With the rapidly rising river and the
many reports abroad, it seemed that
CONSERVATION came all at once among
the manufactures of this city. A
break in the natural gas line closed al
most all the mills. and later the rising
water showed that the prospective
height of the water would compel them
to close down even If they had gas,

were kept busy, and upon advice from
experienced authorities all suspended
operations, and Immediately commenc-

Genuine Indian Corn.

Hon. G.. w. Dean, one of the
State lecturers of the Farmers In
stitutes of Illinois, exhibited re-
Gently an ear of corn which was
raised last year from seed recently
found in piece of pottery in an
Indian grave in Arkansas, and
which is supposed to be fully two
thousand years old. The corn
was raised by J. B. Turner, OF
Christian County Ill. The stalks
are IS feet in height and measure
10 feet from the ground to the
first ear. The roots are, many OF
them, above the ground, and the
brace roots strike the ground four
feet from the stalk, making it al
most impossible to be blown over
The kernels are small and deer
brown in color.

FOR THE FARMER.
Tanning Fur Hides.

Boys on the farm who go out
these Autumn days in search for
game should not forget the skins
of raccoons, minks, muskrats, rab-
bits, foxes, deer, cats, dogs, wood
chucks and skunks are all valuable.
Handsome robes may be made
from the skins of the last two ami
mails, and fur coats are made from
the skins of woodchucks, we'll tan
ned, dyed and trimmed, which are
elegant as we'll as comfortable, and
no one but connoisseur will be
able to guess their origin. Of the
finer and nicer furs, beautiful
collars, muffs, cuffs, capes, gloves
and trimmings may be made with
little ingenuity and perseverance;
and who would not feel great sat-
isfaction in wearing a nice article
from the fact that it was something
of his own manufacture, product
of his own taste and genius? Very
handsome floor mats are made by
tanning skins of large fur-bearing
animals, then dyeing them some
bright color, which is done with
very little trouble, the art of dye
ing is now so familiar to almost
every household. Furs may be
dyed as easily as wooded goods,
Notwithstanding the impression
that it is an art known only to the
trade. Any dye that will color
woolens will also dye furs. One
care must be taken not to have the
dye too hot, or the texture of the
skin will be injured.
A very good and simple tanning
process for use on the farm is tC
sprinkle the flesh side, after scrap.
ing it well, with equal parts Of
pulverized alum and salt, or wash.
ing it well with a strong solution
OF the same, then folding the flesh
side together and rolling it com
pactly, in which state it should re.
main for eight or ten days. Then
it is opened, sprinkle with bran OF
sawdust, to absorb the moisture

A Valuable Fertilizer.

How many who keep poultry
save and use the manure? Very
few, judging from ones l have
known, and yet it is very rich in
soil foods. 1t should be gathered
in barrels and boxes and stored in
a dry place until ready to scatter.
If kept dry very little of the value
will escape. A few days before
using it is we'll to pour water over
it until it is moistened, as it some
times stays in an insoluble state
for a long time if scattered entire
ly dry. The litter used in the
scratching shed is also of much
value, but it is especially fine to
use for mulch on the strawberry
or bulb bed, for instance Wis

Good Roads from Clay.

Five years ago a farmer in Oar
lington County, S. c., had occasion
to dig pit near the highway, and
wishing to get rid of the clay he
spread it on a sand-bed in the
road. He builded better than he
knew, and that was the beginning
of improved roads in the county.
The resultant Improvement in the
roadway was observed by the
supervisor, who treated half mile
of road with clay. That was the
first of good roads in South Caro-
lima, and it stands as firm today as
when it was laid. During the five
years that have elapsed, $50 miles

of the sos miles of road in Oar
lington County have been treated
with clay, and one may ride a
bicycle with ease over every mile
of it. Formerly only light loads
could with difficulty, especially
during the wet season, be carried;
now twice as much can with ease
be carried to market. When for
merly only two bales of cotton
were taken on a one-horse wagon
at best (the usual load being one
bale), now as many as four are
seen.

