A Weapon Destined to Play n Great Part
I'm Future Wars.
An automatic three-pounder gun,
which seems destined to play great
part in the warlike operations of the
future, was tested at Erith in presence
of the representatives OF the War Office,
who were so greatly struck by its per-
formance that the Maxim company
has been requested to construct
.twelve-pounder upon the same princi.
pie. About six years ago, when Mr.
Maxim began his experiments in auto.
matic gunnery, he made certain alter
ations in Martini-Henry rife so that
when 1t was fred the reooil opened the
breech by dropping the block In the
ordinary way, the block remaining
down until another cartridge was
placed in position, when the
breech automatically closed and
the trigger could be again
pulled. The gun lately tried is merely
an application of this system on q
larger scale. 1t has the appearance of
the ordinary quick-firing 3-pounder, is
mounted on a cone in the same man
ner, and is trained by a crutcb
on which the shoulder of the
gunner rests, When the gun is loaded
and the trigger is pulled the barrel of
the gun recoils distance OF four
inches, the breech remaining closed |
during the recoil, When, however,
the barrel returns to the firing posia
tion, the breech=blpok is thrawn down.

empty cartridge 10 elected, the breech.
block remaining down until another
cartridge Is introduced. The act OF
placing the cartridge In the chamber
liberates the block, which rises
closing the breech, and
the gun can be fired again. After
firing the gun in the way described, the
trigger was fixed in the pulled position,
a cartridge was thrust into the cham
Der, and when the breech closed the
cartridge was fred, ana its empty shell
elected. On Introducing another cart
ridge it was fired in the same way
without the intervention Of the trigger,
and so on with an indefinite number Of
cartridges, the gun doing all the work
except that of placing the cartridges In
The chamber. The gun weighs no
more than that Of the ordinary quiclS.j

FOOD FOR HORSES.

The Advantage Of Hrulsed Oats Over
Whole Clearly Demonstrated.
The hard-working horse is often
guilty OF what many farmers look upon
as an objectionable habit--oat bolting.
That Is, they are so anious to get their
feed that they swallow their oats with
out mastication, the result being that
much OF the grain passes through the
animal undigested. In such cases a
few whole peas mixed among the oats
are useful. The horse is very fond of
them, and in chewing them can not
help masticating the oats also. But
bruised oats are better for horses in
the long run than whole grain fed with
or without other coarse food. The ad-
vantage OF bruised oats over whole in
horse feeding was recently well demon
strated by an experiment made hy
the London Omnibus Company, which
owns some six thousand head of horses.
One half of the horses were confined
to one kind of feeding, viz, THAT Oh
bruised oats and out hay and straw,
and the other half to whole oats and
hay. The ration allowed per day to .
each horse according to the one sys-
TEN was, bruised oats, 10 pounds; cut
hay, u pounds; out straw, % pounds.
The quantity allowed, according to the
old system, was, unbruised oats, 19
pounds; uncut hay, IS pounds, There
was thus a saving of 6 pounds on the
feeding of each horse, and this saving
was not merely in the quantity but in
the value OF the article employed, for
straw in the former case took the place
OF hay in the latter. The advantage of
one kind OF feeding over the other
becomes far more apparentg when
reduced TO money value. = The
saving q by. using the bruised oats
and cut hay Is nearly FIVE cents per day
for each horse, which Is equal 20
$Sl2,50 per day foP 6, 900 horses This |
saving was accomplished without. any
sacrifice whatever. for. all the drivers
and those having charge OF the horses
agreed that the difference in the con-
dition Of the horses was decidedly in
favor OF those 9on bruised oats md cut
hay and straw. Five cents saved each
day on the feeding OF a horse is not a
large sum certainly, but it is this prin-
cipie OF saving small Sums I'M every de-
partments Of the farm management
that really produces the best results.
The best methods are those which can
be carried out at less expense than
hose commonly in vogue, and yet
prove more profitable TO the farmer

Eprptabie History.

