Automatic Waiion Brake.
A wiiKon brnke which operates au
tomatically has been recently patented
by a MlfwInHlppl man. 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. .

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.

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. S. contains a particle of mineral

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, CA,
Some Natural HUtorr,
F. 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.'

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.
