Itnpicls ( In. ) oomontioii ;
"Ono of the necils of tlio western
clniry is bettor shelter for < lury stock
during the inclement snisons of the
ycnr. 1 co ninny inulonccs of this
Inck , whicli must not only iniposo snf.
foring on stock , but n heavy tnx on
the pockets of the dniryinon. I inn
well \\nro of tlio dillictiltios of a now
country , but t believe it true economy
for a mnn to own no inoro stock than
ho call properly sholtor. If ho liacl
inoro \\ouhl boise na well ns liu-
mnnu to soil a portion nnd use the
proceeds in huyitic shelter for the
remainder. I would mention ns an
other need of tlio western dairy the
earlier cutting of grass for Imy
than I liavo witnessed the past sea
son. Much of it wna so dead ripe nnd
fibrous that I thall consider it next to
n orthlcss for cattle food , No doubt
the feeding of corn may mnko up for
seine of its deficiencies , but an earlier
cutting , when the grnss is jiiiey and
tender , would produce u inoro paint-
able , digestible nnd nutritious food ,
to which , if n supplement of corn is
added , the result would bo much more
satisfaetoiy in nil respects. This
question of dairy stock , of proper
shelter nnd feed , in one of prime im
portance. It may appear to bo n little
subject , but , little na it inn } * bo , it is
one but imperfectly understood by the
mass of dairy ni en , and olio to which
little attention is pnid , though it calls
for the best scientific experience nnd
thought of the country to giro it satis
factory solution. It is beginning to
bo understood by sciontiatH that n
cow which is running down tlesh
while in mill ; is not turning out n
product that \\holesomo for human
tond. Not only the beat results as to
yield , but \\holcsomeno3s of dairy
products depends on keeping the cow
comfortable and tluiving during the
milking period. The future I may
say the destiny of the daily iain the
haiida of tlio fiumois of the north-
uestein states. They hn\o it in their
power to swell the tide of dairy prod
ucts to n greut volume , nnd I trust
they will have the judgment and wis
dom to nmko-tho improvement in
quality to correspond with the in-
ci en.se \olume. .

Heio is the proof of it ; The average -

White maple , onp toot -diameter

or box older , one foot in diameter and
thirty feet high ; yellow willow , eigh
teen inchns in diameter nnd forty feet

To make good sausages , take fifteen
pounds of moat chopped line , four
ounces of fine salt , ono-nnd-a-fourth
ounces of popper , one tcncup of sago ,
three-fourths cup of sweet marjoram
[ > assed through a fine seive. For the

may bo substituted.
The intelligent farmer should aim ,
especially in dry seasons , to prevent
any unnecessary evaporation of moist
ure from his soil , and n study of the
cflects ot mulching will give many a
practical hint in farm economy.
The farmer who would succeed in
stock-keeping or 'stock-feeding must
study the subject nnd not expect suc

