Narrow Escapes.

Adam Vandever, one Of the original
settlers of Tallulah, Georgia. was a
famous hunter and trapper. The his
torian of Georgia relates several Of Mr..
Vandever's hairbreadth escapes, from
which we select the following:
At one time Mr.. Vandever was en-
camped on lofty mountain in Union
county. To make an observation of
his surroundings b climbed upon an
immense boulder which stood upon the
brow of precipice. Just then he heard
the howl of wolf in the woods below.
He stepped to the far side Of the bould-
er, hoping to get better glimpse of
the enemy. AS he moved, the great
rock, which CHANGED to be delicately
balanced, began to roll, and an instant
later it was plunging over the preci-
pice. Fortunately an oak tree dropped
over the boulder, and in that moment
of peril the woodsman gave an up
ward leap and grasped one Of the
branches and hung suspended in mid
air while the great stone went crash
ing down the mountain side.
81 felt my hair turn white" said the
old gentleman afterward, when / real
lied how near I'd come to going along
with that rocking stone. The limb I
hung too want over-stnsit, and when
I swung back from over the cliff and
dropped to the ground I felt as weak
as baby.

Our Horses In Germanv

Exports Of horses to Germany con-
tinue to attract attention both at home
and abroad. Regarding American
horses in Germany, the Hamburger
Nachtrichten. in recent article, says:
"Importations from America have
caused the horse-raisers of Holstein to
suffer much of late. A stock company
has just been formed in Berlin for the
express purpose Of importing horses
from the United States. The Ameri-
cans have succeeded in breeding q
horse which compares very favorably
in every way with the Holstein animal,
especially in those points so highly
priced in work horse, namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of saxony.
Thuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late, owing to American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped a drove of eighty through
Hamburg en- route for Milan. Italy,
where they are to be used on the tram
ways. Almost every week long
freight train filled with American
horses leaves the Berliner Bahnhof for
various parts Of Germany. In spite Of
expensive freight and a tariff Of 81 per
head, the Americans have built up Q
very respectable competition in the
German market" :

Testing Cream By Weicht.

4WGAuB CEe0" Oy W0lSnes
From Farmers Review: Since the
number Of hand separators has in
creased at home diaries, creamery but
ter-makers have occasion to test q
considerable number Of cream samples,
and this has been the source of a
Great many inquiries during the past
few months in regard to cream test
ing. Evidently factories are now re-
ceiving great deal more cream from
their patrons than has formerly been
the case. A request was recently
made for "a rule for testing fat in
cream when testing by weight" In
replying to this it is we'll to make
plain the foundation for such rule.
Three things should be remembered.
First, that the sp. or. Of butter fat Is
assumed to be 0.9, /. e., If one volume
of water weighs then the same VOL
ume of butter fat weighs 0.9. Second.
the space occupied by per cent on
the neck of Babcock milk test bottle
or on a cream test bottle should be
exactly or c. c. Third, Is grams Of
milk or cream must be placed in q
test bottle in order to read the result
directly from the scale on the neck.
From these three factors. rule for
calculating the test Of q certain weight
Of cream is easily constructed. II
grams Of cream are weighed into a
test bottle, 10 c. c. Of water added to
1t and the test completed in the same
way that sample of milk would be
tested, the fat in the neck Of the test
bottle may fill space Of 6 per cent
This figure does not mean that the
cream contained only per cent fat
hut the butter-maker wants to know
from these figures how much the cream
al tually did test. This he can reason
out about as follows: If one per cent
space measures or c. c. and the sp.
gr. of butter fat is O.9, then one per
cent spaces weighs 0.9xQ2 equals is
grams. The butter fat Of the test it
was found filled space Of 6 per cent.
and this multiplied by .1S gives l.0S
grams of fat which must have come
from the grams Of cream originally
weighed into the test bottle All that
it is necessary to do now IS to find
what per cent the LOS or. Of fat is Of
the or. of cream (1.08x100) divided by
equals ZIG per cent. which is the test
of the cream. From this demonstra-
ton the following rule may be formed:
To find the test of weighed quantity
of cream multiply the fat reading by
10 and divide the product by the
amount Of cream weighed into the
test bottle.

