Horse Power.
A horse power is the force required
to lift a dead weight of 33,000 pounds
cne foot a minute. To find the horse
power of an engine multiply the area
of the piston in inches by the aver-
age steam pressure in pounds per
square inch. Multiply the product by
the travel of the piston in feet per
minute and divide that product by
33,000. If an engine is rated at 73-
horse power it wil raisc 33,000 pounds
one foot 73 times in one minute.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS
How Mrs. Bruce, a Noted Opera
Singer, Escaped an Operation.
Procf That Many Operations
for Ovarian Troubles are Une
necessary.
‘DEAR MRS. PINKHAM : Travelling
for years on the road, with irregular
meals and sleep and damp beds, broke
down my health so completely two
years ago that the physician advised a
complete rest, and when I had gained
sufficient vitality, an operation for
ovarian troubles. Not a very cheerful
prospect, to be sure. I, however, was
advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s
! Vegetable Compound and San=
ative Wash; I did so, fortunately
Before a month had passed I
felt that my general health had im-
proved; in three months more I was
cured, and I have 'been in perfect
health since. I did not lose an engage-
ment or miss a meal.
‘“ Your Vegetable Compound is cer-
tainly wonderful, and well worthy the

Pn cured are ready to give you. I
always speak highly of it, and you

Filtering Milk.
‘When milk is filtered through cotton
no germs enter the milk, as the process
is almost equal to sterilization and fully
so if care is exercised. The main point
is to guard against the odors in the
stable during milking.
Saving Nitrogen in Stables.
Experiments in Europe have proven
that the loss of nitrogen from tha
manure in stables amounts to 63.6 per
cent. where peat was used. In the
sheep shed they found a loss of 50.2
per cent. where straw was used, and
about half as much where peat or
earth was used. Dry earth rich in hu-
mus or vegetable matter is about equal
to peat. A good plan for using them
is to put the earth or peat over the
straw where the manure drops.
The Dust Mulch.
Nearly all will try to keep the weeds
killed in the growing crops, but there
is still as much need of stirring the
soil when there are no weeds. The
soil kept fine and dry by frequent
cultivation has as much effect in pre-
venting the evaporation of the moist-
ure below as would a mulch of straw,
and it has also the advantage of ab-
sorbing. nitrogen; if not from the at-
mosphere, at least that which may be
absorbed by water and brought down
in the rainfall and the fogs. In a dry
time, if there is three inches of firm,
dry soil on the surface, very little
moisture will rise through it, although
it will usually be found that immedi-
ately below that is damp soil, with
more water content than would be
found at the same depth beneath a
soil baked hard on the surface. When
the soil reaches this last condition, the
more quickly it is stirred the better for
the growing crops. — Massachusetts

