How on earth could Yazimoto know

And even If he had managed to cling

we can't even understand. One time

Carrots should be raised in quanti-
ties whenever possible as they are a
very valuable addition to the feed in
making it palatable. They require
light, sandy soil and with little culti-
walton produce large crops.
Linseed meal in small quantities
once or twice a week keeps horses in
fine condition.
Last winter we saw a bunch of S5
steers being fed on a farm near
Aurora. III. These cattle stood in a
large lot on the side of hill In mud
up to their knees. The barn and all
its surroundings were as filthy as
could be imagined, and we were not
surprised when the owner, looking
gloomily over his cattle, remarked: Il
never seemed to hit off steer feeding
to any great advantage"
Heavily timbered land does not
make good feeding ground for cattle
because the sun cannot dry out the
ground as quickly as an open lot.
The best feeding shed for cattle is
one that is wind-tight on the north.
east and west and entirely open on
the south.
OF course a paved feed lot is an
expensive proposition at the start, but
we believe that on a reasonable cost
the profit will more than justify the
expense. Even If a man cannot afford
to pave his feed lot he can drain it
with tiling and by the addition of
gravel, and small. smooth stones i'm
prove its condition at very small cost
Oats make an ideal feed for the
lamb during the winter, but he needs
about only a pound day to keep in
fine condition. In addition he must
have clover hay or alfalfa or corn fod-
der and turnips and other roots at
least three times q week.
A very handy wheelbarrow for the
feed lot can be made of either wood
or iron. The frame should be very
strong. but not heavy. Iron makes a
strong frame and very light 1t can
be made in four sections and bolted
together. The iron hoop should be
made of one-eighth inch iron and is
of a size to admit common -four
barrel up to the second row of hoops.
The barrel can easily be put In and
taken out. The wheel should be made
Of wood with very broad tire, not
less than three inches, and four inches
would be better. If the frame is made
OF iron, the handles can be made of
wood and bolted on. Wood is better
for this purpose.
Do you know that some OF the
smaller packing houses which cater
to first class trade at home and
abroad will not buy swill-fed hogs at
any cost? They want animals that are
fed on clean corn, roughage, roots and
water
We do not think much Of the skim
milk that comes from the creameries
for feeding hogs. In many Of these
creameries. washing powders are used
for cleaning the machinery, and this
Is very Injurious to hogs.

numerical text form that will make
it transmissible by all telegraphs, with
or without wires. Finally. to effect a
topographic reconstruction of the
image.
"The first thing to do is to cut the
picture up into tiny squares, each one
of which has the tone of the part of
the image in which 1t Is situated
which tone is represented by con-
,ventlonal figure serving for its tele-
graphic transmission. But this process.
which has the Inconvenience of being
slow and uncertain, has been happily
replaced by Mr.. Mortier by the follow
ing. which may be called automatic:
THE picture to be transmitted is
first printed in an enlarged form sus-
ceptible of easy analysis. This ana
lytic print has two valuable properties
first, 1t is naturally cut up by grill
lage of fine lines; secondly. the
squares do not appear as more or
less gray or transparent elements
whose tone cannot be evaluated nu-
merically, nor as groups of points
whose light value can be stated in
numbers only after laborious meas
urement, but rather as black sill
houettes against white ground or vice
versa, of forms so diversified as to
embrace an extended scale of shades
and 30 striking as to be identified at
sight.
These expressive figures arise spon-
taneously in the course of the manipu-
lations, simple enough that turn out
the analytic proof. By what artifces
has 1t been possible SO to discipline
the actinic force of the light that 1t
shall express its own tonalities In
characters more discernible than fig
ures? The zoned cellular transpar-
ency, simple sheet that has been
placed in the printing frame between
the original negative and the sensitive
paper. before the printing of the ana
lytic proof, operates this miracle by
itself alone. At first sight this trans
parent sheet shows simple marking
in squares, but under the microscope
the appearance Of the network gives
place to an arrangement of square
cells of complex structure which re.
produce exactly the typical outlines
of the symbolic silhouettes of the pre-
ceding illustration
After the preparation of the print.

than the simple reading OF page and
