SCIENTIFIC NOTES. I Eighty-seven In every 100 Canadian farmers own their farms. ' A rapid growth of the finger nails is considered to indicate good health. Only about one out of every fifteen persons has bcth eye3 in perfect condition. ; The number of horses in the United States January 1, 1900, was nearly 14,000,000. ' A healthy horse eats nine times its weight in food in a year, a healthy cheep six times. j A new putty knife, the invention of a New Yorker, has a scraper attached to remove the surplus putty. French mines yielded 37,971,738 metric tons of coal last year, 5S7.374 tons more than the year before. A Louisiana man has patented a combined pickle fork and tongs, the fatter operated by a ring In the handle. The alloy of cerium and iron, which emits sparks when rubbed, has been Introduced in a recently invented gas lighter. ; A Georgia man claims to have discovered the secret of producing a iblack rose and Is seeking ?. patent for his process. It is a Kansas woman who ha3 been granted a patent upon a fan provided jwith a sheet of absorbent material to hold water to cool the air which it agitates. I One of the most Ingenious French aviators, is trying out a combined jdirigible balloon and aeroplane, a .clgar-shaped gas bag helping to raise and support the machine. ! A hog's habit of scratching itself against a post has led to the invention of an automatic disinfector for anlimals, which it sprays as they rub against a supporting column. ' A patent has been granted on a jroasting pan for meat which automatically bastes It3 contents by collecting the juices through a percolator and delivering them In the form of spray. The word "caloriculture" has been coined to designate the new system of horticulture which 13 designed to replace the old French style of intensive .fruit and vegetable forcing by soil cultivation. DRINKING TUBE IS SANITARY So Arranged That When Mouthpiece Is on Level With Person's Mouth Water Spouts Gently. A common fault of ordinary sanitary drinking fountains is the waste of water, but a prinking device of this, and, although only running when In use. It is likewise claimed to be Impossible to get a drink from it before the mouthpiece 13 thoroughly cleansed. It is attached to a water pipe In .the same manner that a faucet is attached flush to the wall. When a drink is wanted, the lever is pushed upward and the mouthpiece forward on a line with the drinker's mouth. The water spouts up gently with a sufficient scouring action to cleanse the mouthpiece and in a stream sufficiently great to obviate the necessity of touching it with the lips. In this Fountain Drinking Tube. it embodies the principle of the flowing cups which are frequently found on street fountains, with the added advantage that the water is running only when a person is drinking. When the lever Is let go the water Is automatically shut off. The Costly Moequito. Dr. I O. Howard calls attention to the enormous money losses caused by mosquitoes. The value of real estate in regions infested by them 13 reduced beyond calculation. The development of the whole state of New Jersey, says Doctor Howard, has been held back by the moscuito plague. In several states land3 eminently fitted for grazing and dairying cannot be effectively used for such purposes because of the attacks of mosquitoes on the cattle, which reduce the yield of milk. In the vicinity of New York and Philadelphia large areas of land are rendered almost uninhabitable by swarms of these Insects, and thi3 notwithstanding the advances made in the destruction of their breeding-places, says Youth's Companion. In some parts of the northwestern states horses have to be covered in the daytime with sheets to protect them from the attacks of mosquitoes. Doctor Howard estimates the cost of louse screens in the United States at $10,000,000. The remedy is more effective means of extermination. Moving Pictures In Color. The Literary Digest translates from the Paris Nature an account of a device for producing moving pictures in colors. It is the Invention cf William Friese-Green. He uses filters made of thin celluloid ribbon to take his negative films. The band Is divided into sections, colored in the order, red, green, blue and so on, indefinitely. The sensitive film and filter ribbon pass the shutter of the camera together as the successive pictures are taken. The same ribbon is used when the pictures are reproduced on the screen, when If the machine Is operated swiftly, the persistence of vision gives the appearance it a single moving picture in natural colors. Elevator in St. Peter's. An electric elevator has been installed in the stairway whih leads to the cupola of St. Peter's church in Rome. Thq elevator has a capacity for carrying ten persons. It bears an appropriate Latin Inscription. Stomach Telescope.

