cuursa horse hair.
For the curled hair used for mat/'tresses
the following process is used:
The hair is first washed iu hot water
r and softened, and it iH then spun into
ropes while wet and warm and kept so
until it gets the required sot and curl.
It is prepared for use by picking it
apart. The ropes are hard twisted, so
that when they are taken apart the hair
curls up and becomes quite elastic. It
will hardly pay to curl ono'a own hair,
as it may be purchased more cheaply
f than it can be gathered by any person
not in the business. Most ot the
"horse" hair in the market is the pro
duct of horned cattle, the switch of the
tail being used for this purpose.?New

We therefore give it as a change and

the best staple, according to our experience.

Broken rice, well boiled, is good to a

Malt dust is n valuable resource.
The demand is becoming so great that
? probably it will soon cease to be a
cheap food; but while it remains so it
is a real boon both tothe fow lsand their
owners. They will eat almost anything
that is sprinkled with malt dust,
fcnd a six shillings sack of it goes a

wmcn IS THE BEST cow?
I Every once in a while some dairyIf
man remarks that he does not need ?
tell him which are the best
* ftelry eotfs; ftCTfin tell by looking at
them. He just sells the fat ones and
keeps tlio thin ones. Quite oft 'n this
is the standard by which cows are
judged: the thinner they are when giving
milk the better dairy cows they are
oonsidwred. There is, of course, some
. reason in this. Wo know that a cow
.. that uses her food to put flesh on her
back, instead of putting milk and fat
into the pail, is not the most profitI
able cow for the dairy. J'ut to jump
rt^io the conclusion that because a cow
j^^^s poor in flesh she must of necessity
l>o a good dairy cow is drawing a con*
K elusion that is not justified by facts.
K There arc some beef cows that will
oat a good ration every day and keep
^B in just fairly good condition, while
Rl there are others in tin- same herd that
on the same feed keep their ribs
^E and baoka nicely covered with flesh.
H The latter arc good feeders and the
[H former poor feeders. The latter have
tin- natual ability to innko better nee
oi their feed than the former; thoy
Hff have feeding quality.

