Uses for Old Corks.

Corks are thrown away in great
quantities, and very few people think
that there is any value attached to that
material after it has served its pur-
pose once as stopper Of 4 bottle. New
ertheless it has become one of the most
valuable components Of a city's refuse.
Great quantities Of used corks are now
used again in the manufacture of in
sulatirg covers of steam pipes and
boilers, points to be protected from the
influence of heat. Powdered cork is
very useful for filling in horse collars,
and the very latest application of this
material is the filling in of pneumatic
tires with cork shavings. Mats for
bathrooms are made of cork exclusive
ly, and 1t also goes into the composition
of linoleum. Cheap life preservers are
now filled exclusively with bottle stop

are now 300 Europeans; Germany, 400,-
600 square miles; Italy, 547, 900 square
miles; and Portugal has now a de-
fined territory extending over 10000
square miles. France, moreover, has
been active farther north, in the Sa-

The Cheapest and Beat Meat.

Young animals always gain most
from feed, and their meat is also gen.
orally the best and highest in price. An
old farmer who used to buy cattle to
feed every fall once remarked that he
never lost anything by feeding young
animal and never made anything by
feeding an old one. Up to three years
old, part Of the feed goes to make
growth, and this gain is always greater
in proportion than the gain of mature
animals while they are being fattened.
SO far rs different kinds of animals are
concerned, meat is much the most
cheaply made in the form of pork. The
hog has less proportion of waste than
any other domestic animal. 1t is fed
mainly on concentrated food. There
fore it's stomach Is small. Its legs are
shorter than those ofeother animals
and even to Its feet they make good eat

FACTS FOR FARMERS,
sluggard Farmers Raise Indifferent
Cattle and Make No Money-conve-
nient Poultry House Door Power Of
the wind Manager for Horses.



An observant dairyman writes that
In his part of the country well-kept
farms and well-bred>cattle are always
found together, while rundown places
and scrub cattle go hand In hand.
These conditions prevail everywhere
where men stop long enough to in
vestigate. They also extend further
than our friend has mentioned. All
animals found on the well-kept farm
are Of higher grade than those kept at
the rundown. place. Poultry, hogs.
sheep, horses and cattle are all of bet
ter stock at the former place than ut
the latter. The difference rests largely
with the men, The owner of the we'll
kept farm Is farmer and demonstrates
it, while the owner of the rundown es-
adjustment thinks he is such, yet the
testimony Of his labors contradicts
him. The man wise enough to keep his
farm In the best possible shape Is al
ways prudent enough to stock 1t with
animals that reflect good judgment in
their selection. The man in control OF
a rundown place never exhibits char
acteristics that leave him open to sus-
picion that he knows anything about
prudence in farm matter or Is capable
of good judgment in such affairs. He
Is usually a sluggard mentally, and
physically he is in state Of chronic
WEAKNESS. This union Is adverse to
the mans advancement, and makes him
the mere creature of his environment.
The result is present in dilapidated
dwelling and farm buildings, fences out
Of repair and stock unworthy of their
keep. The quality Of farmer Is al
ways revealed by the care bestowed on
his farm. Our friend Is right in his
conclusion that well-bred cattle and
well-kept farms go hand in hand The
man with brains enough to be farm
er will not waste effort or time with
inferior stock.

steam up the Bosphorus and throw a
shell into his palace, and that Is the
first object to be thought of. The incl
dent which led to the order for the ex-
tinctlon Of the Turkish navy was as
follows: A transport was bringing a
number of time-expired men home,
when they respectfully mutinied, and
begged their officers to 60 below, as
they wished to do something which
might not be approved of. Some non
commissioned officers then took COM
mand, and anchored on Dolma Bagt-
oheh, and. after firing small salute,
began shouting, "Long live the Sultan!"
This demonstration caused immedi-
ate confusion at the palace, and vari-
Gus high officials Were dispatched 10
parley with the mutineers; but they
insisted on seeing the minister, and
when he at last appeared he said that
they knew the Sultan had given the
money to pay them, but that they had
not received 1T, and they would not
bulge until they did. No arguments
were of any avail, and the money had
to be sent for and distributed, after
which the men weighed anchor with a
cheer, and gave up the ship again.
The Sultan, however, reelected that
what transport had done peaceably
a heavily armed man-of-war might do
with evil intent, and, calling Hassan
Pasha to him, he declared that he
wanted no more navy. In this light
hearted manner branch of national
defense, which had been the pride Of
its officers, was sacrificed to the royal
fears for personal safety, and Hassan
Pasha, who has steadily carried out
his masters program, has ever since
been In high favor, and is, to all intents

We do not believe the use Of shavings
for bedding for farm animals is any

straw can be had cheaper than the
shavings, and 1t has some value for

The great difficulty where shavings are
mixed with manure is to rot them down,
and II they are plowed under when not
