THE FARRIs WHEEL.
Oae of The AZ attic ms at The Worlds
Fair.

Uie OF ihe AT rNttCnS At The WOrId's 9
Fair.
The great Expositions held during th
last 10 wears have produced 2 marvellous
examples OF engineering aud constructive
ability One of these, the EiiIsl tower,
was designed and built by Frenchman
at Paris for the Exposition Of 1889; the
otLer, the Ferris Wheel, Was designed
and built by the late Geo w G Ferris for
the Worlds Columbian Exposition at
Chicago, in 1893.
Paris again held great Exposition in
1900 but failed to produce any feature
TO take the place Of tho Eitfel Tower.
In America, st Louis in 1904, planned
aud produced the greatest Exposition
the world has ever seen. Scores Of
attempts were made to invent something
more wGnd, rful and more attractive
than the Ferris Wheel, but as Paris fail
d to UutdU her own EitTel tower, 30 did
st Louis fail 10 equal the far-famed
Farris Wheel Of the Worlds Columb all
Exposition Of 1873. Arrangements were
accordingly made to bring the Ferris
Wheel TO the Louisiana Purchase Ex.
position, and it was given location near
the q orsraphical center OF the grounds.
The problem Of moving the Ferris
Wheel from Chicago to st Louis was
stupendous-4 200 tons of material, in &.
cludng the 70.ton axle, besides engines,
boilers aud :derricks aud faIsework, had
to be Transported. l75 freight cars were
required to move this material.
A brief resume Of tue dimensions and
description Of the Ferris Wheel may be

Bedding for Swine.

In winter 1t is common practice to
bed hogs, and this is to be commend
ed. There are many kinds OF material
in use and various opinions held as
to which is best. Some use oat straw,
but this is not in good repute with a
large number of our swine raisers.
Oats c1ten have smut in them and this
smut has been proved to be poisonous
to tne hogs II 1t gets into the eyes
or into wounds or even scratches on
the bodies or limbs of the animals.
Probably no kind of straw affected
with smut should be used. Rye straw
seems not to have the same objec-
tions made to it as has oat straw.
One OF the best beddings for hogs
is leaves. Where the country is roll
ing or cut with small ravines these
may be gathered In large quantities
in the Fall of the year, as they will
blow into the ravines and collect in
them to depth of several feet. Where
the land is level it is often too much
work to collect sufficient leaves to
serve as bedding for a number of
hogs throughout the winter. The col
lection of leaves where 1t is feasible
is not a matter that should be neg
lected. They contain much material
out of which humus can be made and
will be a valuable addition to the
stock of manure. They rot easily, and
this is factor in their favor. No
better bedding for any kind of animals
can be secured.

superlntendlna the Farm.

The farmer that succeeds is the one
that thinks and thinks to some end.
The superintendence of the farm Is
the thing of most importance to a
man that has farm large enough to
require the work of number of men.
The man with the little farm can think
as he goes along, but not so the man
that has a large area of expensive
land to control This was forcibly
brought to our attention recently In
a visit to one of the most successful
farmers in Illinois. He said that one
Of the greatest faults he had noticed
with unsuccessful farmers was their
lack Of ability to plan. He himself
always made 1t point to think out
the work days ahead, and to tell the
men the night before what they were
each to do on certain day. He
cited the instance OF one farmer that
lacked this power. He would not try
to think what to do till the day came
when the work was TO be done and
then he never succeeded In arrang.
ing his work so as to save time. He
would say to one man, well, you go
over and repair tnat fence" ana he
would go perhaps a mile to make a
little repair on a fence. which could
have been repaired when the men
were in that vicinity engaged on
some other work. This meant a loss
of time tnat was very considerable
factor when 1t was repeated over and
over throughout the year in various
forms. The man at the head Of af-
fairs is the one that must make the
farm work a success. II it is to be q

Show Yard Standards.

The show yard standards of cattle
have not always been the same, and
hence it is impossible for a breeder
to breed toward the show yard STAN
dard from year to year. He may. be
breeding toward the show yard stan
dard Of to-day and away from that OF
ten years to come. We remember
that twenty years ago the animal that
was fit to win in the show yard was
the great heavy steer weighing some
times a ton. We remember that men
kept breeding toward that standard
from year to year and for some time
were successful in carrying off the
greater number of premiums. But a
change came in the market demands,
and 10, the steers and bulls and cows
that had been bred for show pur-
poses through generations of their an.
cestors were out of type. A recent
winner at the International was asked
how it was that his steer, weighing
about 1850, CHANGED to take the first
prize. He replied that during many
years he had been breeding only with
the idea of putting good cattle on the
market. He said that during all this
time the demand had been changing
and with it the popular idea of what
was the best kind of a steer. He had
not followed the ideal, but the ideal
had chanced to get around to his kind
| of an animal, and he had thus taker
| prize that had made him famous
| 1t is probable that show yard stan
dards will continue to change. The
man that will win in the future. as
in the past, must be to some extent
able 10 look ahead and see what the
demand is to be in a coming year.

Reducing the Grain Ration.

There is no doubt that in the past
great deal Of grain has been thrown
away in the feeding of all kinds OF
iarm stock. through the feeding Of
quantities in excess OF what could be
utilized by the digestive apparatus OF
the animals fed. We have assumed
mat the more feed used by the animal
the Better. We have taken 1t for
granted that the animal that received
twenty pounds of grain day got from
IL twice as much nourishment as the
animal that received ten pounds per
day. We are now finding that this is
not so. This fact is bound to greatly
modify cur systems of feeding farm
animals. The problem is to get the
amount OF feed reduced or increased
to the point where it will be expended
with the greatest possible profit to
the owner of the animal. There is
such a thing as producing flesh and
Fat at too great an expense. Expert
ments have been made that showed
that steer fed eight and nine pounds
OF corn per day made the same gains
as the steers fed twelve and thirteen
pounds OF corn per day, all other
parts of the ration being the same in
all cases. The results of feeding steers
from twenty to thirty pounds of corn
q day showed that it cost as high as
ten pounds of grain to make one
pound of gain and that at this cost
the increase of weight was not profit-
able. The amount of grain to be fed
will. Of course, depend largely on the
kind of grain being given and on the
other things that go TO make up the
ration. We believe it doubtful II more
than twelve to fifteen pounds OF grain
can be profitably fed to a finishing
steer on the ordinary ration.

Ostrich PIucklna.

Ostrich pucking is really not a
''plucking'' but a cutting" says a
writer in Country Life in America.
The ostrich is coaxed into a wedge
shaped inclosure and a small bag
drawn over his head. which renders
him unres.sting. The large plumes
are carefully cut, leaving an inch Of
the quill, which in time drops out. A
few of the small feathers. when ready
to fall out. are really plucked. An
ostrich yields about fifty feathers at
a plucking.
