Mineral Wealth Of Illinois.

Illinois has neither silver nor gold,
yet in the year 1905 the actual value
of Illinois mineral products was far
greater than that of either California
or Colorado. This discovery has been
made by the United States geological
survey, which has just compiled its
statistics for the year 1905.
The figures collected show that the
Illinois output was double that Of
California's in value. While Illinois
has neither of the precious metals
above mentioned. it produces vast
quantities of cement, clay, coal, pig
iron, stone, lead and zinc, which are
worth much silver and gold in the
worlds markets. Tie sum total of the
output Of Illinois was $1O5,0G5,567 of
California $43,40G,::5S and of Colorado
$5O,2SO,944.

YELLOW AND BLACK PEARLS.

Novelties In Jewelry That Appeal to
English Women.
There are some gems of which wom-
en- never grow tired or never can
suhicient--of these the diamond and
the pearl rank among the first favor
ties. The latter, however, is the most
sought after, and the craze for strings
Of perfect pearls Is ever on the in
crease.
Ael!ow and black pearls are also
much appreciated. So much has this
craze taken hold of the fashionable
woman that the jewelers. have pre-
pared most tasteful little jewel caskets
to hold one, two or three of these
gems, with birthday wishes complete
says the London Tribune.
The large gold safety pin brooch
with large colored stone in the CEN
ter is also very general, Turquoise,
rubies, amethysts and topaz being
chosen according to the tons of the
gown worn. These pins are also sold
in graduated sizes for the front of
blouses instead of buttons.
Purses in platinum, gold and silver
follow the modes of checks and stripes,
and are so cleverly made that they
have the appearance of a tissue, even
to the flexible fringes at the bottom.
Tiny purses are being made in gold in
the shape of a small tobacco pouch
with a shamrock leaf in diamonds or
pearls-also crest or monogram, in col
ored stones on the outside.

4 SHEEP FEEDING RACK

Sheep are peculiarly sensitive and
will quickly object to feed that has be-
come tainted by coming in contact
with their feet or droppings. This. of
course, may be governed somewhat
by their degree. of hunger, but no
sheep will fatten on feed which it con-
sumes reluctantly. The too common
practice of many sheepmen, and es-
pecially range men, Of feeding their
flocks on the ground is to be con-
demned. For feeding hay or other
roughage, this method may be partial
" successful In arid or semi.arid re.
gions. but wherever the ground be-
comes muddy, or befouled with the
excrement Of animals 1t will be found
to be wasteful and expensive. The
system Of ground feeding precludes
the general use Of such foods as oats
and mill feed. ss.

Peculiar Arctic Phenomena,

One of the peculiar phenomena of
the arctic regions is sea smoke Ex-
plorers tell of a steam as if from a
boiling kettle which rises from the
water when the temperature is Is de-
grees below zero. At 40 degrees the
snow and human bodies emit this va
por, which changes into tiny icy parti-
cles which fill the air and make light
noise like the rustic of silk At 40 de-
grees tree trunks burst with loud re-
port, rocks break up and streams of
smoking water flow from great cracks
in the earth's surface, knives break in
cutting butter and lighted cigars go
out by contact with the ice upon the
beard.

LOCATING THE
FARM BUILDINGS

It sometimes is a difficult problem
to arrange. the location of all the barn
buildings so that they will be conven-
lent for doing chores the whole year
round. And the greatest trouble is on
most farms, that one or more of the
older buildings are in the way of work
ing out the best plan.
Nearly all dairymen have grown into
the business and had very little ready
money to build fine and commodious
GARY barn at the outset. Some old
barn or stable was remodeled tempo
rarily and sometimes used much long
er than expected. Then, when the
large, new basement barn was con-
structed, it was put one side so as not
to disturb the old buildings. This is
frequently mistake. In these days
it does not cost so very much to move
any old building, no matter how large
or uneven the ground, And when the
new barn is built it should be located
in the best and most available posi-
ton, and any old structure moved, if
in the way. Almost every section of
the country has building mover, and
with heavy jacks, roller and horse
power windlass it makes an old barn
get going in short order.
In order to have a basement it is
hot necessary to select side hill or
slope. Some of the best barns in the
country are on perfectly level ground.
And the best Easements were timber
or plank frames, though stone wall
is all right for the back side, If plenty
of windows can be provided.
If the stills under the old barn are
rotten in various places, then jack the
building up high enough to insert new
stills underneath. Spike heavy plank

ing on each side of the posts that are
mortised so as to hold them llgidly to.
gether, using No. 40 wire spike nails.
Before moving, go over tie whole
frame and see if the pins are holding
the lemons firmly into mortises. If
any are weak, then nail short pieces of
Dlanking across on both sides. It is
surprising how much stronger the
frame is after such treatment. In NOV
ing, the rollers should be kept levelled
up as evenly as possible so as not to
rack the building more than absolutely
necessary.
The kind of a barn frame that will
best stand cyclone is the one that
never makes the sudden and informal
acquaintance of such a violent wind
twister. The best plan is to build a
strong frame anyway and trust to- Pro
violence that the cyclone will pass by
on the other side. Pay little attention
to any claim that a certain kind of
construction may be cyclone proof.
Some years ago barn was torn down
that had been rigidly ,braced in every
conceivable manner. 1t also had long
and heavy wood anchor rods running
through the stills and buried deep down
in the stone foundation. Still it was
of no avail when the cyclone came
along.

Ostrich Farming in South Africa.

Nineteen permits to capture os-
triches for domestication and farming
purposes were issued during the year.
These permitted the capture of 943 os-
triches.

wagon. II cut silage is fed, it should
be put in first, as it will fall through
the rack into the troughs. After the
silage is thus properly distributed,
the racks can be filled with hay.
Twelve to fourteen feet is a good
length to build such racks. The frame
can be made Of 2x4 inch lumber. A
2x4 inch scantling runs lengthwise in
the centre of the rack and is framed
to the bottom cross piece. To this is
nailed on each side at the bottom a
1xS inch strip for the troughs to rest
on. The Stats can be made out of 2
1-2x7-S inch stuff placed 2k inches
apart. For outdoor use in wet eli.
mate the racks should be rooted,
though it is not necessary where the
rainfall is light. A Y inch strip should
be nailed to the caves. so as to pre-
vent the water from dripping in the
feed or on the sheep while eating.

sunfIower as a Eehrifuoe.

The common sunf1ower, a native OF
Peru and Mexico. is gaining favor in
parts of Europe as febrifuge. In Rus
STA, where the plant is extensively
cultivated for it's edible seeds and its
oily, fever patients sleep upon the beds
of sunflower leaves. and a Russian
physician experimenting with 100 chill
dren between month and twelve
years of age has found thac alcoholic
extracts of the leaves and flowers cure
fever as speedily as quinine.

Treatment for Dry Murrain.-Dry
murrain is a form of indigestion and
is attributable to several causes, such
as dry feeding, dry grass in summer,
overdriving, redwater, etc. We find
this to occur often twice a year, in
spring and fall. The following is rec
commended: One pound epson salts,
one-half pound common salt, one
ounce ginger, one ounce jalap, one
pound molasses. In case of redwater
the following is a good remedy: Give
one dram Of carbolic acid and one
ounce Of linseed oil.

How some ships Are Lost.

The loss Of many English fishing
boats is now said to be due to the fac.
that the helmsman often carries spe-
cially forged fisherman's knife. These
knives possess strong magnetic prop
critics, and will defect a compass nee
die two or three points. This means
that the helmsman may be apparently
steaming true course, but is in real
lty much out Of the way. SKI I.
