HINTS FOR FARMERS
The New sIiIk Cow.

In an address before the Connecticut
Dairy association Professor T. L.
Hacker said:
In the first place COWS should come
fresh in the fall If the calf is dropped
ii the spring, great shortage il the
flow of milk will follow during the
summer, when unfavorable conditions
prevail over which we have little CON
troll. Flies, short pastures and press of
farm work invariably raise havoc with
the flow of milk. and by fall you viii
have lot of Improbable str5ppers 10
board.
If good winter quarters are provided
and a liberal supply of roughage and
some farm grains are grown. with
cows fresh in the fall. a better and
more profitable yield can be secured
With cows in full flow during stall
feeding, there is profit during the win
Ter, even il feed is expensive. Then
we get better prices, and this is an al
ditionaI reason that the largest yield
should be at this season.

Tan CoFored Shoes.

Some people wear tan colored shoes
because it is the fashion, others be-
cause they like them, fashion or no
fashion, and still others because they
are cooler than black shoes. 1t was
for this last reason that they were pro-
duced several years ago by some long
headed manufacturer. They are cooler
because light colors do not absorb the
rays of the sun so much as dark How
ever. shoes that are kept brightly pol
ished, whether they are light or dark
in color, reflect the rays and are there
fore cooler than dusty, unpublished ones.
Besides. polished shoes are neat and
nice; unpublished shoes are ugly and
Indicative of careless personal habits.

Sheep on small Farms.

There is {; prevailing impression that
sheep are only suitable for grazing
upon large areas. writes L. c. Reyn-
olds in National Stockman. 1t is err
roneous and unfounded. There is no
other place better adapted to the pro
duction of sheep products than the
small farms, where the best attention
can be allotted to developing their
highest productivity.
Sheep never do so we'll as when
maintained upon good pasturing areas
ii small flocks. This condition can be
maintained on small farms where a
limited number can be handled and
forced to maximum production.

When TO Canonize.

The proper time to caponize Plym-
outh Rocks is when they weigh two OF
three pounds. although it can be done
at five pounds without losing more
than per cent, while at two pounds
the loss will be from ] to 3 per cent,
depending on the skill Of the operator.
The larger the breed, the better ca
pons it will produce. The ones having
yellow legs are preferable. The Rocks.
WEandottes, Reds or any breeds whose
standard weight is not less than the
Wyandottes will do, the ideal breed,
however, being Plymouth Rock.-Reli-

The smallest sheep in the world is the
tiny Breton sheep. It is too small to
be profitable to raise, for 1T cannot have
much wool, and as for eating, why. II
hungry man could eat almost whole
sheep at a single meal, says the Wash
ington Star.
Any little girl could find room in her
lap for Breton sheep. One Of its Pc
culiarities is its extreme sympathy with
the feelings of its human friends when
it has been brought up in the house as
q pet. If its master or mistress is
pleased about anything the little sheep
will frisk about with every sign of joy.
On the contrary, if tears are being shed
the sympathetic sheep will utter the
most pitiful "ba,a'' ever heard.

An Illuminating Bomb

THE War Department has been making
1 experiments with Illuminating
bomb" so-called, which in reality is not a
bomb at all, but sort OF pyrotechnic con-
trivance attached to shells thrown by rif1ed
guns and mortars.
The bomb is a small cylinder of brass, two
inches in length, which IS screwed into the
base of the projectile. 1t is filled with per-
haps two ounces of composition that burns
with high illuminating power. When the
shell is discharged the explosion of the
powder in the gun ignites fuse attached to
the composition in the cylinder, which is then
consumed with bright light and consider
able smoke
Though the quantity of the mixture in the
cylinder is small, it burns long enough to
last until the projectile strikes the target,
though the latter should be several miles dis
tant. At night its combustion makes bril-
liant spot of flame, which, accompanying the
proiectile, enables the observer to see exactly
the course taken by the shell. In the day.
time the smoke serves an equivalent pur-
pose.
nance officers are taking note of the flight of
projecties, the illuminating bomb seems likely
to prove useful in actual warfare, enabling
the officer in charge OF gun or battery to see
how the shells strike, whether they hit or miss
the object aimed at Thus either by day or
by night, judging by the smoke or by the
flame shown, the range can be judged, the
elevation of the weapon modified, and the aim
adjusted with accuracy, even though the tar
get may be far away.
Recently some attention has been excited
in Europe by experiments with illuminating
bombs Of different kinds, one of which, when
cast among the enemy at night, bursts and

