MAKING THE CLYDE.

It Took Ten Years and Cost the City
OF Glasgow $3.50. 900.
Glasgow made the Clyde, and the
Clyde made Glasgow" Toward the
close Of the last century the true trad
Ing spirit had been aroused among the
Inhabitants Of the building city, and it
was not long before they perceived
that II the community were ever to
rise to eminence in that direction the
city must become port open to the
commerce Of the world. The task was
one Of herculean dimensions, but they
set themselves to it with determine
ton Of purpose which was not to be
daunted by any degree of difficulty.
Much Of the best engineering enter
prise and skill Of the world have been
devoted to the altering, widening, mar
rowing and deepening Of the channel,
according to the requirements at diff
ferent parts Of the course. AS speci-
men Of changes that have been made
during the progress Of the work, 1t
may be mentioned that when, in 1880,
the act of parliament was passed
which defined the boundaries Of The

encountered might we'll have deferred
the authorities from proceeding
further, had that been possible. The
chief Of these was Elderslie rock, a
mass Of dolerite or whinstone, which
was found to occupy the bed Of the
stream over an area of 925 feet by 800,
and which came within ten feet of the
surface Of the water. The discovery
Of this was a shock to all concerned,
but the breaking up and removal of 1t

A Good Time to Build silos.

A Good Time to Build Silos.
1t is doubtful il there ever will be a
time when material, for a silo, may be
purchased cheaper than 1t can now.
A number of farmers seem to be TAX
ing advantage Of this fact and getting
ready to build a silo. For the man
who has the money, there Is probably
no better way in which he can invest 1t
than In a good silo. Whether the price
OF butter goes up or down, we want to
get all the butter out of our corn that
is In It; and there is no way in which
we can do this except by silo.
Did you ever stop to think, in look
ing over your corn field, there are just
SO many pounds of butter in that field?
II 1t all could be fed just when the
ear Is beginning to glaze there would
be- no loss ut oil. But as soon as we
wait a few weeks, and the fodder be-
gins to dry, there is not so much but
ter In the field as there was before.
One Of the things that we do not ur-
derstand is, why a dry cornstalk. that
has been carefully cured, and will an
alyzc just the same as a green one,
will not produce so much milk or but
tcf dS Iue green one. we explain IL
by saying that the succulence makes
the difference; but when we have said
that 1t Is succulence, we are no wiser
than we We're before. because we do
not know why it is.
But we have to accept certain facts,
even If we don't know why; and the
two that affect us the most now are,
that green corn will make more but
ter than dry, and that the corn in the
silo is the next best thing to green
corn.
There is a lot of feeding value vast
ed every year in the way the corn
crop is handled. Part of this waste
may be prevented by the proper cur
ing and housing Of the fodder; but II
the fodder is put into the silo there is
practically no Unconstitutional Stock

Repairing Broken Trees.

Elias A. Long, in American Garden
ing, says that after planting blood
leaved beech, a team in blowing got
beyond control and broke the tree
squarely off three inches from the
ground, so that it lay fat, the top at
tached to the root portion by strip no
heavier than barrel hoop. Resolving
to save it if possible, Mr.. Long dug
down to where the roots began to
branch, and drove a strong, square
stake six feet long close to the stump.
The PROSTATE tree was lifted, the
broken part adjusted, and the top tied
to the stake. Then the broken place
was coated with grating wax, four
pieces of lath one and one-half feet
long were bedded in the wax and kept
in place by pieces of wire. The
branches of the tree were pruned back
ons-third. The beech grew beautifully,
and in October, when the laths were
taken off, the union was found COM
plete. Two laths were replaced and
the tree banked up for the winter,
above the wound. Three years now
have passed; the repair is perfect and
the tree a magnificent specimen. The
stake still remains.

Farm Notes.
The more manure used the more cul-
tivation necessary. The manure helps
the weeds as well as the crop.
Do not tolerate the hired man who
merely works for wages. The man
who takes an interest in his work is
worth big pay. Z
Every farmer should know to dol
lar how much his produce costs him;
that he may determine whether the
business of the year shows a profit or
loss.
The owner of q farm who has hired
man on his farm who will take the
same interest in the farm as he would
If he owned 1t, is to be congratulated.
There are such men, but the number is
not large.
Fall blowing, whenever nature will
permit it, is one Of the most effective
methods Of combating insect pests.
BY depriving them Of shelter and ex-
posing them to the action of frosts,
great numbers will be killed of, which
otherwise would come out in the spring
vigorous and ready to attack the young
crops.
The chances in failure in almost
every every other line Of business are
greater than in agriculture. rs the
farmer usually can, in even the worst
season, make enough for his support
without cutting into his capital; but

Think how many ways it can be util-

Value Of Rye and How 1t IL Grown.
A correspondent Of the Indiana
Farmer" says few farmers properly
appreciate the value Of rye. Its value
consists in being an excellent forage
crop, being more certain of yield than
wheat, better than other small grains
for seeding down to timothy and
clover, and, finally, because 1t not only
IL not hard on the ground but actually
improves 1t. From time to time have

Make Your workmen Comfortable

Make Your Workmen Comfortable.
A manufacturer, in gossiping about
the best ways Of handling workmen,
says that the nature Of the floor of the
shop has great deal to do with the
amount Of work that is got out Of the
operative staff. He was once struck by
the difference in the apparent activity
of two sets Of men working on like
jobs at the wise in two roms of large
shop. One was in an old building and
the other was in one Of recent construc-
ton. In the former, the men stood cas-
lily and naturally at their work, and
showed no symptoms of a laundering
after seat on the bench; while in the
latter the men were shifting their
weight from one foot to the other,
throwing one leg upon the bench at
every opportunity, and showing every
evidence of foot-fatigue. The superin-
tendent guessed that the difference was
due to the floors upon which the two
gangs Of men were standing. In the
old shop the floor was of wood, springy
to a certain extent and poor conduct
or Of heat. In the new shop It was of
the most beautiful concrete, an excel
lent conductor Of heat from the feet Of
the workmen, and as unyielding as
granite rock. So the benches in the
new shop were raised a couple of
inches, and each man was given
platform Of wood that rested on two
cross-pieces at the end, and had a
slight spring to It. The fot-weariness
disappeared almost at once and no
further trouble was experienced.
Which shows that the prettiest floor is
not always the best for workmen.

Something Boys Should Know.
Every boy around the farm of suita-
BILE age should be taught how to figure
out the number of bushels of wheat
and oats in the bin and how much the
wagon box will hold. A wagon box
ten feet long, three feet wide and
twenty-five inches deep will hold 27.S
bushels Of ear corn, or 5O.2 bushels Of
shelled corn. A crib ten feet wide,
ten feet high and sixteen feet long will
hold I'll bushels of ear corn. OF ear
corn one bushel is contained in two
and one-quarter cubic feet. In figuring
shelled corn or grain, the same space
will hold one and four-fifths times as
much grain as it will Of ear corn. A
crib that will hold 800 bushels of ear
corn will hold of shelled corn or other
grain lao bushels.

ment was reached two weeks ago before
the DUPONT case was taken up. that the
Dill for the settlement of the accounts be-
tween the United States and the state Of
Arkansas should be made the unfinished
business for tomorrow. If this agreement
Is observed 1t will, for the time at least
displace the DUPONT debate. There is also
an understanding that in case 1t is made
apparent that the Cuban matter can be
speedily disposed of. the managers for
Mr.. DUPONT will not stand in the way.
Senator Sherman is exceedingly DESTROYS

way at the earliest practicable time and

who are opposing the resolutions are how
