son and then up to that of her husband.

Good Cement

An excellent cement for mending al
most anything may be made by mixing
together litharge and glycerine to the
consistency Of thick cream or fresh put
ty. The cement is useful in mending
stone Jars or any coarse earthenware,
stopping leaks in seams of tin pans or
wash boilers, cracks and holes in iron
kettles, etc. It may also be used to
fasten on lamp tops, or tighten loose
nuts, to secure loose bolts whose nuts
are lost, to tighten loose joints Of wood
OF iron, Or in many other ways about
the various kitchen utensils, the range,
sink and in the pantry fittings. In all
cases the article mended should not be
used until the cement has hardened,
which will require from one day to a
week, according to the quantity of ce-
ment used. This cement will resist the
action Of water, hot or cold, acids, and
almost any degree Of heat.

Partitions In StlOos
Where several silos n desired, or
where two kinds of silage are to be
stored SO as to be fed at any time, n
large silo with N or more partitions
will be cheaper than separate silos. In
the Illustration shown herewith will be
seen how a partition may be put in q
round silo. By running a second par
tition at right angles to the first the
silo may be divided into four pits, but 1t
Is always best to avoid partitions when
possible to do SO. If a partition is made
1t should be air-tight, but If the filling
takes place on both sides at the same
time, 1t need not be as strong. In the
round silo the partition should be put
in after the lining. To make the par
tition, two thicknesses of inch boards
with paper between may be used. These
should be nailed to studding made out
Of 6x6's sawed in two %diagonally, using
two pieces ut each end of the partition,
placed SO that the sawed face fills the
r formed by the partition. With
the intermediate studs the boards
should be nailed to the sawed or wide
side, SO as to avoid forming square cor
ners. If a rectangular silo is built.
then two layers Of matched fencing
with tar paper between should be used
for the lining. To lessen the spelling
Of silage at the corners, these should be
cut off with one layer of inch boards
about 10 inches long. This should then
be lined with roofing tin soldered to-
gether into a strip long enough to reach
from near the top to the bottom, and
wide enough to nail to the lining and to
completely cover the two ends Of the
short boards by as much as two inches

IN DEATH vALLe>.
Tanning There IL an Occupation of
Dreadful Fatality to Horses.

OxS0u1u1 E0tol1ty TO d0r0e0s
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields
Of Death valley in the great American
desert. There the longest team in the
world are employed. Scientists de-
clare that the fierce heat in this mar
row rent in the cracked surface Of the
earth is not equaled elsewhere in the
world. When the thermometer often
registers 40 degrees of heat, unre-
lieved by even a breath of air; where
men sleep at night in shallow bitches
filled with water in order to avoid dy-
ing from collapse, the necessity for
the longest teams of mules ami horses
ever harnessed to draw the great boray
laden wagons is apparent.
The percentage of deaths among h
horses used in teaming is greater than
that of domestic animals used in any
other calling. Forty to sixty horses
are often hitched to one of the lum-
bering vehicles in which the borax is
slowly dragged across the sun-baked
alkali plains. The average life Of even
the sturdiest horses used in this work
is six months, for in this length of
time they either become broken-wind-
ed. consumptive from inhalins the
deadly dust of the desert, or are driven
crazy by the frightful heat.
A man there, though protected by
the wagon awnings from the suns
rays, cannot go an hour without water
without danger of death. When a
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted the men ride Mt
supply, and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses,
made mad by thirst, have broken from
their harness and dashed off only to
find death in the desert.
The borax wagons weigh 5000
pounds AID carry 10000 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon is a tank
containing hundreds of gallons Of wa
ter. The horses are harnessed in pairs,
the trained ones in the lead, and the
next in intelligence just ahead Of the
tongue, while the unruly and the
youngsters are hitched between. The
nigh leader has q bride with the strap
from the left jaw shorter than the
other, and from this bride ms a
braided rope which the driver, perched
on the wagon seat, holds in his right
hand.
The rope is called the "jerk line."
and Is a little longer than the team,
which stretches out several hundred
feet in front Of the wagon. During
the busy seaso the borax wagons
make an almost continuous train, and
the horses alone If placed in single
file would make a team more than a
hundred miles long:
Besides O little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After a few months Of this kill.
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service. A kindly rifle ball
then ends their agony, and their ema-
ciated %carcasses r left alongside the
trail to furnish scant picking for the
lowering vulture.