Spider Threads

THE cultivation of certain species of spiders
L solely for the fine threads which they
weave for scientific uses has an important
bearing upon astronomy, the oldest physical
science. No substitute for the spiders thread
has yet been found for bisecting the screw of
the mcrometer used for determining the po-
sitions and motions of the stars. Not only
because of the remarkable fineness of the
threads are they valuable, but because of their
great durable qualities
Recently the set of spider lines in the micro
meter of the transit instrument at the Allie
gheny observatory were examined and found
to be III perfect condition, although they were
placed there about forty-seven years ago. The
threads of certain spiders raised for astronomi-
cal purposes withstand changes in tempera-
lures so that often in measuring sun spots they
are jured when the heat is so great that
the lenses Of the micrometer eye-piece is
cracked.
These spider lines are only one-fifth to one
seventh of thousandth of an inch in diameter
compared to which the threads of the silkworm
are large and clumsy. Each line is made up of
several thousands of microscopic streams of
fluid. Under the most powerful magnifying
glass they appear true and round The work
of placing these lines in the micrometer re-
qures the delicate work of experts, who oper-
ate with the aid of microscopes which magnify
the lines thousand times The lines are
placed parallel with each other and two one
thousandths of an inch apart.

Glass House Construction

THE demand for hollow bricks and building
L blocks for house construction has induced
glass manufacturers to put hollow glass bricks
on the market, and they promise to be used ex-
tensively for novel and artistic effects.
The first glass bricks proved failure on &C
count of Their cost, but the hollow glass bricks
can be made at much less expense. They are
lighter and stronger than clay bricks, and are
such excellent non-conductors that walls built
of them are proof against dampness, sound,
heat, and cold. The bricks are sealed her
medically when hot, and are placed in walls
with colorless mortar made of special glass.
The bonding strength of the glass mortar is al
most great the bricks themselves. For
ornamental friezes, dadoes. string courses, and
facades they are of special value, and ADD
greatly to the artistic effects.
For those who might object to living in glass
houses through whose walls anyone could see,
it should be said that the hollow glass bricks
are made both translucent and opaque. Fur
thermore, the old adage that those who live
in glass houses should refrain from throwing
stones has no application to the modern glass
brick house, for the bricks are made so strong
that an ordinary stone thrown against wall
of them would rebound without cracking any
OF the masonry.

Piping Fresh Air to Cities

THE piping of fresh air to cities is no longer a
L dream of scientists. 1t has been practically
tried, in an experimental way, in the crowded
Whitechapel district of London, under the su-
pervision of Dr. T. G. Lyon, one of London S
most eminent scientists. The air is sucked
into pipes by powerful suction pumps from
some high elevation where the sanitary con-
ditions are perfect and forced into large storage
tanks similar to gas tanks. When stored in
these tanks under pressure the pure air is dis
tributed in pipes leading into different houses.
The air can be distributed through pipes
upward of fifty to one hundred miles in length
without losing any of its purity By opening
a switch the customer gets his daily supply
of fresh air in his rooms while the foul air
is allowed to escape through withdrawal
ducts.
When once installed in city. the supply of
pure mountain ozone can be supplied at little
cost, and the scientists estimate that in the con-
gested quarters of London fifty per cent of the
ordinary sickness could be moderated if not
entirely eliminated.

wool in their tensile strength, but they have
been made with a breaking strength ranging
from eighteen thousand to twenty-eight thou
sand feet. Cotton yarn has an average break
ing strength of from forty-three to forty-seven
thousand feet, dry-spun flax thirty-nine to
forty-one Thousand, rame thirty-seven to
forty thousand, and jute about thirty-two
thousand
But if not so strong as some of the other
yarns, the paper withstands exposure to water
better than jute or flax and when tightly
woven into fabrics offers better protection
from cold winds When combined with wooden
yarns, the paper clothes can be repeatedly
washed without injuring the surface. Owing
to the difference in cost of the raw materials,
sufficient material can be manufactured out of
paper yarns combined with a little wool to
make suit of clothes at a cost of less than three
dollars The spinning of the paper yarns on
ordinary looms Is simple matter.
So far the chief use of the spun paper
fabrics has been for towels. wash cloths, bed
and table linen, and for mattress coverings.
