Hunt Diamonds in Kentucky.
From present indications there is no
longer a doubt as to the existence of
a splendid showing for diamonds in
Kentucky, says the Glasgow (Ky.)
correspondent to the Nashville
“American.” For many years those
versed in such matters have insisted
that this State offered flattering pros-
pects for diamond mining, but capi-
talists were timid, and it has taken
a long process of reasoning to get
them interested. At last the work is
fairly under way, and the results will
be eagerly watched. The plant to do
the mining is now in process of in-
stallation in Elliott county, and
January 1 an immense diamond wash-
ing pan and its accessory machinery,
built from South African models
began an exhaustive test of the Ken-
tucky Kimberlite deposits, which geo-
logists say are practically indentical
with the olivine pyroxine rock in the
Kimberley field® in South Africa.
Elliott county is the first and only
place in the United States which has
made an effort to determine the pos-
sibilities of diamond mining in this
country. Most of the finds so far have
been in alluvial deposits, and one of
the best was a 24-karat stone of fine
quality picked up in Virginia some
60 years ago, but the source of those
has never been found. Geologists be-
lieve that the wholesale washing
operations will determine whether
these deposits carry true gems and in
paying qualities.
Golden Relics Found.
Jerusalem papers report that on
the opening of the graves at Perga-
mos a number of rare relics were
brought to light. In one grave lay a
golden Rosary. In two other tombs
two wreaths were found, represent-
ing artistically made gold imitations
of oak leaves. A wolf’s head of gold
was discovered, as well as various
farming utensils, swords and other
weapons. The antiquities have been
sent to the Museum of Constanti-
nople.
An Accommodating Butcher.
The Indianapolis News tells the
story of a parson’s wife who sent an
order for a leg of mutton and receiv-
ed in reply the following note: “Dear
Madam—I have not killed myself this
week but can get you a leg off my
"brother, .if that will do. Your affec-
"i tiopate butcher, John Smith.”

Spiders That Weave Silk.
Most of us have read of the fairy
princess who wore a spider-web gown,
but we never expected to see that
fabric in reality. Now Signor Gal-
lieni, governor of the island of Mada-
gascar, off the southeast coast of
Africa, sends word to America that
he has opened a factory where the
workers are weaving the webs of cer-
tain spiders of the island into beau-
tiful silken fabrics which are shipped
to Paris and made up into ladies’
gowns. Thousands of spiders work
day and night in their cages in the
big room in the factory given over to
them, and they industriously spin
millions of yards of their strong silk
threads, which are carefully wound
and taken to the weaving rooms.

The Emergency Juror.
There should be a thirteenth juror
in criminal cases involving all the
time and expense of the one now in
New York. Sickness and death in
these uncertain times, barring any
supersitious feeling he might have in
regard to being “it,” make the extra
juryman essential. He would prevent
delays that the public would surely
appreciate, and to avoid ‘“queering”’
the trial he might be placed in a box
by himself only to be used in- an
emergency. - It is a wonder when
trial by jury was instituted they did
not think of hitching on a spare man
after the manner of the automobile’s
extra tire.—Boston Herald.

A Good Farm Tool House.
f notice in last week's Farmer a
writer under the heading of “Farm
Machinery of the United States,”
gives an interesting comparison of
the work performed by machinery
and without. It seems that the use
of machinery comes nearer solving
thing that I know of. ys :
as with high priced stock it has to
be taken care of if we are to get. the
best results, hence the necessity of
good shelter for it while not in use.
It believe after a lot of thinking
and planning that I have a house
nearly ‘filling the bill.”
Most of the tool houses are con-
structed in a way that is inconveni-
ent to get the tools in and out. Such
houses usually have the doors in the
end of the building and you have to
run probably half of your tools out
to get the one wanted. Not so with
this one, as you can put mower, plow
or any other implement in or take it
out without disturbing the rest of
machinery; a wonderful help when
you are in a hurry or tired and think
you will put off running that binder
into the dry.
The house I have is eighteen feet
wide and thirty-two feet long al-
though I would prefer one longer if
any difference was to be made. To
build the house cut ten oak posts
nine feet long and of a size as large
as you would use for end post of wire
fence, or smaller, will do. Mark