MOST UNIQUE BUTTON-WATCH In Many Cases It Is Worn Unprotected on Sleeve of Coat Fastened by Shank. One of the most novel of the many novel forms of watches is the button watch invented by a New York man. The case of this watch is the sIzö and saape of an ordinary button, suck as is vorn on a man's coat sleeve, bu hollow, and the works are inside. The dial Is fastened to the case by a long, Odd Button Watch. strong shank. There can be a pockel In the cuff of the coat sleeve Intc which the little time piece will fit but in some cases it Is made to wcai unprotected on the sleeve. Except for the face it would be almost impos sible to tell it from the other buttons on the coat. Tthere used to be novelty watch that was worn in the buttonholes of the coat lapel, but this one is used as a regular button. WIND GUIDE FOR AERONAUTS Furnishes Aid Corresponding to Pilot Charts of Ocean Navigator ' Record of Years. A unique sign of the times is Dr Richard Assmann's guide to the winds of Germany, prepared from the records of the direction and force of tho winds kept at forty-nine well-distributed stations for an average of nearly twenty-one years. It furnishes the aeronaut with an aid corresponding the pilot charts of the ocean naviga tor. For each season and each sta tion It shows how often, on the aver, age, the wind blows from each of eight directions, and the average frequency of the various degrees of wind between a calm and a hurricane. It indicates the best places and times for making ascents, with the direction air-, ships without high power will probably drift. More than this, it suggests the best location for airship sheds and" ports, and gives evidence that not, only are places near the coast unsuitable, but that many inland stations are uncomfortably stormy. Frledrichs-j hafen, chosen by Count Zeppelin for his great sheds, is an unfavorable place for handling the huge airships. The records show that It has an average of twenty-four stormy days a year' while Celle has only twenty-two such days, Berlin and Cassel only four, and seven other stations less than ten. New Use for Moving Picture. The moving picture Is now applied to educational purposes. Chemical tests are now exhibited on the screen.' There are films illustrating the electrolysis of water, the action of nitric acid on silver, and action of aqua regia on metallic gold, etc. The test tube is thrown on the screen many times enlarged and the chemical action clearly illustrated. Most unsavory but educational I3 a film illustrating the peril of the fly. The flies are shown laying eggs in unsavory places, and before the eyes of the spectators the eggs develop in heaps of wriggling maggots. In the final fctrge the winged fly is shown in all 'ts unsanitary glory. Still another 1 film exhibits the acrobatic fly lying on its fyet. and even swinging a dumbbell as large as the insect itself. For Mixing Concrete. For mixing concrete a spade has been Invented with long, oval holes in the blade, the perforations allowing the finer cem nt to flow through and give the face a finer finish.

SOLVES PROBLEM OF AUTOMATIC

Isis

THE-

THE government authorities are anxiously awaiting further tests of the Christman flying machine with a view to purchasing some of these remarkable aeroplanes for military use. The wonderful feature of this device of Dr. William W. Christman is that it seems to have solved the problem of automatic equilibrium. It is self-balancing In flight, without the use of auxiliary balancing devices of any kind. The harder the wind blows, the stifrer and more stable It becomes, thus eliminating the heretofore great danger of flying in windy weather. The machine is the only one in existence which can "hover" or remain perfectly still in the air when the engine is Inoperative. It has a lifting capacity of 1,500 pounds. Seventy-five gallons of gasoline can be carried, giving a range of travel of 300 miles or more without coming to the ground.

