A recent improvement in sprinkling wagons bids fair to revolutionize road and street sprinkling in the country where there is no water system to sup ply water from hydrants. Heretofore it has been the puBtom to erect pump ing plants, or to pipe water from dis tant points to stations along the road at such distances that the load at one of theee stations would last until the wagon reached the next station on its trip. This plan makes necessary the expense of piping, tanks, wells, horse powers, etc., and has always been a very considerable item of expense, and mon or less of an obstacle to having roads well watered. The improvement consists in attach-, ing a gasoline engine and centrifugal pump on a platform at the rear of the sprinkling wagon so that water can be taken from any convenient source. A, suction hose with foot valve is attaohed to the pump which can be lowered into a tank, creek, watering trough, or any water source. The wagon driver then starts the engine, and in from six to ten minutes his wagon is filled. The illustration shows a wagon and" pumping outfit just completed by the Hercules Gas Engine Co., of San Fran cisco and now in use by the Supervisors of Tulare county upon the roads near Visalia. It consists of an improved type of an ordinary sprinkling wagon, and a plat form built at the rear of the tank upon which stands a 2 H. P. Special Her cules Gasoline Engine geared to a 8 inch centrifugal pump. From this pump runs a rubber suction hose and discharge pipe into the tank. The tank holds 12,000 gallons of water which will be filled by the pump in six min utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex ceed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and at a coHt of about 3 cents for each fill ing. The uses to which this improve ment can bo put are not confined to road sprinkling, but it is applicable to any purpose where water has to be hauled, as, for instance, supplying threshing machinery or convoying water from one point to another for any pur pose. The simplicity of the engine makes its use perfectly safe and relia ble, as it is automatic- in action, all that is needed being to open the valve admitting the gasoline, and to give the wheel a start with the hand. It is durable and not at all likely to get out of order, requirng neither engineer noi machinist to keep it in condition for work. Sprinkling country roads has been considerable of a problem, and it is be lieved that this improvement will go far towards an economical solution of it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works of San Francisco, furnish these wagons and engines in any desired capacity, and fully guarantee thorn in everyway. 8100 REWARD, 10O. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to en re in all its stages and that Is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the meulral fraternity. Catarrh being s constitutional dis ease, requires aoonstltutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken Internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the svs lem, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its woi k. The proprietors have so much faith in Its curative powers, that thev offer One Hundred Dollars foranv case that it falls to cure, bend for lit of te.tlmonials, Address, K. J. CHKNEV, iUo., Toledo, O.

In fact, the two crops require much the same treatment up to the time the roots are taken to the fac tory. The preparation of chicory as a substitute for coffee calls for the slicing and drying of the roots, to be followed by roasting and, later, granulation or grinding, according to tne demands of the trade. There are about half a :zen FACTORY AT o'NBII.L. factories for the final preparation of the root In Nebraska, the one at O'Neill be ing shown In the engraving. Point a on Breeding. A man should breed with some defi nite purpose in view should have au Ideal In his mind, and constantly work toward It. Having grade Jersey now. In what xespect Is a change desired? The Guernseys and Jerseys are very Rlmilnr In most itnportnnt particulars. Neither breed Is noted for giving extra large amounts of milk, but rather for yielding milk of exceptional qual ity. So far as breed Is concerned, we see nothing to be gained by chang ing from Jersey to Guernsey; but there may be a wide mnrgln for choice as be tween Individuals. Itather than breed these grade Jerseys to an Indifferent and unsatisfactory Jersey bull, we would use a Guernsey, If one was of fered, of better form and pedigree. For the same reason, we would not accept an inferior Guernsey, when a better Jersey could be had. There have been some excellent cows of the Guernsey -Jersey cross, but this was not because of the cross-breeding, but because dam and sire were superior animals. Some people affect to think there is some hidden power or virtue In cross-breeding, and they are continu ally following after some will o' the wisp, phantasm or charm. In the de lusive effort to get something for nothing. Cross-breeding is all right provided It Is entered upon with a clear understanding of Its limitation and purposes, but one must not expect to raise profitable cows from sires that hnve only a name to recommend them. There are a great many "scrubs" amonk the full-blooded animals In all breeds. Hoard's Dairyman. stock rs not constantly growing better it shows that It Is as good as the care I: gets. If he had cows that would yiel much more than those he has now the; would deteriorate until they reachei his present standard. Care and feed Ing of the cow while bearing her young and persistent milking of her durlnp this period, have as much to do will making the calf a good milker as hat the animal's pedigree. Scrub treat ment of stock soon reduces It to tht condition of scrubs. Ou the other hand better care of the present stock will In crease Its capacity for producing milk and butter. THE WORRY OF IT. Step Ladders for Fruit Gathering. Considering how easily step ladders are made, and their small cost, It Is sur prising that they are not more used in gathering fruit. The habit 01 climbing all through the tree, bruising and In juring its branches. Is the direct cause of the numerous sap shoots that start out wherever a branch on the trunk is bruised.- There was excuse In the olden time for training fruit trees high, so that cattle and horses when pastur ing the orchard should not reach up and gather most of the fruit prema turely. But most of the orchards late ly are trained with heads so low that a step ladder set under them, and one somewhat higher set against the out side of the tree, will enable the orchard 1st to gather bis fruit more easily and safely than he could going through the trees according to the old fashion. Golden Wax Beans. The golden wax bean Is very popular as a snap bean, though to our taste It has less of the characteristic bean flavor than have the snap beans that are green rather than 'golden In color. Their advantages as a snap bean con sists, we suspect, In being less stringy than the more highly flavored green snap beans, and In keeping their ten derness until nearly the time of ripen- Ing. But when dried nnd shelled, the wax beans are really superior In qual ity, next to Lima beans in tenderness. The only objection to the bean is that when cooked It Is dark colored. But this Is really a small matter. It Is, however, rather difficult to shell the wax bean. Its pod, even when ripened, continues to be thick and does not dry out readily. Hence It must usually be shelled by hand. American Cultivator. 1 UH-HOVED BRACKET. For Washlntc Vehicle. The device shown in the cut will save much time and labor In washing wag ons.

