A Toboggan slile

The slide, which constitutes the
main feature of expense, is usually
about / 6 or Is feet in width and from
100 to 500 or in some instances over
1000 feet in length, supported upon
trestles OF increasing height, which
give it an inclination of about l foot
in g. The slide is divided into several
narrow chutes or troughs and a drag
way with an easy fight of stairs for
ascending coasters. The chutes, when
completed, are packed hard with snow
upon solid foundation of mixture
of snow and saw-dust. The hard,
smooth top is then wet down and al
lowed to freeze, when it presents sur
face OF glaring ice, over which the
toboggan flies with startling velocity,
and yet with an almost absence of dan
ger to the coaster. Far away beyond
the font of the inclined slide the tobog-
gan will go by its accumulated impetus
so that the artificial plane represents
but small portion of the coast.
The tohoggan itself is of Indian
origin, aud was used as a pack. sled 10
carry furs, game, provisions or general
merchandise, and, as formerly made,
was constructed of birch bark. AS now
manufactured in New Engiand it pre-
sents, in a great variety of sizes aud
styles, a marvel of neatness aud light
ness. 1t is made of number of thin
flat strips of wood, fastened side by
side and cured at one end. There
are no runners attached TO it. The
sleds measure about eighteen inches
in width, and vary in length from
three to eight feet. Excellent tobog-
gans can be purchased at from $3.50
up.
Not the least of the attractions of
tobogganing are the costumes worn by
the coasters. They are neat and pretty
yet specially designed to meet the re-
quirements of the sport and to not in
any manner impede the actions OF the
participants. The correct dress for
ladies is simply wrapper or ulster
made of blanket stuff, with a hook,
pockets and waist strap. The colored
border of the blanket is used for the
collar, pocket, flaps and bottom of the
coat
The costume worn by the men is
made of similar material and consists
of tourist or hunting coat, knee
breches, bicycle stockings and mocasins
On the head il worn a knit worsted
toque, which is lkeued to a long, big
stocking, with cord ard tassel where
the foot ought to be

NIX LETTER.
ALL THE YEAR ROUND.

read it my letter, my letter, as sati my rocky
nest;
The waves at my feet were Dreaming, the wind
blew soft from the west;
The sunshine on the tangle-beds was blazing
fiercely down,
And as they wavered to and fro, they glowed to
I heard the cry of the curlews blend with the
breakers roar,
took from my breast my letter, and read it yet
once more.
read it, my letter. my letter, as loitered by the
sea,
And, 1 read. my fancy was flying fast and
Away from the sunny seaboard, away from the
purple down;
saw the smoky, sullen streets, 1 saw the busy
saw the desk with its dusty load, saw the
dreary room,
And ] saw the dark-blue eyes knew outshlnlng
in the gloom.
read it, my letter, my letter, and saw illumine
The graceful phrase, the graphic touch, the flash
of ready wit,
The tender lingering DER the words, that even as
he wrote,
Seemed as Love lowered over them, their truth
and depth to note;
The sweet old words whose iterance, to those that
yearn to hear
But deepens ever down and down, and deepening
grows more dear.
read it, my letter, my letter, then softly in frag-
mentS small
tore the precious pages, and stopped to kiss
them all;
They were safe and sure, the golden words, re-
written in my heart,
1t were surely best, in a world Of change, with
their earthly shrine to part;
So tore it, my letter, my letter, with SMILE and
with SIGH
And tossed them to the sunny sea, beneath the
sunny sky.
To what have loved so long and WELL the flash
ing dancing wave,
To the mighty arms Of the great North Sea, the
thing priced gave;
1t should die, my letter, my letter, no common
mortal death,
1t should be rocked upon the oceans breast, lull-
ed by the oceans breath.
Has monarch kinglier requiem, chief a nobler
shrine,
Than that gave my letter from that rocky rest
of miEe?