A Handy Farm Tool House.
your site conveniently near barn-
yard for building, eighteen feet wide
and thirty-two feet long, set post
three feet in ground and ten feet
apart excepting the last which will
be twelve feet. Of course you will
have to put one post in centre of each
end. I filled around each post with
boulders which makes it solid and
needs no bracing. Put a 4x4 on top
of posts entirely around the structure
and also two sets of stringers 2x4
on sides of posts about three feet
apart. Now side your building in
with some good lumber (mine is
rough oak). Go inside and nail a
braces for double bar doors between
every post on each side of the build-
ing, but not in the ends. Outside
put hinges or plank over posts; saw
your two stringers in two to corre-
spond with your doors and swing
your doors open. Don’t nail siding to
top plate as you could not open doors
if you did. Cover building with V
crimped iron roofing; no danger of
fire then.
Throw all of the doors open on
both sides of new building, run clov-
er cutter in wide apartment and
steel rake in opposite wide doors,
lap tongues, run the rest of imple-
ments ‘in, in same way lapping
tongues in centre.’ Whenever want-
ing any implement open doors imme-
diately back of it and back it out.
The good points of a building of
this kind are its cheapness, conven-
fence and durability; it is almost as
easy to store implements as to leave
them in the field, and it ought to last
almost a lifetime if roof is painted
occasionally. The accompanying dia-
gram represents house closed up and
all farming tools in the dry.—W. R.
A., in the Indiana Farmer.
Good Authority in Feeding Horses.
No people in the world are more
skilled in horse feeding than the
French. For hundreds of years they
have tested methods of all kinds of
feeding, and the following comes
from that country on this subject:
“Three meals are necessary and
sufficient with an interval of four
or five hours between, to keep a
horse in good condition. Oats take
at least two hours to digest, hay
takes three hours, and because it
takes so’ long to digest it should be
given when the day's work is over.
The evening meal should be a full
meal, the animal being then at rest,
Jand able to digest its food at leis-
ure. There should be an interval
‘of half an hour between the return
{of the horse to the stable and his
getting his evening feed. Too much
food at a meal or too long abstin-
ence between meals, followed by vo-
racious feeding, is conducive to colic
and indigestion. Irregularly fed,
he is given to showing his impatience
‘by letting his hoofs play about the
woodwork of his stall. Giving ‘re-
freshers’ at odd times is also bad.
Remember that both stomach and
bladder should never be loaded in
work time, whether light or heavy
work is done. A horse, therefore,
should not be riddeh or driven im-
mediately after a meal, on the same
principle that it ought not to be fed
sooner than half an hour after work
is over. Between one end of the
year and another a horse consumes
an amount of dry heating food which
calls for special regimen to neutralize
the excessive proteid consumption
that has taken place. Thus, in
autumn, a ration of oats is good,
the scarcity of labor probléms of any-
But with high priced implements
and so in spring, at the fall of the
winter coat, a little green meat is
beneficial, mixed with hay and oats,
for the evening meal. Another max-
im much disregarded in practice is
that the horse should be watered
long before being put to work, and
then very sparingly.”
Testing the Breeds For Merit.
‘Of“oné fact the breeder is assured,
and that is that certain families ex-
cel, and are more successful than
others, among all classes of stock,
and, fortunately for both the breeder
and the farmer, the pedigrees enable
them to arrive at some degree of
knowledge as to the proper families
from which to select. The farmer
who desires to grade up his stock is
enabled to breed from animals of
certain strains, or from families that
have produced a certain large pro-
portion of extraordinary individuals,
and to increase the yield of his herds
or flocks by grading the flock to a
higher standard. The farmer should
select from the best families of the
breed he desires. While pedigrees
are esential in knowing how to breed
for the best, yet pedigree and out-
ward points should be compared with
the records of the animals. The
horse that trots, the cow that yields
the most- milk and butter, and the
sheep that produces the “heaviest
fleece, whether possessing a noble
pedigree or not, will stand at the
head until their records are beaten.
The animals that have secured rec-
ords are not superior in points, nor
is the color of any consequence.
Actual work, or performance, must
be the test, and on such a founda-
tion all classes of stock will he rap-
idly improved.
Turkey Shelter.
In colder climates, where shelter
must be provided, a house may be
built that is fashioned after many of
our poultry houses, with the slant-
ing roof; and an open ventilator
should be placed in front, close to
the roof, and never be closed except
in cold weather. The roost should
be placed on a level in front of the
house, with a sliding or rolling door
in the rear. Only light enough is
needed for the turkeys to see the
way to and from the roosts. The door
should be left open all day that they
may come and go at pleasure. With-
in this house they may be fed in
cold, snowy weather. In the cold
northern climate of Canada one of
Farmer's Turkey House.
the most successful turkey growers
has a double enclosed apartment
house for his breeding stock in win-
ter, connected with which is an en-
closed run, that will protect them
from the elements, at the same time
furnishing opportunity for open-air
exercise during the day. This kind
of house is most useful in cold cli-
mates, but it might be used in all
localities and prevent midnight mar-
auders of all kinds from carrying
away the turkeys.—T. F. McGrew,
United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Hauling Manure Daily.
Experiments made by the Ohio sta-
tion prove that when manure was
thrown into the open barnyard and
permitted to lie there for five months
before being hauled to the field it
had a value of $2.40 per ton. When
drawn directly to the field as fast as
it was made the value was $3.20 per
ton. When the manure was sprinkled
with ground phosphate rock as fast
as it was made in the stable, thus
preventing loss from ammonia, the
value was $5.18 per ton. The claim
is made that at least one-third of the
value of the manure is lost as it is
usually put on the land with a fork
and that ten loads put on with a ma-
nure spreader go as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on in
the old fashioned, careless way.
Feed For Sheep.
Corn is not .wholesome food for
sheep, and shouid be given sparingly.
Good clover hay and some roots will
keep sheep in excellent condition.
The small gain—if any—from regu-
lar grain feeding for a breeding flock
will not pay for the food. Regular-
ity in feeding is worth more to the
flock than a good deal of grain given
by ‘fits and starts.” Sheep do well
in a well littered floor without re-
moving the manure all the winter,
All the manure is saved, and the con-
stant trampling keep it from heating
and fermenting. Forty or fifty sheep
will make a large quantity of manure
in this way, and clover hay and bran
cannot be turnéd into plant food in
any cheaper or easier way.—New
York Witness.

No Rules for Success.
There is no such thing as a single,
particular proposition in business. No
doubt this was always true in a meas-
ure; but it becomes more inclusively,
more vitally, true every day with the
increasing co-ordination of business.
The whole business web knits ever
closer, and each particular concern is
bound more tightly in it. What
other people do reacts more quickly
than formerly upon your own affairs.

Of Interest to Women.

women, unfortunately, are not, owing to
the unnatural condition of the lives wa

ditions women rush to the druggists for a
bottle of some preparation supposed to be
particularly for them, and contaimng—
nobody knows what. If they would just

them regularly everv might for a tune, all
their trouble would disappear, these
