head. and pass out under the headland
known as the Gobbins; enter Wigton-
shire outside of Loch RYAN, at Portobello.
and passing under Wiersbon Hill, connect
at Stranraer with an existing line of rail-
way.
The heaviest gradient proposed is in
IS. In the Mt. Gents, st. Gothard and
Arleburg tunnels the average is l in 40:
the Mersey tunnel is still deeper, while the
Severn has a hatter gradient of l in 80.
No fears are entertained of trouble from
water entering the tunnel; and in this
view Mr.. Barton is supported by Sir John
Hawshaw, Sir Douglas Fox, Sir Benia-
min Baker and other prominent engineers.
The proposed tunnel would have $50 feet
of rock betwe,n the roof and the bed of
the sea. The rock is only 80 feet thick
above the Mersey tunnel, and 40 feet in
the Savern.
As to cost, it is estimated that this
would not be more than in long tunnels
thrC ugh mountains. Judging from past
experience the cost here is put at $500 per
lin. yd. The shafts, pumping plant, ad-
ditional railways, etc. are estimated at
s., 305 900, and the total estimate, with
10 per cent. added fer contingencies. is
put at 100000.
The time of construction is estimated
at 10 to II years Mr. Barton, c. E., ex-
planned that series of large ventiIatine
fans placed at the pumping stations at
each end, about "a miles from each other.
could be made to draw out all foul air and
supply pure air in a current moving at the
rate OF miles per hour.

A Man Finds His Exact Worth

A traveller in Morocco tells in The
Land of an African Sultan the following
story: The sultan not long ago discov-
cred that one of his viziers was becoming
too powerful. He therefore summoned
him to tea and complimented him on his
great wealth. The vizier, becoming vain,
boosted of the number of his houses,
horses, wives and slaves, and the sultan
rebuked him, saying that he was too rich
and thought too much of himself. To
show the man exactly what he was worth.
his majesty had him taken by soldiers to
the slave market, where he was put up for
sale, and received only one bid of eight
pence. He was then taken back to the
sultan, who said to him: Now you know
your proper Observation-Disclosures Go home
and ponder over it When the man
reanced home, however, he found that
nearly all his property had been taken
away by order of the sultan. Only one
small residence one wife, one horse and
one slave had been left him."

LARGEST FARM IN THE WORLD
An Immence Tract of Land 100000
Acres Cultivated by Steam Power.

In the extreame southwest corner of
Louisiana lies the largest producing farm
in the world, measuring 100 miles north
and south and % miles east and west. It
is owned and operated by syndicate of
northern capitalists. The 10000 900 acres
of the tract were purchased in 1888 from
the state of Louisiana and from the limit
ed States government
At that time it was a vast grazing land
for the cattle of the few dealers of the
neighborhood, over $4,000 head of half
wild horses and cattle being thereon. Now
this immense tract is divided into con-
vincent pasture stations, or ranches, exist
ing every six miles The fencing alone
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 The
land is best adapted for rice, sugar, corn
and cotton. All cultivating, ditching,
&c, is done by steam power A tract,
say, half a mile wide, is taken, and an
engine is placed on each side. The en-
gines are portable, and operate a cable
attached to four ploughs, and under this
arrangement 80 acres day are gone over
with only the labor of three men. Har-
rowing, planting and other cultivation is
done IN a like manner. There is not a
single draught horse on the center place

Ice Houses.
Stockman and Cultiyator.


The season is at hand for building the
ice house. If it is delayed longer the cold
weather and other duties may prevent
building it at all. The cheapest form of
ice house we have yet heard of is the one
sent to US by E. Z. Boyce, of Dakota. Mr..
Boyce says:
my ice house is a cave ten feet deep,
eight feet wide, and fourteen feet long,
with gable roof made of six-foot boards.
Ice will keep all summer in this cave if
packed IN fax or oat straw. 1t has kept
for me three summers, and have had ice
- j.: ice came again.
Mr. Boyce sent us drawing of his ice
house, which shows a door in the gable
end for filing and ventilation, and through
which access to the ice house can be had
This ice house would doubtless do excel
lent service if built in soil with natural
drainage sufficient to absorb all the water
from the melting ice. and when care
enough is taken to prevent surface water
from getting in the cave. In many places
such an ice house would fill with water
when the frost is coming out in the spring,
and of course we would lose our ice. But
il is worth trial where lumber and money
are scarce and the ground conditions
which prevail in large area of the west
where ice houses are much needed.

