A FAIRY TALE OF INDUSTRY.
The Great Transformation Scene al
Sault Ste. Merle.
Few people have any- notion of the
stupendous operations going on at
Bau.lt 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 door 3
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
tunbber the tranquil surface. Almost as
In a night of metamorphosis has taken
place. "Where once was a scattered
group of village dwellings, groat stone
buildings with towers and shafts and
connecting pa'agev,-ay now stand, and
at their base deep-dug canals wind in
and out, spanned by bridges of mas
sive stone, bjine thousand workmen
now earn their living in the shops of
Sault Ste. Marie, 'besides the site
where Ave 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 the extensive ore deposits of
Dunderland, Sweden, by Edison's
electrical process. As 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

* Farm Topics?
Care of Colts.
Young colts are easily injured and
seem to use but little precaution for
their safety. To avoid injury tbey
should be turned out on pastures that
do not contain deep ditches or barbed
wire fences. Tbey should be given an
allowance of ground oats at least twice
a day. and should also be treated as
pets.
Poultry Dosses.
There is n loss in poultry products in
the neglect to provide nests and accom
modations for the fowls. The hens
should not be compelled to lay in horse
troughs or where difficulty in finding
the eggs may ocur, as time devoted in
that direction is wasted. Ducks should
be confined at night and kept up until
past sunrise, ns they usually lay early
in the morning. They are not now
producing many eggs, having laid
their quota earlier, but they should be
given shelter at night, in order to pro
tect them from enemies.

hens bad worn for two years. It was
made from a piece of old glove, kid
will do, as there is no particular wear
on it, and was three inches long by
one-half inch wide.—Orange Judd
Farmer.
The Corn-Fed Hog.
When tlie time comes that the cook
prefers cottonseed oil to lard for house
hold use, we shall expect to see what
is called the Bacon hog, with two
streaks of lean to one of fat, take the
place and sell for as good a price in our
markets as the corn-fed animals. We
do not mean that it will be necessary
to go back to the animals that weighed
400 or 500 pounds when slaughtered,
because feeders have learned that they
can be fattened at ITS to 225 pounds,
be well fattened, too, but the thin
backed, scant-bammed and peaked
nosed tribe do not find favor among
our marketmen, however well tiiey
may be liked by the aristocracy of Eng
land. And they do not care for them
unless they come from Ireland or Den
mark.—The Cultivator.
Economical Poultry Fattening,
While the Maine Experiment Station
has got as satisfactory results from
l'eedlug poultry in small houses and
yards, the Ontario Agricultural Col
lege has doue decidedly better when
the fowls were confined In small coops.
Those fed In loose pens, with live
square feet space to each bird, gained
eleven pounds per crate of twelve birds
at a cost of 7.44 cents per pouud and
sold at nine cents per pouud. Those
fed in coops gained in the same time
fifteen pounds at a cost of 0.21 cents
per pouud and sold at ten cents pfir
pound. Thoßb kept in crates and fed
with cramming machine gained 21%
pounds at a cost of 4.88 cents per
pound and sold at eleven cents per
pound. Equal parts tullk aud grain
were used.
A Cheap Hmeina<le Fence.
I Improvised this spriug what was
Inteuded to be a temporary fence, but
have decided to let it remain. It is
made with smooth wire, is easy to
build, cheap, effective, and I believe
durable. Tlie slabs are heart pine, and
light. Such slabs cost here fifty cents
per 100. I used a twisted wire bpught
some years ago for $2 iter 100 pouuds.
1 estimate the cost as approximating
twenty cents per rod put up, including
cedar posts, set twenty feet apart.
Three wires were stretched the whole
line. I lfud been tearing down some
old buildings and had a lot of slabs
five feet long, about three Inches wide,
and a scant half inch thick. I wove
these In with the wire aud also dug u
shallow trench to keep the lower euds
of the slats in place. 1 did not use a
wire stretcher but drew the wire pretty
tight and the weaving process took up
the slack. The fence as finished looks
neat, and stops chickens, turkeys, dogs
and larger stock.—VV. 11. Itowland, in
New England Homestead.
How to Begin.Dairying.
In many localities dairying would be
profitable, but farmers are not used to
this kind of work, and take to it slow
ly. The first thing to overcome is the
dislike for tlie work. This is a difficult
problem, as few men are really fond of
milking. If this can be overcome by
keeping good cows which make the
business profitable, the next serious
problem is that of good roads. Poor
roads are a greut detriment where milk
has to be hauled to the creamery. Mr.