BAR WOMEN AT HUNT

English Sportsman Shows Indignation at Cancellation of Race. Reference to "Marsports" Demonstrates Fact That Games Calling for Grit and Determination Are Dwindling in Popularity. London. The woman's role on the hunting field has been a continual source of discussion among English fox hunters, but the close of the present season sees the subject crop up in a new light. Point to point races are a regular feature of the winding up of the hunting with most of the packs, and of late years women's races frequently are included in the program. This year the Essex hunt's point to point races were to have included a woman's race, but that event was canceled at the last moment, although five women had entered. The incident caused speculation in hunting circles, and now the affair gets additional interest from a sporting challenge by Sir Claude de Crespigny, who, although over sixty years old, is a fine, all around sportsman and an adept with the gloves. Sir Claude has sent the following epiftle to an Essex paper: "At the point to point meeting I was informed the women who had In so sporting a spirit entered for the race were furious at the event being struck off the program. I beg to inform them that I share their indignation, and the elimination was without my knowledge or approval. "So far as I can make out some silly old women, not of female sex, set about worrying the honorable secretary, threatening to absent themselves if the "race was left in. What difference would their nonattendance have had on the meeting? "A much greater sportsman than any of these marsports offered to produce twelve women from his own hunt who would pound any twelve men iof any hunt. "If any of the objectors resent my description of them they will know where to find me." Sir Claude's reference to twelve women who would pound any twelve men of any hunt gives ,- point to the lament raised by a contributor to the Weekly Nation over the decadence of British sport. The games which call for grit and determination, he says, are dwindling in popularity. He especially refers to the fact that while fox hunting attracts larger fields, the standard of horsemanship has not improved among men. This, he thinks, due to the fact that in the rising generation men for the most part devote their attention to motoring rather than horsemanship.

Innovations In the form of women shoe shiners are to be introduced to New Yorkers In the near future by the United Shoo Shining company. The women are to shine the shoes of the members of the fair sex in parlors that will be established in all parts of the city for them exclusively. Other parlors for men will be estab lished in all the principal hotels, congregating places and street corners. At least, the prospectus of the company says so. The company declares it has an authorized capital of $1,500.000, with shares at one dollar each. The stock is being underwritten at 35 cents a share.

Long attributes this fact to the proximity of a red rose bush and says that by next year, when the roots of the bushes mingle, the red Stripe will be even more pronounced.

"That theory is a false one. Dozens of times I have seen women, who well know the risks they ran in taking certain lines of country when the hound3 are running hard, give men who were hesitating at an awkward fence a lead over, for woman's intuition and her quickness of thought and decision serve her in the hunting field Just as they do elsewhere. "It is curious, but it may be significant, that while the vast proportion of men of the well-to-do class seem to be satisfied with amusements needing neither nerve . nor grit, the women are becoming more addicted to games and forms of sport that call for' the risk of limb and sometimes life. "Whether the fashion of riding astride, which steadily has spread since Mrs. Alfx Tweedie set the example. Is to be recommended it Is hard to say." When one lotes how the women of England are growing taller, stronger and hardier, while there is a general tendency toward physical degeneration in men, one wonders if an Amazonian England is a possibility of the future.

Discover Rest for Weary

Berlin Specialist Claims to Have Found Cure for Tired Feeling Experiments With Dogs. Berlin. Prof. Loewy of the Berlin Agricultural High school, a famous specialist, has arranged so that nobody need ever be tired any morehas found how to inoculate us against that exhaustion of vital energy which we call getting l'agged out. Perfectly serious he is about it. He has discovered that a substance railed ppermin injected under the skin removes the symptoms of exhaustion and enables weary creatures to go on working long after nature usually cries "Halt!" Some trained dogs were set like prisoners to run everlastingly uphill over an electricrlly-driven treadmill. They were kept at this until the poor beasts looked ready to drop with exhaustion and the chemical tests showed that the drain on what constitutes energy in dogs and men was too great to be longer maintained. Then the professor injected large doses of spermln under the dogs' hids. will be found the very latest newspapers and current literature." Options on the principal shoe shining parlors have been obtained, It is reported, and new stand3 will be established as well. The business will be conducted on "chain" lines similar to restaurants and cigar store systems. Sends Twenty Thousand Tulips. Paris. The queen of Holland has made a charm'ng gift to Tarls.

