three inch adjustment, enabling them
to be fitted to q long or short-legged
man. The action is exactly similar to
an ordinary pair Of SOULS. The out
riggers have . spread of 4 feet 81
inches; while the slide has an extreme
length of % inches. Fastened to the
SOULS are two connecting rods, which
are attached to draw bar; the latter
slides back and forth on rail as the
oarsman pulls his stroke through and
RECEIVERS ready for another. At the
end Of the cockpit is q pocket wheel.
At the head of the machine is another
wheel Of the same size and description.
An endless chain passes over both
pockets. This chain is connected with
the draw bar, and the movements of
the sculler in pulling through the
stroke gives the rotary motion to the
machine.
Connected with the upright shaft is
q worm and system of gears. This
operates small clock-faced dial, which
registers the distance the oarsman
rows, the same as though he was row.
ing over measured course. On the
shaft, connected with the small dial, is
. smaller pulley, having the same num-
Der of revolutions of the worm gear.
A belt operates the hands on the big
dial, which is constructed of canvas
cloth, and enables the spectators to
witness the exact position of the oars
men in the contest. On the big dial
are two hands like the hands Of .
clock. These hands are connected
with each machine, and as the oarsman
rows through the stroke the hands
travel around the surface Of the big
dial, representing very closely the e1-
act motion Of boat going through the
water. Even the rocking movement
which the ground swell causes is clev-
erly depicted.
Patents are now pending for an
eight-oared machine, as Mr.. Kerns
claims that he can build the machine
for either single, double, four, six, OK
eight-oared crews. The Harvard Uni
vcrsity Boat Club has ordered an eight
cared machine. The most essential
feature of the machine is found in tho
fact that the crew can be got together
and better work done than under the
old style and form. The apparatus
can be adjusted for either light or
heavy men.
The well-known oarsman, James A.
Ten Eyck, is going to get partner
from among the professional scullers,
and they will start out after the holi-
days, giving exhibitions throughout
the country on the machine with
well-known vaudeville troupe.

In relation to estimating the daily gain
In weight Of an animal from birth, the
Mark Lane Express makes some points
from an English standpoint, which it
thinks stock-owners there, in their i'm
patience for early maturity, are apt to
overlook. 1t will be interesting reading
Tor readers here, wherein our cOntempor-
airy states:
At the very outset an essential to per-
feet accuracy in results is in ninety-nine
cases out of every hundred lost sight of.
We refer to the weighing of calves at
birth. This may seem matter of trifling
importance, but with regard to animals
shown at the Christmas fat stock exhibi-
tions, it ought to be the basis of all sub
sequent calculation as to the liye-weight
and beef gains.
We admit that it is not very clear how
this fundamental difficulty can be salts
factorily overcome. 1t is impossible to
tell from the appearance of an animal in
calfhood how it is likely to develop with
age. But in view of the fact that calves
vary in weight at birth from forty pounds
to eighty pounds. we feel that little
more attention to the gains of overweight
1T different periods, beginning at birth,
would not only insure perfect accuracy
in computing the actual daily increase
resulting in q given time from foods Of
known feeding value, but probably throw
fresh light on the question as to the
period ut which the animal is likely to
benefit most from increased liberality in
feeding.
In the feeding and management of live
stock more skill is required than many
people suppose. Stock-owners have
learned much with regard to feeding dur
ing the past quarter Of . century, yet
there is q wide field of inquiry before
them. The expenses involved in bring
ing 30-nonths'-old steer to maturity
are very heavy-too heavy, indeed. to be
borne by the average stock-owner; and
In order to economic this outlay without
retarding the ripening Of the animal. .
more intimate knowledge IS required not
only of the composition and tendencies OF
the animal constitution, but also OF the
feeding value of the different foods used.
The component parts Of the animals
body vary according to its age, its stage
Of progress, and the nature OF Its food;
but IS q rule some 40 per cent OF
water has to be converted into or re-
placed by solid meat during the process
Of fattening. Some 80 per cent OF the
animal body at birth may consist OF
water, whereas Q thoroughly matured

THE POULTRY YARD.

