A FAIRY TALE OF INDUSTRY. The Great Transformation Scene 1 Sault Ste. Marie. Few people have any nation of the stupendous operations going on at Sault Ste. Marie, the little Canadian village on the shores of Lake Superior, where an industrial center of enor mous magnitude is now being created. "Five years ago the sleepy little Can adian town of Sault Ste. Marie num bered 2500 inhabitants. Past its doora the sulplus waters of Lake Superior, mightiest of inland oceans, emptied into Lake Huron. Untold millions of horsepower energy lay latent in their idly flowing eddies, but only the slow turning wheels of a. few old flour mills stood to mark their commercial use fulness, while but an occasional steam er or a paddle-propelled canoe dis tur.bber the tranquil surface. Almost as in a night of metamorphosis has taken place. "Where once was a scattered group of village dwellings, great stone buildings with towers and shafts and connecting past'ageway now stand, and at their base deep-dug canals wind in and out, spanned by bridges of mas sive stone. Nine thousand workmen now earn their living in the shops of Sault Ste. Made, 'besides the site where five years ago the total popu lation was but quarter of that number. It Is a wonderful story, this growth of the little frontier town into a great in dustrial center. A Company has been organized In London with a capital of $10,000,000 to work tho extensive ore deposits of Dunderlaud, Sweden, by Edison's electrical process. Ar. part of the equipment five large capacity steam shovels are being purchased and 40 steel dump cars. The mines are to be worked to supply ore to English fur naces.

P*| igffTrl.-HriiTMM.'gy AglfeDfeL Faults In Feeding. <"here are faults in feeding that Bhould be avoided. The farmer who overfeeds his animals by allowing food to remain within their reach at all times is not economical in his methods. Animals that are permit ted to feed on grain or hay at will are subject to indigestion and also evfnce no disposition to exercise. Plenty of food should be allowed, but only at regular hours, and In quantity suited to the requirements of each in dividual. Drinking Vessels for Fowls. ®no poultryman says that he finds It advantageous to have two sets of drinking vessels, using one one day and the other the next By this means one set is sunned and aired in the off day. He thinks he keeps down disease germs by this method. With out doubt drinking vessels so handled will be free from slime and other things that may foster the develop ment of disease germs. Certainly It is wiser to err on virtue's side than to Invite disease. We have noticed that when one set of dishes only is used for this purpose they sometimes become very filthy. If disease appears In the flock they ofTer a good chance tor its spread.—Farmer's Review. No Kicking Cow*. Many cows are made cross and nn ruly by the men who have the care of them. Take almost any nervous, high strung cow and place her under the care of ill tempered, impatient men, and the result is not difficult to foresee. It will be only a little while before we have a kicking cow. And one kicking cow in a herd will do more to destroy the value of the dairy than can be estimated. This loss will not bo with the kicking cow herself, but with all the rest of the herd; for it cannot be disputed that the temper of all will be aroused by the actions of the one which is really unruly, and of her mas ter. Anything that disturbs the quiet of the dairy has a direct effect on the yield of milk, and its worth in dollars and cents. The kicking cow will kick more value out of the milkpail than we can feed in from the meal barrel. But why have kicking cows? What is the use of having such times as are often witnessed in the stable when ever milking time comes round? I re member working for one man when I was a lad who had a cow that was light footed. Before milking her master would put a strap about her and haul her away back toward the side of the barn. In which position she was ex pected to stand during the process of milking. If she became tired and flounced about there was a scene. Shouts of anger mingled with heavy blows and a general stirring up of the animals all over tho barn ensued. It was a shame. The incorrigible kicker might as well go to the butcher shop first as last. It would be money in the pocket of her owner, even though she were the best cow in the barn. Then her progeny should also ho weeded out, for it is a fact that kicking cows leave their mark on their calves. Somecimes by taking the heifers from such cows and treating them kindly, as all heif ers should be treated, one may suc ceed in training them to stand nicely. As a rule we do not. have patience enough with our heifers when teach ing them to be milked. No cross, imp?.- tient man should ever try to break a heifer or teach a A.r.lf to drink. It is a waste of temper in the man and a risk of spoiling the cow. The most nervous cow may be controlled by uniformly kind speaking and handling. It pays to do this —pays in dollars and cent's, and in the better sense which touches the higher life of the man—E. L. Vin cent in New York Tribune. Preparing Wool for Market. Wool growers should take more to heart the appeals of manufacturers to pay more attention to the preparation of wool on the farm for market ship ment. By so doing they would save wasto and expenses which now eat rapidly into their profits. A good deal of the wool received In the markets Is in filthy condition, packed without any idea of what manufacturers re quire, and practically in such away that a great deal of labor is required to resort and prepare it for sale. All this labor in the markets must be de ducted from the profits of the grow ers. Tho practice In many places of marking sheep with pitch, paint or some other sticky substance causes