cH TlIF. BEST BRANS.
O. K. Hnnn, of Geneva, N. V., writ^^flfng
in Garden and Forest, says:
"Few vegetables have been hybrid*
^^Ry.od or selected with greater rare than
tho bean, and varieties suitable for
several purposes have been developed,
until little improvement now sceme
possible. Among snapbeans, tho new
yellow-podded wax varieties, which
are almost cylindrical in shape, solid
yet tonder, and of the finest fibro and
flavor, are quite superior to the oldtime
flat, green-podded and stringy
varieties. Among tJe best varieties
are Wardwell's Kidney Wax, Yosemite
Mammoth Wax, Qolden Wax and Perfection.
Of shell beans, the best nro
Dwarf Horticultural; Golden Cluster,
which is very productive and bearsflat
beans about two-thirds as large as
Henderson's Bush Mieva, meaty ami
well flavored; Hemisphere, a bean almost
round, but solid and of extra
quality, half of it beinsr 1 ivrht brown in
color, splashed with red. Thin color
would detract from its value as a market
variety, but iu the processof cooking
the color to a great extent disappears,
so that it is one of the very best
for the kitchen garden. On the station
grounds, as the main experiment
crop for the past four years, a pur a
white beau has been grown which has
proved of extra quality and productiveness.
It is very hardy and isproot
thus far against the anthrecnoso, ro
prevalent throughout this section. It
has been called the Hatt bean, after its
originator, but I ain not aware that it
has been offered for sale under any
name, although it should bo more
generally known.
"The search and selection necessary
fur a true Dwarf Lima bean has been
successful, and it would now seem
hardly necessary to grow the pole Lima
bean. The latter come to maturity a
trifle earlier thau the busli type when
both are planted together, it is tl'ue,
but the dwarf varieties may be started
earlier, either iu common beds or in
inverted sods, or in pots in the kitchen
or greenhouse. When planted out
they can be protected from early or
late frosts with ease so that the season
of bearing can be lengthened out by
the same method. Cheap cloth protection
or wide boards can bo used
against frost. Two distinct typos of
those beans arc now offered by seedsmen,
Burpee's Bush Lima, with large
Hat pods, well tilled with beans, and
resembling the old garden Lima, and
or Ivuuierly's Dwarf Lima,
^witli shorter pods and beans resembling
iu shape Dreer's Improved Lima.
Either of these can bo grown in tlio
kitchen trarden. and for market thev
will certainly crowd out tho climbing
varieties, since many more can ba
planted 011 tho same area and no ex?
punse is necessary i'or poles."
FARM AND CIAHDEN NOTES.
For chapj)ed or scratched teats apply
cream or frcsli butter.
Live the colt some nice, bright oats,
where it can got at them handy.
The colt should have a good yard,
lot or pasture to feed and exercise in.
It is not necessarily true that "skim
milk calves make pot-bellied ear
suckers."
If you raise sheep for wool, breed
merinos; if for mutton, breed tho
heavy type.
Market only the best of your produce
and put it up in the most attractive
manner.
Pet the colt, so it will learn to know
that you do not mean to hurt it. Do
not scare nor tease it.
Do not skim-milk your calves too
loon. Let them have some new milk
for at least two weeks.
A cow abused will not do her best.
To make you money each cow should
be allowed to do her best.
A nervous cow will "give down"
milk better if in a quiet place securely
fastened and milked very gently.
Early shearing is very desirable. It
relieves the sheep of ticks and enables
the owner to take precautions against
seal).
Halter break the colt while young,
bo that it will stand quietly tied. If
you have been kind to it, it will soon
learn to lead.
It requires grain to make pork or
beef, but mutton of the finest quality
can be made of nibbles here and there
of such stuffs as would otherwise be a
waste.
, Pack your fruit honestly if you want
to succeed. When you think you liavo
secured a good customer don't palm
tiff an inferior article on him. it you
do you are sure to lose him.
In buying or exchanging sheep give
a thorough examination for scabs,
ticks, lice and foot rot before turning
them into the llock, or you may bo
getting more than you knew of.
liiiisoncr Culture.
Ginseng will grow well in anj' moist,
fertile soil in woods where it is shaded,
if the shade is not dense. A littl?
sunshine won't hurt it. It must have
plenty of light and air.
Iii preparing the ground for planting
roots and seed, grid* up all the undergrowth,
leaving enough of the
saplings and large timber to make
sutlieient shade. Then rake oil' all the
weeds and dry leaves; dig up all the
roots of other plants, if any ; clean,
mark off a space of ground three feet
wide any length convenient; dig tin
the ground loose three or four inches
deep; cover the bed with humus,
vegetable mold, about four inches deep.
Leave an alley between beds one foot
wide. Make the rows aeross the bed
four inches apart. Prop the berries
two inches apart in the row and cover
about half an iuoh deep.
The berries must bo planted in the
fall when ripe and while fresh, and will
not come up for eighteen months.
There is no plant moro beautiful for
a tlower pot than a ginseng plant, with
its red pod of berries 011 top. 'flu
plants should lie cultivated three years
from tho timo they come to be ol
marketable size. Plant roots same as
seed, only plant from one to two in'-hef
deep and farther apart, according to
size.
(linsong roots for market should bo
dug in the fall after the sap has returned
to tho root; wash, clean and
let dry in the shade. Large cultivated
dried ginseng roots are worth from 34
to 34.50 per pound in New York City,
Ginseng will also grow well in open
ground, pots or boxes in light houses,
etc., if planted in wild dirt and humus
from tho woods and shaded, treated as
any other liouso plant. It can bo
grown in sections whero they have 110

