Too many farmers neglect recrea ton.
Not enough time is given to studying
their own work. A call on a humble
neighbor and glance at his methods Of

is nothing learned worthy of imitation.
The idea stimulated in the discoveries
mind strengthens the fertility of that
mind and besides it adds to his material
possessions. Thus by single visit both
persons may be greatly benefited. If
neighbors visit each other frequently the
mutual gain is great. Wider intercourse
is needed among stock breeders. On
many farms, there are papers, books,
magazines, etc., which give much infer-
nation and instruction, but real learning
in this branch of farming requires OBJ
servation also.-[Orange Judd Farmer.

There is good deal of truth spoken in
jest about the cost of converting heath
en-. My church sent a bright young
preacher to Africa, some time ago and
paid his salary and expenses for two or
three years. When he came back he said
he had nearly saved one old chief, but
was afraid he would soon fall from grace.
He kept the chief in the fold by making
him the high mogul of the mission. The
chief liked this first rate for a while,
but in Summer he disappeared for a
whole month and, when he came back,
our missionary took him to task and de-
manded to know where he had been.
''Oh, | was up in the mountains worship
ing the old gods for WHILE" he said.

Two Ways.

Three years ago, the pastor of a city
church appealed to the members of his
congregation to take more active part
in helping the poor and criminal classes.
The next day, two young married wo-
men, wealthy and gently bred, went to
him in response to his appeal. He sent
them to the women's ward of the city
prison. They went together, separated
after being taken to the ward by an at
tendant and, lin an hour or two, met again
at the gate.
"tTell me how you were received and
what you did, said Mrs c., anxious

ssThe work is, of course, new to me"

Handling Coal.

The present method of handling the
coal at the docks is a very interesting
process and has entirely superseded the
old system of hosting in buckets from
one boat to another or dumping it in
piles on the dock. In place of buckets
floating elevators are now used. The
principle of these elevators is the same
as those seen in the country grist mill,
but instead of buckets of tin fastened to
leather belt, an endless steel chain and
steel buckets, holding about half BUSH
ell each, are used by an ingenious con-
trivance, this chain is heightened or
shortened at will. When it is desired to
transfer cargo of coal from one boat
to another, the elevator is fioated to the
side of the loaded boat with the empty
one at the other side of the elevator.
The buckets are lowered into the boat
and the machinery set in motion; each
bucket as it travels it's endless round
scoops up its half bushel of coal, carries
it to the top of the elevator and dumps it
into receiver holding about three tons.
llCIC IL Is "CiShSu SouuuSISu ny
means of a shute into the empty boat.
One of these elevators will handle about
800 tons of coal day. AS there are five
of them almost constantly in use during
eight months of the year, some idea can
be found of the magnitude of the coal
business at this point. These elevators
are also used in unloading coal to be
stored on the docks.
OF course, these must deposit their
loads near where they are taken and, to
convey the coal to the center of the dock
and pile it, another ingenious but after
all rather simple system has been devils
ed, and the wonder now is that it had
not been discovered years ago. This
machine is called a trimmer. A steel
trough set at an angle of 80 degrees ex-
tends from the edge of the dock toward
the center until it reaches height of "a
feet. This trough is in the shape of
three sides of an octagoH, something SIM
liar to those used by woodmen in slid
ing wood down our steep mountain sides. |
The bottom of this trough consists of a |
steel band eight inches wide and, when
the pile is started, Is wound on pulley |
at the foot of the incline. An endless |
chain, to which paddles in shape to con-
form to the trough are attached at dis
lance of about Is inches from each other,
travels the entire length of the incline,
on a track erected above the
trough. The elevator hoists the coal
from the boat and deposits it in a receiv-
er at the foot of the incline, through
which the paddles pass, each one taking
about a scoop shovel full and pushing it
aloug to a point where the adjustable
steel bottom ends; when the pile is start
ed, this is near the pulley at the foot of
the incline; as the pile grows in size, the
pulley is unwound, the bottom drawn up
gradually until it reaches the top and a
pyramid of coal is built "a feet high and

these trimmers, each having capacity OF
