THlRTV-FIvE YEARS AGO

George Holmes OF Cove, who with
his family visited relatives here over
Christmas, was among the first to
winter IN this valley. He spent the

were only nine families from the
head OF the canyon in Lower valley
all the way up to upper Prairie
Greek.
Mr. Bramlet kept postoffice' in
Lower Valley, the mail being brought
from Summervihe that far by the
Government. The settlers along Al

Ventilation of the Barn.

The ventilation of barns is a mat
ter which deserves more attention
than it receives, but I will not take
time to go into details. There are
frequently cracks and open spaces
which serve the purpose of ventila-
ton, but which often cause drafts,
resulting in colds, rheumatism and
other ailments. In like manner the
drainage around the barns should be
examined, as bad results often come
from imperfect drainage. Then there
is the watering arrangements. All
horses ought to be watered before and
not after feeding. The horses stom-
ach is comparatively small; it only
contains from seven to nine gallons,
so if you feed him heavily and then
water him, the result will be that
a certain amount of the food will be
washed down into the intestines in an
undigested condition. This is a fire.

bles, and can easily be obviated by

Workmen's Homes in Hungary.

In Budapest the Hungarian Gov
eminent has built 400 houses for
workmen on real estate obtained
from the city at a very low price.
These houses contain 1872 fats; sew
enty-nine have each two rooms and
kitchen, and the others have n
room and kitchen. The rent of these
flats is between 5000 and $500 a
year. The buildings were construct
ed at a cost of 100000.
The imperial Austrian Government
is devoting special attention to the
housing question, and in connection
with the Department of Public Works
has established a special Office for
housing welfare" not only intended
for the masses, but also for State Of
fcials. Lately in the interest Of its
public servants it appropriated $812,-
600 for the building of homes and a
similar amount for houses for work
men employed in mines. The Gov
erment seeks to encourage "house
building" by aiding building socie-
ties. Such an organization, partly
under State control, has been estab-
lished in Reichenberg, which within
a period Of fifteen years has built up
an entire section of this city.-Consu-

Does Liberal FEEDING Pay?

It has been a mooted question,
whether liberal feeding increases the
percentage of fat in milk or merely
the quantity. 1t is popularity sup
posed that it does increase the per-
centage of fat, but some experiments
at experiment stations leave the mat
ter in doubt. Some of the richest
milk ever analysed was from a COW
that had only straw to eat, but she
gave mighty little of it. At the New
York station, in the Ease of a herd
of poorly fed COWS, an abundant "a
ton, easily digested and heterogeneous
In character, and continued through
Two years, resulted in an average in
crease of one-fourth to n per cent.
Of fat in the milk Cor a percentage
;ncrease of about six per cent?. This
was accompanied by an increase of
about fifty per cent. in total amounts

Smallest French Conscript.

There are, as everybody knows
who has seer a French line regiment,
some extremely small soldiers in the
French army. Beyond doubt, how
ever, the most diminutive conscript
who ever drew an unlucky number
from the urn is Julien Touchard, a
young mar born at NAMES, in the
department of Orne, on July 10,
1888. This conscript, who is in his
twenty-frst year, has only attained a
height of three feet two inches. and
weighs exactly forty pounds. On
April 1, when, along with his fellow
conscripts, he appears before the
council of revision for his district,
Julien will appear clad in the short
stockings and belted overalls of an
infant, of which he presents the ply
steal aspect. Though the military au-
thorities are to enroll every available
man, it is hardly like that julien Tou-
chard will be required to shoulder a
rifle. The youngest Of a family of
five children, Julien developed nor
mally until he was vaccinated, at the
age Of seven, after which his growth
entirely ceased. - Correspondence OF

quently all the water will be lost.
The simplest form of filter is to
build a partition through the cistern,
laying up a soft brick wall in cement,
as shown in Fig. I. This will or
dinarily give satisfaction if the i'm
purities which collect on the receiv-
ing side of the wall are removed oc-
casionally. Another and better form
of filter is shown in Fig. 2. In this
case the cut is supposed to repre-
sent a hundred barrel cistern and a
filter of twenty-five barrels capacity.
They are built of either concrete or
brick, we'll cemented on the inside.
The filter is fiat bottomed and is
half filled with charcoal, sand and
gravel in layers, the charcoal being
placed in the bottom. The leader
which comes from the roof should
enter the filter on only a slight angle.
The material in the filter will need
to be removed occasionally and re-
placed with fresh charcoal, sand and
gravel.

be water tight so as to prevent con,

that it leans as far out of the perpen-
dicular as is possible for a house to
lean without tumbling over alto
gether.
It has rejoiced in its peculiar angle
for many years, but it is only quite
recently that the public curiosity has
been aroused in it. Now it Is the
centre of attraction for miles around,
and a favorite place for a drive on
holidays. 1t is about three miles
from Dudley and about the same dis
lance from Wolverhampton, and is
neal Himley Hall, the Stafordshire
seat of the Earl Of Dudley.
The working of the Himley COL
lieries is responsible for the extraor-
, binary attitude of the Glynne Arms.
In fact, the mining s~ubsidences have
played strange tricks with house
property in the Black Country.
1t is said the house owes its name
to the late MT. Gladstone and his
brother-in-law, Mr.. Stephen Glynne,
who jointly carried on in years gone
by an important ironworks in the
n~eighborhood.
The house itself Is of a very un-
%pretentious character, and is built of
red brick. One end is supported by
large stone buttresses. Entering at
the front door, the visitor ascends a
pair of stone steps into a somewhat
wide passage, where the fun begins;
for this passage has been rendered
80 uneven that he who traverses 1t
lurches about from side to side like a
landsman on board ship in a storm.

quail distribution of the salt, and can
be overcome by a second working OF
the butter. Add the proper amount
of salt to the butter, work it about a
third as much as you would if the
working was to be done at once, then
set aside for q few hours until the
salt has dissolved thoroughly and
then complete the working. This
