UraIite May he Cut Like Wood. Yet
Ii lis FireprOof.


Have you ever heard OF uralite? Prob
ably not, for 1t is new invention, Yet
it is well worthy of notice, since il is
superior to anything of the kind that
has yet been produced
1t Is the invention OF Russian artil
lery officer and chemist named Imsche-
netzky, and its claim to distinction lies
in the fact that il is absolutely fire
proof.
Uralite is composed OF asbesius fiber
with proper proportion of silicate, bi-
carbonate of soda and chalk, and it is
supplied in various finishes and colors.
according TO the purpose for which IL is
intended
In a soft form sheet of uralite is
like an asbestus board When hard it
resembles finely sawed stone and has a
metallic ring.
Besides being nonconductor of heat
and electricity, it Is practically water
proof, and may be made entirely so by
paint, and Is not affected either by at
mospheric influences or by the acids
contained in smoke in large towns.
which rapidly destroy galvanized iron.
Moreover, ii can be cut by the usual
carpenters or woodworkers' tools; ii
can be veneered to form paneling for
walls or partitions; ii can be painted,
grained, polished and glued together
like wood; ii does not split when a nail
is driven through it, 1t is not affected
when exposed to moisture or great
changes of temperature. and it can be

the process of manufacture or after

Egg. In surgery.

Should the recent experiment of a
surgeon'in the Charity hospital at New
Orleans prove as successful as II now
seems likely the hen will find place
In the world even more highly honored
than her present position, for the egg
bids fair to supplant the old fashioned
skin grating process In cases Of burns
or scalds. This New Orleans surgeon
has used the membrane which separat-
ed the contents Of an egg from the
shell and finds that 1t adheres to a
wounded arm and proceeds to form the
basis Of new skin. His method is
very simple. The wound is washed
with the salt solution generally used
In such cases, the membrane from the
egg is placed on the wound and band
aged to hold it firmly. Within a few
days the wound begins to heal, and the
new skin grows out from the spots
where the egg membrane was planted.

In order to enjoy the pleasure Of

Grinding Grain For Horses.

At the North Dakota experiment sta
ton ground oats and bran gave slight
ly better results than unground oats
and bran. This was found true at the
Iowa experiment station. 1t is the
opinion Of horse breeders that colts,
brood mares and horses with defective
teeth do much better on ground feed.
At the Maryland experiment station 1t

were more thoroughly digested than
the unground grain.

FILLED WITH TACKS.
A Hammer which the Carpet Layer

We illustrate herewith a very clever
invention In the nature of a magazine
tack hammer, as described in the Sci
entific American. The hammer carries
a number of tacks In the hollow handle
portion, and by simple feeding de-
vice the lacks are delivered singly, as
required, to the hammer head. which is
magnetized and thus holds the tacks In
position for driving.
The magazine consists of channel
or raceway (R), which supports the
heads Of the tacks, as shown. The
hammer head is pivoted in the forked
end of the handle and is held in posi-
ton for hammering by spring within
the handle, which at the opposite end
is attached to snap latch (S) The lat
ter serves to close the rear end of the
raceway, while an escapement device
is provided at its forward end.
A push rod (P) Is attached at one end
to the hammer head, and the other end
projects through the upper face of the

POINTS ON FEEDING

Some succulent food should be fed to
breeding ewes at all times, though it
is very easy to feed them too much
just previous to Landing, says John A.
Craig in Farm Home. When turnips
or silage are fed to breeding ewes in
too liberal quantities weak lambs are
likely to result Before lambing three
pounds of any succulent food, such as
mangel wurzels, sugar beets, corn or
clover silage, will be found sufficient.
After Landing unlimited quantities of
these may be fed to stimulate the milk
flow.
Glover For Pigs.
The Oregon experiment station pub
fishes the result Of pigs on clover. 1t
says: The value of clover pasture for
growing pigs was tested with twelve
animals about three months old, hur-
died on twenty-s six square rods Of good
clover pasturage In three months
there was total gain Of 253 pounds.
According to the showing one acre Of
good clover for growing hogs repre-
sents a value Of $44.36.
Feeding Skim MIX to Hogs.
The Utah experiment station has
from time to time made some very
valuable experiments in feeding milk.
The testimony on the value Of skim
milk for hogs as a food is convincing.
Hogs when fed milk and grain require
much less matter to make a pound of
gain than hogs fed on milk alone. The
average of the Utah experiments show
ed 100 pounds of milk to be equal to
about twenty-four pounds of grain.
Alfalfa For sows.
Governor Hoard Of Wisconsin advo-
Gates keeping the SOW on alfalfa until
she farrows. He says the pigs are
stronger and do better. He gave an
illustration of raising seventy-six pigs
out Of seventy Eight produced. Such
figures speak for themselves and com
ing as they do from such high source
ought to be convincing
Ration For Colts.
Crushed oats and good wheat bran
mixed make an excellent grain ration
for growing foals, says St Louis Re
public. Some mix 1t in equal proper
lions, but most prefer two pints Of
oats to one Of bran. Where crushed
oats cannot be obtained mix the bran
with whole oats IN the proportion
named. 1t Is more economical to feed
crushed oats than whole ones, especial
" II the colt eats so fast that he swal-
lows some Of the grain whole, as In
such cases no nutriment Is derived
from those that are not masticated.
Ration For Growing Pigs.
While rather the best ration for
growing pigs is skim milk and ship
stuff, very good ration can be made
Of bran, ground oats and oilmeal, one
bushel Of bran, one bushel of oats and
one gallon Of oilmeal made into slop.

