DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

In spite of hard times and low prices
of butter, there is nothing that is keep
ing so near good-time prices as good
cows. kkfB
Men do not enter the race With
Clydesdales. Why should they expect
great results in milk or butter from

Common grade cows can by proper
care and feeding be made to exceed in
profitable results many thoroughbreds,
and it is easy to so treat an extra herd
of thoroughbreds as to bring their
product below the average grade

STEEL TRACK ROADS.
GOOD Thing for Districts Where
Gravel Is Not Found.

Good Thing for Districts Where
Gravel Is Not Found.
For many years have thought that
wagon roads might be successfully
laid with steel plates about eight
inches wide on which the wheels would
run with very little draft. I never
made an estimate of cost, because of
the high price of steel products, until
now that steel rails are sold so low
that it seems as though the cost might
be within reach of the taxpayers. The
Illinois Steel company writes that steel
plates three-eighths of an inch thick
weigh about 16 pounds per square foot
Allowing for fiange, or lip, the weight
should be about 20 pounds per square
foot. This would make about 20 tons
per mile. In urge quantities this
ought to be bought at $50 per ton, or
about the price of steel rails, or about
81, 400 per mile.
With good oak planks 3xs inches
at $50 per 1000, about $1,000 feet per
mile, would cost $500, so that the plates
and planks to support them would cost
not far from $500 per mile. This is
for large quantities. The cross-ties
might be of steel rods or plates to keep
the planks from spreading and paced
low enough to be covered with gravel or
broken stone between the plank for
horses to travel on. Gen. Roy Stone,
of New York, director of the United
States department of good roads, is
now investigating the practical utility
OF such road improvement, and thinks
1t feasible. Where gravel is scarce, it
seems that such track might be much
cheaper.-O. Dinwiddie, in Prairie

Not for many years has the need of
better country roads been felt so much
as has been the case during the past
winter, except in the more northern
regions, where the temperature re-
manned low enough to prevent the
melting of the SHOWS. South of AZ de-
grees latitude the rains have been so
frequent that the soil is full of water,
and the freezing and thawing of the
ground SO constantly alternating that
thorough breaking up of the soil has
been the result. Consequently the
public roads could not be much worse
than at present. Owing to modern
methods of drainage by the use of
open bitches and tile, the roads will
soon settle when the rains cease and

Those marvellous treasures, the gold
and silver pantries, which lie close to-
gether in the northeast corner Of Wind.
sor castle, at the foot of the Prince of
Wales tower, were until recent years
very frequently visited by the queen,
who, with her housewifely love Of de-
tail, never considered it beneath her
dignity to make intimate acquaintance
with the vast quantity of articles in the
precious metals, which have either been
personal gifts to herself or form a he
redltary appanage to her state. Even
lately her majesty has visited her PAN
tries in her wheel chair, and the present
arrangement of the multitude of objects
therein has been made entirely with her
personal approval. Apart from the in
terest which necessarily attaches to ar
ticles which are in daily and intimate
use by the queen, the plate at Windsor
castle is acknowledged the finest collec-
ton in the world and is more than
worthy of consideration.
The two SO called pantries-which in
reality are strong rooms of the most ap-
proved and well arranged kind-are
separated from one another by the plate
cleaning rooms, which are furnished
with all kinds Of known appliances for

of every kind of rare and delicate gold
smith work All the royal plate is car
ried to these rooms in rotation and
cleaned, whether in use or not, and the
system employed for giving it out and
receiving it back forms ample and re-
sponsible work for the yeomen of the
pantries and their assistants, many of
whom are veritable giants among men,
as the weights that have to be moved
are very often enormous. - Collier's

The primary cause Of the low baro-
metric pressure which marks the storm
center and establishes the cyclone is ex.
pansion of the air through excess Of
temperature. The heated air, rising in
to cold upper regions, has portion of
its vapor condensed into clouds, and
now new dynamic factor is added, for
each particle of vapor, in condensing,
gives up its modicum of latent heat.
Each pound of vapor thus liberates, &C.
cording to Professor Tyndalls estimate,
enough heat to melt five pounds of cast
iron, SO the amount given out where
large masses of cloud are forming must
enormously add to the convection cur
rents of the air, and hence to the storm
developing power of the forming oy-
clone. 1t is doubted whether storm
could attain, much less continue, the
terrific force of that most dreaded of
winds of temperate zones, the tornado,
without the aid of those great masses of
condensing vapor which always accom-
pany it in the form of stormclouds.

