A -Monatnmeoan FESTIVAL.

Taboots is an Indian FESTIVAL in con-
nection with the celebration OF the
month Of Moharram, which begins the
year Of the true Mohammedan.. This
festival commentaries the death Of
Prince HOssein, the grandson Of Mo-
manned, who met his death in battle
after ten days fighting against King
Omar. The word talbot, from which
the festival takes it's name, means lit
orally tomb, and it is always built
in front of the homes Of some rich
and important Mohammedans and un-
der a temporary shed built for this
purpose. The taboots are made from
thin bamboo strips covered with high
~ colored paper, and it is always dec
GRATED with isinglass, gold and silver
paper, glass balls and much red and
green paint. On the ninth day of the
festival Of Iaboots the taboots are car
ried in q possession through the streets
Of the various cities in India. On the
tenth day all the taboots are thrown
into some siver. and thus ends the
Mohammedan festival Of Taboots.-

Tolerance" In Coins.

The mint allows a certain degree Of
tolerance in coins. For example, the
gold double eagles standard weight is
SIG grains. and the tolerance" allowed
is half grain. A coin of this demon
ination may weigh as little as 515113
grains or as much as 5161a grains, but
never less than the first nor more
than the second figure. The standard
weight Of the silver half dollar is 1929
grains, and the tolerance allowed is is
grains. This coin may weigh as little
as 1914 grains and as much as 1914
grains. but never less than the first
nor more than the second figure. The
standard fineness Of all gold and silver
coins is 900. In the gold coins devia-
ton Of only one one-thousandth from
this Is allowed and in the silver coins
Of only three one-thousandth. The so
called five cent nickel coin is really
only rs per cent nickel, the rest being
copper. One cent pieces are 95 per
cent copper and per cent tin and
zinc.-Philadelphia Record.

Primitive Fire fiohters,

AS late as the end of the sixteenth
century in London the sole method Of
extinguishing fires was by means of
contrivances known as hand squirts."
These were usually made of brass.
with carrying capacity ranging from
two to four quarts of water. The two
quart ''squirts" were two and half
feet in length. one and half inches in
diameter at their largest part and but
half an inch ut the nozzle. On each
side were handles, and three men were
required to manipulate ''squirt."
One man on each side grasped the ham
die in one hand and the nozzle in the
other, while the third man worked the
piston or plunger, drawing it out while
the nozzle was immersed in supply
of water which filled the cylinder.
The bearers then elevated the nozzle.
when the other pushed in the plunger,
the skill of the former being employed
in directing the stream of water upon
the fire. Such primitive contrivances
are said to have been used during the
great fire of 1866.

Odd Shavjnu Habits.

1t is said that of men who shave
themselves not one in fifty can use the
razor with both hands. and to this
may be added other curious facts
about the shaving habits of the aver
age man. .':.-.
There is the president of a trust
company In New York who. he tells
his friends, always shaves himself
standing in a corner Of the room and
facing the wall. He was poor coun.
try boy and, like most boys, bought
razor on the sly. There was no mir
ror in his bedroom and rather than
let his people know what he was about
he faced the wall and scraped away
by sense of feeling Once accustomed
to this method he never needed glass.
There Is United States senator,
formerly farmer. who for many
years shaved himself sitting on milk
ing stool and looking at his reflection
in a bucket of water. That was what
he did as boy and man on the farm,
and he says that he couldn't shave
standing up.-New York Tribune.

herd, it is important that something
be known of the records of his ances-

of the stack is carried up straight,
giving it the same diameter all the
way up. The bundles are laid in
courses, as in stacking grain, with
but very little tapping of the courses,
the idea being to keep the top of the
stack almost level while being built.
In the courses, the bundles are
crowded as closely together as posi-
BILE, and all tangled stalks are straight
ened out. This is essential in order
that there may be as complete an ex-
cluslon of air as possible. To further
exclude the air, it is advisable to
carry the stack up to height of fiji
teen or more feet, as all additional
height increases the weight and con-
sequently the compactness of the low.
er portion of the stack. AS soon as
the stack has reached height where
the bundles cannot conveniently be
handled by hand, derrick or stacker
should be used.

upright as possible, and to keep it
evenly tramped and packed, in order
that it will not lean and cause trouble

beef herds are headed by sires that do
not even possess the individual merit
of the COWS in the herd. Under such
system of breeding, it is impossible
to improve the farm herd The aim
of every farmer should be to select
good individual sire to head his herd.
1t may seem like quite an item of ex-
pense to purchase a good sire, but
when we stop to consider the i'm
provement that will be brought about
by such a system of breeding it GER
tainly should be given due considera-
tiOn.
In selecting the sire for a dairy

at convenient places locate, in ver-
tical position, three or four poles to
serve as guides in getting the stack
perfectly straight up and down.
After the stack is of the desired
height, it is covered to a depth of six
to eight inches with some freshly-cut
grass and then weighted.
In weighing the stack, few poles
are laid parallel across the top, and
then more poles and boards laid
across them. Upon the top of this
there are added few tons of rock,
old iron, stumps, or in fact anything
that will give good weight.
There is patented a device for pro.
ducing the pressure by means of TIM
bers, ropes and pulleys, but it is not
in very general use, as it needs to be
frightened up frequently the first few
weeks.
The outside of the stack will spoil,
more or less, to depth of twelve to
fifteen inches; but, as the stack is
taken down, this is cut away with an
ak or hay-knife, and thrown out for
the stock to pick over. There is very
little freezing on the the top, but the
hay covering is usually kept on top
and rolled back as the top is taken
down.
The silage produced does not have
quite as good color as silage from a
silo, but in quality it is apparently
as good. Being an uncut silage, it is
not handled as easily, and there are
some of the coarser butts that are not
eaten.

roughage, and those having the silo
are indeed fortunate.
However there are few farmers that
have silos, and very few who are in
position to build them. To these we
would commend for consideration
practice that, in some localities, is in
quite general use. We refer to the
method of stacking green corn in such
a way that it produces a good silage.
Last winter, the writer, in company
with others, had the privilege of Wis
iting and Investigating the use of sew
eral silage stacks near Mcintosh,
Mimi. We found the farmers we'll sat-
isfied with the method, and much in
favor of it, when compared to the
stacking Of the cured fodder, or the
worse method of permitting it to re-
main in the field until needed.
The corn is grown and harvested in
the same manner as for the silo.
Care should be taken to have it we'll
bound in medium sized bundles, and
not to permit 1t to lie in the field
very long before it is put into the
stack; preferably not to exceed twen-
ty-four hours. Rain or dew on the
bundles will do no harm; and if they
should become at all dry, they should
be wet with water in the stack
The stack should be located near
the place where it is to be used, to
simplify handling the silage as much
as possible. The real success of the
method depends great deal upon how
the stack is built. Those investigated
