The posts and arms may be of hard

should be planned, at least on the sides
which the sheep touch. Managers may
be made of any desired length.
We made them just long
enough to fit between the posts
in the stable. Unless very short,
there should be three sets of posts to
the rack, as shown in Fig. 2. Cut
notches in the bottom boards to let the
posts in. This is necessary to give the
proper position to the arms.

When made double we walk in the
anger to distribute the grain. We, of
course, always see that our feet are
clean. The first rack we made on this
plan was not very satisfactory, because.
us we learned afterward, we did not
have the proper dimensions. The tops
of the posts over which the adjus table
side revolves need to be rounded. Some
care will have to be used in putting it

USEFUL AFTER DEATH.

Part Played by the Carcass Of Horse In
the Commercial World. =:
The leg bones are very hard and
white and are used for handles of pocket
and table cutlery.
The tail and name are especially val
liable and from these are made the hair
cloth of commerce.
The ribs and head are burned to make
bone black, after they have been treat
ed for the glue that is in them.
The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with
carbon, produces phosphorus for luci-
fer matches.
The short hair taken from the hide
is used to stuff cushions and horse COL
lars; thus the dead are made to minister
to the comfort of the living.
The hide furnishes waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordovan,
and is used for the manufacture of
high-class hunting and wading boots.
There is an animal oil yielded in the
cooking process which is deadly pois-
Oh, and enters into the composition Of
many insecticides and vermifuges.
In the calcining of horses bones the
vapors arising are condensed and form
the chief source of carbonate of am
monia, which constitutes the base of
nearly all ammoniacal salts.
The hoofs of the animal are removed
and after being boiled to extract tue
oil from them the horny substance is
shipped to the manufacturers Of combs
and what are known as Mikado goods.
The bones to make glue are dissolved
in muriatic acid, which takes the phos-
phate of lime away, the soft element
retaining the shape of the bone is dis
solved in boiling water, cast into
squares and dried on nets

SAVE THE BEESWAX.

Quite q Pretty Penny Can BE Earned by
3 Little Timely Care.
If care is taken to look out for all
scraps of wax, cappings and pieces of
combs that for any reason are rejected
it will make pretty piece of wax in the
course of the year. If a solar wax ex-
tractor is used of course it can only be
used when the sun is shining and the
weather warm, making it impossible to
render any wax except in not weather.
But there may be more leisure for it
now, and on one account cold weather
is desirable. In melting up old black
combs the cocoons in them absorb q
large amount of wax which is lost. To
prevent such absorption soak the combs
thoroughly in water, so that the cocoons
already filled with water can take up Nd
wax. But you'll find hard matter to
soak the COMBS full of water unless they
are broken up fine, and if the combs ara
not made brittle with cold it will ba
impossible to break them up. So it will
be seen that cold weather is to an ex.
tent needed if you want to melt up old
combs. After the combs are broken up
fine they may be- saved till hot weather
by the solar extractor, or they may be
melted up at once, of course after
soaking.
One good way to melt combs in win
ter is easily accomplished with only the
ordinary appliances to hand in every
household. Take an old dripping pan
of course an entirely new one will do as
Well-split open one corner clear to the
bottom, and you have one of the best
wax extractors. Lay in the material
from which the wax is to be extracted
and put the pan in the oven of the cook
stove with the door left open, and the
split corner of the pan projecting out.
Put something under the inside of the
pan, so as to raise it up, then as the wax
melts it will run out of the split corner
Of the pan. To catch the dropping wax
set any vessel convenient, and it may be
well to have in this vessel a little water.
Sc the wax will not stick to the bottom.

meridian marks the eastern boundary Of

outer shore of the island. which form u