Y.) girl who has been exhibited all over the country, gave considerable trouble to the officers of the steamship Aymeric. Miss Trixie, with her brother. Baby Trixie, are being taken to the big exposition at Nanking, China, to be held this summer, and when the fat' girl arrived at the wharf the .trouble began by the captain being called on to provide a gangplank sufficiently strong to 'allow Miss Trixie to board the ship. The gang plank was made, but a ten-foot section had to be taken out of the ship's rail to admit the 92-lnch hips of the fat New York girl. Then how to get her Into the cabin and from the cabin into a state room and from the state room to a berth large and strong enough, etc., etc., caused the captain and first officer to have brainstorms. The two "children" one is twenty and the other eighteen together weigh 1,281 pounds. They will have to sleep on the floor of their state rooms on this trip across the Pacific. Miss Trixie was finally settled com fortably in the finest room on board the ship, but her meals will have to be brought to her. for the. door to the saloon is too small for her girth and the stairs are too weak to hold her weight.- Strange to say, the fare of these two heavyweights is the samo as it is for a ninety-six-pound Chinaman who is returning to his father land. In three experiments the immediate result was a great recovery from ex nausuon and the dogs were set to work again on their treadmill and trot ted off, if not as fresh as ever, yet dis tinctly no longer overtired.

DAIRY NOTES. Plenty of sunlight in the cows' stable The simple brick-shaped pound print s the raost popular way in which but ter can be marketed. It is best to raise your ov;n dairy cows if possible to do so. Then you know what j'ou have. It requires grain as well as rough ness to produce butter fat, and butter fat at present prices is what pays. A liberal banking of sheds on the north side will prove a boon to the cows when the cold weather comes. The Babcock tester never finds that very good cows are owned by a poor feeder. Remember even the best dairy cow cannot pay good returns without plenty of good feed. A pail of milk standing in a foul stable for ten minutes will absorb enough bad odors to spoil it. The condition of the animal as well as the condition of the market should determine the time to sell stock. Before warm weather comes pre pare a cool place for the milk and cream. Make the milk and cream room cool, sweet and clean. Some of the biggest dairy farms pay the smallest interest on capital in vested, and some of the smallest pay the biggest. Some men are land and cow poor. The dairyman who does not use the Babcock tester' in determining the value of his cows should sell his dairy, buy a grocery, and sell sugar by guess. The man who does not get more than two dollars returns from every dollar's worth of feed his cows consume hps not yet learned the first les son of food dairy management. PUMP FOR WATERING STOCK Detailed Instructions, With Illustration, Showing How to Make One Cheaply. A pump is an absolute necessity on any farm and, the nearer it is located to the live stock, the better. By folThl way TO PgT CneCK VAUvEOhN Home-Made Pump. lowing the directions given below one can be constructed with small ex pense: Get check valves $i inch to an inch in size and pipes to fit. Bore a hole in the side of pump barrel near the bottom, put in a nipple and screw on a check valve. Then screw on an el bow with the opening upward. In the bottom of barrel bore a l-lnch hole and put a piece of leather over it. Leather should be put on the inside vl barrel and nailed down on only one side so it can flap up and down. Make the plunger of hard wood, ma king it to fit rather loosely on the in side of barrel. For a rod get a straight pole IU inches square and fasten it securely to the plunger. When this Is dono all that remains Is to make a box frame for rod running to pump handle and a frame to run the pipe out of the top of well. To do this take boards long enough to reach down into the water, cut the ends off square and plane them smooth. Then, using a square, make a box 4 inches square on the inside. The barrel with its valves should be sunk below the surface of the water 14 to 2 feet. By putting two elbows on the upper end of pipe the water will be thrown downward Into pail or trouglu The pump can be let down into the well by nailing cleats on the sides, but one must be careful not to let the nails go through into the barrel and thereby spoil the pump. This pump can only be used In shallow wells, as it could not be made strong enough for a deep well. SUCCULENCE IN MILK FOODS Water Which Cow Gets In Her Food Rather Than That She Drinks That Goes Into Milk. (By CI IAS. C. WENTZLER.) Succulence is a term applied to foods which contain a certain propor Hon of water. Milk is 84 per cent tvater. In summer cattle get all the gucculence they require. In winter succulent foods have to be furnished 1 we expect to keep up the milk flow. It is the water which the cow gets in her food rather than the water which she drinks that goes Into the milk. Much of the water which she drinks is used by nature to carry off pertain chemicals in the system for which she has no longer any use. The excess of nitrogen is carried off in this way and gives this expelled water an ammonia odor. All grains contain some water, Imt not enough. Silo and roots are rich in water content. When her ration is made up of a share of succulence in winter the cow keeps up her normal supply. But it is due to this principle that an improperly winterfed cow, increases her milk flow when she is returned .to pasture in the sprirg. Raising Calf on Milk. It is an expensive proposition to raise a calf on milk at the present market price. The quantity of milk which a calf will require for its maintc nance and growth may be somewhat reduced b7 early teaching the calf to eat hay, corn and other foods. The young calf will learn to eat shelled corn at four or five weeks of age and hay at the same age, or even earlier. By giving it these feeds twice daily regularly the milk ration may be reduced.