Judea was famous not only for its
"garden CT cucumbers," but for the
great size of its rAdishes. The Talmul
speaks of fox following out a radish
of Judea for its lair. The Greeks
off.red radishes of gold, beets of silver
and turn FPS of lead to Apollo at Delphi.
They usually boiled their radishes, and
the French peasants at the present day
roast them under ashes.
Radishes suggest lettuce, which has
an equal antiquity. The Hebrews ate
it with their paschal lamb, and it was
favorite vegetable with the Greeks and
Romans. Aristoxenus, the philosopher
and gastronomist, watered his lettuces
with the rarest wine. Cabbage used to
be endowed with m marvellous medicinal
and nutritlve virtues. Cato considered
the red kind to be cure for drunken
ness, and said that ''by the use of cab
bage alone Rome had done without
physicians for 900 years" Cauifower
was also abundantly cultivated. Both
1t ana CABBAGE were plentiful IN Eng
land in Mary's reign.
The onion was once the deity by
whom the Egyptians swore. The mother
of Apollo was particularly fond of this
esculent, and preferred it raw. Leeks
are probable indigenous to England
Garlic is dear to the Spanish heart.
Parsley, few leaves of which eater
raw will effectually neutralize the odoI
of the onion, is we'll known in history
BY Anacreon it was made the emblem
of joy and fsstivity. Hercules wa
crowned with it in preference to laurels
and wreath of parsley was one of tn
prizes at the Nemean and Isthmial

Rn the Poultry n ard.


In feeding poultry, says correspon-
dent in the New York World, the old
and experienced birds usually get the
lions share of the food. A simple old
hen with brood of chickens, when fed
by herself, will throw herself into such
ecstacies that with the noise she makes
she will attract the attention of every
other fowl on the premises, which loses
no time in hurrying to the spot to help
with the lunch, aud then it is bad for
the chicks.
To remedy this, pieces of lath may be
sharpened at one end and driven into
the ground to form circle or any space
large enough to make a feeding place
for the small chicks, and the lath must
be near enough together to admit of
the little fowls going through, and yet
to exclude the large ones.
A hen and her brood thrive better
when they are permitted to run out
than when confined to the coup. Fowls
permitted unlimited runs will pick up
nearly all the food required for them
selves and their chickens.
Turkeys thrive better to be shut up
for two or three weeks, for there Is
hardly any kind of fowl known as ten
der as a young turkey. Going through
the wet grass, following the mother
turkey, is very bad exercise for them
and many of the mother fowls have no
discretion where they set down their
big feet, and often fatten out
young turkey, seemingly
in pure Observation-Disclosures. A
hen makes O much better mother OF
young turkeys than the turkey does,
and it is customary to set turkeys eggs
under hens on this account. A hen
seems to have a sense of proprioty and
moderates her gait to what young ones
can bear. and is much moro apt to
bring whole brood throu III safely
| than is q turkey.
Porcelain eggs are useful for nest
eggs; they will not freeze. The profit;
of poultry-raising for the sale of egg
and chickens, as we'll as for use at hi:
own table, have hardly received the
attention the subject merits at tn
hands Of the farmer. It is one Of tn
least troublesome aad inexponslv,
branches of husbandry that he has tt
look after, and pays better than man!
other things, even when very mucl
neglected.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1888-11-15

J. G. Allen of Winters, Cal, one of
the substantial and Intelligent farmers
of Yolo county, informs US that for the
last IS years, uatil this season, nine
straws out of ten in all our wheat fields,
contained in the upper joint o small
worm, red or pale red il color, and
about one-cighth of an inch il length.
This season, he says, the worm was
not found in more than one straw in
ten, and to this he attributes the fact
that the wheat crop OF Yolo was third
greater than was predicted OF expected
by the farmers. Mr.. Allen proposes
prosecuting his investigation further,
and learning, if possible, from whence
this little parasite comes and what his
afterlifo produces. If, as Mr.. Allen
believes, the reduced product OF our
wheat-felds during the last 10 years is
chareeable to this intruder rather than
to the exhaustion Of tho soil, it is ce1
tainly an important matter, and should
engage the serious attention OF our state

Shade in Pasture.

Mr.. A. L. Crosby in letter to the BIZ
mira Club urging the humanity Of
shielding animals at pasture by pro-
vision of trees, or other shady retreats,
points out that cattle cannot feed all
day, owing to the simple fact that they
have not space to store away the food,
and adds:
'Thcy eat until they fill up the rumen,
and then remasticate what they have
swallowed and thus make room for
more. Now, the question is, will a
COW enjoy herself more while lying
quietly in cool place chewing the cud,
or standing in the hot sum-? Assuming
the cows choice to be in the shade, the
next ques ton is, will she not make
more and richer milk while Illuminating
in a pleasant place than il hot oneF
think she will, and think a steer will
lay on NOR, flesh while comfortable
than in the opposite condition. The
more contented you make all domestic
animals the greater tho profit in the
food consumed. y New York Tribune.
