For Tnrnlnar the Orlndatone. A contrlvancefor turning a grind tune, by moans of which one can turn and grind at the game time with com parative ease, has been, devised by a correspondent of the Itural New York er. To construct the device, take the small sprocket wheels and chain from a old worn binder or other farm ma chinery, and gear It two to one; that la, the lower or crank shaft wheel must have twice us many cogs as the one on the stone shaft Use a stone twenty or more Inches In diameter, and be sure to get a good one. An Amherst Is better than a Berea, for all purposes. If geared higher than two to one, it will turn bard, and If much lower It will not turn fast enough. It Is the fast mo- GRINDSTONE DEVICE. tion that cuts. One may Und an excel lent pair of cranks from some old bi cycle. Syatem on tba Farm. On many farms the most apparent causes of failure are a want of system, wastefulness, and misdirected . labor. It doubtless Is far more difficult for the farmer to reduce his business to a definite system than It Is for the aver age merchant, lut that Is no reason why be should abandon uTl attempts to do bo, and work blindly. There are many farmers who are careful men, who are striving to reduce their ope rations to systematic rules, and who are doing a good deal In this line In the way of keeping dully records of the milking of each cow, In keeping ledger accounts with each Impottaut crop, and In carefully recording the average work done by faithful men In the sev eral occupations of the farm. These are the kind of farmers who are, aa a rule, successful. They quickly detect a leak when one occurs, and can usual ly tell, after a year or two of expe rience, which operations of the farm are profitable and deserve extension, and which should be abandoned as un likely to prove profitable. The farm er's business as usually carried on Is largely a mixed industry. There are usually a few staples produced for sale which the farm is adapted for by na ture to produce; and, besides, there Is a considerable variety of produce raised for home consumption by the family or by hired help. If the farmer would carefully count the cost of each of these products, be would doubtless find that he could profitably extend some of the email products, und sell the sur plus at a profit, and not infrequently he would discover that some of the staples supposed to yield a sure profit are produced at a very small profit, or even at a loss. In short, the farmer ' who uses his brains, and does not sole ly rely upon the strength of his muscle, Is moat likely to be successful. The absolute follures are those who at tempt to get along with a minimum ex penditure of both qualities. Ptnp the row Kicking. The klckiug cow, while milking, Is an abomination, says a correspondent of the American Agriculturist. To pre vent the kicking a small rope or large cord should be passed around the body Just In front of the udder and over the top of the hips. It need not be drawn tight Just snug will do and no cow to which It Is applied will even try to SIMPLE PLAW THAT PREVENTS KICKING. kick. Sometimes a cow thus tetherd will lift a foot as If to kick, but some how she seems to change ber mind and puts It down again. Kam Plant-. The egg plant is not difficult to grow, and It Is one of those vegetables not often seen on farmers tables, but which. If provided, would help make an agreeable variety. The purple egg plant Is most productive and best. The plant belongs to the same botanical family as the potato, and must be pro tected from attacks of the potato larva. The best way is to watch the plants closely so long as the potato beetles are flying, and kill the beetles before they have laid their eggs. If any larvae hatch a weak dilution of parts green will kill tbem. Petal! Trice of Chee. Considering the small risks run, mid dlemen make far too large a profit on cheese. Four, five and even six cents a pound between the wholesale and re- tall prices is much 100 great a differ ence. When there la a good-sized fam ily, all liking cheese, It does not take many days to dlsoso of a whole cheese. If more people would make cheese a staple article of diet, it could be used Instead of meats with great ad vantage In summer. Cnttlnnr rotate Peed. It Is slow, tedious work to cut the po tato seed for planting larg fields. Yet with most kiuds of potatoes the cut seed Is a necessity, for If the seed Is planted wliole there will be too many small potatoes from crowding of so many stalks In a hill. It is true not all the eyes on a whole or even of a cut po tato will grow, but If seed is planted whole there will be far too many for profit' It Is dirty work cutting pota toes, pot so much from the' soli adher ing to them as from the potato juice, which discolors and rusts the knife and stains the hands. This discoloring Is easily removed by wetting the bands iu pure water without soap, and then holding them over one or two burning sulphur matches. The fumes of sul phur are excellent to blcacb anything. Making Cornrowa Mralgnt. Much lubor in cultivation may be saved by making corn rows straight. It Is very bard to hold the cultivator so as to miss bills that are alternately a few Inches out of plumb line one side or the other. The result Is that In try ing to save the hills-It Is Impossible to cultivate the soil as It should be or to take all the weeds. With the corn In a straight line earth may be drawn from the stalk and thrown back again so as to destroy all the weeds while. they are small, it requires not ouiy a true eye in the driver, but an active, strong horse to draw the marker straight across the field. It Is not ev- j ery man or horse that can ever be j taugnt to do it. lnose wuo can suoum be paid extra for the Job, for their work is really skilled labor. Breeding Ground Hon for Food. Mr. Henry Singer, a well-known and thrifty farmer of near Duvall Station, Scott County, Ky., has for the past two years been domesticating the ground hog with much success. Mr. Singer found a burrow In which he captured seventeen ground bogs, ' and, taking them Into a small lot on bis place, he built a close wire fence through which none could escape. , I.ast year the hogs iucreased to 200, and this year there were 1.C73. Of