A NEW EXPLOSIVE.
1t Is Called Emmensite and Is More
Powerful Than Dynamite.

1t Is Called Emmensite and Is More
Powerful Than Dynamite.
There is another explosive on the
market. 1t is termed emmensite, being
the invention of DIR. Emmens, of this
country. At recent test dynamite
cartridge placed on a post some distance
off was fired at with rifle ball and ex-
ploded. A cartridge filed with en-
mensite similarly placed and struck
would not explode, nor would it while
being driven into wet, sloppy mud by
heavy blows of crow-bar. An electric
spark being applied, however, caused
the cartridge to explode with terrible
effect, tearing up the earth for quite n
distance around. In all comparative
tests between dynamite and emmensite
the latter appears to have been beyond
question the more powerful. A stock com
pany has been formed for the control of
the new explosive having a capital of
s3, 600, 900. The War Department, it is
learned, has appropriated $4,000 of its
funds for the carrying on of series of
tests with this explosive to determine IL
it can be used to advantage in ordinance
rifles. 1t is claimed for the explosive
with impunity, and that it Is proof
against fire. 1t is also said to be free
from the nauseous gases which accom-
pany the explosion of most nitrates now
being produced. One form of emmensite
is smoleless powder termed gelbite, 1t
Is this gelbite that will command the
attention of the ordinance experts more
especially. For regulation Springfield
rifle, using seventy grains of powder,
twenty-five grains of gelbite are said to
give an even better result than the pow
der. 1t Is learned that the new OK
plosive has been selected for use in the
Sims-Edison torpedoes, and that mining
interests in the West have in view eX-
perimenting with it in coal mines. The

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Do NOT starve one day and cram the
next. Steady, judicious feeding is what
pays.
CHRISTMAS becves, 1888, sold from
fifty to seventy-fve cents per hundred
more than the same stock in 1889.
A LOT of yearling Herefords that aver
aged 1,0S9 pounds were recently sold at
S4.75 at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago.
To MAKE the cattle, horses and other
live stock profitable the owner must
give them thoughtful care three times a
day during the winter.
THE largest days purchase of hogs at
the Chicago Stock Yards for two years
was made December 13, 1889, by Armour
& Co. The number was 10, 439.
BEAR in mind that it is not a good
plan to have the stock out of doors dur
ing the rains which are so prevalent in
some sections of the country this win
ter.
DON'T forget to bed the sheep and let
all live stock receive the application of
the golden rule-do by them as you
would be done by were you in their
places.
If there is hole or weak place in the
stable floor, see that it is fixed at once.
1t will cost 40 more to do it now than
next week, and it may save broken
leg.
Look out that the cattle do not get
lousy. A little lard and sulphur, thor
oughly mixed, rubbed along the back
bone from horns to tail once week for
few weeks is good.

Cooking Food.

Cooking food for stock has these ad-
vantages: 1t furnishes more digestible
food; as it is fed in better shape not so
much food is wasted; it enables us to
feed odds and ends, rough fodder, ETC.,
which could not be made so available if
1T were not cooked, and animals do bot
ter upon cooked than upon uncooked
food, though precisely what the per
cent of advantage is in that direction
it would not be possible to state. The
difference has been claimed to be all the
way from ten TO fifty per cent. in favor
of cooked food. Now, with these ad-
vantages before him the feeder must de-
termine for himself whether or not it
will pay him to cook the food for his an
imals. If,the system of heating water
foranimals should become widely adopt
ed, we have no doubt that the apparatus
used for heating the water will be made
available for cooking food. But if the
advantages were fully fifty per cent it
would not always pay to cook the food.
When corn Is worth only fifteen cents q
bushel, it would not pay to set up a
cooking apparatus or to use it If it were
set up. When animals are selling for
less than it costs to produce them,
whether cooking the food will bring the
cost sufficiently lower to warrant the
adoption of the system is always mat
ter worth thinking of, but one which
the individual must figure out for him
self

INGENIOUS SAFE-BLOWERS.
Not to BE Baked by cut-oTs end Other
Patented Devices.


"It is surprising how quickly safe
blowers get on to any new experiments
or patents that safe manufacturers adopt
with view to prevent their safes being
opened" said detective the other day.
Several years ago Cincinnati firm of
safe-malsers put on their safes an intri-
cate device called cutoff which sew
cred all connection between the lock
and bolt bars when the safe was locked.
This was very effective for some time,
for when a burglar struck safe having
the cutoff and attempted to do it
by the old method for that particular
brand he found his work was useless;
even after he had forced out the 'detent'
in tho lock the safe could not be opened,
the combination having been cut off.
Well, 1t was only question of time
when the box people would tumble to
the fact that the Lock- was not what it
used to be. and then it was compare
lively easy matter to ascertain just what
1t really was. A gang, supposed to be
under the leadership of Spike Hennes-
sey and Kid Mccoy, the two burglars
who have turned actors and are doing a

cutoff up In Michigan couple of years
ago, and not being able to open it by the
old method, they lacked the face-sheet
off and had the works, combination,
patent cutoff all exposed to view. All
they had to do then was to take a few
measurements and observe closely the
way in which the cutoff affected the
lock and bolt bars. After this the cut
off, on which so much reliance had been
placed, did not bother them any more
than other of the new-fangled devices
which safe manufacturers are continu-
ally putting in use to make their safes
burglar-proof. 1t is a race between the
safemen and the burglars. and the lat

