"PUFFS" OF LOCOMOTIVE.
Four fuffs for Every Round of the Driv
 ing Wheels.


 The breathing of locomotive that is to say, the number of puffs giv- en by railway engine during its jour- ney-dcpends upon the circumference of the driving wheels and their speed. No matter what the rate of speed may be, for every round of the driving wheels locomotive will give four putfs-two out of each cylinder, the cylinders being double.
 The sizes of driving wheels vary some being ls 19. 20 and even P feet in circumference, although they are generally made of about 20 feet. The express speed varies from fifty-four to iilty-eight miles an hour.
 Taking the average circumference of the driving wheel to be 70 feet and the speed per hour fifty miles, loco- motive will give, going at express speed, $50 puffs per minute or 52. 800 per hour, the wheel revolving Is. POO times in sixty minutes giving i,056 puffs per mile.
 Therefore, an express going from London to Liverpool distance of 2ol3 miles will throw out 2lS.oSi puifs before arriving at it's destination. During the tourist season of 1888 the journey from Edinburgh was accom- plished in less than eight hours. the distance being 4ol miles, giving n speed throughout of fifty miles an hour.
 A locomotive of an express train from London to Edinburgh. subject to the above conditions will give 423. 456 nnffs

IN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
Return of an Exploring Party After In
 tense Suffering in the North.

Washberton Pike, an English ex plorer, has returned from the Arc. tic circle, writes Winnipeg core. spondent. Leaving Calgary in June, 1889. Mir. Pike proceeded to Athabasca landing and from there to Fort Resolu- tion. on Slave river. Here he secured the services of two Indian guides ant helpers and started for the barrer lands in search of musk OK, caribou and other large game. On this trip Mr. Pike went as far north as Fisl river, this being the river on wkich Franklin's first expedition to tho north pole was lost. He experienced many adventures, and the party was lost for fourteen days and endured terrible sutferings. They started to cross the Yukon range of mountains to the Pa citic coast when, after journeying or twelve days. they found that instead of being, as they supposed, on the Mcleod river they were on what after. ward turned out to be the Nation. Here the guides admitted that they were lost, and nothing remained foi the party to do but retrace their steps, which they did with but enough pro visions for few days. In two days they were out, and, to make long story short, they starved for fourteen days.
 As an example of the terrible state of affairs, some hundreds of miles were tramped with bare feet on ice and their frozen condition when rescued was simply horrible while some of the party were reduced from cold and hun ger so as to be totally helpless. 1, was aflsrward learned that they were but short distance from the lake, and that had they been in position tc haze understood the location their des tination would have been reachen in a very short time. When asked to de. scribe the barren lands, Mr. Pike said that 1t was an immense tract of barren rock. on which grew kind of moss and shrub on which deer that run by the thousand feed. There are i'm. mense lakes among the rocky bluffs and the waters are frozen in the cold season to the depth of from to 9 fec l. He reports the temperature as low as 60 deg, in tho winter, but in summ CT months, July and August; he says it is very hot. Six months during the year the sun never shines on these barren lands. Mr. Pike is one of the few white men who have succeeded in kill ing the moose OK, and the only white man who has ever trod the path of the Franklin sufferers on the Fish River. The travel during this trip was almost entirely done on foot dog trains being used for the carrying of provisions and wood. There are no laws in this coun- try but those of the Hudson Bay Com pany, and business is carried on en. tirely without the aid of money. their currency being so many skins, a skin being valued at 90 cents.
The Forrest City times., 1891-07-24
Grain For Cows

At a farmers institute the question came up: To what limit can grain be fed to dairy cows while at grass, and with profit? One of the best dai- rymen in the country said: "At no time do l get more profit from the grain fed than in the summer. The only difference between summer and winter is that the hay is grass dried. There are no more valuable properties of milk in grass than in hay l have found the greatest profit from the heaviest grain fed up to the limit of safety" To this no one raised an ob- jection; but all seemed to acquiesce in the assertion. This opens a broad field to butter dairymen, for very few feed their COWS grain in the summer season, when at grass. A COW re- quires a certain amountof feed for sus- tenanee, and up to this point there is, perhaps, little profit in her. The greatest profit lies in what she can be induced to take, assimilate and digest beyond the point of sustenance. This being so. it is wisdom to feed grain when at pasture. If by feeding. say six quarts of grain a day, the extra amount of butter made by the means would more than pay for the grain twice, if Is folly not to do it. Village cows generally are remarkable pro- ducers and it is because of the pail of feed they get night and morning to induce them to come home.

A Remedy for Wire Worms.

Country Gentleman offers the follow ing: The wireworm is often local inseot--i. C.. the same field continues year after year to be infested with it. Where this is the case it is all irn- portant before putting in corn, that the wireworms should be killed through starvation (they usually require three years to attain maturity which may be accomplished by growing two crops of buckwheat or of peas which they will not eat.
 Where this preventive has not been reso-ted to, perhaps the best prevent i've of attack may be found in using soft soap and plaster in the following manner as directed in the Country Gentleman of May 3, 1877: When ready to plant put the corn into n kettle or tub adding sufficient soft soap to wet it we'll. and when we'll stirred up, dry it with plaster The writer adds: If the ground is full of worms when the corn gets up so that you can see the rows take plaster, ashes and lime in equal parts, and put a small quantity on each hill. The first rain will send this down to the roots, and keep of the worms" Tprob- ably cutworms, as the wireworm's work would have been done earlier. if at all.
The Forrest City times., 1891-07-24
A Remedy for Cut Worms.

Cut worms are the caterpillars of night flying moths. Most of them are very injurious to young and tender plants, such as cabbage, tomatoes peppers. corn. beans, etc. They only work at night, and during the day re- main hidden just under the surface of the ground in the immediate vicinity of their food plants or pastures. Many of the species climb trees and often become Instructive to tho expanding beds and young foliage, says the Sci entiiic American. The moths of the species that infest our gardens usually lay their eggs near the roots of peren- nial plants, such as rhubarb, holly hook, etc., and in the vicinity of such plants we may confidently expect to. find plenty of young cut worms in spring. One of the easiest ways to get rid of the pests is to scatter pieces of green stuff cabbage leaves or sods with fresh grass, etc. that have been sprinkled with paris green water. here and there over the area that we wish to clear of cut worms. Hand picking is a more laborious remedy, but it can be made effective Flow the field few weeks before the intended crop is to be planted and SOW some beans over the piece. After the beans are up the patch should Be gone over early every morning. and the cut worms hunted up near the fresh cut plants and de- stroyed. If this is done for week or so there will be few worms left to trouble the crop afterward The worms can also be starved out of piece of land or orchard by growing several successive crops of buckwheat on it, and allowing no other plant or weed to grow for an entire season. When mature tho larya enters the ground, where it forms an oval. smooth cavity. within which it changes to chrysalis of a deep mahogany brown color pointed at the extremity. These chrysalades are often turned up in large numbers when the ground is plowed. Birds of all kinds and even domestic fowls are very fond of these chrysalades Gas many of them are also of the larv9), and many of them are thus destroyed by their enemies, to whose view they are exposed by the plpty
