with its tripod only weighs 126 pounds,
aud it is arranged in such "A way that

forms the motive power for loading and
firing the next round. The cartridges

Value of Corn as Food for Live Stool

Corn is so rich in oil that we NAV ssr

ever, very digestible. and in cold weatb.
er this oiliuess is a most valuable factor
as it serves to keep up the heat of ira
body more directly than starch and sim.
liar substances. With oats and barley
it may form ore third of the grain n
tion of hard worked draft horses. and
will keep their coats glossy. and be in
every way a benefit, certainly worth
more than its weight in oats. Fed bv
itself, or in larger quantities it has a
tendency to make horses sweat easily
and, it is said, to become quickly ev-
hausted. 1t is not safe TO feed if as
freely as oats OF barley, as there is dan
ger Of impaction, just as there would
be if wheat were 50 fed. No doubt it is
best fed ground with oats, and the pro.
portions already indicated are probablv
the most satisfactory, the meal being
fed upon cut hay.
EoT cows in milk. c0rnmeal NAV
form with bran the exclusive grain "a
tions, aud may be fed at the rate OF one
pint OF cornmeaI to each hundred pounds

ain as here. 1t gives quality and rich
ness 70 the milk, color to the butter and
abundance TO the flow if the COW is =
good one; but if she is inclined to Law
on fas sech feeding will cause her To
fatten, even though in full milk. and
if she gets too fat she will 60 dry.
For sheep, corn is excellent. bur il
should be fed whole and a little at a
time. For swine, the universal experf-
ence from Maine to Oregon, and from
Canada to Mexico, is that it will make
more and better pork than any other
food For poultry, it is in ;his country
universal grain, but it is not always the
best. It is admirable for its fattening
properties, but for laying hens and
growing fowls, it is not well to use too
much. Corn fed'' fowls. ducks ana
geese are exceedingly 6rm-feshed and
yet tender. They bear transportation
alive with little shriukage. True. corn
makes yellow butter and yellow fat in
fowls. English and French tastes de-
mand white fieshed poultry, with pale
lardy fat, and so they fatten poultry on
rice, and their fancy market fowls have
about as much flavor as boiled rice
The American market demands yellow
fieshed fowls, with fat as yellow as June
butter. and corn is the food to produce
this in ali poultry. Farmsr

PROVERBS ABOUT LIPE.-The com
psrisOn Of human life to a flood has ey-
eI been a favorite figure in every lilers-
ture, and the proverbs which deal with
life and expound its problems under
this figure are past numbering. In ia
pan, the significance of man is forciblv
put in the proverb, "As the stars. so
man is little in the distance, - while the
Persian says: The world is like an Old
building on the banks of a streams
carried away piece by piece in vain
you attempt to stop it with a handful of
earth" The passage of life is like the
growth and decay of flower, and this
fact forms the burden of many proverbs.
The Turk asks, Have YOU ever seen a
day which ends not iE evening 2" and
The Arab answers, Every day in thv
life is a leaf in thy history" The At
CHAN philosophically remarks. Life Is
lot such moutbful thai man should
gulp it down whole. - The changing
state of man is beautifully set forth Ia
the Syrian proverh, Happiness of life
is lik crystal-when 1t shines most il
soon cracks, s" and a japanese proverb
prOn0unces life, Like a moth faIlirg
on lighted CANDLE - an image 10 be
compared only with that Of Job, who
pronOunces life "A light before the
wind. -
The friendships Of life are a fertile
source of proverbs. The Urdu saws
The friendship Of the base is a wall Of
sand, =" and the Arab relieves his mind
in the same direction by observing. a
bad friend is like asmith, who if he does
not burn you with fire. viii iniure YOU
with smoke The origin OF Two
souls with but a single thought" is
doubtless the Turkish proverb, Friends
are one soul in two bodies" s" and the
Talmud declares, "A man without a
friend is left hand without right
The folly of forming friendships with
some people is illustrated by the AT
CHAN proverb, "The ass, friendship is
kicking" while the Chinese affirm.
without a mirror a woman cannot see
her face ; without a friend a man can
not see his actions.'' but the japanese
correctly appreciate the situation when
they say, "A friend at hand it better
than all your relatives at a distancs. -

