Another Wonderful Clock.

The latest arrival is known as the
Troutman clock, and the maker per-
sonally superintends its exhibition. He
is a native of Donaldson, Schuylkili
county, Pa, showing that benighted
region can turn out something more
than coal and Mollie Maguires. Trout
man is German, but speaks English
tolerably well. He says he cut down
tree and sawed il into boards to procure
lumber for the clock, which he male
with penknife in seven years. The
clock reaches from floor to ceiling, and
at its widest is nearly five feet. Around
and below the main dial are groups of
automaton figures that move with won-
derful accuracy. At the top is repre-
sentation of Napoleon and his horse
that ate apple dumplings. A figure
seated is eating dumplings, and at
intervals the horse INDUCES as naturally
as wooden horse can be expected 10
DO. Below this is figure of Captain
Jack, the Modoc chief, who strikes the
nours upon gong that brings forth u
procession of his warriors. Below the
main dial is representation of Jonah
being swallowed by the whale. Jonah
at regular intervals is thrown over
board, the whale ascends and opens its
ponderous jaws, and Jonah is swallowed.
At the base of the clock is a large scene
representing Christ walking on the
waters. A large ship appears with
deck-load of apostles. Tue scriptural
account of the event is narrated by Mr..
rroutman, and the picture is represented
automatically to the minutest detail.
There are number of other scenes that
may be worked separately or together.
Noah's ark is represented with the dove
and olive branch; and there is the
'good fairy and the poor woman"
inese automaton figures work smoothly
and present interesting pictures. A
music box on the inside of the clock
plays variety of tunes.

AGRICULTURE.

To MAKE HENS LAY.-Put two or
more quarts of water IN kettle, and
one large seed pepper or two small ones,
then put the kettle over the fire. When
the water boils, stir In coarse Indian
meal until you have thick mush. Let
it cook an hour or SO; feed hot. Horse
radish chopped fine and stirred into the
mush, as prepared under the above di-
rections, is also very good; and for re-
suits we are getting from five to ten
eggs per day, whereas, previous to this
feeding, we had not had eggs for long
time. We hear great deal of complain
ing from other people about not getting
eggs. To such we would warmly re
commend cooked feed fed hot. Boiled
apple skins, seasoned with red pepper,
or boiled potatoes, seasoned with horse
radish, are good for feed, much better
than uhcooked food. Corn, when fed
to the hen by itself, has tendency to
fatten hens rather than produce the
more profitable egg laying. A spoon
ful OF sulphur stirred with their feed
occasionally, will rid them of vermin
and tone up their systems. 1t is espe
cially good for young chickens or tur-
keys. Out OF a flock of ten hatched last
November, we have lost but one. They
have been fed cooked feed mostly, and
are growing finely.

The bulletin of the American Iron
and Steel Association says that the total
production of pig iron in the United
States for the year 1877 was 2,3l4. .5S5
tons, against 1908, ,236 tons in 1876
being a gain OF 22l, $40 tons, or an in
crease OF 10 per cent. The year 1876
was the year of lowest depression in
the trade. In 1874 the production was
2 6s9.4I3 tons; in 1873, 2,96S, 27S-the
largest production reached. Anthracite
and charcoal iron have fallen of; bitu-
minous has increased. There was an
increase of thirty-four active blast far
naces over the number of the previous
year.

SCIENTIFIC.

