.yapan's International Exhibition.

Japan is to have a great internation-
al exhibition next year, and every in
ducement will be given to manufac-
turers all over the world to contribute
to it. Osaka, which is at once the
Manchester and the Venice of Japan,
is the cnosen place, and as, next to
Tokyo. it is the most populous city in
the empire, a better selection could
not have been made. The first IN
dustrial exposition was held in Tokyo
in 1877, the same year that saw the
abolition of the wearing of swords by
the Sumurai. That was purely nation
al. and since then several exhibitions
have been held at the capital. Osaka
is so crowded by houses and intersect-
eu by canals that there might be a
difficulty in finding space for an eXhi-
bition ground were 1t not for the fact
that most of the buildings are of so
flimsy a description that they can be
cleared away and built again at a
very small expense Of labor and

Had No Objection to 1t.

An old family servant, who had lived
all her life in and around Philadelphia,
was taken one summer not long ago
to a seaside resort. Her mistress was
anxious to learn how the beach and
the ocean, seen for the first time, would
strike the old woman. Accordingly, an
hour or so after they reached the re
sort her mistress sent her to the beach
with the children.
When they returned the mistress was
eagerly awaiting them.
well, Katie" said she, what did
you think of the ocean?"
Il dunno as I've got any partic laI
objection to it." was the reply.

Pure BREEDS Most Profitable.

We continually meet people who tell
us that the crosses are far superior to
the purebred cattle for dairy purposes.
Against that we have the fact that all
the great records ever made have been
from purebred cattle, carefully bred
for many generations. Thus we have
three purebred COWS belonging to the
Duke of Westminster that gave 1,1O6
gallons, LILO gallons and ! ,44S gallons,
respectively, in twelve months; this
last one being at the rate of almost
sixteen quarts a day the whole year
through. All dairymen will know as
a fact, as we'll as all breeders of any
kind of stock that If you breed from
crossbreds you can never tell what the
result will be. 1t may take after its
sire, dam, great-grandsire or even fur
Their.
We are not by any means advising
dairymen to go to the expense of pur-
chasing a purebred herd right off, but
what we would strive to impress upon
each and all is to use only purebred
bulls in their herds. See that the bull
is from a good milking strain, even
if you have to give a seemingly big
price for him. His cost will be moth
ing compared to the herd when the
heiferS begin to come in. The only
sure way to get together a really good
herd is to breed it. You will have to
buy the best you can to start with;
then pick out your COWS according to
how they turn out, and have the heifer
calves from the best, making sure that
the bull is from a milking strain and
purebred. By doing this, in a few
years you can get together a really
good herd, and, by judicious culling,
every year it will be improving and
the average yield gradually rising. The
best investment that can be made for
dairy farm is a good bull. Even
with poor cows to start with, no man
need despair of getting fair herd to-
gether if he can only obtain a milking
strain on the sire's side. 1t is then
only a matter of time and careful Sc
lection.-West Australian Settlers

Fertillty OF Eggs.


From Farmers Review: Hatch
ing season is either now with. or soon
will be with, poultry raisers, the time
depending upon surroundings; and the
fertility of eggs is the needful thing;
the way to secure fertile eggs is way
all wish to know. Some say a good
per cent of fertile eggs is not to be
had If the fowls are confined to linn
tied range, but we have had and have
known others to have 95 per cent
of fertile eggs from yarded fowls. Last
year ours had limited (very) range
the yard in which six pullets, two hens
and one cockerel were confined being
about two rods square, and In this
enclosure the roosting room ana
scratch shed were placed.
You may say, the per cent of fertile
eggs was good, but perhaps the whole
number of eggs was small. NO, the
average from the eight hens from the
18th of February to the last of May
was 61a eggs per day; higher aver
age than we were able to get from the
outside hens. The average would
doubtless have been higher if we could
have secured fresh meat at all times
for them. We fed a mash of wheat
bran, mixed stiff with kitchen scraps
and salty dishwater of morning;
about quart of mash; at noon wheat
or oats was scattered among leaves In
the scratch shed; at night quart OF
shelled corn was thrown among the
leaves.
Nothing pleases hens better than to
dig up fresh moist earth for them, and
l think there is nothing healthier
Green food, cut grass, rye and wheat
was fed them every day-all they
would eat; but the way confined hens
enjoy their green meal the best is to
place slab of sod in their pen, or
even pull up large tufts of grass.
No need to fear infertile eggs from
yarded fowls if you will pen only
healthy fowls. Give variety of food;
induce exercise, and keep quarters
clean. I prefer a yearling cockerel to
an older male. Whatever age the head
of the pen must be in the very pink OF
perfection as regards health and vigor,
One should have not more than eight
hens to one male of the larger breeds;
several more hens may be mated TIC
male if OF the small breeds. ou'
chicks were B. P. Rocks.
Gather the eggs every day. Keep IN
an even temperature, several degrees
above freezing; turn every day ano
you may keep them three weeks; then
set and receive good matches as far as
the age Of the eggs is concerned. II
will probably take from Is to "a hours
longer to hatch them. The above care
applies equally as well to setting eggs
from range fowls, or any other poultry
If you would once try the plan of Sc
lecting eight or dozen of your best
hens, mating with No. 1 cockerel
yarding and using these eggs to hatch
from, you would never try other ways

A Moose and Horse Race.