this number Mr. Singer killed 1,000, which he salted away and will smoke dry. as Kentucky fanners do with ordinary pork. The ground hog wheu so cured Is a great delicacy, and Mr. Singer has more than enough to furnish his meat for the coming year. Southwestern Stockman. Fave the Graaa Feed. It Is an easy matter to save bay seed by a slatted manger bottom (a), as shown In the cut If the seed Is fanned, It may be used for spring seeding. Oi j If weedy, as poultry never void undi gested food, such seeds may be profit ably fed to the poultry by placing In A GRASS BIRD CATCHER. the scratch room each week. Farm and Home. Profit from Garden iferba. A few papers of herb seeds, such as sage, parsley and the like, should be found In every farmer's garden. They are easily grown, and a home supply will not only save paying out a good deal of money In the course of a year, but the surplus may be sold at rates which leave a good profit The demand Is not large In any neighborhood, but for the amount of land and labor re quired few garden products pay as well. Work In Ponltrr Keeping Every year many people begin poul try keeping with a vague notion that It is on easy way to get a living, all the work being done mainly by the hens. But such persons Inevitably fall, as they ought There Is no easy way to success in anything. To keep fowls free from vermin and disease needs con stant attention and a great deal of dirty and. very disagreeable manual labor. Wheat Talk. The rent of wheat land In South Car olina Is estimated at 12.40 an acre. The average yield of wheat in New South Wales Is fifteen bushels to the acre. The name wheat occurs more than 100 times In the Old and New Testa ments. Graham flour, when properly made, consists of the whole wheat ground to gether. Manitoba, the great wheat farm of British America, raises 19.7 bushels to the acre. Couch grass, a very objectionable plant In wheat fields. Is Itself of the wheat family. New Zealand Is more productive tnan New South Wales, yielding 26.5 bushels per acre. ' pox FOR ittrj).

Many attempts have been made to use tnrf or peat as fuel, but this mate rial has never obtained great Impor tance, because in comparison to its stuull heating value, its volume was too largo, and consequently the trans portation ' was found loo expensive; moreover, the considerable amount of nshes it produced made it impractica ble to use in any quantity. Suddenly it seems the time has arrived for peat to enter into competition with, and in some cases to substitute all other fuels. An invention, the economical impor tance of which is inestimable at the present moment,, was. recently patented by Mr. Kosendahl, of Christinstad, Norway, which country probably pos sesses the largest dejiosits of peat in the world. His method of making a praotinal fuel of peat simply consists in beating the peat in iron ovens to 250 degrees centigrade, and when this temperature is readied to close all the valves of the oven, the temperature of 200 degrees being kept up tor seven hours. ' This process changes the mate rial considerably, and the tar andfgas eous products of thecoal-like remainder represent 80 per cent of the whole. A oheinioal analysis of the product, made at the Christiania University, showed the prepared peat to contain 65 per cent of pure carbon, 16 per cent of oxygen, 6 per cent of hydrogen, 4 per cent water and, what is most surpris ing, only B per cent of substances which will remain as residue in the shape of ashes. The new peat-coal has a the oretljal heating value of 6,600 oaloric units, which is equal to that of medium grade anthracite coal. - The cost of peat-coal, however, is so small that it can be sold at a profit for $1.75 per ton, while an qoal quantity of anthracite coal costs from f 4 to 5. By the pro cess of Rosendhol, even in its present erode state, the production of peat-coal costs but 75 cents per ton, and it is very likely that even tbh cost will be con siderably reduced before long. Tests have been made with the new material at theKrnppworks at Essen, Germany, and it was fonnd that the new fuel gave better results than either anthra cite or coke in the iron foundries and for the production of Bessemer steel. In some of the cantons of Switzer land nil the dead, rich as well as poor, are buried at the publio expense. Cof fins and all other necessary articles are furnished on application to certain un dertakers designated by the government Everything connected with the inter ment is absolutely gratuitous. In the city of Durango, Mexico, is an iron mountain 640 feet high, and the iron is from 60 to 70 per cent pure, The metallic mass spreads in all direc tions for a radius of three or four miles. The building inspector of Washing' ton, D. C, has declared for day labor on publio works, and has made such recommendation to the commissioners of the district During the lost 60 years Germany, Austria and England have each re tained their birth rates undiminished, while thut of Italy has slightly in creased. An effort is under way to substitne electrioity for steam at the Cripple Creek (Col.) mines. The cost of the coal at the mines is from 6 to $7 per ton. A pair of gloves passes through about 200 hands from the moment the skin leaves the dressers until the gloves are purchased by the intending wearer. Baltimore has fixed by an ordinance the pay of laborers at $10 per week, nine hours a day. Pbiladephia fixes the rate at $1.75 for nine hours. The Alabama legislature has passed a bill exempting cotton faotories, here after to be built in Alabama, from tax ation for ten years. . Boston employs 2,750 laborers, who receive from $2.02 to $2.25 a day, and a counoilman wants 15 cents added to the pay of each employe.

There is comlort In the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the sj;stein, which the pleasant family laxative, Hvrupof Figs, prompt ly removes. Thut is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere eHteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, Unit it is the one remedy vthich promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when yon pur chase, thut you have the genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Ctli fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed.
