Probably the very best rods now
made are of galvanized iron wire rope,
weighing not less than two pounds
to the foot. The glass insulators
usually employed are perfectly need
less, expensive, and possibly dan
gerous. All metal cutters, roofing,
etc., on the building should be con-
nected with the rods, and the rods
should terminate in two or three
gilded points which should be occa-
sionally cleaned and frightened. A

Some Qualities Of a Good Mixer.

There is no person more valuable
upon the farm thalfa gbod miszsr,
and there is no rarer Individual.
The first requisite is an even temp
er and perfect control of self. The
essentials are complete knowledge
of the cows condition, SO that any
disease of the udder may be prevent
ed, or if occurring, be promptly and
properly treated. A quiet, calm
manner, the use of the whole hand,
and an even pressure, so that the
animal is not compelled to endure
torture.
The skill requisite for a good milk
er is only acquired by long practice,
but there are certain people natural
ly better constituted than others to
excel in this particular. 1t is abso-
lutely essential that the mixer
should be habitually neat, and care
full to be scrupulously SO when milk
ing. The bag should be carefully
washed with clean, tepid water, and
wiped with a soft cloth before milk
ing begins. Only person who can
be thoroughly trusted in the care of
himself, of the COWS and of the milk
can be regarded as a good mixer,
and such a person must ever COM
mand good wages.-Dairy World.

ed to each other, and from which
the produce may be expected to
prove best adapted for a particular
use. Haphazard breeding is respon-
sible for so many horses being raised
that are not valuable for any special
use, and sell for low prices for the
most ordinary kinds of service.
Such horses are raised at loss,
while at little or no greater .ex-
pense those could be bred that would
pay handsome profit.
1t is hazardous to breed from an
animal that is seriously defective, as
many do, hoping the produce may
inherit the desirable qualities and
not the defective. The latter are
the most likely to be perpetuated, as
many a breeder can testify. Better
select an animal in which the defects
Eare not foupd, even at sachfice OF
merit in other respects, especially so
when there are traces of disease that
is known to be hereditary. This
point has been referred to heretofore,
and cases cited that show the danger
of loss from overlooking it. This
is fully understood by many whose
own experience has given them the
proof, and yet they take the chances
again because they hope to be more
fortunte another time and secure in
the produce some special features
which they greaAy admire Even
if the disappointment does not come
at the first, it is very likely to later
on as the animal grows older, and
after perhaps considerable money
has been spent in developing him.

properly erected lightning rods as a
means of protecting buildings against
violent and destructive discharges of
electricity. The three principal
points to be observed are usually sta
ted as follows:
/. The points of the conductor
should be so elevated above the build
ing that all parts of the latter will
be included in an imaginary cone
of which the point of the rod is
the apex and the angle formed by
the side of the cone with the perpen-
dicular will be forty-five degrees. In
other words, suppose you take a
huge carpenters square and suspend
it on the point of the protector, or
lightning rod, so that each leg of the
square will point downward at the
same angle or inclination- Now,
imagine the Square SO balanced to be
r6volved SO as to describe con6 al
points of the building included with
this cone will be protected. If the
building be large one it may be
and often is more convenient to have
two or more points. These may be
connected by rod running along
the top of the building and then uni
ted to the ground, or each point may
have separate and distinct rod
which ever is most convenient or
cheaper.
2. There should be perfect con-
tinuity in the rod and an effectual
and permanent connection with the
deep, moist earth. If practicable
the rod should be a continuous one,
or joined together by brazing or sol
der. The lower end should go into
the ground at least six feet, or until
permanently moist earth is reached.
1t is an excellent plan to let the rod
run down into well of water. II
not convenient to do this, dig hole
six feet deep and after inserting the
rod, fill the hole foot or two with
old iron or metal of any kind.
The rod should be large enough
to carry off the most powerful elec-
trical discharge. The conductivity
of a rod depends upon the metal Of
which tits made and the area of its
cross section, or its weight per foot
of length. The fanciful twists anc
flanges given to many rods are simp
| ly fanciful- practical. An iror
rod of one inch in diameter is suffi
cient. A copper rod of three-eighth'

Choosing Horses to Breed From.
In the raising of horses, perhaps
more than in the case of any other
kind of farm stock, it is important to
use special care and good judgment
in making selections for breeding
purposes. A steer may be quite de-
fective in certain points, and yet he
can be fattened and disposed of at
some price, and this perhaps not far
below what first class beast would
bring, as to leave no profit to the
feeder. A horse, however, is not so
easily sold. If he possesses serious
defects, his selling value is very ma
terially cut down. If he lacks style
and fine appearance, he is not
wanted by the admirer of these quail
tiles at any price. If he is slow and
awkward RE can not be Sold t-at AL
to any onewho wishes a AoAse for
use OH the road where speed is re-
quired. If he shows an ugly dispo-
sition, is self-wiQed, and difficult to
manage, he is regarded unsafe and
his value very much decreased, few
wanting such horse even at low
figure. There are so many quail
ties which go to make up desirable
horse, and the absence of any of
which so seriously depreciate him in
the estimation of purchasers, that,
as mentioned heretofore, the breed
er needs to use special pains to pre-
vent loss and disappointment. Par
ticularly is this so in the case of
horses to be used for driving purpo-
ses, and this is one reason why SO
many farmers choose to breed draft
horses in which not SO many supe-
rior qualities are sought for, if only
they are sound and able to work
While the more merit heavy horses
possess. the better prices they will
bring, still their selling value is not
dependent to SO great degree on
this as in case of the lighter class OF
horses.
In planning to raise the best hors-
es it does not follow that the farmer
should patronize the most expensive
stallion in bis neighborhood, for he
may not have mares of such quality
as to render such course advisable,
in fact-they may be much better
suited for different and less valua-
BILE horse. The selection calls fol
judgment on his part to see that the
animals are mated that are best suit

Catarrh to Consumption.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object of
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies, connected by ignorant pretenders to
medical knowledge, have weakened the conf
dence of the great majority of sufferers in all
advertised remedies. They become resigned to
a life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met
at every stage and combated with all our might
In many cases the disease has assumed danger
Gus symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the
nose the organs of hearing, of seeing and of
tasting so affected as to be useless the uvula so
elongated. the throat so infiamed and irritated
as to produce constant and distressing cough
