protect it against the weather. This
motor is moved from one part of the
farm or field to another, wherever

ing machines, pumps, straw-cutters.
etc. Along the edges OF the fields is
placed the electric circuit, consisting
OF bare copper wires supported on
glass insulators. By means of fexi-
BILE cable, the motor can be connected
up at any part of the field where its
service is required.
When, in the fall, the threshing is
finished the motor cars are brought
back to the farmyards and used for
operating irrigation pumps. One of
these movable motors is in use during
the winter for furnishing power for
brewery and distillery located near
one of the farms.
The employment of electrical power
in farm work has several advantages
over the use of portable steam en-
gines. The motor cars are consider
ably lighter and are easier to trans
port from one place to another. There
is no hauling of coal and water re-
quired, and no time is lost in firing
up. 1t also reduces the danger of set
ting fire to grain stacks and barns.
In this country, where there are SO
many small coal mines, many of which
are not large enough to be recognized
as railroad shipping points, it is sug-
gested that similar plants, not only
for agricultural, but also for smaller
industrial purposes, might prove
practicable and profitable for the
small manufacturers and farmers of
the surrounding district, as well as
for the coal miner.

TRANSFORMATION in Corea.

Means of transport in Corea are fur
nished by donkeys, cattle, coolies and
ponies. The first named will canter ut
a good pace, and are also used for pack
and draught purposes, as are cows aud
bulls.
The Coreans are beef eating people,
and export many cattle to Japan and
Siberia. Coolies carry considerable
amount of trade goods-indeed, quite
astounding loads, being trained to 1T
from infancy-and can walk thirty
three miles a day without effort.
Ponies are employed by travellers,
and posting stations are established
about ten miles apart along all the
most important routes. "The pony
man." usually the head man of the vii
lage, has to provide ponies and lodging
for any official or other person provid-
ed with a letter authorizing him to
travel at the public expense; or should
the traveller bring ponies with him,
they and the suite must be accommo-
dated at quite nominal charge Capt.
Cayendish and his friend, under the
queer names of "Goot-a-dam" and "Ka-
fan-di-issl,' had document from the
Minister for Foreign Affairs giving
them authority to travel in the country,
and to obtain lodging, ponies, money
and servants whenever they demanded
them. OF course they paid we'll for
everything; but, as the currency of the
country is cumbrous copper cash, and
Japanese yen were not always accept
ed, they would have been often in diff
cultics but for having a "shoe," or ingot
of pure silver, from which pieces can
be cut off as required.

LISsEED MEAL.

The linseed meal used in feeding is
the ground press cake remaining after
the extraction OF the oil from the flax
seed. By the old process the oil was
not SO thoroughly removed as by the
new, hence there is considerable Diff
ference iu the composition OF the meal
under the different processes. The
new process meal does not contain
half the amount of fat (oiD found in
the old, but it has rather more pro-
tein. Experiments have demonstrated
that the new process contains more
fertilizing ingredients than the old
process, and the net cost is therefore
less. But, on the other hand, the
yield of milk and the percentage Of
fat is higher on the old-process meal.
Oil cake, as the old-process meal is
termed, has been very popular in Eng
land for over O century. 1t is largely
imported from America, always, how
ever, in its original form of cakes as
it issues from the hydraulic presses
which extract the oil. The manure
resulting from its use is so exceeding
ly rich that in England an outgoing
tenant always claims and receives
compensation therefor. Oil meal may
be given to COWS up to two or three
pounds per head daily. 1t has ten
dency to make the butter soft, while
cotton-seed meal will harden it. The
latter is q richer and more concentrat.
ed feed than the linseed meal. 1t is
not, however, so highly esteemed, nor
is the flavor of the butter produced
equally good. The wisest way is to
mix the different foods SO as to secure
the best flavor, grain and hardness in
the butter. 1t is also well to remem-
ber that the latter depends to some
extent upon the making. New York

.Iananese Battle songs.

