The Brussels Post, 1901-8-1, Page 74100..7 NIAGARA RUNE % MU GREAT LAKES WILL DRAIN Tl`T- TO THE MISSISSIPPI,. 131111 Net Happen for Three ''hen- sand Years -History of the Gorge, Before Niagara falls, which aro now cutting their way backward along the bed of tate river to Lake Erie at the rate of about Pour foot a year, reads the hoecl of Grand Is - ii ncl, less than five utile away, there Will be no Niagara. The whole syee tem of the, Creat taloa is changing, The waters of : Lake Michigan at Chicago are slowly rising, end Lake Erie is growing shallow. Eventually, unlese a dam is built. to prevent it, as has been proposed, Lake Michigan will overflow to the Illinois River, as it did centuries ago in the last period; d; tn basin of Lake Erie Will be tributary to Lake Huron, the current will be reversed. in the Detroit and the St Clair channels, 7td the whole la. o system will drain southward into -the Mississippi. Then Niagara will vanish. From a majesticostic cataract the Palls wl11. dwindle to a few threads - of water falling over aPiocirico asmay bo . seen in the summer soaeo}i ilt the upper falls of the Genesce•at Roch- ester. All that they will carry will be the drainage of the immediate neighborhood. There isn't luny occasion for alarm for the present, however„ for al this will take place in from two to three thousand years from now, and many things may happen befog then, Also, as it is IE EXTREMELY .UNLIKELY that the elixir of life will bo discov- ered in this generation, nobody now alive need worry much about it. But that is what the great lake sys- tem is tending to. as is set forth by Prof. Amadeus W. Grabau, S.D„ of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, N. IY. It will be from 500 to 600 years before the 'tendency' of the lakes to a new drainage' bed is plainly mani- fested, according to the authorities cited by Prof. Grabreu. Tho rising of the waters of Lake Michigan at pre- sent is et the rate of nine or ten in- ches a century. The first water to overflow will be that at some high stage of the lake, and the discharge may at first be intermittent, For a mean lake stage such a discharge will begin in about 1,000 years, but after 1,500 years there will be no interruption. In about 2,000 years the Illinois River and the Niagara will carry equal shares of the surplus water of the great 'lakes, and in 3,500 ' years, for certain, there will be no Niagara. THE PLAN PROPOSED' CARYVVRAMMiC4 O[ THcra E FARM. 0,,, PASTURING 013011A11AS, Shoop 'and hogs are tho' only do- mvstio animals that should be pas- tured 1n an orchard of young fruit trees of any kind, and they need to be carefully watched that no dater age is dono, The liege are liable to rub the true trunks, but this can be in a measure prevented by driving rubbing stakes into the ground at various points' .hut especially near the trough or the sleeping shelter. Shope are liable 1,0 strip the bark from the trunks, especially in the early' spring,' as it appears to con- tain a bitter eleinent which they crave. ; Theymay not di Y stover Chia bark ration for game time; but whoa they do both large and small trees aro stripped. inatla. Both sheep and hogs most greedily devout• the fallen fruit, whether it contains worms or is decayed. s Flog will eat all fallen fruits from cherries to apples, while 0 611 are d e a fond of PP c p n P apples, Th There is some -talc in al- lowing owns cattle the r g e an a of an a to S P p orchard after the fruit is nearly 'de- veloped as they aro often choked by attempting to swallow whole apples. 11 the trees are trained low they will pull the fruit from the lower branch- es and in a playful mood, 'hook the 1 limbs and trunks. Horses and colts will also pull the fruit from the trees, and if disposed can roach 1 o •some distance from the ground, Pasturing orchards, whether .re- cently sot or old and well developed, is attended with many risks, in most casesnot commensurate with tri Isupposed gala. T1 orchards wer planted with ,hoed crops, or kop fertilized and cultivated, this ques- tion of pasturing them would nevon have to bo discussed, and the owner in a term of years be equally as well off financially. The trees certainly would be in a better condition, not only as fruit producers, but for re- sisting the attests of disease, which a ]Leavy sod seems to favor. to stop the tendency is to erect an inunenso dam in the Niagara River above Buffalo, with the object of checking, and eventually decreasing the outflow. It is argeed, that this would not greatly decrease the pow- er of Niagara, now "valuable, but there are authorities who contend that .this argument is absurd, and the plan is opposed on that account. This tilting of the territory in the north-west is a curious phenomenon for which the .geologists cannot wholly account. It is plainly record- ed in the beaches of the old glacial lakes, which had a uniform eleva- tion while forming, but now are no longer of a uniform height above the sea level, rising progressively toward the north-east. The he rnove- ment is still going on. Niagara Falls carne into existence when the waters of Lake Iroquois, which in ages long rust was the pre- decessor of Lake Ontario, fell be- neath the level of the escarpment at Lewiston. At first the Falls were only a small cataract. but year by year as the lake subsided the catar- act gained in height and conse- quently in force of fall as well as ef- ficiency in cutting its channels. The Niagara gorge from Lewiston to trio present Falls is believed to be whol- ly the product of river ' erosion. Before the advent of the Falls the • Niagara was A PLACID STREAM from lake to lake much as it is to- day from 13ugalo to the northern end of Grand Island. It cut shallow banks into the glacial till and their traces are seen now in some places a mile back from the edge of tho gorge which the Falls have since cut It has been patiently cutting that gorge for thousands of years, how many the geologists cannot tell, but they place the total at not loss than 1.0,000'or more than 50,000. Ono geologist, Prof. Hitchcock, puts the beginning of the groat cataract at 1020 B.0,, which is 300, years before the time of Romulus, or about tho period in which Icing David reigned in Jerusalem. tl tem: As long as the river is narrow and vigorously undercuts its bank's, the latter will be steep and the river channel will have the character of a gorge. This continues as long as the river is cutting downward, that is, till the grade of the river bottom is a very gentle one. Then the spreading of the current undercuts the banks, and atmospheric degrada- tion quickly destroys the cliffs, which the river does not keep per- pendicular, Niagara, gorge changes greatly_ oven in a century.

