The first year after building it the
owner sold enough Towering and vege-

cost of both the greenhouse and the

for storing potatoes, apples, ETC., for
some time, and frost has never yet
crept in through the walls, however
severe the weather. The entry is light

no chinlzs through which rats or mice

WATER FOR STOCK.
A !Self-Regulating Arrangement for the
distribution of Water.

A Self-Regulating Arrangement for the
distribution of Water.
A simple and comparatively inexpen-
sive method of conducting water from
the main tank to any part of the yards
is illustrated herewith. The cut repre-
sents a hog waterer, but the same ma
terials will do for watering sheep, and
by the use of hogsheads or small tanks
in the place of barrels at B and G water
can be supplied to other yards for cat
tie and horses. 4 represents the main
tank, circular or rectangular, such as
is ordinarily used with Windmill. BY
one-inch gas pipe connect kerosene
barrel few feet distant as shown at B.
At the end of the gas pipe entering the
barrel is attached lever L, to the
short end of which is fastened valve
Y, closing the mouth of the pipe when
the barrel is full by means of float if
attached by small wire to the long end
of lever l.. Then place another barrel
at c, a few feet away or wherever
wanted. The connection between the
two barrels is simply gas pipe without
valves, either entering the sides
near the bottom, or by right angles
from below if preferred. All pipes
should be about four feet below the
surface of the ground to prevent freez-
ing.
The water in barrel @ will rise to a
level with the water in barrel B, which
can be regulated by the length of the
wire co connecting the float F. to the level
L. When the water is lowered in G by
the stock, it will also be lowered in B,
and the float passing down will allow
the valve Y to open again and refill
both barrels; thus they will be kept

Feeding Lambs and Pigs.

W. A. Henry of the Wisconsin Exper-
iment Station has conducted an expert
ment with a view to ascertaining
whether sheep can utilize their food as
well as cattle and hogs, and the rela-
tive cost Of producing 100 pounds of
mutton and 100 pounds of pork. The
experiment was made with lambs and
pigs about the same age, fed on prac-
tically the same kind of feed. 1t cost
S3.61 to produce 100 pounds of gain with
the lambs and S3.os to accomplish the
same with the pigs Inconclusion, Pro-
fessor Henry says, it is generally sup
posed that the pig makes the best use
OF it's food, but our figures lead us to
doubt the accuracy Of the conclusion.

PORTRAIT OF TALLEYRAND.
A Contemporaries Description of the Fa-
nous Diplomat.

A Contemporaries Description of the Fa-
nous Diplomat.
The publication of the Talleyrand
Memoirs, which since the death of the
astute diplomat in 1888 have been Sc
cretly preserved in France. has directed
attention to the man whose remarkable
career engrossed the attention of Europe
for half a century.
He is thus described by one of his
contemporaries, during his first mission
to London in 1892:
Ellis name )" says this writer, ''was
cold; he spoke little; his countenance,
which in early youth had been distin-
guished for it's grace and delicacy, had
become somewhat pulled and rounded.
and to a certain degree effeminate,
being in singular contrast with a deep
and serious voice which no one expected
to accompany such physiognomy.
Rather avoiding than making advances;
neither indiscreet nor gay nor familiar,
but contentious, formal and scrutinizing
the English hardly knew what to
make of a Frenchman who so little rep
resented the national character.
''But this exterior was mask which
he threw off in the circles in which he
was at his ease, talking in these freely,
taking the greatest pains to please, and
being remarkable for the choice of his
expressions and certain epigrammatic
wit, which had singular charm for
those who were accustomed to his So
ciety. His was the saying cited by
Chamfort, apropos of Rulhiere, who
on observing that he did not know why
he was called ll-natured. for in all his
life he had never done but one ILL
natured action-was replied to by M. de
Talleyrand's dryly observing ct quand
fnira-t-elle?'- when will it end?'"
Equally clever was his reply to Napo-
leon, when the Emperor having said
that if he thought his own death likely
he would take care that Talleyrand
should not survive him, was answered
by NJ. de Talleyrand rejoining, quietly
and respectfully, that he did not require
that reason for desiring that his Moi
esty's life might be long preserved

AUTOMATIC STOCK WATERING DEVICE.

full all the time. The barrel 3 should
be kept covered and in winter it should
be boxed and two or three feet of stable
manure placed on top to exclude all
frost and keep the water warm. The
barrel @ should be partly covered over
with a heavy cover to prevent stock
from getting in and to exclude dirt. In
cold weather it will be best to box all
but hole large enough for the stock
to drink from and pack with stable
manure the same as barrel B. Any
number of barrels or tanks, for other
yards if desired, can be attached to B.
The floats can be made by timer, and
several makes of valves can be obtained
in the market at small cost. Small
tanks three or four feet in diameter can
also be purchased instead of barrels

Horses Color and Chances Of Victory.

