Chicago. The land tower was erected
on one Of the tall buildings of the city
and communication was successfully
maintained with the steamer City of
Milwaukee until she was twenty mics
sway, after which the vibrations Lv-
came quite weak While this was con-
sidered satisfactory, some improve
ments have been made by which this
range has been greatly increased.
It is proposed to establish complete
chain of stations along the great lakes.
which work is now being done by one
of the most energetic Of the wireless
companies. That at Cleveland has just
been completed, and is shown in the

tween the tops Of these masts is large

WhistIi11S Oil Can.
Gives Alarm When the Lamp Reser-
vcir is Filed,

The light from a good oil lamp is
regarded by many as far superior to
any other means of illumination for
many purposes, and oil would be more
generally used if it were not for the
dirt and Inconvenience attendant upon
it, such as filling the lamps and trim
ming the wicks. If these processes
could be simplified there is no doubt
that coal oil would enjoy greater pop
ularity, even'cin these days Of improved
gas burners and electric lights.
One of the most disagreeable fea-
lures Of the u.s. Of oil is the tendency
to overflow the lamp reservoir while
endeavoring to I'll it. With tie ordin-
ary arrangement Of oil can and lamp
reservoirs which arc now in use 1t Is
impossible to stop the flow Of oil just
at the proper time, and a very disa-
greeable mess is the result Of the ac-
cident. While it is possible to clean
up the oil. the odor cannot be so easi-
ly disposed Of, and this is particular
ly offensive to many persons.
A new oil can. which gives an alarm
when. the top Of the oil in the reser-
voir has reached point very Danger
ously close to the top Of the can. has
been recently put on the market. This

Methods of Breeding.

Too many farmers breed the animals
OH their farms without proper regard
to the value of the animal or its con-
dition. and the result is the lot Of scrub
stock which burdens so many farms.
If it is worth while to keep stock at
all it is certainly worth the time and
care necessary to see that they are
properly mated. This does not refer to
the particularly high bred stock, but
to any stock on the farm. That is, if
one has cows or pigs or sheep or fowls
of mixed breeds. care should be taken
in mating them so that the animals do
not still further degenerate.
The introduction of male or female
of a little better blood than those OH
hand will raise the standard. and by
following this few years Il decided
improvement will be seen in the ami
mails To continue breeding from the
low grade animals means a degenerat.
ing race, just. as the introduction of
purer and better blood means an i'm
proved race.

Handling YOun. Colts.

The first year with colts will have
much to do with their future. They
should not be permitted to stand on a
plank. cement. paved or any hard floor,
and the yard in which they run should
lie we'll Uttered. When colts are forced
to stand OIL hard floors there will be
a liability of ring-bone later in life.
A colt that is put on pasture after it
is weaned should cost but little to
raise. A full meal of ground oats at
night, with mess Of hay, is all that
is required. if there is an abundance of
Of grass. There is sometimes too much
feeding of colts Oh corn. The best
grain for them is ground oats.

Hardy FOWlH.

One Of our friends takes US 10 task
for advocating advanced ideas in poui.
try farming, and says that natures
way Of breeding is the best-that Is,
the survival Of the fittest and hardy,
rugged flock will gradually develop.
He says he remembers when he was
boy no one ever thought of having
house for the hens; some roasted IN
tree tops, some on the fence, and some
In the barn. but never one was SICK.
And he might truthfully have added
that seldom did one lay an egg. but
strange to say, the man who argues
thus seems never to figure on what
might be possible; lie knows that the
hens cost nothing and are no trouble,
and that satisfies him, says the In
dianapolis News. He doesn't stop to
think that with a good house to shelter
them, and plenty Of good food every
day. they may be made a constant
source of revenue, even though unoer
natures laws they simply existed as
necessary evil to every mans nome.
The march of progress has left be-
hind the mongrel breeds of every KIND,
and in their stead we have improved
strains, both useful and beautiful TO
look upon. The present day domestic
fowls and stock doubtless are not as
hardy as those of century ago were
but they are the money makers or THIS
progressive age, and this is what we
are all striving for. What care we If
hens live to be twenty years old II they
do not lay from $50 to 175 eggs every
year.? What care we if hens roost in
tree tops and never get sick II they 90
not lay? We keep them for profit, and
though it compels lis to do extra work.
we do not complain as long as results
are obtained. The men whose ideas do
not advance with the progress of the
world has but little to hope for, and at
last the shadows Of wasted life
will mark the ending of one who was
content to let nature hew his pathway
through life.

The Poultry House.

One of the best arrangements for the
comfort of the fowls is an open shed.
It can be added to the poultry house
with but little cost. as it should be
open in front, facing the sun, the open
ing to be covered with wire to protect
against enemies. The advantage OF
the open shed is that it provides shell
ter in the open air. There is nothing
to which the fowls object more than re-
naming in the reosting place of the
poultry house during the day. They
will stand for hours in the rain rather
than go into the roosting compartment
When the space at the disposal of the
fowls in the poultry house is very linn
tied the floor may be raised above the
ground. thus forming a shelter under
meath. instead Of the open shed. If
preferred. into which the fowls can
60 on stormy days. The raised floor
should be made of stout wood. and the
interior should be covered with layer
of litter or dry earth. two or three
inches thick, and this will assist in
making the house must warmer. as
we'll as affording the fowls an oppor-
tunity to exercise.

