Ground Wire Fence". In the summer son son many fanners Misstulri considerable loss of live stock from lightning striking wire fences and killing animals standing near. This loss win ho avoided If the fence Is grounded that Is, a connection made between the wires and the damp soil beneath. This can he done by stanllutr a No. 9 wire along the post from top to bottom and burying the end In the ground deep enough to reach damp earth. These ground wires should be fastened to about every third post. When the light ning strikes a fence thus fixed the cur rent Is conducted into the ground In tead of being deflected into the body f some animal. When a storm comes up stock In a field will naturally drift toward the fence for protection, especially If there are no trees in the Held. The barbs on vlres attract the lightning, which has been known to travel several miles on a fence Ix'fore it was discharged into the ground.' Lightning takes the path of least resistance, and if the body of an animal Is standing near the fence It makes a good conductor and the charge Is deflected, with the result of dead horse or cow. The cost and time needed to ground ft wire fence Is small and need not en ter Into the question, but when a valu able animal is killed, or maybe a whole herd, as lias often happened, the cost is then very considerable. While you may never have had any losses of this kind, It will not pay to put this matter off, lor the next storm that comes -tp may be as disastrous to you as it has been to some of your neighbors. Avoid It by grounding your wire fences In time. Goodall's Farmer. Concrete Water Tank.

Massachusetts sc ientists Dave evolve! a plan for the destruction of the gypsy ai.d niMwi-tuilod moths. They hav looked with dismay on the ravages of ihcse moths in the folia-?-" eiul have idanoed what, lu military science, wo. ild be a tine bit of 3'iuegy. I.' li able by any direct assault to destroy the mollis, the scientists have mUste! the 11. c of an army of moth pin asites. Mtt'e insects that fasten themselves 01, too moths, feed upon niul finally de stroy them. Kight hundred thousand of these parasites have been secured, and at the right moment will be s-t upon the nemy. A singular fact 1b that the ninths do not recognize the para sites as enemies, but seem to tind their presence grateful. They give of their life to support the parasites, ard ul timately, fall a victim to thel. own gt lie rosity. How similar this relation ship to that which too ofien obtain among human beings! S striking Is that similarity and so many unpleas ant tnii.gs does It recall t':,it we almost feel pity for the destructive moths and resentment against the ungrateful para sites whose services have been invoked. Hut a look at the devastation wrought by the moths gives poise and resolution, and we welcome the scientists' strategy l ml wish for it success. Hut what of tne parasites? What misi hief, if tiny, will they work In the ifl'nirs of man when they have de stroyed his enemies, the moths? Will it be necessary to employ another army of Insects to destroy them, and. If so, how much progress will have been made toward the conditions of healthful veg etable growth? Columbus Dispatch. Leather front Frotf Skin.

Few persons realize that a horse's hoof is really the same thing as the toe null's of human beings or of animals having toes. The horn of a hoof grows Just as a toenail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in tin f-hod horses than in those wearing shoes, and It grows faster in horseH which are well groomed nnd well fed. liut on nn average, says the New York Sim, the horn grows about a third of nn inch a month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the longest part, It takes longer for the horn to grow down there than at the heel. For Instance, the toe will grow entire ly down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down lu from three to five months. As the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cur off just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of a bruise from the root to the tip. I'revenla Itunawar. After being trained to pass locomo tives, bicycles, etc., , without shying, the horse must how 'be broken in to automobiles . In fact, the horse has de veloped a new prank, called "auto phobia , " making him unsafe espe cially for la dles to drive. Let him see BUns the horse, the machine coming, let him hear it, let It pass him slowly at the other side of the road the effect is likely to be the same. He shies, he rears, breaks his harness and throws the occupants, the carriage and himself into tho ditch. The horse cannot see in front of him only to the right or left. A California man thinks the safest plan Is to let him see noth ing at all. He suggests enclosing the eyes m the novel bridle blind snown here, which he recently patented. A pair of blinds are attached to the bri dle. Normally these blinds remain open. When the driver sees an ap proaching automobile he pulls on a strap whirl) extends to the driver's seat and the blinds are folded over the horse's eyes, completely obscuring his vision. The danger of the horse be coming frightened and running away is thus reduced to a minimum and the occupants assured of safety. Wiikiui lti.ail Hi-IiIbs. State supervision of all bridges erect ed Is proposed by State Fiigineer Fred erick Skene of New York. That gen tleman has drawn up a proposed law covering the matter. He would recnii.