years has been waiting patiently for
the hour when he might safely In

that the employment Of the wheel In
various kinds Of vehicles will do away
with the use Of horses steam power

However, authorities on the subject
OF perpetual motion, to whom have
been submitted diagrams of the wheel,
have not been able to lull their con.

utility. One man said that IL the
wheel worked he would agree to walk
backward from Chicago to New York.

the animal and lead him to the cor

take 1t back over the log, then down
around; the animals body, then over
the log again, then between his hind
legs and secure the free end to the
loop first made. Put n short rope
around the animals neck. crossing 1t
to prevent slipping. and tie to the log
just around the corner. II both ropes
are strong the animal Is there to stay.

NcHenry,s wheel.

The system by which Mr.. McHenry
proposes to revolutionize locomotion
may be seen In the accompanying dia-
gram. Grooves are cut in the tire of
the wheel. and the epokes are attached
between the grooves. The spokes arc
made fast to the sides Of the hub. In
stead Of running to the center. Here
IL where Mr.. McHenry's idea Is most
evident.
Then the wheel rests on one Of the
projections Of the tire the weights

being attached to the center Of the
hub, the spokes are supposed 10 cause
a revolution Of the wheel, as each pro-
lection comes in contact with the
ground the speed Is increased. The
inventor proposes to build vehicle
with four wheels. When this IL done
he expects to make a tour Of the boule-
wards. To him the laws Of gravity are
as mere phythings. There is no
debut he says that gravity can be
made to At any machine IL a man only
knows how.

LeEhorns the Most prontab bic.

The most profitable breed Of hens
for farmers, who live away from the
city markets, Is the Iegh0rn. They
more than make up in eggs for what
they lack az flesh producers. Poultry
raise1s Of our northern states have to
send their dressed poultry to market
at a time when prices are low. Fan
cy prices ARE obtained just before cool
weather. but there Ia risk in sending
dressed poultry 200 or 300 miles by
express In hot weather. I.eghol1ls are
easier to raise and the pullets ma
tllre ut least month earlier than the
heavy breeds. Pullets Matched In
May make winter layers. They are
active and not likely to accumulate
fat during the full and winter, which
are Mkely to freeze; but all hens, to
be profitable must have houses warm
enough to prevent such injury. White

dug. Into this the liquid manure runs
and Is thence conveyed to tho LIQUID

No farm In Denmark is without its
liquid manure tank, Mr.. Gigault saw
one farm Of ak and a quarter acres no

mark Is thirty to forty bushels per
acre. This is very large. The ex-

which Is considered q very important
constituent. Many agriculturists hold
that COW, to give milk, must have.
in the daily allowance Of water. two
ounces Of phosphate of lime.
The dissemination Of agricultural
knowledge was the cause of the ex-
Gellemce of the Danish farming sys.
tom. Another thing noticeable In
Denmark was the excellence of the
public roads. which provided the farm
er with very necessary means Of
transport, enabling him to bring his
goods direct to the large centers.
where he could dispose Of his produce
without having to employ an inter
mediary. Mr.. Gigault had not found
Belgium or France SO far advanced In
agricultural methods as Denmark.
Mr.. Gigault pointed out how the
success Of the Danish agriculturists
was In part due to their cduca tional
system. In the Danish agricultural
school lessons Of patriotism were not
neglected AMI the students were
taught to love their country. Mr.. CT
gault had once asked Danish farm.
or, who had complained to him Of the
dearness Of land and other drawbacks,
why he would not come to Canada,
where lands were cheap. The Dane
had replied that he loved his country
too much to leave 1t, even where he
anight improve his material condition.

leather stretched over springs, without
any regard to the disposition of the
prominent bones which rest upon 1t

dies are those that are soft

almost exclusively on the perineal Or

this Is entirely wrong, and 1t is calcu-
lated to initiate greatly against the
nnquestioned general advantages Of
the bicycle as a means Of exercise.
REGARDED mechanically, such seat

at the expense Of tho propulsion Of the
machine. As the springs are compress.
ed under the weight Of the rider, the
first work that the leg produces In
bearing upon the pedal consists in
easing these springs by elevating the
body, and not In actuating the ma.
chine. Upon the track, where It is i'm.
perative that the racer shall not waste
his strength the saddles have no
spring. But the form Of the saddle Is
Of much greater importance than its
suspension. An experienced French
cyclist has elaborated with DR.. Ham.

vention OF saddle, which. being built
pm scientific lines, will not only be
more conducive to the comfort OF the
rider. but will undoubtedly result In
increasing the speed Of bicycle work.
