BLASTING WITH LIME.
The Lesson an Army Omcer Learn
From an Old Quarrvman

The LessOn an Army Omcer Learned
From an Old Quarryman.
Apropos of the late Gen. Newton's
death is q little story he told twenty
years ago, when his work at He'll Gate
made him a much-talked-of man.
Il was In the quarry country Of In
diana," said he, where they take out
great blocks of Oolytic limestone with
out the use of a pound of powder. 1
had heard of the process and l took
a team to Greensburg and drove down
to n quarries to see The superin-
tendent. was a Welshman of unprom-
Using appearance. He was certainly
an uneducated man, so far as colleges
went, but he knew his business.
Il asked him how he managed to
blast such huge blocks of the rock
and how much dynamite was required
to the ton. He said he did not use
dynamite or any other explosive. He
simply used unslaked lime. 1t aston
tshed me, but before he took me to the
quarry he set up a piece of pine board
an inch thick against a wall of rock,
brought out a revolver and fired ut the
board.
'The bullet passed through, latten-
ed against the stone and fell to the
ground. Then lie set up the board
again, threw the fiattened bullet
against the board with astonishing
skill, striking it each time in the same
place, and after the fifth cast the
board was split from top to bottom.
81 didn't use al much force when
l threw as when l shot, did ~ he
said. But the board would never split
along the grain by shooting ut it. l
could tear that board into pieces
shooting, but If 1 want to break it in
long sections on the grain I don't want
to use such sudden force.
"'That is how I blast with lime.'
"And then he took me to the quarry.
They had drilled q series Of holes in
the place he had marked, his judg-
ment and trained intelligence telling
him where the dividing line should
run. Then they tamped the holes full
OF unslaked lime, pouring water on 1t,
keyed them shut and waited. In
twelve hours the mass of rock he
wanted would begin with groans and
cracking to separate. In sixteen hours
1t would be free, and the force of the
lime would be spent.
"'1f I used powder or dynamite
said he, I would rip out such a mass
as that in fifteen minutes; but it would
be Clipped AID cracked into a hundred
pieces. Or, more likely, in a large
blast, the powder would simply tear it
out q way along the least resistance,

The Horse Is Here to stay.

1t is nonsense to talk about ''the
elimination of the horse" He is here
to stay, and here to win as great hon
ors as any gained by racer or roadster
in the past. So long as men admire
one of the most intelligent, one of the
noblest of animals, SO long will they
ride the horse and drive the horse, and
find zest and pleasure to be gained in
no other way. The progress of inven-
tionfAnay bring into vogue for a certain
time and to a certain extent many a
curious vehicle. Like the wheel, ;"
the horseless carriage may find, in
deed, some degree of lasting favor.
But until all lovers of outdoor exer-
else shall be placidly content to be
mere motormen viii the horse continue
to find, year after year, his full quota
of warm and appreciative admirers on
the road.-Boston Globe.

Feed the Hens Regularly.

1t is not good plan to keep food be-
fore flock of hens all the time. If
this is done they will get atand lazy
and not take enough exercise to keep
them in laying condition. It is the
best plan to have fixed time for feed
ing fowls, especially at night. and. not
feed them at irregular intervals. If
they are fed at about the same time
every evening they will soon learn
when to come for it and will be con-
tent until that time. If feed is thrown
to them at all sorts of times they will
come rushing around you as soon as
you make your appearance, and a good
many of them will stay close to the
house all day in expectation of being
fed. The best way to feed hens in the
summer is to feed them in the morn
ing and again just at night. and not
give them anything to eat between
times If kept confined they will be
fed at noon, of course.-Farm News.

No Other Work That Affords as Much
Pleasure and Profit.
There is no other work on the farm
perhaps, that affords more pleasure
and often profit if we'll managed, as
the care of the poultry. In the first
place, the chicken house should be
free from lice and vermin. The
chicken coops should be made so that
they can be quickly cleaned; board
floors are best for early chickens,
ground floors will do later; both
should be cleaned often and sprinkled
with dry dust and lime. Stale bread
dipped in sweet or sour milk, with the
scrapings from the table, makes a food
for young chickens. Fat meat, the ref
use of hams, shoulders and sides, cut
fine and fed to them twice week will
both cure and prevent gapes l tried
this experiment about five years ago
with a flock of chickens that were bad
ly afflicted with gapes. The result
was, the chickens were entirely cured
of gapes. We have not had the gapes
since, and have used it ever since as
preventive
Hens may be set a early as Fe bruarv
or March, if comfortable quarters are
prepared for them. Five or six hens
can be set at one time, as fifty chick
ems are as easily taken care of as
twenty-five if the. coops are not scat
tered. One hen can take care of twenty
chickens. Select the tamest hens; they
always make the best mothers A
piece of sod inverted and sprinkled
with lime makes good nest
One tablespoonful of copperas dis

quarts of mill feed will keep the

hundred fowls. Dandelion cut up and

BOB roNG,s DUCKS.
They Grew Fat Without Amy Expense -
Their Owner.