a great amount of loss and prejudice. When such marks appear 011 wool, dealers avoid it, and if forced to buy they make deductions for the waste through clipping. It Is impossible to scour out such marks, and the easiest way is to clip off the wool and throw it away. In a big bundle of fleeces this loss amounts to considerable. If It is necessary to mark sheep it is better to use come substance that can be washed or scoured off on the farm before the wool is shipped to market. It may make quite a difference in the price and profit. In a market that is well supplied with stock a small thing may determine the reduction in prices for any particular lot of goods. Some growers prepare their wool so neatly for market that they average almost a cent a pound more for it than others, and yet the wool is not actually any better. In packing wool for shipment careful grading and separation of different kinds should be made. All fleeces should be tiod with soft twine, and not with sisal or binding twine. No more than necessary should be used, and the knots should be clip ped off close. A bundle of wool tied with a dozen unnecessary knots, and with many loose ends sticking out, always gives a bad appearance to the package, and in many eases pre judices buyers from the whole lot. They rightly reason that if the grower is careless in this regard, he may be expected to be careless all through his work, and there will be a loss of time or waste of material on opening the package. The reason manufac turers dislike to have the wool tied with sisal or binding twine is that small particles of it adhere to the wool and damage it. —S. L. Miner in Ameri can Cultivator. Effect of Fertilizers. Potatoes are grown extensively in this country, and more experiments have been made with them than any other crop, yet the matter of ap plying manure or fertilizer to the po tato crop is one on which growers dif fer materially. It is possibly the case that many varieties, as well as the peculiarities of soils and climates, may have much to do with the lack of unanimity among growers, but it is safe to claim that there is a wide field open for work in the use of plant foods for potatoes. The same difficulty pre sents itself in Europe, where experi ments have been conducted for years. Professor Wright, of the West of Scotland Agricultural college, concludes that large crops of potatoes can be grown either with a heavy (20 tons) dressing per acre of barnyard manure, or with half that quantity when supplemented with fertilizers. The us of fertilizers alone will also give laifce crops. In this country the use of barnyard manure in some sec tions induces disease among the tu bers and vines. Experiments Bhow that the increase produced by manure on potatoes is entirely in tubers of large size, the yields of small tubers while light dressings of manure pro duce a much greater proportionate effect, and a larger local return can be obtained from a limited quanity over a given area. Fertilizers when added to large dressings of manure are not so effective as when added to small dressings. Heavy dressings of manure, without fertilizers, give pota toes of a rather watery or inferior quality, light dressings being less in jurious, while the use of fertilizers with manure tends to greatly improve the quality,but potatoes of the best cooking quality and possessing the highest nutritive value can be grown by the use of fertilizers alone. Concerning the use of the several forms of fertilizers on potatoes it was demonstrated that the addition of potash in any form, when applied with barnyard manure, increased the dry matter in starch in the tubers, and thus improved the quality. It also in creased materially the proportionate yield of large potatoes, which adds to the market value of the crop. The most profitable quantity of potash to apply, according to the results of ex periments, is 84 pounds per acre, repre sented by about 170 pounds of sulphate of potash, any increase in that amount being not so beneficial or profitable. If is possible to use more potash and secure larger yields, but the amount mentioned will give the most profit in proportion to expense. When fertili ze iw only are used the potash should be given in the form of sulphate of potash. In these experiments the finest quality of potatoes were grown with the use of sulphate of potash. Kainit, applied in the spring, whether given with or without barnyard manure, gave Inferior results, both in yield and quality of the tubers, proving some what detrimental to the quality. Mu riate of potash gave good results when used in fertilizers, but when applied with barnyard manure it proved even more effective than sulphate of potash in increasing the yield, but did not pro duce tubers of the highest quality. Ni trate of coda, applied as a top dressing at the rate of 112 pounds per acre, and put on immediately after the first weeding of the crop, produced no in jurious effects on the quality of the potatoes. In the growing of potatoes the farm er desires the largest possible yield and the large majority of them have succeeded in so combining barnyard manure and fertilizers as to harvest enormous crops, hut the experiments mentioned Include something more than yields, the object being to also observe the effect on the quality of (he tubers, It is the quality that gives the profit, as the difference in prices may largely offset the differences in yields. Kainit, which Is a crude sulphate of potash containing a large proportion of common salt, is used ex tensively in the manure heap in oriker to prevent the loss of volatile matter, and It Increases the value of manure for some crops, but when applied to potatoes it does not Improve the quality. Wood ashes, which are rich in potash when pro duced from certain hardwoods, would no doubt prove valuable for potatoes, hut, as ashes also contain lime, the ef fect may be to Injure tho crop, as it is not known that lime Is favor able to some diseases, and for that reason should not be applied. A fertilizer for potatoes should not only contain potash, but also nitrogen and phosphoric acid. In some eases the use of superphosphate and sulphate of potash has given sat isfaction, the superphosphate contain ing sufficient nitrogen if the soil is al so fertile. Farmers should experiment with small plots in order to test the advantages of the plant foods for in creasing the quality of the tubers, as any experiments made with certain varieties and on soils that are varia ble may be of but little advantage in sections where the conditions differ from those of the experiment.