HORSEPOWER.
The, Unit as It Was, Originated and Defined by Watt.

The Unit as It Was Originated and ts 5 Defined by Watt.
 When steam engines were employed to drive mills, pumps and other ma chinery which had been previously driven by horses, it was natural to at tempt to express the work done by them in terms of the working power of the horse.
 James Watt was the first to define the unit of horsepower, which by ex- pertinent he found to be 33,OOO foot pounds minute. In other words, a one horsepower engine would raise 33,000 pounds one foot every minute, and so on proporttonally to the number of '.horsepowers' Indicated. by the en- zine.
 He arrived at this conclusion by ob- serving the work done by heavy dray horses in breweries working eight hours daily and found that horse go- ing at the rate of two miles and half an hour could raise a weight of 15O pounds by rope led over a pulley, which is equal to 33,O0O pounds raised one foot in one minute.
 Watt, for the credit of his engines, selected horses of more than average power.

MAHOGANY, WOOD.
The Way 1t Came to Be Used In the
 Making of Furniture.

Making of Furniture.
 Chippenda!e owes lis reputation to the fact that he published book of designs with over POO copperplate engravings, so that today any one who wishes may get them and reproduce them exactly or with such changes and Improvements as suit his fancy. That they are capable of improvement Chippendale himself was the first to declare Chippendale was one of the first makers of mahogany furniture Before his time this precious wood was valued only for the medicinal qualities it was supposed to possess.
 The idea of making furniture of ma hogany wood appears to have been the result of chance. A certain physician in London had great many mahogany blanks, and, wanting q candle box, he sent for cabinetmaker and instructed him to use the mahogany for the re- quired article of furniture. The man objected that the wood was too hard for his tools, and the doctor told him to get harder tools. The man did so, and when the doctor saw the box he was amazed at its beauty. Patients and friends talked about it, and at last the Duchess of Buckingham came to see it. She was enraptured and per suaded the doctor to give her wood for a similar box. As a result mahogany got to be the fashion.

GEN cocKRELL's ..FoRGETTERY.

The stories of Senator Francis Nj.
 Corkrell of Missouri. told in Washing
 ton relate chiefly to his absent-minded
 ness. Until her marriage, his daughter
 Marian used to make daily memoranda for him of all the things he was ex- |pected to do.
 About year ago he forgot that he had been invited to one of President
 Rooseyelt's state dinners, and spent the evening playing whist with par ty of old friends. The president was inclined to be. .indignant, but relented when Miss Cockrell called at the white house and assumed all blame for the offense by explaining that she had forgotten to tell the senator of his en-
 gagement.
 Upon another occasion German ad- mirer presented him with piece of Limburger cheese. stick of dyna- mite would have been just as useful to him, but he accepted the gift, put | it in his coat tail pocket and forgot all about 1t. Next day lie wore q differ ent coat to the capitol and was aston ished when he returned home to find a gang of plumbers and carpenters tear ing up the floors of his house looking for the dead rat which Mrs Cockrell believed responsible for the horrible odor Philadelphia North American.

4 MAMMOTH CHESTNUT TREE.

a MAMMOIH CHESTNUT TREE. ss<Qn the farm of Irwin H. .Sehantz, who lives near Spinnerstown, Bucks county, stands a mammoth chestnut tree, one that eclipses all the rest of the giant chestnut trees ill the Key stone state. Two feet above the ground the circumference of the trunk of this tree measures exactly thirty-six feet. The trees height is sixty feet, and ten feet from the ground are two branches, one to the left and the other to the right, and the circumference of Sae former is 8 feet, and the latter 9 Iret ? inches. Ten feet above the ground it's great branches extend, one of them feet inches in circumfer- enee, each of the others a few feet less. It's boughs spread nearly 90 feet
 The age of the tree is known to be at least 221 years, from tales told by ancestors of the proprietors of the property on which the tree stands. No one ever thought of cutting this giant down except i'll 1876, at the time of the centennial in Philadelphia, when the exposition commission offered the pro prietors $1O0 for an unbroken section of the trunk one foot from the ground What saved the mammoth from | de struction was the fact that no saw bong enough to cut it could be pro- cured. With luxuriant foliage like that of young tree, the monster chestnut still bears abundant crops.- Philadelphia Record.

Winter Quarters For Sheep.

Good, comfortable, roomy sheds are 2 necessity where sheep are to be win tered. These need not be expensive, but should be we'll ventilated, free from drafts and situated on dry ground. A large open yard, apart from that occu- pied by other animals, should be pro yided for exercise Too much confine- ment in overwarIn or i'll ventilated stables Is fatal to success with sheep. On the other. hand, comfortable quar- tera,, regular and liberal feeding, plen- ty of pure water and a sufaciency of salt will go far toward insuring their successful wintering and a strong crop of lambs in the spring Markets and Sheep.

Care and Feed For Pfreons.

A small yard or flight covered with wire netting must be provided for pigeons in order to keep them from returning home when taken to new loft. Old pigeons must always be kept in such a place, but the young ones raised in the loft will not fly away. A mixture of grains, consisting of cracked corn, wheat, hemp seed, peas and other small seeds, is generally fed.

Good growth will be continued if the calf when taken from it's mother is fed oats and corn, with little oat- meal, supplying at all times an abun- dance of dry hay or well cured corn fodder, says American ,Agriculturist. Nothing is better than pasture grass for growing beef calves. If the wean- ing time occurs in the winter 1t is most essential that the stockman have a good supply of roots or silage.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Caring For Nrnnure.


 The ideal way of caring for manure is to keep it under covered shed and over cement floor, so that no extra water can leach through it. The loss by teaching will run all the way from 15 to GO per cent of fertilizing value, depending upon the ease with which the water washes through the pile. There is more or less drainage through any soil, though the hard clays will hold most of the liquid. A floor of con- crete under the manure will pay for itself We should put some roof over the manure in order to regulate the supply of moisture. Where COW and horse manures are mixed you are not likely to be troubled with heating or hrefanging, as you would be if the horse manure were kept alone. It is sometimes necessary to put water on the pile to prevent this heating. Rural New Yorker. 1.,

Ayrsnfres Arc Good Foragers.

Ayrshfres Arc Good FOragers.
 Governor c. J. Bell of Vermont is a practical dairy farmer and keeps a large herd of Ayrshires for profit, says American Cultivator. As compared with the Holsteins, Governor Bell thinks the Ayrshires are more suitable for his conditions, because they can more easily forage for a living on the rough hillsides. His cattle are fed en- silage and dry fodder daily during the winter, care being taken not to feed the ensilage just before milking in order to avoid tainting the milk. The ia .Eordte-. grain is gluten and middlings, with little cornmeal. Animals out of condition are given little salt daily. His herd includes a number of heifers and partially dry cows and averages more than a can of eight and half quarts per animal daily.

Feeding stock Turkeys.

Few growers separate their stock or breeding turkeys from those Intended for market. Entirely too ma ny grow CTS feed them all together, sell tue most thrifty, for market and keep the least matured for producing stock
 This is great mistake. The very best should be selected for producing stock and the rest fed for market. Those selected for use in breeding, however, should be separated and fed by them selves if possible. The. best food for stock turkeys are boiled oats drained of all moisture, some wheat and a little corn. This will keep them in good healthy condition and quite full enough of flesh. It Is mistake to keep as producers fowls poor or thin in flesh. They must be in good condi- ton. plump. but not overfat. Feathers.

whether or not bicyle is a vehicle
IN a sense emitting it to rights on

are confronted with similar problem
as TO whether a motorcycle is car

made by the autocycle club that since
