It will probably be a long time before

It will probably be long time before electricity is used as a motive power by railroads generally, if steam is ever entirely displaced for such service; but a Buffalo inventor has patented an cleo tric device that seems to point the way to an application of electFicity as an auxiliary of the locomotive for the drawing of trains on heavy grades. The idea upon which the inventor worked is that moving trains could be made to automatically generate sufficient elec- tricity while running down grades to help the locomotives to overcome the resistance encountered on steep grades. He has made some experiments, and is satisfied that a dynamo operated auto matically by a car can send enough energy into storage battery to over come the resistance at an adverse grade equal in length to the down grade upon which the electricity is generated In operating this cOntrivance, the train hands would have to use the dynamo as a generator whenever the trains are on down grades, and switch the current back through the dynamo and use the latter as a motor when there is any climbing of grades to be done. If this contrivance will do all that its inventor claims for it. the electrical apparatus will probably be used by railroads that have heavy grades on their lines. The supplemental force would reduce the wear and tear on the engine and also cause a reductiOnn in the amount Of fuel consumed. These items of cost are important, and if any economy could be wrought in regard to them the rail- roads would gladly avail themselves of it. It would seem as though the move ment of a train could be utilized to the extent at least of providing a safe light, by the means of storage batteries.

THE FARM AND HOME
MATTERS OFINTERESTT FARM
 FER AND HOUSEWIFE.
Best Way to Care for Sweet Corn Cooking Grain for Stock - Hedges Are Soil Robbers-The Farm Work shop Valuable Building.
Caring for Seed Corn.

1 like to shuck my seed corn in the field to judge the stalk, says a core respondent of the Indiana Farmer" This year gathered it about fair time, and spread it out on hay loft. It will keep we'll in house loft which pipe goes through, or fairly we'll in grain sacks, not Shelled in shop. The sack Is some protection. But 1 am going to try this winter a plan given by pro- gressive farmer at Winchester 1nst;- tute. After corn is quite dry he puts 1t in cracker barrels mixed we'll with dry threshed oats, the corn still on the cob, and places them in dry place. This protects the grain much as nature does from sudden changes of moisture and temperature. He says his corn always shows great vitality. It is not enough that corn may grow" it should grow with vigor.
 The loft of a workshop is a typical place. 1 once bought seed that had been corded under the ceiling of dry cellar It was swelled tight on the cob, but was good seed. I never like to shell seed that shows a crumpled or blistered face. You all know what that Is. It should be glossy and bright, clean and smooth. 1 used to keep knife handy and examine the germ of most every ear, but have now become so accustomed to the "feel" of the grain that l seldom need a knife. If it shells off the cob little tough and leaves lit tie white points broken off of the grain and left sticking in the cob, I reject that ear at once. If any mold shows anywhere on the ear, it is cast aside. If 1t is a good ear and shells rattling dry and the grains are bright, glossy and flat and broad and deep, so as to drill one at time and avoid thinning, t passes. Very much extra thinning is caused by planting slim grains, 'rat- tooth,'' So that two are often dropped at once

M Poultry Yard.

Fatten the fowls just as quickly as possible. When the fattening process is begun, stuff them.
 Are t.ose broken window lights re placed l,y whole ones to keep out the wet and cold?
 When the wings are cut the feathers do not renew until the bird molts. but where the feathers are pulled new feathers will appear in short time.
 Secure a quantity of leaves for the hens to scratch in this winter. Place them in the hen house and scatter the grain therein. The fowls will get need ed exercise in hunting for it.
 It is well to make an occasional change in the ingredients of mixed foods. Oats which have been boiled for two or three hours are excellent for an occasic nal breakfast for the fowls in winter, or for an evening meal in sum- mer Buckwheat boiled Is a great egg making food.
 Select and make a purchase from some reliable breeder of such variety as may be desired, and then prepare good, warm, airy and comfortable quarters, and reap your reward in the well-filled egg baskets when eggs are high.

Methods of TilIape.

The method of blowing is not so i'm portant as the act of blowing or turn ing the sward, yet the method should differ with the soil. Sandy soils de ficient in organic matter and already open should receive a different furrow from a compact clay. The former should have a close and closed furrow or flat furrow, while the latter requires a lap furrOW. Such flIrrow loses nothing in breaking longitudinally and crosSwise in the act of turning. As such furrows blow harder, their ad- vocacy Is of doubtful propriety, for we are in the age of effective after-tillage tools in the cutaway types to harrOws. No harrow with tendency to pack the soil, like the old spillc-tooth class, whose teeth act as wedges, should be used. AS before stated. no harrow should be used for the purpose of pull verizing and of soil decomposition that does not open the soil more freely to the air than before its use. After a moderate use no harrow continues to make the soil more porous so far as in- dividual investigations throw light on the subject-COuntry Gentleman.