(T 000,000 in South African diamond
mines, has purchased a 1500- A
acre tract in tho To me seal district,near icl
San Francisco, where ho will erect a m
novel residence, a palace, in fact, upon e:
which $1,500,000 will be expended je
aside from the finishing. , This is to be y<
a structure built almobt entirely of tl
steel and glass. The building, ho- ni
cording to the American Contractor, st
is to bo about 230 feet long by about p
100 feet wide. At one end it will be ti
surmounted by a tower 115 feet high,
at the other end by a similar tower, o:
but of less size and height. A strik- w
ing featuro will be the sides below tho o
cornice, which slope to tho ground, l!
with a curve at an angle of forty-five ci
degrees. In the sloping sides are set ft
oval windows twelvo feet long and d
made to conform to tho lines of the g
Bides of the walls. The roof will be a o
huge gable extending the entiro length ti
of tho building and terminating in T
another gable at right angles in wh' h u
are placed imaienso stained glass win- C
dows, one of which will bo fifty feet si
long aud thirty feet wide. s
Not a foot of lumber or wood in any t
shape is to be used in tho building, t
The material will be iron, steel, alumi- u
nutu, brass, bronze, platinum, silver, e
concrete, cement and stone. And tho g
only stono used will bo sculptured I
marblo in the stairways and tho main b
frieze, and onyx and decorative marbles b
in tho bathrooms, the stairs and a few y
other places. Even the foundations t
will be of steel and concrete. The floors 1
will bo of concrete, brass and aluini- i'
mini, the walls of steel and the roof of 1
steel, brass and copper. Tho inside 1:
walls will be some of oxidized sheet t
iron, some brass covered with a prep- b
nrntion that protects tho burnish of r
metal, some copper, some nickel and
so on to correspond with the decora- a
tions of the room. The ceilings will t
be arched and relieved hero and thcro C
with great brass medallions. The par- t
tition walls will bo composed of metal r
grilles extending from floor to ceiling, j
arranged in various designs, forming a (
vast net work through which the visitor s
can sco from the grand stairway at ono I
end to the great ball-room at the op- t
posite end. llicli tapestries will or- c
dinnrily cover the metal grilles and di- t
vide ^he interior thus into fourteen s
apartments, eight of which will be t
chambers and consist each of a suite of (
four rooms?a sleeping-room, dressing- 1
room, bath-room and study. All lie t
heating, lighting, ventilation and cooking
will be done by electricity. Tlio
servants' quarters, the kitchen, the
machinery and the laundry will nil be
in the basement. The water wheel and
dynamos will be located at the foot of
the hill, a considerable distanco from
the building. The sole entrance to
the basement from without will be at
the foot of the hill through a tunne',
so that no one from within or about
the house will see the approach or entrance
of servant, grocer, butcher or
delivery wagon of any kind.
The structure itself will he surrounded
by a broad walk, and outsi !o
of the walk will be an artificial lake
surrounding the building and forming
a moat to be crossed over a movable
drawbridge, thus placing the houso
practically upon an island. This lake
will bo led by water from artesian
wells already in operation and pumped
up by powerful pumps. The water of
the lake will also servo to run tlio
dynamos that furnish light, heat and
power for uso in the building. The
(lours of the building will he of brass
and aluminum grille work of ornamental
design, the interstices filled
with a new Hungarian cement which is
said to become hard as granite when
set and to admit of a high and durable
polish. The cement will be of various
colors and so laid with the metal grille
ns to surpass in cft'ect any monaui 1
llooriug in existence. The vinter 1
I
j palace nt St. Petersburg is now having
j a floor laid of this material and on I
similar lines. Everything about tho 1
building is to be fireproof except per- 1
haps a part of the furniture. Even tho ]
draperies and tapestries will bo dipped !
in a solution of glycerino and ammo- i
nium borate, which renders them
permanently uninflammable.
A Salt bake in Mexico.
The Laguna de Jaco is a salt lake in
Mexico, for the development of which
a British company is now constructing
a railroad, says the Two Republics.
The waters of the lake aro intensely ,
salt, carrying from twenty-two to thirty j
per cent, of that material in a state of ,
purity ranging from ninety-eight per ,
cent, to chemically pure chloride of <
i sodium. Tho douth of water of the ,
lake ranges from three to thirty feet,
and bears on top a tough crust from .
three to ten feet iu thickness, composed
of silt, salt, sodn, tho various alkalies |
ami other impurities?the surface ot ]
this crust being, in wet weather, a i
mushy mass, and in tho long dry seasons
carrying a few inches of dry,
white, spongy material, resembling
snow. Along the eastern shore of the ,
lake (the prevailing winds being from
the high Fraile mountains in close
proximity on the west) are mauy long
ridges and mounds of almost pure salt,
resembling ridges and dunes of white
sand, while the Jake itself can readily
be made to yield 500 tons per day of
salt as pure as tho very best made from
sea water. The bottom of the lake is
of linoly comminuted mud, beneath
I which is a great bed of roek salt, the
| thickness of which is yet unknown.
I
Electrical Development,
it is evidont that the field for electrical
progress and development is very
great. Doctor E. Hopkinson has 1
Rhown before the Itoyal Institution of
Great Britain that in incandescent
lamps only about one-half of one per
cent, of tho energy exponded in tho
burning of coal is utilized and in tho 1
transportation of a passenger by the 1

