Born. Nature's Disinfectant, Cleanser and Purifier
Evryo"e realizes the necessity of some
method of purification of -inks, drains and
utensils in which may lurk the germ ol
dreaded disease.
Health is a qui stii n of cleanliness and
preven ion.
Most people are fnmi'inr with the use ol
disinfectants in t eir ordinary sense all
of which are either unpl asantly associated
with disagreeable odors n which are de
pended o kill the germ of contacion (which
disinfectants must of necessity be of a more
or less dangerous Ch irac er), and must be
used for this purpose and no other, nnd in
convenience must be kept from children
and ca elens nanal ng.
T' ere is, however, within the reach of all
of all our reader a simple, safe and econ
omical article that wili not only answer for

Low Dona Barrow for Capacity.
The drawing shows a low down bur
row la sufficient detail to enable any
one to make a similar ona We think
that next to the low down cart It Is
the handiest thing around the buildings
and garden that we have, says a writer
In Farm and Fireside. Its capacity is
more than double that of the ordinary
k-ind, and the load Is much more easily
put aboard. It has the advantage of
getting into close quarters where the
cart would not go, and for use about
the feeding alleys, the stable, the lawn
and the garden there Is hardly anything
that will take its place.
For the framework get two pieces of
hardwood two by two Inches will
project to form handles on one end
and for the wheel frame on the other.
At front end of box In rear of wheel
a piece of the same dimensions Is mor
tised into the frame to hold It rigidly
and to make the front end of box
frame. Pieces lV&xli Inches are also
mortised Into the bottom of the legs,
both front and back. These form the
LOW DOWN BABBOW.
foundation for the floor, which should
be of three-quarter-inch boards. The
legs are mortised Into the shaft or han
dle pieces, the front ones resting about
three Inches from the ground and the
rear ones securely braced, as shown In
the cut
If desired the sides may be built
from the floor solid and straight up,
but we find it better to have a per
manent bed from floor to top of han
dles, with removable side boards to slip
on for use in handling bulky stuff.
Heavy material, such as bags of fer
tilizer, large stones, etc., are easily han
dled with this type of barrow, as they
may be loaded between the handles di
rectly from the ground.
Frntt Tree and Grass.
Extended experiments recently con
ducted In England have shown clearly
that fruit trees suffer very materially,
and are often killed outright, when
grass Is allowed to grow under the tree
and close up to the trunk. Various
probable reasons for this effect, such
as the removal of plant food and of
water by the grass, also the supposed
liberation of carbonic acid, which might
prove Injurious to the roots of the
trees, were respectively demonstrated
to be outside the primary cause of In
Jury, and, finally, nfter seven years'
work. It was concluded that the Injuri
ous effect could only be due to some
poisonous substance formed In the soil
by the roots of the grass.
On the other band, It Is a well-known
fact that In many Instances consider
able difficulty Is expressed In obtaining
a growth of grass tinder trees. There
Is distinct evidence that plants produce
toxic conditions In the substance In
which they grow; ns a rule the ex
cretions given off by the roots of a cer
tain plant are more toxic to the same
or a nearly related plnnt than to plants
not so closely related. The effect of
tree-seedlings on the growth of wheat
was tested, nnd after eliminating, as
a cause of Injury, such factors ns re
moval of plnnt of food or water by the
tree roots, It seemed that the roots of
the latter had some direct effect on the
growth of the wheat, which suffered In
all the experiments. The seedlings were
placed In plant pots, hence the roots of
the tree and those of the wheat plants
were In close contact.
Trees of various kinds were used In
the experiments, and the retarding In
fluence, although noted In every In
stance, differed In degree; cherry was
least active In checking growth, pine
most so. The conclusion arrived at
was that the effect of trees on wheat
appears to be due to the excrotlon of
tubstanee by the trees toxic to wheat.
The Peach Crop of 1008.
' The fruit crop the past year was
Ight, but It brought a very good price,
and the prosiects now are that Okla
homa may have an excellent crop In
1908, says a bulletin Issued by the
State. The drought during the summer
prevented excessive growth, and the
early fall rains caused the trees to set
a good crop of fruit buds. The orchards
that were well cultivated have now
passed into winter quarters In good
condition. There Is a great variation
'n the number of fruit buds set on the
different varieties of peaches, and In
different orchards, but the plums seem
to be uniformly full of fruit buds.
Trees that have not been pruned well
each season have relatively poor set
