A PASSENGER STEAMER.


made the other day in behalf of i'm
provement in inter-island communi-
cations, the following extract from
report in the North British Daily
Mail on the trial trip of new
steamer will be interesting. The
vessel described would seem TO be
of type well adapted for the ex-
pected large tourist travel in this
group in the not distant future. In
deed the fact of our having two or
three such steamers would be q
great attraction to travel. The
builders mentioned below are those
who turned out Messrs. Chas. Brew
er & Co.'s Hawaiian bark Foohng
Suey. The steamer is named the
Modjeska:-
The official trial of this vessel,
recently launched by Messrs. Ma
pier, Shanks, & Bell, took place
yesterday with highly satisfactory
results. AS mentioned by us when
the vessel was launched, she Is a
steel twin-screw steamer, specially
designed and built to the order of
the Hamilton Steamboat Company,
Ontario, for passenger service on
Lake Ontario, and specially between
Hamilton and Toronto, it being in
tended from the high rate of speed
promised by the builders to make
two runs each day during the sea-
son between these important towns.
The necessity of passing through a
series of canals in order to reach
her destination limited the length of
the steamer to 1876 feet over all.
Her breadth at main deck is 80 feet,
and at waterline 25 feet depth
moulded 10 main deck, 13 feet; and
gross tonnage about 500 tons. The
general arrangements of the vessel
are of the American type, embracing
main and promenade decks the
whole length of the vessel, with a
permanent wood awning above all,
extending from the foremast to the
stern. The hull, of Siemens-Martin
steel, has fine lines, more resembling
those of yacht than a merchant
vessel. Passenger accommodation
being the essential requirement, the
whole of the decks and deckhouses
are devoted to this, the dining sa'
loon being placed on the lower deck
at after end and easily acces.
sible by a wide and handsome
stairway. The upper saloon anc
stairway ON main deck are neat
ly finished in finest Spanisl
mahogany and the ceiling richly
decorated, handsome piano being
also provided, and all metal fitting
being silver-plated. Aft of this sa
loon roomy and beautifully fur
nished apartment is provided TO
ladies'. The promenade deck abov
y is furnished with luxurious seats
and here excursionists have als'
ample room for promenading. Th
electric light is fitted throughout th
> vessel, affording brilliant ligh
when darkness has set in, and en-
> abling passengers to enjoy the even
J. ing trips, which are looked upon a
'r a special feature in the America
II Lake service. The machinery, b
Messrs. Dunsmuir & jackson, cor
sists of triple expansion engines {
the most improved type, fulfllin
ell the requirements of the BIRTHS
Board of Trade, together with til
special requirements of the Cans
dian Navigation Laws. The tri'
S runs on the measured mile havn
been completed. it was found tt
mean speed of the vessel was l6
knots, being in excess of contr ac
u and considered very satisfactory b
u all concerned.

Cost of fKeepinC q Horse.

The cost of keeping horse by most
persons is mere guess work instead Of
careful figures. Mr.. ]. H. Andre, with a
view to enlightening the uninitiated, gave
recently in Rural Home the following es-
Inmates: If one purchases good horse
four years of age for $3.50, it is a good
bargain. A top buggy will cost $125,
cutter $25, harness $40, robe $40, blank
cts $3, comb and brush 81, whip 81,
which amounts figure 1887. Now if we
take all into consideration, these will
last, on an average, ten years. Perhaps
the wagon might last longer, but itwould
need repairing in that time; on the whole,
ten years is long average, as a horse
might be worthless in five years.
If it costs 1897 for ten years, it would
be at the rate of $3.50 per year, and
the interest on the whole outlay at 6 per
cent. would be $2O.22. Add to this
at least four tons of hay, which has
averaged in the past ten years s12 per
ton, $4S; one ton of straw for bedding,
81; 80 bushels of oats at 35 cents per
bushel, $31. so; shoeing, SIS, and it would
be cheap job to care for horse, wash
wagons, etc., for 81 per week, which
would bring the price to s52 per year, or
the sum total of $197.42 for the year at
moderate figures. And yet We find
thousands who keep horse and have
no real business for it, and do not keep
a COW, when the cost OF keeping horse
will keep two COWS, and yet they do not
see how they can keep COW.

