I noticed my stonemason would take
q drill twelve inches long ana three
quarters Of an inch in diameter and,
with a two or three pound hammer
mounted on a twenty inch handle, drill
a hole six inches deep In the bowlder
in a few minutes, depending on the
hardness of the stone. Then along the
same seam Of the rock another hole
was drilled, and perhaps another and
another. these holes being about six
inches apart.
Half rounds and wedge were then
inserted in each hole, the wedges gem

Beef and Dairy Cattle.

When dairyman has faced the &C
tual practice Of selling cows from his
herd for beef he will not feel encour-
aged over the outlook Of combining
beef and dairy qualities In the same
herd. There IS q popular prejudice
against eating beef from an old, play
ed out dairy cow, and there Is no adj
vantage In trying to combine the two
qualities in one animal.

CITY MEN FOR FARMS.
Many Would Make Good Hired Hands
If They Had Chance.

Many Would Make Good Hired Hands
If They Had Chance.
Many farmers throughout the coun-
try find it q difficult matter to get
hired hands, while in the great cities
there are thousands Of men opt of
work. The problem OF inducing some
of the down and outs Of city life to go
out on the farms is claiming the atten-
tion Of social students.
A commission Of the New York leg
islature recently has been making an
inquiry into the matter, though 1t has
not taken up the subject extensively.
John Mitchell, the noted labor leader.
was present at one Of the sessions and
made suggestions.
The chief trouble seems to be that
those in the cities who are always
deep in poverty. know nothing of coun-
try life, seldom IL ever having seen
the green fields. They were born to
their conditions and know nothing
else.
Thousands of these men, no doubt.
If they should be taken out and given
jobs on farms would return to the city
as soon as they earned money enough.
That is because the city sights and
sounds have become second nature to
them. They would pine for the filth
and furore Of their native element.
But, on the other hand, there is no
doubt that many men in the cities
would welcome a chance to get away
to the country for themselves and
their families and would develop into
excellent farm hands. The problem il
to put these men in touch with farm
ers who need them.

Why Balloon Was Abandoned.

Walter Wellman and his five com.

than that he was somewhat pale and

the reasons for the abandonment OF

Mr.. Wellman surprised his inter

and that the escape OF gas from the

saying that the dirigible had met with
mishaps so serious that the balloon

remained above the sea only a few
hours longer and that her machin
cry had gone awry.
THE equilibrator was our great
trouble" Mr.. Wellman explained. BE

an equilibrator. Now we know that q
