FY THALK0N BLAKE. ; The extension of telephone lines to rural districts is one of the real blessS IngB modt-rn science and business enterprise hare bestowed upon the ! farmers. Most of these spurs and cross-country lines are made at the expense of the telephone companies; but sometimes, when the number of subscribers does not warrant it, the prospective customers must furnish or erect their own poles. Even if these are done by the companies, many boys may desire to unite their neighbors' houses with theirs by pri| vate telephone or telegraph lines. Telegraphy is a fascinating study to boys. To those who contemplate the erection of a private telephone or telegraph line it may be informing for them to examine these designs i of two ways of bracing poles.

HomoMad'i,Spring Winder. BY ,T. O. BROCILLET. Not long ago the writer was called upon to replace a broken spring in a machine. It had to be done at a moment's notice, as the work could not be held up. The supply of springs -Ah .fas exhausted. The writer was given a piece of No. 60 wire, but no one had such a thing as a winder, so he tvas obliged to make one, and had a Spring within a half hour. In a junk pile was found a piece of ?.oft steel, 4x1 inch wide, with ft %-inch hole in one end. A J.?-inch i?g screw was placed in a brace, a pinhole was drilled in the gimlet end the screw, tfcen putting the screw pose whatsoever about the farm. 5 UUUb'waCX How to Brace a Telephone Pole. It Is to be remarked, first of all, that poles get out of plumb and alignment because of wind'pressure and wire strain. Eliminate these two S stresses upon any pole, and unless it be located at .the edge of quicksand, or abuts a living spring of water, it will very likely remain erect until it decays. Fig. 1 shows a form of bracing that is excellent to aid a pole to withstand the rocking effect of the wind. Most winds are unsteady in effort, and this accounts tor so many . poles leaning, for the pressure of the wind comes and goes suddenly, each gust being followed by periods of lull, so that a pole rocks, swinging out with the gust, and back with the following lull. The design is self; explanatory, and is intended for a full-sized pole, set seven feet in the ground. But poles to carry two to four wires need not be so large, either in diameter or in height, nor be set bo deeply in the ground. The perpendicular braces, coupled at the top by horizontal timbers, are efficient to withstand the rocking effect of the pole. The oblique braces are also valuable assistants. Strange as it may appear, when oblique braces are used alone, they tend to lift a pole out of the earth as it rocks back and forth. The horizontal braces do 1. i iv: ^ i Shticst piece of ordnance in the world, ) the Panama Canal.?From Harper's poles, when braced by oblique braces only, bave gradually become loosened and lifted by swinging. This system of bracing poles, therefore, is to be recommended for children's swings. The design shows .the parts well proportioned, and they may be proportionally reduced in dimensions in j working them out. Fig. 2 shows how cement may be ! substituted for wooden braces at a | bend of the line where the wind and wire strains are not too severe. The hole in .the ground is dug obliquely, the pile is set upright, and the triangular spaces on both sides are filled with cement. Odd-shaped poles, should it be necessary, may be used anywhere when properly braced. One good way of bracing such a pole is portrayed in Fig. 3. A toe of cement may be extended into the ground to t give the cement a "grip." If it is sun " required to have a stronger support, a wooden brace may be affixed ao shown, its bottom resting on a large flat stone, with or without a cement binding. By either of these methods, a private line of telephone or telegraph wires can be maintained against the blasts of Boreas himself, whether the old mythological god blows hot 01 cold, hard or easy.?Scientific American. Pretty Women at Ho;ne. William F. Doty, the American Consul in Tabriz, told, in a recent letter, a story about a Persian prince A party of English tourists wer? traveling in Persia and in Tabria they invited this prince to dinner. He came, splendidly attired in gold and white. 1 But he was taciturn; He seemed disappointed. When the dessert was served he sneered and said: "I am pleased to see that the Englishmen are now taking a leaf out of the Persian's book." "How so, Prince Kamil?" said the' host's wife, a very tall, lean woman with unusually long teeth. "They leave all their pretty women at home," said the prince, frankly. Knot For Tying Up a Launch.

