Whenever a sore refuses to teal It is because the blood la not pure and
healthy,, aa it should be, but ia Infected with poisonous germs or some old
blood taint 'which haa corrupted and polluted the circulation. Those most
usually afflicted with old sorca are persona who have reached 6r passed mid

begun to decline, and the poisonoua genua which have accumulated because
of a sluggish and Inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint

Capital Punishment.
Capital punishment Is still practised
In many countries, though of late years,
especially In the United States, it has
been made as humane as possible. That
creation of the French Revolution, the
guillotine, Is still used by some coun
tries, and the old executioner's ax deals
out Justice In Brunswick.
The most humane method of execu
tion, the electric chair, Is used only
In the United States. Spain employs
the garrote, or iron collar, which Is
tightened until the victim strangles to
death; and In Prussia the beads of
prisoners are struck off with the sword.
The guillotine Is used in Bavaria and
Belgium ; and Russia destroys her
criminals by shooting, banging, and
with the executioner's sword. The gal
lows Is the official means of administer
lng death In Great Britain; Austria
has adopted the same means ; but Chi
nese criminals are killed by the sword.

be the most appropriate?"
' "Well," replied his practical chum,
"If I were you I should serenade her
with a phonograph."
"What? A phonograph? Why, a
phonograph Is nothing like as romantic
as a guitar."
"Yes, old chap, but you can start a
phonograph and then run to the tall

The American Cow.
There are nearly 25.000.000 dairv
cows In the United States, nud enough
other cattle to make a total of over
00,000.000 head, including bulls, oxen,
young stock and . "flocks and herds
which range to the valley free," and
all condemned to slaughter. There are
less than a million thoroughbred cat
tle In the country and more than 45,
000,000 scrubs. The rest are half or
higher grades. About 20,000,000 calves
are born annually. The average value
of a cow ls $22. In Ithode Island, a
dairying State, the average Is $39.
The cows of the United 8tnt38 yield
about 9,000,000,000 gallons of milk n
year (watered and unwatered); the
butter product ls nearly 2,000,000,000
pounds (all grades), and the product
of cheese over 300,000,000 pounds. Our
oheese industry Is making enormous
strides. In a short time the output
will be 1,000,000,000 pounds. There ls
one Item, a by-product, which ls never
alluded to when Mistress Cow or Sis

MERBY GO-BOUND WINDMILL.
A windmill can be constructed In
the form af a "merry-go-round," which
has the fans revolving about a central
axis. On the same axis a senil-clrculnr
hood Is fixed so that It will expose half
the fans and shield the other half.
This revolving hood ls easily guided by
a large vane. Small and medium sized
mills can be constructed In this way.
The smaller diagram shows the ground
plan of a "merry-go-round" on a slight

20 to 25 feet Each of the four posts
carries a gate, which may be opened
or closed to admit or shut out the wind.

Burning; Off the Strawberry Bed.
If the ground Is cold the strawberry
bed may be burned over, which will
clean the surface. This need not be
done until later, if preferred, or just
before the winter mulch Is removed.
After the plants have made the'.r
growth a mulch of clean straw or salt
hay will not only assist to promote
their growth, but will protect against
drought and also aid in keeping the
fruit clean. It Is not necessary to cul
tivate strawberries In early spring, as
cultivation disturbs the surface roots,
but the bed should be cleaned,, how
ever, by Are or raking.
A Good Whitewash.
A good wash for roofs' end buildings
Is as follows: Slake lime In a close
box, to prevent the escape of steam,
and when slaked pass It through a
sieve. To every six quarts of this lime
add one quart of rock , salt and one
gallon of water. After this, boll and
skim clean. To every Ave gallons of
this add, by slow degrees, three-quarters
of a pound of potash and four
quarts of fine sand. Coloring matter
may fee added if desired. Apply with
a paint or whitewash brush.
Farm Work la Winter.
There are many duties on the farm
that are performed only during certain
seasons, but an amount of preliminary
work can be done In winter which will
save time In the spring. Not a teed
should be planted that has not been ex
amined, and an overhauling of the
tools should not be overlooked. Get
ready for spring In advance, so aa to
prepare for hurry during the planting
season. The manure heap should also
receive attention, as the condition of
the manure will largely Influence the
start of the plants In the spring.
Developing a Xew Potato.
During the past season remarkable
progress has btfu made In the culti
vation of a new species of potato in
the department of Vleiine, in France.
It originated In Uruguay, and la called
the Solnnuui Cotnmersonl. Auild its
new environment In France, and by
dint of careful cultivation and selec
tion. It has developed several forms
which promise to become fixed, and to
possess much vnlue as additions to the
food resources of Europe. Among these
forms, all springing from one parent
species, there are a yellow variety, a
white variety, a red variety and a va
riety not specially characterized by
color, all of which possess distinctive
shapes and qualities. A fact that par
ticularly Interests botanists and culti
vators ls that these varieties have ev
idently not yet reached their final set
tled forms, and the experiments of
M, Labergerle In Vlenne are closely
watched because It is thought that they
will throw light upon the unsettled
question of the general origin of the
potato.
Horses That Gnaw.
Some horses have a very ugly and
annoying habit of gnawing thelrt feed
boxes, mangers, and In fact every
piece of wood In reach of them, when
tied In the stable, to n rack, fence or
gate. A very simple and effectual pre
ventive Is coal oil. Apply it with o
brush or rag, so as to saturate the
wood, and they will not touch it as
long as the smell or taste of the oil
remains. Coal oil Is quite offensive
to all kinds of animals. Wheti oiling
harness add a little kerosene to the
harness oil and It will prevent rats
and mice or anything else from gnaw-

Blackberries and Itaspberrles.
Considering the neglect given black
berry and raspberry canes In late sum
mer, they pay well In comparison with
other crops. If fruit growers will cul
tivate the canes, clean the ground well
of weeds and grass as soon as the ber
ry harvest Ls over, and apply fertilizer
on the land, the effect of the good treat
ment will be apparent the following
year. Weeds and grass rob the canes,
and when It is considered that with
the canes' producing crops for several
years in succession, and weeds and
grass taking possession between the
rows, the land becomes exhausted, the
crops fall off and the canes die out
Points In Plowing;.
There may be disadvantages In fall
plowing, as It Is believed by some that
the plowing of the land in the fall per
mits of the loss of soluble plant food
In winter by leaching, but when the
land Is plowed late In the year, and
then cross-plowed early In the spring,
there Is brought to the surface the
larvae of Insects, which perish on ex
posure to cold at the surface. To pre
vent leaching of the soil after plowing,
the work should be done In the fall
and the land seeded to rye, or the land
may be plowed In early spring.
Wetchlaa- the Market.
The farmer who does not watch the
market reports and prices will be at
a disadvantage. If an article was
high last year It may Induce many to
grow large crops of It this year. If an
article Is low It Is possible that many
will not make any attempt to grow
anything with profit on that line. An
experienced farmer states that he al
ways plants the crops that others will
not grow, for then It Is sure to be be
low the demand and bring a good
price. His method Is worthy of consid
eration by others.
