The Indiana Farmer gives what it says
| is an almost certain cure for gapes il
chickens: "Place the chick in the bottom
OF a two gallon jar, or some smaller vessel
and cover the top tightly with piece OIL
coarse cloth, thin enough to permit the
sitting OF lime. Place handful OF air
slaked lime on the cloth, and by sharply
drumming with the finger cause It to silt
through upon the chick in dense cloud
The direct effect Of the lime Is to cause
sneezlng. which act dislodges the cause o.
the cause OF the trouble, the worms that
accumulate in the throat and are so hard
to get rid Of. The substance coughed ~
must by all means be removed from all
possibility OF doing further harm. Bury
or burn It" While there is little danger
Of suh'ocating the chickens by this method,
It Is we'll to use little care in the matter

that falling drops Of rain will wear away q

An old yheat raiser. in the Country Gen

clover sod is a well mRnured, clean titled
crop OF some kind, which leaves little or
no stubble to be turned under, TO keep the
soil loose and open. Having the soil well
fitted, and the right seed suitably prepared
for planting, the manner OF sowing be-
comes an important question. Theadyan-
tages OF drilling over broadcastiDg are 30
well understood that it seems unnecessary
for me to dilate upon It. The important
item is TO get the seed evenly distributed
over the surface and covered alta uniform
depth, while the soil above is suitably COM
pressed in contact with the seed. 1t is also
important that the seed be placed in con-
tact with fresh, moist soil, go that gernina-

Lord Coleridge in his address at the ban

This extract from his speech is worth

The Chief Justice also expressed great
admiration for our system Of jurisprudence,
but he admitted that he had discovered
some Systems in this country. which he
confessed himself unable 10 master. Two
assertions he made regarding the English
Courts in comparison with the American.
One ia that they move faster; that notwith-
standing the popular impression here to
the contrary, the undecided cases are not
piled there awaiting judgement, rs is the
case in the United States. This is the
more remarkable, in view Of the immense
~ greater number Of judges in the United
States. He alluded 10 the fact that recent.
ly, rs the result Of ten years labor by u
committee, the English judges have recon-
mended certain changes in the methods OF
procedure in the direction OF simplification,
which he hoped would prove beneficial.

Lord Coleridge said that the English
jndges take the liberty Of assuming more
the direction OF affairs than the practice OF
some states and the statutes OF others
permit No doubt he had in mind the re-
cent trials OF the Irish assassins over which
he presided With such stern indifference to
technical dcienses, az compared with GER
tain famous trials of criminals in this
country-that of William NJ. Tweed or the
assassin Guiteau for instance.

The Great Bridge.

The great bridge between New York
and Brooklyn has been nearly fifteen
years in building and has cost $751;
100000, and is considered a great tri-
umph in engineering skill AS the
completion of the bridge was one Of
great Importance to New York City
ana Brooklyn and is of general inter-
est to the country at large, few facts
and figures in regard to the great work
will not be out of place. The weight
of the central span is 6,740 tons, and
the estimated weight of crowded
bridge, carts, people and all is 1880
tons. The supporting cables must,
therefore, be capable of supporting
3 3,12O tons, and it is calculated that the
lengthwise pull in the cables becomes
about $4,000 tons and their extreme
strength 43, 900 tons. There are five
parallel avenues on the bridge about
16 feet wide. The outer two are for
vehicles, the next for cars and the mid
die for pedestrians. The length of the
bridge between the anchorages Is g.
500 feet; between termini $3.50 feet,
and between the towers l,595a feet.
The towers are 274 feet high In the
four cables are l,732,086 pounds Of
wire. The strength Of one cable is
estimated at 10000 pounds per
square inch, or 24,62l, ,7S0 pounds.
Strength of the four cables estimated
to be 9s,4S7,l20 pounds.
