WHERE DO THE PENS GO? They re Miado at the Rale of 400 Per Minute. S a pin and pick It up: All the daj you'll bare good luck. This commonest of all toilet articles. the pin, is a child of olden times. Pos sibly the earliest known pin was the thorn with which doubtless Aiotuer tve Dinned her dress of fig leaves together The little verse at the head of this article is known to nearly every little jjtrl or boy in the land, and perhaps the author of the little couplet was some thrifty housewife who realized that pins disapvar very rapidly and who thought she had a chance to apjwai to supersti tion for tbriltiness. Where the pins all eo to is a wonder. Millions of them disappear daily aud millions are made to take their rfilace. The books toll us that pins are coeval with the human race, and were first in troduced into England in 1400. The iin became of such importance that in 14S3 its importation w;is prohibited by statue in Eneland. In lo40 tven Catlierine received pins from FisUce, and in 1.743 an act was passed providing that "no person shall put to sale any pinnes but only such as shall lo double- beaded and have me neaus soiaerca last to the shank of the pinnes, well smoothed, the shaft well shapen, the poiuts well and round filed, canted, and sharpened." As now, pins were made of brass, but thev were very different from the pins of to-day. Instead of the pin being made entirely of one piece, as now, it was then made of a shank of one piece and the head was a piece of fine w ire wound round the shank. In l"o the attention of the colonists was called to the manufacture of pins and needles, as prizes were offered for the first of native make, but the sue cessful manufacture of pins in this ronntrv wasn't known until 1830, al though in 1SJ4 Iemuel W. Wright, an American, secured in England a patent for a pin making machine. The growth has been steady, and to day pins are made by the ton in Eng land and America After the invention of Mr. Wright's machine the price fell enormously ami the demand increased, for right after the War of 1812 the price had gone away up. There is still an importation annually from England, but a great many are manufactured in Massachusetts. A news reporter recentlylweut out to the Toledo I'm Factory to learn some thing more about the pointed little arti cle. Jumping off the street-car just beyond the wagon-works, the reporter walked down the street and passed two large buildings lit up with electric light. The manager was found in the office. 'I want to find out all I can about Pins for the benefit of all our read ers. " said the reporter. "How u any do you make here and where do they go?!' "In those two factories you just pass ed we make 5,000,000 pins per day. and we sell them uearlv all west of the Ohio Kiver. In Chicago we sell 1,000,000 pins dailv. and the rest go to St. Louis, Kansas Citv, Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Cleveland, t. Paul, Minne apolis, and other cities. We have been running two years and are now running twelve and one-half hours daily, work ing fifty-two or fifty-three hands. As for pins, however, here comes the great est pin man in America, and he can tell you what you want to know Mr. Fon taine, here" is a news reporter who wants to know something about pins," Mr. Fontaine is the inventor of the celebrated Fontajre engine, all the machinery in wh.u the pins at the To ledo factory are made, also of the new railroad crossings, that is to revolution ize the entire system. In response to a question he said: "The manufacture of pins in this coun try began really about 1S34 when they made pins at the rate of thirty ier min ute, for it wao in that year that Dr. Howe, a Yauke.- of Waterbury, Conn., invented the solid-headed pin. Before that the head had been merely a little wire rolL Naturally, Dr. Howe's in vention revolutionized the manufacture Of rins and the business grew. The improvements since then have been in increasing the facilities for making pins faster. Brass wire is used in good pins, tut in cheaper goods steel wiae is used. The difference between now and 1S34 is that we can now make pins at the rate of 400 ier minute. This is the fastest work done in the making. They are stuck in the paper though at the rate of 2,700 per minute; that is, each ma chine works tliat fast. So you see pins are handled very rapidly." " You say there is still an importation of English iiinsV" "Yes, but not lcause the quality is any tetter. The duty is JO per cent, but even if that duty were removed they couldn't bring pins here and sell them as cheap as we can. The English Dins are no better than the American article, but are in the old-fogy style, The reason they sell is because they are Enclish." "l es, said the manager, "the women want something English, a woman went into a store recently and asked lor pins she was handed a paper with an American brand. She handed them back, saying she wanted the English. The clerk handed her a paper marked 'Crown Jewel,1 and she iaid 15 cents for them and went away happy. The joke of it is that the 'Crown Jewel' pins come from the same barrel mat uie others did. We have to fix the brand to suit them. The same pins in the other iper would liave cost her eight cents, and there were 300 pins in the Daoer. while there were but 300 in the 'Crown Jewel.'" "That's true said the traveling-man w ho stood back of the desk. "Here is a box of pins which bears the English toat-of-arms. Nothing in here to Indi cate that the pins are manufactured in Toledo. The ladies have to have the English goods, you see, even if we manu facture them right herein loleiio." "Bv the way," said the manager, "how do those pins sell since we call them tire tJueen's Own'?" "Much better," replied the traveling- man; "there is a greater demand lot them."