A Young Woman's Mistake I Tiy .MRS. ISOIll-JL STRONG. Some years ago a young American woman went to Yokohama as a bride. Ker husband was professor of English in the Japanese University, arid j as he was very popui?;r, all the mem- U bers of the foreign community called s: upon the bride. J st There were the high and mighty tl ambassador extraordinary from Eng- it land, who came in his coach and fourj gi with outriders and footmen in livery. II There was the American consul-gen- b< era!, who walked over, on a pleasant, Vi evening, with his wife on his arm. ' There, too, were French and Germai) omcials in full uniform, their wivee j and their clerks, and, in fact, all the ; a. varied society of their little world. ! a Among the others was Captain 1 tl Eranscombe. a tall and thin English- j man. with a strange scar on his cheek , ti and a queer, piping voice and silly laugh. The little bride could hardly hi listen to him without laughing at his hi queer manner and his absurd voice, j C( One evening, when a' party of her ; friends was present, she went to the ti door and returned, imitating the Eng- ! lish captain, mimicking his trembling ; step, his high, squeaky voice and ner- i, vous laugh. I al It was an inimitable burlesque, but | te to the young woman's surprise, the ' ] girlish sally was received first with ai stony silence, then with an indignant1 g( outburst. J p] "Stop! stop!" her friends cried, in ! jB horror. "Don't you know? Haven't hi you heard? Captain Branscombe is Sc a hero!" And then they told his | n( story. i He was a captain -in the British i army when the English were having , trouble with China. He was caught J by the Chinese, who tried in every I p, way to make him divulge military J secrets. They starved him, beat him,; w and finally suspended him in an open ' cs cage at the gates of the city.' It was 1 tc hot in the blinding sun.' He suffered j m horribly from thirst and flies, hunger p< and his cramped position. I p( Children stoned him, people poked 1 n< him with sharp sticks, as if he we're ^ a wild beast.' When the Chinese au- j Sl thorities threatened him further, he J ^ laughed. He was kept in that horrible cage many days until rescued \ ^ by the British, ill, broken in mma ; and body, but loyal to his trust. The English government gave him ; a high official position in Japan, and Jr a princely salary in reward for his i devotion. After that .terrible experi- J ence his black hair had whitened, his , voice changed to a piping treble, and J the brave laugh that had defied his ^ tormentors became this ridiculousseeming falsetto, an almost incessant affection of the nerveg. j When tiie ydung' American woman ; J met him again, in his uniform and ^ gold Jace, at the embassy ball, she ^ listened to his voice with respect; and when the captain offered her his ; arm for a stroll on the terrace, she i bowed low and accepted it as a great honor.?The Youth's Companion. ! ? i British Warships in the Delaware, i rj Captains, vessel owners and river- j men in general, who have placed faith in the story that*a vessel was sunk in , ^ the Delaware during the Revolution- ' ^ ary War in the battle between the pa- | Qj triots and the forces of General Howe ' aj at Fort Mifflin, express regret that ( Secretary Nagel, of the Department j of Commerce and Labor, did not j ^ choose Fort Miffin as the site of the. _ proposed ' immigrant station. The j story is that the vessel Sunk was one | p] of those that joined in the assault on < Fort Mifflin and that it contained ' ^ specie for the payment of soldiers in e( the British army. Tj Had Fort Mifflin 'been selected as jj, the site rivermen say that the channel j c, of the stream and the shore would j have been dredged by the Govern-' j,, ment, so that the question as to' c< whether or not the war vessel was i a; lying at the bottom of the Delaware i would have been settled forever. i jg i i E First Use of Jron. j a] As a result of his interesting mves- i g (igations, Dr. Ridgeway concludes j r< that the smelting of iron originated j t< in Central Europe, and especially in ' al the region known as Noricum, equiv- j tc alent to modern Austria and Bavaria, i is In Egypt it can be traced back tc the ninth century B. C., and in Libya to about 450 B. C. First mention ot its use in China goes back to 4 00 B. j C., while in Uganda it is said to have ! oi ueen in use oniy some live or six iuu- j turies. 1 ^ The above date for the first use ol j P< iron in Egypt refers to the metal ob- P' tained by smelting. The use of native j iron in the form of meteorites dates j f< back to remote antiquity. The weap- j 1 ons made from these were obtained, h like flint implements, by chipping, j And it is interesting to remember that j 0 recent investigations have shown that the iron of many meteorites is a sort P of natural steel.?London Globe. n IT No Doubt of His Party. c< A matron 01 tne most determined j character was encountered by a young j . woman reporter on a country paper, j 3 who was sent out to interview leading j ei citizens as to their politics..