How to Feed Light Brahmas For Eggs.
Overlooking is injurious to all breeds,
but especially so to Light Brahmas.
Corn should be excluded from the diet,
except in extreme cold weather, when it
may be given in q mixture of corn, wheat
and oats, as hot mash in the morning.
Oatmeal scalded and made the consis-
tency of mush, into which handful of
the best egg-pr0ducing foods that can be
given. On alternate mornings faxseed
meal may be used In place Of the fish.
A pint of whole wheat to every twelve
fowls is sufficient for an evening meal,
and this should be thrown among leaves
or chat to make them scratch for It.
Raw meat should be given three times .
week. A cabbage fastened by . string
and suspended from the center of the
hen house, just high enough to make
them Jump for all they get is an excel
lent thing. In short any means that can
be devised to make them work for their
feed, with the exception Of their morning
meal; and even that should be light
simply giving enough for an appetizer,
will be found Of great benefit to them.
From actual experience we have found
that pure-bred Brahmas, by careful feed
ing, can be made far better layers than
half-breeds, and II intelligently bred can
combine fancy points and eggs
The object to be gained in raising
chickens for early market is to have
them weigh from one and half to two
pounds IN the shortest time possible.
They should be fed upon such food as
will cause the least amount of shrinkage.
Exclusive use of soft feed will put flesh
upon the carcass rapidly. but of such .
nature that the shrinkage will be at least
six ounces to . chicken (dressed.) To
avoid this, whole wheat should enter
largely into their diet They can be
taught to eat it when few days old BY
crushing portion of 1t and mixing with
the whole grains. The flesh Of chicken
raised on soft feed presents . shriveled
appearance, especially on the breast after
dressing, which never occurs when the
birds are fed upon grains - well. Moth.
ing can be moro delicious than the flesh
of chickens grown to weigh two pounds

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Rest,

When you are so tired as to feel ssready
10 drop, sit down, comb your hair and
change your shoes. This will rest the
head and feet, and give new strength for
the work which at house-cleaning or
moving-time refuses to be postponed.
That lying down ten minutes will rest
one much more than sitting down has to
be reiterated often for the benefit of
those ambitious women who Sometimes
scorn to rest In this way during the day
time, and others who fear that it will be
known to their discredit If they 90 in
dulge themselves. I once heard Mrs.
Lincoln talk upon this topic, and wish
every farmers wife might have heard the
woman who has made housekeeping q
study tell how to get rest enough to in
sure health. It was the wisdom not of
the theorist, but one who has so nearly
overworked as to have found it needful
to study means Of making good house.

1t is Said
1. That salt will curdle new milk:
hence, in preparing milk porridge, gra-
vies, ETC., the salt should not be added un-
til the dish IS prepared.
3. That clear, boiling water will re-
move tea stains and many fruit stains.
Pour the water through the stain and
thus prevent it spreading over the sur
face.
8. That ripe tomatoes will remove ink
and other stains from white cloth, also
from the hands.
4. That a teaspoon of turpentine boiled
with white clothes will aid in the whiten-
ing process
S. That boiled starch is much improved
by the addition Of little sperm salt or
gum arabic dissolved.
6. That beeswax and salt will make
rusty flatirons as clean and smooth as
glass. Tie lump of beeswax in rag
and keep it for that purpose. When the
irons are hot rub them first with the
wax rag, then scour with a paper or
cloth sprinkled with salt.
2. That blue ointment and kerosene
mixed in equal proportions and applied
to the bedstead is an unfailing bedbug
remedy, as coat of whitewashis for the
walls of a log house.
8. That kerosene will soften boots or
shoes that have been hardened by water,
and render them as pliable as new.
9. That kerosene will make tin tea
kettles as bright as new. Saturate
wooden rag and rub with it. 1t will
also remove stains from vanished fur
niture.
10. That cool rain water and soda will
remove machine grease from washable
fabrics.
