F - Granulation improves the app< ? ance of any quality of honey and ne f fails to give it a lighter shade. also has a tendency to drive from any wild taste and make it a pu sweet. In this condition it is in best possible shape for keeping 1 length of time. Being free of wax, aud taken fr the comb just as the bees placec there, without any melting of 1 combs or mixing of any kind, by 1 latest improved machinery, it is, wi out doubt, the purest of all sweets. It is easily returned to its origir form by simply heating it, and sealed up air-tight while hot, it w remain in liquid form for a long tim Farm, Field and Fireside. ; ? I The Care or Purebred Cattle. I feed my thoroughbred shorthoi cattle the grain and forage that I pr duce on the farm. I grind my coi in the ear and mix it with oats. >] young animals are given this sort < food for grain rations as soon as the will learn to eat. I feed twice a da in summer and winter, just the amour that will be consumed nicely. All ar stabled at night throughout the wii ter season. They are turned out i the yards during the day wheneve the weather will admit. Bad, storm days they are out only long enough t drink and have the barn cleaned. M; yards are protected by a willow grove and there are only a few days too ba< for the cattle to be out. I have tanki in each yard, that they may drink a will. For roughness, I give in the morn ing, as soon as they are turned out, ? light feed of corn fodder unhusked. ] have silo that holds about 250 tons ol ensilage. At noon we draw a load of ensilage and feed it in troughs made something dfter the style of a feed box such as is used to fatten steers. I feed this about the* middle of the day during cold weather, a3 it is the warmest time and the feed freezes the least. Then at night everything goes into the barn and tias timothy and clover hay in the mangers. I feed no grain to the older cattle in the barn excepting an old cow or one that is suckled down ^ thiu. I sometimes have them feed a little meal in the barn. The shocked corn in connection with the ensilage and hay will keep the cattle in fine condition. IK My barns are so arranged that after the cattle are turned out we can go through with a horse and a little sled made for the purpose, aud clean out all litter. I think this is perhaps about as cheap and convenient a way as a barn can be cleaned. Visitors have remarked to me that it must cost a great deal to take care of these cat- 1 tie. I would say in answer that one 1 man rases care of 100 cattle, cleans the bam, gets out the ensilage and ? does everything excepting haul the corn fodder and grind the corn. My x cattle are always in tine condition. H. ^ D. Parsons, in Orange Judd Farmer. An Extemporized Eiwdla^e Wagon.

Powerful Penetration of Soft Substance* .Many i> -ople find it bard to under* stand how a soft substance e:ui be projeetcd uninjured through a material nuieb harder than itself, and the fa miliar trick of tiring a tallow caudle out of a gun through a door still remains a puzzle to not a few of thosa who have often performed it. A curious illustration of tli? power of light matter to perforate denser substances when driven at a high velocity has occurred at the Woolwich arsenal. In the course of experiments 011 tiring gas in mines a sp cial gun is employed to do duty for a bore hole with a charge of high explosive, and pressed cylinders of raw dry clay, three inches long and one and seven-eights inches in diameter, are used to represent the tamping. These shots are made to act in various mixtures of air. coaldust, gas. etc.. and to stop the course of plug. etc.. eventually a cast-iron target plate one inch thick was placed twenty-five f et in front at an angle of forty-five degrees, in order to break up everything into dust and throw it upward. After three or four shots the clay plug, weighing seven and a half ounces, perforated the inch iron plate, and the hole thus made has since been steadily extended. The velocity, of course, must he tremendous?it is estimated at something over 1,800 feet in a second.?Chicago ltecord. Canadian Mining Un the increase.

The geological survey places the total value of the mineral output for 1897 above $28,000,000. or an Increase of $6,000,000 over the previous year. The output is divided as follows among the principal mining provinces: British Columbia. $10,455,26S: Neva Scotia. $6,000,000; Ontario. $5,000,000: Quebec, $2,063,266; Northwest Territories and Yukon $3,000,000.
