Pr— — ANCIENT ANCHOR FOUND. Indicates Norsemen Navigated lor Canadian Lakes. Contractors ditching on the state experimental farm near Crookston, Minn., found a ship's anchor of an- tique pattern buried at a depth of six feet in solid clay under sod that had never been broken. The anchor is similar to those used my Norsemen about nine centuries ago. The anchor, it is surmised. is a relic of a Norse exploration voyage during an era when the Red River valley was a part of Lake Winnipeg and could be reached by sail from the Atlan- tic. The Next Exposition. On June 1 ground was broken for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, which is to be held in Seattle in 1909, open- jng on June 1 of that year, and clos- ing on October 15. Its object is to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the purchase of Alaska. That anni- versary comes in 1907 instead of in 1909, but nearness to the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland, Oregon, in 1905, and the lack of. time for adequate preparation compelled the selection of 1909 as the date for the observance. The New York Chamber of Commerce, the oldest and by far the most important hody of that sort in the United States, recently adopt- ed resolutions. commending the Alas- ka-Yukon Exposition, and urging the Legislature at Albany to make an ap- propriation for the participation of the state of New York therein. Many of the states—Pennsvlvania, Missouri, Utah, California, Washington and others—had already made . arrange- ments to he represented at the expo- sition, and others are expected to do so in the sessions of their Legis- latures next winter. The exposition is to cost $10.000,909, is to cover 250 acres of ground. and .is to have 12 ex- hibit palaces.—Leslie’'s Weekly. 28 New Fire Escape Device. Fire experts abroad are much inter- ested in a newly-invented fire escape for buildings which is being brought out by a Vienna manufacturer . It consists of a series of folding iron ladders, contained in frames, attached tn the window casements, each reach- ing to the window below. By nierely turning a smail winch on any floor all these frames are pushed outward from the buildings, the ladders ex- tended and securely connected with each other, thus forming a continuous communication from the top floor to the ground. The manipulation is ex- tremely simple and occupies less than a minute. When not in use the cape is barely visible and doces disfigure the facade of the building in the manner that the ardinary outside iron staircase does. A public test of the new which the inven- tion of a Swiss engineer named Scherrer, proved highly successful, and the Vienna firé brigade rvepresen- tatives present expressed their entire approval of it.—Thiladelphia Record. es- not escape. is The Railroad Trespasser. At the recent national conference of Charities and Correction at Minne- apolis, Mr. O. F. Lewis of New York delivered an address in which he set forth certain striking facts concern- jing railroad © vagrancy, = declaring: “More vagrants are killed every year on American railroads than the com- bined totals of passengers and train- men killed.” Ile states that statis- tics show that in the five years from 16801 to 1905 24.000 trespassers were killed on American railroads, 16,0600 employes and only 2009 passengers. Mr. Lewis quoted from President Hill of the Great Northern road. who said that hundreds of idle men infest empty cars on the Great Northern during the summer months, and seek to secrete themselves on every train at any risk. They get off trains while in motion, and many suffer in life and limb. Others fall off when asleep. Shipping a Steel Mast. The feat of shipping a steel mast 138 feet long was: recently aecom- plished by the Great Western. Rail road of England. The mast was three feet in diameter and weighed 14 tons. The transportation was accomplish- ed by loading the mast on seven cars, the great column heing supported by bolsters on the second and fifth cars. The bolsters were S85 feet apart, and the mast was successfully transport- ed from Liverpool to Plymouth. Con- siderable difficulty was experienced in turning some of the sharper curves of the line, and traflic was interrupted for awhile at one or two peints.- COULDN'T KEEP IT Kept it Hid From the Children. “We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in the house. It goes so fast I have to hide it, because the children love it so. It is just the food I have been looking for ever so long; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing.” Grape-Nuts is the most scientific- ally made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the-factory and can be served at an instant’s notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is desired. When milk or water is used, a little sugar shouid be addcd, but when cold cream is used alone the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, i{s sufficiently sweet to satisfy the pal- ate. This grape-sugar is not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of manufacture. This, in