WindmiIIS.

The windmill is a fixture now quite
common on many farms throughout the
country. 1t has become necessary i'm
plement for raising water where stock il
kept. In a general way it may be said
that there are two kinds of windmills
pivotal and stationary. Pivotal mills are
those in which the entire frame of the
wood is turned about strong pivot
Stationary mills are those in which the
top of the mill only revolves, and is sup
ported upon a framework of masonry.
A foreign exchange gives the follow
ing information regarding the construc-
ton of windmills. 1t says that the spot
selected for the establishment of wind
mill should be far separated from trees,
mountains, houses and any elevated OBJ
ject capable of offering resistance to the
wind. One may select spot by placing
little mill at the top of a pole, and al
lowing it to revolve an hour after the
rising and two hours after the setting of
the sun. If the motion is constantly
regular, it is sign that the wind blows
favorably in one direction. If, on the
contrary, the mill turns irregularly and
by shocks, if it turns little to the right
or to the left, it is proof that the wind
passes obliquely where it is found, and
therefore the place is not fit for estab-
fishing windmill.
The. winds of the north, northeast,
south and southeast are the most ad-
vantageous for a windmill, because they
blow both day and night, while the 9th
ers only blow in the night, in time of
tempest or rain. The operation of mill
ing is the same in windmill as in
waterfall; but the care of a windmill
should not be intrusted to any but those
who have had'experience in furling and
unfurling the sails at the proper time.
On the approach of a shower. the sails
should be taken in and the mill allowed
to stand idle until the storm is over.
Windmiils are now constructed in
which the ordinary sails are replaced by
thin boards, which by the aid of pc
culiar continuance can be made to slip
over each other without stopping the
mill With such mill there is no fear
of being surprised by the wind, because
in less than q minute the boards can be
placed in mass like beam, against
which the wind has no special force.
if the mechanism should
be found disarrauged when the storm
comes the wheel would be shattered

About one-third of the farming lane
in Illinois is rented, either for money OF

--Fish-farming has become popular
with the farmers of Georgia, and there
are already 1850 ponds in that State
which have been stocked with German
carp. ~
1t is estimated that 63 per cent Of
the people of this country are farmers,
The percentage used to be about 70, but
the increase in manufacturing has caused
the decrease.

-''Farmer" asks why his clover
should have sfrozen out'' last winter,
Probably because he pastured his field
until it was grazed to the bare ground,
leaving no aftermath to act as a protec-
ton to the roots.-N. Y. Herald.
The lesson of last years dry season
was that land should be drained and
cultivated deep. The lesson of this years.
wet weather is that land should be
drained and the soil made deep so as to
carry away the water. Draining will
double the value of nearly every acre of
land in Illinois.-JoursaI Of Commerce.
Earthquakes and pudding dishes
that have been used for long time need
a thorough cleaning occasionally. To
do this put them in kettle of water in
which you have put a spoonful of wood
ashes to one quart of water. Let them
boil in this for an hour, and if any grease
has been absorbed through cracks in
the glazing it will be removed, and
piecrust baked on a plate thus cleaned
will be sweet and not unwholesome.-
N. Y. Post.
1t is mistake to suppose that tile
drain two and a half or three feet deep
will drain hollow ten or twenty feet
distant. Perhaps it may slowly, but in
very wet season, as this has been thus
far, wheat and clover will kill out at
such distance from q drain. If the
ditch is made four feet deep it will drain
a wider surface; but better way is to
make side drain to the places where
water is known to stand in wet time.

The following are the aggregate
received for various kinds of
stock sold by Kentucky breeders during
the past six months, all the sales being
public autions: 2O8 running horses,
1925, 665; 694 trotting horses, S17O,6O6;
1876 Short Horn cattle, $141, 674; total,
S43S, O44. The private sales, it is said,
swell the aggregate to 1925, 900. These
figures show the leading position occu-
pied by Kentucky as stock breeding
State, and speak volumes for the famous
bluegrass region. When it is consid-
cred that man can mount horse and
ride through this famous region in one

Why Beef il Dear.

