VenisOn for the Market,

An enterprise is now being established
in our ncighboring town Of Halifax. the
development of which will be watched
with interest, both ON account of its
novelty and because it is an attempt in
new direction to solve the abandoned
FARMS problem, declares the Brattleboro
(Vt) Phoenix. L. c. Houton, a young
man who was born and raised in Halifax,
one of the sons Of the late Rufus Hough-
ton, and who went only few years ago
to be associated with his uncle in bust
ness in Sheffield, ILL.,, has bought four
deserted farms near his old Halifax home,
comprising about one thousand acres,
which he will enclose with high and
strong wire fence, and convert into .
deer park, The land lies about two
miles north of Halifax Centre, in or near
the vicinity known rs Reed Hollow, and
south OF the Green River. For mile it
adj joins the old home farm, which is oc-
cupied by Windall Houghton, another
son of Rufus Houghton.
While Mr.. Houghton expects to de- i've
much pleasure from seeing his preserve
develop, he will establish it v it'll business
in view in the end. New York market
men say that the high class trade of that
city alone would take all the venison now
produced in this country, and pay good
prices for it. When has park has become
FULLY stocked, few years hence, It is
probabe that Mr.. Houghton may try
sending venison to market, beginning, of
course, with the surplus bucks. The
rate of increase of the deer is quite rapid,
each doe Usually raising two fawns every
season. In connection with the deer a
large flock of sheep will be put in the
preserve, the deer and the sheep not in
teriering with each other in any way.
The deer will get good living the year
round without care, and the deeper tho
snow in winter the better they are said
to thrive. The grass land will supply
abundant winter feed for the sheep.
Fish breeding will be combined with
the raising of deer and sheep. There are
good streams flowing through the tract,
and trout ponds will be made. About
one. half Of the land is wooded There
are two fuirly good sets of buildings on
the preserve.
The preserve will be fenced with wire.
Work on it has begun this week and
it will be pushed to completion before
winter. The fence will be seven feet
high, containing sixteen strands of wire.
alternately bnrbed and plain. The total
weight of the wire will be twelve tons.
About half the way the wires can be put
on trees. The rest Of the way ten foo!
posts will be set three feet in the ground.

The Buffalo Bug.

The destructive bug which does so
much damage In many sections of
the country is the grub Of the
buffalo beetle. 1t is a minute hairy
creature which largely devours wool,
and is said to eat cotton, papsrs, or
anything else in its way 1t is gen.
orally found in dark corners or
cracks. 1t always appears next sea-
son, if the eggs and grub have not
been destroyed in exactly the same
place it did before. The beetle
emerges from the pupa state in
April, flies out the window, but soon
returns to lay its eggs which soon
hatch into the little pests that
feeds upon your carpets The beetle
is strict vegetarian, and feeds on
the spired and other plants. 1t will
only feed on wool while 1t is a grub
The State entomologist, Prof. Lint
ner, has found benzine very effective
In destroying this grub, in fact more
so than anything else. Treat all

Wire Netting.

A wire netting for plastering to
take the place of laths is not new
idea. 1t requires less labor to put
on the walls, is more continuous, and
will not burn Coarse netting with
one-inch mesh, and made of strong
wire, is found to answer best. For
ornamental cornice work it is espe-
cially valuable, for it can be bent in
any desired form. Secured to iron
stpdding in a brick building the
greatest danger on account of fire
would be removed. A still further
application Of this plan is to make
round bags of wire resembling barrels,
and to coat them inside and out with
cement. When it hardens they re-
semble barrels. Filled with sand
and sunk in rows and masses, they
make excellent building materials
for breakwaters.

The great speed will not result, be-
says, In the generation OF heat In
either car or the bearings Of the
wheels. Engine 900 OF the New York
Central Railway recently ran 100
miles an hour and the journals,
though carrying the fifty tons weight
of the ponderous machine, did not
become overheated. The extremely
small burdens on the aerial electric
road would lessen UNNECESSARILY the
chances Of heat by friction. Metal
for journal bearings Is tempered SO
that 1t will stand a minimum Of
1900 revolutions q minute, whereas
the speed OF 500 miles an hour by the
aerial electric car would require less
than 5000 revolutions per minute Of
its 2-feet-6-inch driving wheels. The
point Of contact between the wheels
and rails being changed with a ra-
pidity almost inconceivable, there
would be no danger of heat by fric-
tlon. A cannon ball travels with an
initial velocity Of 100 to 1000 feet
per second, or about 1900 miles an
hour, and does not heat, and 80 there
can be no possibility Of the electric
car becoming heated at a speed Of
only 800 miles an hour.
In fact, Mr.. Widdls thinks he has
overcome the obstacles and lmpedl-
ments to the transportation of loads
Of 10000 pounds or less at a speed Of
500 miles an hour, Should the
freight-carrying project succeed, as he
feels certain 1t will, Mr.. Widdis will

which passengers may be carried safe
ly at the same tremendous speed.
Then a man can live in Chicago and
go to business daily in New York--or

THE wIDDIs ELEoTRIo MAIL CAR IN DEPRIVATION.

