sToprNG FARM IMpLEmEYrs.

The length of time that farm imple-
ments can be made to do good service
depends largely upon the management
given. 1t is important to adjust and man
age well when in use, and it is equally
important to store them properly under
shelter when not in use.
Before storing it is best to clean thor
oughly both the wood and iron parts. If
necessary the woodwork should be well
painted with an oil paint. Linseed oil
and ochre, vermillion or Spanish brown
will make a good paint for this purpose.
The dirt and grease should all be cleaned
off the iron or working parts, then a coat
Of paint will prevent the iron OF steel
parts from rusting, aud will not only be
a help in preserving from injury, but will
also lessen the work necessary to put
then in condition for use in the spring
II the shed has not a good floor, boards
should be put under the wheels or all
parts that rest on the ground. It is inn
portant to have the roof tight s that the
machinery will keep dry. A little care
in properly storing the machinery under
shelter will not only make it last longer,
but better and easier work can thus be
done with it when in use. So. Louis Re-
public.

An Aluminium Steamboat.

Some novel and interesting expert
ments have recently been made on the
lake of Zurich with a steamboat built
entirely of aluminium, which claims to
be the first of it's kind. The boats weighs
only about half a ton, viz, ABOUT half
the weight of an ordinary boat of the
same size. The metal is obtained by an
electrical process, the dynanos being
driven, not by steam engines, but by
turbines, which utilize the water power
of the celebrated falls of the Rhine, so
that the boat claims tc be the. product of
Swiss labor and power. 1t carries eight
persons, and with a petroleum engine OF
only two-horse power easily makes six
miles an hour. Aluminium not being
subject to rust, the permanent color OF
the boat is a beautiful dull white, while
the chimney, being of polished alu-
minimum, shines like silver. The trial
trips Of the boat were 'mphatieally sue
cessful.- Chicago Times.

UneyDl0rad America.

sIt would pay the Uaitel States
Government to send an exploring purity

ally" said Frank j. Wauger, of Albu'

vast stretches of country down there of
which little or nothing is known. No
white men who were able to form an
adequate idea of the place or to make an
intelligent report on 1t have ever visited
it. Sometimes a prospecting party has
ventured a little way into the wilder.
ness, but no one knows what lies beyond.
The finding of the cliff and cave dwellers
ought to have given the Government a
hint that there were things in this coun-
try about which much might be learned.

erie BITING HORSES.

Crib biting In horses is sometimes an
acquired habit, and colts will learn it
from older animals WITH whom they are
associated in he stable or field. Horses
that are kept much in the stable without
active exercise will sometimes for mere
amusement bite the stall or manger, and
follow it up from day until it becomes 4
habit very difficult to break up. IN
other cases it is due to indigestion, the
result of poor food, water, or oYerfeeI
ing without sufficient exercise; IN fact,
excuses of any kind may lead to indi-
gestion and crib biting, and thelce to
the serious vice OF wind sucking. A
confirmed cribber is nearly always 4 wind
sucker, and this leads to digestive disor-
ders and loss of flesh aud health. For
treatment cover all the woodwork within
reach of the horse when III stable with
sheet iron and in a way to prevent him
from getting hold Of it with his teeth.
Place q lump of rock salt in his manager,
or where ne can reach and lick it as often
or as much as he chooses. In another
box place a lump Of white chalk, and
then sprinkle all the hay and oats given
with water or a little magnesia and water,
ashe animal should also have plenty q
exercise, and if he has to stand in the
stable for a day or two at a time Pit on a
muzzle after he has eaten his ration; but
The constant supply Of salt and chalk
will usually effect a cure without the use
Of other remedies and preyentiyes.-

them have horns or the male; those of
the female are less developed in nature.

use up al the available material that is
serviceable as grit. Smooth, round
gravel is not suitable. Hens require
something sharp and cutting, or they
will be unable to properly masticate

for grit by pounding it into small pieces

Tile First Iron Bridge.

AT the present day, when we are ac-
customed to look upon iron as the chief
constructive material with which civil
engineers and arcf fleets all over the
world deal, the first iron bridge that was
ever built is a curious sight. This bridge,
the arches Of which were made of iron,
was called "Ironbridge," aud it was
erected in 177s. It spans a little river
in the county OF Salop, IN the railroad
line from Shrewsbury to Worcester, in
England. At the present day the struc-
ture is surrounded by a thriving little vii
LACE, which took its name from the
bridge. Several iron foundries have been
established in the neighborhood. The
structure was a timid attempt at what
has since developed into al extensive in
dustry. There are three supports; two
of them are very small and cross q mar
row country road, while the third and
largest one spans the bed Of the river. It
IS about ninety-six feet long and weighs
37S TONS. The braces were east at Coal
b~rookdale, every bar being composed of
two segments. Stephenson, the great
civil engineer, wrote as follows on the
construction of this first iron bridge:
uWhen we bear in mind that the mani
nulation of cast iron was at the time of
its erection in its infancy we cannot help
but feel convinced that unblushing au-
dacity alone could conceive of such an
enterprise, and the intelligence with
which the details were outlined and IKE
cuted is equal to the boldness Of the con
ception.' The bridge is constantly used
and is in an excellent condition, a fact
which disproves all the omninous clamor-
ings of cranks that the pernicious in
auences Of trust viii sooner or latter bring
danger TO the iron bridges of to-day
