In many places it is necessary to lay
down, for winter, tender climbers like the
clematis, ivy,• etc., and it is desirable to do
this without detach-
ing them from the
trellis which supports
them. In our illus-
tration, Fig. 1, is
shown the lower por-
tion of a folding trel-
lis, and in Fig. 2 the
same is shown folded
down for winter, in
which position the
vine is readily cover -
c. ed with straw or ever -
Timms. green branches, as
desired. The stakes
that are driven in the ground should be of
durable wood, and thoroughly soaked in
oil to prevent decay. They should project
above ground at least
one foot. The lower
hinges may be bolts,
while the upper pin
or stay should extend
across the trellis, as
seen in Fig. L. It
mav thus be used for,
anci will act as a sup -
pert to the vines, and
when removed will allow them to be bent
over without pressing, at right angles.

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT
Which Determieed the Amount of Work
Done in Plowing an Acre.
In. the latter part of September, 1891, an
experiment was undertaken, as a part of
the work of the students in Agricultural
Physics in the University of Wisconsin, to
aacertain the amount of work done by a
team in plowing an acre of ground. The
two essential factors which were to be
determined were: 1, the draft, and 2, the
width of the furrow. The latter is easily
found by direct measurement, but the
former and more important is determined
with somewhat more difficulty. The in-
strument which we used to determine the
draft was the Osterheldt & Eicketneyer-
dvnamometer. Its essential parts are two
strong springs, whose resistance when
stretched certain distances kas been com-
puted, and an index is so connected with
the springs that their stretching causes it
to move and mark, on a scale, the force in
pounds which produced the motion. This
instrument is fixed as the connecting
link between the double trees and bridle
of the plow. The whole pull which the
horses exert is thus communicated to the
springs. In connection with the instru-
ment is a tape measure one hundred feet
long. At the start this is wound up, its
end being joined to a cord or small chain
which is fastened to a stake behind the
plow. This tape runs out as the plow
moves, causing the reel, in which it is coil-
ed, to revolve. This reel is so connected
with the registering part of the instrument,
as to cause it to work only while the tape
is running out, viz., while the plow moves
one hundred feet. The average draft for
one hundred feet is thus registered by the
index. Hoof pressure is omitted.
The draft was determined, in the manner
stated above, for several consecutive trials
of one hundred feet each, on two different
pieces of ground, corn stubble and clover
sod. From the figures thus obtained, the
average draftiwas found to be 365.25 pounds
for the corn stubble and 535.7 pounds for
the clover sod. The average width of the
furrow on each field was 141 inches.
The average depth for the corn stubble
was 5.37 inches, and for the clover sod
4.87inches. With these data we can now
calculate the amount of work required to
plow one acre of either of the fields men-
tioned.
First, taking the corn stubble, we find
that if we consider our acre a strip of
ground eighty rods long and two rods wide,
that, to plow the acre, it will take twenty-
seven furrows 14a inches wide and eighty
rods or 1,320 feet long. To turn these fur-
rows, the three horses must travel
1,320'27, or 35,640 feet, and the average
draft being 365.25 pounds they must do
35,640x365.25 or 13,017,510 foot-pounds of
work. In the same way, with the average`
draft of 535.7 pounds, we find that the
amount of work done in plowing an acre of
clover sod is 19,092,348 foot-pounds. Thus
it took 6,074,838 foot-pounds more work to
plow one acre of corn stubble, although the
corn -stubble furrow is one-half inch deeper
than tbe clover -sod furrow. It requires a
certain number of foot-pounds of work to
plow an acre in one of these fields, ncemat-
ter how rapidly or slowly the work is
performed. But suppose that the rate
is such (and this was practically
the case) that two acres are plowed in
one day of ten hours, or one acre in five
hours; then, if we divide the whole num-
ber of foot-pounds tat work done in plowing
the acre by the time it takes, expressed in
seeonds, we will have the actual amount of
work which the team does per second.
Computing these results, we find that in
plowing the corn stubble, the team does
723.2 foot-pounds of work per second and
1,060:7 foot-pounds per second in plowing
the clover sod. Each horse, in the first
case, does 361.6 foot-pounds per second, in
the second, 530.35 foot-pounds per secoad ;
530 foot-pounds per second is considered to
be the maximum amount of work which
the average horses can do, and is called a
horse -power. Reducing the foot-pounds to
horse -power units, they are found to be .66
and .96 of a horse -power respectively. Thus
we see that, in both cases the work which
the horses do isnot a.bove that which they are
theoretically able to bear on a firm roadway,
yet gi plowing these niellow fields it was
found to be very hard work for two horses,
and three were finally put on the plow. -

