[ have loved colors, and not flowers;
Their motion not the swallows wings
And wasted more than half my hours
Without the comradeship OF things
How is IL now that / can see
With love and wonder and delight,
The children of the hedge and tree.
The little lords of day and night?
How is 1t that see the roads
No longer with usurping eyes,
A twilight meeting place for toads
A midday mart of butterflies?
I feel in every nudge that huns,
Life fugitive and infinite.
And suddenly the world becomes
A part of me and / of it.

A Hint of Scandal.

In giving the gist of what happened
at the inquest, l have only one ex-
cuse-to recall to the reader the
events of the night of Arnold Arm
strong's murder. Many things had
occurred which were not brought out
at the inquest and some things were
told there that were new to me. AL

BREAK ROCKS
BY BLASTING
Surest Method and One Requiring
Least Explosive Ia to Bore
Hole In Boulder and
lamp Charge.

Prof. Stewart, chief OF the division
of engineering at the Minnesota agri-
cultural college, says that ordinarily
II Is not economical to break rocks
by placing explosives on top of them
IA method requiring very high
grade and large quantity Of dynamite.
In such cases, II the boulder Is hard,
the attempt will often result in fail
ure. The efficiency of this method
may be somewhat increased by laying
the explosive in a depression in the
rock and covering 1t with wet clay.
Another method is to make hole
with a long auger or spade through
the earth to a point under the center
OF the rock, and place the explosive
there, tamping the hole full of dirt
afterward. This method Is much
more satisfactory than the first, though
it many times throws the rock out
of the ground unbroken.
The surest method, and the one
requiring the least explosive, is to
drill hole In the rock and lamp in
the charge with damp CLAY.
The proper plan where large num-
Der of rocks are to be. broken up, is
to do little experimenting. Try each
of these methods, keeping an account
of the time required to prepare the
charge. the cost Of explosive used,
and the results, and from these deter
mine the best method to use with the
rocks in question. With high priced
explosive and cheap labor 1t will or

Too hot irons are used directly on
the material, and this will fade deli

The effect is even worse than strong

BE sure that the article is evenly

empty room. The prisoner escaped down

proved to be Jack Bailey's cuff-button.

Sixteen cows were used in the ex.
periments. They were divided into
two equal lots and were fed. after a
three weeks trial period, upon tim

upon alfalfa hay for the same time.
The object was not to compare the
two lots, but to compare the different

cows, the hay was the only difference
In their diet.
The result was overwhelmingly In

the other eight pounds OF alfalfa hay.
AS in the case of the timothy. the OBJ
iect was to compare the cows In the
same lot.
Alfalfa hay is very much cheaper
feed than bran, but the results were
slightly In favor of the alfalfa hay.
The milk production was higher. al
though the percentage of butter fat
was a trife more when bran was
fed; not enough, however, to bring
the entire yield up to the alfalfa hay
mark. This differs slightly from the
findings of the Tennessee and Penn
sylvania stations, but may be account
ed for by the fact that at Illinois very
choice alfalfa hay was fed.