A Free Range.
On most farms chickens have free
range. A free range for chickens has
its disadvantages, but it is unquestion-
ably the place for rearing chicks with
hardihood. It is on the free range
where strong, vigorous breeding stock
is produced. In speaking of a free
range we are free to say that there
is a vast difference in even a free
range. Nothing will be found any-
where equal to an all over the farm
range for fowls. Flocks that range
alk over the farm are exposed to many
dangers, but these are the ones that
are sought as good breeders when qual-
ity is found there. 3
In addition to the varied diet secured
by such fowls there is obtained that
vigor that alone can come with exer-
cising and rusticating about the farm.
The human being will have his appe-
tite wonderfully improved when he
gets out and commingles with nature.
One who has been running down on ac-
count of sedentery habits will develop
an appetite like a threshing. machine
should he get out and camp, hunt and
fish and take all kinds of open air
exercise. This same kind of ‘develop-
ment is also found in the chick that is
given the same opportunities.—Pouitry |
Farmer.
Quickly Made Cistern For Barn.
Have a cistern that will supply water
on rainy days, at least. This will pre-
vent exposure to the storm. Three bar-
rels mounted in a corner of the barn
as shown in the cut will hold enough
for the stock during all storms, for
while the storm lasts the barrels will
be replenished. A pipe from the gutter
is brought inside the boarding to the
first barrel, and conveyed to a number
of others in the manner shown. A tub,
with faucet, is placed below the last
barrel. This plan is a great advance
over driving stock out in the rain. A
still better plan, on farms where it is
possible, is to bring the water into the
barn by a pipe from a spring or brook.
It may also be brought into the barn
by a pipe laid from a nearby well,
having a pump in the barn. The com-
fort and the saving of time and labor
by having a supply of water thus al-
ways at hand can only be appreciated
by an experience with this conveni-
ence.—New York Tribune farmer.
Developing the Colt.
The future usefulness of the colt,
says J. H. Griswold, of the Canadian
Experiment Station, depends upon
nothing so much as the feed during
the first year of its life. To be useful
in any way a horse must have good
bones, and, above all, good joints.
Bones are built, like the rest of the
body, from the feed consumed by the
young animal, and if the food does not
contain the elements essential to the
growth of bone it is evident that there
will be a weakness in this part of the
organism. The milk from the dam con-
tains a large proportion of the most
necessary mineral substances, such as
lime: but the colt seems to require
much more in a short time, and may
be seen trying occasional mouthfuls
of soil. ;
Probably no materials at the farmer's
disposal contain more mineral or bone
forming material than bran and oats,
and the colt should have plenty of
these and good clover hay from the
Free. Dr. HK. KE GRERN'830US, Bex B, Ataate, és, ; Start. It is quite safe, as a rule, to
Sn
give as much as two quarts of these
concentrates mixed per diem as soon
as the colt can be taught to eat them,
and this may be gradually increased.
The colt's temperament and character
should be closely studied, however,
and the ration gauged accordingly.
These concentrates and clover hay,
being rich in proteine, or flesh-forming
material, induce rapid development of
muscle, sinew and tendon, as well as
bone, and the right kind of feed and
nature will do the rest, so far as bodily
development is concerned.—Michigan
Farmer.
‘Raising Calves by Hand.
At the county council school at New-
ton Rigo, England, the calf is taken
away from the cow as soon as born,
rubbed dry with straw, well bedded
and covered with more straw, and in
half an hour fed a pint of the mother’s
warm milk. For the first and second '
week it is fed three times a day with
its mother’s warm milk, one and a half
pints at a time, increasing to two
quarts the fourth day. The third week
one-half separator skimmilk is substi-
tuted and a half pint linseed soup add-
ed to each quart skimmed. A little hay
is added the next week. The quantity
of milk at each feed is increased to
two and a half quarts skimmilk the !
fifth week and hay is also increased
gradually.
Omit the linseed soup the ninth week
and after the noon feed give a handful
of linseed meal and a little pulped
swedes or turnips (grass in summer)
and hay as before. The noon meal is
omitted the twelfth week and three-
fourths pound linseed meal and
crushed oats and two quarts pulped

A Durable Wagon Bed.
A cheap and durable wagon bed is
made as follows: Take two pieces of
two by four, the length you want your
bed, and .three pieces of three by one !
and a half, as long as the width you
want the bed; thege are for underneath,
one at each end and in the middle,
Bolt together with six bolts one-half by
six inches long. The side pieces may
be any height you want, placed on the
two by four. Put in end and bottom
boards with a rod at each end; bolt
two strips on bottom of bed for cleats
to hold the box in place. A bed of this
kind won’t cost more than $2.90, and
it will save a better bed when it comes
time for rough work. Durability may
be secured by using good hard wood
and plenty of bolts. If the burrs are
loose the bolts should be cut off one-
eighth of an inch from the burr and
riveted so they won’t work off.—David
Stader, in The Epitomist.
Cost of Dairy Products.
In breeding cows for any special
purpose the cost of production must
be carefully considered if profits are to
be realized. Cows cannot be made to
give a large milk flow without good
feeding and a natural tendency to large
yields through inherited traits. A good
system of feeding may easily be adopt-
ed, and the results be obtained almost
immediately, but heredity is something