THE FARM WORKSHOP.
Every Farmer Will Agree with This Ad-
vice.

Every Farmer Will Agree With This Ad-
vice.
Every farm should have it's workshop:
that is, some suitable place where re-
pairs can be made on short notice. The
farmer who does not have few good
tools and place to keep and use them,
must necessarily lose much valuable
time in a busy season. Farm imple-
ments will give way and break with
the best of management, especially
those that have become worn; a nut will
loosen, a bolt break, piece of timber
split, and in the course of years work
innumerable little things will go wrong
that cause delay and loss of time. Very
often the time it takes going to and
from the regular repair shop amounts to
a great deal more than the few cents the
mechanic will charge for making the re-
pair. 1t is certain, says the Ohio Farm
er, that all farmers can not live close to
town, and of course the farther from
the shop the greater the delay and cost.
j suppose it would be hard to find q
farmer that does not have scattered
about somewhere on the premises, a
hammer, saw, a few augers, and per-
haps jack plane and chisel or two,
but on how many farms can these tools
be found in. well-appointed room,
every one in q place made to keep it,
and where it can always be found when
not in use?
How many farmers in addition to
these few simple tools have variety
of others, such as brace and bits, few
chisels of different sizes, squares, files,
punches and stock and dies with tap?
Perhaps some one will say, if every
farmer was so provided it would de-
prive the local mechanic of his patron
age and means of a living, as he has to
depend largely on the repair work of
the farmer for his support. Not neces-
sarily so. Every blacksmith will tell
you that there is little for him in those
small tinkering jobs that take but a few
minutes to complete, taking him from
some other job where his time is more
valuable.

Liberal straw Bedding.

The farmer who raises wheat or oats
or rye largely, and has not stables fitted
with manure cutters and reservoirs,
will do we'll to use straw literally for
bedding. If enough is used it will alb
sorb nearly all the liquid manure. The
liquid manure will hasten the decompo-
sition of the straw more rapidly, con-
vcrting 1t into a valuable fertilizer.
Without the straw or some similar sub
stance the decomposition of the liquid
manure Is SO rapid as to be destructive
and part of its value is lost. Straw
Is very imperfect conductor OF heat,
hence, when 1t is used literally for
bedding, much less food is consumed In
the production of animal heat, and the
animals arc healthier and thriftier.---

"HAs AGENTS EVERYWHERE"
Tho Wonderful Success of Great In
surance Corporation.

surance Corporation.
| The Phenix of Brooklyn is one Of the
wonders of fire insurance, and one of the
famous companies of the world. Its rapid
rise in popular favor is without parallel.
The familiar sign "Tho Phenix of Brook
lyn Has Agents Everywhere" while ap-
pnrently exaggerative, is almost literally
true so far as the United States is con-
cerned. Should the reader, no matter who
or where, wonder whether the Company is
represented in his place, he has only to make
an inquiry 'down town" to be convinced.
Its agents are workers. The Phenix moves,
and this in part explains its success. An
other explanation is that it is as prompt
and active in the settlement of losses as in
the pursuit of premiums.
The headquarters of the Company's West
ern and Southern Department are located
in its own building at Chicago. In the
West and South it does u business as large
as, if not larger than, that of any other
company. In farm insurance it leads.
Last year its premium receipts in this ter
ritory were over S2,400,00O. "Nothing sue
ceeds like success During 1889 this Com
pany materially strengthened its assets and
net surplus, it's funds now aggregating over
four million seven hundred and eighty
thousand dollars. The company was the
first to pay a loss resulting from the Chi
cago fire. Itpaid Si25, 900 to sufferers from
that disaster and si5o,OO0 to Boston the year
following.
Since its organization in 1858 the Phenix
has paid losses representing nearly thirty
eight times its present cash capital, the to-
tai payments being S37,720, ,62L60. The re
lief afforded by the redistribution of this
vast amount among the people cannot be
accurately determined. 1t has supplemented
credit, promoted trade and fostered all in-'
dustries. Great numbers of commercial
establishments have thus been enabled to
substitute the new for the old, while u still
greater number of private homes have
been restored from their ashes and ruins.
