This is all along the line of the i'm

Nine-tenths of the pig iron in the state

banla should look into this matter and

For many years it has been the hope
OF the citizens of Birmingham to get
coal and iron to the sea by water
1t Is not an uncommon occurrence for
shipments of pig iron and coal to be
made to Mobile. by rail and thence to
foreign ports by ocean vessels. 1t is
claimed that with water route the
traffic would be much larger.
For this purpose the survey of the
Warrior canal is being made. Since the
proposed location of our armor plate
plant here the advantages of such an
improvement have been greatly in
creased.

Greoo-Egxptian Painting.

The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in The
Monthly Illustrator and the methods of
the old artists employed.
The methods of these ancient days
were totally different from those of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels Of wood were
used to paint on-sycamore and cypress
ALSO panels of papier mache, and &C.
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicknesses of canvas together.
These panels were usually about IA
inches long by inches wide. The artist
used liquid wax instead of oil to mix
the colors, which were made not from
vegetable, but from mineral substances
and were Of marvellous brilliancy and
permanence-blue powdered lapis lazu
Ii, green malachite, red oxide of iron,
etc The colors were laid on in patches,
somewhat after the fashion of mosaic.
and afterward blended with an instru-
ment called the cestrum, which appears
to have been lancet shaped spatula,
long handled, with at one end curved
point, at the other a finely dentated
edge With the toothed edge the wax
could be equalized and smoothed. while
the point was used for placing high
lights, marking lips, eyebrows, etc.
The final process. which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of painting,
was the burning in of the colors. This
was done by the application of heated
surface to the panel, though George
Ebers believes that in Egypt the heat
of the sun was probably all that was
needed to complete the artists work.

DEPENDS ON FEEDING.
How to Turn Promising Calf Into a
Profitable Cow.

How to Turn n Promising Calf Into a
Profitable Cow.
When calves are intended to be
grown for cows it is great mistake to
feed them so heavily as to increase the
tendency to fatten. Often this can be
seen at birth in the thick, bull-like
neck and heavy head. In such case it
is best to fatten and sell to the butcher,
no matter what stock may be its ances-
try. But frequently also the calf which
seems to be all right for good mixer
is fed so heavily and on such fattening
food that it's tendency for life to pro-
duce fat and beef rather than milk and
butter is fully established. To grow a
good COW the calf should not be stunted,
says American Cultivator. That will
impair digestion, which is just as i'm
portant for the COW as it is for beef
animal. Calves intended to be kept for
cow should have much succulent food,
with enough of the kind of nutrition re-
quired to make large growth. Then it
will be well developed and come early
into heat It is always advisable to
breed as early as possible. Then when
the tendency to milk production has
been fully established, good feeding
with the best food will turn the product
of the feed into the milk pail, where it
will be most for the farmers profit to
have IL

RULES FOR WHEELMEN.

Cycling Doctor Prescribes a Course
of Conduct for Riders.
Says the cycling doctor, one of the
many cycling doctors:
LET me give ten rules for bicycle
riders to follow. They are good rules
and it win do cyclists good to observe
them strictly. Here they are:
1. In purchasing bicycle take as
much care to have it fityou as you would
in obtaining gown or suit of clothes.
2. Be sure that when sitting upright
you do not have to reach to maintain
the ball of the foot on the pedal during
an entire revolution. In other words,
when the pedal has reached the most
distant point from the body be sure
there is slight bend in the leg at the
knee.
8. Adjust the handle bars at level
which, when the arms are fully ex-
tended, will keep the body in an almost
upright position. In riding long dis
tances the handle bars should be
dropped a trife. so as to increase the
leverage by a backward as well as a
forward push.
4. Before purchasing bicycle make
an arrangement with the dealer where
by you may make trials of different
saddles until you find one that is per-
fectly comfortable, for a properly-fit
ting saddle is the most necessary ele-
ment in safe and comfortable riding.
Incline to saddle that is stiff and mod
erately provided with springs, and
which is broad and short. rather than
long and narrow. The most important
object to be attained in the adjustment
of the saddle is to have the pommel high
enough to give the body slight ten
dency to slip backward, thus keeping
the weight off the perineum. as it is
most important that it should be borne
by the gluteal muscles and the tuber-
osities of the isthium.
5. The average woman should never
ride a wheel geared higher than 60
inches; the average man higher than 70
inches. Remember that the higher the
gear the greater the power required to
move given distance.
6. After having become accustomed to
DAC tASO u O OASy Gig AOfC4 p11AC a A0C 81
long that good nights sleep will not
entirely remove all traces of fatigue.
Twenty-Five to so miles day, according
to the surface of the country, should
not be exceeded by the average rider.
7. Always walk up steep hill; it will
save your heart. y
8. Never ride simply with the idea of
arriving at the earliest possible mo-
ment at given destination; ride for the
pleasure that is to be had from it.
9. While riding use the same sense in
drinking that you would in watering a
horse. Also, like horse, stick closely
to water as a beverage. Remember that
alcohol stimulates the heart and circu-
lation in much the same way exercise
does, and that if you use it in any form
while wheeling the reaction is speedy
and long-reaching.
10. Never ride on full stomach; it
will interfere with the hearts action
and respiration.
eff bicycle riders will follow those
rules" says the cycling physician, II
am sure they will all enjoy the exercise
more than If they violated them"

MICROSCOPIC LIFE.


bacteria Play an Important Part in
the Work of the Dairy.
'sThe necessity Of bacteriology in
dairy products was discussed by Prof.
Med of the Pennsylvania state
college, at the recent dairymen's meet
ing. AS it was exceedingly interest
ing, report few of the salient points.
The speaker stated that only few
years ago physicians were the only per-
sons who were thought to have any in
terest in this subject, while the fact is.
we are indebted to bacteria for very
many of the good things of life. Bac-
terra come to us as friends and not al
ways as enemies, as was supposed a few
years ago.
Every delicacy supplied to us is large
~ dependent upon bacteria We could
have neither good butter nor cheese
without them; in fact nothing of a
delicacy in the dairy can be had with
out bacteria, except condensed milk,
which he did not regard as delicacy.
These bacteria all belong to the vege-
table kingdom, are of vegetable origin,
and are of many different forms. Some
move through liquids while others re-
main quiet; $4,000 of them can lie side
by side in an inch of space. Some of
the bacteria act only on dead matter,
while another class produces the acid
of milk, and others produce the aroma
so very desirable in butter-and also the
flavor.
If dairymen were careful to have
clean stables for their COWS very many
undesirable bacteria could be kept
from the milk and less trouble would
result. 1t is not true, as some seem to
think, that the bacteria come from the
COW with the milk. If milk could be
kept from coming in contact with the
air-which is filed with bacteria while
the cow is being MIXED, it could be
kept pure for an indefinite period.
Great care should be taken to have all
milk vessels clean if the dairyman de-
sires the best possible product. Typhoid
fever bacteria develop very rapidly in
milk, and as result the malady often
spreads very rapidly. Scalding milk
kills all organisms.-George Splitter, in
Ohio Farmer.
