'' One of the Interesting problems on which they are engaged is the depth and geoligical liiniu of the permanent ly frozen soil. The British association has collected a Urge amount of .data on this question." 'A vC It bus already told u some carious things, suob. as tbe fact ; that excellent wheat lands north of Manitoba Qverllo frozen eartb that never thaws, :: 4 Some geologists flud strata of rock that they are able to show must have been buried at a remote age-10,003 feet under tbe' surface. These ttpturusd edges of rock, which some torrible con vulsion lifted to the air, gives us a glimpse of the condition of tbe interior some way below tbe greatest depth to which we can altain. : ; The workmen in Ihe deepest mines In Europe swelter id almost intolerable beat, and yet they have never pene trated over one seven-thousandth patt of the distance from tbe surface to tbe canter of tbe eartb. Ia the lo wer levels ofsome of the Com- stock mines the men fought scalding water, ana coma labor oniy tiree or four.hours at atimn, until the Sulro tunutl pierTed the mines and drew off some of tbe tcariuie beat, which bad been 120 degrees., . ,-. Tbe deepest boring f vcp made tbat at Bperenburg, near Berlin penetrates only 1,472 feet, about 1,000 f- et deeper than the famous artesian well at St. Lonis, '' Tbe reu!t ot this Imperfect know ledge is (bat there are more -theories snl disputes among scientific: men witb regard to tbe interior of tbe eartb than any other. problem of physical science. Some eminent physicists, for instance, like Sir William Thompson, have believed that the crust of tbe earth is at loost 103 miles thick.

" 1 Tkt Ideal Dalry.Cow.' Farm, Stock and Home bits, tbe nail on the bead when it says ttat "the Ideal dairy cow must he both, born and made.", The truth, thus concisely stated bas been too often overlooked. There have been plenty of men wbo thought that Iht grxxl cow must be born, and plenty of others who believ ed that she could be made, but the number who believed that these things must go together bas been altogether too small. So we have had men rely ing upon blood and allowing the floe pedigree Io take the plaos of high feed ing, while another class bas scorned tbe pedigree and placed the sole reli ance upon feed and care. Both bare been wrong. To begJa'-wIih, it is necessary Io bave a oow with a capac ity for milk production , Without this, feed and oare will be largely wasted. But this alone will e of no avail. Food and care must be supplied or there can be no possible return. Tbe cow tbat is born for a good milker is well started, but her capacities mutt be developed or they will never be come available. Te cow tbat bas no natural capacity as a milker can tvever be made good for the dairy, and tbe sootfer sbe is converted into, beef the belter. Amcrlcao Dairyman.'

Better try sheep two or four years old, as yearlings are not good, feeders. I prefer graded sbeeu rather than very coarse or very fine', as the coarse are more subject to ticks and scab and the fine to foot-rot. I often buy mixed lots that average 80 to 86 pounds. I get tbem at 8 J to 8 cents per pound, and they , are quite sure to sell Io the spring tor 5 to , 6 cents.' Fifteen pounds apiece Is a very good gain on such a class of sheep and 18 to 20 pounds for lambs ; I havp, had them togaia 22 pounds per head in 12 weeks.. The profit lies in getting them In fine condition as soon as possible, and tben sell or shlo them oa the first good market. J. O. Perryy Ueneseee County, N. Y. Steaming Peed j I Tlie pTfictfce of steaming feed for cattle bas fallen Into disuse because of its apparent profidessqess, and more because tbe use of eosllage bas com pletely displaced It. It is not, there fore, a subject for discussion now, ex cept, perhaps, for the feed og of swine, for wbicb purpose It Is. thought by some feeders to te of nfSclent profit to make It desirable. No doubt that pork is made morefbevply from cook ed food than from tbe raw materia,), and especially when potatoes or other roots are to be fed. In this case tbe boiling of tbo roots and mixing tbe meal witb (be Hqold to make a thick feed bas been proved quite profitable. Or tbe roots and corn esrs may be boiled.