Farmers who engage in the poultry business generally leave a great deal of the management of poultry to t11 wife or some other member of th family. Whoever may be in charg of the poultry is very apt to becom careless fa their managernent, rathot doubling their etiorts. We ar prone to lose sight of one though During the winter the suprem thought is to keep the poultry warm and furnish as much of summer col ditions as possible and when warm weather comes we feel that the pro- per conditions are hero and then will be but very little to do in the way of management. Summer is a critical time for botl old and young. The young aro to bo fed, cared dor and kept from enemies and disease, and the old have ep- proached that season when they must take a vacation. This is a. time when disease is spread very rapidly and when lice are on the in- crease and also on the alert. Wet, dirty poultry houses are often over- looked and chickens may select some nearby tree as their home Tho own- er is liable to think this is due more to the heat than from any other cause. Chickens that leave their regular roosting place and 'roost in the trees have something oleo fur an excuse than the heat. Cleanliness is certainly a Mendelian to success and in the summer time when it is more essential than any other sea- son. Shade will have to be furnished and it should bo provided in abund- ance. There are so many ways that it can be furnished that thorn is no excuse for being without it. Among the plants that will make quick shade for poultry whore there are no trees are sun -/Towers, castor beans and hemp plaits. These can be planted in the spring and will afford a great deal of shade by the time the heated term appears. A11 or- chard is a regular paradise Inc hens, and if there bo a plum orchard, no bettor place can be had for the good of both Hens and plum trees. A little patch of rye sown in some convenient place will afford pastur- age. In snrntlter the fight must bo al- ways on as against lice and mites. It is Oiliest always in order to fight these pests now. Whatever remedy is employed it means to keep always at it. It will not pay to forget the poultry in summer if they aro to be on hand to be remembered in the winter. Rot weather will suggest the hind of management for fowls and if some of these suggestions can be carried out the poultry will not surfer r h from at weather, hogs must be given the very best of attention and carefully looked after at all times it they aro to give best results, OAR17 OF FARM MACHINERY.. It pays to take good care of the machinery, Many people leave their implements out in the wet and have an endless chain of expense for re - Pairs, which could- have been avoid- ed had they used good judgment. Ono should have a good machine shed and keep all implements itt it. e 1 A• t the close o of the season carefully Im- o' i p e be areful y exau 0lined, everything should be secure, 0.l and if any defects are found they rshould be remedied at once, instead o of waiting t111 the machine is want - t• l ed for use. When the paint begins o to wear badly the machine should be re -painted, which, besides increasing 1- its durability, improves its appear- ance. Everything, about the farm should be run in the same fashion, 0i Barns should bo painted, harness oil- ed, and horses curried. A trim farmer is generally a prosperous 1 farmer. BEST METHODS 01P CUI,TIVA- TION., T em very mueh;inteeested in the idea that deep cultivation of trees is very injurious to them, writes Me. John Chamberlain. All stirring of the soil. is iu itself a benefit to the crop, but it is easy to disturb the roots of a plant or tree if the plow or lion gods down deep and so do it harm. I' ani sure that cultivatore do not watch such things at all care- fully as, a rule, and so they may be destroying a great many small roots without knowing it. There is a great misapprehension among farm- ers as to 1,111 real thing accomplish- od by cultivation, so that in many cases there would be very little of it dome if it were het necessary t,0 kill the weeds. Practically all of our connmonoost Weeds are tap rooted and if allowed to get a good start must bo torn out deep down to kill therm. On the other hand, all of our•3rd g on v Cgo- tables and field crops aro very shal- low rooted, with the eXception of root crops so that deep cultivation isiniurious to theta. Tito obvious Way out of this dilemma is to cults, vote very shallow and often, Any wood from seed is killed by merely breaking it in two, if dono before it DREADFUL MISTAKE BARELY AVERTED. THOMAS HARRISON OF ST, DIARY'S, N. B., 1'd:IGHT HAVE BEEN OPERATED ON FOR APPENDICITIS. His Case Was Wrongly Diagnosed -He Roa 'z d h e the Fact in Time -Dodd's Kidney Pills Probably Saved His Life. St. Mary's, N, D., July 22. -(Spe- cial). -Thomas Harrison of this place considers himself .a'fortunate man that he is alive and well to- day. I'or months he Was suffering, as