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Scab in Sheep.

scab is very virulently contagious
disease, and the scab insects, like house
bugs, are able to live in dormant con-
dition for a long time when deprived of
food. Two years is considered the limits
of safety from the contagion. Wherever
the sheep have lain or passed, some of
the mites or eggs may have dropped, and
may be picked up by other sheep.
Thorough whitewashing with hot lime
wash, with two per cent. of carbolic
acid, of every place where sheep may
have rubbed, and dipping the new flock
in the tobacco dip might prove a suf-
ficlent precaution. n.-Ne'O York Times.

Morse Farming Ticissitudes.

As the greater part of the corn and
pasture land in Norway is situated on the
hill and mountain sides, its cultivation
is necessarily arduous and expensive;.and
for every five years the farmers generally
count upon one bad year, sometimestwo.
Either too much rain spoils the crops or
early frost-nights destroy the corn and
potatoes. But the people do not lose
heart; they try again. When they have
forests of fishery, they make good their
losses from these sources, or they carry
on more extensive sheep and cattle
farming by means Of their great mountain
pastures than the farm otherwise could
support. The Norwegian peasants live
frugally, but Notwithstanding this,
their farms are generally mortgaged.
They cannot compete with the great
corn producing countries, especially since
America has begun to supply the markets
of the world with It's enormous production
of corn and pork. Many are now trying
to confine themselves to sheep and cattle
farming only, but the change inovKes
much expense, and the characterS of the
people does not dispose them to easily
relinquish the labor of tilling the soil:S
it is the noblest--Harper'S Mgazine.

The Care of Fowls.

The raising of fowls is now so COM
mon by persons who are without farm
conveniences or buildings that the hen
house is a necessity and its proper con-
struction and adaptability to the wants of
the flock, and especially as an aid to egg
production, are matters deserving of
consideration. For amateurs or persons
keeping fowls in villages on small
plots the best results will be obtained
from limited numbers, say from dozen
to 25 hens with one to two males. All
the liberty should be allowed
that the premises will admit.
The central point is the hen
house as a roosting, laying and Matching
place, with small inclosed run attached
which belongs exclusively to them and
where they can always 60 when not in
the house, but out of this little yard
they should be allowed to run for short
periods whenever it is practicable. If
let out for only an hour just before roost-
ing time, in the house yard or garden,
1t will always be benefit to them, and
q little watchfulness for short time will
prevent them from doing mischief.

The Women Did II,

On one Of che most stormy, disagreeable
days Of the year, nearly seventeen thousand
noble, patriotic women of Boston went to the
.,olls and voted. This is not the first time
the mothers, wives, and daughters Of this
country have taken up the broom Of reform
and done surprising work for the interests oil
their children and families
Although over twenty thousand Boston
women registered, hardly anyone save the
women themselves) believed they would &C
tually vote.
This proves that every year new avoca-
tions are opening where women demonstrate
their ability, as well as capability, to trans
act business for themselves and make
money.
Women living near a village or large town
can make many dollars pin money" every
year raising poultry and eggs. Mrs. James
l.. Burgess, Nashua, N. H., says she cleared
last year, from only 16 hens, S36.59 for eggs
alone. She could have cared for 160 hens
easily, and made ten times as much. She
attributes her success to the use OF Sheri-
dams Condition Powder to make hens lay.
There is no doubt that Powder is great
help. The manufacturers have for years Of
tered cash premiums to consumers, and
proof Of what we before said Of women is the
fact that every year, woman captured one
of their larger premiums. This year the
first premium is $50 in gold, and we should
not be bit surprised if some woman got it;
If not, she will get lot of eggs to sell from
using the Powder. Mrs Mary ]. Glenn, Of
Rustburg, Va, says: Before using Sheri-
dams Powder I was getting from 40 hens, 5
to Z eggs per week; during eight weeks, while
using it, got from the same hens 8S2 eggs.n

Farm and Garden Notes.

