nIrh. Dire, fam III. Tree.

Every cody familiar with the latho
knows that a very long turning can be
taken from a piece Of wood or metal. La
this way casks are now produced directly
from the tree-thst is, without the wood
having TO be cut up in numerous slaves
the cask being formed of single staye.
In this system the tree stem is first sawn
into lengths to suit the lengths Of cask
TO bs made, and these lengths are boiled
for about three hours in q closed vessel :,
which renders the wood soft. A current
OF electricity is passed through the water
during the boiling process. The log is
taken from the boiler to the cutting ma
chine, in which it is fixed as in a lathe,
and brought up against long broad cut.
ting blade.
The log is reversed, the knife automat-
ically approaches it aud the sheet Of wood
is drawn from the machine on TO table,
and is cut into lengths suitable for tile
diameter OF barrel required. The lengths
are then taken to growing machine,
where they are grooved near the edges
for receiving the head and bottom Of the
cask. The wood is then put into another
machine which cuts long, narrow V
pieces or gussets out of the edges at in
tervals, which gives the necessary double
taper to the cask. The sheets Of wood
aTe then formed up into cylinders aud
the first two hoops are driven on by the
machine. There is thus only one stsve in
the cask, and consequently only one joint.
Works are already in operation ia Eu.

turity. Then, too, the crest, the grea,
ornament of the fowl, is also one of ils
greatest drawbacks, practically consid-
cred, FOR when the rain descends it fiji
with water and the fowl contracts a colo
in the head, which if neglected may re-
suit in roup, bronchitis, or induce con,
sumption. Its small size, too, does ntt
'ecommend the fowl TO those who rai>t
poultry for market So that, despite lis
great beauty and its great prolificacy Il

Bearded Golden Po ish, with the black
lacing changed to wlite or pale buff II
las a rich buff ground color, each
feather laced or margined with pale buff
or creamy white. The effect is delicate;
some think it makes the fowl look sickly,
while others regard it as exceedingly at.
tractive. AS this is matter of taste il
IS not wise to argue the question, though
It seems the latter is the better opinion.
Certainly some Buff-Laced Polish are
sufficiently handsome to call forth many
exclamations of admiration.
1t is altogether probable that it is de.
scended from the Golden Polish, the
change in lacing from black to creamy
white being one that is by no means un.
common when fowls have been crossed. IL
- fair to presume that the crossing Il
Blended Golden and Blended White

Certainly the crossing of Black Red Game
and White Games, and Brown Leghorn;

oirds, the black being changed by tn,
crossing to creamy white, the red remain
ing, and if this can be done il does not
seem unreasonable that cross of Golden
and White Polish should result in fowl
where the golden body color was re.
tanned and the black markings had faded

American Standard describes the mark.

Hun Laced Polish Fowls.

The Buff-Laced Polish Is a very rare
variety Of the somewhat numerous Polish
breeds. OF the eight recognized stand.
ard varieties, which by no means ex-
hausts the list, it is, perhaps. the rares,
Of all Polish fowls. everywhere ANA al
ways, are decidedly attractive The
plump breast, the full tail, the wen
rounded body. the graceful carriage. and
aboveall the full. roselike crests, causes the
fowl to be the observed of all observers
in every poultry exhibition, compelling
admiration from man, woman. and child.
And not only are they beautiful but they
are among the best layers of the mo I
prolific breeds. Especially is this so whe1
attention has been paid less To crest thar
To practical qualities. POLISH fowls, bred
with moderate-sized crest, are not e,,sii5
surpassed among the breeds that are dis-
tinguished for proliticacy. They are aot-
sitters, which does not mean, as ; lna
suppose, that none of the hens ever sit,
for in this sense there is no nou.svttjns
breed; but which does mean that Il. !,
are rarely broody, usually not until tNo
years or more of age, and when Eaody
are easily broken up. They lay rather
small, white egg. and lay especially well
in the warmer months of the year. Anal
yet the Polish is not popular breed in
this country. IL is not extensively kept
on farms, or by fanciers, AMI ia
most exhibitions is represented by
few specimens OF by none, Oe a.
sionally. as a surprise to the frequcrt,r
of poultry shows. there will appear a
large class, as was the case at the E,to
Madison Square Garden Exhibition in
New York. and when such class al-
pears one begins to question why tho
rare is not the common thing
The fact is that the Polish is a rather
delicate breed, The chickens are diff.
cult to rear, and when about one-third
grown, if they live 10 that age. have a
surprising and disagreeable habit of drop
ping off. II they pass this age there is
then fair chance OF their reaching ma.
