DRESSING SHEEPSKINS.
Not n very Intricate Operation If Exc
ecuted According to the Direc-
tions Given Herewith.

To tan sheep hides with the wool on
and to dye wool on the same, spread
skin, flesh side up, when taken off.
Sprinkle pulverized alum over it, fol-
lowed by little saltpeter and plenty
of common salt. Roll up and put where
it will not freeze. Two ounces each of
alum and salt will tan a sheep or other
similar sized skin. When the skin is
tanned the flesh on it will rub off easily.
Then nail the skin to boards in the
sun, stretching it tight, and apply lit
tie neatsfOot oil, which should after
ward be worked out with a wedge
shaped piece of wood. The skin is then
wet until soft and then worked until
dry. If it is not worked and rubbed it
will dry harsh and stiff. For sheep and
lamb skins strong suds is usually first
made with hot water. in which the
skins are washed carefully, squeezing
them between the hands to get the dirt
out of the wool. The skin is then
washed in clear water. and alum and
salt, half a pound each are dissolved
in little hot water, which is put into
enough cold water in tub o cover two
skins. Let soak over night and then
hang on pole to drain. When well
drained, spread, stretch and tack them
to a board, flesh side up. While yet
little damp put on the pulverized salt
peter and alum, rub it in well, then lay
the flesh sides of two skins together
and hang them in the shade two or
three days, turning the under skin up
permost every day until perfectly dry.
Then scrape the flesh side with dull
knife to remove the remaining scraps
of flesh and rub the flesh side with
pumice stone and afterward with the
hands, until soft and pliable. For dye
ing buy the analne dyes, of the colors
wanted, and get directions with them.

WIDE-AWAKE FARM BOY.
Evidently This YounEster Is Deter
mined to Make Agriculture
Profitable Occupation.

This article is for the boys; those
live, up-to-date lads that like the
farm and it's stock. The boy that it
l know that you will be interested
in hearing about him. Last fall the
writer attended the Chagrin Falls
fair, and on the road from that fair
we passed a boy driving a pair of
calves hitched to a wagon. He was
sitting on the spring seat, whip in
hand, as dignified as any grown man.
The calves were we'll broken, and
they responded perfectly to a word
and a light tap of the whip which
he carried in his hand. We noticed
that he never beat them or yelled at
them, as some grown persons do
when they drive oxen.
We thought: 'Now, here is a nice
picture" so it was arranged that
Harry Stebbins (for this is the boys
name) should bring his calves and
wagon over to Mr.. John Gould's the
next day and have their photograph
taken. The next forenoon Harry was
on hand with his outfit, and Mr..
Gould borrowed neighbours children
to help fill the wagon, for that is
the only way John has any children
of his own. The sun was just right
on the south side of the windmill,
derrick and large maple in the yard.
Sitting there in the morning sunlight,
Harry looked as pleased as a sure
enough" farmer. Snap went the
camera, and the picture was taken as
quick as a flash, and you can see all
just as they looked.
You will think it must have taken
Harry lots of time to break these

SCIENCE IN WARFARE.
Naval Fight of the Future a Contest
between Flying Machine and
Submarine Boat.

Navies are soon to disappear, ac-
cording to critic who has been
watching recent mechanical depelop-
ment. He knows that nothing is
more likely to become obsolete than
an existing naval institution, the
moment something better is discov-
cred, and he points to the rapid ex-
tinction of wooden warships pro-
PEELED by sails when the Merrimac-
Monitor fight demonstrated that with
such vessels the greatest squadrons
under the ablest commanders were at
the mercy of little iron monitc-.
Mans command of the air through
aeroplanes and flying machines, and
his utilization of a water-blanket to
protect submarine boats, will, says
this critic, render ships that float
on the surface worthless. The float
ing warship, he says, will be subject

rest relatively to each other, the hills
of the upper surface will fit closely into
the hollows of the lower one. But if
the surfaces are in rapid motion past
each other, the upper surface viii not
have time to fit itself into the lower,
but would take a position like that
shown in the figure. Then any point
at o of the upper surface would first be
dragged up to the verteX A, and would
then fly across the space A c, till it
struck some point o on B C. AS the
speed was greater, the distance
through which o would fall in the pass
age would be less; consequently the
distance o c would be less, and the
work Of dragging o up to the vertex
G would be less also. Hence it might be
seen how the actual work done per
foot-run of service. or, in other words,
the apparent coefficient would be less
as the speed was greater"

INSECTS FOR FOOD.
Men of Science Proclaim COckronches
and Locusts Rare Dainties, If
Properly Prepared.

