TOOK A GIANT PHOTOGRAPH.
Used mt the Metropolitan
Museum.

An object that attracted consider
able attention at the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art, says the New York Sun,
was a camera about four feet wide
and five feet high that stood all day
in front of a painting in the Wolfe
gallery.
1t reqeired the united efforts Of
three men to focus the instrument
The operator said that the plates used
were the largest ever made, and that
If he should fail to give the proper ex-
posture, it would cost his firm SOS.
The time required to get good pho
tograph of the painting was three
hours and quarter. Three gallons
of developer and four of hyposulphite
of soda were used to fix the plate.
When asked why so long an expos
ure was necessary the operator said
that to get full detail and color value
a yellow screen of glass, coated with
gelatine, dyed with picric acid, was
fixed in front OF the lens. This screen
changed the picture that passed
through the objective to yellow color
and softened the high lights of the
painting to such an extent that the
dark shadows gave up their detail just
as rapidly as the bright places. The
plate was prepared with blue myrtle
chlorophyl in the emulsion, and this
decreased its regular sensitiveness at
least so per cent.
Only one painting was plr0tograp Pied
during the day.

STATE TO OWN UTILITIES.
Canadian Government Proposes to
Have Full Control of Telegraph
and Telephone Lines.

According TO authoritative an
nouncements, the government Of Cam
ada has decided to nationalize the tele-
graphs and the telephones of the do
minion, says the Chautauquan. The
business elements are said to be near
ly unanimous in support of this re-
form. The government counts on an
annual surplus Of some $1,000, 0O0 and
its income is increasing under the
usual prosperity Of the country. 1t
has. therefore, become possible TO
take the step contemplated for years,
but heretofore precluded by lack Of
available funds. The government al
ready operates some small telegraph
lines, and not un SucceSsfully. The
telephones, if taken over at the same
time as the telegraph, viii be placed
in the hands OF the respective munic-
qualities TO he managed by them. II
is hardly necessary 10 add that the
employees Of the companies are anX-
ious to become the servants Of the
state, knowing. 9 they do, that from
the government they would secure bet
ter terms and greater consideration.
Canada is only following the exam
PIE OF Great Britain in this respect.
The telegraph was nationalized in
England about 80 years ago, and while
there have been complaints of inefii-
cheney. red tape and lack Of progress
sive spirit on the part Of the post office
department, which controls IL, there is
no agitation in favor of a return to
operation by private companies.

PASTURE PENCE.

portable fence, but l invented one
myself some 20 years ago, which gives
moderate satisfaction.
The cut gives an idea of it. This
fence is self-supporting, without
posts, by driving IA stake at about
every third panel. The fence is made
in the shop in panels, the boards be-
ing nailed TO two hy four or two by
two pieces of hard wood, which are
beyeled at the top so as to give the
proper slope to the panels, which are
made to slope alternately toward
each other. The fence is supported
by three short boards nailed across
the uprights at the notch, and, of
course, when it is moved these must
be knocked off; but, even if they
should be spoiled so that they can
not be used again, it takes but lit
tie lumber to replace them. l have

PORTABLE FARM FENCE.
trntcd Has Been i'm Actual Use
for Many Years.

The best way to feed cattle when
on pasture is TO give one feed of corn
day, always feeding at the same
time, and l prefer that it should be
in the evening. 1t is best to give
them what they will eat clean only;
probably they will eat a peck each
per day, but l would begin with less
and gradually increase. To fully
utilize the corn, hogs should follow
the cattle always, and if any soiled
corn Is left in the box always throw
it out when feeding and give them
a lighter feed the next time. l have

Chicks need Lots OF space.

Houses and runs should be in proper
ton. 1t is seldom that the yards are
large enough for the houses. In cities
and villages it is no unusual sight to
see a goodsized house and a run no
larger than the house in the area COW
cred. The result is perfectly bare
and often dusty ground plot. The area
of the yard shouldlhe at least ten times
that of the house in which the bird S are
kept, and il the yard is still larger it
will not be of excessive size. In fact,
II is best TO have the area of the run
SO large that 1t will remain green
throughout the entire growing season.

Schemes in sheen Feeding.

The latest in sheep feeding is a
moving pen. Two or three sheep are
put in each pen, the pen being several
feet above the ground, or about on
a level with the top of the grass.
Then the pen is moved over the field
by electricity. The idea is TO pre-
vent the sheep from trampling down
the high grass. Wouldn't it be just
as cheap to have several hundred
sheep stand in a line on platform
and pull the whole field under the
platform? The sheep could nibble of
the ends of the grass as the field
slid under them. Just n sugges ton,
of course. Don't know how il could
be done.-Butchers' Advocate.

THE BURROWING OWL.
the Deserted burrows of Little
Prairie Dogs.

In many parts Of our western prai-
ries there are large colonies of the
burrowing owls, that usually occupy
the deserted burrows of the little
marmots called prairie dogs; but the
owls have been known in some cases
to nest in the burrows occupied by the
dogs. Great numbers of birds come
TO these deserted towns, and live for
years. They also often inhabit rab-
bit burrows or badger holes far from

Good Feeding Always wins.

The would-be successful poul.ryman

er we do not mean heavy feeder. but
correct feeder. No matter how good
the breed may be or how pure, II will

Now, perhaps someone will expect us
to follow thai remark with set Of
rulss for good feeding. But instead we
wish TO say that feeding is a scie nee
that has to be learned just like any 9TH
sr science. The inexperienced amateur
cannot even carry out rules laid down
by others, since their carrying out re.
quires judgment, and correct judg.
ment comes only with experience