A Successful Breeder's Method.
I make sure Of plenty of early pullets of
some good setting strain that begins set
cing in September. They will want to set
about March. My favorite cross is a
White Wyandot cockerel with light
Brahma hens. This cross gives zne very
large cockerels and medium-sized pullets.
The pullets will lay at six months and
want to set about March. The cock-
erels by December and da.nuary will fill out
and dress 10 to 12 lbs. if carefully fattened.
For such birds dry picked I find no trouble
in getting 25c. per lb. wholesale, while
nice 4 to 5-1b. Western stock sells at 12c.,
and home bred of same size brings.no more
if not retailed among acquaintances.
From Aug. 15 to Oet_ 1, I set all I can
from a pen of White Wyandot hens and a
White Leghorn k. Soon as I have all
the fall setters I emit, I marked my old
stock, put the .:Slareli pullets in the ol1.
house and allow t he new house for the
small chickens. rho cockerels I divide
into lots from six to ten, placing them
to fatten in email coops made from large
packing casea obtained from clothing deal-
ers. They are very well made of matched
boards, a box about 4 tea square, coming
at from 75c. to $1, and make grand coops
for setting hens in and mating stock to ob-
ta.in eggs for setting. The late hatched
chicks by good care will be ready for broil-
ers in time to bring Mc. per lb„ and are all
sold, pullets and all, fast as ripe tor dress-
ing off for sale. One of the eretat mistake%
mime oy moat farmers is carrying over the
winter too many old hens. Most hens after
they are through laying and ready to molt
represent a prat, but if left until ready
(after molting) to lay again will him, eaten
more grain value than they have preeiously
earned. It properly marketed when thiough
laying you have the profit and their value
from the market. By good calculation pul-
lets ready to lay may take their place and
by care a good supply of eggs may be ob-
tained while the highest prices rule. -J. C.