ting of fruit buds, rium and cherry
trees do not require as much pruning
as do the peach trees. Peach trees may
be pruned any time from the first of
December to the middle of March. The
branches should be cut back to about
one-half of the length of last season's
growth. This form of trimming will
thin the fruit and keep the tree from
growing tall. This Is a distinct advan
tage In gathering the fruit and la
spraying the trees.
Carina; Ham and Shoulders.
As soon as possible after the meat Is
cold all through, the 'hams and shoul
ders should be cured. They should be
placed on a table In the cellar, skin
side down. Then for every 100 pounds
of meat make a mixture of four pounds
of the best fine salt, two ounces of pow
dered saltpeter, and four ounces of
brown sugar. This mixture should be
well rubbed Into the hams all over, and
some pushed Into hock end around the
bone. Keep on rubbing until the meat
will take no more; then let them re
main on the table for a week, when the
remainder of the mixture can be rubbed
In. Allow them to lie for about two
weeks altogether, and then hang up by
a string placed through the hock, In a
cool, dark emnkehviv
For two or three days keep up a good
smoke from hickory chips, smothered
with sawdust, during the day. Keep In
a cool place, and before spring exam
ine to see that no Insects have deposited
eggs. Dust a little cayenne pepper,
then cover with coarse muslin to fit the
ham exactly and stitch tightly. Give
a coat of whitewash or chrome yellow,
and hang In a cool, dark, dry place.
For curing in pickle, to one gallon of
water take one and a half pounds of
salt half a pound of sugar, hnlf an(
ounce each of saltpeter and potash. In
this ratio the pickle can be Increased
to enough to cover any amount of pork.
Boll together until all dirt rises to the
top and Is skimmed off. When cold
pour It over the hams or pork, which
may be pickled In this way. The meat
must be well covered by It, and should
not be put down for at least two days
after killing, during which time It
should be slightly sprinkled with salt
peter, which removes all the surface
blood, leaving the meat fresh and clean.
A good way to keep hams Is to pack
In dry salt In a dry place, not having
any part exposed or touching each
other.
Bar for Drying- Clothe.
If your wife wants a clothes bar so
she can dry ber clothes In the house,
then borrow a -Inch auger, a plane
and a saw if you have none. Get some
light pine lumber 2 inches wide and 1
Inch thdck, cut 8 bars ; 4 bars 3 feet 11
Inches long, these are for the lower
ones. The 4 bars for the top are 1
foot 11 Inches long. You can make It
as wide as you wish and 8 rods are
needed to go crosswise for holding the
bars together and to hang the clothes
on. Dress the rods to about 1 Inch
square and make them smooth so as to
not tear the clothes. For bars the size
as given" above the rods need to be of
the following lengths: Four rods 4 feet
long; 2 rods 4 feet 2 Inches long; 2
reds 3 feet 10 inches long, 1 rod 4 feet
3 Inches long, this is the center rod
nnd must project 3 Inches at one end ;
cut another rod 4 feet 4 Inches long,
use It for the top and have It to pro
ject 2 Inches so ns to receive the plnce
shown In the engraving to regulate the
height. Yon can shut or open It to any

Study of Muahrooma.
A singular and very Interesting and
useful Institution has been established
in the little city of Tarnre, near Lyons,
Frnnee. It Is n mycologlcul bureau
where expert judgment Is furnished
concerning mushrooms, many of which
are poisonous. Since the establishment
of the bureau nobody buys mushrooms
which do not carry Its ticket of Identi
fication ond guarantee, and all the
country people from miles around bring
their mushrooms for examination. One
surprising result has been the discovery
of scores jof edible mushrooms, which
before nobody dared to touch.

BAD
THE SOURCE OF JUX DISEASE;
Every part of the body la dependent on the blood for nourishment and
6trength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of
purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health
lecause pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however
the body is fed oa weak. Impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different ekiu affections
ehow that the blood is ia a feverish and diseased'eonanion as a result of too
much acid or the presence of eorne irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter ia the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Toison, etc., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poisoa remains.
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood ia various ways.
Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the
avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and

throughout the circulation. Coming ia contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and
microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood ia
Bufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