In tho midsi of the harvest of grain, and gra-s, and tubers, we must not forget the compost heap, in which we garuer aad j store the unsowed crops or a fature season. The saying that "anything that grows in one summer will rot bo fore the next," la a safe guide in col lecting vegetable matter for the eom post heap. When sods, muck and weeds form a part of the heap, .it is not alone the material which we are assidu ous in collecting, and put into the heap, that constitutes its whole value. The fermentation induced by the dung an4 liquid manure, and the actiou of the lime or ashes added, work upon tfae earth, adhering to the roots of the weeds, and forming a considerable part of both sods and muck, and develop an idmirable quality of plant food. Ilnc this element of the compost heap, which is generally overlooked as possessiue any special value, should never be wanting. It has, moreover, its own jfluces to perform, in promoting decay, n the formation of humus, and ia pre serving, locking up, aud holding on t i raluable ingredients of plant food. The sompost heap should always be laid in ?ven layers, and each layer should go over the entire heap, for thus only can anal uniformity be bad. We do not mean siecial-purpose composts, but those made for general farm crops. It would be well if every 'particle of dung, liquid manure, straw, litter, leaves. weeds, etc. could be worked together into uniform fine compost, and there is really no substantial reason why this should not be done. The gardener would plead for certain special composts, It might perhaps be well to make a ?i.- ;ial hen-manure comport for corn in the bill, and taking the general c.nnirct as a basis, to make one for turnips, by the addition of a large percentage of bone dust. All this may be done establish once the rule to compost everything of manurial value, and we have in pros pect an abundance of farm-made fertil izers at all times, and for all crops victory over weeds, a good p'ace for de composable trash of all kinds, a sacrtu burial ground for all minor animals and poultry, whose precincts need never be invaded. There will besides be no stagnating pool in the barn-yard, for all liquids will go to the tank, to be pump ed over the compost heais no nasty, slumpy barn-yard, for everything will be daily gathered for the growing com post heap, and the harvest of the ma nure crop, and its increase day by day. ill the year round, will be a source of oustant pleasure to master and men What Skiji Milk is Worth to Feed. Professor II. P. Armsby, for- merely of the Storrs Agricultural School, at Mansfield. Conn., is now at Wisconsin University and Experiment Station as Professor of Agricultural Chemistry. The first station bullet iu details experiment made to ascertain the feeding value of sfeiin milk. When the milk and corn meal were fed sepa rately to 3-months-old pigs it required an average of 1900 pounds of milk or 4(0 pounds of meal to make a gain of 100 pounds in live weight. When milk and "meal were fed together one lot of pigs required 130 pounds of meal and CSJ pounds of milk or 100 pouads of growth-; with meal at 1 per cwt. and pork at 5c. alive, tui:k fed in this way would be worth 54c. per cwt. Another lot required 200 pounds of meal and 330 pounds of milk to gain 100 pounds in live weight With the same prices as above the milk in this case was worth 90c, per cwt. In another experiment, 90') pounds of mi'k and 9C of meal pro duced loO pounds growth, making the milk worth 40c per cwt. Tueie exper ments show that in the most economical fet ding a large amount of meal should be fed with the milk, because the meal furnishes largely carbhydrates and the milk largely protein. The experiments conclude with the summary that skini- milk skillfully fed is worth half as much per 100 pounds as corn is worth per bushel T. S Cooper, the well-known breed er of dairy cattle, says he never lost cow with milk fever when the following prt-cautions were taken before calving: "Do not feed the cow w.th any grain, and give her only timothy hay (uo clo ver) and water; if fleshy give her wheat straw and nieal instead of hay. Tnree weeks before calving give her, twice a week, one ounce of saltpeter dissolved in cold water, and when you see she is quite near calving, say within two or three hours, give In r li pounds of Ep som salts with a tablesp onf ul of ginger and gentian." I the process of diying grass into bay, most of the volatile oils which give green herbage its delicate flavor and odor are lost. But some farmers have found that putting clover and other grasses in barns while rather green an i mixing with them enough dry straw to absorb moisture, not only preserves the flavor in the bay, but a portion is com municated to the straw, niakirjg it much better for milch cows. It is not impossible that farmers may yet take to sowing sweet vernal grass for the sole purpose of flavoring their winter's supplies of dry hay or straw. Foul foot in cattle is caused by pas turing on land so wet that the hoofs sink into the soil. When it once gets in a herd it is apt to become infectious, and great trouble is often found in get ting rid of it- Powdered vitriol applied after thoroughly cleansiug the foot ii the common remedy. It is harsh, but effectual As boggy land is usually re served for pasturing it is worth while to know that even for this purpose thor ough drainage works marked improve ment. Again, after underdrainlng such land is often the best for grain and root crops. If peach growers will go through their orchards every fall and eramine each tree closely they will find upon many of them gum oozing from the trunks near the ground. By brushing away the gum a small white grub with a black bead will be found drilling bis way through the bark. Kill all of these pests and the trees will not suffer from borers. The early part of Octo ber is the best season for doing this work. Isabella, Catawba and Clinton grapes are said to keep well when pack ed in single layers, in shallow boxes, about two inches in depth.

