IRON KETTLE CRANE.

an iron ring, which is pivoted to the
side arms so that the kettle can be read
lily tipped and its contents poured out
into pals. These arms could be omit
ted by bringing the end support nearer
the kettle, and having the iron ring
pivoted to a crosspiece secured to these
ends This would be a more stable ar
rangement but would not give so free n
space for building the fire, although
this would not cause material trouble.
The principle involved will be found
very convenient, however the ring,
which may be made from an old wag-
on tire, is supported.-American Agri-
culturist.

Producing Beef.

When farmers produce beef from
beef breeds they save time and gain in
the weight of their animals. If n steer
can be produced in year it becomes a
rival of the hog and sheep in rapidity
of growth. At the recent Chicago fat
stock show the weight Of the prize
yearling was 1000 pounds, and its net
weight, dressed, was 743 pounds, or
6S16 per cent of dressed meat. The
two-year-olds ranged from 1872 pounds
to 1,735 pounds alive, and dressed from
GO to 60 per cent. Such steers should
pay well, and they bring better prices
per pound than is usually obtained, but
it is useless for farmers to attempt to
attain such success unless they are
willing to resort to the breeds that will
accomplish the objects desired. Using
any kind of steers for producing the
choicest beef is but a loss of time and
food.

Coffee IL said 70 have been introduced
into Europe by On. A. Rauwolf, q Ger
man physician. about the middle OF the
sixteenth century. He got 1t from Ara
bia, after 1t had passed into that coun-
try from Abyssinia. 1t is a pity, for
coffee Is one or those seductive stimu-
lants which do harm Under the disguise
OF seeming to do temporary good. 1t Is
a nerve poison on the same principle
that alcohol is, and opium. Hence the
public are to be congratulated on the
prospectof the new food drink, Grain-O,
taking It's place. The latter Is prepared
from pure grains, is nourishing. sustain
ing and healthful, and never affects the
nerves. Those who have tried Grain-O
say nothing can induce them to resume
the use of coffee. Good for children as
for adults. Cost, one-fourth that Of
coffee. Packages 15c. and 25c. Ask

A Golden Floor.

King George III. was once invited
out to dine with a wealthy and eccen-
trio old duke, who possessed more
money than he very well knew what
to do with. Upon this occasion, wish
ing to impress his majesty with the
immensely Of his riches. he had the
floor Of the dining hall paved from
end to end with sOvereigns, the head
being up. Each coin was stuck in a
mixture of lime, which soon dried,
leaving the precious tile" securely fas-
tened. When the king arrived, and
was shown what had been done in his
honor, his amazement knew no bounds,
and 1t was with difficulty he could be
persuaded to set foot upon the golden
floor.-Bristol Observer.

Cob Coal for Hoss.

One who raises from 100 to $50 pigs
should aim to save at least 200 bushels
Of corncobs for charcoal. Make a pit
Az to feet deep, IL to IS inches In
diameter at bottom, Az to feet at top.
Have a sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the pit and project six
inches over the edge. Start fire In
the bottom with shavings and add by
degrees bushel Of cobs, and let them
get well aglow. Then add three to four
bushels more, and when well on fire
sdd more, and so ON, until the pit Is
rounding full. When all the cobs are
we'll aglow, even blazing freely. cover
the hole with sheet iron and seal the
edges with earth alright and leave 1t
until the next morning, when the char
coal can be taken out, and II the job is
well done there will be from nine to
twelve bushels.-Farm, Stock and

Whole Grain for Fowls.

All kinds of poultry have very strong
digestive organs, provided they have
the gravel with which to fill the giz-
yards. and have enough exercise to
keep In vigorous health. They are pos
itively injured by having the bulk Of
their food ground, moistened or cooked
so as to make its digestion easier.
Young chicks are most apt to be in
Jured in this way, the popular idea be-
ing that as they are very small their
glzzards cannot digest hard substances.
We always began feeding young chicks
with cracked wheat, giving in addition
some milk curd pressed hard, which is
quite as difficult Of digestion as the
wheat. They will not eat much wheat
at first, and it Is best they should not.
Little and often should be the rule with
all young animals, chicks included.

Real Farm Profit.

The profit from farm may be larger
than supposed If the family is credited
with all that is received. Profit Is not
altogether that which Is sold from the
farm, for the farm itself is to a GER
tain extent n market for the products
grown thereon. Every article consum-
to the sum that would be received for it
If sold, and strict keeping of accounts,
in which the farm is credited with ev-
erything taken therefrom, may show n
fair profit. If n farmer supports his
family, and also has something left, he
is more fortunate than many.

Utilize Every Article.

Farmers may have but little faith in
the reports on feeding stock as given by
the experimental stations, nevertheless
the farmer who has some knowledge of
the results obtained by systematic
course Of feeding will be better prepar-
cd to meet difficulties than one who is
not. The fact that farmers are becom-
ing less wasteful of their fodder and
straw shows that they have at least
discovered that in order to compete In
cattle raising they must utilize every
article on the farm.

Russet Apples.

The russell or rusty coat apple, as 1t
used to be called, is an old standard va
riety, but so far as the English russell
is concerned, is valuable chiefly for
its late-keeping qualities. 1t is tough,
and deficient In flavor. But what is
known as the Golden Russell of western
New York is larger apple, much bet
ter flavor, and having lighter-colored
but still russety coat. IL is very nearly
as good keeper as the English Russet,
and as good a bearer. 1t should always
be preferred when setting out orchards
where late-keeping apples are desired.