BUSINESS ACTIVE.
Except for Miners’ Strike and Con-
gestion of Railroads Trade Is
Flourishing.
R., G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review
of Trade says: ‘Gradual resumption
of anthracite coal mining is encourag-
ing, although the: output is not yet
sufficient to have any commercial
value. Business conditions are un-
satisfactory at the strike center, but
reports from all other sections indi-
cate unusually prompt revival after
the summer vacation season, with ex-
ceptionally large operations among
dealers in the agricultural regions.
Notwithstanding some bad weather,
large crops are now practically as-
sured. Manufacturing plants are now
fully occupied as a rule the least
gratifying reports coming from fur-
naces that cannot secure coke owing
to railway blockades The transpor-
tation problem is becoming serious,
i as the factor of crop moving is about
that goes back through many genera-
tions and decades.
ducing milk and butter fats must be
considered in the light of all this.
When we buy well-bred dairy cows we
pay for ancestral traits and past care-
fulness in breeding. This sometimes
is the most expensive. part of the cost,
but in the end it pays best.
But in calculating the cost of produc-
tion of dairy products it should be re-
membered that cows are now bred for
special purposes, and to use one for
something she had not been bred to is
wasting profits. One cow will produce
a hundred pounds of milk with less
than three per cent. of butter fat in it,
and another seventy pounds of milk in
the same time with six per cent. butter
fats. Which cow will yield the great-
est profit? If one is selling milk which
passes muster with three per cent.
butter fat, the cow which gives the
heaviest yield of, milk, with a low
percentage of butter fat, will prove
more profitable to him. But when the
farmer expects to sell his milk. to the
creameries or make the butter himself,
he needs the six per cent. butter fat
cow, even though the milk yield is
smaller in quantity. In estimating the
cost of production the purpose for
which the cow is designed must first
be decided upon, and then heredity
and environment may be able to show
profits that will make the work satis-
factory. Both the breeds which are
enormous milkers, and those which
produce milk with a great percentage
of butter fats, are needed on the dairy,
but not always on the same dairy.—
E. P, Smith, in American Cultivator.
Yet the cost of pro-
to be added, and, moreover, much
coal must be moved by rail that usu-
ally goes to consumers by lake and
canal. Iron furnaces are suspending
production hecause coke cannot be
secured, and it is evident that the
rate of output at the opening of the
new month will show a serious loss.
This scarcity of fuel was expected at
the few plants using anthracite coal,
but has come as a shock to the coke
furnaces, for the Connellsville ovens
have steadily maintained a weekly
productions of 250,000 tons. Inade-
quate railway facilities are respon-
sible, and the situation is critical. As
the stocks of pig iron were very low
at the opening of August, consumers
are in an embarrassing position, and
there is a growing disposition to re-
fuse contracts. Imports are increas-
ing, and numerous plans are reported
whereby the finished product may be
exported to secure the tariff draw-
back. The dry goods jobbing trade
reports a liberal distribution, and
supplies are only moderate in the
primary market. Changed conditions
in the raw material have accelerated
inquiries for cotton goods, buyers
seeking figures on forward contracts
and placing a fair amount of orders.
Slightly less activity is seen in men’s
woolen and worsted fabrics, but fancy
worsteds are in better request. At
last footwear makers have been able
to secure a moderate advance in
prices in response to the recent sharp
rise in materials. Leather is strong
and active, while hides made higher
record prices, but the market has
quieted down. Failures for the week
numbered 173 in the United States,
against 202 last year, and 14 in Can-
ada, against 21 a year ago.
Bradstreet’s says: Wheat, includ-
ing flour, exports for the week ending
August 28, aggregate 5,436,530 bush-
els, against 5,054,759 bushels last
week and 6,607,611 bushels in this
week last year. Wheat exports since
July 1 aggregate 38,381,297 bushels,
against 57,286,598 bushels last sea-
son... Corn exports aggregate 115,150
bushels, against 51,649 bushels last
week, and 441,918 bushels last year.
For the fiscal year corn exports are
818,643 bushels, against 10,192,969
bushels last vear.

Competition for Standard Oil.
Consul F, W. Mahin writes from
Reichenhberg, June 16, 1902: “The
Austrian refiners of petroleum have
effected an organization for export
purposes. It is announced that they
intend to invade France, Germany,
Switzerland and Italy, and wrest those
countnies, if possible, from the Amer-
ican company which mow supplies
their demands for petroleum, and that
they also propose contesting certain
markets with Russia.”
Rents are falling in Buenos Ayres.
The Okapi.
The okapi, the strange animal a
short time ago discovered in Central
Africa by Sir Henry Johnstone, is now
thought to have been known to the
ancient Egyptians. The old monu-
ments show a socalled “animal of
set,” a desert quadruped variously
supposed to have been a fox, e& musk-1
rat, a dog, a camel and even a fabul-
ous animal. “A study of the pictures
convinces Prof. Weideman that this
creature was the okapi, which early
hunters exterminated in Egypt.
In Humbolt and Mendocino coun-
ties, California, there are 36 sawmills
at work upon the famous redwood for-
ests, which are gradually disappear-
ing, the value of the output of the
year 1900 being nearly $5,000,000.
