The Age of Iron.

The census, taken at the dawn of the
twentieth century, marks the greatest
epoch in our national life, says the
North American Review The age Of
iron has come to a climax with force
almost dynamic.
The world has witnessed the golden
age Of Augustus, the silver age of
Elizabeth, the era of great wars and
Of wonderful progress in the arts and
sciences; but as the nineteenth century
eliminates, behold! the age Of iron and
steam and electricity, telegraphs, sew
ing machines, telephones, automobiles;
an age which is devoted to material de-
velopment, to the accumulation of
wealth and to the upbuilding of vast
enterprises, and which halls the advent
of the uncrowned king of commerce,
the consolidation of great corporate in
terests. High-water mark in our COM
mercial and industrial life has been at
tanned. and to that fact the vast emu
meration to be taken in 1900 will add
it's testimony. The work Of the twelfth
census will mark the industrial growth
Of the nation and be another mile-post
in it's marvellous history.

Silace Crops.

The reports concerning sweet corn
for silage are quite conflicting, says
Hoard's Dairyman. Some say that it
has a tendency to make very sour
silage, and others claim that it is as
unobjectionable in this respect as any.
If we had the sweet corn growing, we
would not hesitate to put it in silage,
but we would not plant it especially
for this purpose; neither would we
plant KafHr corn for silage when the
ordinary maize grows to perfection.
Kaffir corn is especially adapted for
semi-arid climates because of it's
drought resisting capacity. We are
not aware that teosinte has ever been
tried in the silo, but alfalfa has been,
and successfully so, especially in Cali
fornia.

Pope Leo i'm Extreme Old Age.

A correspondent in Rome, writing to
4 London paper, thus describes the
present appearance of the Pope: There
is no doubt that since I last saw Leo
XIII. he has greatly altered. He is
much thinner and much whittier than
he was few months back. His face
looks so very small that one almost
fears that should he wear his mitre it
would entirely extinguish his tiny face
and head On the other hand, his eyes
are bright, and his voice is fairly
strong. He could not stand unassisted,
or even walk across the room without
the aid of a stick, and is afflicted by a
constant irritating cough. His intellect
is as strong as ever, and his memory is
very clear and precise. He is, moreover,
quite able to attend to business and to
write his letters and sign documents.
His last signature shows no alteration
in the firmness of the hand, and is as
clear and distinct as it was twenty
years ago"

Stecping Oats for Horses.

The nutritive power of oats, Herr
Kalf, a German agriculturist says,
may be considerably augmented by
Sleeping the grain in water before CIV
ing it to horses. This is his plan: He
has three troughs, each of which holds
as much oats as will be required for
zone days feeding. The first day the
first trough is filled with oats and water
ut 4 temperature of s degrees c. poured
over it, and the whole mass is well
stirred. The water is left in the trough
about six hours, after which it is
strained off through q hole in the bot
tom of the trough. The next day the
operation is repeated in the second
trough, and again on the following day
the third trough. The oats thus steep
ed in hot water get up fermentation
and at the expiration Of forty-eight
hours are ready to be given to the
horses. and will then, according to
Herr kalff, produce the maximum

BaIinx Clover Hay.

1t is claimed that clover hay may be
baled in the field, but the experiments
made are not sufficient to show the
benefits derived compared with storing
clover in the NOW. The clover is cut in
the morning, after it is free from dew
or rain, and when we'll wilted the hay
tedder is used, so as to give it every
chance to cure. In the afternoon the
hay is baled and hauled to the barn.
If this method is practiced care must
be exercised in having the hay proper
ly cured and in just the proper condi-
ton for baling, as baled clover is more
liable to heat than timothy OF other
kinds.

Vortex Motion in Atmosphere.

