Two Hundred Millions.


Mr.. Vanderbilt was worth 5000, 900, ,000
If we say that he was worth 100000, 900
or 81 900, 600, 900, do we get a perceptibly
different impression about the bulk of his
fortune? Most people do not. To the
average mind the conception of enormous
wealth is much the same, whether it be
reckoned in hundreds of millions or in Wig
millions. The human mind cannot grasp
these great sums or clearly appreciate the
difference between one hundred millions
and two hundred millions.
Let us try and describe Mr.. Vanderbilt S
great fortune in terms of linear, square
and cubic measurement and of weight.
Everybody understands these terms, and
they make a definite impression on mems
minds.
If this sum of 200, 900, 900 dollars were
in standard silver dollars it would present
such features as this:
Put lengthwise, dollar to dollar, it would
stretch distance of 1872 miles, making a
silver streak from New York across the
ocean to Liverpool.
Piled up, dollar after dollar, it would
reach height of 355 miles.
Laid fiat on the ground, the dollars
would cover space of nearly 60 acres.
The weight of this mass of silver would
be 7 ,160 tons.
To transport it would require 35S cars,
carrying 20 tons each (this is the capacity
of the strongest freight cars) and making
train just about % miles long.
On ordinary grades it would require II
locomotives to haul this train. On roads
of steep grades and sharp curves 10 or 20
locomotives would be needed.
In one dollar bills this two-hundred-
million-dollar fortune would assume such
shapes as this:
The bills stretched lengthwise would
extend 1854 miles, or nearly the circum-
ference of the earth at the equator.
Piled up one on another, close as leaves
in new book, they would reach height
of II miles.
Spread out on the ground they would
cover TAG acres, or nearly the whole sur
face of Central Park, including ponds and
reservoirs.
A safe deposit vault to contain these bills
would require to be % feet long, p feet
wide and 20 feet high.-M Y Times.

Fertilizing by Feeding Stock.

A recent work treating of agricultural
matters, suggests feeding stock as one meth
cd of restoring a farm to good condition.
Thousands of farmers, it says, in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, New York and Ohio,
and even further west, where the land is
not as rich as it once was, and where farm
ers are learning the value of manure and
the advantage of good farming, practise a
regular system of feeding animals to feed
their land. They make hay, grow corn,
roots, wheat, rye, potatoes, and make but
ter; sell the grain, potatoes and butter, and
feed hay, corn fodder, roots and straw,
and even purchase feeding stuffs, and buy
lean stock in the early fall to consume all
these The cattle or sheep are turned on
to the stubbles and pasture as long as there
is good feeding They are then fed dur
ing the winter on dry feed, and as they be-
come fat and fit for market are turned off,
so that by the spring they are all disposed
Of A steer weighing l,200 lbs and cost
ing $40, is thus made to weigh l 1900 lbs.
and sell for $50, or even more; because
there is not only the increased weight
made for the profit, but the increased value
of fat animal for every pound of its
weight over the value of thin and unsal-
able one The feed is thus disposed of at
a good price, and there is profit besides
to pay for the labor In addition, there
is large quantity of manure, which is
worth much more than common barnyard
manure because of the high feeding of the
cattle. In similar way the owner of poor
land may buy cattle, and allthe fodder and
grain, and feed them, and make an equal
profit as the farmers above mentioned; be-
cause they charge the animals with the feed
at market price There is then the manure
left to go upon the land and increase the
next years crop, which makes less purchas-
ed food necessary. As the land improves,
and the crops increase in yield, the profits
of the business are larger. In a few years
it will be unnecessary to buy fodder, and
the income from the farm will then be
more satisfactory, because the expenses
will be lessened.

Care of Implements.

Cultivators, moving and harvesting ma
chimes, and all summer implements are
never past the season of use. How many
remain in the fields or yards exposed to the
weather? More than one-half, it is esti-
mated. How many are partially taken
apart to be stored, and all bright surfaces
properly protected Immediately after the
season of use? The estimate is one ma
chine in ten Are you one of the great
army who wholly abuse or imperfectly care
for your machines? If so, and your other
farm operations are after the same slipshod
manner, you are doing what would swamp
any man who so neglected his busicess in
any other calling in one year.
The average life of mower or reaper Is
three years Properly cared for, it will be
good machine at the end Of ten years, and
with less cost for repairs during that time
than illy-cared for machines will cost in a
single year. Water quickly rots wood
work. The sun shrinks the joints. Iron
and steel quickly corrode if left in the dew,
rain and sun. Hence you lose not only in
the decay, but such machines never do good
work. You can not afford to allow this.
The remedy is cover where they may be
carefully stored away and protected. The
farmer who, before using an instrument, is
obliged to spend half a day or more cutting
the rust with oil of vitrol, washing it off
with water, and then securing it bright,
does not understand his business. Such
an implement never thereafter does perfect
work. Every farmer should be able to take
part and properly put together every i'm
plement he uses. 1t is one of the first les
sons he should learn, after the machine is
bought, at least so far as the working parts
to be protected are concerned. The gum
med portions should be cleaned with kero-
sene or turpentine, dried, and these and
all bright surfaces painted with kerosene
and lampblack of the consistency of paint
Then if carefully laid away where the COW
ering will not be brushed OR washed off,
the whole will come out perfect and ready
for use when wanted No gummy sub
stance like linseed-oil paint should be used.
It takes time to clean when the implement
is wanted
For plows, hoes, rakes or other bright
surfaces an ounce of camphor dissolved in
turpentine or alcohol, four ounces of lard
oil, and one ounce of black lead stove-polish,
intimately mixed, make in this preparation
one of the best and cheapest perfect pre-
ventatives, which is quickly removed by
simple use, but it is no better than the ker-
osene and lampblack paint. Some very
careful farmers have can of the lampblack
and kerosene mixture in the field, and every
plow-share and mould board is painted with
itevery night, and then turned upside down.
The first furrow in the morning cleans it
perfectly. The same is true of cultivators.
If this pays, and it does, it certainly will
nav with more costly machinery.

