Consumption Can Be Cured.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons af.
fected with any chest complaint.
The recommendations is made because
in all cases of lung trouble it is impor-
tant for the sufferer to indulge in exer-
else by which the chest is in part filled
by and emptied of air, for the exercise
is strengthening to the throat, lungs
and muscles of the chest. Reading
aloud can be practiced by all, and can
be pleasure and profit to both reader
and hearers. In this treatment it is
recommended that the reading be delib-
crate, without being allowed to drag,
that the enunciation be clear, the body
be held in an easy, unStrained, upright
position, so that the chest shall have
free play, and that the breathing be as
deep as possible, without undue effort.

a Dilemma.

Sir Lionel Stuyvesant Peter Won Toots
Had one hundred and ten pairs of beau
tiful boots;
Bluchers and Wellingtons, Hessians and
Jacks,
Round toes and pointed toes, russets and
blacks,
High-lows and buskins, of each a full
store.
Top-boots and sandals and CATERS ga
lore,
Balmorals and Congress, strapped, but
toned, and laced;
With the finest of silk they were tasseled
and faced:
Bathing, golf, tennis and bicycle shoes,
Worsted-worked slippers of marvellous
hues,
Dancing pumps, too, of bright patent
leather
In short, he had footgear for all sorts of
weather,
For all sorts of places and all sorts of
times,
For all sorts of ventures in all sorts of
climes.
Yet Sir Lionel Stuyvesant Peter Won

Was that kind of a person whom nothing
quite suits;
And all day he would sit in his large
easy chair,
Uncertain which ones 'twould be proper

POWER OF A PINT OF WATER.

Under Certain Conditions 1t Will Burst
the Strongest Cask.
A single pint of water will burst a
strongly built iron-hooped oaken cask
as quickly as though dozen pounds of
gunpowtler were exploded within it. 1t
is well-known law of physics that the
pressure exerted by liquids increasing
in proportion to their depth. Suppose,
therefore, that we have a strong cask
filled with water and standing on end.
The slaves of this cask may be made
to burst apart by adding a very small
quantity of water to what is already
in the cask.
AS the cask is already full some way
of adding the water must be devised.
To do this a hole is bored in the end
or head of the cask and long tube of
small diameter is inserted upright. At
the upper end of the tube is a small
funnel, into which water is poured until
the tube becomes full, and when that
point is reached the cask will burst.
This seems almost incredible, but it
is only demonstration of the law that
has been cited. When the water is
poured into the tube it unites with the
water in the cask and the depth of the
water is several times as great as it
was in the cask alone. The fact that
there is only a small quantity of water
in the tube makes no difference, for it
is now all one body, and it's depth is
gauged from the top of the tube to the
bottom of the caSk.
AS matter of fact, this experiment
is only an artificial reproduction of
what we know takes place in nature.
Some of her greatest convulsions are
caused by this very process. Suppose,
for example, that there is a great mass
of rock, under which there is cavity
filed with water that has no outlet.
Suppose, moreover, that there is crack
extending from the surface Of the
ground through this mass of rock to the
water-flled cavity underneath.
A rock in this condition is a common
thing in nature, the crack being caused
by some disturbance of the earth, or
by its splitting in the natural order of
things. Now when it rains enough to
fill that crack, thus increasing the depth
of water in the cavity, the pressure will
become so great that the rock will be
torn into 100 fragments.

Feeding Sugar Beets.

In sections where sugar beets can be
grown at comparatively small expense
they should form one of the crops for
stock feed even If not grown for fac
tory use. In many localities sugar beets
will form a fair part of the ration this
winter when grain is scarce and high
in price. Some complaints have been
made about the sugar beets, but, in
most cases, this is due to using them
too freely. No green food or root crop
should be used at the expense of grain
or roughage, except in part, although
they may be more freely used than they
are, especially sugar beets. They are
especially desirable in the early spring
for sows that have farrowed, and for
new milch cows, greatly increasing the
milk flow. All farm stock Is fond Of
sugar beets, and if they are on the farm
or can be bought at fair price they
should form part of the ration as long
as they may be had or until the stock
Is turned out in the spring.

An Economical Ration.

