Mnter pnmer Ahnndonea.

The famous incline railway at Pros
pect Park, Niagara Falls. is to be 0per'
ated electrically according to recent
decision OF the Neg York State Park
Commissioners. Heretofore this rail-
way has always been operated by water
power, but in view OF the fact that
during the great ice bridges, when
tourists flock to see this marvellous
sight, from all over the state, the rail-
way is usually imperative. This has
been due to the checking Of the intake
with ice and very often too low water.
As there is no other means of access
without tedious descent and ascent,
the tourists have been greatly incon-
venienced. and the management have
lost considerable money. With abun-
dant electric power available from the
Niagara Falls Power Company the cleo
trio operation Of the road appears to be
most aprOpOs. So.

A COW for Everv Acre.

We do not hear so much as we used
to do about the Importance of pro-
ducing enough feed on an acre to keep
a COW through the year. 1t can be done
by growing corn as the main feed. But
that is not always, nor generally. econ
omy, for If all the land is kept in corn
it must require more manure than
where It can be every three or four
years seeded with clover, and after all
the soil would be less fertile than after
a clover seeding. Besides, more depends
on the milking character of the cows
than on their number. The best dairy
men prefer rather to reduce their herds
in number, and still get as much milk
and butter as formerly. This makes
the labor much less, and If the lessened
number of cows leaves more land not
needed to keep them, 1t can probably
be given to other uses that will pay
much better.-American Cultiyator

Mnkinr Nentsfoot on.

Every farmer who kills beef should
save all the feet and get the oil out Of
them. This is called neatsfoot oil, and
is valuable for many purposes. Almost
everybody understands how It is made.
All that is needed after thoroughly
washing the hoofs to remove dirt is TO
put them in water and keep the water
boiling several hours, until all the oil
rises. The four feet of full-grown
beef will yield about a pint of heats
foot oil. OF course it as much trouble
to boil few hoofs as 1t is to care for a
great many, but neatsfoot oil Is valua-
Bile enough to be worth saving. even If
the feet of only one animal can be pro-
cured to extract it from.

Guessing weight Of Stool.

One of the best ways of training the
eye to judge both of live and dressed
weights of animals is offered at "butch-
ering time" If the farmer has some
barn scales It is easy to secure the llvs
weight of animals at any time. But
there is great difference in the amount
of waste in killing and dressing, even
among animals of the same breed. 1t
is this kind of knowledge that the buy
er learns by long practice, and unless
farmers want to be cheated in selling
live stock they must learn also. The
boy on the farm should be encouraged
to make his guess as to how much each
hog or beef would weigh, both alive
and after 1t was dressed for marketing.
1t is knowledge that every boy on the
farm should try to gain.

time. Put in another bundle Of straw
and repeat the operation until the first
course is completed.
Put on the second course In the same
way, having the bundles in this cover
the cracks of the first course and the
butts extending to the edge of the roof.
The third and remaining layers are put
on in the same way, except that the
butts of these are always about a foot
above the butts of the layer below, just
as the lower edge of one row of shingles
is several inches above the one just be-
low 1t. In the engraving b, and d
show the relative positions of the third
fourth and fifth courses. Always cover
completely the twine which holds on
one course with the lower part Of the
next above 1t, just as the nails in one
course of shingles are covered by the
next layer. If the work is carefully
done. the roof will be waterproof and
will last for many years.
