the thief is fearful that the explosion
may be the means of attracting atten-

finds himself free from observation he
must undertake the task of breaking

The inner door is grill, of high car

ingeniously built of two different kinds
of metal. one high in carbon, and there

terror of the bar is of low carbon con

crackSman's work very difficult. as the
hard metal resists the saw and file

VALUE OF RAPE.


Not all sheep raiscr' appreciate the
immense value of rape. This plant
thrives especially well in northern lat
itudes and is one of the most valuable
Forage crops to lie grown in New Eng
land. The soil best adapted is Il rich
one. well supplied with humus and veg
etable matter. The plant does especial
ly wei. on muck or old pasture lands.
Lighter soils are inclined to give Il
dwarfed plant and rather unsatisfac-
tory crop. Rich clay loans give ex-
the ground he put in good filth before
planting.
For the very early crop rape should
be sown n early in spring as the
ground cal he worked, but for fall
p%aSturing July l is Il good date TO put
in the seed. The crop natures for feed
ing in about two months from time Of
planting. The work of the experiment
stations indicates that rather better re-
suits may he expected when the seed
is sown in drills thirty inches apart at
the rate of two pounds to the acre.
Rape is ideal feed for sheep and hogs.
and even dairy cow do fairly we'll on
ii. Conservative estimates have it that
an acre of rape will furnish about two
months pasture for twenty lambs
which are being fed a small grain ra-
ton in addition. Sheep should be OBJ
served closely when first turned into
rape or bloating may occur. Some of
the more forehanded of our New Eng
land farmers are thoroughly conversant
with the advantages offered by rape as
a forage crop. The brief remarks Of
a Massachusetts farmer given herewith
are of interest:
81 have never fed sheep in summer
except on grass, as | have the best of
natural pastures. However, while in
Ontario last fall | saw hundreds Of
sheep feeding on rape. which was high
ly recommended by breeders as a crop
either for soiling or for feeding off.
The seed is sown. after wheat or oats
or even corn at the last hOeing. Care
is required III getting sheep accustOm-
ed to it, as they are liable to scours
if fed too heavily at first. A. w.
Smith, winner of the lions share of
prizes in the Leicester classes at st.
Louis and Portland exhibitions, told
me that cabbages are the safest and
best green fall feed for show sheep
and that he always provides Il supply
for his show sheep at no matter what
cost."-New England Homestead.

STEEL CUT WITH GAS.
Jets of oxygen and hydrogen EN-
pIoyed SUCCESSFULLY.

Jets of Oxygen and Hydrogen EN-
Dloyed Successfully.
Saving steel is a dangerous process
because of the great power required in
running the cutting tools in the ease OF
tempered metal and also because of
the small particles of steel which are
scattered through the atmosphere and
breathed into the lungs of the work.
men.
French engineers have recently de.
vised a method of cutting steel which
avoids these dangers. A small Jet OF
oxygen gas is the instrument employed
and has proved itself most efficient
The complete apparatus comprises two
pipes, which move along the mark to
be cut. From the first pipe issues a
Jet of mingled oxygen and hydrogen,
producing a flame which first heats the
metal red hot. The oxygen jet issuing
from the second pipe literally burns
away the heated metal.
The cutting is very quickly done, the
heat not having time to be d~issipated
and no fusion of the metal taking place.
The section is as clean as that made
by a saw and Of no greater width. The
method has a special advantage In that
the section of the plate. pipe or other
object to he cut may be made accord
ing to any desired pattern.

STACKING WHEAT.
An Ohio Man Tells How to Do n Good
JOb-Prefers the Rick,

Here every one stacks wheat with
in Q week or ten days after cutting.
1t saves the grain in case of wet
weather, allows the owner to thrash
just when he pleases and renders him
independent of some poor, cheap rig
of a thrasher that around
knocking out Il crop here and there.
writes an Ohioan to Farm and Ranch.
| have been stacking wheat more
than thirty years and never had a
stack to take water yet. We prefer
the long rick to the round stack and
make our ricks eighteen to twenty feet
long and nine to twelve feet wide. If
you have no old rails or plank for u
bottom begin by setting up a long
shock, widening and lengthening until
the sheaves lie nearly fiat. heads up.
Use a short handled fork to place the
sheaves and stand up. Never get
down on your knees. but stand straight
up, directing the pitcher to throw the
sheaves toward the center of the stack
and in front of you, so you can easily
reach them.
Keep the stack fairly level until you
get as high as Il mans head: then keep
the middle full and solid, placing the
two outside courses rather loosely. In
fact, 1t is best to keep the middle
solid from the very start. and remem-
Der that you are not to get any farther
out than the heads of the second course
from the outside. as you may slip your
stack. An expert stacker can work
farther out than Il beginner. but if
you keep well in you can build just as
good "a stack and be in no danger of
slipping the stack. which is "a rather
serious matter. Draw in your stack
slowly the first few rounds. and then
you will naturally draw in faster from
the fact that your stack gets smaller
and your middle higher.
Any mar who can put or a good load
of grain can build a good stack if he
will remember to keep his middle full
and solid and keep off the outside
courses. One of my sons was a good
stacker AT nineteen years of age and at
twenty put 90 shocks into stack in
twelve hours with only one team haul
ing. Those 80 shocks made 430 bush
els of wheat, so it will be seen that
stacking is not such a big job after all.

