Milk Stations and Incubators.

One of the best known of the Cleve-
land milk buyers, who maintains
some three '.creameries' in the coun-
try, is also the proprietor of two or
three of the largest of the city restau-
rants and is turning the refuse Of cream
cries, eating houses, ETC., to good ac-
count. All the refuse and the like are
sent down into the country to one
Of the creameries adjacent to the rail
road, where most admirably situated,
he maintains poultry ranch, and thou
sands of chickens and ducks are incu
bated, fed and fattened for his city
restaurants. A duck farm is rather a
novelty in connection with collecting
milk station and creamery, but its sue
cess is a matter Of record, and the health
of the poultry attests the fact that the
food is to their taste and digestion.

A WATCH is A WONDER.

Some Things About 1t That Are Not Gem
orally Known.
Open your watch and look at the lit
tie wheels. springs and screws, each an
indispensable part of the whole won
derful machine. Notice the busy little
balance wheel as it flies to and fro un-
ceasingly, day and night, year in and
year out. This wonderful little machine
is the result of hundreds of years Of
study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average
man is composed of 50 pieces, and it's
manufacture embraces more than 2, 900
distinct and separate operations. Some
of the smallest screws are SO minute
that the unaided eyes cannot distinguish
them from steel filings or specks of dirt.
Under a powerful magnifying glass a
perfect screw is revealed. The slit in
the head is 2-100 of an inch wide. 1t
takes 308, 900 of these screws to weigh
pound and pound is worth 1885.
The hairspring is strip of the finest
steel, about 91a inches long, 1-100 inch
wide, 27-1O, 900 inch thick. 1t is coiled
up in spiral form and finely tempered.
The process of tempering these springs
was long held as a secret by the few for
tunate ones possessing it, and even now
is not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gauged to 20-100 of an inch,
but no measuring instrument has as yet
been devised capable of fine enough
gauging to determine beforehand by the
size Of the strip what the strength of
the finished spring will be. A 20-1 900
part of an inch difference in the thick
ness of the strip makes difference in
the running Of watch of about six
minutes per hour.
The value of these springs when fin
ished and placed in watches is enormous
in proportion to the material from
which they are made. A comparison
will give good idea A ton of steel
made up into hairsprings when in
watches is worth more than 1917 times
the value of the same weight in pure
gold Hairspring wire weighs lao of a
grain to the inch. One mile of wire
weighs less than half pound.
The balance gives five vibrations every
second, 500 every minute, IS, 900 every
hour. 432, 900 every day and 1877, $780,
900 every year. At each vibration it
rotates about II times, which makes
1877, 100, 900 revolutions every year.
| Take, for illustration, locomotive with
6 foot driving wheels. Let it's wheels
be run until they have given the same
number of revolutions that a watch
does in one year, and they will have
covered distance equal to % complete
circuits of the earth.
All this a watch does without other
attention than winding once every "a
hours. Jewellers Review.

AGARM .F0gAD
80 aAA GARDEN
FEEDING NEW CORN.


Being Difficult to Digest, Much Is Wasted.
Grinding the Corn.
Much of the corn crop this year will
be soft It will be what farmers call
new corn until freezing dries out its
surplus moisture. Yet the hogs have to
be fattened for slaughtering in Deem
Der or January, and there will have to
be a good deal of it fed out without dry
ing to cows and other stock. American
Cultivator has the following to say on
the subject of feeding new corn:
Probably the COW can get more good
out of soft corn than any other farm an
imal She will bring it up and remasti-
cate it, insuring partial digestion if she
has not had an overlooking Of corn, for
it must be remembered that all corn is
hard to digest, and when it is full of
moisture it is more so than ever.
Grind the corn, even if into coarse
bits, and it is made much more easy to
digest. When fattening hogs are fed
fine corn meal, some Of it will go
through them undigested, but when
new corn is fed to stock the part that
fails to digest is much greater. 1t is
very hard to grind new corn. The mois-
ture in it makes the grain stick to the
grinding apparatus But if some well
dried oats, corn or barley are mixed
with the corn not yet dried out it will
grind much better. When it is desired
to grind corn on the cob, the trouble is
that the cob breaks into large pieces, in
stead of being ground as it should. But
if whole grain of any kind is mixed
with the ears so as to fill the vacant
spaces the cob will grind perfectly. For
feeding COWS and other horned cattle
there is an advantage in grinding corn
in the ear. The ground cob makes the
nutriment less concentrated and it di-
gests better.
As new soft corn is usually fed to
hogs, a great part of its nutrition is
wasted. It is SO much harder to digest
than the same corn after it has dried,
that it is much better to feed sound corn
if it can be had and reserve the soft
corn until it dries out by freezing. There
is great shrinkage during this drying
out process, but there is more fattening
quality in the smaller quantity than
there is in the larger.
Corn is almost universally fed while
it is full of the juices of the stalk and
cob If the feeding Of the crop were
spread out during the whole winter, in
stead of being confined to fall and one
of the winter months, the gain from
feeding it would be far greater than it
is. Much of the larger part of this sea-
sons corn crop will be fed to hogs, cat
tie and sheep between now and next
January or February at furthest. 1t is
done to hurry up the fattening, but ow
ing to the indigestibility of new corn
much of it is wasted. The pork and
beef thus made are neither SO palatable
nor SO healthy as the same would be if
hogs and cattle were fed from their ear
lest period sufficient to keep them in
thrifty and growing condition. 1t is the
common practice of wasting new corn
during the fall and winter months that
makes this impossible. A small amount
of grain given while animals are at
grass in summer will produce far more
flesh and of a better quality than a
much larger quantity fed as wastefully
as new corn usually is.