Cellar Ventilation.


The american Agricultmist for Decem-
ber says: The ill-health which prevails
more or less uniformly towards spring, may
be accounted for to great degree, by the
lack of ventilation of cellars. Farm house
cellars are often filed in December, with
cider and vinegar in barrels, beef barrels,
pork barrels, apple barrels, potatoes in bins
and other articles too numerous to mention.
Besides, Towering plants taken up for the
winter, are here stored away to be safe from
frost, and leaves from them fall and decay.
There are boxes, old timber, boards, etc.,
which become moist and mouldy; and there
are shelves and corners, that anyone can
see to have been only half cleaned, and liza
BILE to be, if not already, damp, mouldy and
unwholesome.
The thing to be is, to provide outside
cellars as soon as possible, for fruits and
vegetables, and all those things liable to
decay; but before that is done, we must do
everything possible to have our cellars un-
der the dwellings sweet and clean. First
the cellar should be swept (hoed out if
necessary once week. Decaying things,
whether fruit, vegetables or boards, should
be removed. Then quicklime, or half
slaked lime, should be scattered freely in
corners, under shelves, under bins, and
around and among the barrels of all kinds.
When the lime has slaked to a powder, it
may be swept about over the floor. IF the
floor be of earth, it will harden it; if it be
of wood or cement, it will help to keep it
sweet. Finally, on every suitable day,
windows and doors should be thrown open,
and fresh air allowed to pass freely through.
The ceilings and walls ought to be white
washed not less than twice a year, for the
sake not only of having the cellar light and
neat but to purify it and kill the fine mold
which attaches itself to stone, brick and
wood, in warm, moist places. In building,
it is important that there should be fue
in one or more chimneys, going directly
from the cellar to the top of the chimney,
so that there may be draft to carry away
the inevitable exhalations These do little
harm in summer, for our houses are then
open, and the air draws more or less through
them at all times Whereas in winter, we
too often shut ourselves up, and the cellar
exhalations draw up through the floors, and
gradually, but surely, poison those MEM
bers of the family whom we most love
and cherish, and would screen from every
harm.

How to Select a Boy.

A gentleman advertised for boy, and
nearly fifty apprentices presented them
selves to him. Out of the whole number
he selected one and dismissed the rest.
'I should like to know" said friend, 'son
what ground you selected that boy, who
had not a single recommendation" "You
are Mistaken said the gentleman; che has
a great many. He wiped his feet when he
came in and closed the door after him,
showing that he was careful. He gave his
seat instantly to the lame old man, showing
that he was thoughtful. He took off his
hat when he came in and answered my
questions promptly, showing that he was
gentlemanly. He picked up the book
which l had purposely laid on the floor and
replaced it on the table; and he waited
quietly for his turn instead of pushing and
crowding, showing that he was honorable
and orderly. When l talked to him |
noticed that his clothes were brushed, his
hair in order; when he wrote his name |
noticed that his finger nails were clean.
Don't you call those things letters of re-
commendation 1 do; and l would give
more for what | can tell about boy by
using my eyes ten minutes than all the
letters he can bring me-" Little things
show character, and frequently determine
boys whole career. 1t is the boy who
does the kind, polite and thoughtful acts
unconsciously that wins his way to employ
ment and success. Success does not mean
wealth or fame. True success means the
development of character that is worthy
of example, character shat is honest to
every duty, faithful to every trust, and chat
is unselfsh enough to find time for kindly
acts that are not forced, but the simple ex-
preston of warm and generous principle.
True success is fidelity to every relation in
life.

1t is very poor economy to starve young
animals Too often they lose during the
winter what flesh they have made in the
summer, and come out in the spring nc
better than when they were weaned; besides
using up time and food to restore their
strength the next summer. We have seen
young stock which were worth twelve dol
lars in the fall, sold in the spring for seven
or eight dollars, after having been fed
through the winter 1t is this sort Of bad
management which has no doubt given
rise to the general complaint that farming
does not pay"

The National ,Stockman enters proper
protest against the almost universal unhan-
diness and inconvenience of the water sup
ply of farm houses. With abundant water
about him and abundant means to secure
hydraulic conveniences the farmer too often
allows his wife to make packmule of her
self in carrying water for ordinary house
hold and culinary use. Hundreds of miles
walk these uncomplaining women Juggling
great buckets when the water could be had
in kitchen and sink by turning faucet.
The farmer buys reaper and mower and
horse-rake, but he never thinks how the
work in the house might be lightened by
the expenditure of little thought and
money.