-e his approval, as well 11s the approval of the county engineer, of the plans and specifications of every bridge ex ceeding $,"H)0 in cost to be built by a town. He also recommends that eon tracts for such bridges be required to be awarded to the lowest bidder, after the work has been properly advertised, and, finally, that tho approval of the State engineer U required before pay ment for a completed bridge is ma le. There is a law in that State providing that the assistance of the State engi neer may be Invoked to suiK-riutetid such constructions, but It has been ig nored by the counties and towns, and ontracts have been irregularly award ed, with the result that there are uianv interior stru'dnres. Such a law as that proposed would be the means of correcting the evils of the existing sys tem. Trees it ml I.lttlitnliig. There is a popular belief that certain trees are less likely than others to be struck by lightning, and that during n thunderstorm it is quite safe to stand under a beech, for example, while the danger under a resinous tree or an oak is, respectively, fifteen or twenty times greater. This is disputed in a recent writing by Dr. A. W. Hothwh-k in his "Notes of the Koynl liotanical Harden of Edinburgh." The doctor says that no tree is immune, nnd the bee h is struck quite as frequently as any other species. Apparently the taller trees iu a ncighliorhood are the ones most like ly to be struck. Contrary to what Is believed by some people, the cells nre not "ruptured or torn by the formation of steam, as might happen if the heat ing by the electric current was very great. The cells collapse and shrink up, but are never torn." The root sys tem does not seem to be ever damaged by lightning. The Invnlunhle Cuckoo. The fact that there is a national danger in the disappearance of the Idrds is coming to be more and more widely recognized. A writer In Subur ban Life tells of the work of the cuckoo as an Instvt destroyer. "To watch either the black-billed or the yellow billed cuckoo flourish his long bill dex trously among the fruit trees or bushes affords much pleasure, as we know that he is doing his In-st to store away all the insects he can find, either in his own little stomach or those of his fledglings. Twelve or more caterpillars big. fat ones seem only a light lunch for him, nnd, when at least his appetite Is appeased, he will kill the destructive Insects, apparently for the fun of It, killing, tasting nnd Indifferently throw ing them away without turning on hlf porch." FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. New Canning Process Preserves Nat ural Color and Flavor. Prepartil by Jarne-i Urylen, Oregon ATiciiltiiraJ CiUewe, Oirvulliii. Certain fruits and vegetables may be preserved in such a way that they will retain indefinitely their original flavor, color and structure. This is in the nature of a discovery, made by Prof. V. F. Fernot, of the Oregon Ag ricultural college. A report of Prof, fernot's investigations is given in bulletin No. 87 of the Experiment sta tion, Corvallis, and for the benefit of the housekeeper who is wrestling with the canning problem we give the sa Ment points of the bulletin. Successful canning is a question ot Byerilizing. If a can of fruit spoils it means that it was not properly steril ized to start with, or there was a leak age in the can. Spoiling of the fruit is due to germs which were in the fruit when it was canned or entered the can later. Sterilization kills the 6rms, and the fruit may be sterilized by cooking or heating. Yv'e quote the following paragraph from the bulletin: "Micro-organisms, not unlike all other plants, possess the power of self preservation and of perpetuating their kinds; one is by means of producing spores, or seeds, which are very resist ant; while others which do not produce spores have a resisting power nearly equal to that of spores." Heating the fruit to 160 degrees foi ten minutes will kill the germs with out injuring the good qualities of the fruit, but the spores, which are "un incubated" germs will not be injured at that temperature and will become "germs" in another day, when the heat should again be applied. A few spores may escape the second heating, making third steaming necessary. How It Should