winter shelter for stock.

With the approach Of the cold
months as the farmer is making prep
arations for his comfort, he should not
forget to similarly provide for the ami
mails on the farm.
Especially young stock demand good,
warm shelter, and this should be pro-
vided for them before the real cold
weather sets in. Warmth to young
animal is equal to moderate amount
Of food.
Animals exposed to the frosts and
storms Of winter are almost sure to
catch cold, If not contract some other
disease that will either enfeeble them
or prove fatal.
Farmers that do not take this matter
into consideration often have animals
take sick and NOPE, and, perhaps, die,
without the fact for a moment being
taken into account that their sickness Is
due to the cruel exposure to which they
have been subjected.
Truly 1t has been said that the merci-
full man is merciful to his beast, and
the man who is not is not only unfit to
have the care Of animals, but deserves
to lose them.

BeiI Air,hip I,unched.

The successful launching of DIR. Alex
ander Graham Bells recently completed
airship took place few days ago at
Baddeck, Nova Scotia. The ship is bulk
up Of 3,050 unit tetahedrons, which are
so disposed as to make the ship itself one
great tetahedron, which has for its base
the top of the machine, 13 meters In
length. The several units are covered on
two Of their sides with silk. The total
surface thus exposed is over 1900 square
feet. The motor used Is of the Curtis
type, four cylinders, 20 horsepower. 1t
weighs 100 pounds, which brings the total
weight of the ship up to 29O pounds.
Owing to a snowstorm in progress at the
time Of launching, no attempt was made
to fly the machine. While DR.. Bell has
great faith in the success of his invention,
he does not assume to have entirely solved
the problem OF aerial flight.

Can Convert Auditorium I'm Few
Minutes Into n Ballroom.
The movable stage which Steele
Mackaye attempted to make feature
of theatrical construction many years
ago Is outdone by the reversible audi
torium floor introduced In a new Apollo
music hall on the Rue de Clichy, Paris.
This device makes 1t possible to change
the parquet into dancing floor in sew
en- minutes.
The floor is reversible. On one side
1t Is fitted with 500 chairs of the usual
folding variety. On the other side 1t
is planked with hard wood, waxed and
polished.
During the performance each night 1t
is pitched at an angle of about Is de-
grees, like the floor of any other the
ater. When the show is over and the
dancing begins it is absolutely level
All who patronize the house will see
the transformation every night. When
the curtain falls the seatholder will be
hustled back into the orchestra circle
and the foyers. Then the mechanism
will work.
The floor, or rather the two floors,
are built ON each side of framework
of steel girders. This Is hung on, piv-
OTIS and when the machinery Is set in
motion 1t simply turns the other side
up-the huge seesaw-it measures about
45x50 feet-stops at the appropriate
angle when 1t Is to be an auditorium
and is secured there by strong sup
ports.
When 1t reaches the level position to
serve as ballroom equally strong sup
ports hold it there and provide for the
safety Of the dancers. When It stops
in either position 1t Ia in immediate
communication with the other parts Of
the house, as all the necessary steps
are attached to it either to reach the
orchestra circle when It Is level or the
stage when 1t is inclined at an angle
Stage and floor are continuous when
used for dancing, the electric footlights
being attached to disappearing frame
work, while section of solid flooring
takes their place.
The entire contrlvance cost $14 900,
Of which $4,000 was spent on the floor
and its mechanism and the rest on the
twenty-seven foot deep brick-lined well
through which the floor revolves.-New

Curing Hams and Shoulders.
AS soon as possible after the meat Is
cold all through, the hams and shoul-
ders should be cured. They should be
placed on table Ia the cellar, skin
side down. Then for every 100 pounds
OF meat make mixture of four pounds
of the best fine salt two ounces of pow
dered saltpeter, and four ounces of
brown sugar. This mixture should be
well rubbed into the hams all over, and
some pushed into hook end around the
bone. Keep on rubbing until the meat

main on the table for week, when the
remainder Of the mixture can be rubbed
In. Allow them to lie for about two
weeks altogether, and then hang up by

For curing in pickle, to one gallon Of
water take one and half pounds of
salt half a pound of sugar. half an

this ratio the pickle can be increased
to enough to cover any amount Of pork.

light, but 1t brought very good price,

Fruit Trees and Grass.

Extended experiments recently con-
1ucted In England have shown clearly
hat fruit trees suffer very materially,
and are often killed outright, when
grass Is allowed to grow under the tree
and close up to the trunk. Various
probable reasons for this effect, such
as the removal Of plant food and Of
water by the grass, also the supposed
liberation Of carbonic acid, which might
prove injurious to the roots Of the
trees, were respectively demonstrated
10 be outside the primary cause of in
Jury, and, finally, after seven years
work, it was concluded that the injuri-
,us effect could only be due to some
poisonous substance formed In the soil
oy the roots of the grass.
On the other hand, it is well-known
Fact that In many instances consider
able difficulty is expressed in obtaining
growth of grass under trees. There
IS distinct evidence that plants produce
.oxic conditions In the substance in
which they grow; as rule the ex-
,retions given off by the roots Of a GER
tain plant are more toxic to the same
Or a nearly related plant than to plants
not SO closely related. The effect of
tree-seedlings on the growth Of wheat
was tested, and after eliminating, as
cause Of injury, such factors as re-
moval of plant Of food or water by the
tree roots, 1t seemed that the roots of
the latter had some direct effect on the
growth of the wheat, which suffered in
all the experiments. The seedlings were
placed in plant pots, hence the roots OF
the tree and those of the wheat plants
we're in close contact.
Trees of various kinds were used In
the experiments, and the retarding In
Huence, although noted in every In
stance, differed In degree; cherry was
least active in checking growth, pine
most so. The conclusion arrived a
was that the effect Of trees on whea
appears to be due to the excretion o.