DIARRHCEA IN CALVES.
A Timely Article Upon Its Cause and
Treatment.
'Many inquiries come at this season of the
year asking how to cure diarrlapa in young
calves. Top often this effect is produced by
neglect to scald the milk pail in which
the calves are fed. In early calf life,
though the calf has four compartment -
stomachs, yet the fourth, or true stomach,
has nearly all the digestive function to per-
form. The digestive apparatus of young
animals is highly organized with nerves and
blood vessels, and is, in consequence, easily
deranged. Moreover, the stomach and
bowels sympathize with the akin. Over
feeding, tast.feeding, sour and decomposing
milk, left from last,feeding in the pail, sud-
den chill from exposure from rain, wind
and wet ground, all may induce diarrhoet
in -young calves. Even Jersey calves suffer
from too much and too rich milk. It is
best to give' calves their mothers' milk.
Any sudden change may produce baneful
results. All newly -born calves should be
suckled by the mother for two or three
days, as the first milk contains the natural
physic designed for the- removal of the me-
conium, or black, sticky accumulations in
the bowels ot newly -born calves. If not
thus removed, it excites irritation of the
delictite mucous membrane of the bowels.
Weak calves, aud calves of delizate and
feeble mothers, or those having diarrhea or
consumption, are most subject to diarrhosa.
If the calls breath smells sour, the stomach
secretes too inuch acid. Half a teaspoon-
ful of bicarbonate of soda will correct
the state of the organ when given in the
milk at feeding time.- A tablespoonful of
infusion of gentian is a grateful tonic to the
calfs stomach. The infusion is made by
boiling half an ounce of bruised gentian
root in a pint of water for 15 minutes.
Keep the calf lose ; in a dry, sunny stall
nurse the young thing, and when necessary
give calcined magnesia one-half ounce,
powdered opium one or two grains, powder-
ed rhubarb one dram once or twice. Boil
the milk and feed slowly by putting clean
stones in the feed pail. Lime water, a
lump of lime put into a bottle filled with
water, is easily made, for lime is only very
sparingly dissolved in water. If the diar-
rhoea be troublesome, a teaspoonful of
laudanum in ehe milk will restrain it. A
calf should be kept growing thronghout its
calfhood, summer and winter. This brings.
a vigorous constitution to long life -service
of the cow for the dairy, for family or for
breeding purposes. We must hty the foun-
dation for usefulness in animals when
young. Most of our best cows owe their
excellence to care and judicious feeding
from birth up to maturity, arid the same
care is equally beneficial through life. This
is equally true of all of our useful domestic
Stormy Day Work. -
In sections where old rail fences are only
a temptation and not. a hindrance to stock,
some system by which they.can be made
good at slight expense will be welcome. If a
quantity of frames be made like the engrav-
ing the fence may be straightened, laying
the wails ends one on top of another between
the uprights, and the
material will be suffi-
cient usually to more
than fence the whole
line. One will also
reap the advantage of
being able to clear up
the weeds and brush
along the old fence row and crop the laud
more, closely. A slab or plank 34ft. long,
averaging, 2x6 in., will do for 0;e -bottom
piece, strips 2x3 in. for the uprights and
others, 1x9 or 4 for the side braces. Waste
strips that may be bought by the mird for
almost nothing, frequently will serve ad-
mirably, and may be sawed or nailed to-
gether in the barn or shop when storms
prevent outdoor labors. The uprights and
braces are nailed to the bottom piece and to
each other 1 ft. from the top of the uprights,
a space of not over 5 in. being left between
uprights. No fence is better for sheep.
Unless the nails are clinched, wire nails
should not be used, as they draw out so
easily, enduring but little strain and render-
ing the fence *eak. Light poles ean be laid
up between these braces if desired instead
of rails.
The Composition of Urine.
The composition of the urine of cows de-
pends upon the character of the feed and
the amount of water consumed. The urine
of cows contains about three-fiftha of the
nitrogen contained in the feed and about
four-fifths of the potash. Cows' urine con-
tains but traces of phosphoric acid if any.
The average composition of 100 parts, ac-
cording to chemical analyses, is as fol-
lows: Nitrogen 1 per cent., potash 2.2 per
cent. and a slight trace of phosphoric acid.
The average annual amount of urine voided
by cattle is 8,000 lbs. and horses 3,000 lbs.
To feed a liberal portion of the coarse feed
with the grain feed is a well -indorsed prac-
tice, as it assists materielly in a successful
digestion of the grain feed. The good ef-
fect of urine as a manure is largely due to
the fact that it contains all constituents of
plant food in a soluble form and that pot-
ash and nitrogen are quite frequently, in
an exceptional degree wanting in the soil
under cultivation. -Dr. C. A. Goessmann,
Director of Massachusetts Exp. Station.
A Know Nothing Scare.
The "scare" last year on account of the
supposed poisonous covering of grapes with
copper, due t.o the use of the Bordeaux
mixture, has received attention among
scientists. Two samples of grapes which
were condemned as unsafe, were analyzed
at the Hatch experiment station. One of
the samples contained only the two one.
thousandth of one per cent. of copper, re-
quiring the eating of nearly 2,000 pounds of
grapes, stems and all, to produce injurious
effects, while the other sample showed no
poison at all.
How to Prevent a Mare from Ricking.
To prevent a mare from kicking buckle a
strap around her ankles. To the strap at-
tach a rather light chain, say 10 to 12 inch-
es long. This will not mutilate the animal,
but when she kicks will give her an educa-
tional stinging that will spoil her fun. This
device was never known to fail.
Can I Afford a New Dress.
Thousanda of iladies are continually ask-
ing themselves this question, and many of
them find it difficult to satisfactorily answer
it.
The lady who has but an ordinary income

this important question before a final resolve
is made. Even should the way seem clear
to warrant such an item of expenditure, re-
grets are afterwards expressed, when it was
found that the money was more needed in
another direction.