Inc reasons given for the current hiot
Peace OF beef are many. The winter q,
ttooo-oi was exceptionally severe and
neaVy losses of stock were suffered On
sne great cattle ranges of the West. The
drought OF the ensuing summer acted
not less unfavorably upon the smaller
nerds OF the East. The hay cron was

age Jailed over many States: so tina,
farmers were forced to kill their vouno
stock. In this way, we are told. tbe
Deef supply was diminished both in
quantity and quality leaving the demand
t0r good beef far in advance of the sun.
Py. Inc expectation of nearly 200. OfN
cattie contributed still further to lesson
tne beef supply for home market. Adj
vantage was taken of the situation bv
speculative dealers and combinations
controlling millions of capital, and by To-
cal rings of butchers and marketmen. and
tne price of beef was thereby raised far
aoove what it would have been in the
ordinary course of trade.
:, All these conditions no doubt had
tnelr influence; yet underlying them all
was one OF vastly greater scope and DO
tency. Notwithstanding the enormous
advance made in cattle raising during
the past twenty years or so, the in.
creased supply, even in favorable sea-
sons, has not been at all commensurate
WIN the increase in the demand for
peer. The ratio of increase in cattle is
less than that in population, so that even
with no change in dietetic habits the
demand for beef would tend steadily to
0utrun the supply. But our appetite for
oeef increases much more rapidly than
our numbers. The marketman makes
ols daily rounds with fresh beef in hum
dreds OF communities where salt pork
was eaten almost exclusively twenty
hve years ago; and generally through
out the country beef has largely dis
placed pork on the tables of farmers,
mechanics and well-to-do people. This
partly because of the universal improve
ment IN the scale of popular living due
10 general prosperity, but more, per-
maps, to the influence of an active school
OF would-be health reformers who have
persistently decried pork as an article
OF food and created widespread and
unreasonable prejudice against it.
Leaving out of consideration any pos
sible increase in the demand for beef
for expectation, we may reasonably an
ticipate that the home demand for beef
will continue to increase as fast, if not
faster, than the population does; and
there can be no marked decline from
the present excessive prices until the
supply OF beef cattle is brought up to
the level of the popular requirement.
1t is not the prime cost of beef cattle in
the field or their necessary cost at the
shambles, after being driven or carried
half across the continent, that chiefly
determines the price of the meat to the
consumer, but the single fact that the
supply is relatively so meager that cat

in kentucky the Legislature has
expressly provided that no religious test
shall be applied to the witness in any
civil action, but there is no statute gov
erning the question in criminal cases. In
a recent murder trial the objection was
raised to one of the witnesses that he
was an atheist, and therefore that his
evidence was not admissible. The
question went to the Court of Appeals,
which decided that in criminal as well
as civil cases no inquiry can be made
into the religious belief of any witness.

Death to Flies in One.haIf Hour.

Heretofore one of the greatest of our
trials in summer has been in the keep
ing of our dining room and kitchen free
from flies. 1t is a rule with us that nets
shall be in all opened windows and that
the net doors must be kept closed, and
there is no deviation from this. But
careful as we might be the pests would
get in. We have brushed until shout
ders and arm were lame and hands bis
tered; have used various fy-catchers,
sticky fly paper and poison fly paper,
discarding the latter several times on
account of its poisonous properties and
disgusting effects, but returning to it be-
cause we did not know what else to do
We will say that our house is very
sunny, light and airy-we have no
blinds, and can not darken the rooms
and so keep the flies out. A short time
ago we became alive to the necessity of
throwing away once for all the fly pa
per, having been convinced that it was
impregnated with a solution of arsenic.
Knowing the efficacy of Persian insect
neutrality-suspicious. roseum or cinerse-
folium-in destroying insect life, we
closed the windows aud doors of the
dining-room, sprinkled q large handful
of this powder upon few live Goals and
retired to await results. The smoke was
quite dense for two hours, yet at the
end of that time not one fly was dead,
they were somewhat weak in the legs,
but soon revived.
After this failure we next purchased
a small insect powder bellows for one
dollar, Shalf filled the receptacle with
powder and blew it all around the room.
making a. fine dust. Soon buzzing
was heard, as when a fly is caught in a
spiders web, only louder, and<in one
half hour every fly in the room was
dead. tThe fly season is now robbed of
its terrors for US, for a few puffs of the
bellows each morning before sweeping
keeps our rooms free from flies. The
powder costs 60 cents per pound at
wholesale, but with care will last some
time, for gentle puffs of the powder
answer every purpose, as it is only nee
essary to blow it once where the flies
can breath it.-Cor. Rural Ncoo Yorker.
