Eight-Hour Days on the Farm.

DhyS Oh t1C It
The use of machinery on the farm is
very nearly reducing the hours of labor
to eight hours a day. Very few ask
hired help to work over ten hours now,
and when at work with horses and
machinery eight hours Of labor is as
much as ought to be expected Of the
team, and the teamster expects to do
but little more excepting to give the
team the care it should have, and to
keep the machine In order. Even this
last is sometimes delegated to some
other person, IL there are knives to
sharpen, as on the moving machine
and reaper, for not every good team
ster is handy at the grindstone and
some have but little mechanical in
genuity, so that though they may learn
to run a machine while 1t is In good
order, they can not put it in order If
anything goes wrong.

stock-Raising Farmer Successful.

Stock-Raising Farmer Successful.
Corn, oats and wheat are the main
crops grown In Illinois. Corn Is grown
one year perhaps in field, and oats
are put In the next year. Some fields
are devoted almost exclusively to corn.
Now this rotation of two crops may do
very we'll, but clover should be sown
with the oats In the spring II the soil
is thin. livery farmer should be a
stock raiser, and one or more of his
fields should be for grazing purposes
For such farmer 1t will be an easy
matter to prevent land exhaustion by
continued growing of one crop on the
same ground. Not only can he change
the grain crops, but he can change his
land under cultivation to pasturage,
and the reverse. equally as we'll The
soil. when this is done, is never injured.
which 1t is when used for the exclusive
growth of one crop. The land is being
constantly enriched, especially by the
addition of the refuse of the fodder
which is fed, and of the stock. The
stock raising farmer has every advan-
tage to raise big crops.

Charcoal.

One of the little things which are not
absolutely essential. but which the
keeper of flock of hens will be well
paid for preparing, Is charcoal The
hens will not consume great quantity
of 1t, but they seem to need a certain
amount of it, and the good effects Of 1t
are admitted by ALL
Charcoal is not usually kept for sale
in the villages, and the majority of
poultry-keepers are put to the necessity
of sending away for 1t or Of manufac-
turing 1t. An article which will fully
answer the purpose can be made from
corncobs, and this Is the material
which generally is made use Of In the
West.

where they will burn freely. Let them
burn until they are charred through,
but before they are reduced to ashes
smother the fame with oats. Use no
water for putting out the blaze. The
half -burned oats will not be wasted,
as the hens will eat 1t with as much
relish as that which has not been
touched by the fire. Crush the charcoal
and constantly keep up a small box OF
1t in the poultry house.-Farmer's

A Beautiful Craft Built on the Lines
of the Columbia.

BRISTOL. r. l., Jan. 25.-August Bel
monts new seventy footeT, that has just
been launched at the Herreshof yards,
I carries forty tons OF lead in her keel. and
will have great sail-carrylng power with
| this outside ballast in addition TO her
twenty feet Of beam. With her lead mine
she will draw fifteen feet of water, and
as she is 1O5 feet long over all and will
carry large sail plan, she will be an i'm
posing craft. The Mineola, as she is called,
after Mr. Belmont's previous cutter, will
be of the same general construction as the
Cup defender Columbia. only with slightly
more beam in proportion to the water line
length. the Columbia having three and
one-third beams and the Mineola havin &
three and one half beams TO the water line
length.
She will therefore. in proportion be a
more powerful sailcarrier- that the craft
that beat the Shamrock, though this does
not necessarily mean she will be proper
tionately faster, and the general opinion
seems to be that the Columbia went to the
full limit in the matter of beam, and that
the Shamrock exceeded it. The spars for
this vessel, as we'll as for the other three
vessels of the same size now to be con-
structed, will be made at the yards of the
Boston Spar Company.
The four yachts. whose intended owners
are w. X. Vanderbilt, jr., Harry Payne
Whitney E. D. Morgan, and Mr.. Belmont,
will be stronger than the Columbia. as
they are to take the same sized steel
frames over all lengths something like
twenty-seven feet shorter, and when they
have received the same internal support

shows, they will be in a condition to
tackle any kind of a sea.
