A self feed is understood to mean any
appliance so arranged that the animals
can secure their grain food at any time.
This usually consists of a barrel with
small openings at the bottom or a box
resting on a platform. The barrel or box
10 kept full of grain and the animals eat
from below, so that from the beginning
of the i%attenIng to the close they have
access to grain continuously. This
method Of feeding is practiced especially
where large numbers are fed. Many
believe that more profitable gains may be
secured by feeding regularly once or
twice each day n feeding only 30 much
grain as will be eaten up clean by the
animals. Extensive experiments on this
subject seem to Indicate clearly that
larger and more economical gains may be
secured by feeding regularly in the ordi-
nary manner rather than placing the
grain before the animals constantly as is
done with a self feed. A test extending
through three years, at the Michigan sta
ton, shows conclusiyely that fattening by
means OF "a self feed Is not as profitable as
regular feeding. The lots fed in the ordi-
nary manner were supplied with grain
twice each day, morning and evening, and
made an average gain Of 2.2S pounds per
head each week and required only sey
pounds Of dry matter for each pound ui
gain. The lots fattened on a self feed
made an average gain OF only 1.S9 pounds
per head each week and required 9.67
pounds of dry matter to produce a pound
OF gain. 1t follows then that the use OF a
self feed produces a smaller total gain and
this is secured by a much larger con-
sumption Of food.

our most careful thought. As a means to
this end early spring blowing is OF the
greatest Importance. Even a difference
OF a few days may mean a loss OF many
tons OF water. Flowing at any time pre-
vents the loss OF soil water by evapora-
tion from the surface, but IL the blowing
is lone early in the spring when the land
is full OF water, there will be a greater
saving, as this water will go deeper into
the soil and be held in reserve for the use
of crops during the dry summer months.
King found that blowing land April %
and seven days later, or May 6,resulted In
a saving OF 1893 tons of water to the acre in
the soil plowed April 20. This amount OF
water is equivalent to a rainfall OF LIS
inches. We must conclude, then that land
intended for spring crops should be
Plowed at the earliest possible date that
the condition OF moisture will allow.

The Queens FavOrite Jewel.

Or late years Queen Victoria has
had Indian servants in native dress as
personal attendants; she is also an as
siduous student of Hindustani, being
able to speak and write in that Ian
guage, and her favorite State jewel is
the priceless Koh-i.Noor, about which
hangs u tale. When it came in pos
session of the East India Company, in
1850, it was handed at Board meet
ing to John Lawrence (afterward Lord
Lawrence), Viceroy, for safe.keep-
ing. The precious diamond was laid
among TO Ids of linen in q small box,
aud Lord Lawrence slipped it into his
waistcoat pocket aud forgot all about
it until some days later it was sug-
gested that he should forward it to
the Queen. One can imagine his con-
sternation when he rushed to his
house to see IL it was to be found.
Have you seen q small box in one OF
my waistcoat pockets?' he asked
breathlessly of his servant. "Yes,
sahib, WAS the reply. II found it
and put it in one OF your boxes.
Bring it here aud open it and see
what it contains" said his master.
There is nothing in it, sahib, but n
bit of glass;" the nan replied in won.
derment. The "bit of glass" was in
due course dispatched to the Queen,
whose crown il was to ndorn, but she
has preferred to wear it on occasions
as a magnificent brooch in the centre
of her bodice. The cutting of the
diamond was personally y superintended
by the Prince Consort. 1t is always

Iceberg Phenomena.

The occurrence of ice in the COM
paratively low ATTITUDES of Cape Horn
and the Falkland Islands is easily ex-
planned, says the Pail Mail Gazette.
The ice has originally formed part of
the great barrier which, with very few
breaks, surrounds the vast Antarctic
continent, rising to an average height
of from $50 feet to 200 feet above,
and sinking from l, 100 feet to 1, 400
feet below the level of the sea, and
having, moreover,a q thickness of some
thing like 1900 feet or 1900 feet.
1t is solid perpendicular wall of ice,
formed by the descent over the low
lands into the sea of the ice and snow
which form on the mountains inland,
and when the forefronts are pushed
into depths ofabout 800 or 400 fathoms
large stretches are broken off and
float away northward with the current.
When they start on their aimless
careers they may be miles in extent,
and though, rs rule, they break up
by collision and erosion, it ia not at all
unusual to encounter an island miles
long in the neighborhood of the ex-
treme ice limit. For instance, the
Coldiughame in this region passed
about 500 bergs, one of which was ten
miles long. The Guilty Sark. again.
in latitude so south, longitude AZ west,
is found by cross bearings and distance
run that the east side of one berg
which she encountered was nineteen
miles long. At first the masses are
straight, hat-topped and horizontally
stratiied-altogether unlike those
met with in the north. BY the action
OF the waves they are cut at the wat ter's
edge into coves caverns of a heavenly
blue color. Then. as they collide or
get melted away at the base by the ac-
ton Of the water, they turn over and
show to the wondering mariner those
fantastic shapes which simply beggar
all description. Naturally, as they
travel further north, they become
smaller and still more strangely
shaped and intimately melt away.