Ho must bo systematic nnd vigilant ,

Triumphs of Modern Engineering.
bt I/ouU liiiilllcin. ( ]
The seven wondeis of the world ,
as they have come down toim through
the annuls of time , do not gain upon
our wonder in the light of thoachiu\o-
inents of the present ngo. The physi
cal triumphs of science in this day BO
far excel .such : u > were the marvel of
the time in which the seven wondont
of the ancients tilled the full meaHiirQ
of their imagination as to give us
visions of that perfection which haa
been predicted by Iho poet of the
coining i ace. The achievements of
engineeiing skill , rvided by vast ac
cumulations of capital , aio demon
strated in works whoso imposing
physical features aio oven ovcrahud-
uwed by their honoficionce and utility.
Of bridges , tunnels nnd canals the
present day is prolific of conceptions
and performances of bewildering mag
nitude ,
Thu wonder in the way ot suspen-
niiin bridges in America , of course , is
the Btructuro over East river , connecting -
necting Ncns York and IJiooklyn. It
is il , I7f > feet long between the anchor
ages , with a clear span of 1,5 ! 15 feet ,
tlio bottom choid being 13ft feet
above the water. It was designed by
lloehling , nnd in now nearing comple
tion , at a cost of about 10,000,000.
The roadway , 85 feet wide , is sus
t.tined h/ four talynni/cd ; cast-steel
wire cables , sixteen inches in diuno-
toi , having a strength of JdO.OOO
pouml.s per square inch of section.
The most rcmaikxhlu suspension
bridge in Kuiopo" is thut at Fubouig ,
in Swit/crlnnd , cicctcd in 18U1 , by W.
Chaley. The span is 870 feet , sus
tained by wiio cables , thu roadway
being 174 fact above the surface of the
water. Though fragile in appearance ,
it hns stood nil testa to thia timo.
The new London bridge , the etcc
( ion ofhich has so dwarf ted the old
ono of story , was completed in JS.'U ,
by Heiinie. It hna ; t totnl length of
1)28 ) fcot , M ith fno elliptical nrclios ,
the span of the centre nrch being ] fi2
feet.
feet.One of the nionumenta of thi.s ; io
ol incchnnic.il nnd engineering
triumphs is the grand _ structure spin
ning the Mississippi in front of St.
Loum. The liiatory of this work 13
too familiar to tlio lenders of The lp. !
publican to require rehearsal. Its
distinguished designer , Mr. James U.
Ends , is n citi/on of this city , but his
fnmo ia no longer bounded by the
continent. The granite piers of this
structure , four in number , wuro built
nnd sunk to solid rook nt n depth of
120 feet by processes carried to n per
fection and pushed to nn extent not
before deemed practicable. The two
roadways - one for carriages nnd one
for railways are sustained by arched
stool tubes , liO feet nbovo the water ,
on throe spans , ono of 520 nnd two of
515 feet each. Ita cost with the
tunnel loading to it on the west was
something like Sl'2,000,000.
The gtent St , Gothard tunnel
through the Alps ia ij ) miles in length.
It was began in 1872 , nml wna but re
cently finished. The contract cost
una Sl,8HS ! , ! > t5. Thia the longest
tunnel in the world. Work on it was
prosecuted from each end with con.
atnntly improving methods and accel
erating speed , nnd nt once annihilated
many of the great obstacles separating
nations.
The Mont CeniH tunnel wna inau
gurated Auu'uat ill , 1857 , the king at
Sardinia firing the fh.st mine nt Cns-
cia. The ttoik was prosecuted froiu
both ends by the French nnd Sar
dinians , and AMIS opened to railway
tra\ol September 17 , 1871. Ita length
ia no.irly eight miles and its coat was
nbout ? 15,000,000. These tunnels
through the Alps are the grandest
woika of their character which huniiin
energy has j et achieved.
The lloosac tunnel in Massachu
setts is by fnrXho moat extensive and
expensive voik of the luturo jet
attempted in the United States. The
original conception of it dates more
tlnin fifty j ears ago. It has but le-
eontly been brought to completion.
By mismanagement and delays it h.is
cost near § 18,000,000 , more thin
either of the tunnels through the
Alps , though scarcely inoro than half
their length. The original estimated
cost was only $1M8 ! 557. The tirst
work was done on it in 1855 , nnd the
long delay in its completion accounts
for the enormous cost of the untei-
piiso beyond what its dimensions nnd
the oirly estimates indicated. Tlio
full length of the tunnel is 24,100
feet , a little less than Iho miles.
Of modern cnnala , that through the
Isthmus of Sueis by far the most im
portant , if , indeed , it is not the must
mportant of any in any ago. The
length of the work is about 100 miles ,
connecting the Mediterranean with the
Red sea. The engineer of the work
was M. Ferdinand do Leasopa , a
Frenchman , now engaged in constluct-
ing a cnnal across the Isthmus of
Darion. The Sue/ canal wns projected
in 1858 and officially opened Nov. 17 ,
1800. The width of the canal at the
top in , ' ( 25 feet and at the bottom 72
feet ; its depth nbout 26 feot. Its cost
was more than 300,000,000 francs.
This grand nchiovomont waa forecast
by Napoleon I. , but the supposed na
tural obstacles deferred its accomplish
ment for more than half a century.
Its success has had the greatest influ
ence on the connnorco of the world.
The tunnel now being bored under
the Nortn river at Now York ia ono
of the bold investments of American
capital , and , though it hna been marr-
by n lamuntablo ; accident and
loss of life , its finnl success is perfectly
assured.
But above all , and beyond all of
the grand conceptions of engineering
oniii3 and ventures of capital , is the
tunnel under the English channel.
Like the Sue/ canal , this work WM
first seriously proposed by Napoleon
I. In 1872 the present company was
chartered. The locaton , us finally
adopted , places the tunnel in a line
drawn from St. Margnro's bay , near
the South Foreland , on the English
side , to a point botwocn Sangatte nnd
Calais , in Franco. The length of the
work ia 111 miles , of which 22 will bo
under the channel. Thu plan of con-
stiuction , originally announced , waste
to sink shafts on either shore -150
foot below high water mark ,
drift wayH to bo driven
from the bottom of these for the
drainage of the tunnel proper , which
was to begin 200 feet above the drift
way mid to he pushed from both ends.
The crown of the nrch ia to bo not
less than 200 foot below the water at
any point. The last leports woio that
the conditions had been found favora
ble , and that less than ton years would
Buflico for its completion , and at n
cost of probably not exceeding ? fSO ,
000,000. Estimates of the cost of
woiksso unpiocodeiited must , nccos-
eaiily be meio approximations , to bo
re\iHod ut almost every titep.
Such are aomo of the accomplished
facts and projected enterprises by
which the prcncnt time challenges
compaiifion , or rather contrast , with
past figoH , nnd may ho fairly wiid to
have oveiiihudowed the achievements
which nru in mine , but in tiuth , no
uondorH.