Mix the whole well with the pestle, then work into the mixture one whole egg and the yelks of three eggs. Pass the whole through a sieve and lastly work a gill of cream into the composition. Take a number of small plain molds, butter them well, cut some truffles in slices, stamp them into any shape you like, and arrange them inside the molds by pressing them against the butter; fill the molds with the above composit ion; then place them in a flat stewpan half full ot water, aud steam them for fifteen to tweuty minutes.

Parsnips, kept in our cellar last winter partially cov ered by a mass of their own leaves to prevent wilting, were in quite as jood condition In April, as those left in the ground through the winter. Those left out begin to grow and make new Burous roots very early in the Spring; and all such growth, like the sprouting of potatoes iu the cellar, injures their luality for the table. The parsnip is a root that Is not appreciated as it should be by farmers in general. It is a very rich vegetable, and is esteemed by many as highly as the potato. Par snips are easily and quickly cooked. either by boiling or baking. They are excellent sliced, or halved lengthwise. ind fried on a buttered griddle.

BciLDrso paper is now used by am ateurs with good effect for decorative purposes. A frieze recently seen had a conventional design which had been ap plied with water, giving it the appear ance of leather.

Some genius who evidently does not believe any farmer should try to own all the land that joins bis homestead, says that "the possession of too much land is the bane of farming in many sections of the country. No one can afford t allow an acre of land to He Idle.

She has, what is better, a systematic ami business-like method ot making herself loot as well as possible. It is a part of her daily life to wear the things which will be come her, and in making selections she is earnest and practical and patient, even If not always artistic She knows her own face and figure better than anybody else and does not deceive her self.

By the end of Au gust the Parisians were able to burn their dead in four crematory furnaces at I'ere la Chaise. The price charged for the burning of a corpse will be 15 franca or say $3. Ti e furnaces weie constructed on plans by M M. U.trrett and Formice according to the Corinl system in use In Home and Milan. It was found that the heat ot the .Siemens furnaces was too intense. Instead of reducing the corpse to ashes it subjected it to a kind of vitritlcation. The cost, too, would be 2U) francs, instead of 15 francs, to cremate with a Siemens furnace. Sculptors, goldsmiths and bronze-casters are already busy design ing urns, of which an assortment in marble, bronze, golJ, silver, zinc and lead will be kept at an office of the cre matory. The relatives of the cremate J dead can buy thes vessels and cause them to be removed to family vaults or to a building which the city of l'aris is to erect. According to the calculations made by a sc.entltlc writer lately, it requires a prodigious amount of vegetable mat ter to form a layer of coal, the estimate being that it would really take 1.0O0.UO0 years to form a coal bed 1U0 feet thick. The United States has an area of be tween 300,000 and 400,000 square miles of coal fields, 100,000,000 millions tons of coal being mined from these fields in one year, or enough to run a rin,r around Uie earth at the equator 5 feet wide and 5 feet thick, the quantity being sufficient to supply the whole world for a period of 1500 to 2000 years.
