as a tonic medicine.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis

Ground Wire Fences.
In the summer season many farmers
susstaln considerable loss of live stock
from lightning striking wire fences and
killing animals standing near. This loss
can be avoided if the fence Is grounded
that is, a connection made between
the wires and the damp soil beneath.
This can be done by stapling 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 ln
tead of being deflected. .In to 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 field. The barbs on
wires attract the lightning, which has
been known to travel several miles on
a fence before 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 grdund
a 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 has 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, for the next storm that comes -ip
may be as disastrous to you as It hns
been to some of your neighbors. Avoid
it by grounding your wire fences in
time. Goodall's Farmer.

a plan for the destruction, of the gypsy

would be a fine bit of strairgy, Un

the moths, the scientists bun. enlistel
t:.e mIC of an army of moth parasites,
'ittle insects that tasten themselves on
tne ruolhs, feed upon and finally de
stroy them. Eight hundred thousand
of these parasites have been secured,
and at the right moment will be set
upon the nemy. A singular fact la thnt
the moths do not recognize the para
sites as enemies, but seem to find their
presence grateful. They give of their
llf to support the parasites, and ul
timately, fall a victim to their own
generosity. How similar this relation
ship to that which too often obtain.
among human beings 1 So striking
la that similarity and many unpleas
ant things does It recall that we almost
feel pity for the destructive motha and
resentment against the ungrateful para
sites whose services have been Invoked.
But a look at the devastation wrought
by the moths gives poise and resolution,
and we welcome the scientists' strategy
and wish for it success.
But what of tne parasites? What
mischief, If any, will they work in the
affairs 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.

A Horse's Toenail. -
Few persons realize that a horse's
hoof Is really the same thing as the toe
nails 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 un
shod horses than in those wearing
shoes, and It grows faster In horses
which are well groomed and well fed.
Uut on an average, says the New Tork
Si'n, the horn grows about a third of
an Inch a monih.
Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
hoofs. The toe of the hoof being the
longest part, it takes longer for the horn
to row down there than at the heel.
For Instance, the toe will grow entire
ly down In from eleven to thirteen
mouths, while the heel will grow down
In -from three to five months.
A the new horn grows out any
cracks or defects In the old gradually
work down to where they can be cut
off Just as with human finger nails you
can watch the progress of a bruise
from the root to the tip.
Prevent Runaway.
After being trained to pass locomo
tives, bicycles, etc., without shying,
the horse must now 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
dies to drive.
Let him see
, bunds the hobss. the machlie
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 the 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 in the novel bridle blind shown
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 which extends to the driver's
seat and the blinds are folded over tha
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. "
Wagon Road Brldarea.
State supervision of all bridges erect
ed is proposed by 'State Engineer Fred
erick Skene of New York. That gen
tleman has drawn up a proposed law
covering the matter. He would require
his approval, as well as the approval
of the county engineer, of the plans
and specifications of every. bridge ex
ceeding $500 in cost to be built by a
town. He also recommends that con
tracts for such bridges be required to
be awarded to the lowest bidder, after
the work has been properly advertised,
and, finally, that the approval of the
State engineer be required before pay
ment for a completed bridge Is made.
There is a law In that State providing
that the assistance of the State engi
neer may be Invoked to superintend
such constructions, but It has been Ig
nored by the counties and towns, and
contracts have been Irregularly award
ed, with the result that there are many
Inferior structures. Such a law as
that proposed would be the means of
correcting the evils of the existing sys
tem. Tree and ishtnlng.
There Is a popular belief that certain
trees are less likely than others to be
struck by lightning, and that during
a 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. Bothwick in his
"Notes of the Royal Botanical Garden
of Edinburgh." The doctor "says that
no tree Is immune, and the beech is
struck quite as frequently as any other
species. Apparently the taller trees lu
a neighborhood are 'the ones most like
ly to be struck. Contrary to what is
believed by some people, the cells are
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 Invaluable Cuckoo.
The fact that there Is a national
danger In the disappearance of the
birds is coming to be . more and more
widely recognized. A writer In Subur
ban Life tells of the work of the cuckoo
as. an Insect 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 best to store away all
the Insects he can find, either ia bis
own little stomach or those of his
fledglings. Twelve or more caterpillars
big, fat ones seem only a light lunch
for him, and, when at least his appetite
Is appeased, he will kill the destructive
Insects, apparently for the fmx of It

lag them away without turning on hlf

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
New Canning Process Preserves Nat
ural Color and Flavor.
Prepared by James Dryden. Oregon Agricultural
College. Corvallis.
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. F. F. Pernot, of the Oregon Ag
ricultural college. A report of Prof.
Pernot's investigations is given in
Culletin 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 of
verilizing. 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
germs, and the fruit may be sterilized
by cooking or heating. We 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
qual 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 165 for ten minutes. Do not let
temperature get above 165. Then
remove jars and screw lids on tight
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
tars. 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 exercised in the matter of
.canning.
- It was found in the tests made at
the experiment station that a - temper
ature of 165 degrees was sufficient to
sterilize the frait 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 ai
high as 240 degrees in order to kill
both spores and germs.
It should be stated that this method
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 bt
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 Beattie,
of the department of botany, answered
as 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. I would put the
patches into clean cultivation, either
as graden, or potato plots; then it
would pay you to work very hard to
exterminate these weeds, for they are
difficult to kill once they take posses
sion of the land." From the Wash

Turning; a Tight Screw.
Any one who has attempted to re
move a very tight screw knows what
a very difficult business it is. After
straining and twisting for a con
siderable time the operator frequent
ly ends by losing his temper and de

remains fixed as tightly as ever. With
the aid of a pair of pinchers, however,
tbe affair Is quite a simple oue. Place
the screwdriver In position and then
catch hold of the blade with the pinch
ers Just above the head of the screw.
Press the screwdriver firmly and at
the same time twist round the blade
with the pinchers. The tightest screw

Malaria is due to impurities in the blood which destroy the rich,
healthful qualities of the circulation, and reduce it to a weak, watery fluid.
The body is then deprived of its necessary nourishment and strength, and ia
unable to resist the countless disorders that assail it, and the general system
suffers 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. Both 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 purifiers 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. Book with information about Malaria and any medical
advice furnished free to all who write.