RAISING THE HEIFER CALVES T

Two Important Factors to Keep In Mind In Producing Future Milk Cows. Within only a very few years it will be as difficult to buy good cows or good heifer calves as it will be to buy good land, and the man who begins now to breed to good stock and saves and properly raises his heifer calves will be in a positon to make money in the production of milk or butter or to sell stock at high figures. There are two important things to keep in mind in producing calves for future milk production. One Is that the dam shall be of known good record and the other Is that the sire shall be of a line of dams of exceptionally high record. Breed only to the sire that is known positively to be of a high producing strain, even if the season cost twice or three times as much as that from one 'of unknown merit. Five or ten dollars extra in this matter will make a difference in the fuFerris Golden Winnie. ture earning power of the female offspring of from one hundred to several hundred dollars, counting the number of years she will give milk and the number of calves she will give birth to, which in turn are to become producers. A calf is about the cheapest and easiest large animal raised on the farm. The production of calves in the dairy busines ls a necessity in order to have the cows freshen yearly, or at regular Intervals. As far as feed and care are concerned, it is almost as easy to raise a $100 calf as It is to raise a $10 one. There is good profit In the former, but absolutely no profit in the latter. In fact, a cheap calf consumes much more feed than It will sell for on the open mp.rket. Many a calf sold for veal at, say $8, consumes $10 or $12 worth of milk before it is marketed. For this reason many dairymen .either kill or give away their calves at birth. Of course all male calves, except those of high grade saved for breeding purposes, must be disposed of at an early age at no profit, except on farms where pasture is very plentiful and they are saved for beef steers But the raising of a good heifer calf will more than com pensate the loss. The illustration shows the head of Ferris Golden Winnie, a champion 2-year-old Jersey heifer, owned by the Wisconsin State Farm. SHOVEL-KINK VERY USEFUL Excellent Implement for Digging Up Muddy Ground Readily Cleans . Itself. ' . A railroad grader lately visiting the writer showed him the shovel-klnk herewith Illustrated. As the Idea seems good, we pass it along, writes J. E. Bridgeman in Farm and Ranch. The writer was opening up a small ditch that drained one corner of a cow pasture. The ground being very muddy, the dirt stuck to the shovel, causing us to do more or less cleaning of same. Our visitor remarked that It was not at all necessary, and proved it by the simple method herewith Illustrated. The six three-eighth-inch holes were drilled through the shovel, and It at once caused same to scour. Even the A Shovel Kink. thick mud would readily leave the blade. The holes, I suppose, allowed the air to escape from the surface between the shovel and the dirt At any rate, the shovel readily cleaned itself. Cow Testing Organizations. In some parts of the country the farmers are forming county cow testing organizations through which they hope to weed out the deadhead boarders from their herds. One small association which conducted this work last season found many cows which were drones supported by others of the herd. These have gone to the block and the dairy business has been put upon a more profitable basis. This should be an incentive to every other section of the country to take similar steps, and while on this point why would it not be a good idea to tag the owners? Cheap Roofing Paper. A cheap grade of roofing paper makes a good lining for the cow stable.' It may be put on the inside and held in place by plastering lath or thin boards nailed through to the outside board. This will keep out the cold winds and keep in the warmth. Choosing Cow for Butter. In choosing cows for butter production the quantity as well as the richness of the milk must be considered. A cow testing three per cent, butter fat may produce more butter than one which tests five per cent., provided she makes up in quantity of milk. Don't be afraid to use disinfectants about the cow stables. To be sure milk soon absorbs the odor of these things, but milk has no business standIng around the stable a minute after 1 cow If finished.
