thread. and all that he has to do Is to un-
screw one handle and put on another. Mr..
Kirk Is very partial to a handle that Is
made Of boar's tusk that was shot ON
one Of Emperor Wilie's shooting pre-
serves by a man who was shooting with the
royal party. and who made him a present

One is mounted as an umbrella handle and
the other forms one of the set Of seven

when It comes to matters Of dress. But
whether he would succeed in originating
anything new II It was something abso-

tanning to dress, one Of them being con-
venience that Is readily appreciable. 1t
looks like an ordinary umbrella, but Just
on the inside of the handle Is tiny spring,
which, when pressed, closes the umbrella.
For the use Of this patent an eastern firm
pays him royalty of ten cents on every
umbrella made by them. and this amounts
to considerably over hundred dollars a
month. Quite tidy Mttle sum, and per-
haps enough to pay his laundry bill. He
was also the inventor of the cane UNI

The Science of Feeding.

Under the above heading Hoards'
Dairyman says: Strictly speaking, the
matter of feeding for milk is yet a
ong way from being IN exact science.
Probably IT never will be, owing to
two very variable factors in the prob
lem-the COW and the man who feeds
her.
But we are fast learning something
from science concerning the principles
and laws which govern results. We
do not need to be wholly blind and
stupid on this matter unless we wish to.
There is a simple and yet potent rea-
son why the COW must have sufficient
amount of protein each day in her
food if she is expected to give profit
able mess of milk. Of course, she
must be the right kind of COW, and
be handled right otherwise. But
this is another branch of tho science.
The reason why she must have her
daily protein is, that she must put q
certain proportion of protein in her
milk-that is, the casein, or cheesy
part. There is a great, big MUST
behind the cow in this. There is
only one way out of it, that is, to
make less milk. Does anyone want
her to make less milk? If so, feed
her without any regard to the science
of her work and she will do it. Thou

A svstem of proflt-sharing.

It seems to me that q manager
should receive pay in proportion to
his ability to make the farm pay; and
if he cannot make enough to pay ex-
penses, including himself, and enough
to allow a fair interest on the invest
ment, he should not expect any enc
to furnish money not earned on the
farm to pay him q large salary.
Further, if he can pay all expenses
and interest on Investment he should
share in any profit there may be be-
yond that; this is, of course, in case
the farm is to be run on O business
basis.
Until about year ago [ had hired
a superintendent to manage my farm,
and paid stated wages; but now ]
am working on following plan: ]
furnish farm, best of tools, stock,
money when needed-in fact, every
thing; then from the income is SET

ager lin the present case the wages
are more than he ever received be-
fore, and include all he can use III
his family which is produced on the
farm, including of course, house rent)
then six per cent. on the Investment
for my share, from which I pay taxes,
insurance and repairs on buildings,
and whatever is left is to be divided
equally between US. Of course the
general expenses Of the farm are paid
for first out of the income. The man
agement is intrusted to the manager,
but the plans are considered anc
agreed upon between US. This might
in some cases cause some friction, but
has not caused any trouble so far
And I ask, why has not q man with
this chance just as good an opportu.
nifty as if he owned o farm himself:
For in that case he is entitled to in
terest on his own Investment, and il
there are men who can make it pay
there are plenty of men who will fur
nish farms for them.-F. e. W., II

Locations For Orchards.

A dry, gravelly or sandyridge is not
good place to plant apple OF pear
trees for profit. Both of these kinds
of fruits like a deep soil with plenty
of moisture. Where there is O va
riety of soil in the orchard, it is easy
to learn after the trees come into
bearing which are most thrifty and
productive. It will invariably be
found that the best bearing trees are
on low and somewhat moist soil. For
apears, % clay.subsoilis best: The tap
root of the trees will strike down into
the clay. Such pear trees will be gem
orally exempt from blight, as their
roots, being in the subsoil, are not
affected by sudden changes in temp
erature.
One of the reasons why low, moist
soil is best for orchards is that the
borers which attack the tree are there
much less destructive than on high
and dry land. The tree being thriftier
is not so attractive place for deposit
ing the eggs of the beetle which pro-
duces the destructive worm. Where
there is a great deal of sap it interferes
with the deposit of the eggs, and it
may sometimes destroy them after
they are in the bark. Apple and pear
trees on dry ridges are so certain to be
attacked by the borer that compare
lively few escape. There is also less
moisture in the soil, and this always
means q smaller supply OF mineral fer
tility, for, evenYthough it be present,
it requires moisture to make. it avail
able as plant food. On the ridge much
of the snow is apt to be blown off dur
ing the winter, and this makes a
smaller supply of water in the subsoil
the following summer.
Tho peach and cherry, however, do
much better on dry soil than on moist,
and so also does the plum, though oil
on such land must have extra large
supplies of mineral fertilizers in avail
able form to make up for soil defcien-
cies. All kinds of trees strike their
roots much deeper than the usual
depth of plowiug. A thorough sub
soiling before the trees are planted,
and also thorough undertaking, if
the soil is saturated with water, are
needed when deep moist soils are be-
ing prepared for planting. 1t is i'm
portant to make the drains through
orchards as deep rs possible, SO that
the tree roots will be less likely to get
into them. When the land is under
drained, make map showing where
each drain is, and when the trees are
planted leave the drains, SO far as
possible, in the middle between the
rows. If q tree is planted directly
over an underdrain, its tap root will
probably strike down into it, and will,
perhaps, fill it up after few years: II
the underdrains are deep and laid in
the middle of the space between the
rows, there is less danger of this.

They Tested Their Klondike Outfits.

There are two men on Vests Hill
who are going to Klondike next
month. Each has complete outfit,
and is anxious for the time to come
when they can go. They have large
and heavy blankets, and in order to
test them each wrapped himself up
last Saturday night and lay down in
the snow in his yard. They were SO
comfortable that they fell asleep, and
in the morning were completely
covered with snow. Their families
did not know what had become OF
them, not dreaming that they would
remain out all night. About 10 o'clock
Sunday morning one of them awoke,
but as everything was dark to him he
supposed it was still night and went
to sleep again, and the next time he
woke up it was $3.50 i'll the afternoon.
The other fellow did not wake up at
all until he was aroused from his
slumber by his partner, who came to
the conclusion that he had slept long
enough, and, raising himself up, lifted
up about wagon load of snow. Both
were in a state of perspiration. To
say that they were astonished when
told how long they had been asleep
would be putting it mildly. They
have now come to the conclusion that
they can stand the rigors of the
Alaskan climate. Dubuque (Iowa)

A New Kind of yvater Tower.

A portable water tower is the inven-
ton with which San rancisco is to
bid defiance to fires in the future.
It is the invention of II. II. Garter,
master machinist in the city's fire de-
partment. It is metal structure
weighing only $500 pounds. 1t is a
telescope, the inner tube of which is
of brass and twenty feet long, and the
outer one of steel, twenty-five feet
long. The old-fashioned cotton hose
pipe, which frequently burst, is not
needed at all.
The tower is arranged in sections, so
that it can be detected at any angle
within forty degrees Of the perpendic-
ular. The whole front of burning
building is thus exposed to the streams
from the tower, and not merely couple
of windows, as has hitherto been the
case. The whole tower was con-
structed in San Francisco at cost OF
$4,000.

generally followed by cliques of the
non players who yet understand and
appreciate good music. The plunkers
and strummers and members of the
vast mouth-organ brigade take up their
