Some Speed Makers.

Some curious facts are brought int
prominence by a correspondent of
Cycling, who has been at the pains to
draw up a comparative table of the rates
of speed IN different modes OF loco
molten. The express train, of course,
stands pre- eminent. Man has as yet
discovered no way Of getting about
faster on the earth's surface. 1t will be
o surprise, however, to many to learn
that the safety bicycle, Of which so much
is heard nowadays, only occupies IN this
list the seventh place.
The fastest time in which a train has
been known to travel Il mLIe was forty
nine seconds and a fraction; to accom-
pIish the same distance the fastest bi-
c~yclist, who has hitherto ridden, took
two and three-qnarter minutes. or Just
about three times as long. An ice yacht
has travelled a mile in one minute and ten
seconds, a running horse In one minute
and thirtv-6ve and a half seconds, a tor
pede boat in one minute and fifty
seconds, a steam yacht ID two minutes
and twelve seconds and a fraction, and
a skater on ice, with a favorable wind
behind him, in two minutes and twelve
seconds and rather a large fraction. A
little way after the safety bicycle comes
the ocean liner, the oarsman IS much
slower, taking five minutes and forty
seconds to travel a mile, and the slow
est of all is the swimmer, who requires
very little short of an hour to perform
the anne journey.

An Cid japanese DIARY.

The oldest diary in the world, accord
ing 10 q japanese paper, is that of the
Hozaka family, landed proprietors Of the
province of Kaschin. The diary has
been conscientionsIy kept by the various
heads of the family for more than three
centuries. 1t was begun at the time of
the fall of the Takedas. who were mas
tiers of naschin under Yoritomo, the
great japanese ruler. The pages Of the
ancient books fail to show that the
Hozakas were especially distinguished
either for intellect or proves. There
is nc doubt, however, that they were con
scientious in the discharge of their
duties, and lived the peaceful lives OF
Japanese gentlemen. The state Of the
weather was naturally a matter of great
importance to them, and each cav they
chronicled its condition. But the books
have other entries as well. A short time
ago a dispute over precedence took
place between two branches of the same
family in Kaschin, each claiming to he
the original line. The contestants ap-
pealed to the Hozaka diary and found
the record of a dinner given several
hundred years age by the head of the
family to the founder of the side line
The record ever contained the names of
the dishes eaten at the dinner, and efec-
tually settled the dispute. The various
volumes of the diary now fill eight
chests, and form the chief treasures Of
the wealthy Hozaka family .-Chlcago

SWEET VERSUS SOUR CREAM.

Still another of our old cherished be-
liefs knocked higher than Gilderoy's
kite. 1t has always been a settled fact
with butter makers that when cream was
allowed to stand until it became very
sour, the acid developed in some way
destroyed part of the butter fats, 50 that
such cream would produce less butter
than the same cream would have pro-
duced had it been ehurned while in a
milder state of acidity. However, we
are told by Professor w. w. Cooke, of
the Vermont Station, that his expert.
ments have proven that this acid does
not in any measure whatever destroy the
butter fats. He says: eve have fol-
lowed a good many lots of milk all the
way from the COWS to the butter-tub,
both when churned sweet and when
churned sour, and the results check out
the same in either case. A great many
figures on this subject were published in
the last report Of this station, and many
more on a large scale have been obtained
since then, all pointing Enthusiastically to
a non-destruction of fat during the pro-,
cess of souring." Perhaps this is another
case of non -churnability. 1t may be that
while the fat is there the churn can't get
it, but we will probably know more about
this by-and-by.

Remarkable Musical Prodigy.

Blind Boone was born In Miami, Saline
County. No., in 1868. His mother was
a ~contraband, cooking for Federal sol
dieFs. He lost his sight with brain
fever when only six months old. His
first musical instrument was a tin
whistle, on which he could play any or
dinarF air after once hearing it. His
next, with a mouth-organ, charmed all
the young folks of W~arrensburg, where
his home was. Some Warrensburg peo-
pie sent him to a blind school to learn q
trade, but his bent was towards music,
and the attempt to teach him anything
else was d failure. He left school and,
with a little company, tramped around
through the State. Finally John LANCE,
Of Columbia. q shreWd, intelligent col
ored man, took hold of the prodigy,
fitted up q company, and Boone is now
playing under his management, pleasing
audiences all over the United States and
Canada. He has amassed considerable
fortune, has an elegant home in Column
bia. gives literally to every good cause,
and is respected by all his acquaintances.
He is the most remarkable musical
prodigy Of the present generation