The steamer City Of Erie is to be
equipped with space-telegraph appara,
tus at once, and the City of Buffalo i'm!
mediately after. These boats will be
In touch with the shore at all times,
and will be the first to be equipped on
Lake Erie.
The first message from Cleveland to
Buffalo was sent on August 6, the dis
tance being $50 miles, partly overland.
The company engaged in establish
ing these stations now have in COM
mercial operation, it is said. stations at
Hamilton. Toronto. Cleveland and Buff

off the rain, that when two persons
approach each other from opposite
directions there is grave danger Of
collision when the umbrellas often sus-
tain damage, if some more serious in
jury is not sustained by one or the
other Of the pedestrians.
To avoid such accidents 1t is neces-
sary on the part of persons carrying
umbrellas under these circumstances
to repeatedly raise their weather
shields so that they may be enabled to
look under them and to look out for
objects ahead.
Pedestrians picking their way
through the rain are relieved c. this
bother and care by the use Of the um-
brella shown herewith. which is pro-
vided with a window. through which
the pedestrian may pick his way in
absolute freedom from accidents Of
this character.
The invention consists of circular
frame of metal sewed into the centre
of one of the panels of the umbrella
and this holds sheet of celluloid. or
other transparent material, through
whicn the pedestrian can have a con-
slant view Of the path in front of him.

A Thousand fearS Ago.

Russia, which tried to rescue the peo-
ple of Macedonia from the power of
the devastating Turk by the treaty OF
San Stefano years ago. but was pre-
vented by the British. and which now
declines to rescue them, has had rela-
tions with the Bulgarians for nearly
1000 years. The first appearance Of
the Russians in Bulgaria was in Au-
gust, 967, when RUSSIAN fleet ar
rived with 10000 men at the mouth Of
the Danube. in response Of an invita-
ton from the Greek monarch Nice
phorus, who. having conquered Crete
and Cyprus. was determined to sub
due the Bulgarians. The Russians
were led by Sviatoslav, whose food was
horse flesh ana whose couch was a
bear skin laid upon the ground. The
Greeks and BulsarIans soon afterward
united to drive away the northmen,
who had apparently come to stay. Af-
ter an interval Of nearly 1000 years
the Greeks and Bulgarians are again
bitterly opposed ana the Russian Gear
holds aloof.

7. There should always be friendly
feeling between the cow and the
mixer, and mixers should not be
changed if it can be avoided.

Feeding Roots TO Stock.

Admitting that the bulk Of all root
crops suitable for feeding animals is
water, it is still claimed that they are
valuable foods, provided no material
reduction is made in the quantity OF
the more concentrated foods and the
roughage. We know from experience
that root crops Slightly increase the
flow of milk in cows. but leaving this
out of the question, if at the small cost
of a few bushels of oats fed an AMI
NAL during the winter months, we in
crease it's vitality, improve its diges-
ton and keep it in perfect health, is it
not a profitable proposition? This is
precisely what root crops will do for
farm animals. all the way from the
horse to the poultry. Keep this not
only as a reminder to feed root crops
next winter, but to grow a good supply
next summer and reduce the small cost
of feeding them to merely a nominal
sum.

tip of the emptying nozzle through the
top Of the can and into the interior. its
end terminating into the upper part of
the can. This acts as vent under or
binary circumstances. AS the oil Is
poured out the air necessary to take
its place passes into the interior Of the
can through this pipe. In its passage
it is compelled to pass through

a whistling device. and as long as the
level Of the oil in the lamp reservoir
is below the filling nozzle whistling
is audible, but the instant the oil level
reaches nearly to the danger mark the
flow Of air into the reservoir is inter-
fered with and the whistling stops.

Horse Talk.

There is little difference in value
between the spring and the fall colt.
provided the mart be given suitably
warm quarters and milk-producing
food. The foal should also be fed his
share Of crushed oats and linseed meal
three Of grain to one Of bran.
The aim must be to give the mare a
good producing ration.
Three pounds Of crushed oats. three
quarts of wheat bran, good handful
of linseed meal, with cut clover enough
to fill a common farm bucket, all
steamed or mixed with hot water, is
a succulent and milk-forming ration.
Give this thr times day with al
the dry hay she will eat.
:. This should make a good-sized mare
give abundant milk and keep in good
flesh
The colt should be halter broken
when a few days old. Be careful and
gentle with him not to injure his soft
joints After he is year old he
should be broken to harness.

To Level the Soil.

In the preparation of the seed bed for
any crop. it is desirable to roll the soil
after plowing and narrowing. Rollers
are expensive, but any farmer who is
handy with tools can make a substitute
at comparatively small expense. The
illustration shows fiat roller, If the
term can be used, which will answer
all the purposes of the recognized roller
on any ordinary soil. The illustration
shows the construction IF the imple-
ment without much description being
necessary.
THE main care in it's construction is

Cheap Lands and Poultry.

On all lands there is a growth Of
something, and among the different
kind of barnyard fowls there are some
that will find portion of their food
from the voluntary growth. The tur'
key is an active, forager, and indus

suming not only insects. but great
many grasses and seeds. Ducks and
geese prefer to seek the young and
tender heritage. not excepting weeds.
/; piece Of land is idle, and is insult.
able for large stock, it will pay to put
it to use, and thus compel it to return
at least the interest on its value. When
poultry houses are built sufficiently
far apart to allow room for flock of
fifty hens, they will need little or no
attention in summer, the feed given
depending on the vegetable supply Of
