The tank is placed in the basement or in the ground near the house and keeps the water cool in summer and proof against freezing in winter. It never leaks. It is impossible for impurity to get into it. It outlasts the building in which it is installed. It costs a little more to begin with, but there is no second cost. We have a cataloguewhich illustrates and describes the Leader system. Aak us for it.

The sizes of timbers used In this design for a hay stacker vary from 2 Inches by 4 inches to 4 inches by 6 inches. The bottom pieces marked 1 are 12 feet long and 4 inches by 5 inches, the sido uprights are 14 feet long; the cross piece 5 is 13 feet of 3-inch by 5-lnch stuff; No. 6 Is 2 Inches by 5 inches, and is bevelled on the front edge to allow the hay to slide over It easily, when being shoved on by the sweep. No. 13 is 8 feet by 2 inches by 4 inches, with the higher end 8 feet above the ground, so that when the stacker is on the ground the weight box No. 14 will be about 2 Inches from the two pulleys on the HAT STACKER. upper end of No. 13. The rope for raising the stacker should be either Inch or inch and a quarter. The teeth on the stacker can be made of 2-inch by 4-inch pine scantling 10 feet long and bevelled on the upper side to allow the hay to slide easily. The short upright teeth on the stack er head should be about 5 feet long. They are bolted to the long teeth about 2 inches from the stacker bead No. 5 and rest against the stacker head No. 6. The stacker arms No. 4 should be bolted to No. 2 with a large bolt about 12 inches from the ground. Clean Farming Profitable. Honest, now, don't you like to see a fdrm kept clean of all unnecessary trash and the fields clean of weeds? It really adds to the worth of the farm. In the eyes of the man passing by it is a better farm than the one beside it of equal soil, though weed grown and brushy. A great many folks pay no atten tion to the roadsides. Where a hedge Is the outside fence, we have seen hedge brush grow from roots that had been exposed by road grading, until travel had actually been turned to the opposite because of it. This doesn't speak very well for the cafe- fulness of the farmer. Of course there is always so much to do on a farm that some of It never gets done any one who has farmed for as short a time as one year knows this but the time required to do a little cleaning up is really shorter than a busy man believes. It is getting started at the work that comes hardest. The excuse of the man who does not have a clean looking farm Is usually that he does not care about selling, and It Is worth as much to him that way as any. He does not figure In anything for satis faction. Farmers' Mail and Express Summer Care of Horses. A great 'many horses are laid up every summer with sore shoulders, This can be remedied In a very large measure with sense and care. A good horse collar Is the main part of the harness and it should be of the very best kind and fit the animal's neck perfectly. The collar 'should be kept clean at all . times and the horse's shoulders well washed and brushed daily. Much dust and dirt arise In the fields and on the 'roads during the warm season, and this is caught and held on the moist and sweaty shoul ders and collar, there to form hard lumps and ridges. Every time the collar Is put on the horse It should be examined for those ridges and lumps. If any are found they should be carefully brushed and nibbed away. After each day's work, especially In warm weather, bathe and clean the shoulders with a mixture of warm water, salt and soda. Hot water Is one of the best known natural agents for relieving soreness What a Good Cow Will Make. The milk produced by the average Missouri cow In a year will sell for about $50 at the creamery or when made Into first-class butter. A good cow of the dairy breed will make at least $50 cash income every year. have a list of about fifty Missouri farmers who report a cash Income of $50 to $100 a cow every year, and these figures do not include the In come from the sale of calves, and pigs fed on the skim-mllk. "But," says one, "milking is a tremendous task." As a matter of fact, it takes only sixty hours, worth 15 cents an hour, to milk a cow twice a day for ten months. The Honey Crop. The annual honey crop of Maryland Is 1,000,000 pounds, which is an aver age of only 20 pounds to each hive of bees. Prof. Thomas B. Symons of the Maryland Agricultural College believes i that the average production of each ! swarm should be from 75 to 100 ' pounds- Bitter Milk. Bitter milk may originate from two sources. The first source Is dependent upon the cow, while the second is due to the growth of bacteria In the milk after it has been drawn. The differ ence between these two classes of bit ter milk is that the first has a de cidedly acid taste when freshly drawn, while the second class is sweet when taken from the cow, but the bitterness occurs after standing for a short time and increases in Intensity. Bitter milk when produced in the udder may result from improper feeding with such of our Colorado herbs as lupines, artemisia and the like, or with the raw Swedish turnips, cabbages, etc. Bitter milk may he observed during the last stage 'of lactation and has fol lowed the infection of ducts with bac teria which act on the protelds as an enzyme, converting them into peptones and other products to wilch the bit ter taste Is probably due. Field and Farm. A Useful Bird. A family of barn owls will number from thrt- to seven birds. It is diffi cult to believe what a lot of vermin and rodents a family of owls will con sume. An old owl will capture as much or more food than a dozen cats in a night. The owlets are always hungry. They will eat their weight In food every night and more if they can get it. A case Is tfn record in which a half grown owl was given all the mice it could eat. It swallowed eight one right after another. The ninth fol lowed all but the tail, which for some time hung out of the bird's mouth. The rapid digestion of birds of prey is shown by the fact that in three hours the little glutton was ready for second meal and swallowed four more mice. If this can be done by a single bird what effect must a whole family of owls have on the rodents of a community? f I I frmnrar.

In the big desert of Chill there is a considerable amount of brackish water, but no water that either human beings or stock can drink. Science, however, says the Los Angeles Time3, has come to the aid of this rainless section of the country in the form of an Ingenious desert waterworks. consisting of a series of frames con taining 20,000 square feet of glass. The panes of glass are arranged in the shape of a V. and under each pane is a shallow pan containing brackish water. The heat of the sun evaporates the water, which condenses upon the sloping glass, and, made pure by this operation, it runs down into little channels at the bottom of the V and is carried away into the main canal. Nearly a thousand gal lons of fresh water is collected daily by this means. An Expert Opinion. "Maria, is there a single good thing tbout these great wide hats the women are wearing?"

In an article on bees and ants by Gaston Bouwer In the Revue Heb domadaire the writer contends that these insects carry on conversation among themselves and that, while this Is done by means of their feelers, they are not entirely dependent upon them. "A whole colony," says Mr. Bouwer, "In an anthouse or a beehive often responds Instantaneously to a signal which may have been given without contact. It is Interesting to see an ant laborer for whom a burden is too heavy go to a fellow, make a sign or give a certain touch with his feeler, and then see the second Insect join the first in lifting or moving the ob ject."

Scours In Pisa. The following remedy for scouring in pigs is recommended by a veterin ary surgeon: Wash their feed troughs thoroughly with hot water and soap. Rinse with cold water and then wash with soda and water. Do this every morning. Their milk should be kept as cool as possible and free from con taminating influences. Discontinue their run on grass. Put a little pow dered sulphate copper In the water they drink not over two or three grains to each pig. Strawberries. There are three common methods of growing strawberries In hills, in nar row matted rows or In wide matted rows. We prefer the second method. Arrange the first strong runners by hand, spacing them properly and se curing each one In place with a little soil or a small stone. Then, when each row is full, cut off the addi tional runners that may grow. . Keep the ground hoed and cultivated until late fall. The finished row should not be wider than 15 or 18 Inches. i -i-w w at mi 1 "Pry fails i m Hill ounceM IrHHj Vmk mil. Chicago ' rdl ':.:liKL UHK.