Like most nations, the japanese nave
had their war songs from the time they
had any existence as people, put we
are told that the lyrics which were used
nv the soldiers in the time of the nrst
great Emperor of Japan, Jimmu Tenno,
$50 B. c., were particularly rhythmicai
and finished. Japanese songs, with the
execution of the heroic or historical
ones. are all short, and when these are
sung in times Of peace, they are SGT 10
the Koto.
The first Of these up-to-date martial
songs is entitled Gallant WARRIORS
If warriors go to war by land, the
turf shall receive the bodies Of the slain.
If warriors go to war by sea, the ocean
shall receive the bodies Of the slain.
From time immemorial our gallant
warriors have gone forth in swarms.
Human life lasts but for fifty years;
who would wish to purchase few mis-
cradle years Of life at the cost OF dis
honor? March and fire as long as
breath remains, for our lives are at the
disposal of the sovereign, our bodies
are to be sacrificed to the glory Of the
country; let soldiers die with all their
wounds in front. The souls of those
who thus defy death shall be through
the ages to come the guardian angels
of Oriental tranquility. So, go fortt,
go forth, ye warriors; warriors, go
forth!

VALUE or GEArN cHAFF.

The chaff OF grain has higher nu-
tritive value than any part of the
stalk. 1t Is the part nearest the
grain. Probably in green straw
some of the nutriment on its way
through the sap to the grain is de-
tanned before it reaches the place it
started for. Cattle that have good
hay will always eat some oat or barley
chaff for change, if given a small
quantity every day. Yet when stock
are made with too little help to get
away the straw, most of the chat falls
beneath the carrier. 1t is heavier
than the straw, because it is more
compact, and because the man stand
ing under the carrier is always tread
ing the chaff under his feet The last
years we were farming we used to go
with team and pole wagon where the
carrier had been, and pile it full with
the chaff to put in the barns. 1t saved
the feeding of much hay and any
stock, except cows giving milk, did
quite well on it. We never could
feed straw or grain chat to milch COWS
without lessening their yield. Some
scatter the chaff through the stack,
but this requires good deal of un-
necessary labor, and even then there
will always be more chaff left under
the straw carrier. 1t vets through
the first rain storm and unless put
under shelter soon rots down and be-
comes worthless before cold weather

ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.

During the summer of 1894 new
and successful attempt was made to
introduce electricity for power trans
mission in farming, and the result has
been so satisfactory that the New
York World thinks it is worthy OF
wide attention.
The experiment was made in Austria.
The plant consists of central station
operated in connection with planning
mill located near the centre of the es-
tate. From the central station two
power circuits of a total length Of
about six miles are operated. One OF
these furnishes current for a grist
mill, farm and dairy. The other
circuit supplies two separate farms.
At the grist mill, which is ordinarily
run by water power, the motor is used
only at such time of the year when the
water power is unavailable. At the
dairy there is ten horsepower motor
running pump and different smaller
appliances. At each of the farms is
twelve horsepower motor mounted on

Mrs. " Curley, who has resided in Clarence,
Iowa, for the past twenty-five years, tells an
interesting story of what she considers rescue
from premature death. Her narrative is as
follows:
"For ten years prior to 1894, l was con-
slant sufferer from acute stomach trouble
had all the manifold symptoms OF acute dys-
pepsia, and at times other troubles were pres
ent in complication-I did not know what it
was to enjoy a meal. No matter how careful
I might be as to the quality, quantity and
preparation of my food, distress always fol-
lowed eating. 1 was despondent and blue.

relieve your suffering is by the use Of opium.
About this time a friend Of mine, Mrs.
symantha Smith, OF Glidden, Iowa, told me
about the case of Mrs. Thurston, Of Oxford
Junction, Iowa. This lady said she had been
afflicted much the same rs l had. She had
consulted local physicians without relief, and
had gone to Davenport for treatment. Giving
up all hope of recovery, she was persuaded
by a friend to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