Gilkerson, of Northern Illinois, former
ly a dairyman in the Elgin district,
believes that large, roomy cows should
be selected, possibly Short-Horns or
Holsteins. He believes that a general
purpose animal, that is, one producing
large quantities cf milk aud ulso fairly
good beef. Is the best. He admits
that raising one's own cows is the best
method, but, under present conditions,
he thinks It more profitable for farm
ers to buy their cows from outside
sources, selecting rangy animals with
milk characteristics. Get up a co-oper
ative creamery association us soon as
possible. Itemodel barns so that win
tor dairying can be carried on, as this
is by far the most profitable.—Ameri
can Agriculturist.
CERMLESS SCHOOL BOOKS.
Salt Lake's Precautions Against Spreading
Disease Among Its Children.
A new ordinance has been adopted
In Salt Lake City with the Idea of
preventing the disseminating of scar
let fever and diphtheria germs among
school children.
Both diseases have recently been epi
demic among the children in the city,
and the Board of Health decided that
the germs traveled in the school books
and other things carried by the pupils.
The result has been the passage of an
ordinance which is probably more
stringent than any other of the kind
ever adopted by any municipality.
It provides that none of the school
books shall be covered with any mate
rial other than pnper. In all schools
in which there is a free distribution of
books such books, after having once
been used, must be recovered and thor
oughly disinfected by the Board of
Health.
A student once having received a
book shall keep it as long as that book
is necessary for his studies.
It is unlawful for the schools to col
lect pencils, sponges or other articles
ysed by the students for the purpose of
redistributing them to other students.
A violation of any provision of the or
dinance is punishable by a tine of $25.

How Muskrats Are Secured.
Muskrats are frequently secured by
fort-la* a long-pronged spear or gig
through the tops of their houses and
transfixing the animals within. The
house must be approached cautiously,
for It is vacated 011 the slightest alarm.
After each successful thrust a hole is
cut through the wall of the house with
a hatcliet and the game removed, when
the hole is filled up. As the animals
are scurrying through the house after
the thrust of the spear some may be
taking by spearing them through the
ice If the thickness of the latter does
not exceed two inches. The remaining
members of the family soon return
and set about repairing the brench In
the wall of the house. If. when the
wall is breached, a trap Is properly
set Inside the house, near the edge of
the nest and a few Inches under the
water, the first muskrat returning is
usually taken. When a trap is so set,
a stick about three feet long is placed
through the ring of the chain und laid
across the breach in the wall.
On sunny days in winter or early
spring muskrats are shot while sitting
on the Ice or while swimming about
or basking on logs. They are also
secured In the same manner on moon
light nights. Large numbers are taken
in this manner by sportsmen, but it Is
not a desirable method of obtaining
them for the fur market on account of
the damage done by the shoL
Handy Books of Insults.
Herr Schueh, a German author, has
compiled a dictionary of 2500 insult
ing expressions, carefully tabulated,
indexed and classified.
The work, 011 which Herr Schuch has
spent years of labor, says the Chicago
Chronicle, Is called the Seliimpfworter
Lexikon, and is divided into five gen
eral heads—insults for men, Insults for
women, insults for cither sex, insults
for children and collective insults for
syndicates, groups and corporations.
Herr Schuch, with that minute dis
cernment of the searching German, has
subdivided these classes into smaller
ones, so that when one wishes to call
his friend or enemy a name it needs
but a short consultation with the book
to find the exact epithet or phrase
which will fit the case.
This work would have been invalu
able to Mississippi River pilots In the
old days, and even now the teamster
may regard it as a welcome addition
to his library.
Psychic Kxperlences of Twins.
People who study the mysteries of
psychic phenomena tell us there are
in existence scores of cases where the
spiritual bond of twins has been very
strong. When separated they have
still been linked'by a chain which an
nihilated distance. One has had a
flash of knowledge when the other has
been in danger or when death has
claimed one and left the other. The
explanation lias been that in the ab
normally strong bond of love between
twins, the longing which comes with
the approach of denth bridges thou
sands of miles and links soul to soul
for a brief moment of spiritual inter
course,—Good Housekeeping.
Cultivating Fluit Trees.