While the peculiar pacing gait Of
moose will not carry him over the
ground as rapidly as the deer or Carl
bou, his endurance far surpasses that
of either of these animals. For a
short sprut or in very deep snow the
caribou can easily discount the moose.
but for an all-days jaunt, where the
course is fairly open, the moose has
no rival. Many years ago, when Sir
Edmund Head was governor Of the
Province of New Brunswick, he owned
a tame moose that performed remark
able feats of speed and endurance. On
one occasion the governor wagered
50 500 that his moose could travel from
Fredrickton to St. John over the ice, a
distance of eighty-four miles, in faster
time than any team of horses in the
stud of Lord Hill of the Fifty-second
regiment. A sledge was attached to
the moose and another to the horses.
The river ice was covered with about
eight inches of snow. The start was
made opposite government house at s
o'clock in the morning. In seven hours
the moose and his driver were in
Market square, st. John. Lord Hill $
team was distanced, one of the horses
expiring at siagetown and the other
reaching St. Jokkl three hours behind
the moose.-Breeder and Sportsman.

In the panic of 1893 there was sud

all parts of the country. The demand,
beginning in modern terms, presently
increased to enormous proportions. 1t

and at one time there were requ SITS for
some $3O,OOO,000 more than could be
supplied.
Naturally this increased the panic
and aided in bringing about disaster,
and the authorities at Washington
came in for severe criticism. Their
answer was that the s5,O00,00O in bank

the banking interests; and the govern
ment set about doing so.
The result of that complication is a
wonderful rev vault, just now COM
pleted, which will store $90,O00,0O0 in
money. With this enormous sum on
hand it is not probable that any de-

The new vault is u feet square and
it's walls rise to a height of II feet.
The lining is composed ox Bessemer
steel plates three-eights of an inch in
thickness, and these are securely fas-
tened by means of huge screws and
/ bolts to framework of steel, which is
built into the masonry.
All the pigeon holes, nearly 5000 in
number are of steel, and there is not
an inch of inflammable material in
the furnishings of the vault.
This new vault can be entered only
through the old vault, and its location
is impossible to determine from the
outside of the building. The govern
ment has even gone so far as TO put

Poultry Briefs.

Eggs for Matching should be COM
paratively fresh. That is, they sho@d
not be over ten days old, though some
hatchable eggs are over three weeks
old when they go under the hen or
into the incubator. at this time of
year it is easier to keep eggs in a
condition for setting than it will be
later in the season when tie heat is
greater. Eggs SHOULD be keIe at be-
tween 40 and so degrees If they are
to be kept for some weeks before being
used. This is difficult thing to do
unless the arrangement be very per-
feet. The natural temperature of the
earth is about 55 degrees, and this is
probably as near an ideal temperature
as we can get for our eggs. We can
give them to a considerable extent
the temperature of the earth.
Now that the spring is coming and
with it all kinds of germs, the drink
ing vessels of the fowls should be

Fearful Explosion of Steel Digesters
In Pulp Mill.
THREE TERRIFIC REPORTS
And the Next Instant the Building
and Mills About the Structure
Added to the Horrors of the Occa-
sion.

Wilmington, August 21. Five
bodies were found in the ruins of the
Jessup & Moore Paper company's di-
gesting room today and tonight which
with those reported killed previously
and two who died today, bring the
number of known dead up to 16.
Sixteen workmen are known to
have been killed, five are missing and
four others were badly injured by
the explosion of the steel digesters in
the Delaware pulp mills of the Jessup
& Moore Paper company on the
Christiana river yesterday. The
known dead are: Frank Harris, Will
liam Burke, James Nagle, John Nc
Cormick, Zach Collins (colored), Jas.
Stokes, Joseph Lumbacher, Granville
Waters, John Henry, fireman.
The missing: William Scott, fire
man. Joel Hutton, fireman; William
Ruth, fireman. E. H. Mousley James
Sweeney.
The injured: James Jester, badly
burned, recovery doubtful, John Col
Inns, burns and inhaled flames Thos.
Reeves, skull fractured in two nlaces );
may die, George Durham, burned and
scalded recovery doubtful.
The digesters were located in two
story building (there were 10 of them
in the building), each one resembling
a vat and about six feet in diameter.
They were used for reducing wood
pulp. Eighteen men were at work
in the building. There were two ter
rife reports and the next instant the
building and mills about the struct.
ure were completely wrecked. One
digester was blown into the air and
fell to the ground $50 feet away. A
vented the outside workmen from go
ing to the rescue of those who were
caught in the ruins of the falling bull
ding. Several men made their escape
without injury. An alarm of fire was
sounded and the entire fire depart
ment of the city, and large force ot
| police were soon on the ground and
the work of rescue was Immediately
begun. Several of the workmen were
taken out unconscious, only to die
after being removed to hospitals
The wreckage was piled up for more
than 80 feet and the escaping steam
made the work of rescue difficult.
Those who were not killed outright
were mangled and burned by escap
ing acid that flowed over their bodies
from the broken digesters. The mon
etary loss is only $4,000.