everybody thought, with appendi- citis. That's what 110 was told and that's what he was being treated for. But he grow worse in spite of the efforts exerted to help him, In appendicitis it is generally thought necessary to perforin an op- eration. That Mr. Harrison was not required to undergo the surgeon's knife and that for a disease ho never had, is in all probability nobody's fault but his own, For it was not appendicitis that afflicted Mr. Har- rison. It was Stone in the Bladder, and it was Dodd's Kidney Pills that restored him to the perfect health and strength he enjoys to -clay. "About a year ago," _he writes, "I began to suffer from pain in the back accompanied by a lethargy impos- sible , to overcome. I employed e physician who named my disease ap- pendicitis, but :in spite of his treat- ment reatment I grew worse and began to pass bloody urine. "About this time an anxious friend advised me to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and by the time I had finished the iirst box I passeds 1 a ton un- usual size which is now in the doc- tor's possession, "I began at once to feel butter and you may judge of my gratitude for my escape thus promptly and safely Having taken only three boxes S am happy to state I am absolutely cur- ed with no sign of the return of my old trouble." There is no question about the in- fluence which the sturdy outdoor life hoes upon country boys ; and the fact that the Iife is harnessed to regular, imperative duties is to the boy's advantage. Ho is developed gradually and healthily, his mind following his physical Strength rath- er than the reverse.

Costliest st Monument Ever Erected c d to an Animal Stands on Mt, St. Bernard, The handsomest t somost• monument ever 1 e eeted to the memoryany ani- mal of i - mal leas just been built du Mount St. Bernard to the memory of. a con- vent dog that saved forty lives, Barry was trio dog's name, and ;he held a glorious record: I3'e wandered on the glaciers of the mount for ten years, nod, during that time bo found forty persons lying in the snow un. der the infiueneo of the fatal slum - bet' which precedes death. Some time ago the brave canine found a girl who had lost her way on the glaciers. He roused her from her sleep by licking her face, and then crouched down by her side so that she could get on and ride. Tho girl clambered on the animal's back, and away they wont to the convent. Barry was killed recently by a man hitting him on the head with a large stone. The monument is of marble, and represents the faithful clog car- rying.a child on its back. Carved on the marble is this inscription : "Barry, the heroic, saved the lives; of forty persons and was killed by, the forty-first." In the grounds of a wealthy gen- tleman living in Scotland stands a splendid monument, which was er- ected to the memory of his favorite dog, Jinz. The monument is over six feet high, and is made of bronze and marble. It represents the do in the act of killing a rabbit, whil four smaller dogs, made from ma ble, sit at the corners of the statue The memorial cost the dog -love nearly $500. LORD I3YRON'S FAVORITE DOG At Nowstead Abbey, Nottingham a monument of marble, having six broad steps surrounding it, marls the last resting -place of Boatswain Lord Byron's favorite dog. Byron loved his pet with n passion that was almost a mania, and when he died a clause was found in his wil to the effect that he should be bur- ied beside his clog. SThe poet's friends refused to do this, and they interred hint in the fanily vault. One of the finest animal cemeteries in the world is situated at Victoria Gate, Hyde Park, London, and here are interred some 200 dogs. Each animal has a grave of its own, and lies in a coffin. Mable tombstones mask the last resting -place of the defunct animals, ail prominent among them is the headstone erected bythe Dukof e Cambridge to his "Poor little Prince." Pompey, the pet dog of Miss Florence St, John; - is buried in the Dog's Cemetery.

For a generation surfer - es, from Catarrh, Bronchitis, Astlt- ma, and other diseases of this class I have been vainly striving to effect a -cure of their malady by the use of ointments, washes, powders. Fail- ure could only follow treatments at once disgusting, unscientific an d us e - . less.. A marvellous advance was made in the scientific treatment of these maladies when that marvellous method known as the Catarrhozone treatment was promulgated. At once the medical world's attention was directed towards this mode of treatment, and it would be impossi- ble to mention any medical man of the first rank that would now re- commend any other. The best medi- cal mon recommend this new mode Of treatment, ministers, lawyers, prominent public speakers and the great public with unstinted praise recommend it. So simple, it cures while you breathe it. So prompt its effect seems magical. So effect- ive that its results aro absolutely permanent.