which serves at once as a guide and
a support and which prevents the
wheels from leaving the main track.
In the center of the car is a specially
designed electric motor of exceeding
lightness and power that drives by
means Of sprocket wheels and link
belts the driving wheels above. The
current to operate this motor is taken
from a wire strung above the track
by a trolley wheel much after the
manner of the ordinary electric street
car The electric power is to be ap-
piled from dynamo stations at points
along the route. Verylittle electrical
force Is required. 1t is estimated
that eleven-horse power will propel a
], 000-pound car with its load at the
rate of 500 miles an hour.
Where the car is to be used for the
carriage of mail matter no stoppage
is needed for the delivery of the mail
bags at their proper stations. In the
mail car, which is bottomless, each
mail bag rests on shelf or platform
which can be moved up or down by q
lever that projects from it through
the side Of the car. As the car
whizzes by station this lever strikes

Charles the Simple had Jester
named Jean, who, one morning, tried
his masters nerves by rushing int
his room with exclamation:
ooh, sire, such news! Four thou
sand men have risen in the city!"
"What!" cried the startled King.
with what intention have they
risen?"
"Well," replied the jester, "prob-
ably with the intention of lying down
again at bed time, sire"
Although there are many exam
pies Of the license which testers were
allowed, instances are not wanting of
their delicacy and courage.
For example, when the feet of
Philip was captured or destroyed by
that of Edward Ill, there was no
one at court bold enough to COM
municate tidings Of the disaster to
the King, except court fool.
Going into the Kings chamber, the
fou began muttering:
"Those cowardly Englishmen! The
chicken-heart BritonsI"
"How so, cousin? How SOP" asked
asked Philip.
"Why, because they have not cour-
age enough to jump into the sea, like
your French sailors, who went head
long from their ships leaving those
to the enemy who were not brave
enough to follow them"
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-07-27

against an arm extending from post
set up by the track, the shelf is de-
pressed, the mail bag falls to the
ground or on the platform of the sta
tion or into a net, while the car flies
on, and the shelf, released from the
action Of the lever returns automat-
ically to its former position, ready
for another load. When it is desired
to shunt cars from the main line to a
lateral branch the same principle is
used to open and close the switches.
These devices render the system al
most automatic in its operation.
The advantages claimed for this
new method of transportation are:
First, speed, which can be easily
forced, up to 500 miles an hour; sec
ond, safety, because the track being
elevated accidents are impossible;
third, economy, the first cost of the
elevated track being small and the
repairs nearly nothing, while the cars
can be built for 5000 apiece. The in
ventor is confident that his applica-
tion of electricity to the transporta-
ton Of mail and light freight Is q
success and will be generally adopted.
Mr.. Widdis asserts that there are
no inherent difficulties In his system.

Your stable as well as your house
should be built on an elevation If
possible,
PLANT peas every two or three
weeks If succession OF crops is de.
sired The dwarf varieties require
no sticks or supports,
WOOD ashes make a good fertilizer
for potatoes. They can be applied
broadcast over the surface when there
is full supply or they can be APP
piled in the hill with benefit.
SHEEP kept on farms in small flocks
are more profitable per capita than
those kept in large flocks, for the
reason that they are more easily ham
died, and are consequently better
cared for.
SOME farmers believe that sheep re-
quire but little water, and neglect the
flock in that respect The fact is
that sheep require water regularly,
and should receive an unlimited sup
ply at all times.
THE Horticultural Times says that
no orchards or gardens should be with
out toads, as they are great insect
killers. They feed on flies, ants,
snails, caterpillars, moths, beetles,
grubs, worms, etc.
If lime is broadcasted literally over
the poultry yard, or grounds occu-
pied by poultry, it will serve as an
excellent preventive of roup and
gapes, and when busted freely in the
poultry house at least once week it
will drive lice away.
A GOOD cistern, made with filter,
and large enough to hold all the
water that falls from the barn, Is the
safest and surest dependence that you
can have for water for your stock.
1t will be pure and of the right tenn.
perature for use summer and winter.
LANES may be fed in small pens,
which will permit them to get at the
food without allowing the sheep to
enter. A mess OF ground oats, given
twice day, is the best food for pro-
noting rapid growth Of the lambs,
and they should also be kept dry at
night.

the lower jaw of medium sized skull
(they can be removed without diff
Guilty, unlike the most of ours) is
bent into nearly a semi-clrcle, and
measures five inches along its outer
curve. Only one inch of this length
projects from the skull. The CORES
ponding one from the upper Jaw is
bent into more than complete half
circle, and measures upon its outer
face four inches, Of which less than
an inch protrudes from its bone cas-
ing In width each tooth is FIVE
eighths Of an inch. Examination of
one Of them reveals the secret of how
a beaver can perform such feats as
chopping down a birch-tree sixteen
inches in diameter, not to speak of
softer woods, like the Eastwood, Of
much greater size. The tooth is COM
posed of two materials. Along the
outer face or front of the tooth is a
thin plate Of exceedingly hard enamel;
on the inner forming the body of the
tooth, is substance called dentine.
The dentine, being softer, wears
away with use; the thin enamel re-
mains comparatively unworn, so that
the tooth assumes the shape of keen
chisel that never grows dull The
tooth is hollow at the base for half
its length, and is filled with nour-
ishing substance which keeps it con-
stantly growing, Thus, not only is
the natural wearing away provided
against, but certain amount of
wear becomes an actual necessity.
With such instruments, the beaver is
admirably fitted for obtaining its
natural food, the bark Of shrubs and
trees. st. Nicholas.
