FAST WALKERS,

A Quality the Farm Horse Should Possess.
In purchasing or hiring pillow horse
stake off a mile of road. Mount the
horse and see how many minutes it will
take him to walk mile. A horse that
will walk three miles an hour is worth
at least three times as much as a horse
that walks but two miles. The three
mile horse not only does as much work
in two days as the two-mile horse does
in three, but he enables the man behind
the pillow to do fifty per cent. more work
mile horse. And the man and horse con-
sumo with the slow team fifty per cent.
more rations in doing the same work
than the fast walker does. In twelve
months the man would do no more cart
ing and blowing with the slow horse
than he would do in eight months with
the fast walker.
Suppose farmer to hire man and a
two-mile horse to do an amount Of plow-
ing and carting that it takes three
months to perform, and pays S3 month
for the horse, SO for his feed, and SIS for
the man, who boards himself; S24 a
month, three months, S72. If he hires
the same man at SIS month and pays
So for horse feed and 81 for a fast
walker, he can do in two months what
the slow team would do in three. Two
months, fast team and feed and plow-
man, at S25 month, $50. Direct loss
by slow horse. S22. Besides, the work
done by the slow horse is not so well or
seasonably dOne-the seed may be put
in the ground too late, the grass may
get ahead of the pillow, and the indirect
loss by the slow team may be serious,
besides the S22 loss, as stated above

GOOSE CREEK ISLAND.
One of the Most Unique Places to BE -Four
In the South.

One of the Most Unique Places to BE -Four !.
In the South.
Goose Creek Island on the North
Carolina coast is one of the most mac
cessible, uncomfortable places to be
several thousand acres, and its soil is
unusually fertile and admirably adapted
for the raising of cattle. The island is
surrounded for many miles inland by al
most impossible swamps; access by wa
ter is had through a narrow, tOrtuOus
channel only navigable by the smallest
of craft. For miles around the water
outside of the passage way is only few
inches in depth, and man in rubber
boots could wade dry shod all day along
this worthless stretch of water, which
is too shallow for fish and too deep for
agriculture. Hence the islanders lead q
very retired and isolated life, practically
as much shut off from the world as II
they were in the midst of the Atlantic.
There are about $50 houses on the place,
mostly cabins, though there are several
well-to-do planters who, educated and
refined, keep aloof socially from the
Door and illiterate inhabitants. The
women of the latter class are buxOm,
but with no form to speak of. None q
them wear corsets. Their complexion
is of the same muddy, unhealthy color
as the mems. The girls are shy and re-
tired, but still are daughters OF Mothes
Eve, and in their way they strive to
keep up with the latest fashions. Their
principal dress is of calico cut straight
and many of them use bustles, AID. a.
newspapers are scarce, they employ
dried sea grass punched in knot, and

being attached to the dasher of the
churn or the handle of the crank it will
do the work effectively.
The churn stands safely in the box,
which must be of adequate size. A hole
must be bored through the upright, just
above the rim of the balance wheel, and
a heavy pin kept handy to insert through
the wheel into the hole which it fits to
hold the sails from turning when it is
necessary to look at the butter. Handles
are provided at the bottom of the box
for turning it into the wind. When not
in use the wings may be taken off and
housed until needed again. The re-
mainder of the crude machine can be left
out of doors. Any boy can make one and
so help out the work of women who have
to churn by hand.
The Globe-republican., 1889-12-18
Take Care of the Tools.

Whether on large or more limited
farms it is of great Importance that all
implements and machinery be kept in
good working order, and this is es-
pecially necessary where two or more
men work in conjunction. a broken
machine stops the whole work. The
best and most durable tools should,
therefore, be selected and purchased,
and as soon as their season of use
passes, they are to be cleaned. polished,
oiled. or otherwise fitted for slowing
away, that they may be ready without
delay for future use when the time
again comes round. For example,
after spring work is completed, the
plows, harrows and other pulverizing
tools should be put in the best condi-
ton, and after haying and harvest the
receive the same attention.
If the suggestions which we have
made in the preceding remarks are
efficiently carried out, if the machines
and arrangements are made to fit the
size of the farm and the amount Of farm
force employed, and if the tools, build
ings and fences are never allowed to be-
come broken or defective, there is moth
ing to prevent the whole years routine
of farm operations being carried on
with very little interruption. with salts
faction to the owner or occupant, and
without the annoyance and vexation at
tending the use of broken tools, delayed
work and confused operations.

WIND POWER.

No More f1A3d Churning-A Hard Task
Made Easy.
There il no more need of turning the
crank or lifting the dasher of the churn,
says a contributor to Farm and Home,
for the little arrangement which 1 illus
trate does away with this manual labor.
The cut explains itself. A balance
wheel must be arranged at one end of
an axle and four or six-winged wheel
to catch the wind at the other. In the
center the rod must be bent in the shape
of the letter U. AS the axle revolves

good plan to seek information early.
Locate the hot bed where it will be free
from the wind. Give it protection on

a good protection. Build the frame of

You can construct the hot bed wholly
above ground or partly under ground.
If it is all above ground, however, and
the bed is made very early, you must
bank up with manure on the outside to
the top of the frame. Pack the manure
evenly in the bed. This may be done
by placing boards on top and slipping
from one to another and moving them
about as may be necessary. If you want
an early bed put in foot and half of
manure and six inches of soil.
Guard against cold by placing in q
sheltered place, as We have already
directed, by banking up with manure,
and cover the beds at night with mats or
straw. Guard against heat by opening
the beds little when the sun is warm.

is made about ten feet long, six feet
wide at one end and three feet wide at
the other, and made high enough to
prevent hogs from jumping over. The

town some two days since was out
serenading last night. They came
within one of anchoring in front of the
residence of the LIGHT editor, and
that music was as sweet as ever
struck upon the night air. The or
chestra consists of cornet, clarionet,
piccolo, two violins, bass viol and
horn. They are cordially invited to
drop around on Alamo street aud do
it some more. The serenade was in
compliment to the Misses SchultZe.

Wrapped in a Smoky Cloud.

HELENA, Mont, August 1.-The
forest tiress%hich have been prevailing
in Montana for weeks show no signs
of abatement. From Helena, west,
north and south, a great black cloud
of smoke hangs over the country and
for six days the sun has not been seen.
Granville Stuart, than whom no man
in Montana is better able to judge,
estimates the damage at half a mil
lion dollars. At Missoula, in western
Montana, streets, buildings and side
walks are covered with ashes. The air
is like blast furnace. The atmosphere
is filled with crisp embers that have
descended like light falling snow.
The fire now raging in the Boulder
canon near Bemice has been the most
destructive of property. In the neigh
borhood of the great mining camp of
Phillipsburg the damage has been
immense, while the town of Granite
is in imminent danger of being de-
stroyed. The mountains about this
city are all ablaze, and while no
danger to the city is feared, the heat
and stltlling smoke are almost I'M
bearable.

Ice Companies Consolidated.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. l.-InfOrmatiOn
comes from Mobile, Alabama that the
recent consolidation in that city of
ice companies has led to the formation
of an ice trust for the purpose of con-
trolling the manufacture and sale of
artificial ice in the south. Five large
companies one each in Mobile, Sa-
vannah, Charleston, Birmingham and
Brunswick are already in the combine
and others are expected to join, until
the ice business Of the entire south is
brought under control. The combi-
nation which has been organized into
a central company has a capital of
$500, 900 and will control the individ-
ual companies through ownership of
stock in each.