THE HAY CROP,
A Michigan Man Handles It without
Hired Helm.

Invention and Improvement have
done much TO tighten the farmers load.
and especially is it the ease in modern
tools for caring for the hay crop. a
Michigan farner who thinks he has
one of the most convenient methods of
handling this crop describes his way
rs follows in Rural New Yorker:
First. as to the mower, | use n five
foot cut for all purposes. Then if the
grass is very heavy IL tedder will come
in use. In ordinary hay II side delivery
rake is sufficient. In raking the hay
it al be raked in light windrows to
cure out, and then just before draw
ing they can be raked together. Now
the loader IN in play. | would no
more think of going through having
without a loader than | would through
harvest without Il binder. | would not
use Il loader less than eight feet in
width, for no loader can do good work
with one wheel on the wiudrow. pSDe-
cially If it is heavy. My little nine
year-old daughter and | put up about
sixty tons of hay last summer. OF
course | did all the moving and rak-
ing, so all the help needed was a driver

Paris Green InIurIeH.

Potato leaves are frequently injured
10y poisoning with paris green applied
dry or even with water only. giving an
effect resembling early blight. espe-
cially where flea beetles occur. By
using the %arsenical poisons with lime
water or, better, bordeaux mixture
this injury is obviated as we'll as great
benefit gained from the protection
against fungOus diseases which the
bordeaux affords. Many farmers use
paris green alone in Il very wasteful
and injurious manner, and frequent
cases Of supposed blight are nothing
but paris green injuries. One pound
per acre at each spraying is enough.

HAY LOADER IN ACTION.

while loading, but that was more play
than work to the little girl. especially
so during the two days a little friend
from town spent with her. Sings are
used in unloading, so there is no pitch
ing with a fork rs of yore. For help
in the NOW | use a stout pole in the
center of the NOW running the entire
width of NOW (mOws are Is by 36).
The pole is placed as high as possible
in the barn, so that when the sling goes
over the bay with its load it will be
just above the pole, which is so made
that it revolves either way; then if I
wish to put the hay at the front of the
bay l step to the front of the load with
he trip rope, or if | want it at the
opposite side of the bay | step to the
back of the load. The few pounds it
takes to trip the sling is sufficient to
drop the heaviest part on that side Of
the pole, and away goes the hay to its
intended place. All that now remains
to be done is to level it off. Another
advantage in using the pole is that the
hay cannot drop in the center of the
NOW. consequently NOV burning Is
avoided.
Last summer a friend stopped in
just as | drove in the barn with a load
of hay. He asked what that pole was
for. When l explained it to him he
said, swell, I'll go up in the NOW and
see how it works" After helping to
put away the load he said he would
rather have that arrangement than the
help of any man who had aver helped
him to NOW away hay. Further, as
the loader is quite heavy for IA light
weight man to handle alone. | have
fixed a long tongue so | can place it in
the front of the loader, and can handle
1t as | would IA cart in putting it in
shelter. To hitch on to the WACO l
have arranged ii windlass and crank
to draw the loader to its place. so as
not to have TO do it by main strength.

GOLD MADE LIKE STEEL.
Surgical Instruments Made of Hard
cned Preoiona NIctnI.

y source of future great demand for
gold IN the arts and sciences is di-
vulged in Leslie's Weekly. in which
Henry Schedd Beardsiey relates how
an eminent doctor has discovered a
process for tempering gold to the hard
ness of steel and in making all kinds
of surgical Instruments u of the hard
ened metal. The utility of these will
be appreciated by every surgeon.
A steel hypodermic needle is never
inserted without leaving Il permanent
blue speck in tie skin of the patient.
probably because of the perhaps very
small quantity of impurity-rust or
otherwisc-which it contains. The gold
needle invariably leaves no mark what
ever. Approaching these facts, efforts
in lie surgeons particularly have
been interested have been made for
years to contrive a process for harden
ing gold 50 TINT 1t could be used for
the blades of instruments of surgery
of all kinds.
h is just what DIR. Vaughn has
accomplished after eighteen years of ex-
p~erimcnting and research. His method
consists of the employment of heat and
chemicals, but the tempering process
does not make an alloy of the precious
metal. Pure gold tempered by this
process remains pure, but the surgical
instruments which DIR. Vaughn is now
manufacturing and which are begin
ming to be used extensively in hospitals
n by practicing physicians and sur
geons are of IA carats %fineness, these
being as efficient but not as costly as
instruments of the purest grade of the
metal.

An improvement which complexities

This improvement consists of an In

The openings or perforations are such
as to permit of the ready passage of
