Primarily, for tho convenience of the
railroads, standard of time was estab-
hshed by mutual agreement in 1888, by
which trains are run and local time reg
ulated. According to this system, the
UNITED States, extending from Go to 1875
degrees west longitude, is divided into
Tour time sections, each of 10 degrees of
longitude. exactly equivalent to one
hour. The first (eastern) section in
Guides all territory between the Atlantic
coast and an Irregular limo drawn from
Detroit to Charleston, the latter be-
ing Its most southern point The Sec
ond (centra) section iacludes all the
territory between the last named line
md an irregular line from Bismarck to
the mouth Of the Rio Grando
The third tmountain) section includes
all territory between tho last named
line and nearly the western borders of
Idaho, Utah and Arizona The fourth
(Pacific) section covers the rest of the
country to the Pacific coast Standard
time is uniform inside each of these sec
tons, and the time Of each section diff

1t was paid for. After lying awake all
night revolving in his mind various
schemes old and new to get possession
OF the coveted attire Jones evolved n
brilliant idea He put Oh q high collar
two sizes too large for him, went to his
taller and tried on tho coat again. OF
course 1T did not fit aronnd the collar
ana would have to BIO let out. The next
day he put on II collar half size too
small and tried it OH again. The collar
OF the coat bulged out in tho back as if
1t had been constructed for TIE neck of

Keeping Teams Busy.

One of the hardest tasks of the small
farmer is to keep the teams that he is
obliged to own busy ali times of the
year. There are many times, in winter
especially, when the weather is unfit
for out-of-door work, and then both
men and teams are necessarily idle.
But if all the good weather is used, the
team can be made profitable even dur
ing the winter. On a sleigh with smooth
track larger loads can be drawn than
can be on wagons, and with less labor
to both team and loader. Loads of
manure can be drawn from cities if
contract has been made for it in adj
vance. The market gardeners secure
most of this manure, for they contract
to take it every month through the
year. which most farmers who are
busiest in the summer cannot afford to

Mr.. GandaIl's Remarkable Self.ContrOl.

Frank G. Gandall has lived in Min
neapolis some time. but not until about
two months ago did he discover his
ability to perform unusual things.
1t is a well-known principle Of physi-
ology that in the light the pupils of
the ewes contract and in the dark they
dilate. Gandall can oppose nature by
dilating his pupils in the light and con-
tracing them in the dark. Or he can
perform this phenomenon with one
eve and leave the other in a natural
state.
Another pastime of this man is to
put needles through any part of his
body. 1t matters not if it be an artery
or vein. The hole caused Immediately
closes uD and not a drop of blood is
sues.
Another feature of which this phe-
nomenal man speaks proudly is his
ability to put any part of his body into
the cataleptic state. For instance, he
can cause his arm to become so rigid
that two men cannot bend it. During
his state of complete catalepsy he is
in a semi-conscious condition.
Grandalrs pranks with his heart are
sufficient to make the ordinary man
shudder. While sitting in a chair ne
can cause his heart to beat alternately
slow and fast. Then with mighty
effort he can make the vital organ
stop for an instant. This cannot be
verified by listening to the heart beat,
for the gurgling sound caused browns
the beat. However, by feeling his
pulse the phenomenon can be fully ap-
preciated.
Grandall is twenty-four years old
and is we'll known in the city. His
wonderful freaks of nature are inter-
esting to the medical profession, be-
fore a number of whom he has ex-
hibited himself-St Paul Globe.

Agricultural co-opers ton.

The Home Industrial Association,
with a capital stock of $4,000, has
been organized by company of Rich
mond and Wayne County Qnd) men.
The stock is divided into shares of $500
each, and no member can hold more
than one share. The company was or
ganized to test the experiment of CO.
operative agriculture and horticulture
work, and land has been secured, and
the work on dairy and creamery is in
progress. Bee culture, truck garden
ing and the culture of small fruits and
berries is to be started in the spring.
The promoters of the scheme expect
to inaugurate a general system of CO.
operation, and to start branches in
other States, with headquarters in
Richmond.

more as may be needed. The crib must
not be too wide, and full opportunity
must be given for the wind to pass
through to dry the ears and prevent
heating Of the new grain. This crib
is set on posts as shown, and is cover
ed on both sides with lath laid length
ways. The upper part may be used
as loft for storing a surplus when
needed. The top of each side should be
closed in, as the sides are. 1t is a
profitable measure of safety to cover
such a crib as this inside with fine
wire gauze, with such small mesh as
will keep out the grain moths. Where
the danger from these does not exist,
the quarter-inch wire net will keep out
the mice and rats.

crib with driveway between the two
sides. The cribs should not be more

Corn Cribs.

There is more loss and waste for
want of safe corn cribs on the farms
than by any other neglect to ensure
safety from small vermin. Rats, mice
and those insects which ravage this
grain, will frequently do more damage
than would pay the interest on the
cost of the best and most substantial
cribs to store it in. In the warmer part
of the United States there are two spe-
cies of insects either of which will
destroy full half of the corn every
year by laying their eggs on the grain,
and the grubs will eat the grain into
holes, several of these holes frequently
being found in each grain.
In the first illustration is given a plan

s1ow-Ripenins Cheese.

The anxiety of cheese makers to have
their cheese come early into market in
duces them to make a soft porous
cheese into which air easily enters, and
which consequently ripens early. But
cheese thus made cannot be kept for a
long time without having it's quality
much deteriorated. If a larger proper
ton Of cheese was pressed thoroughly
SO as to have firmer texture, it would
keep until times when there is little
good cheese in market, and higher
prices could be obtained for it. But the
firm cheese has so much less moisture
than the porous cheese that the price
does not pay the maker.

The Horse in Battle.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes OF
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits, the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. II
the wait is spun out he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. II
he has been six months in service he
knows every bugle call. As the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between his teeth. AS he
moves out he will either seek to get
on faster than he should or bolt. He
cannot bolt, however. The lines will
carry him forward, and after a min
ute he viii grip, lay back his ears, and

Successful Dyein.

Take 4 ounces of blue vitriol to
pound of logwood; dissolve the vitrios
in little lukewarm water: put six gai-
Ions of water in an iron vessel, add the
vitriol and the goods to be dyed-just
as many goods as the water will cover.
Cotton and wool will color the same.
Punch down at the sides and let boil
moderately three-quarters of an hour,
then remove, drain and wash in So
luton of water and soap, warm; the
homemade I've soap is the best. Now
use the same quantity of clear water
as before, and the logWood, stir we'll
and let boil. Place the goods in slowly
and boil same length of time. Wash
well. Hang in the sun to dry. Always
choose clear day for dyeing, as the
sun helps to brighten the color and give
the goods new look.

Clover Is Best as Hay.

1t requires more labor to cut clover
for the silo than it does to cut corn, as
the gum in the clover stalks dulls the
knives and prevents rapid work. The
further fact that clover is harder to
keep in best condition as silage, and
that some dry feed is always needed
when clover is fed, ought to be suffi-
cient to decide that the clover growth
on farm should always be fed as hay.
The ensilaged corn is apt to make stock
too laxative when fed with it. The
clover is dry and nutritious, and is just
the kind of feed to give with ensilage.

Cover the Saucepan.

The contents o. a saucepan Should
never cook, unless the recipe expressly
states to the contrary, without a cover
over them. Not only is the steaming
usually beneficial to the Article in qles-
ton, but when that steam is allowed
to till the kitchen it harms the walls
and furniture. Moreover. it imparts
that smell Of cooking, not to the one
room, but more or less to the whole
house, which is so diSagreeable and is
what is often graphically, if somewhat
unkindly. called "the boarding house