Where there is a fair stock Of clover
hay on hand, and an abundance of
corn stover, cows may be fed very
economically on a ration Of ten pounds
of clover hay, fifteen pounds of corn
stover, cut or shredded-if the latter,
the clover ration may be reduced one
quarter-four pounds of wheat bran,
four pounds of corn meal and one
pound of oil meal a day. This is not a
heavy ration, and probably would not
do for large animal, or one whose
milk flow was heavy, but it will an

Old PRINCIPLES In Farming

l.
While it is undoubtedly true that
farmers have learned much about farm
ing during late years that has material
ly helped them in making the farm pay
better returns, it is also true, in many
cases, that they are getting away from
some Of the fundamental principles of
correct farming. The tendency to sell
as much as possible from the farm Is
too strong and too far-rea ching. Time
was when sales from the farm were
made only after provision had been
made for the living and comfort of the
occupants, human and animal. Then,
too, the soil was considered, and If it
needed anything produced on the farm
it was furnished. These things well
provided for, the surplus, if any, was
sold. AS a result the stock was well
fed and the manure went to improve
the SOIL True, there was not so much
ready cash handled as now, but there
were fewer things for which cash was
needed, for everything needed that
could be produced on the farm was so
produced. 1t Is admitted that in this
age, when things are deemed necessi-
ties that were formerly thought luxu-
ries, more ready cash is needed, but, at
least, we can so arrange things in farm
ing that the cash is not obtained at the
expense of the animals or the vitality
of the farm:

Treatment of Old Orchards.

Many an old and apparently worth
less orchard might be made of value by
encouraging the growth of the young
shoots. One orchard of the kind de-
scribed was supposed to be too old to
be worth anything. The large branches
were cut back freely and where a
young shoot with much vigor was
found the cut was made so that this
shoot was not injured nor the flow
of sap in the main branch retarded.
Grating was done in some of the small
er branches and the trees bore several
good crops Of fruit; more than enough
to pay for the work and the after care
of the soil. True, it was taking a
chance, but the labor was not great
and, the trees were valueless- unless
treated in some such manner.

top of one leg, just under the seat, and
wind round and round it tightly and
smoothly. On arriving at the end, turn
back and wind over again to the top.
Now carry the wool over to the opposite
leg and proceed in the same manner un-
til all four are completely covered.
Next, wind the wool over and under
the seat diagonally between the oppo-
site corners, then wind it across from
side to side, then from back to front.

This makes a well padded seat, the
same on top and underneath. To pad
the back, the wool is woven in and out
over the nails, back and forth, until the
whole is we'll covered when the end is
secured and cut neatly off. The result
is all that can be desired, neat, strong
and pretty. Care must be exercised in
driving the nails into the spool ends. If
too hard or too thick they may split the

Facts About the Silo.


Silage is as valuable in summer as In
winter.
Thirty pounds day is enough silage
for an average sized Jersey COW. Larger
cattle will eat more
A cubic foot of silage from the middle
of a medium sized silo will average
about forty-five pounds.
Fifteen feet in diameter and thirty
feet is good depth. Such a silo would
hold about 200 tons of silage cut in half
inch lengths.
Silage comes nearer being a perfect
substitute for the succulent food of the
pasture than any other food that can
be had in winter.
Corn just passing out of roasting ear
stage is the best single material for ST.
lage. Corn and cowpeas are the best
combined material.
A larger amount of healthful food for
cattle can be preserved in the silo in
better condition, at less expense of la
Dor and land, than by any other method
known.
The circular silo, made of good, hard
wood slaves, is the cheapest and best.
For 1872 days, or half a year, an aver
age Jersey COW will require about six
tons of silage, allowing for unavoida-
BILE waste.

Using Abandoned Pastures.

In many sections of the country, but
perhaps more largely in the East, one
will find on the farms fields which had
been used for pasture until they were
no longer profitable for that purpose
and not thought worth breaking up and
re-seeding. Eight out Of every ten of
such pastures could be turned into fer
tile fields by proper handling. One ex-
cellent plan for doing this is to break
up this pasture. manuring it as heavily
as one can afford, and plant to corn.
Cultivate the corn several times during
the growing period and SOW, in August
or September, to some cover crop. The
following spring plant to potatoes. Flu
ture crops should be according to fer
tilizing and what one wishes to grow.
The main point in this item is to call
attention to the value of these aban-
doned pastures for the first crop of
corn. Eniugh corn may be grown to
carry a herd of pigs to a profitable
market and at an expense that will
hardly be felt.-Exchange
