The druggists have already been sup plied with the Peruna almanac for 1909. In addition to the regular as tronomical matter usually furnished in almanacs, the articles on astrology are very attractive to most people. The mental characteristics of each sign are given with faithful accuracy. A list of lucky and unlucky days will be fur nished to those who have our almanacs, free of charge.

The bdd looking air engine is not ft flying machine, it is a windmill, and when properly constructed, has been known to develop from 2 to 3 horse power, with a C foot wheel. A small er wheel, say with 2 foot blades, will easily run a churn, small grinder, corn sheller, wood saw, etc The height of the frame work, size of timbers, eetc, will depend on the location, and size of mill. It should have a clear space with no buildings, or nearby trees to obstruct the wind. The structure mny set in any position, as it will run with the wind in any direction. The two blades of the vtheel are half circles, as shown, am. may be made of any wood handy, they are set In the wood pieces that are bolted around the iron shaft, and braced and held In place by the iron rods, A. A. and the strops, B. E. ; the blades are set at an angle of 45 degrees from the slajt, as shown in the right hand flguro a the illus tration. Small wheels may be built of three-quarter inch lumber, and larger wheels, of corresponding thickness. The frame work should be 4x4 inch lumber, for a small wheel, and larger stuff used for larger wheels. 1 The four guy wires shown at C. C C. serve to hold the frame upright, and It is not necessary to set the two outer posts over 2 or 3 feet in the ground. The iron shaft will usually be found in almost any old scrap pile, and should uave several .holes through it for bolting the two wood timbers in place, the shaft is shown at B. and the pump or working rod at D. This rod may of course be connected to any machine. If the two gear wheels from an old mowing machine, be con nected at point B you will then have a back geared mill, that will run with much less wind, but will of course not do the work quite so fast; however, it Is to be preferred to the direct stroke, that you would have without the gear lug, 1 and you will do away with the thumping, and pounding. If neces sary, in building a large wheel, two straight trees could be used for the two outer posts of frame work. The boxing, In the uprights, in which the iron shaft revolves, should be kept well lubricated. J. E. Bridgman, in Tarin and Home. Lire Stock and Fertility. As a rule, the best farming is done where some form of live stock grow ing and feeding is being practiced ; however, it Is not correct to say that fertility can not be maintained without live stock. The matter of maintaining soil fertility by the use of legume crops, aided by mineral fertilizers used .to in crease the growth of these crops, is possible, although as a general propo sition it is not profitable. It is not the fertility alone which live stock brings to the farm, but the organic matter which their presence brings to the soil. In addition to the humus and plant food contained In stable manure there are present cer tain bacteria that assist in the work of making the plant food contained In the manure available to the growing plants; After completing their work of mak ing the plant food in the manure avail able to the plants, they seize and con tinue their work of nitrification as long as conditions are favorable. j This explains why a small applica tion of manure to certain soils will produce results far beyond the actual fertilizing value of the manure that Is used. Another point In favor of live stock growing and feeding Is the fact tli at all rational plans of maintaining soil fertility dapend upon growing crops In the rotation that are adapted for animal feeding. There are many live stock growers and feeders who are not keeping the productive qualities of their soils with ali of the manure they are making, as well as the crop growers. By. proper cultivation and care a small amount of manure goes a long ways. Agricultural Epitomlst California Eics. It Is said that Petaluina County, Cal., produced 10,000,000 dozen eggs last year. This is the greatest egg-producing country in the United States, If not in the world. One man near Petaluina has 15,000 laying hens, another 10,000, mother 7,000., One man with only 1,500 hem made a net profit of $2,150. Crop Rotation.. In order that we may maintain the Bupply of humus and thus preserve the fertility of the soil, It is essential that on all tillable lands that we adopt a rotation of crops. A much larger pro portion of our laud should be in perma nent pasture. It is easy for a farmer to adopt a rotation on the portion of his laud that Is under tillage, but the adoption of a rotation necessarily in volves some branch of animal feeding in order to utilize the clovers and grasses which form so essential a part of the rotation. Growing and feeding live stock will avail but little unless the manure Is carefully saved, both liq uids and solids, and applied regularly. Where a general line of live stock farming Is being followed there need be but little fear of a decline in the productive capacity of the farm. There are certain soils that may be deficient In potash or phosphoric acid and on such soils it will pay large returns to use mineral fertilizers in connection with the manure that is made on the farm. Do not use commercial fertiliz ers unless you have reason to. believe that your soil is deficient in the ele ments that you are buying. It Is a waste of money to supply elements that are not needed by the soil. Agricultur al Epltomist. - Plenty of Winter Work. "There is no res for the wicked," says the book, neither is there rest for the farmer or any other man who loves his work and is on the Job all the time. There are so many things which the average farmer may do In the winter which are both profitable and pleasant that any farmer, whether owner or ten ant, may find occupation every day he may wish through the winter. Feed ing cattle and hogs Is very pleasant and nearly alwf.ys profitable, not only directly, but ludlrectly. Every load of manure hauled out brings large re turns. The winter gives to man an ex cellent chance also to be in the shop and repair farm machinery, build coops and houses for the chicks. See that the pig houses are In good shape for the coming litters and fix up the box stalls for the early cows or mare, and a hundred other things may. be done. Another very important thing is to have plenty of good posts made to use on the farm the coming year. How often do we see farmers stop right in the busy season to make posts and re pair fences, let alone building new: There is no earthly excuse except lazi ness for a man hugging the hot stove all winter. " - Horse Stable Stalls. The diagram shows the best plan for laying out stalls of horse stable, as all are fed from the center passage, and stables cleaned from the rear. This plan will accommodate 14 horses, and two ' spare stalls for extras, or for stairway and passage. A stable 18x32 feet will hold six horses with one row and feed passage In front. Stalls should be 8 feet long and 5 feet wide en PLAN FOB STALLS. for farm horses. Lay down the ce. ment floor and put blocks 2 Inches deep where you want posts, when ce ment is soft and thin, and then dig them out for to receive the foot of all posts. It will not be necessary to floor the feed passuge. Ceiling should be 8 feet high. . Keeitna Et ,n Winter, From the many methods advocated for keeping eggs the water glass test Is undoubtedly the most satisfactory one part water glass added to nine parts soft water, previously boiled and cooled. Place In a clean jar and add eggs that you are confident are strictly fresh and not chlpiied or cracked. I could tell you a whole chapter about one spoiled egg in a Jar con taining thirty dozen good eggs. Don't crowd them and leave at least three inches of liquid at the top of the vessel. We have found, to pack only a lim ited number, that if placed in oats, small end down,, a layer of oats and a layer of eggs, , and when the box is full a lid placed on and the box turned every day, the eggs keep well. They are not fresh eggs, of course, nor should tbey be sold as such. Suspicions. "A . suspicious question," said De Lancey Nicoll, the eminent New York lawyer, discussing a celebrated case. "In fact, one of those suspicious ques tions which carry their own conviction with them. It is just such a question as a gilded youth asked the head wafter in a Broadway restaurant the other morning. . " 'Was Blank here last night?' he began. " Yes, sir,' the waiter answered. "'And, said the youth, nervously. was I with him?"' Mothers will find Mrs. Wlnslow Soothlno Eyrup the b st remedy to use lor thell children during the teething period. IIU Confusion, "Are you working to-day?" asked a rlsitor of the poet. "That is, are you going to work?" for It was quite evi dent that he was not working at that moment. The poet ran bis fingers distractedly through his hair. "I have so many ideas," he sighed. "So many, many ideas; but they are all so confused that I really haven't worked for a year or two." ' .