Scarcity Of Two-Year-OId Steers.

nearly every hoof of the cattle of
commerce was sent to market, leav-

North this Spring by the thous-

years before they are large enough
to go into the feed lots. Just now
the man who has a herd of long

grass for the Fall market, for the
corn belt man to take hold of for
Winter feeding. A calculation was
made the other day between a
couple of Denver stockmen on the
number of cattle in one of the best
range sections in Colorado that

were available as feeders-2-year-
old steers. The total number in
that section was brought to 10000
head, and there were not more
than 200 rs in the entire lot. This
is a condition all over the West
everything available was cleaned
out last Fall, the stock that was
left is not as yet sufficiently ma
tured; does the feeder-buyer ex-
pect to buy for less than he does
now, even when Fall shipments
set in? We rather think not. 1t
would be better if he took all he
can now, get them on the cheaper

possible.-Denver .Stockman.

MAKING Cheese for Home Use.

Now that rennet tablets can be
procured, the directions will help
you to know how much rennet to
use:
Warm the milk to 80 degrees,
use both night and mornings milk,
stir a few minutes to keep the
cream from rising. Any clean
kettle or boiler will do to heat the
milk in, any clean tub will do to
set your milk.
Buy a curd knife to cut the
coagulated milk; cut across one
way, then across the other.
Get a square of coarse linen
strainer cloth larger than your
tub, wet it and spread over when
the whey comes to the top, and
with a shallow pan dip off the
whey and put it in your kettle to
warm; do not let it get very warm.
When you have your curd cut
into little squares, begin dipping
the warm whey on, stirring gently,
and put some more, warming.
How are you to get the curd in
to little squares? Use your in
genuity, only be careful. Cut
across with your knife horizontal
ly in one hand, and turn over with
the other hand and arm. All the
secret is to handle the curd care
fully and warm gradually up to
100 degrees, no warmer. And if
possible visit some cheese factory
and see for yourself the degree of
acidity allowed the whey-so
much depends on that to insure
good favored cheese. Do not let
it sour-just turn little.
If you use a round tub it will be
much easier for you to spread
your strainer over sink with a
rack made of Stats under the
strainer, and dip curd and whey
together into the sink, stirring the
curd to keep it from forming into
Jumps; then stir in the salt after
the whey has run off Wet your
muslin cloth, spread over the hoop,
and turn up the corners over the
curd After pressing until it is
solid-it may be an hour or two,
or six hours, according to the
power of your press-take out and
draw down over your cheese a
bandage made just large enough
to be drawn over, lay over a cloth
a few inches larger than the top
of the cheese; turn the cheese over,
place your hoop over and turn
down the edges of your bandage,
and then spread over the cheese a
SIN aller cloth; place the follower
on and press until next day.
If you want your cheese to look
yellow, buy some liquid annatto
and put in small quantity when
you put in the rennet; be careful
not to use too much until you
learn how much you want. The
cheese will look darker than your
curd does.
If your curd bakes together in
the sink it is too warm, or the
whey has not acquired the proper
degree of acidity, or it is sour. If
your cheese is hard and crumbly,
it is either too salt or sour.

Uses of Platinum.

FROM engineering
The uses to which platinum is put are
very multifarious 1t Is employed today in
the electric incandescent lamp as a fine
wire for conveying the electric current
through the glass walls of the bulb to the
light giving carbon filament within; in tel
egraph, telephone and other electric ap-
paratus for non-corrodng contact points;
in warfare in the form of fine wires for ex-
ploding torpedoes and submarine mines; in
promoters for the measurement of the
temperature of blast furnaces and for de-
termining the fusing point of other metals;
in the X-ray tube as leading-in wires and
as a source of excitation Of the X-rays, and
in photography in the production Of platin-
otypes, noted for the artistic effects pro-
duced and the permanency of prints at

applications of this metal and it's Salts
but enough are enumerated to illustrate
it's wide and varied applications. 1t is

output has increased steadily, and has just

production goes to the United Kfngdom
