The remarkable addition to the
strength of metals by the fractional
mixture or alloy of other metals or
substances is a notable feature of mod
ern metallurgy. Copper having ten
sile strength of $4,000 pounds, by an
addition of per cent of tin may equal
to 2S,0 900 pounds, but with the addition
of to 2 per cent. of phosphide of tin
and copper its tensile strength is in
creased to $4,000 pounds or more per
square inch. The addition of aluminium
to copper in the small proportion of 1
per cent largely increases its tenacity,
and at ~ per cent. aluminium is equal
to 60, 600 pounds, and 10pcr cent. al
10y 10000 pounds per square inch, the
highest being a test at the Washing
ton navy yard of 114,OO0 pounds of
strength. -Scientif American.

MAKING MILLINER's FOLDS.

wrinkle. To do this it is better to pin
one edge of the bias material along the
straight edge of the cutting board.
The points of the pins can be easily
stuck into the wood sufficiently to hold
it firmly Then measure the width
you intend to cut the strips at either
end of the board, and sti,k another pin
into the wood at these points. Then,
with a yardstick, chalk line with
French chalk from one pin to the
other. Take the pins from the ma
terial and cut the strip at the chalk
line, repeating the process of pinning
the material to the board for the next
strip.
For fold of ordinary size, which Is
five-eighths of an inch wide when fin
ished, the strips should be cut an inch
and half wide Fold one edge over
little less than half an inch on the
wrong side, as at b, Fig, 1; haste it
with accuracy, then fold over the outer
edge, Fig. 2, at a, so that the edge will
not quite meet the edge of b. There
should be about an eighth of an inch
space between them. Basic this care
fully.
Fold over onto a. Slip thin, mar
row whalebone through a, bend it
slightly over the forefinger, and blind
stitch to a, running the sewing as
near as possible to the outer edge OF
the whalcbone without running it off.
Slide the whalebone along as the work
progresses.
The whalebone will prevent the nee
die from going through to the other
side of the fold, thus spelling the SYM
metry of the work. and it is not neces-
sary to use the care which is needed
when there is no whalebone.

Sailing Cows.

Sailing the cows is one of the little
things that is sometimes lost sight of
under the pressure of other and what
is regarded as more important work,
but trial recently made at the Mis-
sissippi experiment station indicates
that inattention to this point may be a
rather expensive oversight Three
cows were kept without salt for four
weeks and their milk record kept dur
ing the last two weeks of this period;
then they were given the usual allow
once of salt for two weeks, and on
comparing the milk records it was
found that the cow gave 454 pounds of
milk during the first period, when salt
was withheld, and 564 pounds during
the second, when salt was furnished, a
difference of 10 pounds of milk in two
weeks in favor of salting.-Kansai

A FEED MIXTURE.
A Successful Poultry Raiser Tells How He
Feeds.

My present feeding mixture consists
of bushels of ground oats, bushels
of ground wheat, $50 pounds of meat
scrap, 300 pounds of wheat bran, and
300 pounds of malt sprouts. For GOO
hens l take about so pounds of this
mixture in water-tight box that sits
on the rear end of blackboard wagon,
and pour it over a 40-quart canful of
sour milk. The can of milk is set in a
box of hot water over night, and in the
morning it is hot whey and pot cheese
instead of skim milk. The hens eat it
greedily and seem to be thriving on it.
You ought to see them pick out the
chunks of hot cheese. At night give
them the whole grain, either corn or
wheat. l question the propriety of
giving any whole grain, at all in win
ter. My hens are getting very plump
and fat, although they lay reasonably

