Into an oyster can that was lying In

Mr. Wlmtns captured the animal and

Incident might, serve an a tip to or

to rid themselves of digger squirrels.
All that will lie necessary, according
to him, will Ik secure a wagon load
of empty oyster cans, strew them In
the orchard and shoot off a gun.
Result, gnthcr up the oyster cans
plus the diggers.
HELPED BY HUMIDITY.
Many Materials and Produota Whioh
Require Moiat Air.
There are many materials, operations
od products which require special
atmospheric condition for advanta
geous or profitable maintenance. Prin
cipal among such operations Is the
manufacture of textiles, perhaps the
largest single Industry carried on in
factories, la the favored climate of
(be Lancashire district of England the
natural climate affords working con
ditions equaleS la America only on oc
casional days In certain localities.
Even la England, however, there are
many days In wblcb the atmosphere Is
too dry for the best work.
Since textile fibers are Increased in
strength and elasticity by btgb humid
Ity and moderately hlgb temperature,
breakages are lesa frequent under
proper conditions, and the output Is In
creased. But even before the fiber
reaches tbe manufacturing plant at
mospheric humidity plays an important
part Cotton loses weight as It dries
out, but, more than that, the fibers
bristle and appear shorter aod of lower
grade than when slightly moistened.
Leather, feathers and many other por
ous substances lose a considerable per
centage of weight In drying out, so that
the maintenance of average and uni
form humidity in the storage rooms
has a direct advantage to the owner
In maintaining the value of bis goods
as tbey He In tbe warehouse. Cigars
and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and
regain it to some extent, after loss,
by storage lu proper humidified rooms.
Wooden furniture and musical Instru
ments are sometimes cracked or tbe
finish Injured by tbe dry air of steam
beated rooms. All these and other
similar goods are advantageously
worked or stored in rooms In wblcb tbe
atmospheric humidity is artificially
controlled and kept at tbe most desira
ble point Engineering.
A PIG'S SQUEAL
It Played a Momentous Part In Ameri
can History.
Tbe war between this country and
England In 1812 was caused by one
vote, and, stranger still, tbe small mar
gin came from a pig getting Its bead
stack In a rail fence. It was a Rbode
Island fence at that, but built much
like a Virginia worm fence.
Tbey were having an election of
members of tbe legislature In Rbode
Island. One Federalist put off going
to tbe election and left himself Just
time enough to get there before tbe
polls closed. Just as be got on bis
horse and started for town be beard a
nig squeal. He looked around and
saw that tbe pig bad its bead Jammed
Into that old rail fence, and anybody
who knows anything about bogs
knows that tbe bogs would bare eaten
tbat pig up If It hadn't been rescued.
Tbe farmer stopped long enough to
liberate tbe pig. and when be got to
the polls they were closed. He was
too late.
Tbe result was tbat a Democratic
member of tbe legislature was elected
from tbat district by one vote, and be
would not have been elected if tbat
Federal had got there on time. In
the legislature a Democratic United
states senator was elected by one vote,
and tbat Democratic legislator wbo
bad been elected by one vote voted
for blm.
In tbe United States senate tbey
voted for the war of 1812 by one vote.
and tbat Rbode Island Democratic
senator wbo had been elected because
tbat pig was caught in tbe fence voted
for tbe war of 1812. Popular Maga
zine. Not Waxwork.
The opening of the courts in an as
size town in England is always a great
day for the residents. Tbe procession
to tbe church, where tbe Judge says
bis prayers and listens to a homily,
tbe march to tbe court, with the at
tendant Javelin men and tbe braying
of trumpets the men la wigs and
gowns fill tbe rustic mind with the
tense of awe and tbe majesty of Jus
tice. It Is related In Mr. Thomas Ed
ward Crispe's book, "Reminiscences
of a K. C.," that a farmer once took
bis son into tbe crown court.
On tbe bench was tbe Baron Cleasby,
gorgeous In scarlet and ermine, statu
esque and motionless. Tbe yokel gazed
with open moutb at tbe resplendent
figure on the raised dais. Suddenly
tbe baron moved bis hand from right
to left and left to right.
"Why, feyther," said the boy, "it's
alolve!"

Water VJorhs on the Farm
Yet, that's just what we meaa real mxUrr worki; running water in the kitchen, the bathroom,
the laundry, the barn in fact, all over the place. And it's all done by that tank yon aee la tbe
lower if il nana corner of this picture the leader ByMrra. It a TaMly ainrrent
Irota the old-fashioned elevated tank which worked by (rarity. the
Leader Water Supply System fa operated by tomfimsrd air reliable, aafa
and cleanly. Your windmill pumpa ater into the tank (which ia already
full of air). The air, being elastic, ia compressed Into upper part of the
tank, and forcca the water out through the pipes.
This givea you a pressure, ao that a powerful stream of water ia am
tap at every faucet, no matter where it is located. And this meana av)j
hut jirt-prottLtion, tor the preaaure ia olwaji mm and alwaya ready.
Now, tbe old style gravity tanks were cither put ia the attic or ait
sated on a high tower out of doora.
Ia tbe former case, their weight when full, cracked the plastering; or
tbey overflowed or leaked, flooding the rooms below.
In the case of the outside tanks, the water often
froze aolid ia winter, necessitating eapensive plumb
ing bills; or it became but and atagnant during
tbe summer aod unfit lor use. The
Leader Water

avoids all this, because the air-tight tank ia

ground below the frost line. Every outfit

no repairs, la autted to email buildinga or