A Norwegian engineer has recently
invented new apparatus for sea
sounding, by which 1t Is not necessary
to touch bottom. This Is accomplished
by an acoustic method. The depths are
also registered graphically upon q re-
volving drum. The operation of the de-
vice depends upon the time which
sound takes to travel to the bottom and
return. and the measurement Of the
time thus gives the depth to which the
exploring apparatus ID lowered.

Treatment for Smut.

$50 many inquiries are coming
into the experiment station for
methds of treatment for smut in
grain that simple method would
prove effective if given here in. con-
nection with the use of seed grain.
"There are no smut proof varities
of wheat. Whenever wheat infested
with smut is planted we can expect
smntted crop. Smut does not
come from the variety, and is as
infectious disease in wheat as is
measles in in the human family.
Threshing machines as well as seed
wheat which is infested, often carry
smut from farm to farm.
ITO treat seed wheat for smut,
secure from reliable druggist good
formaldehyde. With each pound of
this liquid mix 80 gallons of water.
Spread the wheat on a tight floor,
sprinkle on the solution, and shovel
until every kernal is moistened. Let
the grain stand few hours before
sowing. If sown the same day, the
machine will need to be set to SOW
about one fifth more more than the
ordinary amount. If it is not to be
sown the same day. the grain should
be shoveled over until dry, or spread
thinly on the floor to prevent heat
ing. One pound of formaldehyde
will treat from 80 to 100 bushels,
the cost being only few cents per
bushel treated.
"Smut of oats and barley is sue
cesfully treated inn the same way,
using more liquid to insure its soak
ing under the bulls and destroying
the germs there. The grain drill the
threshing machine, wagon boxes,
grain bins, or grain bags infested
with smut spores may be cleaned by
wetting with the solution"

Where is.it possible to get good
reliable seed? In to saving the
plumpest heaviest seed from the
supply on hand
Anyone who has good quality
of wheat should advertise the fact in
local adjacent county papers. More
than the market price can be secured
for such wheat ard it should be
everyone's interest not only to get
good fair price for the seed grain,
but to help others in making the
most out of a poor state of affairs.
y
An indescriminate use of shrunken
rusted wheat will result in very
low production and valuation. 1t
costs exactly as much to grow a
crop of poor wheat as it does to
grow a good crop and the net profits
per acre are very close to minus
quantity. There is at this time
within the grasp of the farmers, an
opportunity to make a long step
toward the perfecting of our whe at
condition. Selection of seed, rota.
ton of crops, better tillage and bet
ter management will restore the
average yield per acre and better
farm conditions generally. There
are three ways to keep up total pro
duction, viz: Improvement of the
plant itself, improvement in methods
of tillage and increased acreage.
These are one and all within the
grasp of the farmer il he will but
reach for it. But in contemplating
the third way, do not lose sight of
the old adage: OF all the acres of
thy desire, the few are better for thy
tillage.'
''Poor seed is not reliable.
Poor seed gives inferior quality
and quantity.
"Rusted wheat may have good
termination and the plants may start
vigorously, but such crop could not
withstand unfavorable conditions.
THE better the seed as may be
seen or determined by weight, the
better the crop in every way.
"The better the seed is cleaned
the better the crop, especially in
yield.
"Rusted wheat when we'll graded
and relieved of shrunken kernels,