A bicycle scOrcher i'll Denver got in the path of fairly we'll developed hur- ricane and succeeded in riding mile in fffty-eight seconds. Perhaps the feat would have been more remarkable if he had succeeded in riding the mile in any less time when the character of the stimulus is considered. But this is not the chief use for wonder. The report adds that in this brief and flying trip he gathered in his eyes so much sand and gravel that he spent ten min- utes in restoring his sight It is pre- sumed that he practiced the same celerity in digging as he did in pedaling, and 1t Is evident therefore that who ever attempts to rival his performance must make a similar sand and gravel record. The episode opens up an en- tirely new field of cycling endeavor and should particularly encourage oculists to try for these fresh laurels. It seems to sound the knell also of the bicycle face and to pave the way for glorious future for the bicycle eye.

August Schrader, who had pictur- esque career in the West, in which the laying on" of his hands and the ''hold- ing up" of the hands of his visitors were the chief features until the authorities also went into the laying on of hands, business, has reappeared in suburb of Jersey City and seems to be doing a thriving trade. He sticks to his previ- Ous assumption of humility, but has added to a former simple equipment of a tent and a quantity of 25-cent photo graphs of himself, the appurtenance of a metropolitan entertainment, includ- ing the running of extra trolley cars to accommodate the crowds. Mir. Schra- der is to be congratulated on finding in the ''effete East field for his labor which the people in the West were un- able to appreciate or appreciated too we'll It is to be hoped, moreover, that he will stay where he is and not try to make capital ''in the provinces out of a metropolitan success.

Golden Wax Beans,

The Golden Wax beaus, from the tenderness of their pods and absence of strings, are much the most popular bean for use when green. But not many know that next to the Lima bean the Golden Wax is also best for use in fts dry state It has richer flavor, re- calling the Lima when it is cooked dry. There is. however, such a demand for wax beans for seed in spring that not many of them can be afforded for eat ing purposes. Probably if the superior ity of the wax bean was understood more would be grown and used dry The only drawback on growing the wax bean largely is the difficulty of shel- Hug it. The waXy condition of the pods keeps the beans from drying out, as most other beans will do, and un- less shelled by hand some beans will be left Tn the pod

A Farm Workshon.

No more useful building, or one that will save more money to the farmer. can be found than a workshop, in which should be kept a complete set of tools for working in wood. Such q set will not be very expensive, and having a house where they can be kept it will encourage habits of neatness, which al- ways pay in every business. We would have the tool house large enough to be used as a general receptacle for all farm implements, wagons, sleighs, drills and carts when not in use. One room should be partitioned off and have a small stove, so that it can be kept warm for working in it in winter.

Boiling Grain for Stnck.

While we believe every farmer who keeps stock in any quantity should have steam boiler and mill to grind the grain he feeds, still those who lack this can find the next best substitute by boiling the grain until swelled and feeding it in this shape. More of the grain must be fed to produce the same result as whole unboiled grain, be- cause the cooking increases bulk with out increasing Its nutrition. But the boiled grain is partly digested in the cooking process, so that it is less likely to injure when stock is fed on it large ly. It is better to boil grain, cheap as it now Is. than to draw grist eight or ten miles, as We have often done, and wait whole day for 25-busheI grist to be ground, besides paying in money the cost of grinding.

DehOruiup.

An expert will dehorn an animal very quickly either with a saw or clippers Sharp clippers with shear cut will take horns off very nicely and quickly A good operator will take off both horns in ten seconds, either with a saw oI clippers. Calves can be dehorned when one or two weeks old by touching the embryo horn with stick of lunar caus- tic or hot iron By the exercise Of proper care and applying some healing mixture afterwards the calves suffer but little
 Dehorning can be done at any time. except during hot weather when the wound is apt to be fly blown, unless pine tar is applied daily to prevent it. Young cattle are best dehorned when about a year old If dehomed when much younger the horn is more liable to grow again. They suffer but little, and only for m instant during the Op- eration. They almost invariably begin eating as soon as liberated, which they certainly would not do if the pain con- tinued. As rule they do not bleed so much as to make it necessary to apply anything to stop it. The older the ami nal the less they bleed usually. They should always be kept stabbed until the bleeding ceases. The quieter they are kept the less will be the danger.

The report of the Third Assistant Postmaster General for the year ending June 30, 1896. shows total of postal expenditures for the year amounting in round numbers to ninety million dol lars. The receipts fell a little more than eight million dollars short of meeting the expenditures. This de ficiency Is less by sixteen hundred thousand dollars than that for the pre-. ceding year. As the volume of mail matter constitutes kind of barometer of business conditions, it is interesting to notice that there was an increase of about seven per cent. in the receipts for postage over the current fiscal year. The first quarter of the current fiscal year showed falling off in receipts.

Crops that Fatten the Soil.

