The Blessings Of cYcle.Paths.

With the construction Of cycle-paths
now in contemplation, touring on an
extensive scale. which is now imprac-
ticable in many parts of the United
States, will not only become possible,
but pleasurable.
Nor can the proposed development
in this respect fail of giving wonder
full impetus to the sport of wheeling,
as well as lead to more general use
of the bicycle in recreative life.
It is occasion for native chagrin to
compare the touring facilities of the
United States with those of European
countries One excuse, that we can
not afford the expensive roads OF those
countries, no longer exists. The cycle
path is not expensive. We can al
ford it, and we cannot afford to do
without it.
Besides providing healthful, pleas.
urable means of recreation for our.
selves, it will tend to keep numbers OF
tourists and money at home, and on
GOT the stream of both which con-
tinually flows from the United States
m Europe. The trunk-line system of
side-paths for bicycles will make 1t
possible for United States citizens OF
moderate means to see and know
something of their own country be-
sides what they read in books. Not
the least of it's blessings will be a
checking of that neurotic condition
prevalent among Americans, which a
ron rhvsician calls AmericanltiS.

Lighter Horses Better.

Farmers who have watched the ease
with which the large draft horses han
die heavy loads on good roads or city
pavements have been led to think that
heavy horse must be the better ami
NAL in all cases, and we see many
farm teams that are far inferior in the
amount of work they can do in plsw-
ing or in drawing load upon soft
ground than a much lighter team would
do easily. Then the heavy horses are
driven over our billy roads often at
rate of speed that causes them to pound
the earth so that the legs give out, and
they are quickly lame. 1t certainly re-
quires more food to sustain a 1000
pound horses than one weighing from
1000 to 1000 pounds, and when not
constantly employed drawing heavy
loads the amount of work done by the
heavy horses does not compensate for
the extra cost of maintaining them. AS
farmers win have next spring to buy
horses or many will we advise them to
turn their attention to the smaller
horses from Canada If they can be
found rather than to the Percherons
and Shire horses that have been so pop
ular lately. They will cost less prices,
cost less to keep, do about as much
work and endure much longer.-Ameri-
can CultiyatOr.

How Much win Corn Shrink?

bow -ssuCU VIII SOTH
In the fall of 1893 an experiment was
undertaken by Prof. Atkinson at the
Iowa experiment station to ascertain
the amount of moisture contained in
ear corn. A crib was constructed upon
the platform of a pair of scales, the
scales so constructed that an exact
register of the weight could always b,
made. Seven thousand pounds of corn
We're husked and placed in the crib Oct.
10, 1898. The crib was 1872 feet long
by ~ feet wide. The corn was then
weighed once each week for a year.
During the first three months the loss
was $50 pounds, or 8 per cent of the
original weight. During the next three
months, from Jan. 10 to April 19, the
loss was 800 pounds, or 5 per cent Of
the original weight. During the next
three months the loss was 22O pounds;
during the last three months the loss
was 100 pounds. The loss during the
full year was 1,43O pounds. or trifie
more than 20 per cent. This means
that bushel of corn weighing eighty
pounds when husked like this sample
will weigh sixtyfour pounds at the
end of the year.