Chinese Treatment Of Children.

However little liked the Chinaman

at least one good and praiseworthy
q iality-the kindness shown by all of
item tnwards their children. The
po ,rest parents always seem able to

little ones in gay garments on New
Years day or other holidays. The
children in turn seem to be remark
ably well.behaved and respectful
toward, their elders. and rarely IL
ever, receive corporal punishment.
They seem very happy,and apparently
enjoy their childhood more than most
American children. On almost any
sunny day the fond and proud father
may be seen at every turn in China
town carrying his brightly attired
youngster in his arms. Other little
tots hardly old enough to feel quite
steady on their legs, toddle about with
infants strapped on their backs. They
do not appear to mind this. and it
does not seem to interfere with their
childish pastimes. About the time OF
the Chinese New Year Chinese chill.
dren are particularly favored, and the
fond fathers deny them nothing. The

Last summer I took run along the

of the sailors called my attention to a

and all gathered around to see what it

cry of your hiding-place, and, q

yacht put about, and we ran into
Halifax. have come to you as fast
as steam would carry me, to ask your
forgiveness, and assure you that L

What answer she made him can but
be imagined. Anyway when Papa
Gale returned to dinner he heard the
whole story, and declared in his hearty
way that he'd give away the bride.
Accordingly as soon as suitable
trousseau could be prepared, the two
so strangely reunited we're made one.
The Misses Gale ofliciated us brides
maids, and Bob Darlington and his
cousin were the groom's best men.
Papa Gale, true to his word, gave
the bride away, and the great pyramid
of flowers which occupied the centre of
the banquet table was crowned by the
identical bottle that was responsible
for the happy event.

Change Wrought by Modern Chemistry

Modern chemistry has wrought
great changes in agate coloring, as in
other arts, a secret having been dis
covered by which chalcedony of any
single color can be made to assume
any two or more colors. so that an
onyx OF any shape or variety Of colors
can be made. If a sunken center of
another color is required it can be
made so that the figure when cut out
remains in hollow, forming a cameo
intaglio. In this manner the fine cut
ting of the cameo is protected. A
white figure may be made in a black
stone, a red figure in brown stone,
or white one in red stone. BY this
process the entire stone is first changed
to the color desired for the outer
layer, then cavity is cut in the top
and solution put into it, which alters
it to the required color. 1t is this
discovery that has made formerly
valuable onyx worth now only a nom
inal sum.
Agates are thus made to assume the
onyx character, which is desired by
the lapidary for the production of
canoes and intaglios in imitation of
the antique sculptured gems. In
canoes the figures are in relief and of
different color from the ground. In
taglios are usually all of one color. In
Persia inscriptions or devices are
written on beads of carneliun and
other forms of agate with carbonate
of soda, and other chemicals; they are
then burnt and the inscription ap-
pears white in contrast to the other
color.
The principal supply of agates for
the last hundred years has come from
Brazil, and other South American
countries, where it is mostly found by
Germans who leave Oldenburg for
that purpose, and who persevere until
they find it. Thence it is sent to Ger
many for cutting, chiefly to Oberstein
aud Idar. Every fortnight from five
to ten tons of the rough material is
sold in Idar at public auction, usually
in assorted lots of 100 or 200 pounds.
The industry yields to the district an
annual net profit of $500, 900; and

One OF these republics Orange
Free State-is very nearly as large as

of New York. 1t lies from 1000 to
5000 feet above the sea, and is mostly
level, with some low ranges of hills.
The surface is bare of wood. except in
few sheltered spots along the streams,
but is we'll covered with herbage. The
air is pure and bracing, much like that
OF Colorado or Wyoming. There are,
happily, no blizzards; but violent
thunder-storms are not uncommon,
and the hailstones-I have seen them
bigger than pigeons eggs-which
fall during such storms sometimes
