Mammoth Gun Casting.

The largest gun casting ever made IN
this country was cast at the ordnance
department Of the Bethlehem Iron
Company Thursday morning. The
casting is for the cube Of a sixteen-inch
gun for the United States Government.
Il "a nineteen feet six inches long,
octagonal in shape and seventy-four
inches in diameter.
More than 100 gross tons Of metal
were used in Its manufacture. Three
furnaces, two Of forty tons capacity
each and one Of twenty tons, were
used to prepare the metal in. The cast
Ing. which is the first and largest OF Its
kind ever made, was success In every
way. The Jackets for the big gun will
be cast later.-Washington Star.

employer; "what wages are you to re-

A CASE OF HEART FAILURE.


She was. much frightened, but noticed
that In intervals in which her stomach did
not annoy her, her hearts action became
normal. Reasoning correctly that her d.
gostion was alono at fault, she procured
the proper medicine to trent that trouble,
and with immediate good results. Her
appetite came back, the choking spells be-
came less frequent and finally ceased. Her
weight, which had been greatly reduced,
was restored, and she now weighs more
than for years. Her blood soon became
pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case is Of general interest because
the disease is very common one. That
others may know the means Of cure we
give the name OF the medicine used-DF.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. These
pills contain all the elements necessary TO
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Cement floors to stables are said to
he cold and uncomfortable in winter,
which is an objection, but floors should
always be kept we'll covered with cut
straw, leaves or litter of some kind.
There is no floor that serves better as
a protection against rats, and cement
enables the farmer to construct his
floors in manner to collect the liquids
and thus enrich his manure heap.
Many fauners who are sufficiently
progressive to invest one or two dol
lars in a sitting Of eggs from pure bred
fowls have been ridiculed for their ex-
travagance in so doing, but after they
have established good aocks their
neighbors who ridiculed them usually
promptly come over and request to
Exchange eggs," so asto derive bene-
fit from the enterprise Of others at q
triding cost.
There is no poorer economy than in
buying poor harness because it is
cheap. Well-tanned leather with due
care will resist dampness. aud will keep
sound q long time. Harness should
never be kept in the stable. There is
too much ammonia in stables, which
will quickly cause harness to rot.
When used in warm weather the har.
ness should be cleaned often, and kept
soft and flexible with oil.
The man who grows pig, whether
in the fall, or spring, and lets him
"root, hog, or die," cannot expect
much profit. The pig is gown to con-
centrate the marketable products Of
the farm into small space and still
leave most Of the products on the
farm. He is q grass eater and an
omniverous creature, hence it is easy
to supply his wants, and they should
be supplied to his full capacity con.
stantly.
There is nothing fancy in breed
ing animals Of pedigree. The animal1
are bred for merit, and any farme
can be breeder of pure breeds. BIZ
few keep stock for pleasure or fancy,
the object being to secure as larg
profit as possible. The loss resulting
from the use of unfit animals on farmt
is larger than all the taxes paid by
farmers, and the gain Of a few more
quarts Of milk per day amounts to {
large sum in year.
It is never good plan to mulch
orchards late in fall, especially in I

Improvement in Tomatoes.

There has been great improvement
in both the shape and quality of
tomatoes since we first new and liked
them. The original tomato was very
rough, had little pulp, and was merely
a bag Of seeds and water with very
thick, tough skin. The first improve
ment was in securing sound and
smooth tomatoes, but somewhat
smaller than the fruit was originally.
But for many years we have had toma-
toes full of pulp, and having compare.
lively few seeds. These are much
the best for sooking and canning, as
when cooked there is something to
them besides seeds.

Pasturing Winter Grain.

When either winter rye or wheat ore
sown very early it is no injury, but
rather benefit, to have the top eaten
down, provided it be done by small
stock like calves or sheep, which will
not deeply poach the soil. Trampling
of the grain by either calves or sheep
makes the loose surface soil more COM
pact, so that it will not absorb so much
water. The result is the root will not
heave SO badly in winter. But the
cropping off Of some of the top is
equally benefit. Tho root growth is
not lessened but is rather increased,
as the soil is compacted above it and
therefore the roots spread out near tho
surface and ore less easily thrown out.
Besides, with less top there is less sur
face for moisture to evaporate from the
plant, which it does even in cold
weather. Every winter much of the
top growth of grain is Drowned be-
cause the roots cannot supply the
moisture required to keep it green.
All these Drowned leaves have to be
dropped off by the growth Of new ones
in spring. It is far better for the
plant to have them eaten off or clipped
off the previous fall.

Changing Bearing Years.

q changing hearing 1eafss
It is q most unfortunate fact that
everywhere nearly all the old orchards
get into the habit of bearing only on
alternate years. What is worse, this
year is generally the same for all old
trees, so that when the trees do bear
the fruit is hardly worth the gather
ing. This doubtless originally came
from frost or other climatic condi-
tions which some spring destroyed
Ill the blossoms and made the trees
barren that season. Then next year
they bore on extra heavy crop, which
SO exhausted the tree that it could not
produce fruit buds for another years
fruiting. We have known farmers
who on part of their apple orchard
entirely destroyed the fruit, but this
sometimes resulted in the trees MAX
ing large extra growth of wood that
year, and not bearing until the year
came around when all apple trees
were full of fruit. There were few
apples this year, and if all your trees
make full show of blossoms next
MAY we would advice you to bend the
branches over and hold them in a
cramped position during the growing
season next summer. If the trees are
denuded Of fruit before it has made
much growth, this plan will probably
be effective. We have tried it on
young orchard, and have thus brough