MUST LEAVE THE ORDER.
The Lake Shore Road is Severe on Its Tele-
graphers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 90 The ultimatum of
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern rail-
way company that all the telegraphers on
that road must withdraw from the order of
railway telegraphers or leave the employ
of the company, is believed here to be the
beginning of a general movement In that
direction. 1t is understood that several
of the Chicago lines will soon follow the
example of the Lake Shore. The opposi-
ton Of railroads to the order has developed
since it has shown tendency to affiliate
with the brotherhood of telegraphers
commercial operators) and has refused to
teach telegraphy to apprentices sent to
different offices by the companies to learn
the business. Outside of railroad circles
it is believed the result of the crusade will
be practical consolidation of the two
telegraph organizations.

Two samples Of sugar beets grown near
Perry. Iowa, we're tested the other day,
and one was found to contain 25 and the
other 20 per cent. of saccharine matter.
In studying the wood lot remember that
pines, chestnuts, red oaks and poplars
grow faster than beech, birch and maple.
Only fraction of the trees that start on
sprout land can mature.
Tama county, Iowa, farmers who have
been holding their potatoes in the expecta-
ton that the dollar mark would soon be
reached, are now selling them for fifty
cents bushel.
Clover hay is very heterogeneous food, and
is also rich in mineral matter. There is
no hay that can equal it for COWS that are
in full flow of milk, and it is also excellent
for growing stock. All kinds of hay may
be fed to advantage at any season Of the
year. but clover is the best of all.
A word or two may be said about roots
for sheep. A good fattening fodder for
sheep must not be too watery. and hence a
too liberal supply of roots is not beneficial.
A small quantity Of roots is good for the
sheep. especially potatoes, which furnish
better ration between water and dry mat
ter then otherwise to be obtained. Roots
are not only very watery, but ensilage, and
too much of either one is not very good for
the sheep. Yet in England the turnip
plays an important part in making NUT
tom 1t is not often, however, that one
sees the focks injured by too liberal use
of roots for feed, bnt on the contrary they
are not fed enough roots The best adj
wise is to use Judgment in using roots and
ensilage, and be sure that the ration be-
tween such watery food and more solid
foods of grain and hay is kept up.

FARM, HOME and GARDEN.
A GOLDEN RIDDLE.
MARY B. sLEIGHT, IN HARPERs BAz


| The husbaudman one golden morn
| A white seed dropped among the corn.
Beneath the summers mystic spell
1t burst erelong the prisonlng shell,
And 'twixt the brown loans rifted crust
Its emerald leaflets upward thrust
Through frightening days of rain and shine
Fast grew and thriVed the Generous vine,
And meath the changing skies held up
For sun and dew its golden cup.
Till in its veins these forces fine
Had wrought mystery divine,
And given to the world n boon =
Fair as the golden-hearted moon.
The rudy globe against the mould
Outyied the tabled crock of gold.
Each day ripper hue it gained,
And, while the season MaXed and waned,
Tall knights with cleaning lance and sword
Guarded with ceaseless watch and ward
Through midnight hush and MONDAY heat
The golden treasure at their feet.
And when the crops were garnered in,
And grainary and barn and bin
With wealth of goodlier gold were stored
Than that which greedy misers hoard,
When glad lips sang the haryest-homs
Meath lowly roof and lordly dome,
And kith and kin, from great to least,
Had gathered for the harvest feast,
All, richer than The rarest wine
This yellow fruitage of the vine,
Transmitted by the housewives skill
To golden disks with fiaky frill.
No fairer fruit the fields afford,
No choicer Wand decks the board,
And grateful hearts their praises lift
To Him who gives the golden gift.

DECEMBER.
KATHERINE PYLE, IN ST. NICHOLAS.

On Christmas day, when fires were Lit,
And all our breakfasts done,
We spread our toys out on the fiooT
And play there in the sun.
The nursery smelled of Christmas tree,
And under where it stood
The shepherds watched their flocks OF sheep,
All made of painted wood
Outside the house the air Was cold
And quiet all about,
Till far across the snowy roofs
The Christmas bells rang out.
But soon the sleigh bells jingled by
Upon the street below,
Aud people on the way to church,
Went crunching through the snow.
We did not quarrel once all day;
Mamma and Grandma SAID
They liked to be in where we were,
So pleasantly we played.
do not see how any child
Is cross on Christmas day,
When all the lovely toys are new,
And every one can play.

COAL SHAFT ON FIRE.
The Flames are Doing y Considerably
Amount of Damage

ScoTDALE, Pa, Dec 26.-An explosion
took place this morning IN the entrance
shaft of the united coal and coke works,
operated by the United Coke company. 1t
was caused by the ignition of kerosene oil.
One hundred and forty miners were at
work at the time but all made their
escape through various openings for that
purpose. Some escapes were miraculous.
The FIRE which is still raging DESTROYED all
the loose property in the mine and has al
ready done enormous damage. Two per-
sons were injured this afternoon by falling
timber near the burning shaft.