radish sets are planted between the rows
and at about the same distance as the
cabbages. When the crop of early cab
bages, c~aulifowers or whatever it may
be, Is removed, the horseradish receives
thorough and frequent cultivation up to
the Time the roots are ready for digging
late IN autumn. But if you do not care
to plant horseradish as 4 second crop,
then put N your sets as early as con-
venlent in the spring, planting them in
rows two or three feet apart and twelve
TO eighteen inches in the rows. If set
three feet BY n foot, ycu will need H.
$40 for each acre. The richer the
ground the larger the roots, and while
stable manure is the best, you can use al
most any good commercial fertilizer as 8
substitute, applying from one-half up to
n ton per acre. The yield of roots,
for what may be considered a good eroE
of horseradish should be about five tons
per aere.-New York Sun.

THE ApvANrAGEs OF BITING.

Where biting is done properly it has
many advantages, while the improper
use of the biting machine often leads to
serious consequences. Many horsemen
believe that If a colt has no style born in
him he never will acquire it. However
true this may be, it is possible, with the
biting machine, to greatly improve the
style that a colt naturally possesses. Be-
sides, it teaches him restraint that he
would not learn otherwise. The ma
chine consists OF a bride checkfein,
girth, erupper and two side straps. Use
a common straight bit, and, preferably,
a side check, fastened high up on the
bride. The back pad OF an old harness
IS good if the terrets and cheek-ring are
taken out, SO the colt can roll v if he
throws himself. Put the back piece or
girth on, and buckle it tight; fasten the
:neck to it, and bring the nolt's head up
where he carries 1t naturally. The side
straps are fastened about half way down
on each side of the girth, and the loose
ends buckled into the bit rings. These
are to prevent the colt from turning his
head to either side, and should be light
enough for this, but not to pull his $
in much. Put this on him every day for
an hour, aud turn him In a paddock, or
loose box. Gradually take up the check
rein. until his head is brought where it
is wanted. 1t may take tive u three
months. Ii the training Is pushed too
fast, or the check is taken up too much
at one time, or the machine is left on too
long, it may do irreparable harm. When
done thoroughly this strengthens the
muscles of the neck so the colt will al
WAYS carry his head up. It viii also
help to improve his knee action.-Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

How Roads May B. Improved.

Apropos of the subject of improving
country roads, Colonel A. A. Pope says
in the Forum:
81 would have each State by a legis-
lative enactment do at once two or three
things in the direction of this movement,
viz. Procure and disseminate lnforma-
ton by establishing a bureau where the
facts relating to the expense, mechanical
construction, care, durability, use and
extent of the different kinds of roads
shall be known and aseertained, then J
would have some kind of State super
vision ana advisory assistance by a com
petent engineer or engineers appointed
by the State in aid of road and bridge
building and repairing upon scientific
principles and upon a comprehensive and
economical plan for the whole State;
thirdly, l would have the State either
own or control and maintain some
through highways. connecting the prln-
cipal towns in the State, and connecting
these with the principal towns OF neigh
boring States, where they are most
needed, either for great public exigeneles
or for the greatest general use. The
State would thus promote the equaliza-
ton and the general reduction of expense
of construction and maintenance of these
main roads, and would give a profitable
example and a strong incentive to the
adjacent towns to construct better con-
tributory roads as feeders to the main
ones. I would have the State divide the
expenses of this scheme of road better.
ment in the tar levy, SO that part Of il
should be apportioned to the whole
State, part to the counties through which
roads ran, and part to the towns. And,
further. I would have this a levy kept
small and the investment adequate and
quickly made By the business mans
method of borrowing the money on long
loans. It would thus be easily paid out
of tine profits by those sharing them"

FARM N GARDEN.


Peas are always sown with oats when
they are intended Tor fodder. The Ca
madam peas are preferred, as the seed is
not injured by the weevil, and there is
no loss by this damage. Weevil-eateu
peas will not gerninate when the germ
is injured, as is generally the case, and if
not, the substance of the pea being
partly destroyed, the strength of the
young plant is lessened for the want of
nutriment that is furnished to it by the
seed. One and one-half bushels of the
peas and two bushels of tie oats are
sown. The strongest kind of oats are
chosen, as they hold up the peas better
than the weaker kind. 1t is advisable
to cover the seed with a ~cultivator or a
harrow, as three inches of covering is
necessary.-New York Times.
