Swedenborg was great deal in Lon

structiOn now, report says that
far more progress is being made
than was done during the civilian
regime. And there is far less
talking by the men who are do
ing the work, and there is no
posing before the camera. Dur
ing the administration of the ci-
villains the country quickly got
familiar with the pictures of
Wallace, Stevens, Shonts and the
others, but nobody outside of the
canal zone knows what the pres
ent head of the constructive for
ces looks like, and very few know
his name. He attends strictly to
business, and the newspapers get
no chance to mention him.
Still, it may be possible for the
president and Congress to devise
means to hurry up the work of
canal building, by strengthening
the hands of the army officers
who are in charge of affairs. If
this can be done the country
wants it to be done. The fact
that the fleet for the Pacific will
have to sail 5000 miles to reach
a point which could be reached
in 5000 if the canal were COM
pleted is an eloquent reminder
that that shortcut ought to be
pushed with all possible speed.
The country is spending a good
deal of money in canal building
but it is willing to spend more if
the additional outlay will bring
completion a year or two earlier.
The Panama issue is one of the
most interesting questions which
will come before Congress this
winter. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

GOLD AND GILT.
Two Cows That Differed Greatly In
the Making of Milk.

Two Cows That Differed Greatly In
the Making of Milk.
There is no other or easier way to
find out the accurate production of
each COW than to weigh and test the
milk of each separately. At the Illi-
nois agricultural experiment station
are two cows, Gold and Gilt, the story
of whose work is well worth telling.
All the milk of these cows has been
weighed and tested for three years. A
record has been kept of every pound
of feed consumed by each animal, both
summer and winter.
Each year Gold produced on the
average 1890 pounds of milk con-
tanning 405 pounds of butter fat, but
during the same time Gilt averaged
only 1880 pounds of milk with 1888
pounds of butter fat.
These cows are both cared for In the
same way. They We're given the same
kinds of feed and allowed to eat all
they wanted. Gold ate One-half more
than Gilt, but produced nearly three
times as much milk.
Equal amounts of feed made in the
one case 1888 pounds of butter fat and
in the other 100 pounds. The one COW
produced nearly twice as much as the
other from exactly the same feed in
kind and amount.
Counting the butter fat at % cents
per pound and taking out the exact
cost of feed in each case, the one COW
brought in profit of $3459, while the
other lacked $5.G2 of paying for her
board at market prices Of feed each

Six per cent of the butter fat is lost
when 1t comes to the churning If the
cream is permitted to become too sour.
The fat is not destroyed in some mys-
terious way, but it simply fails to come
out of the buttermilk,
Any considerable amount of muscu-
lar exercise by cow giving milk must
tend to diminish the quantity and
quality of the milk produced or at
least diminish the total amount Of
these constituents Of the product.
In the dairy especially it is essential
to have the best stock that can be
produced and that are adapted to the
purpose for which they are kept, The
high grade butter COW will not only
give more and better butter than the
COW of no breed, but she will do 1t at a
less cost.
When churning proceeds too rapidly
as result of too high temperature
only part Of the fat is solidif1ed and
the balance or part of it is incorporat-
ed with it in an oily state; hence the
reason why such butter is always soft
and greasy.-Farm Moneymaker.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Sheep and Wolf Is a Lively Game For
Out of Doors.

Tear a piece of paper into az
many pieces as there are players,
and on each piece write some num-
Der representing an hour of the day.
AS there are only twelve hours there
can be only twelve numbers, but if
more than twelve are playing yor
can make some of the numbers half
hours until there is the required
amount.
On one piece mark a cross and
then shake all the numbers in a hat,
each player drawing one out. The
one who gets the slip with the cross
on it is 'it," or the "wolf," while
the others players are called sheep.
A ring is then formed by the
sheep, the wolf standing in the mid
die. The sheep then call out,
"What time will you dine tonight,
old wolff" and Mr.. Wolf calls out
any hours he happens to think Of.
The sheep then who holds the slip
corresponding to the number called
by the wolf starts to run. If he
can get around the ring three times
before being caught by the wolf
he is safe; if not, he must be wolf.
The game keeps up until all have
had their turn at being wolf, and
this does not take long, for the wolf
is not supposed to call the same
number twice.

MINERALS OF OHIO,.
The States Remarkable Display
at the Jamestown Exposition.
A GRAND POTTERY EXHIBIT.

Vellum Glaze From the Rookwood and
Objects Of Art From Other Famous
Works-WonderfuI Achievements In
Glass and China-The Coal Column.
The Ohio mineral exhibit comprises
not only an adequate display Of the
raw materials, such as fuels, clays and
stones, but also the great variety of
products made from these The prom
inence of Ohio in these industries Is
further shown by numerous maps,
charts and diagrams. The minerals
are shown in large bottles and In
cases. Salt, lime oil, iron ore, calcium
chloride, gypsum and a full collection
Of OhiO's clays are thus displayed.
There are also over fifty fine speci-
mems of building stone on exhibition.
These include llmestOnes, sandstones
and freestones. The we'll known Be-
rea grindstones are shown.
Attention is drawn to Ohio as a coal
producing state by a large pyramid of
coal, together with numerous charts,
ohO" ms lhC NdluC
and composition.
The fact that Ohio Is justly entitled
to pre-eminence as clay producing
state is given strong emphasis AS the
difference between the very best and
ordinary clays is not usually apparent,
even to the trained clay worker, by OBJ
servation alone an deliberately crude
clay exhibit would be of small popular
benefit, so the diversity and excellence
Of Ohio's clays are shown by the wide
range and uniform excellence of the
clay products.
Something over 100 panels Of Ohio
facing brick from numerous firms and
of all shades and finishes occupy one
whole side Of the space. Each panel
Is of sufficient size to show the wall
effect of the brick. A most artistic
balustrade of terra Gotta surrounds the
entire Ohio exhibit 1t consists of a
beautiful scroll with an appropriate
cap, finished in dull brown and
green glaze. A large pyramid of the
cruder forms of pottery occupies the
center of the space.
