History OF eIass.Makina.

The Oldest specimens of glass says
an authority on curious information,
are tracked back from 1900 to 1890
years before Christ. These are OF
Egyptian origin. Transparent glass
is believed to have been first used
about $50 years before the Christian
era. The PhGnicians were supposed
by the ancients to have been respon-
sible for the invention. and the story
will be recalled by the Phenician
merchants who, resting their cook
ing pots ON block of natron. or sub
carbonate of soda. found that the
union. under heat. of the alkali and
the sand on the shore produce glass.
There is little doubt, however, &C
cording to Harper's Weekly, that the
art of glass making originated with
the Egyptians. 1t was introduced into
Rome IN the time of Cicero. and reach

THE BEST BREED.

Which is the best breed Of cattle
is a question frequently asked. The
best breed depends on what is expect
ed of it. If choice steers are to be
raised for market and which are to
grow rapidly. produce carcasses that
will command excellent prices. and at
the lowest cost, use the beef breeds. If
milk and butter are the objects the
beef qualities should not be sought.
1t is not difficult to learn, at the pres
emit day. how and where to procure
the best breed of milk and butter pro-
ducers. but in so doing aim to secure
not only the breed. but choice ami
mails Of the breed. II beginning Is
made with the best the more rapid
will be the progress to success, al
there are inferior animals even among
the pure-bred ones An extra dollar
or two expended at the start will re-
turn four-fold in the future.

this delicious passage in the further

The time has passed when a swill

barrel. and the pigs were compelled
to accept food that had undergone fer.

was mass Of disease germs. The in.

worked changes in the feeding of

most men feed too much hay to their
