Great Bells.

In the manufacture of great bells
Russia has always taken the lead.
The Giant" which was cast in Mos
cow in the sixteenth century, weighed
288,000 pounds, and it required twen-
ty-four men to ring it. It was broken
by falling from it's support, but was
recast in 1854. On June 10, 17O6, it
again fell, and in 1892 the fragments
were used, with new materials, in cast
ing the king of Bells" still to be
seen in Moscow. This bell is nine
teen feet three inches high, measures
around the margin sixty feet nine
inches, weighs about 443,732 pounds,
and its estimated value in metal alone,
is at least 100000. St. Ivan's bell,
also in Moscow, is forty feet nine
inches in circumference, sixteen and
half inches thick, and weighs 127,-

next to those of Russia in size. In
Pekin there are seven bells, each is
said to weigh 100000 pounds. The

CHAPTER w.

At last, the outbreak of the war fur
nished the long-desired opportunity for
an open breach. Harrison imposed
conditions which he knew the young
officer would never accept and, on his
refusal, withdrew his promise. In this
way he had semblance of justice on
his side, and Roland's refusal was de-
scribed under the most hateful colors.
Florence was neither energetic nor in
dependent. She had been brave so
long as William stood at her side and
she was sure of his love and protec-
tion. Alone she was unable to contend
with her father and Edward, and now
and Edwards passionate entreaties,
for the latter was determined to secure
her hand at any COST At last, sup
posing herself deserted by the man she
loved, she yielded to these creatures
and gave up her resistance.
The young girl was suddenly startled
from her reyerie by broad, bright bar
of sunshine. The blinds of the glass
doors leading out upon the terrace had
been opened, and man appeared, in
a light summer suit, with a broad
brimmed straw hat pulled so low over
his brow that, Al his features could
scarcely be distinguished. The visitor,

den, instead of using the main en-
trance, and now, unannounced, hur-
riedly entered the drawing-room. The
young lady involuntarily took step
toward the table, on which stood a
bell.
"Florence!"
She started, for she recognized the
voice, then the features, and with a
cry of mingled fear and Joy she held
out both arms to him.
"William!"
He was already at her side and
clasped her passionately in his arms,
exclaiming with deep sigh:
"Thank heaven! At least I have not
lost you!"
Florence clung closely to him, as if
seeking protection. Everything that
had tortured her vanished in her
lovers presence, in the delight of see
ing him, and she eagerly exclaimed:
Have you come at last? Why have
you left me alone so long-so endlessly
long? I despaired of your return"

William. my regiment was one of

Prom me? I did not write,' said

William, who was still holding her
in close embrace, suddenly released
her and stepped back.

months of our separation? You have

Housing Geese.

From the Farmers Review: There

farm that requires as little shelter as
geese after they reach maturity. Give
them straw or something of the kind

An open shed of almost any descrip-
tion, that will keep out the snoY, is
an ideal place for the breeding OF
geese. They should never be con.

young goslfngs a different place is
needed. Mine are nearly all Matched
with hens. AS fast as they get out
OF the shell l take them in a covered
basket and place them near the
kitchen stove. They are such large
soft, clumsy things that they are
often crushed in the nest, if not re.
moved at once. When they are all
out and we'll dried of, I place them
in an ordinary coop with the old hen.
If 1t is early in the spring and the
weather is cold, it is generally best
to leave the hen with them until
they are two or three weeks old, but
later In the season, as the weather
becomes milder, discard the old hen
entirely after the goslings are three
or four days old. They are then kept
in dry place and shut up at night

tered from rains until their backs are
well feathered out. After that your
troubles are practically over with
them. Turn them out where they can
get plenty of grass and water with
a feed of meal once a day, and you
can almost see them grow. My ex-
perience is confined to the Toulouse
variety, and I have found them very
hardy and easily raised. They are a
profitable fowl for the farmer and
should be more extensively raised.

her heart and, with a touch of de-
fiance, the young girl answered:
"Tidings of you did come, but they
were not addressed to me-the letter
in which you renounced me and all of

"Your father-not you What other
answer could I make to his shameful
demand? Either he never knew me,
or he could not have set such a choice
before me-or he knew my decision in
advance, and my refusal was to seal

determined"
'Well, at least you made your choice
promptly enough! You uttered the re-

Invention Of Separators,

j. III. Monrad in New York Produce
Review says: professor harrington
writes in the Farmers Sentinel, Mil
waukee, Wis, an article on the evolu-
ton OF the separator as follows:' One
OF the first applications of this princi-
pie to cream separation was made by
Massachusetts man in about 1875.
He placed graduated glass tubes filled
with milk in pockets something like
those now used in the Babcock milk
tester and whirled these tubes in a
machine constructed for the purpose.
After whirling about twenty minutes
the thlckest of the cream was meas
ured IN each tube. This machine was
designed to be used as cream tester
for milk. 1t was, however, a pattern
for the first commercial cream sep
arators, which were constructed on,
the same plan, excepting that pals
holding fifty to sixty pounds of milk
were substituted for the glass tubes
1t seems Professor harrington over
looks the fact that it was Prof. G. J.
FUCHS Of Germany who suggested the
use OF centrif ifugal force in testing
milk as early as 1859 and that in 1864
Antonln Prandtl of Munich expert
mented with raising cream by placing
small cylindrical vessels with milk in
an ordinary centifuge. Furthermore,
1t was, according to Ed. Burnette,
about 1870 when Rev. H. F. Bond Of
Massachusetts made his experiments
with two glass jars attached to spin
ole making 200 revolutions. Let us
give the honor where it is due, that is,
TO Germany, not only for originating
the idea, but also for the first use of

Agricultural College Cows.
1t it with pleasure that we note the
addition of twenty high-bred COWS to
the herd of the California Agricultural
College. This will give them thirty
COWS In all, representing the three
breeds, Holsteins, Jerseys and Guern-
seys. Lack Of good COWS is one of the
chief deficiencies in the equipment of
many OF our agricultural colleges. In
the past the appropriations have been
SO small that the funds have been
barely sufficient to pay the charges
OF the instructors and keep up the
buildings. The live stock departments
have been the last to receive atten.
tlon. Probably this could not be help
ed. But it is hoped that the day of
Inferior herds at the fountain head of
our dairy instruction is passed. There
are several other colleges that need
better dairy herds than they have at
present The students should have
before them the best types of COWS
and abundant opportunity to see the
good and bad points Of the various
dairy breeds. 1t is not enough that
one dairy breed be represented. All
dairy breeds should have their repre-
sentatives at the agricultural college.
Otherwise the student will have
one-sided education in this regard, and
he will go from college prejudiced in
favor Of one breed and against an
other.