A French entomologist, NJ. Dagin,
recommends insects as an article of
food. He speaks with authority, hav-
ing not only read through the whole
literature of insect eating, but having
himself tasted several hundreds of
species raw, boiled, fried, broiled,
roasted and hashed. He has even eat
en- spiders prepared according to the
following recipe: Take plump spi-
der, remove the legs and skin. Rub
over with butter and swallow. How
ever, he does not recommend them,
but this may be prejudice on his part.
He states two objections to spiders.
They are not insects, and they feed on
animal food.
Cockroaches are a foundation for
delicious soup. NJ. Dagin follows the
recipe given by Senator Testelin in
speech delivered in the senate on Feb
ruary -, 1878: Pound your cock
reaches in a mortar; put in a sieve, and
pour in boiling water or beef stock"
Connoisseurs prefer this to real bisque.
M. Wilfrid de Fonvielle, the French sci
enlist, prefers the cockroaches in the
larval state. The perfect insect may
be shelled and eaten like a shrimp;
that way DR.. CASTER, member of the
national assembly of 1S4S, used to eat
them.
Caterpillars are light food of easy
digestion. Not only African and
American native races but Frenchmen
appreciate them. NJ. de Lalande, as
tronomer, had dinner every Saturday
with the zoologist, Quatremere d1sjon-
vale. Nine. dlsjonvalle, who knew his
tastes, collected in the afternoon all
the caterpillars she could find in her
garden and served them on plate to
her guest. The most popular insect
food is the locust. 1t is eaten fried,
dried in the sun, ground in -four, broiled
(among the Beduin), boiled in milk Ga
Morocco recipe), or fried and served
with rice as in Madagascar. The jesuit
Father Cambou thinks that locust flour
might become popular in Europe as a
condiment. Travellers opinions on To-
Gusts differ. Amicis finds they taste
like shrimps, Niebuhr like sardines,
Livingston like caviare.

Liuuid Air for HInstinp

In the new Simplon tunnel expert
ments have been made with liquid air
for blasting purposes. The cartridges
consisted of wrappers filled with par
affin and charcoal soaked with liquid
air. When placed in the shot holes
they were detonated with guncotton
primers. The use of these cartridges
was discontinued because they had to
be fired within few minutes after be-
ing taken out of the liquid, else their
power was gone. But the problem of
adapting liquid air to blasting is still
being studied in Germany.

FLY BRUSH FOR CATTLE.
ables stock to Wage War
Against Insect Enemies

In the summer it is just as necessary
TO provide cattle with place in the
pasture field where they may brush off
the flies as it is to furnish shade, food
or drink. The device in the illustra-
tion shows a good arrangement for
this purpose. 1t consists first of four
posts set in the form of rectangle IL
feet long and eight feet wide. At one
end the posts are about 5R feet high,
at the other only three feet. Across
each end of the rectangle an eight-inch
board is nailed at the top of the posts.
In the upper edge of these boards are
cut notches about four inches deep and
2h inches wide. Beginning next t o the
posts these notches are cut at inter-
walls of Is or 20 inches.
Now take boards four inches wide,
13 feet long and not heavier than one

SHEEP ON THE FARM.
They Are of InestimabIe Value Be-
cause of Their Fondness for
Young Sprouts and Weeds

The sheep is among the most USE
full and valuable of domestic animals,
being producer of wool used for
clothing and other purposes, and of
wholesome meat. But the sheep also
is of large value on the farm because
of his fondness for young sprouts and
weeds.
According to an authority there are
nearly COO varieties of known weeds,
of which sheep will eat SIS kinds, while
horses, cattle and hogs will eat but a
few varieties. 1t is apparent that
every farmer could well afford to raise
a few sheep if for no purpose other
than the destruction of weeds.
Weeds increase in numbers and va
rieties as the country grows older.
They are found most abundantly in
the old countries of Europe. Their
steady increase in this country de-
mands that farmers should raise sheep
as among other means looking to
their determination.
By all means get two or three ewes
already bred and give them the run
of that foul pasture. Increase the
flock by breeding and purchase if adj
visable, until the number is sufficient
to keep down the weeds on a given
area.
No farm is properly equipped with
out sheep.-Farmers' Voice.

