some Curious Watches.

With all our modern improvements
We rarely hear nowadays of watches
so fancifully complex as used TO be
made for great folks In the times when
all watches We're expensive and com
paratiyely novel.
King George ILL.,, In the year 1760,
received present OF watch that was
kind of mechanical almanac; II point
ed out the date and also had a device
to show the varying length Of the days
according TO the season. 1t was moi
bigger than other watches of the time
but then they were all what we should
call turnips now
The Emperor Napoleon |. had a
watch which wound itself by means oil
ii weighted lever. which, at every steI
his majesty took, rose and fell, and
having gathering click TO II wound NJ
a ratchet attached TO the barrel. Pc
dometers were afterwards made on the
same principle. The Duke of yelling
ion had a watch which was given tC
him by the king Of Spain, from which
the time could be told by the touch, the
hours being marked by studs. In ths
back of the case was placed an Index
which. when moved forward, woult
stop at the portion of the hour indi
Gated by the watch, and then by means
Of the studs the time could be approx
mately computed In the dark.
Catherine OF Russia had watch con
structed by an Ingenious peasant which
played chant, and had within IL tiny
mechanical figures which, moving
about, were supposed to represent thu
scene Of the resurrection of the Savior
the chant was then heard all over Rus
sia at Eastertlme. But this watch wa
no bigger than hens egg.

ach. Not even the animals with strong
est digestion are able 10 digest whole
corn meal. especially given uncoOked,
as IL usually Is. Cooking swells the
meal and II cooked dry IL is filled with
air spaces, which keep the meal from
masslng together In the stomach. When
corn is ground on the cob, the cob being
lighter, also prevents the massing.
There is also some nutriment in the cob
and its superior accessibility makes 1t
better for feeding TO animals that chew
the eud and are thus enabled 10 eat
more and less digestible food Thus
corn and cob meal mixed with cut feed
is better for fattening cattle than Is
whole corn meal. But horses cannot
get enough nutriment in their feed II
the cob is used. Corn and oats ground
together are better Hogs. also, should
have corn and oats. Sheep are rumi-
nant animals. but they have such
strong digestion that they do better
with grain not ground. adding some
wheat bran or whole oats to make the

MinterinR Horses.

Farmers within fifteen TO twenty
miles of the city win find 1t a profitable
business to winter city horses The
usual charge is So per month for horses
haltered up, and 81 per month when
kept In box-stalls. Those having plen-
ty of straw, fodder and hay will find
this method of disposing of 1t much
more profitable than hauling 1t to the
city. A large quantity of manure Is
made, and this should be hauled and
spread as fast as made. over the tim
otby meadows. The manure. II proper
ly handled. will pay for the feed and
care of the horses. and the money re-
ceived for their board will be clear
gain. The Lancaster County farmers,
who fatten beef cattle for market, say
they are satisfied II they can get mar
ket price for the corn and hay fed to
the cattle, and the manure pays for the
labor. WIntering horses Is much bet
ter than feeding cattle, as there Is no
money outlay. 1t requires cash cap
ital OF $500 to 5000 to purchase and
feed twenty to twenty five head of cat
tie, as they must be heavily grain-fed
from the time they are put up to fat
ten, until sent TO market. In selecting
horses for wintering. care must be
taken to get only healthy ones. The
boarding horses should not be put into
the same stable with the farm horses

Tic Story of a Smn-DiaI.

An interesting story Is told by the
Philadelphia Times of an old sun dial
In Pennsylvania. In the first part OF
the last century an Irish emlgrant
named Porter settled near Phlladel-
phla. Among his SONS was one named
Andrew, whom he tried to make into a
farmer and then, like his brothers. into
a carpenter. But Andrew would have
nothing TO do with the plough or the
plane. He hid in corners porting over
some mathematical books that had
come into his possession.
One day he found the design Of "A sun
dial in one of them, and resolved to
make one. He walked eight miles To
goapstone quarry, found slab, and
carried 1t home on his back. Full Of
zeal he went TO his brothers shop. and
used their saws and chisels IN his work.
When they came home In the evening
the dial was finished, Andrew was trl-
umphant. but every tool In the shop
was nearly or quite ruined. They drove
him into the street In a fury of anger

The best use of windbreaks IL TO plant
them around dwellings and other farm
buildings. There can be no doubt that
they are great alleyiators OF the cold
winds, whose force is broken and
whose cold Is moderated by contact
with living trees. Some warmth comes
from the tree even IN the coolest wealth
er. as is evident from the thawing away
of snow around tree trunks. But there
are places where the windbreak may
cause an increase Of cold even while
breaking the force of the wind. When
there is only slight breeze blowing, II
often comes from warmer atmos-
phere. and may thus when unchecked
prevent severe freezing. When the sky
is unclouded the cold of the upper at
mosphere settles in valleys and behind
windbreaks, while II Is moderated on
hills or other places where the wind
has free course.

the great flesh-forming or muscle and

pigs are stunted In these regards at
that time they cannot be developed into
