Automatic Wagon Drake.
A wagon brake which operates au
tomatic-ally has been recently patented
by a Mississippi man. The ordinary ar
rangement of attaching a foot lever tie-
neath the driver's seat, connecting with
the brake, Is entirely dispensed with.
The driver Is not required to handle
the brake in any way, the simple halt
ing of the horses only being necessary.
As shown In the illustration, the brake
is pivoted so as to come In contact
with the rim of the rear wheel. On
the extreme outer end of the shafts is
vertical pivoted lever, one end of
which connects with a rod extending
to the brake. The upper end of this
lever Is connected by a strap or chain
to the harness on the horse. As shown,

For Stacking- Wheat.
To stack wheat before threshing so
that It will be dry when that time
comes. Is the desire of every farmer
who raises that cereal. Mr. C. T.
Pritchard, of Randolph, Clay county,
Mo., has a system that he has used for
a generation, and be never lost a bit of
wheat by dampness in the stack. He
has a great reputation In his home for
this class of work, and he spends a
large part of his time In showing oth
ers how to do It. He gives a descrip
tion of his method as follows:
"To stack wheat or oats so stack
will not take water. Commence the
stack or rick any way you wish. But
when you have the stack five or six
feet high, just reverse the usual way
of stacking, and do It fwm the center
to the outer edge, Instead of from the
outer edge to the center. When you
begin at the center to stack out, lay
two or three bundles so as to keep the
center highest, with a good slant to
ward the outer edge. If at any time
the outer edge gets too high, stop be
fore you get there, and go back to the
center and commence again. Be sure to
keep the center highest, with a good
slant to the outside.
"This way Is Just about the same as
one shock on top of the Other, only
more slant to the bundles.
'There Is no slip or slide. It Is fast
and easy, and sure keeps the stack dry.
If you are stacking the usual way, and
ttie stack should begin to slip, Just go
J to the center and work out. nnrl bap
how quickly you stop the slipping. Mix
It up a little work from the center
part of the time. Try It,"
THBOWS A BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY.
the top of this lever is normally In
advance of the lever end. Obviously
a pulling pressure exerted by a back
ward movement of the horses In stop
ping will force the brake against the
rear wheel. The driver in stopping his
horses In this way automatically
throws on the brake.
Coat of Hauling- Crops.
The bureau of statistics recently sent
out a special Inquiry circular to ascer
tain the cost of hauling farm crops to
shipping points, and the compiled re
sults representing replies from nearly
2,000 counties In different parts of the
United States indicate that the quan
tity of farm produce annually hauled
amounts to '49,000,000 tons. The cost
of hauling the same is estimated at ap
proximately $85,000,000, which Is an
average of 8 cents per hundred
weight
In general, the hauling cost Is to a
large extent dependent upon the value
of the articles hauled, the more valu
able products taken to market oftener
and In smaller loads, and therefore at
a greater cost Corn, wheat hay and
potatoes are hauled at from 7 to 0
cents per 100 pounds ; tobacco and hogs
at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, 16
cents, and wool, 44 cents.
Prey of the Sparrow Hawk.
The sparrow hawk almost Invariably
catches a flying bird for its meal, even
striking down birds as large as the
wood pigeon, though usually going no
higher than a black bird. It does not
exactly swoop like the larger hawks,
yet It must have conditions of chase
of Its own choosing. That Is why the
small birds usually mob It with Impu
nity when they are numerous enough
to bewilder It Once, however, I saw
a sparrow hawk that bad been molest
ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud
of green finches, dart among them and
secure a victim.
The other day I bad one of these
birds pointed out as the one which, a
few days earlier, bad come close to
the bouse toward dusk and .caught a
bat on the wing. That however, Is a
very unusual meal. London Newt.
The Cow aa a Machine.
As an Illustration of the efficients of
a good cow, as a machine for the man
ufacture or mui ana Duuer rrom grain,
the record Is given of a Hoi stein cow
at the age of 3 years, which, during one
year produced milk amounting to 18,
1573 rounds, or over nine tons of milk
containing 620 pounds of butter. The
net profit figured In maintaining such
a cow Is stated to be about $156 per
annum.
The Gill Strawberry.
Gill still beads the list as a first
early strawberry of rare merit at the
Ohio experiment station. Its small
stocky plants fairly bubble over with
business and berries. The berries run
small at the close of the season, but not
until after It has produced an aston
ishingly heavy burden of fruit of fair
size and mild, pleasant good, though
not high, flavor.

The Ess; and the Chick.
That Immutable law of physics that
matter cannot be annihilated, or, vice
versa, created out of nothing, appears
to have some doubters even In this day
of general education. The old query,
which weighs the most, the egg or the
chicken that Is hatched from the egg, Is
a very good example of this lack of
faith. To settle the matter for the
hundredth time, experiments were re
cently undertaken at one of the agri
cultural stations engaged In poultry
studies. It was found that a fertile
egg during the process of Incubation
lost a little over 20 per cent In weight,
while the chick hntched from such an
egg weighed 30 per cent less than the
egg before Incubation. A sterile egg
receiving similar treatment lost not
quite 16 per cent In weight

transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame.
So highly contagious is the trouble that innocent persons may contract it
by using the same table ware, toilet articles or clothing of one in whose
blood the treacherous virus has taken root. Not only is it a powerful poison
but a very deceptive one. Only those who have learned by bitter experience
know by the little sore or ulcer, which, usually makes its appearance first, of
the suffering which is to follow. It comes in the form of ulcerated mouth
and throat, unsightly copper colored spots, swollen glands ia the groin,
falling hair, offensive sores and ulcers on the body, and in severe cases the
finger nails drop off, the bones become diseased, the nervous system isshat
tered and the sufferer becomes an object of pity to his fellow man. Especi
ally is the treacherous nature of Contagious Blood Poison, shown when the
infected person endeavors to combat the poison with mercury and potash.
These minerals will drive away all outward symptoms of the troubles for
a while, and the victim is deceived into the belief that he is cured. When,
however, the treatment is left off he finds that the poison has only been driven
deeper into the blood and the disease reappears, and usually in worse form
because these strong minerals have not only failed to remove the virus from
the blood but have weakened the entire system because of their destructive
action. S. S. S. is she only real and certain cure for Contagious Blood Pol
son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs
and barks, the best in Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. We
offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that S. S. S. contains a particle of mineral
in any iorm. a. a. s. goes down to the
ery bottom of the trouble and by cleansing
the blood of every particle of the virus and
adding rich, healthful qualities to this vital
fluid, forever cures this powerful disorder.
So thoroughly does S. S. S. cleanse the
circulation that no signs of the disease are

A Word for Farm .Groves.
The uses of farm groves are numer
ous. They add to the beauty of the
landscape by breaking the monotony of
the prairie, furnishing wood for vari
ous uses and for fuel, so we need not
be dependent upon the coal trust They
shelter our premises from the cold
northern blasts during winter, and In
summer, when the thermometer Is
playing about the 100 degree mark, we
linger in their cooling shade with a
feeling of thankfulness:
Feaehee and Pleas,
The peach will not thrive on low
ground, but prefers an elevated situa
tion always ; plums prefer a stiff, damp
soil to a light one. Therefore, plum
stocks are often used for an orchard
of peaches where the latter are to be
planted In low ground.