Burglars Down Stairs.
It was three o'clock in the morning when
Mrs. Higinbotham shook her husband.
" Ugt," he responded unconsciously.
"Hiram ! Hiram !" she exclaimed, in a
whisper.
"CJ --Ugh," he observed.
She gave him another shake.
"Hiram," she whispered, "there's rob-
bers down stairs,"
"Ugh ?" he ventured again this time
with a rising Inflection indicatIng that he
was gradually absorbing the idea that some-
thing was wrong.
She gave him a tremendous shake. -
"Ugh," he almost shouted, -sitting
straight up, "what in thunder'a the row,
Maria ?"
She clasped her hand over his mouth.
" Sh-sh-" she whispered, " there's
burgla,rs down stairs."
he growled, "we ought to be
thankful they are not upstairs. Go to
sleep ;" and he fell back to the pillow.
"Riram, I tell you," she insisted, with
another shake, " there's burglars down
stairs. I heard them. You go down and
see what they want."
"Maria," he protested, "I'll do nothing
of the sort. If they don't see what they
want they can ask for it. That's _business."
"But you shall go down, Hiram, and
see," she urged and pleaded at the same
time.
"1 won't I tell You, Maria. Because
your father owns a dry goods store is no
sign:that I believe it is no trouble to show
goods, and I repeat, madam, if those bur-
glars want anything they've got to wait on
themselves. It's after business hours any
way. You must think we run an all-night
plaice. Go to sleep, I tell you."
Mrs. Higinbotham gave a sudden clutch
at his arm.
" There " she nearly screamed, "1 hear
them coming up stairs, now."
"Well, dear," he said soothingly, "you'd
better jumpl up and put on a dues. It
will never do in the world for you to reoeive
strange gentlemen in your present attire.,"
"We'll be murdered in our beds," she
wailed.
.
"Do you really think you will ?" he in-
quired with some interest.
" I'm sure of it, Hiram," she sobbed.
Suppose you get out and He on the floor,
Maria' and then you won't be," he sug-
gestedheartlessly. "I'm willing to take
mine right here in bed, where its warm."
Mrs. H. began to cry.
" What's the matter, Maria ?" Mr. H.
asked, -as if he had just that moment dis-
covered her grief.
" You're a mean, horrid man, Hiram
Higinbotham," she said, in her natural
voice and she began to get out of bed.
"Where are you going, Maria ?" he in-
quired, uneasily.
" Downataire," she answered heroically.
"As between you up stairs and the burglars
down stairs, I prefer the burglars' " and
down stairs she went, and the blackcat in
the preserve closet upset four jars of her
finest quinces in its mad effort to escape.
She screamed, but Hiram Higinbotham
made no sign; he knew he had forgotten to
put the cat in the cellar when he ehut the
house up for the night and reported to his
wife that everything was all right.
Strawberries.
Strawberries and Whipped Cream. -Silt
powdered sugar over a layer of hulled and
washed strawberries, arranged in a deep
dish, and cover with strawberries again,
t en with sugar, till the dish is nearly
flfled. This should be done just before they
are served. Pour over them a large cupful
of cream whipped with the whites of two
eggs and two tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar.
Strawberriee and Oranges. -Cover a quart
of strawberries with powdered sugar, pour
over them a teacupful of orange juice and
serve at once. Very delicious.
Strawberry Pie. --Line a pie plate with
thin paste and set in the oven till nearly
baked. Take from the oven and fill with
sugared berries, dredge with flour, cover the
top, diamond wise, with narrow strips of
paste, return to the oven and finish baking.
Crushed Strawberries. -Where straw-
berries are small or inferior in appearance
they may be crushed, sweetened and mixed
with the beaten whites of two or three eggs.
Berries and eggs should first be thoroughly
chilled. on ice, then served as soon as mixed.
Strawberry Pudding. -Make a jam by
mashing fresh strawberriee and sweetening
to the taste. Spread slices of light whole
wheat bread with the jam, and pile them
one above another in a pudding dish. Pour
over the whole thin cream sufficient to
moisten well; cut into pieces and serve. A
simple custard may be used in the place of
cream if preferred.
Strawberry Shortoake.-Mix two heaping
teaspoonfuls of baking powder with one
quart of flour. Beat one egg, mix in two
tablespoonfuls of melted butter and one of
sugar, with nearly one pint of new milk, and
stir all together. Make it as thin as can be
handled. Knead little, and bake in two or
three pans. Run a hot knife around the
edges, pull apart with the fingers, better
the split eidei, and over them spread &veil
berries either whole and dredged with sugar
or crushed and eweetened. Pile one section
with the other, and serve, if possible, with
cream. The cake should be about three-
fourths of an inch thick before baking, and
from fifteen to eighteen minutes will be
tirne enough.
Strawberry Ice Cream. -To a quart of
cream and a half pint of milk allow a quart
of fresh strawberries and a pound of sugar,
using more sugar if the berries are very acid.
Mash the berries and Sugar to a pulp, add
the milk and the cream well whipped, mix
thoroughly and freeze.
Strawberry Flossies.-Line a mold with
ice cream, fill the centre with berries'cover
with ice cream. Pack well with salt and
ice and let it stand for half an hour. These
will be found delicious.
Arranging Other's Love Affairs.
Two business men, who have long been
warm friends, met the other day. One of
them had a gloomy look, and his friend fin-
ally asked him what the matter was. It
was the old story. His son had fallen in
love, and wanted to marry a girl
whom he had not known a year. The father
was opposed to the match, but he did not
like to interfere. " Let me tell you a