Vortex motion in the atmosphere,
though seldom obtrusively patent in
England, must certainly be reckoned
with, and all ascending currents, from
whatever cause, appear of this nature,
says the National Review. Dust whirls
in spring, and twisting columns Of dry
leaves or hay in summer and autumn
are evidences Of the existence Of such
upward currents. But the aeronaut
can detect them on larger scale and
penetrating sometimes far aloft This
is only what might be expected from
statistics relating to such phenomena
where they occur in greater earnest in
other parts of the globe.
1t is classical history how dust show
ers have arisen in the west coast of
Africa and descended again on vessels
far out on the Atlantic; how Scotland
has been visited by a storm Of pumice
debris which was supposed to have
had its origin in Vesuvius; how show
ers of fish or Of frogs have descended
from the sky, having been swept into
lofty regions entangled in the bosom
of a windWhirl sufficient to bear them

tao, committed to the lofty winds by

The cut shows handy, homemade

that are to be laid down to grass. 1t
is very important that grass fields be
as smooth as possible, to make ma
chine work in haying rs easy as pos

feet long, mounted on two shoes six
inches wide, to keep the plank from
cutting down into the soil with its thin
edge. A single horse should pull this
leveler without difficulty, but, of
course, one longer and heavier could
be constructed which would require a

Deadly Shells OF To-Day.

The ordinary shell which was man
ufactured thirty years ago only broke
into from twenty to twenty-five pieces
when it burst. At the present time it
bursts into 24O, while shrapnel shell,
which only used to scatter thirty -seven
missiles, now scatters $40. A present
day bomb, when charged with peroxy-
lene, breaks up into 1900 pieces, and
it is estimated that it would effectively
kill anyone standing within go yards
of the explosion.

The Age of a Horse.


To tell the age Of horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course;
The six front teeth the tale will tell
And every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle 'nippers" you behold
Before the colt is two years old,
Before eight weeks two more will come,
Eight months the corners cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From the middle two in just one year,
In two years form the second pair;
In three the corners cut are bare.
At two the middle "nippers" drop.
At three the second pair can't stop;
When four years old the third pair goes,
At FIVE full new set he shows.
The deep black spot will pass from view,
At six from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each corner" clears.
From middle "nippers" upper jaw
At nine the black spots will withdraw;
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light.
AS time goes on the horsemen know
The oval teeth three sided grow;
They longer get, project before,
Till twenty, when we know no more.

Marketing Apples.

II the warm weather has injured the
apples it will be of advantage to over
haul them. Examine each apple and
reject all that are not perfectly sound.
If it can be done conveniently, wrap
the apples in tissue paper, singly, and
place them on shelves. If the apples
are for market they should not be dis
turbed unless necessary, when they
may be assorted, the imperfect ones re-
jected and the sound ones repacked in
the barrels. They should then be sent
to market as soon as the weather per-
mits. It is a waste OF labor to send
apples to market that are in the least
degree injured.

Brief Hints.

To keep cider sweet put half poune
of mustard seed in cheesecloth bag
and put it in the barrel.
Lemons and tomatoes should not be
used daily in cold weather; they have
a thinning and cooling effect.
Cellars under kitchens and living
rooms are usually too warm for the
perfect keeping of vegetables.
Potatoes, beans and peas are heating
vegetables, consequently should be
eaten sparingly during hot weather.
Try wrapping baked potato in "a
napkin as soon as it is done and press
ing slightly until it bursts open and II.
will be sure to be mealy.
Oatmeal water favored with lemon
Juice, cold cocoa, chocolate cream or
cold bouillon is not only meat as wei
rs drink. but is even more cooling than
ices.
Decaying matter will vitiate the at
mosphere of the cellar and if allowed
to remain will spread through the

Prunes afford the highest nerve or

The Value of Rottcd Manure.

While during the winter is one of the
best times to haul out and apply ma
nure in the garden, care always should
be taken to have it thoroughly rotted
and fined before applying.
There are three reasons for this--one
is that il the manure is well rotted it
will be free from weed seeds that will
germinate. If it is thoroughly fined it
can. be readily and thoroughly incor-
porated with the soil; and, being rot
ted, it will be in more available con-
dition for the use of the growing plants,

To secare a Constant Egg Yield.

TO Secare Constant Egg Yield.
The hardest task in maintaining a
constant and continuous egg yield is
to keep the laying stock in prime con-
dition. This means such condition Of
perfect health that the eggs will not
only be laid regularly, but that they
will be Of uniform size, according to
the breed laying them. Under such
conditions we should have large eggs
from Minorcas, Leghorns, Plymouth
Rocks and Brahmas. When such breeds
lay small eggs, abnormally large eggs
with perhaps double yolks or soft
shelled eggs, the stock is out of condi-
ton and usually overfat. The eggs will
thus be laid irregularly, and many
times laying will stop entirely. Layers
should be kept active, and activity is
induced by short feeding. A hungry
hen is usually a good layer.
