The illustration shows a new roller skid which has been designed by Edu ard Scharrer of Stuttgart Germany for the purpose of loading and unload. Ing heavy boxes from wagons. With It's use. says the Chicago News. all ne- cessity for turning the boxes over and over ss they are forced up the incline to the wagon is done away with. and there is consequently considerably less danger of damaging the contents of the package.
 Fewer men are required to handle heavy freight where this skid is used. as single cartman can push a heavy box over the rollers with ease, and the new device makes the operation prac- tcally noiseless. There is no chance

 New Method of Cleansing Wool
 Edgar Baruch. until recently grad uRte student in the college of chem sstry in the University of California, has had the distinction of inventing S new method of cleansing raw wool, which gives promise of eventually rev. olutiopizing the wool industry in his state If not in the entire country. Dis earding the old costly and compiler methods. he has devised a new proces in which crude oil distillate performs the important part. This in every eY. pertinent tried with it thus far has yielded the most gratifying results. and the young scientist is now of the opinion that in such volatile solvents instead of in alkaline and soapy solu- tons as heretofore lies the secret of the proper degreasing of new wool.

Ten Bushels More Per Acre.

We think that it will be generally
admitted that it is possible to increase
the yield of the corn crop at least ten
bushels per acre. This will be done
largely in the line of securing a better
quality of seed corn, corn of a better
type The better preparation of the
ground before planting will also help,
as we'll as the more thorough cultiva-
ton of the crop. Touching on the i'm
portance of the seed used and the type
OF corn raised, we mention that thirty
samples Of corn, supposed to be the
best that thirty corn raisers could en-
ter for premiums, offered at a farmers
institute and carefully scored varied in
proportion OF corn to cob from IS to SO
per cent. Of the thirty samples exhibit
ed tWenty-seven were what might be
properly called scrub corn, showing
no distinct type or breeding, the best
corn exhibited being a pure bred corn.
we believe that seven bushels per acre
may be added to the product of any
cornfleld by the use of pure bred seed,
gust as per hundred weight is added
to the value of pure bred steer This
reform may be easily brought about by
any man who will give the thought to
this subject which it deserves The 9TH
CT three bushels per acre we believe can
be secured in the matter alone of more
thorough preparation of the ground
before planting

HorSehesh AS Food.

We are asked the reason for the pref
udice against horse meat as an article
of food, when the horse is one of the
very cleanest of our domestic animals
both in diet and habit We really do
not know. The old Mosaic ban which
by implication barred the horse can
hardly be the reason, when civilized
humanity so readily and eagerly &C
cepts the hog as an article of food, and
that, too, with the hog explicitly forbid
den We incline to the opinion that the
real cause is an honorable sentiment
and not prejudice, the horse in all
history having been mans companion
and burden bearer and thus man is re-
luctant to devote his faithful friend to
such sordid and ignoble purposes. Ger
many is working out this problem for
the world at large-starving herself to
1T, and may have to await a passage at
arms with some beef eating nation to
finally settle it. A world of inhumani-
ty and cruelty practiced in connection
with the horse would be done away
with if his almost universal prejudice
against hOrsefesh as food could be re.
moved.

The question of the utility of fixed
market day at some central point for
farmers to aid them in the sale of the
products of their farms is being dis
cussed at many Of the farm Institutes
this winter. While in a thickly settled
country, as in all the agricultural dis
tricts of Europe, where a home market
is found for all produce, these market
days are indispensable, the conditions
in this country are quite different, the
bulk of the produce raised being ex-
ported. Of course with some minor ar
ticles such as the home market takes
it would be good thing to bring buyer
and seller together on market day.
This may, however, in measure be Sc
cured by the liberal use of the farm
telephone and the more general use of
the local newspaper as an advertising
medium. 4 good large bulletin board
placed in front of mans residence
will be an aid in the same direction.

men of Indian wood carving which was
found on one of the Isles of Promise, in
the Susquehanna river, opposite Little
Washington.
This specimen is a figure of an Indian
head carved from the root of a syca-
more tree, and is about one-half life
size. The carving is cleverly executed;
the nose, eyes, ears, lips and chin, and
even the headdress of feathers that sur
mount the features, are all we'll defined.
When it is considered that crude tools
of stone must have been used iN pro-
ducing the figure it is to be wondered
how the carver succeeded in so cleverly
reproducing in wood the facial char
acteristics Of the Indian. The effects
of time have reduced the carving to
the weight and consistency of pulp.
The island upon which the head was
found is rich in archaeological treas
ures, but this is the rarest and most
valuable ever found there.

The demand for Worlds Fair exhibit
space, in all departments is such that
it will undoubtedly be all taken months
before the opening day. Allotments are
being made rapidly. The value of the
annual product of manufacturing in
dustries in the United States has in
creased so per cent since the Columbian
Exposition at Chicago. Notwithstand-
ing the far greater area of exhibit
space for the louisiana Purchase Expo
sition in comparison with the Chicago
fair, it is really less in proportion to
the probable demands from the manu-
facturers and producers in the United
States and foreign countries.
