Japan's Great Cathedral.

When foreign architects visit japan
and see the Cathedral of Buddhism for
the first time they are generally as.
tonished at the magnificent structure.
II IL executed In pure Oriental style,
and Is richly ornamented with cary.
ings. II. Ito, famous builder Of
Nagova City, designed It. The stiuc
ture was commenced In 1873, and was
completed this year. The cost has been
estimated at S17,0)0,O00. II would have
greatly exceeded this amount had not
numbers OF Buddhists worked without
any recompense.
As the structure neared completion
the committee having the work In
charge was much perplexed as to fire
Insurance. They found that no com.
pany would assume the risk on such q
valuable wooden structure, the danger
Of destruction by fire being very great,
and thus the premiums would amount
to an enormous sum of money. At last
the committee decided on design de-
vlsed by DIR. Tanabe. Numbers OF
powerful foundations were construct
cd, both exterior and interior, which
can be made to play on all parts of the
structure ut the same time.
Usually only one great ornamental
fountain Is playing, rising TO the great
hight Of 157 feet. This is probably the
largest artificial fountain I'm existence,
emitting S2,0S0 gallons per hour. In
case of fire all the water pressure Is di
rected through the numbers Of exterior
and interior fountains, thus every part
OF the structure, both inside and out,
could soon be drenched, and any con.
dagration soon extlnguished.

BARRELING APPLES.

Many Of the most profitable opera
tions in commercial life depend in the
first instance upon very simple facts.
Most persons would pass by without
observing the barreling of apples as a
case in point. Ii apples were placed
loosely IN barrels they would soon
rot, though passing over but very
short distance of travel and yet when
properly barreled they can be sent
thousands of miles, even over the
toughest ocean voyage, in perfect se-
curity. This is owing to fact dis
covered years ago, without any one
knowing particularly the reason, that
an apple rotted from bruise only
when the skin was broken. An apple
can be pressed so MS to have linden.
tations over its whole surface, without
any danger Of rotting, provided
the skin is not broken.
In barreling apples, therefore
fore, gentle pressure is exercised, so
that the fruit is fairly pressed into
each other, and it is impossible for
any one fruit to change its place in
the barrel on its journey. Apples are
sometimes taken out of barrels with
large indentations over their whole
surface, and yet no sign of decay. In
these modern times we understand
the reason. The atmosphere is full
of microscopic germs which produce
fermentation, and unless they can get
an entrance into the fruit rot cannot
take place. A mere indentation with
out a rupture of the outer skin does
not permit OF the action OF these mi
crobes. This is a simple reason why
the early observation enable the bar
reling of apples to be SO successful. -,

In view of the dearth of yearling

where the geldings to horse the trucks

TIE RussET APPLE.

There are two or three kinds OF
Russet apples the most common being
tue English Russet which originated
in England. II is hard and tough, and
has only its long-keeping qualities to
recommend it. A much better apple
is the Golden Russet of western New
York, and it is nearly as good keeper.
1t ought to be generally planted in
place Of the English Russet. All Rus
set apples have rich Juice md make
very high quality of cider. The
tree grows with spreading habit, and
this brings IL into bearing early, but
IL is very liable to overbear, and un-
less thinning ia done vigorously, much
OF the fruit will be small and poor. -

THE pEArOWU,

Peafowls are simply ornamental and
are not readily salable. They are not
profitable ON farm, ms the male is
vindictive and destroys chicks and
ducklings that may come in his way.
The hen seldom begins to lay until ut
least two years old, and often not till
three years of age, laying from five to
sixteen eggs, which hatch in about
thirty days. Tho young peafowl
feathers very rapidly, and should be
fed every two hours the first month ;
then four times day until three
months old, when it should be given
three meals requiring a large share of
animal food, such as meat and bone.
Otherwise they require the same care
ns young turkeys. Only the peafowl
can raise them, as common hens wean
them too soon. Poultry Keeper.

breeding district In the land we get
the same report No breeding OF
any consequence in progress; few
colts last year and practically none
this spring. And not only this, but
buyer connected with the export
trade is our authority for the state
ment that sixty per cent of the cur
rent receipts of horses in the Chicago
market are mares, stallion keepers
without an occupation and the mares
going by tens of thousands into the
barns of the big dealers in the gre at
cities of the North and Europe From
these stables they never come out
save to begin career of drudgery in
the traces which lead to but one place
the bone yard. Where are the
colts to make up the requisite supply
TO come fromP
One surprising feature of the Chi
cago market at present is the great
number of active, "nervy" 1850 to
1,500 pound "chunks" being exported
by French, German and English buy
ers at prices ranging from 800 to
S160. The demand seems to have
shifted from "drivers" to chunks, and
Mt least one-half of the latter are
mares going to help horse the omni-
buses aud lighter trucks Of Old
World cities. This removes many
mares that to cover the heavy draft
stations would have given good, big
geldings for the United States in
1900, but never one of them will
nurse another foal. Query; Why
this demand for class of stock
which Europe was supposed to pro-
duce in sufficient number to satisfy its
own markets? Have the foreigners
been abandoning horse breeding of
lnte years ns well ns the farmers of
America? And If 80, to what extent
will this affect the future of market
values here?
1t is pleasant to note that few men
who have not lost their heads have re-
tained some good mares and have
kept them stinted to stations of
proper sort. These are the men who
will not DO found without choice
'drafters" to sell when the day of
reckoning arrives. Evidence is accu-
mulating to show that by another
spring many farmers will want to
patronize the stallion-keeper again,
but the colt corps of 1894, 1895 and
1896 will be found light beyond all
repair. Those who begin next spring
will be in time for the markets of
about 1902. The fact is we have now
to practically begin drafting horse
breeding anew. We have lost sub
stantially all that was gnined at such
great cost in point OF weight and
quality by the free patronage Of pure
bred horses during the 20 years end
ing with 1893, aud the coming year
will witness the beginning of the work
of reconstruction. That it will proceed
along better lines than before cannot
be doubted. Farmers have learned
by bitter experience tine difference
between mere bulk and quality, and
1t will never again be possible to i'm
pose upon them to any serious extent
with ill-bred, post-legged hulks that
never should cover a good mare.
When there are many buyers after
every big, fine "span" of geldings
in the market few years hencs will
you be caught empty .handed, or will
you be among those who, taking time
by the forelock, have prepared against
that day?-Breeder's Gazette.