CASTING BIG GINS

The method of casting heavy ord
nance as practiced at South Boston is
very simple. The ordnance room con-
tains three furnaces arranged in trian-
gular shape. From each of these furna-
ces an iron trough is run, all of which
converge at common centre and empty
into large tank. From this tank runs
another trough, emptying into the mold
where the gun is cast. The philosophy
of this scheme is 20 preserve a fluid no.
mogeneity, and consequently a uniform
density of the metal when cooled. Bv
running the troughs directly from each
/ to the mold this result could not be Oh
tained. The mold an immense iron con-
cern, is placed in the ground and reach.
es depth of forty-fve feet. Through
the centre of the mold, running the en-
tire length, is an iron aIboI. around
which is wound coil of rope, and out
side the rope is placed layer of clay.
Through the centre of the arbor run
two pipes, through which a continuous
stream of water is rnn while the casting
is in progress, the object of which is to
keep the temperature of the bore lower
than the other parts of the gun. This
makes the bore the strongest part of the
piece, and enables it to bear the great
est pressure.
When the order was given hy the
foreman, the aperatures in the furnace
were opened and the golden colored net
al began to run. Millions of sparks. all
taking the form of little star, and ri
valling in brilliancy and grandeur the
cOlors of the most golden sunset, leaped
and frolicked about the troughs. 1t
was beautiful sight, not easily forgot
ten, and murmuTs of admiration were
heard on every side among the crowd
The metal flowed on for thirty minutes.
but was exhausted before the mold was
full, The mold was filed. however,
above the mark where the gun is cut
off, and the casting was considered very
successful. l. was necessary to melt
three additional tons of iron to fiI; up
the mold.
The dimensions % the gun are ::
Rough cast, 120 tons; when finished.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Keep accounts.
Look ont for fires.
Manure may be carried out.
Keep work horses well shod.
Ashes are good thing on icy walks.
Brood cows should be kept rather fat.
Filthy stables cannot tend to good
butter.
In planning for the future consult the
past.
Don't feed hens all corn if you want
them to lay.
How to color butter with carrots !:
feed them literally.
Stable floors should be arranged to
save all the liquids.
Young stock should be kept in a
growing condition all wiuter.
Keep the horses well shod in icy
weather with sharp, but not long calks.
An animal is winter ed at loss that
only ''bolds its own" from fall to spring.
Sheep will live on hay and corn fod-
der, they will thrive on the same with
an added mixture of quart of corn
and oats per day.
Always avoid abrupt changes in feed
ing. One advantage of good ensilage
is that it helps to avoid sudden changes
from pasture to dry feed.
Turn the Young cattle and 'underlipgs'
out of the stalls to drink before the old
ones. 1t is cruelty to let them take
their chances all winter long at the wa
ter-trough.
If you are not saving the liquid ex-
cretions of ;he cattle, to throw upon
the compost heap (which of course is
under shelter,) you are losing money.
This is one of the most valu able parts
of the compost.
1t is an erroneous idea that pigs loye
flth give them clean, warm quarters.
1t take good deal of cornmeal to coun.
terbalance the effect of frosty air COM
ing through numerous crevices in the
hog pen. Warmth is essential to fat
tening.
An Indiana farmer says that he cured
beaves in horses by Withholding hay
from them and substituting green food
in its place. He also gives a ball as
large as a walnut, composed of equal
parts of balsam fir and balsam of copai-
ba.
We do not believe in blanketing hor-
ses in the stable 1t is advisable to
throw on blankets when the team comes
in warm after drive, but only for an
hour or two. Have the stables warm
enough to keep the horses warm with
out blankets they will stand the cold
better when ont of doors
