ded into six classes, according to age.
Glass l includes boys from twelve to
fourteen years Of age while class is
composed of three and four year olds.
The entries in the latter class are al
ready six in number. The riders will
be formed in a procession-mounted

started on prescribed course by Col.

fun is anticipated.

With this immense power at hand
one would naturally fear an explosion
most disastrous in its results. But
such, it is claimed, cannot be the case.
since when the vapor comes in contact
with the atmosphere it ceases to ex-
pand, and instantly goes back to its
original states-namely, air and
water. Therefore, in this regard,
it is less dangerous than either
gunpowder or steam. Tie va
por is thinner than air, and will not
cut the metal in escaping or passing
through the throttle valve. It cannot
be exploded or caused to flame by the
application Of heat to it. A lighted
candle has been held at the mouth of
a cock, and the force Of the air did
not even extiDguish the light, and did
not have any offensive odor-iu fact.

To apply this motor to any engine

Seeding With Fimethy.

In order LO save seed, the land must
be properly fitted. To tit it, we must
have good. implements, and we know oil
no one implement that is better tnau the
Fnolnas Smoothing Harrow, Proper
pre- eparation OF the soil Is one ofsthe first
requisites in successfully seeding the
land with timothy.
IL is a Characteristic OF timothy to
tiller, especially on good lands; there
fore, about one plant to the inch, should
it all grow, would he seeding the ground
100 lhickly to produce the best results.
Four quarts of timothy seed, If evenly
distributed over the surface, would be
sufficient 70 give one and hall seeds to
every inch oil surface. But in order to
make allowance for winter killing ard
other accidents to the crop, seven or
}eight quarts 10 the acre should be sown.
Some OF my neighbors insist that six
quarts OF seed, which. il they all grew,
| would give about two plants to the
square inch, is thicker seeding than is
desirable. But, as said before, We must
SOW enough in shis latitude to make az
lowance tor considerable4o loss for drouth,
insects and frost.
One advantage of thick seedng is that
the sod being more compact, weeds will
not grow. BY the by, this reminds me
that The weeus which spring up should
be cut about harvest time with i reaper.