rows can be made straight. and the
greater ease of after culture will re-
yay, the pains TAKEN
In an address by Mr.. J. J. Coleman
President of the chemical section OF
the Philosophical Society of Glasgow
it was stated that at about 135 below
zero the flesh of animals, such as
mutton, becomes so hard as to ring
like porcelain when struck with iron,
and can be crushed into fine powder
And vet, as demonstrated hy his own
and Prof. McKendricks experiment is,
mlcrobia contained in such meat has
recovered vitality on thawing, even
after an exposure of 100 hours TO the
temperature above mentioned.
The currant may easily be grown
from the seeds, but this is not advis-
able except for the purpose of obtain
ing new and better varieties, There
is a wide field for improvement in
this direction. a large per cent of
seedlings will be inferior to the old
standard varieties, but this should
not deter us from making an effort
for something better. Some bushes
will be found producing finer fruit
and more abundant crops every wear
than others of the same variety, and
seeds should always be selected from
the best punches of fruit produced.
The first cold snap is when COWS
show the greatest tendency to fall IS
In their flow, and if they can be tided
over this period without failing ma
terlally, it will be found comparative
ly easy to maintain 3 full flow Of
milk when more severe weather
comes. Great pains should be taken
now to keep up the yield of milk, as
now is just the time when milk and
all dairy products are becoming more
valuable, and the money is to be made
out OF the dairy products if ever.
The creamery Or the factory does
the work of a hundred pairs of hands
and turns out ton of butter or cheese
at the cost of the labor of one.tenth
as many. That is, the manufacture
of dairy goods under this system is
reduced 80 per cent Along with this
labor there is saving of time to an
equal extent, for ninety pairs of hands
are set free for other useful employ
ment, or if the hands are idle there
are ninety heads at liberty to think
and originate new ideas.
There is practically little loss of
fertilizing materials by evaporation
when manure is spread broadcast. It
may be drawn and spread at this sea-
son, and SO help on the spring work.
On level land the practice of spread
ing manure on the last snow of winter
is growing in favor. The snow should
not be more than four or six inches
deep. When the manure spreader is
to be used on large fields it pays to
sled the manure out and put it into
large piles at each end of the lot.

The Butterfne War.
American Dairyman.

There is firing all along the line Just
now. 1.-The fight that for while
did tai, now trebly laundering swells
the vale" and-oleo is the cry. Every
daily paper Or farm journal in the
country is raising its voice in behalf
OF the honest dairy and opposed to the
butter fraud. All the shouting is
aimed at congress, and it looks feasible
too. Politicians dare not openly favor
a fraud, and if these people persist in
making andsselling it as an mtimation
instead as substitute it must be but a
question of time when some method
will be discovered for enforcing the
laws that all our legislators seem only
too willing to place upon & statute
book. The argument seems a sound
one, but if whiskey, tobacco and banks
can be taxed, so can cleo, provided
only that Jour congressman can
be brought to see the necessity for do
ing it. We are of those who believe
in the right of oleo to exist as fair
competitor of dairy products; but we
have no such low estimate OF the NOR
al strength of this country as to be-
lieYe that all open palpable fraud can
continue to defy the law and push
trade built solely upon deception. We
would not give much for the political
future of the man who maintains
openly that men should be allowed to
deceive purchasers in the food they
buy. The majority of men in this
country have families dependent upon
them, and are therefore selfshly in
favor of honest food, and all that is
necessary to put this fraud down is to
arouse the spirit that is already on
principle opposed toit. A postal card
to your congressman will awaken his
senslbilities amazingly. You had
better try it. He always keeps a
weather eye open to catch the coming
breeze.

tPresrvinS Fen ce-Posts

An English farmer writes: After all
that has been advanced in favor of
other compounds, it is very doubtful
for ordinary country work whether
there is anything handler, cheaper or
more effective than common coal tar
for coating fences and other wood it
is desired to protect from the effects
of the weather, Much, however, will
depend on the way in which this is
used. To cover moist wood with
this substance, whether it proceeds
from the natural moisture or atmos-
pherlc dampness, is very bad policy.
To insure anything like success Ia the
matter of durability the wood to be
operated upon must be as dry as posi-
BILE. This, of course, is equally true
of paint, but it's of tar we are now
speaking. When the wood work to
be coated is as dry as can be, and the
tar applied hot, there need be little
fear that it will fail in its purpose.
The chief difficulty lies in the matter
Of posts at the surface of the soil.
Many plans have seen tried to over
come the decay which almost invaria
bly, sets in here first, Even here tar
is valuable; but according to expert
ments which have been made to test
the best method of applying 1t, it ap-
pears that the most satisfactory re-
suits have been obtained when The
wood is charred. AS to the way in
which this charring should be effect
ed, there seems TO be scope for ingen-
uity. One gentleman has tried the
plan OF first covering the extremities
of the posts, which are set in the soil,
and then burning the tar off again
This, 1t is alleged makes surface
which will resist decay. If this is so,
the operation is simple, and is worth
trying. The charring should be car
ried to some distance abov S
ground 2level, and after the fence
erected the whole Of it above ground
can be coated to make the appearance
uniform. The plan of first heating
the ends of the posts ard then dipping
them in boiling tar is said to ans
wer well.