A pall of water Is now poured In and the wheel revolved. The dirt can thus be removed quickly and much more easily than when a pall Is nsed to hold the water. Once used, the benefits of this device will be very apparent. Orange Judd Farmer. Dorset Hlieep. One of the Important advantages of the Dorset sheep Is Its prolificacy. The ewes quite generally farrow two lambs and have been known to drop triplets and raise them all. They are a very hardy sheep, well ablo to defend them selves, and even marauding dogs, who have regarded the sheep as their nat ural and easy prey, have often been obliged to desist when tbey find them selves confronted with the formidable horns with which both the bucks and ewes of this breed are armed. In lo calities where predatory dogs are the shepherd's scourge, the horned Dor set are the sheep that will be most sure to give satisfaction. Better Cows Need Better Care. Mirny farmers think that If they only had the money to buy better cows tbey would then have no trouble In making money. But if the farmer's present Brackets for Stuirltius. A yenr or so ago there was shown In these columns a cut of p wajl bracket for a staging. An improvement Is seen In the first illustra tion. An iron bolt passes through the back of the brack et. through an nu ger hole In the boarding of the wall, then through a bit of hnrd wood board and then through a nut which, being screwed up on the Inside, binds the bracket firmly to the wall on the Inside. To save, the bother of usinga wrench, the nut can be made In one end of a curved bit of Iron. This can be readily turned up w'th the hand. A set of those brackets can be put up In a few moments' time, and save all cut ting and waste of boards, as in the old way of build ing a staging. In the second pic ture Is seen a bracket for roof staging that tells Its own story. It Is adjust able to any pitch of roof, and has sharp Iron points to keep It from slipping. Farm and Home. ROOF BKACKKT. FcediiiK Bait to Cattle. "It has been fully demonstrated," says Capt. C. Adams, mnmiger of the Superior, Neb., Cattle Co., "that It is poor policy to feed cattle salt that you are trying to fatten for the market." Mr. Adams tried the experiment by actual tests. He put so many head In one field, and fed them freely of salt; and an equal number In another field, aud gave no salt. The cattle without salt put on flesh more rapidly nnd were ready for market several days ahead of the other bunch which had been freely salted. After several tests, the cattle firm have decided not to feed salt lav ishly, If any, In the future. Planting Peach Pita. It Is a good plan to plant all peach pits when It Is known that the fruit has been grown on trees free from yellows. If the peach Is an extra good one, It may well be left to fruit uii 1U own stock. Some kinds of peaches repro duce themselves for seed, and nil kinds of this fruit are more likely to produce something nearly like themselves. If the untlve fruit proves to be worthless, a few buds Inserted higher up nfter It has grown large enough to show what It Is, will change It to whatever variety may be desired. Farm Notes. The period of cheapest growth is be fore the animal is matured. The best wny to feed oats is In com bination with other materials. An animal Hint Is Infested with ver min cannot be kept In a good condi tion. Arrange good shelter. Animals can not thrive even with good feed when uncomfortably cold. One advantage with sheep Is that they aid materially In keeping the pastures clean by eating down weeds. Clover hay and good wheat straw In equal parts with a little wheat bran make a ration equal to good timothy hay. Good farming is not only taking ad vantage of favorable circumstances, but also In overcoming adverse condi tions. More or less linseed meal can be used to a good advantage with all classes of stock. It Is not only nutri tious but aids digestion nnd belps to regulate the bowels. Farmers Union. The world has come to know that the muscles have much to do with the heslth of the sj stem, and the era of athletics has so much developed them that the whole man is a stronger being than in former years But the worry of it all is that the muscles are of the iiesh, neshy. A little twist, or slip, or jerk these happen in all work ana then a sprain. Sprains disable and are costly in time and money, but not if St. Jacobs Oil is used, for it cures surely and promptly and the worry cf it is over. A Sad Beginning;.
