Perhaps the greatest weights borne
FOR any distance on mems backs are
the loads of ore brought up from the
mines of the Andes by the miners of
Chilli. Darwin visited a copper mine
in rayine leading from the main
range of the Cordilleras, where the
work was carried on by such primitive
means that, though the mines had
been worked in the mountains for at
least two centuries, the water was re.
moved in some by carrying it up shafts
in leather bags on mems backs
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, a ver-
teal climb of 400 feet, by the miners,
and that the average weight carried
was 80 pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair. but up
notched trunks of trees, set almost up
right, one touching another.
The food of the Gillian miner, ac-
Cording to Darwin, consisted of ra-
tions of sixteen figs and two small
ioaves of bread for breakfast; for din
ner boiled beans, for supper wheat
crushed and roasted. They scarcely
ever tasted meat.

A correspondent asks how a corn

this by the cut of a crib in this column.
The crib may be built cheaply, and of

Rats can never pass over this hood

There is more or less objection to the

try raisers and 1t Is admitted that in
sections where the fowls can have con-
siderable time out of doors during
the winter, this shed may not be nee
essary. But when the birds are raised
In localities where there is consider
able snow on the ground during the
winter the scratching shed is certain
ly comfort, for it gives the birds a
place in which they may scratch with
out being exposed to wind and wet.
An ideal house is one that is four
feet in the rear, eight feet high in
front, with house ten feet wide and
fifteen feet deep and a shed attached
