Watch as a Shirtstud.

The latest novelty in watches has
just been completed by n matchmaker
in Paris, who has made a set of three
gold shirtstuds, in one of which Is a
watch that keeps excellent time, the
dial being about three-eighths of an
inch in diameter.
The studs are connected by strip
of silver inside the shirt. The watch
contained in the middle one is wound
by the turning of the stud above and
the hands are set by turning the stud
below. The most striking thing about
the minute machine is that 1t works
with pendulum like a clock, and the
pendulum will act with ease and ac.
curacy in whatever position the time
piece is placed, even If it be upside
down.-Boston Herald.

an altitude Of $500 feet, according to
statement in recent number OF En-.
glneering, the work having been car
rled ON without cessation during last
winter. Before reaching the Mer-de-
Glace station, however, 760 yards OF
tunnelling remain to be done. and

been realized.

The Best Hens.

No one should be satisfied with less
than the best of anything But"
says poultry writer, there is no way
of knowing which of the hens are the
best unless they are closely observed.
Every hen that has a good record
should be marked and retained. not
only for laying, but for breeding pur
poses. The egg record would be mucl
higher, and the flocks improved every
year, if the farmer would keep only
the best hens from which to produce
the layers for another year. UnfortlI-
nately, with many "a hen is a hen,
but, in fact, there is a wide difference
in individuals, and any popularity or
points of excellence should be Oh.

Alfalfa Cow Feeding,

A dairyman keeping twenty-five
cows says that while corn meal helps
to give the COW more flesh when fed
with alfalfa, he has found alfalfa a
perfect food for milk cows, and for
most of the year he is able to keep his
cows in fine condition and in full flow
of milk with alfalfa alone. He thinks
1t is the best food he ever saw for
dairy cows, and feeds a little corn
meal only in late fall and winter and
till alfalfa comes on in the spring He
soil feeds his summer alfalfa, but pas
lures 1t some in spring and fall. He
has found that his alfalfa is great
saver of expense in COW feeding.-In-
diana Farmer.

Gains Per Bushel.

1t Is well to keep in mind the facts
ascertained in feeding tests at the In
diana Experiment Station, and to be
sure that the pigs are purely bred.
One of these facts of the test show
that thirteen and one-third pounds of
weight was secured in feeding one
bushel of corn when the pigs were six
to seven months old. and when eight
months old bushel made 1876 pounds.
The factors involved Were pure breed
ing and young shoats. AS pigs grow
older there is a rapid reduction in
weight to the bushel of corn fed. This
is the experience of feeders generally,
both in feeding pigs and cattle.-Indi-
ana Farmer.

The English Sparrow Nuisance.

There are thousands of farmers
troubled with sparrows. In England
and Germany they hire boys to drive
the sparrows away, or trap and kill
them. A man in this city makes
business of trapping them TO sell TO
sportsmen. He sells thousands of
them, but they do not seem to be
thinned out much. There seems no
way of getting rid OF them effectually

in the harvest fed or around the ele-
There is chance here for some in

New Language.

The graphists are at 1t again.
and grammars and dictionaries of a
new international tongue to be called
"Spokil." have been published. The
new language contains about 10000
words, mostly French, and is so con.
structed that one can tell at sight
whether a word is noun, adjective or
verb, and can also guess its meaning.
The idea is to make all words similar
in meaning similar in sound. Thus,
great" wide" fat" "long," "thick"
are represented by "alpo," "alko,"
"aljo," "also,," "alto," and their con.