A contributor to The National Stock
man says:
l have helped to pillow hundreds of
acres of potatoes with an old fashioned
single shovel pillow, and there is no
modern farm implement that does as
satisfactory work in clayey loans or
clays that have been packed by beating
rains after being planted. This old i'm
plement has been practically discarded
by growers here for many years, but
some have returned to its use this sea-
son, and the slow work with it will
pay, if any work in growing potatoes
pays this year. When the plants showed
above ground, the practice formerly
was to run close to the row with long
and very narrow shovel, the pillow stock
being held at such an angle that the
point Of the shovel actually went under
the hills.
The soil in the rows is solid in many
fields this year, packed by incessant
rain, and 10 modern cultivator can be
SO set that the earth in the rows may
be loosened SO well as it is done with
the single shovel, taking one side of the
row at time If the shovels of a two
horse cultivator were set at the angle
we used to hold the single shovel, they
would lift the plants out. Two acres a
day was called a days work, aud this
seems slow, but the plant started life
above ground with loose soil in the hill,
no matter how packed rains had made
it after planting, and loose soil in the
hill is a necessity in successful potato
growing.

Winter Grain ssadinr.

August is the month when the farmer
in all the winter wheat sections of the
country is busy in preparing the seed
bed for winter grain. Rye is less in
jured by lack of preparation of the seed
bed than is wheat. The chief object for
both grains is to make shallow seed
bed able to hold as much moisture as is
needed to terminate the seed grain, but
at the same time have a firm and dry
bottom for the seed bed, which the grain
roots shall not be able to penetrate
Early blowing and abundant use of the
roller will secure these conditions If
possible slightly harrow the surface soil
aid then roll it down after each rain
This may seem to the inexperienced to
make the surface too hard for a good
seed bed, but so that the wheat will
terminate and catch hold with it's roots
of the surface soil the seed bed cannot
be too hard. -Ameriean Cultivator

And then she heard the laughter and
shouts of little Sidney, who had Just
caught sight of his father and was now
running wildly to welcome him. 1t was
fortunate interruption to a scene that
was nearing painful climax, and she
was very glad to take step or two to-
ward the laughing boy, who was al
ready flying across the bridge, followed
by his nurse; then there was crash, a
shrek. The side of the bridge was gap
ing outward. The maid stood wringing
her hands The golden curls, that had
foated moment above the rushing
water, were gone.
1t was so sudden, SO inexplicable,
that the frantic mother could not real
ize at first what had happened When
she did, the air resounded with her ag-
onized cries, and it was the nursegirl
who was the first to see that Selden had
already reached his child just in time.
Courage, ma am, couragep' the girl
whispered, while she supported her
mistress. "See-he is safei His father
has him. Look, lookl The darling has
LIS tAAlo dUOuO b1I6 uudSb6I u6Ck, anu
he's hugging and kissing of him just as
if nothing had happened at all''
The girl assisted her mistress back to
the little rustic seat, and when the
father and child had reached the young
mother little Sidney was already laugh
ing with delight, and as he put one
dripping arm about her neck he drew
her close till her face touched her hus-
bands face
"Kate.' whispered Selden, "Kate,
may beg forgiveness now?"
"Oh, Sidney, have been so proud
and heartlessl I was jealous and vain
and-and-so selfish and unfairl
wouldn't listen to you, and all the time
l knew you never cared for that woman
Can you forgive me too?''
'Just give me chance; that's all {"
And then two pairs of arms met and
clasped each other close about the con-
quering hero, who seemed to find him
self quite suddenly an object of second
airy Importance.
1t then occurred to Annette that Mas
ter Sidney would have dreadful cold
unless his dripping garments were
changed Immediately, SO she carried
him off in pursuit of dry clothing. -

Sense Of rouch venting.

One has heard of heartless women and
women without feeling, but that hu.
man being can exist without any sense
of touch seems marvellous, yet this is
claimed for Mrs Evattina Tardo, q
young widow in the West Indies. Ply
sicians who have known her case pro-
nounce it physiological freak. She is
said to be wholly without feeling, has
swallowed poison, been shot, bitten by
rattlesnakes, received a puncture in her
heart from DOCTORS lance and had her
neck dislocated, all without experience
ing any pain. Besides these experiments
she can without injury drink benzine
and light the gas at hollow needle
which pierces her cheek. This strange
assertion is backed by the word Of ply
sicians of repute. AS a child she was
bitten by cobra, and it is claimed that
her sensory nerves were paralyzed and
her system innoculated with poison.