Their Owner.
The Wilmington DELI News tells
story of a poultry-xeeper of that city
which might fairly be headed ''im-
portant if true" MIR. Tong, the per-
son in question, has been sadly puz-
zled of late with regard to his flock OF
ducks; they got off their feed" and
nothing that he could tempt them
with succeeded in inducing them to
eat as of yore. The strange part of it
was that, while they appeared to De
lazy, their health was unimpaired, and
they grew fatter and fatter.
Mr.. Tong told his friends about the
mystery, and, like him, they all gave
it up. He was speedily coming to the
conclusion that he had produced q
breed of ducks that, chameleon-like,
would live on wind. when Police Ser
geant Massey solved the mystery. The
sergeant was hurrying to the report
ing place, when, coming down in the
middle of Market street, he saw Bob
longs ducks.
They came in Indian file, mammoth
drake in the lead The ducks wad-
died as they came, and desultory
conversation appeared to be going on,
judging from the quack quacks that
were heard along the line. The SER
geant was interested, and, as he was
ahead of time, he followed the ducks,
walking quietly and keeping in the
shade.
The ducks stopped under the first
arc light and ate the large pile of in
sects which had been killed or MANNED
by the lights When all the bugs had
been devoured, the ducks went on to
the next electric tight, and kept on I'M
til they were SO gorged with bugs that
they could only barely waddle back to
longs stable.
The secret was out. The ducks had
been living on bugs. So well did they
love the diet, that they gorged them
selves until they could eat no other
kind of food.
Sergt. Massey was interested. The
next night he watched for the ducks,
and they came as usual The next
night he was at the stable when the
courthouse clock struck two When
the last note echoed over the city, the
ducks emerged from the stable. 81

THIS CORN is KING.
A New Variety Four Times the Size of
the Prevailing Kind.

New Variety Four Times the Size of
the Prevailing Kind.
Samples of corn of giant species
have been obtained from Peru by the
departments of agriculture. The grains
are four times the size of those of or
binary maize. and Secretary Morton be-
lieves that the plant may be turned to
most valuable account in this country.
1t is very prolific and bears ears of
huge dimensions. The species is quite
distinct from any known in North
America, and the name Yea amylacea"
has been given to it.
The grains are extraordinarily
starchy, even for corn; hence the name
"amylacea.'' Already ten distinct va
rieties of the species have been ascer-
tanned. One of them would probably
be excellent for canning, inasmuch as
it contains an unusual percentage of
sugar. 1t has been named Yea amyl-
acea saccharata.'' Undoubtedly the
species is derived from the same
source as the maize of the United
States All known varieties of this
cereal, it is believed, came originally
from the ''zea tunicata," or clothed"
corn, which still grows wild in Mexico.
Each grain on an ear of this primitive
maize is inclosed in little husk. It is
believed that the earliest home of the
maize plant was the highlands of cen
trail Mexico. The vegetable originated
in circumscribed locality, above 4, 500
fa It elevation, north of the lsthmus of
Tehuantepec and south of the twenty
second degree of north latitude, near
the ancient seat of the Maya tribes.
The Mayas were the first to cultivate
it, and from them the use of it spread
forth and south. Probably corn was
known all along the Rio Grande by 700
A. D. Three hundred years later it
had reached the coast of Maine. In
Peru the Incas grew it before the year
ZOO The tombs of ancient Peruvians
are commonly found to contain maize.
They built great irrigation works to
help the cultivation of corn.

PREsERvING EGGS.
Old Methods Which Have Been Tried and |
Never Found Wanting.

Old Methods Which Have Been Tried and
Never Found Wanting.
There is no known method by which
eggs can be kept to be equally good as
fresh eggs, but there are many ways
OF preserving them so as to make a fair
substitute for use in the kitchen. The
great object to be attained is to pre-
vent evaporation. Cutting off the air
from the contents of the shell pre-
serves them longer than any other
treatment. At present cold storage is
considered the best method of prcserv-
ing eggs, but few have the necessary
facilities, and where the amount is
small one of the following recipes
will be found acceptable:
Eggs may be preserved by packing
small end down in salt, sand or dry
bran, care being taken that they do
not touch each other. They must be
well covered with the packing mate
rial and kept in a cool place. If pre-
ferred, they may be wiped before pack
ing with vaseline, to VIII ich salicylic
acid has been added, or given coating
Of salt butter, or covered w it'll spirit
varnish made by dissolving gum
sh ellac in alcohol
For preserving in lime a pickle is
made in the following way: Take
twentyfour gallons of water, twelve
pounds of unslacked lime and four
pounds of salt, or in that proportion,
according to the quantity of eggs to
be preserved. Stir several times daily
and then let stand until the liquor has
settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip off the clear liquid,
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take five ounces each of baking soda,
cream of tartar, saltpeter and borax
and an ounce of alum. Pulverize and
mix these and dissolve in gallon of
boiling water, and add to the mixture
about twenty gallons of pure lime
water. This will about fill cider bar
rel. Lower the eggs in carefully in
basket or colander, SO as not to crack
any of the shells, letting the water al
ways stand an inch above the eggs,
which can be done by placing a barrel
head a little smaller upon them and
weighing it. The eggs should remain
in the brine until ready for use. If it
evaporates more water may be added,
but the pi exile should never be used
more than once. These proportions
Will give brine enough to preserve
about one hundred and fifty dozen
eggs.

Trap lights have been tried but the
results are>considered of very doubtful
benefit, as is also the method of at

remedy is the planting of few rows of
particularly early corn, to which the
worms are very partial When they
concentrate their energies on these
the rows may be cut up aud fed to

of the injurious brood, but fall plow-
