A FAIRY TALE OF INDUSTRY. The Great Transformation Bcene at Sault Ste. Marie. Few people have any notion of the etupendous operations going on at Bault Ste. Marie, the little Canadian village 011 the shores of La!,B Superior, ■where an 'industrial center of enor mous magnitude is now being created. - "Five years ago the sleepy little Can r adian town of Sault Ste. Marie num bered 2500 inhabitants. Past itH doors the sulplus waters of Lake Superior, mightiest of inland oceans, emptied into Lake Huron. Unfold 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 d'is tunbber 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 passageway 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. Marie, besides the site where five years ago the total popu rlation was but quarter of that number. It 1B a wonderful story, this growth of the little frontier town into a great In dustrial center. f 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 naces.

Care of Colts. Young colts are easily injured and seem to use but little precaution for their safety. To avoid injury they should be turned out on pastures that do not contain deep ditches or barbed wire fences. They should be given an allowance of ground oats at least twice a day. and should also he treated as pets. Poultry Losses. There is a 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 whore difficulty In finding the eggs may oeur, as time devoted in tliat direction is wasted. Ducks should he confined at night and kept up until past sunrise, as they usually lay early in the morning. They are not now producing many eggs, having laid their quota earlier, but they should he given shelter at night. In order to pro tect them from enemies. To Mark Poultry. The illustration shows the shape of a leather leg hand used by a Massa chusetts man. It was made from a hand sent us by him which one of his a .'i LEATHER LEO BAND. hens had worn for two years. It was made from a piece of old glove, kid will do, as there is no particular wear on it, ami was three luches long by one-half inch wide.—Orange Judd Farmer. Til© Corn-Fed Hog. When the time comes that the cook prefers cottonseed oil to lard for house hold use, we shall expect to see what is called the ' hacou 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 he fattened at 175 to 225 pounds, be well fattened, too, but the thin baeked, scant-hammed and peaked nosed tribe do not find favor among our marketmcu, however well they 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 feeding poultry in small houses and yards, the Ontario Agricultural Col lege has d.oue decidedly better when the fowls were confined in small coops. Those fed in loose pens, with five square feet space to each bird, gained eleven pounds per crate of twelve birds at a cost of 7.44 cents per pound and sold at nine cents per pound. Those fed in coops gained in the same time fifteen pounds at a cost of 0.21 cents per pound and sold at ten cents pSr pound. Those kept in crates and fed with cramming machine gained 21% pounds a cost of 4.88 cents per tiound and sold at eleven cents per pound. Equal parts milk and grain were used. A Cheap Homemade Fence. I improvised this spring what was intended to he a temporary fence, hut have decided to let it remain. It is made with smooth wire, is easy to build, cheap, effective, and I believe durable. The slabs are heart pine, and light. Such slabs cost here fifty cents per 100. I used a twisted wire bought some years ago for $2 per 100 pounds. I estimate the cost as approximating twenty cents per rod put up, including cednr posts, set twenty feet apurt. Three wires were stretched the whole line. I had been tearing down some old buildings ami 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 and also dug a shallow trench to keep the lower ends of the slats in place. I did not use a wire stretcher hut 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.—W. H. Rowland, in New England Homestead. How to Begin Dairying. In many localities duirying would he profitable, hut farmers are not used to this kiud of wdrk, and take to It slow ly. The first thing to overcome is the dislike for the .work. This Is a difficult problem, as lew men are really fond of I milking. If this can he overcome by j keeping good cows which make the | business profitable, the next serious i problem Is that of good loads. Poor roads are a greut detriment where milk bus to he huuled to the creamery. Sir. Gilkerson, of Northern Illinois, former ly a dairyman in the Elgin district, believes that large, roomy cows should he selected, possibly Short-Horns or I Holstclns. He believes that a geueral | purpose animal, that is, one producing j large quantities cf milk and also fairly 1 good beef, is the best. He admits | that raising one's own cows Is the best I method, but, under present conditions, he thinks It more profitable for farm era to buy their cows from outside sources, selecting rangy animals with milk characteristics. Get up a co-oper ative creamery association as soon as possible. Remodel bams so that win ter dairying can, be carried on, ns this I Is by far the most profitable—Atnerl -1 can Agriculturist. CERMLESS SCHOOL BOOKS. Salt Lake'* Precautions Against Spreadlag Disease Among Its Children. A new ordinance lias been adopted In Salt Lake Oity with the Idea ot preventing the disseminating of sear 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. Tlie result has been the passage of an ordinance which is probably more stringent thnn 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 nrtlcles used 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 fine of $25. WISE WORDS. Bad grass does not make good hay.— Italian proverb. The tree is not to be judged by its bark—ltalian proverb. Better to fall from the window than the roof.—ltalian proverb. Fools and the perverse fill the law yer's purse.—Spanish proverb. It is better to Irritate a dog than an old woman.—ltalian proverb. Be ignorance thy choice where knowledge leads to woe.—Beattia The fault Is great In proportion to him who commits It.—French proverb. Poverty does not destroy virtue, nor does wealth bestow it.—Spanish pro verb. Deep swimmers and high climbers seldom die in their beds.—Dutch pro verb. Land mortgaged may return, but honosly once pawned is ne'er redeemed. —Middleton. To succeed one must sometimes be very bold and sometimes very pru dent.—Napoleon. Where there is no want of will there will be no want of opportunity.— Spanish proverb. Hares are caught with hounds, fools with praise and women with money.— German proverb. How Mugkrats Are Secured. Muskrats are frequently secured by forcing 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 hatchet 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 breach 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 and 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 011 moon light nights. Large numbers are taken in this manner by sportsmen, but it i 9 not a desirable method of obtaining them for the fur market 011 account of the damage done by the shot. Handy Books of Innultfi. Herr Schuch, a German author, has compiled a dictionary of 2500 lnsult-| iug expressions, carefully tabulated, indexed and classified. The work, on which Herr Schuch has spent years of labor, says the Chicago Chronicle, is called the Schimpfworter Lexikon, and is divided into five gen eral heads—lnsults for men. Insults for women, insults for either 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 tile book to find the exact epithet or phrase which will fit the case. Tills 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 librnry. Psychic Bxperlcnces 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 lias been very strong. When separated they have still been linked -by a chain which an nihilated distance. One lias had a flash of knowledge when the other has been in danger or when death has claimed one and left the other. The explanation has been that in the ab normally strong bond of love between twins, tne longing which comes with the approach of death bridges thou sands of miles and links soul to soul for a brief moment of spiritual iiltei course,—Good Housekeeping. Cultivating Fiult Trees. When my apple trees were young 1 raised a crop ot 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 on a good supply of barnyard dressing, and mulch with meadow liaj. I treat pears and plums in the same way.—A. F. Severance, in New England Home stead. A Cause of Failure. 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 lias 900 acres neai Springfield, Mo., says: "Apple trees in good land should never be planted closer than 30x30 feet apart, and in fairly good not closer than 25x29 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 care 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 tills work it seems to offer splendid returns.—E. E. Miller, In The Epitomist. Melons, Cucumbers 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 tine 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 gerin 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. r By ingtcn. in New England Homestead. Tr.l'U From l'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 inches across. They come in various lengths, but nre used as nearly as possible in live to six foot pieces, being driven two feet into the earth, which brings the top UNPRVNED VINE ON PIPE TRET,LIS. 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 arm and fitting tightly into the top of the large pipe. The vines are cut back to two main brunches each winter. The shoots which bear the fruit start each spring and are allowed to swing free, according to the principle of 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 u 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 terfere. Iron posts, too, do not har bor insects and fungous growth.— American Agriculturist.