ef- fect, is the first act of digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts food {is pre- digested and is most perfectly as- gimilated by the very weakest stom- ach. ‘“‘There’s a Reason.” Made at the pure food factories of the Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The following plan for curing a dog of ‘the egg sucking habit is recommended by a writer in The Practical Farmer: ‘Boil an egg and while perfectly hot put it in hi mouth and hold his jaws down on it until well burnt, and, he will be afraid of eggs from that time on.” Handy Device. To make a grit box, cut four pieces from an inch board like Fig. 1. Then board up using half inch stuff, as shown in Fig. 2, by boring two holes in back about two inches or cA -—--» Feeder. J Good Grit-Box-and Grain from sides and one inch from top. This box can be hung on two pegs or nails or inside of poulty house and makes a very convenient and sanitary grit box. Three kinds of grit or feed can be kept separately to which the fowls have access at all times but cannot waste or foul it. It is well to let the front board ex- tend one and one-half inches below top of partitions by notching, to pre- vent - grit from . feeding into the trough tos freely. Broody Hens as Mothers. Professor Graham, of the Ontario Station, considers that breody hens are preferable as mothers’ for chick- ens hatched in an incubator. ‘The best plan,” he says, “to. get the broody hens to take the chicks is to give the hen two or three eggs out of the incubator on the eighteenth or nineteenth day and allow her to hatch them. When your incubator hatch is over take a dozen or fifteen chickens and put them under the hen after dark. Even if they hap- pen to differ in color from those she has hatched she will mother them all the same. If you give them to her in the .daytime she may not do so. Never neglect to give the hen a thorough dusting hefore giving her any eggs. If there is one thing more than another that requires careful attention in rearing young chickens, it is to keep them free from lice. If lice get upon them, from the hen or elsewhere, a large proportion of them will be almost sure to die.” Pruning Trees. Do not allow your trees to waste a large amount of their energy on the development of unnecessary branches. Thow their vitality into those which are to remain. But do not go at the work of pruning until you have looked the tree over from all sides and satisfied yourself exactly what needs doing. Never prune on the haphazard system, or from a ‘sense of duty.” Prune for results that stand for improvement. Aim to preserve a proper balance of head without ¥ producing a stiff, formal effect. Cut out weak wood, wher- ever found, even if it does somewhat disturb symmetrical outlines. The deveYopment of healthy branches will enable you to correct this fault later. Thin out the branches, where too thick, to allow a free circula- tion of air. It is a mest excellent plan to cover every cut that is made with a thick coat of paint. This pre- vents unnecessary loss of sap, ex- cludes rain, keeps away insects and assists the wound to heal rapidly. The Alcohol I’otato. “I -am -advised States Department of Agriculture that they have recently imported samples of potatoes grown in Europe which have been found to give a very high percentage of alcohol, and that there are varieties grown in this country, with which the department is now experimenting, which show a large starch content. In view of the fact, as shown in the report of the Committee on Ways and Means perfecting the alcohol laws, that in the fiscal year of 1905 Germany used 91,148,182 bushels of potatoes in the production of alcohol, there would seem to be no reason why in many parts of this country the cultivation of these special kinds of potatoes for use in the producticn of alcohol should not be found profitable by our farmers. ‘‘A matter of great importance in relation to the capacity of our farms to produce practically unlimited quantities of the i1natemals from which industrial alcohol is made, is the fact that the growth of these farm crops dogs not exhaust the soil. After the alcofol has been extracted from corn or potatoes these materials are still serviceable as cattle feed, in which form they ultimately find their way back to the land. “‘Some-disappointment has been ex- by 4he. United 1 the market in the near future lamps pressed over the delay on the part of our manufacturers to furnish al- cohol-burning lamps, stoves, heaters and other alcohol-using apparatus, similar to those used in Germany. 1 have personally investigated this matter and find that American manu- facturers are preparing to put on in which it has been- found by care- fully conducted experiments that one gallon of alcohol will give as much light as two gallons of kerosene. I have also seen samples of cooking stoves, heaters and other alcohol us- ing appliances, which will te on sale in this country at an early date.”’