building.

Tho most attractive room in the
building to me is the little corner
where silently works the wonderful
geometric lathe. This is the machine
which engraves on the plate those in
volved curvilinear figures which appear
upon the backs of all bank notes, and
as base for figures on their faces. 1t
is a marvel of human ingenuity. Des-
cription of it is very difficult. The
standards which support the mandrel
are not fixed at right angle to the bed,
but are capa BILE of Oscillating backwards
and forwards in plane parallel to the
plane of rotation. The graver is held
in slide rest above, and the plate rest
ing on the top of the standard, receives
on its face definite and symmetrical
deviatiOns from a circle producing
beautiful effects. In the devices eX-
hibited were rosettes and roses and
many floral symbols, snowflakes seen
on a glass and a thousand figures OF
the most lovely lace. The base of the
standard swings irregularly north and
south, the second section resting on it
and partaking of its motion vibrates
also east and west and the upper
section sharing the eccentric motions
OF the other two turns also on pivot
at its center. The resultant is the geo.
metric figures on the bank notes.
The curious thing about it is that no
lathe can be set twice exactly alike, so
that every plate is necessarily unique.

: Ihave spoken of greenbacks only,
but in fact all the government evil
dence of indebtedness are printed here:
the national bank issues, the bonds
and the internal, revenue stamps. In
one recent year the bureau printed and
delivered sos, 900, 900 worth of bank
notes and bonds. besides 500, 1000, 600
revenue stamps. 1t pnce printed
$40, 600, 600 of 4 per cent bonds in
thirty days. All the postage stamps
are made in New York. ..- - ....
When the sheets, whether of notes
or bonds, are finished by the bureau
they are still Ineligible to pass as cur

in it's place.
When the bureau is closed for the |
night all the steel plates and rolls and

The secret Of success in raising and
handling sheep, is to keep them at all
seasons of the year well graded and
sorted up, as to age and physical con-
dition. The lamb flock, if composed
of only 100, will need some wedding
out; there will be some inferior lambs;
take these out and put them in a small
pasture lot by themselves, and il pos
sible sell them to the first buyer that
chances along. Your flock of lambs
are more valuable without them. Like
all young and growing stock, the
lamb must have the best of care and
attention from the time it is dropped
until it is one year old, if you expect
to make it a profit Our good results
have all came from lambs under these
conditions. We have no better exam
pie of successful sheep husbandry than
those furnished us by the merino
feeders of Vermont, who astonish the
world with their large growthy year

The Southern Girl.


Her dimple cheeks are pale;
She's a lily of the vale,
Not rose.
In muslin or lawn
She is fairer than the dawn
To her beaux.
Her boots are thin and neat;
She is vain about her feet,
1t is said.
She amputates her RS,
But her eyes are like the stars
Overhead.
IT'S a matter of regret
She's bit of a coquette,
Whom sing.
On her cruel path she goes,
With half a dozen beaux
On her string.
But let all that pass by,
And her maiden moments fly,
Dew-empearled;
when she marries, on my life,
She will make the dearest wife
In the world.

Cultivate Fruit on the Farm.

If you have not already planted an
orchard do so at once Go TO the
nursery and buy your trees if there is
one within "a reasonable distance. You
want to be certain you are getting
what you buy, and that your trees are
fresh, healthy and in good growing
condition. Experience has taught
farmers that there is more fraud and
deception practiced by fruit tree deal
ers or gents, than with any other
class of men they have TO deal with. 1t
is much better to send your order
direct to some good, reliable nursery,
If you cannot make your selection in
person, and have your bill of trees
shipped to you. 1t is preferable to get
northern grown trees for this climate.
Some OF the most successful fruit
culturists advise purchases to be made
from nursery stock grown north of
where the trees are to be planted for
fruit purposes. Before planting an
orchard it is absolutely necessary to
put the ground in a good state of
cultivation. 1t should be plowed to
the greatest depth possible and
thoroughly pulverized.

This is no longer the breeders text,
but is proclaimed as the result of ex-
perience from every enterprising farm
er in the land Who ever heard of a
farmer who, after trying the Short
horns or any of the improved breeds OF
cattle. quit them and went back to the
natives or scrub stock? A man in the
least interested in poultry, for pleasure
or profit, is not content with the old
dung-hill fowl. There is no better key
required to determine the degree OF
prosperity of any farmer than the kind
of stock that is kept on his premises.
The enterprisine and intelligent farm
or realizes that the best is none too
good, and prompted by this sense of
this right. he is always on the lookout
for Improvement, and a constant and
systematic wedding out process is going
on in his herds and hocks. The OBJ
jectionable animals are going out each
year and better ones are being added.
This is the correct principle Of breeding
up, and it is within the control of
every farmer to avail himself of the
means, and to just such an extent as
his circumstances seem to demand.
This same principle Of improvement
should be observed on every farm, not
alone with the man who handles grade
stock. but with the breeder of thor
oughbred stock as well. There is al
ways room for Improvement and in no
line OF business is improvement so
marked as in the breeding of stock.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Salt for DaIry stock.

!
I We have never had any doubt OF
the importance OF free access To
salt by dairy stock. But we now and
then meet with people who think salt
an injury to both animals and men,
and some have gone so far as to de-
prive their animals OF salt altogether,
except what they derive from the food
they eat-every kind OF which contains
at least a trace of common salt. Lack
of salt for COWS used to be considered
cause of hard churning, and is now
! SO considered by many good judges,
who at once administer salt to their
cows as a remedy for the evil. But in
earlier days dairymen had not yet
reached the point of keeping salt con-
stantly within reach of their cows, so
that they could at will help themselves.
All these early notions were founded
on tradition and loose observation; but
it is interesting to note how closely
they agree with modern scientific
conclusions. The experiments OF
European nations--notably of the
French-scems to have definitely de-
termined the value Of salt for all kinds
of stock. Modern observers have
reached the conclusion that salt is
necessary to the best health and per-
Torrance OF the COW. Prof. Robert
son. of the Guelph Experiment Station,
Ontario, Canada, Gays series Of ex-
periments convinced him that to deny
cows salt for even one week reduces
their flow of milk IA! to II! per cent
in quantity and lowers the quality.
Milk given when cows are deprived
of salt, he says, will sour "a hours
sooner than that given when thoy have
full supply OF it. 1t is greatly
relished by all animals, which els
strong presumptive evidence in its
favor, and there cannot be u reasona-
BILE doubt, at this late day, that salt is
beneficial to them. Michigan Farmer.