Sec that all colonies are in hives that
are rain proof; lcaky hives cause much
of the loss in wintering bees.
| Where there is one farmer who bctters
himself by frequently changing location,
there are many who lose by changes.
Churn aud cream should be at a temper
ature of fifty-six degrees to fifty eight de-
grees in summer, sixty degrees in winter.
A regular system of rotation with live
stock on the farm may prove as judi
cious and commendable as crop rota-
ton.
Four different kinds of food are es-
sential to promote health and strength.
These are flesh, grain, vegetables and
.a|' ~ is-too poor to keep
pig, unless, indeed, it be so shiftless
and improvident as to keep instead one
or more dogs.
Tincture of assafGtida is said to keep
rabbits from attacking trees. 1t may
be mixed up with clay and water and ap-
piled with brush.
An ingenious farmer and his boys can
put together variety of simple tools
and convcniences for farm use in these
comparatively leisure days.
All fertilizers should be in as fine con-
dition as possible, for upon the degree of
tincness depends to q great extent the
solubility of the ingredients.
The peach or plum tree, when planted
the coming spring, should be put in the
poultry yard. 1t will be partially pro-
tcctcd from insects and will grow
rapidly.
Some foods, like wheat bran, cotton
seed meal, ETC., return value in manure
nearly equivalc t. their cost and are
often among the very best that can be
selected for stock.
Bees emit glutinous fluid from their
feet to enable them to adhere to a
smooth surface; this is what causes the
combs to become dark if allowed to re-
main on the hive long after being sealed.
The disposition of swine is to pile up
in cold weather, and the warmer we can
keep it underneath them the less liable
they are to do this, and unless they can
be prevented from doing it to great ex-
tent, disease is much more liable to
break out among them.

The Cultivation OF Indigo.

In addition to their vegetable gardens
sad cornfields, the Indians Of Teguci-
galpa, Brazil, cultivate and manufacture
indigo, which they, carry, with other
produce, to be sold at the Caribbean
ports.
Indigo is produced from an Indigenous
and triennial plant which the Indians
call "Jiquilite," which Aourishes luxuri-
antly in nearly all kinds of soil. 1t
grows to a height of five or six feet, and
produces long, slender leaf Of blush
green. An Indian washerwoman merely
mashes handful of the leaves with the
clothes she is washing, and never thinks
of using the indigo of commerce when
the leaf can be had for almost nothing.
The land requires but little preparation
being merely burned over and broken
when the seed is scattered. This is done
in April, and the growth is so rapid that
it is cut in August. The product of the
first year is small, but in the second year
it is enormous. In August the. men,
women, and children 60 out into the
fields and cut from the plants everything
green, carrying their bulky loads back to
be stacked up near the boilers. The
indigo must be cut at the proper time to
secure good product, and one weeks
delay reduces it by half, owing to a
drying up and decomposition of the sap.
The Indian method of reduction or
manufacture is very crude. The crop is
passed between heavy rollers to grind
and mash it; this green pulp is then
boiled until the blue paste is precipitated,
when the water and refuse fibre are
poured off. This powder, or blue "cake,"
is put up in bundles of $50 pounds, or
"ceroons," and carried down the rivers
10 the coast. About $50 pounds of the
plant will produce one pound of pure
indigo. so it may be imagined the areas
Gu tivated must. be very large. The
fields near the small village were two
miles square. After the cutting of the
stems and leaves the roots remain
without -sprig until February, when
they branch out again. .-.Nep York Times,

Packages for Mailing Coin In.

An invention that is being used out
West for sending coin through the mails
consists Of piece OF pasteboard about
the size of an envelope IN it arc holes
the size of silver quarter, half dollar
and dollar, with red paper seals ready
to paste across each slot. A coin can be
put in and sealed, enclosed in an en-
veloped and sent through the mails in
safety. If some shrewd inventor will put
those things on the market with slots to
make any desired amount the Govern
ment's postal note business will take a
drop.-Ne0 York Graphic.