Among the cherished superstitions of
sportsmen is the belief that the color of
horses has much to do with their chances
of victory in races and exhibitions OF
power. Whence came the superstition
it is difficult to say. 1t has existed,
however, for centuries, not only among
Europeans, but among Arabs, those
''Klngs of the Desert" whose knowl-
edge of the horse is proVerbial.
In an ancient Arabian manuscript, &C.
cording to "L'Echo do Paris, " recently
discovered is passage proving that the
belief in the relations between horses
color, power and speed has long existed
in Arabia.
A great sheik of the Sahara, SO runs
the tale. Ben Dyab by name, was one
day pursued by saadel Zenatis, his most
deadly enemy. In the fight Ben Dyab
turned suddenly to his son.
'ETell me-" he commanded, "what
horses are at the head of our enemies"
"The whites, father" replied the son.
't'rhat is well, came Ben Dyab's an
swer. "We shall allow the sun to do its
work. The power of the white horses
will disappear before its rays, as butter
melts when they fall upon it.

Tennessee Pearls.

The discovery of valuable pealls in
Tennessee watsk 1kas p4relx accid ental
Two young men q Murtreesboro went
on an outingt to Stones River. They
opened a mussel and found beautiful
pearl, which they took to town with
them, and after some discussion con-
cluded to send it to Tiffany to see
whether it possessed any value. They
were astonished and the whole town was
thrown into state of excitement when
they received few days later check
for $50.
A Juror almost rivaling q gold excite
ment on the Pacific slope broke out, and
men, women and children turned out to
wade in the shadows of Stones River
and hunt the precious stones. But this
excitement did not last long. It re.
suited in the death of !, 900, 900 mussels,
but the discovery of d very few salable
pearls; it was found that it took
patient man and philosopher to hunt
pearls successfully. They are grown
within the ruffied folds of the ordinary
mussel that is found in great abundance
in all TENNESSEE streams. The pearls
are of all shapes, the most valuable be-
ing round or oval, and possess a delicate
luster that is not often seen in any other
precious stone.
In the country districts many people
living along the streams hunt pears in
summer, and there are q few professional
pearl hunters who do little else, winter
or summer, and earn all the way from
$500 to $780,. OF course, man
estands to win" great deal more, and
each pearler is waiting for the time
when he will find the big lustrous stone
that will make him rich. A great many
large pearls are found-say the size of
an English pea-but they usually lack
the ,luster that gives them value, and
consequently it is generally the medium.
sized pearl that brings the most money.
The pearls are usually sent to Tiffauy's
in New York; where, according as
directed, he either sends the money for
them or makes On offer which is gen.
orally accepted. They range in price
from a few cent? to SO or $50, a few
bringing over S1OO. The average pearl
ranges in price from So or So to $40.
There are a great many pearls found
that are worthless from their shape, color
and imperfect iormation.-NGshUiIIe

New York Sun, have a considerable eff
feet upon great industry. If it should
turn out that the supply is sufficient to
warrant the erection of pipe lines and re-
fneries, it might greatly extend the
market for our petroleum products in
Eastern countries. That it will have any
serious effect upon the price of the re.
fined production is not likely. But it
will have q decided effect in increasing
the wealth of the Pacific coast and in
adding new element of variety to the
industries which its people already
possess.

that there was any resistance at all, and
no one was hurt.

It is feared by some that tho feeling
against the lease system among the mi

not be satisfied until the convict miners
are driven out of every branch prison in
the state. Indeed. few prominent citi-
zens have expressed fear that the main
prison at Nashville is not certainly secure

uneasiness manifested as an attack on the
prison, together with preconcerted
