The Age of Steam.

IDEAS sometimes slumber for ages
without fruitioh-like the grains of
wheat found in the wrappings Of Egypt
ians mummies. Two thousand wears
ago. enc Hero, philosopher of Alex
aDdria, Egypt, made steam turbine
aud hot air engine. Their develop
ment went no farther than curious
mechanical toys. It remained for men
living seTsnteen hundred years later to
see that the idea was applicable to do
ing the worlds work. In fact none tr:-
ed to make human labor anJ thing more
than ''main strength and awkward
ness" until the seventeenth century.
The first treatise on steam was publish
ed in 1901. In 1878 the first engine
having cylinder and piston was built.
About that time some one operated an
engine by successive explosions of gun
powder in the cYiinder-the crude idea
OF our present gas engines. The great
impulse to the steam engine was given
in 1868, when James Watt invented the
jacket TO keep the cylinder always hot,
and then the separate condensing cham
Der for the waste product. Think of it
only century that the steam engine
has been practical worker-and now
no part of the world but is reached by
steamer Or the locomotive. Ten mil.
lions of people are served, ten great
states are traversed by the lines of the

COLUMBIAN DAIRY TEST.
1t Has Proved That the Butter Cow Is
Also the Cheese Cow.

1t Has Proved That the Butter Cow Is
Also the Cheese Cow.
An old time notion still prevails to
some extent that some cows are better
for cheese and some for butter. For
several years. however, dairy author
tiles have taught that the best butter
cow is also the best cheese cow This
fact has been recently proved conclu-
sively by the dairy tests a the Column
bian exposition. The reason IS that
by modern methods Of cheese-making
there is no loss Of milk-fat, it isall (but
a small fraetioD) saved and carried into
the cheese. The greater the proper
ton of fat in the milk land then in the
eheese) the less milk necessary to make
a pound of cheese and the better the
quality Of the latter.
This subject is admirably illustrated
by contribution from the Wisconsin
Dairy school at Madison, sent by Prof.
Henry to the joint exhibit Of the agri-
cultural colleges and experimental sta
tons at the exposition The dairy
students took six lots Of milk, each
weighing three hundred pounds, and
varying in the percentage of fat con-
tanned, and made a cheese from each
lot. These six cheeses were exhibited
side by side with striking and conclu-
sive effect Turned on edge, they
looked something like this:

of lumber which suits your means. as
the cost Of the house will correspond
with the quality Of lumber used. The
foundation is fixed to drain thoroughly
and is filed to depth of 6 inches with
cobblestones and floor Of pinch plank
placed upon them. Have the floor
boards an inch apart to allow drainage
Put 10 inches Of sawdust on the floor
or, if not available, use finely-cut rye
straw. Oat straw is not so good for
this purpose as rye, for being soft it
packs too closely. Ia putting in the
ice leave foot of space between it and
the wall and pack this with sawdust or
straw as The wall Of ice goes up. Place
boards across tho door spaces 10 prevent

When the house is full put layer Of
sawdust or straw 5 to 10 inches thick

at the end provide thorough ventilation
which is an essential matter in keeping

houses can be constructed, but for a per-
manent and convenient one the house
