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.

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.

Geologists state that Washington. Or

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

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.—