Our Sturdy Country Boys,

There is no question of the influence
which the sturdy outdoor life has upon
country boys; and the fact that the life
is harnessed to regular, imperative du-
ties is to the boys advantage. He is
developed gradually and healthily, his
mind following his physical strength
rather than the reverse. And around
him, for his everyday observation and
study, are the very best object lessons
possible for a boys developing life.
He associates familiarly with nature
during his work and recreation; and
even during his sleep, the air which en-
ters his open chamber window is laden
with the odors of apple blossoms, or
the harvest season, or, perhaps, is the
pure, stimulating atmosphere of the
white, undulating winter fields. But it
all goes toward making him stronger,
sturdier, more self-reliant, more am
bilious, more observing. He is healthy
all through, physically, mentally, NOR
ally.-Farm Journal.

inch thick. Arrange these in pairs, as
many pairs as there are notches in
each end board, and bore holes through
them at intervals of one foot, prepara-
tory to boiling them together. Brush
which has been collected from the
thicket is now placed between these
boards and clamped fast. For the sake
of clearness only one of these brush
is shown in the illustration. The
clamps thus formed are now placed in
the notches prepared for them in the
end boards, with the brush hanging
down. They are held down by mar
row board nailed across the tops of the
posts at each end.
The device is now complete. The
difference in height at the two ends
makes it suitable for cattle of all sizes.
The brush will last for long time, but
should they become much worn, or old
and brash, they may be easily replaced.

FRICTION AND SPEED.
A Clear Explanation of Law That
Has Seemed More or Less of
Mystery to Everybody.

The following explanation of why
friction is less at high than at low
speeds is due to Capt. Galton, who gave
ii in connection with the Galton-West-
inghouse brake trials in England. Rail
way and Locomotive Engineering, in
a discussion of the subject, calls it the
clearest explanation yet given. Says
the writer:
'It should be borne in mind that any
two surfaces which are placed in con-
tact are not perfectly smooth surfaces,
but have small inequalities or rough
ness upon them. The figure shows in
a very exaggerated form what two sur
faces in contact may be supposed to

to the writer, "how little thought the
people give to their food in relation
to various seasons of the year. To
this very carelessness lay much sum-
mer sickness, often an illness that

treat every housekeeper not to buy

beef, lamb and veal for the cooler
days of summer, and in long hot

ture provides for these burning DAYS
with vegetables and fruit, tender
chicken and fine, firm, whitefieshed
fish. If you have leftover foods to
be utilized, convert them into chilled,
appetiZing salads instead of ragouts.
If soups are a necessity, let them be
thin consomme or chicken soup, not
purees or bisques. | would prohibit
pie and rich cake, and let fruit, ices,
delicate iellies or milk puddings take
their place. I'd a.so put a veto on

oAbefore stopping in any of the
forests of the state, and wardens
are instructed to enforce this. Be
low is the act:
mo persons, party or parties
shall be allowed to camp, either for
business or pleasure, in any forest
district of this state outside of the
county in which they legally reside,
without first taking out permit so
to do. Such permit shall bear
such part of this act as relates to
fires and their care, and shall be
issued by the clerk of any county
court within the state upon the
payment of fifty cents as fee.
Permits must at all times be pro-
duced and shown to any game or
forest warden, landappraiser, con-
stable, sheriff or other officials
empowered by law to demand the
same, and such permit may be
taken up by such warden, land ap-
praiser, constable, sheriff or other
official empowered by law to de-
mand the same, and such permit
may be taken up by such warden,

GREEDY JEALOUSY.

1t is really amusing to note the
extravagant statements resulting
from jealous greed that has been
foiled. Was the irresponsible freak
who plays parrot for the sponsors
for the Citizen, and who contributed
~ munificent sum of so cents
(the smallest amount on the hst)
to the celebration fund, afraid lest
it was misappropriated by Messrs.
W. l.. Patchen, Morris Click and
G. L. Ross, the gentlemen who
purchased the candy and fireworks :?
The disreputable and maligning
remarks of the Citizen were equal
ly applicable to each. As far as
Ross is personally concerned, he
desires no better recommendation
for probity or assurance of being
right than abuse from the Citizen
and those who dictate its policy.
This paper and its editor have
come out first best in every con-
tention with them, and their fear
of us is as great as their malice.
We will continue to give them
something from time to time to
occasion an explosion of their
Jealous wrath.
