Rich Artists in London.

London is the paradise Of painters.
When you see rich man in London
you are safe in saying that he is an
artist. The fine houses in London do
not belong to the nobility-they be-
long to the painters. I know of a
painter in London who does land
scapes with cattle in the foreground
and ruined abbeys in the middle dis
lance. the sort of pictures that are
sure to win an r. A. for man, but
which you and would not care to
own and yet their painter says it Is
a bad year with them when he doesn't
make $4,000 by his brush. English
men spend thousands of pounds for
pictures where Americans spend hun
dreds Of dollars. Americans found IL
Observation-Disclosures found picture gal
leries. A rich Australian thinks moth
ing of spending $4,000 or 100000 at
the Royal Academy's private view.
What is more he buys pictures paint
ed by Englishmsn. When m Ameri-
can pays big price for Il picture he
paws it to foreign artist, not because
the foreigner paints better than the
American. but because the purchaser
thinks that it makes him seem man
of cosmopolitan tastes-a citizen OF the
world.-'rhe Critic.

Sheep Notes.

Sheep must have pure air and plenty
of it.; see that the sheds are we'll venti-
lated.
Do not feed corn to pregnant ewes,
if it can be avoided; it develops too
much heat and fat.
Keep an eye on the sheep at this
season; if insect or scab is found
treatment should follow at once.
Sheep should be able to seek shelter
or take to the open at it's option. Con-
slant confinement or exposure is not
we'll.
When feeding sulphur to sheep they
should be protected from rain or melt
ing SHOWS; in fact, they should be so
protected under all circumstances.
A very thin lanly or Sheep if given
the run Of the stock yards pleasant
days will nearly always pick up faster
than if shut up close and fed grain.
1t is not safe to feed millet seed, or
millet hay the seed of which was fully
matured to stock, though sheep will
take better care of it than any other
animal, since they masticate their food
more finely.

Setting Fence Posts.

H Posts that are to be placed in clay
soil which Is liable to heave by the
action of frost will retain their origin.
Ialsposition longer if they are set in dug
holes instead Of being driven. Unless
all the sharpened portion is placed be-
low the action of the frost, and even
then, If at the time of freezing the soil
is soaked with water, the action Of
frost is liable to raise the post up
ward. However, as soon as frost
leaves the soil a few blows on the top
Rof the post with a heavy maui will
return it to its original depth, which
could not be so easily done it the post
were square at the bottom, so earth
would fall in the cavity. On most
soils sharpened posts are best, and
when of durable material like cedar,
oak or chestnut, and when the fencing
material is wire, post four inches in
diameter will last as long and be just
as serviceable as one six or more
inches in diameter, and the cost is

Doctorea cosnac.

In a thoughtful pamphlet just is
sued by DR.. Solomon, "Sur l. Alcool ct
lla Depop1lation de In France" find
a recipe for mixture which, added
to any kind OF eau-de-vie, will impart
to it the bouquet of cognac. Take a
mixture of castor Oil, butter, cocoanut
oil, and other fats and allow nitric
acid to act on it., The product is a
mixture of propyiic, butylic, amylic,

methyl, ethyl and amyl alcohols, and a
product is yielded from 100 to $50
grammes of which will convert II pipe

can not help smiling sadly when one
remembers that thousands of individ-
uals pay up to franc for a small
glassful Of this poison, declaring as

Huge Masses of Earth Now Easily

Huge Masses of Earth Now Easily
Removed by Aqueous 'Rattering
Rams.
Within the past ten or twelve years
the uses Of hydraulic monitors" and
little giants,' of California mining
fame. as means of earth excavation
have become pretty we'll appreciated
among engineers, says Casters
Magazine, and water jets have become
successfully applied to variety OF en-
cheering purposes, for which only a
short time previously they would new
er have been thought of. Pile driving
with water jets now so common, is
only one modification of the general
method while the removal of heavy
earth banks by these aqueous batter
ing rams is another which is deserved
~ working it's way into favor. What
has led to these reflections is revis-
ed reversion, recently published, Of
an account of the removal several
years ago Of some river bluffs over
hanging the tracks OF one of the rail-
road lines in the western part of the
United States. This was accomplish
gu d1luOSL w uOllS w tAC SA1plOJ uuCAAe
Of jets Of water under high pressure,
bringing the cost Of excavation down
to the low figure of i. 10 cents per Gu
bic yard. It recalls also a neat job
carried out a few years ago in the
way of filling in large area Of land
just under water and bringing it up
to level Of several feet above the wa
ter line. Large sand hills ranged along
the shore close by these hollows. The
work got into the hands of two old
California miners. who applied modi-
fed hydraulic mining outfit to its exc
cution. They bought couple of large
pumps, which delivered water from
the bay on the tops Of thessand hills
through an iron pipe, and then. by
means of series of boxes and sluices,
they carried the dirt and sand which
the water washed down from the hills
out to the spot to be filled. In this
way several acres of land were made
at an expense which was merely nom-
inal. The pumps and boiler were
practically worth as much after the
work was done as when they were
first purchased; handling of material
with additional cost there was none;
and the whole operation was complet-
ed in a remarkably short space OF
time

When the hay loft is cleaned out the
refuse should always be saved for
poultry. The broken leaves ana the
thousands Of seeds afford the hens
quite luxury, and they will work In
dustriously all day in order to lind
every seed. They also consume the
leaves, and find such food an agreeable
change from the grain. Even the lit
tie chicks in the breeders will enjoy
the same and be benefited.

How to Measure an Acre.


1t is desirable-in fact, Indispensable
for good work that farmer should
know how many acres are in his field.
Otherwise he cannot apportion seed
or manure for it, nor can he tell how
much time it should take to plow har-
row or cultivate. A good cotton cord,
the size of plow line, should be
kept for this purpose. To make one,
buy 81 feet OF cotton rope an inch
round, fasten q ring at each end and
make these rings precisely &C feet
apart. This is four rods. Tie a piece
of red rag in the center. One acre
Of ground will be u piece four of these
cords long and IL wide, equal to 16
by 10 rods, making 100 square rods
to an acre. The advantage of the rings
is that one person can measure alone
by driving a stake in the ground to
hold the rope while he stretches it out.
The rope should be soaked in tar ana
then dried. This will prevent shrink
ing.
Last year a neighbor of the writer
had a heavy sod plowed by contract at
$3.50 per acre. Three persons stepped
it off. One said it was four acres.
another said it was little over i've,
and the third said it was IL acres.
The contractor sent over and got this
rope. and all five men measured 1t,
and it was found to be Just 3 10
acres. Hc had paid to have the grass
cut off it for three years 81 per acre.
or IS each season. counting it to be
five acres In extent. thus losing $3.50
through ignorance.
Get a measuring rod and when not
in use. put it away, SO that the hands
cannot get at it, or they will be very
apt 10 cut piece off 1t to tie up har-
ness, thus making it worthless for
measuring purposes.
How Much Butter Can he Made Fr0m

Time does not permit me to 60 into

ounces OF butter. TO find our how