Selection Of seed corn and its care
afterwards are of much more import
nee than many realize, until bitter dis
appointment faces them with perhaps
one-third of a stand, and then it is too
late to recover for the year And still
farmers go right on and do the same
thing another year. A careful and
painstaking farmer who makes a sue
cess of all his farm operations says up
on the subject:
while I always go into the field and
select early at least a part of the seed,
I do not plant such selection unless l
have failed at husking time to gather
such as I desire. l can select just the
size and shape that seems best to my
mind at that time and l cure 1t in the
chamber over my kitchen stove and
leave 1t there until wanted in the eur.
l would not shell any I did not use for
the year, and during my entire life I
have v so saved corn that SO per
cent. would not grow, and seldom ever
fails even at three years old. While
the early ripening will always grow
and will make very early corn, after a
number of years of such saving 1 am
satisfied that variety grows small by so
doing. l prefer to SOW the largest and
best of it's kind. At husking time,
either from stalk or shock one can make
the selection. Leave enough husk on
the ear and throw to one side Of the
wagon and in this way the corn can be
selected with little Or no hindrance, I'M
less there has been a very hard freez-
ing with corn damp there is very little
danger Of its not growing IL properly
cared for after picking"

W1LL COUNT rHe NOSES.

In 1000.


in 1000.
A great undertaking has been plan
ned to mark the closing Of the nine.
teenth century, being no more nor less
than . count of all the people in the
world At the same time, in order that
the present century may turn yer to
its successor an account Of stock, as 1t
were. The magnitude Of the task may
be seen from the fact that six years
have already elapsed since the taking
Of the last census of the United States
and the last reports have not yet been
published. At this rate, how long will
1t take to give to the world the results
Of a census Of the whole world?
The scheme got its real inception at
the biennial meeting Of the Interna-
tional Statistical Institute, recently
held at Berne, Switzerland. At the in
stance of DIR. Guillaume, director of the
statistical Office of the Federal Govern
ment, a committee of distinguished sta
~tsticians, scientists, travellers and geog-
raphers was appointed to begin the
work by collecting all the information
possible as to the best methods of TAX
ing this worlds census, and to report
to the institute at its meeting next year.
The population of the earth is now es-
timated at Z 100000 These figures
were given by Profs. Benin and Wag-
ner, Of the University of Gottingen,
who have from year to year published
their calculations in a journal called
Die Bevolkerung der Erde. Their esti-
mates are based upon the best informa-
ton. Yet Benin and Wagner frankly
acknowledge that they have had to fill
up many of their columns with nothing
better than guesses-guesses founded
upon the observations of travellers, and
upon other guesses mentioned in treat.
les given by such countries us China,
Persia, Arabia, Turkey.
In the most populous country Of the
world, China, they state that their fig
ures may be 2OO,OOO,OOO more or less
than the actual number of people. In
Africa they may be some 100000
astray, and in Asiatic Turkey. Persia,
Siam and Afghanistan the figures are
probably equally uncertain. China,
they r now assured, will take an off,
cial census and the governments Of
Turkey, Persia, Siam and Afghanistan
will also be asked to give their assist
ance to the agents of the institute, with
a view to making some lstricted enum-
Grafton Of their peoples. The accom-
' plishment of this will require a large
amount of diplomacy, as well as Of
money, and the widest possible knowl-
edge Of these half barbarous localities.
The most important feature of this
worlds census will be the synchronous
counting of the civilized people Of the
earth. The plan is to have all the
States of Europe and America, and all
the colonies and dependencies of civ
ilized governments, and such States rs
Japan, make a comprehensive and uni
form enumeration Of their population,
their Industries, homes, families, re-
ligions and a hundred other minor fea-
lures, and to make a uniform table en-
bracing every point needed to be COM
piled in the different languages, and
submitted to the various governments.
