It will keep two men busy on the stack all tbe time, and they will not have to reach over the edge of the stack to help get the bay up. Besidee, It does not drag up the side of tbe stack, as many pitchers de nor does It make the stack heavier on one aide than the other. A round stack can be built twemty feet high and easily made to hold from twelve to fifteen tons. It saves time, mony, help, muscle, patience "and other things too numerous to mention." Coet'y Crop Pests. The proceeds from the wheat crop, the average annual farm value of whloh may be roughly put at four hundred million dollars, have In more than one year been cut down as much as fifty per cent as a result of the ravages of the chinch bug and the Hessian fly. King Cotton alone was damaged to the extent of nearly fifty million dollars by the so-called Mexi can boU weevil, in the slnle State of Texas, in 1006, according to a care fully icomplled report tsaued by tbe Census Bureau. The apple crop ha been reduced es much as twenty-lve per cent In many seasons through tie operations of the codling moth and other Insects. So one might ge through the entire list The burden Is dis tressingly heavy, but ft Is safe to as sert that farmers themselves who, obviously, ought to know as much of this phase of the matter as anybody will agree that their losses. In practi cally every Instance, would be far greater were the scientific knowledge of tho Department of Agriculture's staff not put to account A careful survey of the facts leads to the conclu sion that the total damage each year would be from two to four times as large were It not for the Department of Agriculture's unremitting warfare against the pests, and that a maxi mum annual destruction of two billion dollars, or nearly one-half the whole yearly value of the country's crops, at present, would be possible. C. Arthur Williams In "Success Magazine." Water for Horses. The amount of water required by horses varies mora than for any other animal. It is greatly affected by work and feed, being about twice as great when the horse Is at hard work and much greater when fed on dry roughage than when fed on a eon centrated ration. In one exparlment a horse while walking required 27.3 pounds of water dally, while trotting and performing ho required CO pounds. Farm and Live Stock Journal. Value of Heavy Bod. While not for a moment advocating extravagance It Is safe to say that most farmers ought to add one-half more, at least, to the quantity of grays seed they use both In the first seed ing and the reseedlng of meadows. Not only should this be done In order to get better crops of hay and to have a growth of grass Instead of weeds which find a place where the seeding is light, but in order that when the sod Is to be turned undex it is of the greatest possiDia varus to the crops which are to follow. A Good Btock Tonic. Each of the many stock foods, or condlniental spices now on the market, has Its own particular composition.-! and it is better, both from the poiuis of view of economy and cleaullness, to make use of these, but If this is quite ! impossible the following recipe may be safely adopted: Turmeric, oue-nnl. pound; cumin, one-half pound; gentian, three-fourths pound; ground ginger, one-half pound; grains of paradise, one-half pound; bi-carbouate of soda, six ounces; fenugreek, six ounces; blood root, four ounces; asafoetldu. four ounces, brown sugar, five pounds; fine salt 1 3-4 pounds. The above In gredients should be well ground by the druggist and be thoroughly mixed -t .K .1-nnllnila nf An.l. nuu um uiuuauu uuoj ground meal, or, if desired, It may be fed without the meal. When mixed j with maize meal the quantity to be fed to a horse, cow, or ox at each feed Is one pint, and to each calf. foal, sheep, or hog, half a pint When fed without the meal It should be giv en in the proportion of a tablespoonful to a horse, cow or ox, and half thnt quantity for each of tbe smaller farm animals. Indigestion In Cows. It is a common expression to speak of a cow as losing her cud when flhe stops ruminating The trouble is diw to indigestion wholly, and may be easily remedied, in most eases, by a proper diet Usually this trouble oc curs most frequently in the winter, when the cows nre heavily grain fed, but sometimes occurs with cows in the summer who are on the rnng", but aro receiving some grain. . In such cases a good plan Is to cut out the grain ra tion entirely for a few days, or until the cow again chews her cud. For a time after she resumes rnminntin?. feed her largely on the grass with some good hay, and gradually get her on to the grain. A day or two after the grain ration has been cut oft the- cow should have a single dose of one pound of Epsom salts ami two ounces of ground ginger root mixed in two quarts of warm water. In the winter redA.th -mi., mfcinn nne-lmlf e-ivi. her the medicine named above at the beginning of tbe treatment, and make up the ration with roots or ensilage. At all times cows should have free ac cess to rock salt for It is a great diges tive. . To Put Potatoes in Cellar. Here. Is an excellent device for use ln unloading apples or potatoes from a cart to the cellar. Take a niece of No. 12 wire (telephone wire) and run It from a stake ln front of the rollway down through the rollway, or potato bin. String two Iron hooks on the wire and hook the loaded basket upon these, when the load will slide smooth ly down and across the cellar, where the helper can empty the basket A light cord attached to the basket al lows the man outside to pull the bas ket back for another load. This saves a Urge amount of heavy lifting and saves time also, since two baskets can be kept going, books on the wire, device In action. I'Ig. 1 shows the Fig. 2 shows the Pastnring and Soiling;. A comparison was made .at the Ne braska Experiment Station of tbe amount of feed produced and the ef fect upon the yield of milk and butter fat when certain crops were pastured and when they were cut aud fed. The crops so tested were alfalfa, aor ghum and Indian corn. In the case of each of these from two to three times us much feed was procured from a given area of land when the erop was cut and fed as when It was pastured. Top Dressing Forage Crops. At the New Jersey Experiment Sta tion tests have been made of nitrate of soda as a top dressing on forage crop in connection with the manures and fertilizers generally used. In all cases a very marked Increase due to the ap plication of nitrate occurred, ranging from 84.1 per cent for corn to OC.O per cent for barley profitable return from the use of the nitrate on all crops except the barley, which, owing to unfavorable weather conditions, did not make a lurge yield. ' The Brood Sows. v Give brood sows the freedom of the pasture fields when wltb young pigs and at soon as the pigs are old enough to eat feed a' little shelled corn and dry middlings with a mash of wheat middlings aud milk. Sows with pigs should always have access to a good blue grass pasture and should not be fed too much corn. The largest part of the ration should be made up of oats and bran with a little oil meal, nave plenty of charcoal and ashes con stantly available. An occasional feed f tart will be found profitable.

THE SWIFT What Becomes of the Bibles. , The announcement of Dr. James Morrow, secretary of the Pennsylvania Bible Society, that his organization alone distributed 10,000,000 Bibles Inst year, while 5,000,000 were sold by the trade, again culls attention to the Im mense circulation of the book.

Those strange beings, lived in water whose tempera ture was constantly just above the freezing point and under a pressure of 9,000 pounds to the square inch.
