made a net gain of but 5000 new

MARBLE LIGHTS ARE BEST
German Inventors Patent New System
of illumination That Is
Like Day.

Berlin.-Patents have just been
taken out for using marble instead of
glass in lamps, which has the effect of
making the illumination scarcely dis
tinguishable from daylight.
Innumerable experiments have been
made with tinted and patterned types
of glass with the idea OF producing
this effect, but all have been failures.
AS a last resource sheet OF white
marble was planed down until it was
semi-transparent and then deficient in
tensities of light were shown from be.
hind The result was exactly what so
many hundreds of experiments had
failed to produce.
Developing this discovery, the pat
entees have fitted lights to the cornice
Of room with such success that it is
difficult to convince anyone that it is
artificially lighted.

SOME USES FOR SAWDUST

In it's finer forms sawdust is made
of perhaps fifty different woods. and
fnyvarying degrees Of fineness, to be
used for q wide variety of purposes.
But sawdust in all it's forms, coarse
and. fine, has many uses. and common
sawdust is sold in enormous Quanti-
ties.
The sawdust familiar to everybody
rs that which Is gathered from lum-
Der mills and mills In which lumber
Is resawed in manufacturing. This
common sawdust Is used extensively
ON floors to take up dampness in
sweeping, and 1t is used for packing
Bottled goods and for bedding horses,
and in Ice houses. Some sawdusts
are screened at the mills to remove
chips and sticks.
: Sawdust combined with oil Is put
up in packages for use In sweeping
carpets, In place of the old-time scat
tered tea leaves. Sawdust from vari-
GUS non-resinous woods Ia used In
great quantities in the smoking OF
meats. and sawdust in the form OF
pulp is used in the manufacture OF
dynamite.
Sawdusts OF various kinds and col
ors are now used. combined with ce-
ment, in making floors, especially In
hospitals Such floors. made with the
material in a plastic condition, can
lte laid in a single piece, without
cracks or joints, and so made germ
proof, and they are more silent and
easier to the tread than tile.
Among the better kinds of sawdust
some are used for curious common
purposes, as, for instance. one of the
n,ses for Spanish cedar sawdust, which
is very light, is for packing even
chnap chemicals contained in glass
shipped over long distances, and
where weight would count in the
freight cost.
Manufactured satinwood sawdust Is
used in the preparation OF pastel
iboards for drawing purposes. saw

HOW SOME PEOPLE SLEEP

owns the freak cow here pictured.
The animal has four hoofs, each one
of which is no less than twenty-five
inches in length, and so badly twist
ed and contorted that the animal can
only walk with difficulty. When a
calf she developed ungainly hoofs,
(which grew as she became older; and,
though the horny growth was fire.

and again, until at last the owner gave

The skeleton of a mammoth just set
up at Stuttgart is the largest ever dis
covered. Bones were found In the dilu-
vial deposits of the river MUIR, in
Swabia, and months of work since then
have been rewarded by the obtaining
and removal of nearly complete skel-
eton. The great size Is indicated by
the fact that the skull weighs nearly
three-fourths of ton, while the up.
per foreleg is four and one-half feet
long. The specimen is remarkable for
the great length Of the legs, the gen.
eral lightness Of frame. and for the

RELATION OF THE DAIRY FARM
TO PERMANENT AGRICULTURE.

When q man OF practical knowledge
coupled with the trained mind OF an
instructor says that the educational
value OF large dairy show cannot be
estimated to men who are endeavor-
ing TO evolve the highest standards OF
efficiency upon their farms and in their
dairy at the lowest cost Of operation"
there must indeed be great value to
be had from an attendance at the Ma
tional Dairy Show in Chicago this
year.
Professor Kildee OF Iowa Agricul-
tural College is the author of the above
statement and believes that lessons
to be learned by looking over a thou
sand OF the best representatives OF the
leading dairy breeds and the infor-
nation and inspiration gained from
coming in contact with men who are
foremost in the Dairy world, with the
chance to inspect the most modern
in dairy machinery, all leads to sue
cess men who might otherwise blum
der along without getting anywhere.
He says that the profits derived from
dairy farming arc determined by the
following factors: Quantity of milk,
quality OF milk, cost of production, and
The price obtained for your dairy
products.
Thus, it must behoove any man who
Is striving for success to attend this
great educational exhibit, as by COM
parison alone can we measure our
knowledge, and the man who stays
home and plugs along will not get
from his efforts what his neighbor will
extract from his, with more ease. The
mere pleasure of sitting on milk
stool and getting just what milk you
can, won't get you, anywhere. You
must have profitable cows and know
what you are doing all the time.
Every hour spent at the National
Dairy Show at Chicago, during the ten
days OF October cath to November End
next, is adding to your ability TO sue
coed. ADV.