—Phila delphia Record. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY Australian blue gum timber baa been chosen by British engineers for harbor works because it will sink if washed away, and will not endanger shipping. A new electric light "shifter"' has been invented which, it is claimed, puts the light, not approximately near the efficient point over the desk, but just in that particular position. The mechanism can be screwed to the wall or ceiling. The egg-hatching process of the in cubator, says an expert in the breed ing of fowls, is remarkably sensitive to vibration. The rumble of a train, or passing wagon, even the banging of a door may spoil a whole incuhator full of eggs. A thunderstorm always gives the breeders a scare. Geologists state that Washington. Or egon and much of Idaho are largely overspread with lava. This great des ert of molten rock, 200,000 square miles in extent, and 4000 feet deep, has undergone great changes since its volcanic days. Rivers have diligently plowed out canyons famous for beauty and grandeur. Between the rivers are rolling plateaus of rich, deep soil—the vaut wheat and grass lands of the Northwest. Formerly, when paper for news papers was made of rags, old papers had some value in the eyes of the old rag man, but in these days when all such paper is made from wood pulp paper with printing on is worth noth ing. An English paper maker has lately demonstrated a system however whereby he repulps old newspapers and makes clean new paper from them, of a quality equal to the original. Tho main difficulty in such a process is to get rid of the carbon of the printing ink, which does not yield to bleaching. It was recently suggested to the In stitution of Civil Engineers in London that solid metals might reveal by their structure the vibrations to which they have been subjected. Professor Rob erts-Austen made a series of experi ments, showing that a wave-structure may be imparted to the surface of mercury by the vibrations of a tuning fork. He also showed that a surface of solid lead possesses a structure re sembling that of a vibrating surface of mercury, i his was done by subjecting the lead to vibrations similar to those used with mercury. The flow of Texas rivers has been studied by the hydrographic parties of the United States Geological Sur rey. Daily records of water heights and frequent measurements by eurrent meiter of the velocity and volume of water carried by each stream are made. The economic value of such hydro graphic surveys is well illustrated by two examples. The flow of the Brazos river at Waco was the lowest on rec ord during the past season and the Waco dam, with a head of 30 feet, de veloped only 130 horse-power. The minimum flow of the Colorado was found to be only one-ilfth of what was popularly estimated at the time the bonds were issued for the dam at Austin. Tne comparatively small cost of such surveys repays taxpayers and investors a hundred fold. foal Minin- Machines. Actual figures referring to the use of coal-cutting machines in the two coun tries show that 311 such machines were in use in Great Britain in 1900, whereas in America there were 3907, or about twelve and a half times the number, this figure corresponding ap proximately with the ratio of the per centages cut by machines in the two countfies, namely, 11-2 per cent and 20 per cent. It should be pointed out, however, that as British mining is very largely on the long-wall system, the 311 machines include a large num ber of long-wall and heading ma chines, while the 3907 machines in America include 2350 of the pneumatic percussive type, which is, of course, a much smaller and cheaper machine. Still, in the States there were 1509 chain breast machines and 48 long walled machines, and the increase in the percentage of coal-mining by ma chinery in West Virginiawasfrora9.27 percent in 1899 to 15.09 percent in 1900. The corresponding increase for Pennsylvania (considering the bitu minous coal only) was 29.07 percent to 33.05 percent.—Engineering Maga ztne. Tip* on Walking. Steps that are quick are indicative of energy and agitation. Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise, curiosity, discretion or mystery. Turned in toes are often found with preoccupied, absent-minded persons. The miser's walk is represented as stooping, noiseless, with short, ner vous, anxious steps. Slqw steps, whether long or short, suggest a gentle or reiiective state of mind, as the case may be. The proud step is slow and meas ured, the toes ere conspicuously turned out; the legs straightened. Where a revengeful purpose is Rid den under a feigned smile the step will be slinking and noiseless. The direction of the Pteps wavering and following every changing impulse of the mind inevitably betrays uncer tainty. hesitation and indecision. Obstinate people, who in argument rely more on muscularity than on in tc-llecual power, rest the feet flatly and firmly on the ground, walking heavily and slowly and stand with tho legs firmly planted and far apart.— St. Louis Star.
