DIVISION OF THE RACES.

Strange Ideas of TheosopSists Regarding
the Popping of the Earth.
The theosophical leaders of the world
have very curious belief, which is
seldom alluded to outside of the soci-
ETY.. Theosophical philosophy divides
human existence on this globe into
seven races, or seven great families of
people. According to the same philos-
ophy, five of these races have already
appeared, the human family to-day
representatives of the fifth division
The original or primitive division, &C
cording to this extraordinary belief,
was race of beings in which the two
sexes were combined in single indi-
vidual. This curious creature, the
last representative of which probabl
became extinct thousands of years
since, was of gigantic size and had two
perfect backbones and two spinal cords
Annie Besant, VIM. @. Judge and
other theosophical lights profess to be-
lieve that the world is ripe for the ad-
vent of the sixth race. According to
their ideas, the sixth race will be
made up of individuals similar to those
of the first race" They will be giants
in stature (averaging about thirty-two
feet in height, will have the character
istic double spinal column, and will
each be provided with three eyes, the
third great optical search-light being
situated in the center of the forehead.
The first of these giant monstrosities
will be looked upon as curiosities, but
they will multiply at very rapid rate
and soon predominant. They will
finally squeeze regulation humanity
out of existence, and will, in course of
time, be superseded by the seventh and
last race, which will be composed OF
beings entirely sexless!-St. Louis Re-
public.

HOMEMADE DEVICE FOR COOLING MILK.
better), as follows: To AKA timber,
A feet long, are attached two circular
platforms feet in diameter; these
platforms are % inches apart. On the
lower one the cans containing milk
and cream are placed. on the upper
one crooks of butter or other articles
that one desires to keep cool.
The cans are made of heav-
lest tin 81 inches in diameter
and 20 in height. TO them are secured
handles inches from the top; on these
handles set the can covers, which are
inches in diameter at the closed end,
haring to 10 inches at the other end.
These covers are inches deep, and
when in proper place on the cans there
is considerable air space over and
around the top of the cans, allowing
the gas and odors to escape, but pre-
venting the water from entering when
all are submerged in the well. Milk
is set for "a hours. Each morning and
evening the cage is raised, new milk is
put on, and that which has been on for
"a hours is skinned. This skinned
milk is always sweet. To the han dies
of the cans are hooked small wooden
tags marked respectively M, E, c,
standing for morning, evening, cream,
which enables one at a glance to deter
mine the contents of can and age Of
milk. The can is weighted with brick
attached to the bottom SOFAS to give the
necessary weight to sink cans and con-
tents as deeply as desired, and assist
in maintaining their upright position.
This apparatus was used all through
the hot summer months of last year
and continued last winter, with the
result of always obtaining firm, sweet
and high colored butter.-J. S. Fowler,
in Orange Judd Farmer.

ACCESSIBILITY of Dehorninr,

If there is any doubt of the advisable
ity of dehorning cattle in general,
there can be no doubt of the advisa-
bility of dehorning the bad-tempered
animal that is prone to drive his fell
lows from the water or feed trough, or
from the shelter. This animal does
not profit from the hurt it does others.
The quarrelsome animal never makes
as much fat or milk from its feed as it
would were it quiet and peaceable, and
it reduces the thrift of the animals it
deprives of feed, water or shelter, if it
does not injure them. In nearly every
case such an animal will be thorough
ly reformed by dehorning; it will be
among the most peaceable among the
herd In the few cases in which this
effect is not produced the animals ca
pacity to injure it's fellows is much
lessened, and they will soon learn this
and will not be imposed upon by it,

THE NATIONAL ROAD.
A Historical Highway Partially Built by
the General Government.

A Historical Highway Partially Built by
the General Government.
Are you old enough to remember the
national road?
Before railroads were either plenty
or much needed, the general govern
ment undertook that historic highway
starting from Baltimore and going
through. Wheeling and Cincinnati to
the Mississippi river. The work was,
in general, SO good that it took several
years of neglect on the part of the
local authorities, after the highway
was surrendered to the counties, to
make the national look like the other
roads in it's vicinity. That road was
built for military purposes, and now
the people are asked to do work of the
same kind for their own pleasure, con-
venience and profit.
Pioneers will tell you what an ad.
vantage the national road was to them
in the early days. 1t will be found
also that the prosperous new state in
pioneer times was known by its SUI
peripr state roads. By tradition and
almost by hereditary instinct the Amer
lean people ought to be nation Of
road builders.
The trouble is that, in the general
rush and hurry of improvement in 9TH
err directions, the steam railroad and
even the trolley lines bid fair to take
the item of road building out of the
hands of the people altogether. Sure
ly, besides these means of transit and
transportation, neighborly, civilized
nation like this needs good roads that
will be, so to speak, the peoples own
private thoroughfares for their use in
the friendly intercourse Of life!
The shiftless road maker has long
been subject of ridicule; but the
good-roads movement finds him nui-
sance and an obstruction. His methods
must be summarily swept aside.-Once
a Week.

MILK-cooLING DEVICE.
This Apparatus Is as Effective In Winter
as 1t Is In Summer.


Over well of cool water erected
suitable covering to protect it from the
hot sun, and the dairy operator and
his appliances from inclement weather

is fastened in the roof over the center

inches are nailed one end to the well
curb and the other end to the roof
frame; these are set parallel 21 feet
apart and have holes of suitable size
into which are inserted the ends of an
iron pipe ~ inches in diameter and
feet in length. To one end of the
pipe is attached an old cutting box
balance wheel with handle. The rope
from the pulley block is secured to the
iron pipe, and, turning the wheel, very
easily lowers or raises the cage, whic.
is fastened to one of the pulleys.

RASPBERRY CANE RUST.

Experiments in Combating the Disease
Have Been Successful.
Cane rust is probably always present
tions, but in average seasons vigorous
plants are able to resist the disease and
mature crop of fruit while in very
dry seasons the plants cannot perfect
the fruit, the wood for the next year and
resist the disease, and as consequence
the fruit is the part that is especially
liable to suffer. A peculiar trait of this
disease is that it does not seem to affect
the vigor of growth of the young canes,
but Injuries the crop just when it is
ripening. Experiments in combating
this disease have been quite successful.
Judging from the result of expert
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1895-07-24

ments in the prevention of cane rust,
it would seem that the most ational
treatment for it is as follows:
In the spring, before the canes start,
spray them with solution of sulphate
of copper (blue vitrioD made by dissolv-
ing one pound of it in fifteen gallons
of water. Later, spray the new cane
with Bordeaux mixture, probably
about three times, at intervals of about
two weeks, commencing as soon as the
new canes are one foot high. Care
should be taken not to get the Bor-
deaux mixture on the leaves of the
fruit-bearing canes, as they are quite
liable to be burned by it.-Farm and
