The ordinary ar rangement of attaching a foot lever be neath the driver's seat, connecting with the brake, is entirely dispensed with. The driver la not required to handle the brake In any way, the simple halt ing of the horneg only being necessary. As Hhown 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 a vertical pivoted lever, one end of which connects with a rod extending to the brake. The uprer end of this lever is connected by a strap or chain to the harness on the horse. As shown, TJIHOWS 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 8h cents per hundred weight. In general, the hauling cost Is to a large extent dependent uppn 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 9 cents per 100 pounds ; tobacco and hogs at 10 cents per 100 pounds; cotton, 16 cents, and wool, 44 cents. Prey ol the Sparrow Hawk. The sparrow hnwlt 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 fchase 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 had been molest ed for some minutes by a perfect cloud of green finches, dart among them and secure a victim. The other day I had one of these birds pointed out aa the one which, a few days earlier, had come close to the house toward dusk and caught a bat on the wing. That, however, is a very unusual meal. London News. The ' Cow aa a Machine. As an illustration of the efficiency a good cow, as a machine for the man ufacture of milk and butter from grain, the record is given of a Holstein cow at the age of 8 years, which, during one year produced milk amounting to 18, 573 pounds, or over nine tons of milk containing 620 pounda of butter. The net profit figured in maintaining such a cow is stated to be about $156 per annum, ; The GUI Strawberry. 0111 still heads 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. . Asrrlonlture in France, Agriculture gives employment to 7, 800,000 persons In France, or one-fifth of the population. For Stacking Wleat, To stuck 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. I'ritchard, of Randolph, Clay county, Mo., hus a system that he has used for a generation, and he never lost a bit of , nrliAnt tier fliimnnma in th tttllf'l ITn! haa a great reputation In his homo 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. Hut when you have the stack five or six feet high, just reverse the usual way of stacking, and do It from 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 geta 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 the stack should begin to slip, Just go I to the center and work out. and ace how quickly you stop the slipping. Mix it up a little work from the center part of the time. Try It." The En It 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, wbileUhe chick hatched 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 The Careon Apple. The original tree of the Carson apple was obtained from an apple seedling nursery in Ohio, owned by a family named Carson. Its excellent record for product Iveness, beauty and quality In northern Ohio for half a century renders It worthy It of experimental planting through out the lake region and the New En gland States, both ror the home or chard and as a commercial variety.. In commending this variety William A. Taylor, bureau of plant Industry, gives the following description: Form oblate, sometimes slightly conical ; size large; surface smooth, with occa sional russet knol8 and patches; color pale yellow, wash ed splashed and narrowly striped with bright crimson; dots rather large, conspicuous and pro truding; cavity medium, regular, deep, russeted; stem of medium length and rather slender; basin very large, deeD. abrupt, furrowed and sometimes rus- setea; calyx segments converging; eye large, closed; skin thin, tough; flesh yellowish, with satiny luster when fresh cut; texture fine, tender, Juicy; core small, broad, oval, clasping, near ly closed; seeds few, plump, medium brown ; flavor subacid, pleasant ; quali ty very good. Season November to March In northern Ohio. Tree vigorous and upright in habit, very productive. A Word for Farm Grove. 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, nnd In summer, when the thermometer Is playing about the 100 degree mark, we linger in their cooling shade with a feeling of thankfulness. Peaches and Plnma, 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. New Treatment (or Lice. Two hens, badly infected, were dip ped in a bath of boiled elder flowers, twigs and leaves, the elder concoction being mixed with some soft soap. In both Instances all the lice, were killed and the plumage In nowise damaged. ii. MO LIMIT TO ITS POWERS TOR EVIL' Contagious Blood Poison has brought more suffering, misery and humilai tion into the world than all other diseases combined ; there is hardly any limit to its powers for evil. It i3 the blackest and vilest of all disorders. wrecking the lives of those unfortunate enough to contract it and often being transmitted to innocent offspring, a blighting legacy of suffering and shame. So highly contagious 13 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 ia 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 ia severe cases the linger nans drop oil, the bones become diseased, the nervous system is shat 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 Poi son. It is made of a combination of healing blood-purifying roots, herbs, and barks, the best ia Nature's great laboratory of forest and field. We offer a reward of $1,000 for proof that S. S.

A. Whitney, of Meeteetsee, Wyo., a rich rancher, is greatly Interested in all charities that help children. In a recent visit to New York he told a story about a little slum urchin whom be had sent on a month's vacation' into the country. "The lad was so ignorant," he said, "that he thought we got mush from mushrooms and milk from the milk weed. One morning a woman pointed to a horse in a field and said: " 'Look at the horse, Jimmy.' '"That's a cow,' the boy contra dieted. " 'No,' said the lady, 'It's a horse.' - " ' 'Taln't. It's a cow,' said the boy. 'Horses has wagons to 'em." New York Tribune. Fooling a Wolf. A boy 12 years old, the son of a pioneer in Montana, observed a wolf sneaking about one day last January. He took a sheep skin and spread It over a low bush in such a way that it resembled the live animal, and after a time the wolf made a dash for it 1 He detected the fraud at once, and Instead of galloping away with the pelt, which would have made a good dinner for him, he dropped It and sneaked off with his tall between his legs. He realized that be had been made the victim of a Joke, and he felt the same as a boy who had been April fooled. ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

The animal trainer having been taker suddenly ill, his wife reported for duty ia his stead. "Have you ever had any experience ira this line?" asked the owner of the circus and menagerie, with some doubt. "Not just exactly in this line," she said, "but my husband manages the beasts ail right, doesn't he?" "He certainly does." "Well, you ought to see how easy I manage hfro." Convinced Him.