When my apple treeu were young I
raised a crop of vegetables among
them. Now I keep the ground plowed
in a portion of my orchard and sow
on buckwheat and turn it under. I
dig around trees in grass and put ou
a good supply of barnyard dressing,
and mulch with meadow hay. I treat
pears and plums in the same way.—A.
F. Severance, in New England Home
stead.
A Cause of Fail tire.
Close planting is often a cause of
failure, especially if peach trees are
planted or crops grown between them,
and they are not well fertilized. J. H.
Hale plants peach trees thirteen feet
apart each way, but he feeds them like
pigs. Many set early bearing apple
trees between later ones, intending to
root them out as they grow, but they
do not carry out their good resolves.
An orchardist who has 000 acres near
Springfield, Mo., says: "Apple trees in
good land should never be planted
closer than 30x30 feet apart, and in
fairly good not closer than 25x25 feet.
On soil that will not grow twenty
bushels of corn to the acre apple trees
will be unprofitable."
Seed Growing.
A line of farming which offers good
opportunities in many places is the
growing of crops for seed. Of course
this will require more cnre and expense
than is usually given the same crops,
and also demands some skill, but the
returns will also be greater. Most
farmers would be willing to pay a pre
mium for well seeds and well selected
corn for planting. So with the other
cereals. Then there are some crops
such as the hairy vetch, the cowpea
and the soy bean, the seed of which
can be easily grown, and for which
there is an increasing demand at good
prices. To the man who can invest a
little money and some skill and knowl
edge in this work it seems to offer
splendid returns.—E. E. Miller, in The
Epitomist.
Melons, Cncumbers and Squashes.
The ground was worked out and
holes were made for each hill eight
inches deep and two and a half feet in
diameter. Coarse barnyard manure
was spread evenly over the bottom of
each hole to a depth of three inches
and covered with one inch of fine soil
On top of this was placed two shovel
fuls of compost, which brought the hill
level with the surface. The seeds
were planted by hand, one and a half
to two inches deep, fifteen or twenty to
a hill, and placed germ end down. Each
hill was sown with a few radish seed,
lightly covered, and the soil compact
ed. The hills were made six feet apart
for muskmelons. four feet for cucum
bers and eight feet for squashes and
watermelons.
Cultivation was begun as soon as
the plants were up and continued
every other day until August 1, work
ing as close to the hill as the vines would
permit. As soon as the vines reached
a length of three feet the ends were
pinched off to promote the growth of
laterals and fruit close to the hill. As
soon as the vines were large enough
the radishes were pulled and the
plants thinned to three In a hill,whence
they made good progress in plant
growth and development.—C. P By-
Ingtcn. i-i New England Homestead.
Trel'l. From I'lpe Iron.
Pole trellises of second-hand pipe
and boiler tubing have given satisfac
tion here, being easily set up, neat,
low cost and apparently very durable.
The pipe was bought of a house wreck
ing company at three to six cents per
foot, sizes one to two indies across.
They come in various lengths, but are
used as nearly as possible in five to
six foot pieces, being driven two feet
into the earth, which brings the top
TJNPRUNED VINE ON PirE TRELLIS,
three or four feet above the surface.
The arm is of wood, 2xß inches by four
feet. It is fastened to the pole by a
six Inch piece of pipe passing tightly
through a hole in the middle of the ariu
and fitting tightly Into the top of the
large pipe. The vines are cut back to
two main branches each winter. The
shoots which bear the fruit start each
spring and are allowed to swing free,
according to the principle or the
Kniffen system, as in the illustration.
The vines are cut back to two arms
each winter, new growth being sub
stituted for the old arms at the same
time. Vines so treated give a good
crop, easily gathered, and of very
fine quality and appearance, and the
training is less work than by almost
any other method. Another advantage
is that the vines may be cultivated in
both directions, with no wires to in
terfete. Iron posts, too, do not har
bor insects and fungous growth.—

Washing in the Orient.
The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing and they iron
their clothes by spreading them on a
flat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes and some
of them have quite a luster. The
Japanese woman does her washing
out of doors. Her wash tub is not
more than six inches high. The hard
est-worked washerwomen in the world
are the Coreans. They have to wash
about a dozen dresses for their hus-1
bands and they have plenty to do.
The washing is usually done in cold
water and often in running streams.
The clothes are pounded witn paddles
until they shine like a shirt front
fresh from a laundry.
