SLED FOR FODDER.

piece out of one end of each so as to
make a shoulder ON the scantling where
it rests against the underside of the
middle knee of the sled and a notch
where it rests on top of the rear knee.
Nail one or two boards on to the scant-
lings to hold them apart. A pin through
zach just in front of the rear sled knee
holds attachment in place, and it may
be tied with wire or a small rope to
hold it more securely. The scantlings
should not extend too far in the rear.
The back standards of the sled may be
three or four feet in height. The
amount of extra fodder that the sled
will hold is considerable. The tail rack
may be quickly removed when you
have finished using it.

The Good Little Aberdeen Angus, the
Small Farmers Favoritc.
Examining an Angus bull for the
first time, we Shall notice first his
black color. He is all black, the only
white allowed being little on the un-
derline behind the naval. Occasionally
red calves are dropped. We note an
entire absence of horns. Not even scurs
are allowed.
The form is very typical of the breed.
While the requirements of a first class
beef animal demand a rounded form
here we find this carried to an ex-
treme. and the barrel shape" is a
characteristic that the Angus claims
peculiar to itself Viewed from any di-
rection, this marked rotundity is
prominent. and one notices. too how
low set the animal is, his great style,
quality. compactness and symmetry.
In the feeder we find all the indica-
tions Of Il good beefmdking machine
and in the finished animal every re-
quiroment of market topper. We
see short legs and neat. fine bone and

The Water Clock.

The earliest application of the clepsy-
dra principle to produce motion was by
Tsiang Hung, A. d. 126, who made an
'orrery" representing the apparent mo-
tion of the heavenly bodies around the
earth, which was kept going by drop
ping water.
In the sixth century of the Christian
era an instrument was in use In China
which indicated the course of time by
the weight of water as it gradually
came from the beak of bird and was
received in a vessel on balance, every
pound representing a one-hundredth
part Of the day of twentyfour hours.
About this time mercury began to be
employed in clepsydras instead Of wa

VOTE FOR PRINCIPLE.

The operations of the Home Rule
and Democratic parties show that they
will open their three days campaign
in the Fourth District with Mr.. Dreier
their candidate, qualification or no
qualifications. There is little prospect
that MIR. Dreier can ever take a seat
in the House II he secures the major.
ity vote and a special session of the
Legislature is called.
Hence 1t appears that the opposition
parties will call on the voters to so to
the polls for the registration Of their
opinions on certain principles affect
ing the Administration. Their vote
will be something on the order Of a
straw vote. A majority for Mr.. Dreier
will not defeat Mr. Harris, but will be
solely expressive of public sentiment,
With this situation before AIS IL Is
mandatory that every possible Repub'
Iican ballot should be polled, Certain
sections OF the Republican party have
thus far remained Indifferent; they
considered the campaign useless they
have refused to contribute funds and
appear to be doubtful as TO the advisa.