Gold Lccc.-Gold lace Is not gold lace.
II does not deserve this title. for the
gold is applied as surface TO silver. Ii
is not even silver lace, for the silver is
applied to a foundation of silk. The
silken threads for making this material
are wound round with gold wire, so
thickly as TO conceal the silk; and the
making of this gold wire is oae of the
most singular mechanical operations
imaginable. In the first place, the re-
finer prepares a solid rod of silver about
an inch in thickness; he heats this rod,
applies upon the surface a sheet of gold
leaf. Furnishes this down, and so on.
until the gold ia about one hundredth
part the thickness cf the silver. Then
the rod is subjected to a train of pro-
cesses which brings il down to the state
of fine wire; it is passed through holes
in steel plate lessening step by step in
diameter. The gold never deserts the
silver, but adheres closely to il, and
shares ali its mutations; IL is one hun
dreth part the thickness of the silver a.
the beginning, and it maintains the
same ratio TO the end. As TO the thin
ness to which the gold coated rod of
silver can be brought, the limit depends
on the delicacy of human skill; but the
most remarkable example ever known
was brought forward by Dr. Wollaston.
This was an example of solid gold wire
without any silver. He procured
small rod of silver. bored hole through
it from end TO end, and inserted in this
hole the smallest gold wire he could pro-
cure !; he subjected the silver to the usual
wire-drawiny prOcess until he had

DR.. Leibreich suggests the following
rules to painters in oil who desire that
their works may not deteriorate; !.
The oil should ia all cases be reduced to
a minimum, and under no form should
more of it be introduced into picture
than, is absolutely necessary. 2. All
transparent colors which dry slowly
should not be ground with oil at all,
but with a resinous vehicle. 3. No
colors should be put on any part OF a
picture which is not yet perfectly dry.
4. White and other quick drying colors
should always be put on i'll thin layers.

SAW DUST FOR CLEANING HoRsEs-l

SAW DUST FOR CLEANING HoRsEs.-I
have been experimenting 10 find way
TO avoid the dust that is so disagreeable
when grooming horses, and have found
a way by which very dirty horse may
be cleaned in few minutes. l use oak
sawdust; that which comes from q green
log is just moist enough TO be good. |
have tried pine sawdust, but did not like
il, because, after a time. the pitch in il
will make the hair little sticky, and CT
a dull color. Sprinkle few handiuls
over the horse on the side that you are
on; then commence at the tail, and with
circular motion of the currycomb to-
ward the head, curry the sawdust into
the hair; brush OFF and apply another
busting, and then brush OF clean and
the dust and dandruff will be removed
without flying around. Ii the legs are
muddy, I'LL the face OF a stiff brush with
sawdust and rub hard Until the fine
dust or dry mud begins TO fly; then fill
the brush again, and proceed as before.
This operation takes off all the dirt and
dust and leaves the hair clean and
glossy.

HORSE FEED.-A great many farmers
think that corn ground with the cob
will kill horse if fei TO him. We have
found, on the contrary, from expert
ence, that il is a healthy food, and that
a team will do hard work on this diet
and keep in good condition. If our old
team were fed oats unground, one half
OF them would pass through them with
out masticaIion or digestion. We have
tried this TO our entire satisfaction,
hoping by feeding grain whole to save
the mlller's toll. If it is necessary TO
feed grain whole, it is best TO feed corn
in the ear. Some horses will eat it, cob
and all, but most of them prefer TO shell
it off and then eat it. a team fed on
corn will sweat easier and more than
when fed on oats, but this does not in
jure them any. For hard driving, oats
is the best feed, and when fed to old
horses they should be ground. The
meal fed 10 our horses is always wetted
just before feeding. Then it is sweet
and palatable. Cornmeal will soon get
sour when wet, and on this account
should be freshly mixed, as horse ab-
hors any sour or rancid feed.

IMPROVING CoRN.-In our corn fields
are often large numbers of slender
stocks bearing no ears or very small
ears. These stocks have tas ssels, and
they scatter pollen and are very apt to
scatter some on the ears of the best
stocks, on the very ears which we shall
select for seed. The different kernels
on the same ear may have twenty or
more different male parents. Now
theory and analogy at least tell Us
that if We wish TO improve our corn to
the greatest extent, We must pay some
attention TO the pollen used. A much
better way would be to plant piece OF
corn by itself on good soil, and treat ii
well, giving the stalks plenty of room.
Before shedding pollen, cut out entirely
or remove the tassels OF all the poorest
stocks. In this way we not only select
seed from good females, but also from
those fertilized by good males.