— Senator Hansbroughs Rules Governing Horsc Sales. The rules, covered very generally by statute law of the variams States, summarized by one of our horse ex- changes are as follows: "The rules governing the present popular system of selling horses at auction at combination sales should be thoroughly considered and under- stood by all prospective consignors. They usually are very similar to the following: A horse sold sound must be perfectly sound in every way. A horse sold serviceably sound must be virtually a sound horse. His wind and eyes must be good, not lame or sore in any way; the horse must be sound, barring slight blem- ishes. These blemishes must not con- stitute any unsoundness, and must be nothing more than splints, slightly pulled and a little rounding on the curb joints; above all, he must not have a bad looking curb, and must not have a brand. He may be a little: out in the knees, but must not stand over on the knees or ankles. ‘He may have a little puff on the outside of the hock, but. must.not have thorough- pin or boggy hock, ring-bone or jack, although he may naturally be a little ! coarse jointed, and front -part of hocks must not be puffed. He may have slight scars or wire marks, but these must not cause any deformity of the body, legs or feet, and nothing more than a slight scar. He must not have any scag from fis= tula or poll evil. He cannot have a hip down, and if one hip is 2 trifle lower than the other, it must be natural, and no deformity like the cap of a hip down. He must not have sidebones or any bad blemishes that will depreciate his value more than a trifle, but must be sound, barring slight blemishes that do not hurt him or change his value but very little, and in no case more than the above mentioned blemishes. Car bruises must be of a temrporary na- ture. : A horse sold to wind and work must have good wind, be: a good worker, and not a cribber, and every- thing else goes with him. A horse sold for work only must be a good worker, and everything else goes with him. A horse sold at the halter is sold just as he stands without any recom- mend. In all cases a horse must ful- fill the bill as announced ‘-hen sold. Whether it is single or double, horses must have all tne other quali- ties recommended by the auctioneer when on sale. An: horse proving different from the way he is repre- sented can be rejected on examina- tion of the buyer, which must be on the day of the sale or within the re- quired time, according to the rules and customs of that particular con- cern.—Indiana Farmer. Horse Collar Attachment. Horse collars of the type that open at the top are generally constructed with the upper edges formed of leather binding pieces that are sewed across. The stitch®s soon be- come worn, and the seam rips; the straw at the top of the collar pro- truding. = A horse-collar attachment, designed to avoid these disadvan- tages, is shown here. The horse col- lar may be of any of the ordinary forms and open at the top. Metal clasps are secured along the meet- ! ing edges of the collar at the top, the edge of one clasp fitting into the cav- ity of the opposite clasp, where it is held in position by clinching 120ES. | Fastened to the collar at the top is an adjustable strap and buckle tc prevent the joint from becoming} loosened and to idity. assure perfect rig-' lat each FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW DUN’S WEEKLY SUMMARY Settled Weather Reduces Stocks Which It Was Feared Wecould Be Carried Over. Despite the interruption of a hoeli- day .and the usual inventories and midsummer stoppage of machinery for repairs a vast amount of business was transacted during the past week and the outlook improved still ther. Settled warm weather has re- duced stocks of summer fabrics at many points. where congestion was threatened, and in some cases.suppile- mentary orders from wholesalers de- pleted stocks that it = was feared would be carried over to 1908. Activity has continued at most iron furnaces and steel plants, except where repairs were imperative and the tone of the leading markets is firm. Melters are constantly in need of pig iron, the enormous active ca- pacity of domestic furnaces being supplemented by liberal! imports, and 3ritish shipments for the two months of May and June established a markable 60-day record. Inventories at steel mills show no surplus stocks, but specifications are in excess of ca- pacity and numerous complaints are heard regarding tardy deliveries. Some mills making railway equip- ment report that orders are being overtaken, because the transportation companies have not..been able to raise funds. This financial problem will probably postpone new work, but extensions and improvements now under way will be completed. Most deliveries are tardy, and mill agents do not seek any new business until there is better prospect of mak- ing desired shipments. Results of in- ventories are very satisfactory. Inventories by shoe manufacturers have prevented any aggressive ef- forts to get new business during the past week. The result for the menths has been larger shipments from ‘Boston than in - ‘any = previc vear except 1906. re- Six MARKETS. PITTSBURG.