of them entirely on the more bulky

food. can not always get the skim
milk in sufficient quantities. In that
case / use hot water to mix the feed.
My colony of small houses scattered
about over the farm and connected by
a telegraph wire causes lots of COM
ment from passers-by My man over
heard the conversation of four men the
other day as they were driving by in n
carriage. One of them seemed to be
spokesman, and was explaining to the
rest that the wire was for the purpose
of conveying the eggs down 10 the
house. His companion happening to
spy one of the white porcelain insula-
tors which break the circuit over each
building in order TO send the current
down into the buildings, suddenly
grasped the others arm in great excite
ment: Great Scottm said he, "if there
don't come one now?"
But the malt sprouts used are also
rich in nitrogen, for, while casein has
16 per cent. of the element in it, the
sprouts have about per cent. and thus
this mixture is, or should be, excellent
for fowls producing eggs, and Mr..
Mapes-which is the poultrymans
name-fnds it so to be.
Mr. Mapes is mechanical genius,
too; and it requires genius-that is,
man who has his wits about him-to
succeed in this bushes. He has an au-
tomato nest, which has self-closing
and opening door, and when the hen
goes on the front of the box the door
opens, as if to say: "Howdy Biddy,
walk in" and when Biddy walks in the
door closes and prevents any other fowl
from entering; then when the hen gets
off the nest, the door opens and let's
her out and closes again after her.
This kind of nest has entirely prevented
the loss of eggs by idle hens eating
them.
Mr.. Mapes also tells how last July,
when eggs were selling at thirteen
cents a dozen, he packed away several
barrels of them in common salt, and
sold them in October for twenty-five
cents a dozen. The precaution was
taken to put away the eggs the same
day they were laid.
January 25 my first brood of chick
ems for the season left the nest with
the hen. There were fifteen eggs I'M
der her. and fifteen little fuzzy chicks
filled the nest. They were put into
glazed coop in sunny place, and to-
day, two weeks after, they are all safe
and lively, taking their three meals
day of corn and wheat ground to-
gether and wetted into a thick paste
with warm water They have sweet,
warm milk to drink. 1t is very rarely
that l have lost a chick after it has be-
come two weeks old. l am feeding pea
vine clover to my cows and horses, and
as there is good deal of seed in the
flowers, which were full blossomed
when the hay was cut, the dust from
the floor of the NOW makes an excel
lent litter for the poultry house. The
seed is eagerly picked out by the
chicks, and they have a warm, dry bed
to nestle in, and lots of exercise to
scratch for the seeds. - Rural New

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest Of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est, most delicious food The strongest baking pow
dermakes the ghtest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food.
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize or at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining to accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

An Easy and Charming Way to Beautify
II Toilet Table.
Lace and muslin are not often seen
on toilet tables nowadays, but a grace
full way which has lately gained favor
is to take length of muslin, soft silk
or lace, allow it to fall to the ground
at one side of the table, carry it up to
the edge at tho other side, and secure
it by small taclis, hidden under couple
of smartly-tied broad ribbon bows. If
the table has q set of drawers on each
side of the open space in front, the
drapery conceals one set and reveals
the other.
In pretty, simple rooms it is much
the fashion to have everything in it of

Frank ID. Richardson, youngest son of
L. l.. Richardson Sr. and Uraaa Richard
son, was born at Hsrtland, Waukesha
County, Wisconsin, August 2lst.. 1868,
where his parents then resided. When
mere boy OF seven years his parents
moved to their present home in the town
of Clifton, Piercs County, accompanied
by Frank, who has made it his home
with them most of the time up to the
date cs his sad and untimely death.
!" men not at home he was employed as
travelling salesman for John Zelch of
Cottage Grove, Mimi. and G. NJ. Hughes
* Co., of St. Paul, Mimi, importers of
and dealers in blooded horses, in which
he took great pride, and did Gre lit to his
profession and TO his employers. At the
time of his death he was operating hay
press of which he was the owner, at
Glover's station on the c. St. p. NJ. &
o. r. r. six miles north of River Falls.
Frank was well met fellow of genial
and unselfish disposition, with kind
word and pleasant greeting for all with
whom he came in contact; always looking
on the bright side of life, making many
warm friends wherever he went. Even
in adverse circumstances the same
buoyant spirit asserted itself, making
those around him of a perverse nature
profit by his example.
He will be greatly missed by his large
circle of friends and acquaintance, and
his loss will be long mourned by loving
hearts who were bound still closer by
natures ties, and to those we tender our
deepest sympathy aud words of condo
| lence; that at best, sound to the aching
heart in this hour of bereavement, as but
