A common way of feeding dray ftorses and other street teams In the city Is Illustrated here.

This sack Is anywhere from a foot to fourteen The bottom Ih mmlu .lose BAG. .tiches In length. of a good stiff piece of harnexs leather! nit out and sewed firmly Into the hem of the ducking. A leuther strap Is riveted Into one side of the mouth of the sack, and a buckle Is riveted on the other, so that the whole may be ntriiped on to the home's bead, as shown. In order to feed a home miist be unchecked, arid he soon learns to place the sack on the ground, where he can push his now? to the bottom of it to clean out the last of the food. For the farmer who takes a day to go to town these sacks will Iks found very handy, as a horse can be fed with them without any waste of grain pro viding he is unchecked. A little cau tion should be used in placing the sack on a horse not ai'uxtorned to It, as It may cause him to Jerk back.

The barn is a telltale on the care!esj or wasteful farmer. li fact, economy in farming Vgics at the bam In the proper handling of food, caring for the manure, care of tools and harness ard the care given to' the live st.jck stabled there. There is al ways a best way to do things, and the best way Is generally the paying one. Far Laaar Stock Dip or wa.h the animals with a 1 01 2 per cent water solntlon of a tar dis infectant, such as kreso. A convenient way to apply the remedy In the larger animals Is with a spray pump, and in sheep or hogs by dipping. Whatever method Is used, the coat and skin must be thoroughly wet with the solution. After treating the herd, the stables, sheds or sleeping quarters should be f prayed with about a 2 per cent water solution of the disinfectant, or white wash may be used Instead. This Is necessary In order to prevent reinfect ing the herd from the surroundings. If there Is much Utter around the yards It Is advisable to move the herd to other coral. Tar disinfectants in 1 or 2 jkt cent solutions do not destroy the eggs or nits, hence it is necessary to treat the animal again in ten days or two weeks. Stockmen sometime ask if the feeding of sulphur to lousy atroy the lice. The feeding of small doses of sulphur will do no barm, nor will It help In getting rid of the lice, and It cannot be considered a remedy for this class of disorders when used In this way. Sulphur is effective, how ever, when used externally, and the addition of four ounces to every gallon of tar disinfectant solution used great ly Increases the effectiveness of the remedy. Field and Farm. Foxtail and ricwrrd. Both these weeds are annuals; that Is, they grow from seeds each year or season and the plants die after ripen ing seeds. The way to keep tbera down Is to prevent the plants from ripening seed and making sure that are no seeds In the grain sown upon the farm. Fox tall Is troublesome, because It springs up In cultivated fields after the crops are laid by, and then it comes np In stubble and in meadows and pastures. Late cultivation of corn fields, and mowing the stubble, meadows and pas tures to keep seeds from forming, is the way to attack this weed. Judging from the way these weeds spring up, whenever conditions are favorable, there must be great stores of them In cultivated fields showing the seeds are long-lived. Pigweed quickly springs ud In corn or potato fields, after culti vation has ceased. These seeds ripen from August 13 to November 1. so It will take vigorous measures to get rid of them. In fact, the only way to get ria or these weeds Is to cut them down before seeds mature. If a crop of them is left to mature In corn fields, and then the seeds plowed under the coming season, you have stored away enough seeds to bother yon for the next ten years. Money la Peannt Ralalna;, Texas farmers are getting 90 cents 1 bushel for peanuts, and with a yield of from fifty to sixty bushels to the acre are calling It "big money." The acreage In peanuts for another year will be large, as this price will bflng more than cotton at 10 cents per pound. The farmers of Burmah have recog nized the commercial value of the pea nut, and have this year Increased the area planted to 78,74.'! from 37,110 acres last year, and It is reported that n much larger area will be planted to this tuber next season. Thus far most of the peanut planting Is done In the provinces of Magwe and Mylngyan. Barn Door I'roa.

Ten or fifteen years ago authorities writing on the subject stated that If only It were possible to make engines so light as to weigh but ten pounds per boree-power, there would be no difficul ty In constructing a flying machlie. A few years after, petrol engines were made of such a weignt lo-iay, says Technical Literature, they are made. and on the market, weighing no more than two and a half pounds per horse power. A few years ago the late Professor Langley expressed the opinion that sud den changes in the Intensity of the solar radiation were respoasible for re markably cold summers or warm win ters. During the recent International Congress on Solar Research held at Meudon, near Paris, Monsieur Deslan dres called attention to a new method of research bearing upon this question. Remarking that hitherto It has been found exceedingly difficult to determine the variations In the sun's radiation by comparing Its amount at different times from the whole solar disk, be showed that better estimates might be made by measuring and comparing the radiation from separate parts of the sun. In this way, he thought, the amount of the to tal variation might be ascertained more accurately. In July, 1IWI, quarrymen near Engl houl, Belgium, unexpectedly opened a passage into a great and previously un known cavern. Its ejfistenee, however, had been suspected by a local miner alogist, Mr. E. Doudou, on account of the disappearance of small streams In the neighborhood. Mr. Doudou at once began an exploration of the new cav ern, which has since been continued. It contains may large and beautiful cham bers, bat Is especially remarkable for Its concretions, and for a kind of min eral snow covering the floors, so light that a breath sends It whirling. In some places are found little basins filled with limpid 'water, which has begun to cover Itself with a fine film of crystal line glass. The Innumerable crystal stalactites In the cave are remarkable for the musical tones they give forth at the slightest touch. Do Rnalneaa WomfB Elevate T "One of the most vital results of the presence of women In business," says Anna Steese Richardson In the Wom an's Home Companion, "is the tenden cy of the average girl of natural refine ment and good home training to hard en and coarsen under the Influences on store or office life than to raise the tont of her environment by ,her own gentle breeding. "I lielleve there are women who exert a good Influence In the offices and stores where they work, but they are the ex ception, not the rule. They hnve such nobility of character, such rare natures, that they would be a power for good anywhere, under any conditions. But, alas, the average woman wage earner has only the average moral and mental nature, and she can no more be a power for good In business than In the home. On the other hand, I firmly believe that the presence in business of thousands of silly. Inexperienced, unbalanced girls Is lowering the standard of inanli'xsl and womanhood all over the laud. Bar rier after barrier Is going down before the familiarity of business life, and al ready many of tho Inrge coriHiratlons, like the life Insurance companies, have found It necessary to segregate the men and women during the working hours, to supply them with separate offices, separate lunch rooms, separate eleva tor. Does this look ns If the refining, elevating Influence of women had stood the test of a generation of freedom and equality In the wage-earning field?" Aa Interruption.

There were some doubts In the com munity as to Homer Floyd's fitness for position on the school board, owing to certain lapses in his early educa tion; but his first speech In his official capacity silenced the tongues of all critics.

Prot Joly, who made a geological ex amination of the stones and the debris collected during the construction of the Bimplon tunnel, reports that he has found rich traces of radium, indicating larger deposits than have yet been dis covered elsewhere in Europe. He be lieves that the existence of so much radium caused the abnormal heat de veloped In the construction of the tun nel. He is continuing his researches.
