Remarkable Sread Baking.

What, we wonder, was the ultlmate
result of an experiment made In
Marylebone, England, in April, lSo4f
Two Frenchmen affirmed their ability
to produce 80 four-pound loaves from
a sack of flour, which at that time pro-
duced only 80 to 100 loaves. The
M%arylebone guardians lent their yak
cry for Il trial. The bread was to
bear chemical tests, and to contain
nothing prejudicial to health, but the
process by which it was made was TO
remain the secret of the two French
men, who offered O demonstration OF
their skill. The experiment was de-
clared at the time to be perfectly sue
cessful. Two sacks of flour, under
seal, were issued by the workhouse au-
thorities. One was worked up by Eng
llsh bakers, and produced 80 loaves,
weighing $50 pounds; the other was
worked up by the French bakers, and
yielded 1874 ~loaves, weighing 52O
pounds. Several scientific men were
present, to "see fair" but not, as may
be guessed, to penetrate the mystery
Of the French bakers.

HORSES FINDING MOST FAVOR
Greatest Weakness in Industry Is
Production of Too Many Gen.
eraI Purpose Animals

The farmer who seeks to find favor
among the horse buyers of today must
produce an animal that is especially
adapted to some particular kind OF
work. He must be q special-purpose
horse, must possess the ability to do
some one kind of work so exception
ally well, by reason of his conforma-
ition, that he is out Of place at any,
thing else.
Perhaps the greatest weakness in
the horse-breeding industry is the pro-
,duction of too many general purpose
horses. This kind Of animal, while
not especially adapted to'any one kind
of work, will do fairly we'll almost any
kind of work, yet from the market
standpoint he Is not a profitable AMI
NAL to breed. The special-purpose
animal, while not costing any more to
feed and raise, win sell in most cases

ILocked.U Up Potash.

About two miles northeast Of Su-
perior, Wyoming, are the Leucite hills,
which are made up largely of igneous
rocks In the form Of volcanic necks,
sheets intruded into the strat1fed
rocks, and bikes cutting across the
s~edimentary strata Associated with
these intrusive rocks are volcanic cones
and lava flows. These rocks have long
been objects Of scientific interest be-
cause of their unusual character. Late
ly they have attracted additional inter
est by reason of the p~otash-rich min
eral, leucite, they contain, which may
some day be utilized if a process can
be found for extracting the potash
cheaply. 1t has been estimated that
the igneous rock Of the Leucite hills
contains more than 19T,000,000 tons Of
potash.-Bulletin 612, q. S. Geological
Survey.

they are taking grain and roughage
to their full capacity. Cattle cannot
go on to full feed suddenly, for they
cannot adjust themselves hurriedly to
q change in diet. They must therefore
be worked up to full feed gradually,
and so be accustomed to the ration.
This period is often known as the
warming up period, and lasts from
two to six weeks, depending upon
whether the cattle have ever been ac-
customed to any grain. Since this is
q flling-up process, cattle get on to
full feed somewhat moro rapidly when
fed on a ration made up largely Of
roughage material, and not q great
deal of grain. Too much grain ut the
beginning will likely lead to digestive
disturbances from which the cattle re
cover only slowly. Moreover, the cattle
are later more subject to such attacks.
A larger proportion Of steers are
short fed than formerly, principally
because the working margin is mar
rover, and the market does not make
enough difference in price for the de-
gree of finish put upon the cattle to
warrant the longer period. Cheaper
and larger daily gains can be made
during the short period than during
the long period, because, since the ra-
ton can be made heavier and the steer
forced more rapidly, he will not waste
so much of the ration.

Deep-Sea Diving.

eyes, sir; it seems simple enough to
put on a diving dress and go down into
the sea, but I can assure you that it Is
not quite so easy as it looks" said a
deep-sea diver. "The farther n goes
down below the water the greater the
pressure, and, consequently, the labor
and exhaustion of working is greater.
You would probably find 70 feet quite
deep enough for your first dive The
pressure on your head would be so
great that, not being used to it, your
ears and nose might bleed. In diving
the rate Of ascent is important If
the diver is less than so feet below
the surface he can be pulled up two
feet a second with safety; for greater
depths the rate of ascent must be
slower"

SHEEP BUSINESS OF COUNTRY
Generally in Healthy and Prosperous
Condition-More Mutton and
Wool Are Demanded.

The sheep business Of the country
is generally in a very healthy and
prosperous condition. The ranges and
farms are not crowded; in fact, there
is a scarcity Of sheep to supply the de-
mand. Sheep owners find there is as
much clear money in raising sheep
and producing wool at present prices
as there is in most other live stock op-
erations.
The evidences of better bred sheep,
whereby more mutton and wool are
produced, is the argument that counts
in these days. The demand is for
mutton first, then the largest fleece OF
good merchantable wool. The ability
of man to increase both mutton and
wool qualities by selection of breed
ing stock is a plain and workable
proposition.