Canada's Idea. .
The question of the United States p.nnex-
ing Canada, of which a great deal his been
said, arouses the Canadians, who are in-
tensely loyal and very jealous of their
rights.
A Scotch tourist, Mr. Alexander Craik,
who traveled recently through Canade, sug-
gests that they would welcome annexation
if it came in their way, which is somewhat
like tbe way of the old Cameronian Woman.
At the time when it was debated whether
the small body of Cameronians should not
unite with the Free Church of Scotland, a
much larger body, this old woman was
greatly exercised in her mind as to thifuture
of her Church.
"-So you're to jine wi' the Free Kirk, are
you ?'' asked a neighbor. :
"Na,na," she replied, "they can jine fa
likes, but we're nee to dae that, I hottp, for
we were a 'Church lang afore the Free was
born, and if there'. tae be -any jinin' it maun
be the Free Kirk to jine wi' us." -Youth's

The Nicaragua Canal. ,
For many years -in fact, it might proper-
ly enough be said for several centuried-one
of the world's great maritime projects has
been a ship canal across the Central Ameri-
can isthmus. 'The question was diseussed
by navigators as long ago at l'550,' when
Europe wished a quicker route to the East
Indies. ,
From time to time. efforts have been made
to arrange for building a canal, but fPr one
reason or another all the early plans eticoun-
tered obstacles and were abandoned. e
Meanwhile the commerce transported be-
tween the Atlantic and Pacific - Oceanwas
increasing. Much of it went, and still goes,
by the long sea route around Cape Horn.
Some of it, later on, was carried by rail
across tbe Isthmus of Panama, and put on
another ship in the opposite ocean. 1 '
Not many years ago Ferdinand de Les -
saps, the builder of the famous Suez Canal,
persuaded the French people to undl rtake
the building of a canal at the Isthilus of
Panama. An enorrnpus amount of Money
was spent in the work, but the Panama
Canal has never been, and possibly !never
will be, finished. Although twica the
amount originally estimated has been ex-
pended the canal is not one-fourth dorm.
Eight years ago an effort was made to
provide for the construction, by our own
people, of a canal in Nicaiagna. The isthmus
is wider at that point than at Panamt, but
half -way between the two oceans *Lake
Nicaragua, one hundred miles long,iwhile
running from the 'lake to the Atlantic ts the
river San Juan, navigable for much Of ite
course. This made a far simpler problem
than that of de Lesseps.
In the year 1884, a treaty was , pro-
posed by which the United States 'Gov-
ernment was itself to build the canal,
in conjunction with the Nicaraguan republic.
This treaty failed of approval. President
Cleveland withdrew it from consideration
by the Senate, on the ground that it coMmit-
ted this nation to ownership of territory
outside its own limits, and made promirs of
protecting a foreign nation against ()aside
aggression; a promise which the President
considered dangerous, as it might involve us
ID the future disputes of foreign nations.
Two years later, then, a private corpora-
tion was formed in this country to build the
canal without government aid, and it is this
company which is now building the canal. *
The company made its own arrange.ment
with Nicaragua, was guaranteed certam ex-
clusive rights- and privileges, and agreScl to
finish the canal in ten years. ,
The Nicaragua Canal, when finished, will
traverae 25 miles of ceuntry from the Atlan-
tis coast to the San Juan river. As this is
high ground, several great locks are to be
built in the canal. The river is then te be
used for -65 miles to Lake Nicaragua.
From the western shore of the lake the
canal will descend the slope by way of three
more locks, and thus by a route of lees pan
18 miles reach the Pacific ocean. ;
Only a few miles of the canal have yet
been dug out. There was much work lio be

done at Greytown, its Atlantic terminus.
ie
Moreover, the line of the panel w stward
had to be cleared of a dense tropical lgrowth,
and arrangements made for parrying:1n ma-
terial and supplies. But the work le going
forward busily, and five Million dollars have
already been spent. The spm was, raised

toThe whole work is estimated tb cost a
hundred million dollars, or about tbe same
as the Suez Canal. The greater part of this
money still remains to be raised. It has
been proposed that the United States Gov-
ernment lend Its aid by "guaranteeing" the
company's bonde and taking a majority of
its stook.
The argument for this is, that it would
prevent the canal's ownership from going,
by purchase of its stook, into foreign bands.
But this -is a matter for future discuesion.-

If you are a policy man, read Daniel.
If you are getting sordid, spend a while
