STATUES OF SNOW.

A Paris sculptor, with an apprecia-

the novel scheme of turning ont "snow

Herald. Statues Of any required shape

capital. To all intents and purposes
those statues are carved out Of the com.

fact, they are only coated with snow

pipes, thin and light.
The discovery. which has resulted in
a mass of orders reaching the sculptor
and a consequent substantial increase

the artist was being shown the method
of icemaking by machinery that the
plan presented itself to him. The lique-
fed gases. be noticed, in their trip
through the copper pipes produced on
the outside an appearance unmistaka-
bly, that Of snow. This had been caused
by the deposition of the water vapor Of
the atmosphere on the metal and the
freezing of it by the action Of the acid.
This system, reasoned the sculptor,
might be applied to statuary. And be
applied it, A statue Of thin copper was
quickly constructed and a box of lique-
fed carbonic acid placed in the base.
When this gas evaporated, the effect Of
freezing was produced the moisture in
the air was attracted to the copper
sides and quickly frozen into the sem
blance Of snow. Many beautiful designs
have been turned out in pursuance of
this principle, and the sculptor is said
to be reaping a golden reward for his
snow discovery.

THE POET OLIVER WENDELL
HOLINESS WITTlCLSM.

The great poet, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, once said: eff all drugs were
thrown into the sea, it would be all
the better for mankind, and all the
worse for the fishes" Of course the
genial poet referred only to poison
Gus drugs as used by most physicians.
He certainly could not have meant all
medicines, for Nature, in her woods
and fields, has been most prolific in
yielding up her treasures of harmless,
vegetable remedies for every disease.
The wonderful discoveries of the IA
nous DR.. Greene, Of "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, amply prove the fact.
Indeed, this skilled specialist in the
treatment of nervous, chronic and lin
gering complaints, uses in his enor-
nous practice, absolutely no poison
Gus drugs, but confines his treatment
solely to the use of harmless vegeta
BILE remedies. His world wide known
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, is only one of his
many remarkable discoveries. His
extraordinary success in curing dis
eases of whatever name or nature,
the innumerable reservations to health
under the use Of these marvellous cur
ative medicines as prescribed by DIR.
Greene, establish beyond doubt that
Nature has provided remedies for
each and every phase of disease, and
that DR.. Greene, by his deep investi-
cations and his enormously large ex
perience, has discovered and prepared
remedies which surely and certainly
cure these complicated cases of chron-
ic disease. Any sufferer can demon
strate this fact, as DIR, Greene gives
all the privilege of consulting him,
personally or by letter, absolutely
free of charge. If you are out Of
health and have failed to be cured,
see DIR. Greene at once. or write to
him freely or fully about your case.
You can do so in perfect and absolute
confidence. He will explain your
complaint and advise you what to do
to be cured.

CARE OF THE BLOOD SOW.

Care of the brood SOW from date of
service to time of narrowing is one
that should not be overlooked or
treated lightly by the feeder. If the
SOW has just weaned her pigs and is
thin feshed she should be fed oats and
corn ground together, or ship stuff or
ground rye, mixed with water to
thick slop. Feed her twice per day
quite liberal to get her to thriving. AS
soon as the SOW gets in thriving con-
dition then slack off the feed, and just
feed enough to keep her gaining
little in flesh till one month before
narrowing time. The SOW should have
the run of clover or a rye field dur
ing pregnacy, and if there should be
snow on the ground SO the SOW cannot
get the rye or clover, then she should
have clover hay cut fine and little
bran mixed with it, steamed or scald-
ed. Fill large barrel with the fine
cut clover hay and mix bran with it;
mix it all up and down and then pour
over it kettle of boiling hot water

BEEF CATTLEFOR MARKET.

The high prices realized for good
| beef stock for the past two years have
especially stimulated the cattle indus
| try, says a writer in Farm, Furnace
and Factory. The best animal is the
one that will give the highest quality
| of beef and the most of it for the least
| feed. The ideal beef form is low, broad
| deep chested, with a smooth, square
back, and a thick, even covering of
good meats on the parts that give the
Porterhouse steaks and other high
priced cuts. Porterhouse steak sells
for eighteen to twenty cents per pound,
when neck sells at three cents and
round steak at eight to ten cents;
and prime rib roast sells at from twelve
to fourteen cents, when flank brings
but four to five cents. In the New
York and Chicago markets choice rib
and loin cuts command about four
times the average price paid for the
rest of the carcass. Hence, broad we'll
covered backs and ribs are absolutely
necessary for the best results. There
are too many scrubs fed. The same
feed fed to Shorthorns and Herefords
will produce from twenty five per
cent to forty per cent more money,
and remember that this may mean the
difference between producing beef at
a hansome profit and at cost. 1t may
mean the difference between success
and failure. Avoid rough, raw boned
animals.
The Jersey and other dairy types
are rough, angular, and when fatted
do not put the fat into the tissues of
the high priced cuts of steak and roasts
as do the beef breeds, such as the
Shorthorn and Hereford, but they
store up an amount of internal fat or
suet worth only about four cents per
pound. This is why the distinctly
dairy types and scrubs can never be
made to look plump and smooth no
matter how highly they may be fat
tened. A ripe, juicy, highly favored
cut such as demanded by the well-to
do families, good hotels and the bet
ter class of restaurants, must have the
fat deposited evenly through the It's
sues.

THE ARCTIC.

1t has long been known that the
northeastern section of Vermont, Gov
ering at least one third of the terri
tory of the state, owing to the rigor
of the climate, apple orcharding to be
successful, must embrace only the
hardies varities, SO that it is useless to
cultivate the Baldwin or r. I. green
ing and many other of the lea ding
popular market varieties.
In the effort to find varieties suffi-
GENTLY hardy during the last thirty
years by the introduction of the Rus
sian varieties and seedlings of Amer
lean growth there is now fairly good
supply of hardy trees producing fruit
for summer, fall and early winter are
like the yellow Transparent and Red
Astrachan for summer the Duchess
and Peach for fall and for late fall and
early winter the Fameuse. Wealthy
and Rolf and to them many others of
decided merit may be added. But
while the demand for hardy varieties
maturing in summer, fall and early
winter has been so we'll met the sup
ply Of late keepers has been more linn
tied mostly furnishing fruit of no more
than medium quality, while the Cana
da Baldwins, SCOTS winter, Salome
and Walbridge have their merits yet
they are not sufficiently high to com
pete in the general market of the
country with other varieties of
late keeping winter apples and it is
only since the Arctic variety has been
introduced that we could hatter
ourselves that we had variety of
late keeping apples of sufficient merit