It is 1687 feet, or nearly one-third
f a mile, in length, by 787 feet in
idth; the ground floor has an area of
ver thirty acres; the central hall is (
280 feet by 380 feet, and this space is

2ot high in the middle and wholly inependent
of central support. The

Jolosseum, which if^ated 80,000 perohs,
would occttpy but one-sixth of its

of chocolate. Under tho dome sits a
finely executed figure of Germania after
the famous bronze statue at tho Nielerwald,
on tho Khine.
Near one entrance indho Transportation
Building is the model, to all appearance
real, of the largest steam hammer
in tlio world. It represents tlio
Dno used by the Bethlehem Steel Company
of Penney vania. The falling part
of tho hammer alone weighs 1*25 tons
and has a drop of 10 J feet. With this
tiammer tho largest armor plates are
mado, exceeding in size, probably, any
manufactured by rolling.
rurtner on in tne liamwin JLocomotive

of railway engines. This is a Kiud
known as a decapod, and is several
jizes abovo the big engines called moapils.
It has live connecting drivingwheels
on either sido and weighs 100
tons. After the Fair it will be used on
the Erie Road.
In the Mining Building may be seen
tho largest nugget of gold in existence,
tho Maitlund Bar nugget, which weighs
144.78 ounces, contains 313 ounces of
fine gold, and has a value of SOOOO.
Several larger nuggets have been found
and are shown by model, but this is
the real metal. In the samo building
is the largest piece of coal ever takes
out. The block weighs twelve tons
and lias been shipped here from Wigan,
England, where it was mined.
In the Machinery Hall is tho enormouR
Westinghouse electric lighting
plant. This is tho largest installation
in the world, and consists of twelve
dynamos, each supplying electricity
for 10,000 lights of 16?candlo power,
>r for 15,000 whon forced to the utmost
capacity. The Westinghouse
Company has also the largest and most
perfect switch-board ever used. This
is made up of 26 dynamo panels and
10 feeder panels.

One can scarcely imagine what giant
machinery such a bolt is to turn, yet it
has its use, as with few exceptions
theso great things tiro made undei

They represent tho growing needf
and powers of the times.
In the Shoo and Leather Building
the objects most noticeable for size art
three hides. One, that of a bullock,
contains 250 square feet of leather. It
is split into fotir layers, but left joined
(ft the neck, and while to intact each
layer has been beautifully dressed in e
different color. The whole may be
fairly considered the highest point yet
attained in tanning and dressing.
Another is that of a walrus, and
weighs, tannod, 300 pounds. On account
of it4 great thickness of one and
a half inches tho tauning required
threo years. The third and largest
hide ever tanned is that of an enormous
elephant. This weighs 500
pounds, is 20 feet from trunk to tail,
and 17 feet at itsgreatest width. TheRe
extremely thick hides are used by such
companies as the Meriden Britannia in
polishing plate. In the same building
is the largest piece of bark ever sealed,
a piece of hemlock bark 12 feet I
inches by 0 feet 4 inches
Jn the Forestry Building is a maA
i
hogony log from Mexico 42 inches
square and 41 feet in length, whioh,
considering both length and thickness,
is very remarkable. If the wood were
figured instead of having a straight
grain the one log would have a value
of over *30,00".
The largest plank in existence is
that of a finely finished piece of California
redwood sixteen feet five inohes
wide, twelve feet nine inohes long, and
five inohes thick. It is very doubtful
if a tree will be found to yield suoh another.
A cross-section of a California
redwoad tree exhibited, fourteen feet
in diameter, shows from its rings that
it was already six feet six inches In
thickness when Columbus discovered
America.
In the Krupp exhibit, which has a
building to itself, is the much-talkedof
greatest gun of the age, a 120-ton
rifled gun, sixteen-inch calibre and
forty-Bix feet in length. Tho gnn is
for land fortification and is reputed to
be destined ultimately for Italy. It is
Baid to be ablo to throw a projectile
weighing ono ton a distance of twenty
