A veteran lumberman told the fol-

recognized by some as familiar ac-
quaintance in new clothes:
"The cOmmissary Of subsistence In

drove $50 miles TO get a change Of fare
and returned with two crates Of live
poultry. Grain being out Of the ques-
ton, the fowls were fed on cOrnmeal
made into dough. That proving very
expensive. our commissary mixed saw
dust with It in the proportion Of three
parts Of meal TO one part Of sawdust.
The chickens ate as usual, and the
hens began to lay.
by and by as the meal grew scarcer
the proportion OF sawdust was increas-
ed until the food became mixture Of
three parts Of that woody product to
one Of meal. One of the older hens

Now is the time Of year when the
farmer and stockman. In order to avoid
serious losses among his stock, should
see that his stables are warm and
comfortable against the cold billiards
OF the approaching winter, says an In
diana correspondent Of Prairie Farmer.
Every year the knell Of warning Is
sounded through the agricultural jour
nails. Yet in spite Of this there are still
many farmers who are careless ana
negligent In this respect. In travelling
over the country one will see stables
with the doors off Of the hinges, boards
Knocked off the siding behind the
horses. allowing the rain and snow TO
blow in OH them. Hogs are often seen
living on the frozen ground for want OF
protecting shelter squealing day and
night from cold The feed is another
example of the farmers negligence.
The fodder is left scattered all over the
field and In bleached and washed out
condition h thrown about the barnyard
for the stock TO pick up. Long before
spring these farmers. who were sure OF
an abundance Of feed. are asking them
selves what has become Of 1t. and IN
spite of all their feeding their stock iE

How GInnr Is PoIIahed.

1t was formerly thought that the
processes Of grinding and polishing
glass were continuous. but closer in-
vestigation Of the subject has proved
that this is not the case. Glass grind
ing is effected by the use Of emery
powder Of various degrees Of fineness.
But II has been shown that this grind
ing cannot be carried beyond certain
point. however fine powder may be
used. In fact. a continuation OF IL I'M
does the work and breaks the surface
up again.
The most finely ground plate. u
largely magnIfed. is shown to be GOV
cred with tiny bits which no grinding
will remove The work Is therefore
continued with rouge carried on a pad
Of resin, which gradually smooths
down the elevations between the pits
Hydrohuoric acid gas cOrrodes glass
very rapidly, but a weak solution OF 1t
melts away the roughened surface and
leaves a fine polish underneath. This
method is used where very fine ADJUST
ments Of the surface are required-as,
for instance. in lenses for telescopes
and microscopes.

Teaching Business.

The merchant Of fifty years ago be-
lIeved that business could not be learn
ed by educational processes, says a
writer In Success. The school which
proposed to teach business was looked
upon with suspicion. II advertised to
do the impossible. The tricks Of the
trade had 10 be taught In the counting
room under a system Of apprenticeship.
The merchant received the boy into his
family and made him the trusted com
panion Of his life and labors. 1t was
the same In that day in all trades. but
conditions are changed. The volume
Of business now transacted and the
methods In vogue In offices, stores and
factories make It impossible for the
business man Of today to afford time
for the general training Of his clerks
and assistants. The shop Is the place
where training must be used rather
than sought. Thus In many Occupa-
lions It has become necessary to sub
stitute practical training In the schools
for the teaching formerly given
through experlence.-Detrolt News