Colts, like all other young animals annot be fed by any hard-fast, set e ules. To successfully feed colts rc uira* good judgment, patience an lose observation. Colts at weaning ;i:ne require iifc ral feeding at frequeni interval* ats are the most desirable grai: t: them; in addition to this crackei ai n may be used. A fair allowanc f oats and bran i equal paris) to colt five months old would be Iw ) four poundt. It would nav to m -- - _____ I the amount of bran and add cracked J u corn ti> the ration. A ration of four | _ parts oats, one part bran and one part | corn should prove satisfactory. s While the grain ration is important r_ in feeding colts, attention should also h be given to the roughage. This may 3 consist of mixed hay, bright clover 0 free from dust and mold, oat straw _ and corn stover. Sheaf oats, either cut or whole, are very desirable for colts. The roughage should be fed liberally, but the colts should not be allowed to eat all they will eat, as ~ such will work injury on the digestive ^ I system. Although the feed and water [ J are all important in growing colts, it must be remembered that these youngsters need abundant exercise in the open field where sunlight is plen.. tiful. Feed as near ag you can a balanced ration consisting of a variety of feeds, using oats, bran, a little corn r in the winter and roots, if you have o them. I prefer clover hay, if cut early and clean, with some timothy and corn fodder, and always a place where s they can get exercise. If fed all they can clean up and digest well they will e always be rer.dy for the market. ' If not sold when three years old e they should be broken to drive, and j~ put the draft colts at light farm work and they will pay for the keeping for n the next year. Then they should, be * fed for the market, and that means they should have about 200 pounds " more flesh than they usually have in" At- ?

When they are put up for feeding give them light d rations on the start, and gradually inl" crease the ration until they get all they will eat and. properly digest.? 0 J. P. Fletcher, in the American Culti f oultry as Food. On the farm it is not always the case than the proper talue is attached to poultry and poultry products which y are consumed as food; but this will r be found well worthy of consideration/ \ 11 Nearly every farmer raises, or ene deavors to raise, his own beef and pork, and many market a neat sur3 plus over the home needs. Roasts or d cuts of either beef or pork are seldom b missing frofn the thrifty -farmer's b table, at the noonday meal especially, g e with the preference usually in favor I k 'of pork. ' * it is just as easy?and cheaper? for the farmer to have roast duck on n his table as roast pork. The duck ' will not cost as much in proportion d to the food consumed as the pork, j e while four pounds of the former can be put on the table eight weeks from I ^ the time the bird Is hatched. e For instance, say that 100 ducks ' ^ e are raised on a farm during the year. ! a e Practically, this means that roast .1 duck may be had twice a week all the i U year round, and the hatching can be ! y regulated so that the birds will al- ^ d ways be tender and palatable, and L i, *there will be no necessity- for smok- j I ing, packing or pickling the meat in e order to retain its value as food. The i-1 same kind of food, usually, that the t hog' eats can be consumed by the y duck, and the latter requires but , 1 s little more attention than the former, j d When marketing time comes the i- farmer can dispose of the fowls that j promise the most profit from the d dealers, and keep the others for food ( f. at home. d The duck is mentioned in this ar- | n gument simply as an illustration of ' it the food value of poultry, even if none e is raised for the^raarket. To be sure, n roast duck, twice every week of the h year might, in time, prove monot- , n onous, but other poultry may be substituted and the force of the com- j >t parison still remains. 5 The foregoing takes no account oi ' it the eggs produced on the farm, which ^ die IUUCCUCU LVi IL1 dispensable. They are used in the preparation of many dishes, and occupy positions of such prominence in \ d ' nearly every meal that the farmer's [ wife would indeed be handicappwl i, without their aid. 11 But on many farms the fowls ur? e classed as interlopers, their scanty rations being grudgingly furnished, ^ s while the herd of swine dines to ree pletion on the best the farm affords. { o that great weight may be attained % s before slaughtering time, d In estimating the profit from the n home flock of fowls the farmer seldom p e gives the poultry and eggs consumed y t- by the family a value equal to thai o it which would be reckoned if such ^ things had to be purchased.?Farm- ? ors' Union Guide. ^ d T l" i The Aeroscope. e\ Among the scientific toys at the , Pnriu Tf!vr.nRitinn Wns .in instriimpnf cl named the "aerViscope."
