the nrI-
tritive matter they contain is more fully
developed, and the same weight of roots
produces larger results. both in the con
ditiOn of the COW and i'm her milk secre-

One Of the Errors of the Age.

One of the growing evils of this coun-
try is the Overweening desire on the part
of young men to engage for life in pur-
suits that have not .'the smell of shop
about them (says the Journal Of the FARM,
or, to be more explicit, to engage in those
classes of business which do not involve
the necessity for practical mechanical
skill, or even theoretical knowledge OF
them. Thus we find thousands of farm
ers' sons rushing to the city, and
eagerly seeking employment in stores as
clerks or salosmen. A portion of them.
with better Judgment, apply themselves
to the study of the professions, and hence
it is that large cities abound with hundreds
of young lawyers, physicians and clergy
men, who exc out Il miserable subsistence,
and who. had Natures rights been re-
spected, should be following the pillow or
doing duty in the workshop. Much of
this unwholesome disposition is due to
what are known as business colleges, the
prOprietOrs of which, by inflated adver-
tisements, induce men to believe that all
that is necessary to success in life is a
knowledge of bookkeeping, and that this
knowledge can be obtained through their
institution in the course OF Il month or
two of ordinary study. Excited by these
plausible stories, and believing, as many
of them do, that clerk ship is not only a
more lucrative, but more respectable,
avOcatiOn than that of a farmer, young
men flock TO the city. enter upon a course
of two or three months study i'm one OF
these mercantile colleges, graduate and
are awarded a diploma, setting forth the
fact that they are thoroughly fitted to take
charge OF the books of any business
house. 1t is only when these graduates
are called upon to apply in practice what
they found so easy in theory that they
awaken to the fact that they have made
n hat
their visions of big salaries have dwindled
down TO figures that tarely provide them
with the cOmmOnest necessities of life
Occasionally one succeeds i'm doing better,
but the instances are rare. Failure is the
rule; success the exception.
1t is not surprising, therefore, to find
business men fighting shy of these mer-
camille college graduates. or to encounter
at almost every step young men in the
fruitless search of clerkships, while Our
workshops and farms are sadly needing
their services.-Scientifc american

jolly Funerals.

SOME jOvial-minded creatures have
sought to make their buryinS an occasion
for a little melancholy merrv-miking. A
certain dyer, of COLLEEN Square, directed
his Borrowing friends to halt at public
house at Westminster and drink a gallon
of porter at the public-doOr; to repeat the
operation at ''The Jolly Sawyers" at
Lambeth Walk, and finishing up at the
grave by wishing him a pleasant journey
over bottle of gin. James Clegg. who,
when he lived, was "a conjurer," dwell
ing at ROchdale, set forth in his last will
and testament. that if he eluded the gal
lows and died natural death within two
miles of Shaw Chapel, his executors were
to invite sixty of his best acquaintance
and four fidders to his obsequies, with
the pro $50 THAT no woman be invited ;
no man that wears Il white cap or apron ;
that no tobacco or snuff be there For
the entertainment of the company. sixty
two spiced cakes, and twenty shillings'
worth of the best ale prOcurable, We're to
be provided. His body was to be dressed
in his ''roast-meat Clothes" and laid upon
a bier. Sprigs of holly, rosemary, and
gOrse We're to be distributed among the
guests, with cake apiece; and then all
were TO make merry fora couple of hours.
This was the con urOr'S lying in state-a
ceremony by no means confined to the
magnates of the land. LAS funerals are
at present cOnducted,' says a satirist OF
that day, ..all distinction is lost among us;
and there is no more difference between
the duke and the dancing-master in the
manner of their burial than is to be found
between their dust in the grave. As
was passing the other night through a
little lane in the skirts of the city, was
stopped by a grand procession of hearse
and three mourning-cOaches, drawn by SIX
horses, and accompanied with great
M tt1mhplIIy