A correspondent Of the Farmers Re-
view writes: The silo has become a
necessary adjunct to a large proper
ton of farms. especially dairy farms.
Various styles of silo are constructed,
but a very simple stave silo within
the means of almost anyone is de-
scrihed by the Virginia Experiment
Farm. A circle 16 feet in diameter is
marked on the ground and covered
with short pieces Of plank. Four
pieces Of plank is feet long, 6 inches
wide. and 2 inches thick are then set
on end on the circle at equal intervals
These are held in an upright position
by braces in various directions. An
iron band is placed about / foot from
the bottom of the silo and held in po-
s!tion by nails driven into the plank
and bent up and over the band. A Sec
ond band is placed about foot from
the top. The rest of the slaves are
then set in place, NAH being driven
into each to support the bands. The
latter are then frightened somewhat and
3 more put on, the distance between
the bands being about 4 feet. Instead
of hoops Of round iron ordinarily used,
bands made as follows are recon-
mended: Procure Gas can usually be
done) partially worn tire iron from
heavy wagons. Get smith to rivet,
not weld, these together so that two
bands will go around the silo. Rivet
to the ends Of these bands short pieces
of iron one-half inch thick by 2 inches
wide. Turn up inches Of this thick
iron and punch three-fourths inch holes
in the turned-up portion. For each
band procure two bolts a foot long
and three-fourths inch in diameter.
Have threads cut on bolts nearly the
entire length. and place these bolts
through the holes in upturned ends;
put on nuts and tighten the silo. These
are stronger, cheaper and easier to
work than the round bands, and con-
sidered a great improvement over the
latter.

CHAPTER xv1.-tcoxr1xuEp.,

Indeed, in this particular winter, aft
Sr the finding and losing of the treas
ure, the Desprezes had an anxiety of a
very different order, and one which lay
nearer their hearts. Jean-Marie was
plainly not himself. He had fits of hec-
tic activity, when he made unusual ex-
ertions to please, spoke more and fast
or, and redoubled in attention to his
lessons. But these were interrupted by
spells of melancholia and broodins
silence, when the boy was little better
chan unbearable.
SILENCE" the Doctor moralized-
you see, Anastasie, what comes of ST.
hence. Had the boy properly unbo-
somed himself, the little disappoint-
nRent about the treasure, the little an
noyance about Casimir's incivility,
would long ago have been forgotten.
As it is. they prey upon him like a
disease. He loses flesh, his appetite
IS variable, and, ON the whole, i'm
paired. I keep him on the strictest
regimen, exhibit the most powerful
toatcs; both in vain"
Don't you think you drug him too
Ruch?" asked madame, with an ire
preside shudder.
fDrug?" cried the Doctor; II drug?
.Anastasie, you are mad!'
Time went on, and the boys health
still slowly declined. The Doctor
blamed the weather, which was cold
and boisterous. He called in his con-
frere from Bourron, took fancy for
him. magnified his capacity, and was
pretty soon under treatment himself
it scarcely appeared for what COM
plant. He and Jean-Marie had each
medicine to take at different periods Of
the day. The Doctor used to lie in
wait for the exact moment, watch in
hand There is nothing like regular

and dilate on the virtues of the
draught; and if the boy seemed none
the better, the Doctor was not at all
the worse.
Gunpowder Day, the boy was partic-
uiariy low. 1t was scowling, squally
weather. Huge broken companies of
clouds sailed swiftly overhead; raking
CLEANS of sunlight swept the village,
and were followed with intervals of
darkness and white, flying rain. At
times the wind lifted up its voice and
beloved. The trees were all scourg-
ing themselves along the meadows, the
last leaves flying like dust.
The Doctor, between the boy and the
weather, was in his elements; he had a
theory to prove. He sat with his watch
out and a barometer in front of him,
waiting for the squalls and noting their
effect upon the human pulse. "For the
true philosopher" he remarked de-
fixhtedly, every fact in nature is a
toy" A letter came to him; but, as its
arrival conceded with the approach of
another gust, he merely crammed it
into his pockets, gave the time to jean
Marie, and the next moment they were
both counting their pulses as if for a
wager.

Poultry Notes.

The lazy hens are the ones to kill
of. Generally they are the fat ones
that have stopped laying and have got
into habits that will make them poor
layers in the future. They will be the
last ones to leave the roosts in the
morning and the first ones to 20 to
roost at night. Often through the day
they will be seen perched up on the
roost resting. Such birds are of no
value except for the pot, and the
sooner they are sent there the better.
Late fall chickens should be pushed
forward by every means in the reach
Of the poultry grower. Both meat and
ground bone should be fed in consid-
cradle quantities, so that the birds
will have got good growth and good
supply of feathers before the end of
November. Probably the best single
food to help attain this result is ground
beef meal. It is rather expensive, but
goes good ways. If reserved for the
use Of the late chicks ten pounds
would last them till we'll along into
the winter.
Farmers that feed large quantities
OF wheat screenings to poultry should
be careful that the screenings do not
contain too large proportion of seeds
Of the corn cookie. These seeds are
poisonous, but are so only when eaten
In some quantities. They will kill any
kind Of farm stock, but are seldom
eaten by any farm stock in quantities
to kill except by poultry. There is
little doubt that many a farmer has
lost fowls by mysterious diseases. az
he supposed, that have really been
killed by the innocent-looking corn
cookie seeds fed in his screenings.
Every kind Of business tends to seek
level of profits. It is therefore I'M
reasonable to invest $500 in the poul-
try business and expect it to return
an annual income Of $500 or $500. A
man should expect a profit only of 6
or Z Der: cent after deducting from the
total receipts enough to cover all ex-
penses, with an additional amount an