Some of the recent investigations in vegetable physiology are of extreme i'm portance to agriculture. I have before referred to the growing knowledge of plants that do not rob the soil. It is a fact that some growths actually enrich the soil Corn and wheat and tobacco deplete it of such constituents as are not easy to be had, but, on the other hand, leguminous plants and clovers make it more fertile. Prof. Paul Wag- ner, at one of the German research sta tions, puts plants in two classes. In the first are wheat, rye, oats, barley, pOta- toes, turnips, tobacco, vines, chicory. buckwheat, mustard, cabbage-all of which use up nitrogenous material and cannot help themselves to more from the air. On the other hand, he shows that there is a class that does not de-
 pend on the nitrogen in ths soil. but

The reign of Queen Victoria, which now has been longer than that of any other sovereign of Great Britain and its dependencies, spans by far the most in- teresting period of the same duration in the history of humanity. Its striking events include most of those which have substantially reyolutionized the business and social life of the civilized world. It should be a matter of pride to those concerned that by far the greater number of discoveries and ad- yances that have contributed toward this result have been the work of rep resentatives of the two great English speaking nations-Great Britain and the United States. While claiming cred it for showing the world the way to greatness under a republican form of government, we of the model republic may rightfully regard Victoria as the model constitutional monarch.

Make All the Land Pnr

It is one of the advantages or dis advantages. as the case may be. of renting land that the man who rents has fully impressed upon him the need of getting full returns from every acre that he pays rent for. If the farm is owned this point is not often thought of. If the farmer gets a living. and if he can still lay by few dollars in tie bank at the end of the year, he thinks he is doing all that can be expected. Quite likely this is true in times of low prices, when it is most difficult to make farming pay. But it is not the result at which a farmer should aim. His attempt should be even if not realized to get some profit from every acre and to make his best land produce as large profit as it is capable of doing. When ever farmers aim at these purposes they will be able to withstand competition unless it comes from those whose nat ural facilities for cheap production are superior to their own.

 Anthony Hopes next novel will be called simon Dale," and will be is- sued serialiy in McClure's, beginning in June, 1897. It is partly historical, the scenes being laid in the time of Nell Gwynn. The same authors ''PhrosO," which has awakened wide interest, will appear in book form in January.
 Mr. Barrie has been visiting Boston and has also made pilgrimage to the home of Miss Wilkins. Apropos of the rejection of the Macmonnies Bac- chante by the trustees of the Boston Public Library some wag has suggest ed that Boston will not lack for art, since the notary will always have plenty of Barrie-leaves.
 The Sawny Bean legend on which Crockett's ''The Gray Man" is founded comes from the oldest extant 'chap book" of which MT. Crockett has a copy dated 1880. But the most reliable source of this historical romance is '"The Historic of the Kennedys." The author declares he has stuck close to facts.
 The new edition of the works and letters of Lord Byron, edited by w. D. Henley, is now on the point of appear ance. It will consist of twelve vol umes. The letters, diaries, and speech es are to be contained in four volumes and the verse in eight. The edition de luxe, at six guineas net, is for sale in England only.

A Dreadful Father.

The young man had called on tn, father of the loved one to ask his con sent.
 Il came to see you on matter of bus 1 ineSS,' said the young man.
 What businsss?" inquired the fath i CT.
 Il love your daughter, sir," banged away the young man, though he wasn half ready.
 "Ah!'' smiled the father.
 'Yes, sir" said the young man.
 "Indeed?" continued the father.
 "Yes, sir" repeated the young man.
 "ls that so, really?" went on the father.
 "Yes, sir" still insisted the young man.
 The father remained silent so long that the young chap thought he would explode if the old one didn't say some. thing pretty soon.
 'Um-er." began the old gent, ''did l understand you to say you love my daughter"
 'Yes, sir" blurted out the young man, emphatically.
 "Ahp
 'YeS, sir"
 ''Indeed~
 "Yes, sir"
 'Is that so, reamyr-
 ''Yes, sir"
 The young man wondered how long this kind of thing would continue.
 "Uh-er,' hesitated the old gentle man, ''so you love my daughter?' "Yes-" began the young man, and stopped. ''I beg your pardon, sir, but I have told you that before"
 ''Told me what?" said the father, as sweetly as an angel might talk. Told you that l loved your daugh- ter"
 "Ahr exclaimed the old gentleman, softly.
 ''Yes, sir"
 "Indeedp"
 The young man saw what was com. ing, and got hot in the gills.
 No, sir" he said, sharply. The old gentleman looked at him in pained surprise.
 "I thought you said you did," he said. ''Did what?" asked the young man, not exactly knowing what he was say ing. Loved my daughter" T do, sir" quickly put in the youth. "Ahr' smiled the father. "Yes, sir
 'Indeed?" followed the father, as be. fore.
 It was too much for the poor young man.
 '1 beg your pardon, sir" he said, "but I think you are cruel, sir" and he back ed out and left, while the old gentleman settled back in his easy chair and snort ed a loud and emotional snort of tri- umph, short-lived though it may be- Washington Star.
