—Carelessness in handling pigs is a bad
habit to acquire.
~—Nowadays draft horses must be
matched to sell well.
—Even on cold days hogs should have
plenty of good fresh air.
~The idea that anything is good eno

COWS.
—The best feeds are clover hay, a mix-
ture of oats, wheat bran, linseed-meal
and roots.
—Warmth is half the feed for cows, and
remember that foul air does not keep an
animal warm.

Many 450 oad are the Hoterials p- |
tering into the manufacture of modern
explosives, but perhaps the most inter- |
esting of all these elements of destruc- |
tion as well as the simplest is gun cot- |
ton. The gun cottou manufacturing in- !
ustry is large, as enormous quantities |
used in the charging of torpedoes
similar purposes.
base of gun cotton is pure raw
cotton or even cotton waste, such as is
to clean machinery. This is steep-
ed in a solution of one part of nitric
, itis |
i
mol omar i
ing used merely to absorb all moisture,
thus permitting the nitric acid to com-
bine more readily with the cellulose of
the cotton. |
After being sonked for several hours i
in the solution described the cotton i
is passed between rollers to expel
all nonabsorbed acid, a process carried '
to completion by washing the cotton in |
clear water. This washing process is a
long one, requiring machinery which |
reduces the cotton to a mass resem- |
bling paper pulp. Should any nonab.
sorbed ucid be allowed to remain ft
would decompose the cotton.
If the explosive is to be used after
the manner of powder it is still fur-
ther pulverized and then thoroughly
dried. but if intended for torpedoes ft
is pressed into cakes of various shapes
and sizes—disk shaped, cylindrical, fiat
squares and cubes. When pot com- |
pressed gun cotton is very light, as
light as ordinary batting.
A peculiar characteristic of this ter-
rible explosive is that a brick of it
when wet may be placed on u bed of
hot coals, and as the moisture dries out
the cotton will flake and burn quietly.
If dry originally. however, the gun cot-
ton will explode with terrible force at
about 320 degrees of heat.
In general it is the custom to ex-
plode gun cotton by detonation or an
intense shock instead of by heat. In a
torpedo the explosive charge is wet,
this wet cotton being exploded by |
means of dry cotton in a tube, this |
having been fired by a cap of fulmi- !
nate of mercury, the cap itself having |
been fired by the impact of the torpedo |
against the target.—Harper's Weekly. |

| Probability at Your Age of How Long |
You Will Live. |
After we are dead it probably will
not concern us whether we died at |
twenty or fifty or ninety, but just now |
most of us are intensely interested in |
the matter, and. being average per-
sons in sound health, we can figure out
with certainly just what our chances
are of reaching any particular age,
says Harper's Weekly.
if we are just 20 years of age, our
chances of living to or beyond 30 are
nearly 12 to 1; of living to be 40, 5% |
be 50, 3 to 1; to be GU, 12-3 to
living to be 70 we have less |
1 chance in 214; to be NU, less !
1 chance in 5%. and to be 90, less |
1 chance in 100. |
we have reached 30, our chances |
to reach 40 are nearly 11 to 1: to be!
50, nearly 41: to 1; to be 60, 215 to 1;
to be 70, 4% chances in 10; to be 80, |
1 chance in 5%; to be 90, 1 chance in |
100. :
The average mun of 40 has 8%

birthday, 27% chances to 1 of attaining
60, only 5 chances out of 10 of reach-
ing 70, 1 chance in 5% of reaching 80,
and 1 chance in 100 of becoming 90.
Having been lucky in all the draw-
ings up to fifty years. the average man
has 47% chances to 1 of becoming 60;
to become 70 the chances are 1 to 1
in bis favor; to become 80 he has but 1
chance in § and to become 90 1 chance
in 100.
If already 60 the average citizen has i
2 chances to 1 of becoming 70, 1]
chance in 4 of becoming 80 and i
chance in 66 of reaching 90.
The man of 70 has 3 chances in 8 of
becoming 80 and 1 in 50 of becoming
If one has weathered the storm until
his eightieth birthday he has 1 chance
in 17 of reaching his nineticth mile-
post.
It will be observed that as we get
older our chances of reaching 90 in-
crease greatly.

Aesop's ape, it will be remembered,
wept on passing through a bumanp
graveyard, overcome with sorrow for
its dead ancestors. and that all mon-
keys are willing enough to be more
like us than they are they show by
their mimicry.
An old authority tells that the easiest
way to capture apes is for the hunter
to pretend to shave himself, then to
wash his face, fill the basin with a sort
of birdlime and leave it for the apes
to blind themselves. If the Chinese
story is to be believed the imitative
craze is even more fatal In another
way, for if you shoot one monkey of
a band with a poisoned arrow its neigh-
bor, jealous of so unusual a decoration,
will snatch the arrow from it and stab
itself, only to have it torn away by a
third, until in succession the whole
troop has committed suicide.
In their wild life baboons as well as
many varieties of the monkey tribe
undoubtedly submit to the authority of
recognized leaders. There is co-opera-
tion between them to the extent that
when fighting in company one will go
to the help of another which is hard
pressed.
In rocky ground they roll down stones
upon their enemies, and when making
a raid, as on an orchard which they be-
lieve to be guarded. the attack is con-
ducted on an organized plan, sentries
being posted and scouts thrown out,
while the main body remains in con-
cealment behind until told that the road
is open.
From the fact that the sentries stay
posted throughout the raid. getting for
themselves no share of the plunder, it
has been assumed that there must be
some sort of division of the proceeds
afterward. Man, again, has been dif-
ferentiated from all other creatures as
being a tool using animal, but more
than one kind of monkey takes a stone
in its hand and with it breaks the nuts
which are too hard to be cracked with
the teeth.—London Globe.
Discontent.
“We are never completely happy,”
sald the ready made philosopher.
“Of course not.” said the practical
person. “A boy wishes he were a
man so that he could have all the
mince pie he wants, and a man wishes
he were a boy so that he could digest
it.” —Washington Star,

The Preference.
“My dear,” said the farsecing par
ent, “that young man may be a trifle
tedious, but he is 1 coming man."
“Perhaps he is,” sighed the weary
maiden, “but I'd rather he had more
