An Excellent Varnlsh for Harness

Procure at the druggists or apothe-
car,'s store half pound or a pound
of gum shellac, according tn the guam
tity desired; break the scales fine,
and put them in jug or bottle; add
good alcohol sufficient to cover the
gum; cork tightly, and place the jug
where it will be kept warm. In about
two days, if the bottle or jug
is shaken frequently, the gum will be-
dissolved and ready for use. If the
liquid appears as thick as thin mo-
lasses, add more alcohol. To one
quart of the varnish add one ounce Of
good lampback and an ounce of gum
camphor. Such varnish will not rem
der leather hard; but it will keep the
harness from becoming soaked with
water, and it will keep the surface
clean and neat for long time. A
coat of such varnish will effectually
prevent the oil in the leather from
soiling ones hands. Nothing is bet
ter to render boots waterproof than
an occasional coat Of this leather.var-
nish.

Makes a swee tripping sound.

Down in the lumber mill,
While astride of the old mares crupper.
A huge horse-fly sits still.

And eyes the end Of the maiden's pose
With cruel, wicked lear.

The Blessing of Steam Power.

The aggregate steam-power in use
in the world is at present three and
one-half millions horsepower employed
in stationary engines, and ten millions
horse power in locomotive engines.
This force is maintained without the
consumption of animal food, except by
the miners who dig the Goals, and the
force maintained in their muscles is to
the force generated by the product of
their labor about l to 1850. This
steam power is equal to the working
force of twenty-five millions of horses,
aud one horse consumes three times
as much food as one man. The steam
power, therefore, is equivalent to the
saving of food for seventy millions of
human beings. Further, three power
looms, attended by one man, produce
seventy-eight pieces OF cotton fabric,
against four pieces produced by one
hand-loom, worked by one man in the
year 1900. A carpenters planning ma
chine does the work of seventy men.

THREATENING RESURRECTION IN MoxrESE

GRO.
LONDON, April llth.-A Vienna spe-
cial from Cattaro states that the in.
hahitantS of Antivari and its whole

BELIEF THAT THE CONGRESS WILL MEET
LoNDoN, April IA correspondent
at St. Petersburg says: Notwith-
standing the gloomy views of leading
Russian newspapers, it is believed in
official circles that the Congress will
shortly meet. The correspondent adds
that lac has reason to believe this con-
viction has q pretty solid foundation.
Germany has not abandoned the inten-
ton Of using her influence in favor OF
peace,
\ Vienna dispatch states that Aus

nouncement this evening: An active

ceeding under the modcrating influ-
ence of Germany with the view of ar /

BRoAD-CHEsTED HoRsEs.-Wind is
the grand secret OF fast horse. Good
lungs will cover q multitude OF faults
while, on the other hand, pc rfection of
shape and form are useless when the
wind is out. The chest therefore, in all
cases, should be large and capacious.
In shape it may vary somewhat, accord
ing to the service to which the horse is
to De put. II he is TO be kept for slow
work and heavy drawing, the chest
may be nearly circle in form, because
this shape i. the one for strength and
bulk, to receive and bear up again ST the
pressure of the collar; while at the
same time sufficient room is secured for
that expansion of the lungs caused by
slow and reg ular work. But if the
chest is circular, LEI it be at the same
time deep, or else the lungs NAV be
cramped. A horse with shallow chest
is worthless tor any purpose. The rule
then is this: For drsught horse a
circular but deep chest; but as you pass
through The different degrees Of speed
up 10 the racer and trotter, the chest
will increase in depth, compared to its
roundness, until, for the highest rate
Of speed, you must have chest as deep
as a grew hound and at the same time
not lacking in breath. Every breeder
should keep this rule in mind when Sc.
leci ing his brood mares and stallion. fol-
he IN ay be sure that the shallow. chested
parents never beget deep chested colts.

the terrible isolation of American farm
life. a thing that does not exist in the
States bodering on the Atlantic sea-

Here is the statement quoted from a

states where land is cheap. nominaily-

IL was proclaimed ew years ago
that farmers could buy Western corn

than thev could raise il in Msssachus-
etts and New Hampshire and the lar

what the president OF the board of Ag-
riculture in the later state said At an

A farmer in Springfield lately stated
that corn in Illinois at the crib was
worth only Is cents bushel; in Massa-
chusetis rs or so cents a bushel. II
was remarked by another gentleman
that the average number of bushels
grown per acre in the two States, &C
cording to the United Census returns
was about the same. There are farms
in New England where corn can be
grown at no greater cost than in
II linois, or the West, generally. Let
these facts aud suggestions be duly
