HOW THEY ARE MADE
And Why Lead Pencils Are Not Lead
Pencils.

| Pencils.
DO you see this fine black powder?
1t is graphite. It costs TWENTY-FIVE
cents pound. This white subst nee
IS German clay. 1t is brought as BAL
last in sailing vessels. We mix the
clay with the powder, and grind them
III a mill, adding moisture, till the
mixture becomes paste-lize putty.
Ibis paste is pressed into dies OF
the size of a pencil lead, but four
times as long: Cut into proper
lengths, the leads are baked at a high
temperature. The degree OF hard
ness is determined by the proportion
of clay-the more clay the harder the
lead.
The wood of the pencil is cedar.
This is brought mostly from Florida,
and is obtained from fallen trees. It
is delivered in blocks sawed to pencil
lengths. Half of these are thick to
receive the lead. and half are thin to
be glued upon the others when the
lead has been inserted.
The blocks are wide enough for four
pencils each. They are grooved for
the leads by saw. The leads are
taken from hot glue and laid in the
grooves. Then the thin pieae is glued
to the thick one. After the blocks
are dry the four pencils of each block
are, cut apart. Another machine
shapes them, making them eight
sided. three-sided, round, or flat, as
may be desired. They are FURNISHED
by machinery, and are then ready to
be tied up in punches.
The higher grades of pencils are
made by finer manipulation of the
graphite and the use OF better materi-
al. The average pencil costs about
one-quarter of a cent TO make. OF
this grade of pencil an opera tor will
turn out twenty-five hundred day

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS IN
AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY
Discriminating Care Should be Observed In
Feeding Horses, Sheep and Cattle In
Wintar-Fnrm and Stock Notes
Useful Household Hints.
Feeding Horses.

Nearly every farmer has his own
ideas in reference to feeding horses,
and especially those who look after
their stock carefully and seek to de-
rive from each the largest profit.
Horses must be kept on the farm all
OF the time, and to more or less ex-
tent at least, they must nearly always
be ready for service, and this implies
keeping them in a good, thrifty condi-
ton. The small amount of feed that
may be saved by stinting the feed
when the teams are at rest, is usually
more than made up by the extra feed
requied to get them in the proper con-
dition for work. In order to get the
most work at the least cost with the
teams it is very essential that they
should be in a thrifty, vigorous condi-
ton, and this is fully as important
during the winter as in the summer.
Horses as well IS any other class of
stock not only relish d variety of food,
but need an occasional change. 10
iced corn and hay or corn and fodder
as is so often done during the winter,
will not keep them in the best condi-
tion at the lowest cost. This is a
good ration, but when fed for any
length of time, the horses tire of it
and need a change. Unthreshed oats
run through a cutting box and a small
quantity of bran added. is another
good ration, and oftentimes a very
economical one; but it should not be
used exclusively too long. Straw,
clover hay and bran with a little oil
meal is another good ration. Where
it is raised ration of part oats and
barley with hay or fodder can be given.
On the average farm there ought not
to be any difficulty in securing a good
variety, and to make sufficient
changes to keep in good appetite if a
little pains are taken.

Shrinkare of Corn

Old corn is worth more than new.
because 1t contains the concen trated
nutriment OF the grain after its water
has evaporated. This moisture in
new corn is injurious, as it leads to
fermentation rather than digestion in
stomachs OF weak digestion. Besides,
this corn shrinks greatly in bulk while
thoroughly drying, the Western or
Horsetooth corn more especially. If
a man puts 100 bushels of this corn in
his crib, he does well to take out
e1ghty-fve in the spring after loss by
shrlnkaye and depredations of vermin.

could exchange two years study Of
Latin, Greek and philosophy for the
instruction that is usually given in a
real agricultural college.
One serious fault Of agriculture is
the slight attention paid to root crops
most valuable aids; in fact, all but
absolute necessities, in the economical
production of the best, and therefore
the most profitable meats. Our Eng
llsh brethren are ahead of us in this
matter, and they have discovered for
one thing that a crop sown in early
summer has available not only all the
nltrates available to wheat or oats or
barley or rye, but also the large sup
ply Of nitrates formed in the soil dur
Ing summer and early autumn. The
autumn and winter rains wash the
Soil rather bare of nitrates before the
cereals begin growth in the spring. A
large part of the nitrates which would
be lost were a cereal crop grown is
assimilated and retained by root
crop; and when the roots are fed on
the land, we may return the nitrogen
to the soil in the manure of the ami
mails and thus enrich the land for a
cereal crop.