Be Done. First Clean the fruit jars or cans by means of a brush, using hot water to which washing powder has been added. After washing thoroughly steam the jars to remove any dirt that may remain. Second After washing the vegeta bles or fruit place them in jars, com pletely filling them. Then add water to fill the interstices, and put on lid. Don't screw it on tight or the jar will burst when heat is applied. Third Procure a wooden steam chest, the wash boiler will do, and put some water in the bottom of it. Put slats in the bottom on which to set the jars. Fourth To get the proper tempera ture, put a thermometer in the center of an extra jar of fruit or water and steam the fruit at a temperature of 160 to 1C5 for ten minutes. Do not let temperature get above 165. Then remove jars and screw nas on tigni immediately. Repeat the steaming a second and a third time at intervals of 24 to 48 hours. The jars are then sterile. Cans may be used instead of jars. If the latter are used the vent in the top of the can will have to be soldered after the first steaming. Boiled but not boiling water should be used for filling the jars, or a syrup may be used instead of water. Un sterilized water or syrup may contain about ten million germs in a quart jar, and it is just as well to "nip them in the bud" by sterilizing the water. It is important that the fruit or vegeta bles be neither under-ripe nor over ripe. The same good jundgment used in selecting material for the table should be exercisea in the matter ef canning. It was found in the tests made ax the experiment station that a temper ature of 165 degrees was sufficient tc sterilize the fruit when treated as above, and this temperature did not impair the flavor or structure of the fruit. Where only one heating is given, as is the case at the canneries, it is necessary to heat the fruit as high as 240 degrees in order to kill both spores and germs. It should be stated that this methor. of canning was not successful with sweet peas and corn, as they have a germ normally that is not killed at a temperature of 165. This method would probably not be practicable at canneries, where fruit is sold at low prices, owing to the ad ditional expense of treating the cans three times; but for first class high priced goods the additional expense would be warranted. In the case of home canning, however, it is a more desirable method of putting up fruit and vegetables than the methods usu ally in vogue. A farmer residing near Almira, Washington, inquires concerning the milk weed pest which is infesting that locality. Professor R. Kent P.eattie, of the department of botany, answered is follows : "The perennial milk weed, which I believe you have, is very difficult to destroy. The only principal upon which you can work is to keep the tops of it closely cut down, so that the plant cannot make food, until you have starved out the roots. This, of course, is a difficult task, especially if they cover a large field. 1 would put the patches into clean cultivation, either as graden, or potato plots; th.cn it would pay you to work very hard tc exterminate these weeds, for they are difficult to kill once they take posses sion of the land."

Turning a Tlit'bt Sereir. Any one who has attempted to re move a very tight screw knows what n very difficult business it is. After straining unci twisting for a con siderable time the operator frequent ly ends by losing his temper and de stroying the bite of the screw, which remains fixed as tightly as ever. With the aid of a pair of pinchers, however, the affair is quite a simple one. Place the screwdriver In position and then catch hold of the blade with the pinch ers just above the head of the screw. Press Vm screwdriver firmly and at the same time twist round the blade with tho pinchers. The tightest screw will yield immediately to this sort of persuasion.

The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and is unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system sutlers in consequence. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight fever are frequent, while the sufferer loses energy and ambition. ! Boils, skin eruptions, and some times sores and ulcers follow when the blood becomes deeply polluted with, the malarial germs. noui a tonic and blood purifier are needed to cure Malaria, and S. S. S. is best fitted for this work. It is the most perfect of all blood puri Tiers and at the same time an invigorating, healthful tonic. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation, and removes every trace of impurity or poison, and gives to the blood the health-sustaining qualities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and per manently because it removes from the blood the germs and poisons which produce the disease, and while doing this tones up and strengthens every part of the system.
