In some States any one OF the resi-"
dents who will establish and main
tain watering trough along the high
way is exempted from q certain num-
Der Of days Of road tax. This law
proves such convenience to the
travelling public as we'll as the resi-
dents that 1t should find place upon
the statute books of all the States;
however, to aid those who desire TO
erect the best forms of troughs, the
accompanying sketches from the
American Agriculturist, are pre-
sented. In Fig. /, the trough is
placed parallel with the roadway as
often there is no room to extend IL In
any other direction. Whenever pos
sible let the water enter near the
bottom Of the trough, as the upward
flow keeps the water continually agi-
tated and pure The outlet or over
flow pipe should have its mouth as
near the top as possible, and In no
case let the surplus water overflow
the trough and run upon the sur
rounding soil TO form mud holes. The
plan in Fig 2 will prove more con-
venient and should be initiated
whenever practicable; It's form not
only allows both horses of the team
to drink at once, but a team may also
drive up at the Opposide side, This
trough need not be over five feet in
length, and should be placed four feet
from the ground, that horses may
drink without being unchecked; how

Agricultural Fairs.

In mearly,eVerY county one or more
fairs are held each autumn. Farm
ers and their families, says the Amer
lean AgricuIturist, should endeavor
to spend one or more days at these
annual gatherings There is certain
to be something Of great interest and
benefit to every branch of farming.
In fruit or vegetables, If anything Of
merit DIS observed, find out the name
and price and test it for next season.
Follow the same with grain or other
products of the fields. Talk with
the producer, if possible, and obtain
valuable points or hints that will aid
In future lab0rs Look over the i'm
proved breeds of stock, and decide
whethera thoroughbred animal could
be used In your lneighborhood with
profit The machinery and imple-
ments will receive their share Of at
tehtioR. You usually meet many Of
your friends, and make new ones,
and thus add another link to the eV-
idence of why you should attend the
fairs. both local and State. Take
something with you TO exhibit, and
whether you obtain a premium or not,
you have aided in the display and
success Of the exhibition, and in the

40 Fasten WAGON TLres.

Dry hot weather makes trouble
with wagon tires. In the hot season
blacksmiths have all they can do
setting tires, and with some old
vehicles the job has often to be re-
peated the same summer. 1t Is pos
slble to save much Of this cost and
vexation Of spirit by the plan Of the
New York State farmer who every
spring treated his wagon tires to a
soaking In linseed oil brought nearly
to the boiling point, The oil is
poured into trough about two
inches wider than the tire and an
inch OF more above the felloes; The
wheel with the tire was revolved in
this oil until all was taken up that
the wood could absorb The oil kept
out the water. There was no swell
ling of the wood, however damp the
weather came The operation was
repeated every year, and proved a
good preservatlve of wheels from in-
jury and at very small expense.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to Its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

SHE HAD A GREAT HEAD.
Burglars Held up the Train but she
Held her Money.

Burglars Held up the Train but she
Held her Money.
She was charming young widow
and she occupied section on the Pull
man sleeper between Denver and San
Francisco.
The train was crowded and the atten-
ton of the passengers was divided be-
tween the winsome widow and the young
bridal couble from the East, who careless
Of the comment their actions excited, con-
tinued to love each other with caressing
words and eyes to their hearts content
The through passengers had become
like friends, and the long days which
the train rushed over rolling prairie and
desolate alkali waste were made short by
pleasant converse.
1t was one night when they we're de-
scending the western slope of the great
Rockies that the incident occurred which
makes this story.
Several card tables had been established,
and at one Of them the bridal couple
played as partners against the pretty
widow and handsome young man from
Jacksonville, Fla, who was on his way
to Southern California.
The game had ended and the young
married couple were victorious. They
were indulging in good-humored bad
image at the expense Of their late oppo-
nents and asked il there was any other
game they were more familiar with than
whist.
"Never mind," said the little widow
Stuck won't run your way always"
Seemingly in answer to her prophecy
came the stern command "Hands upP'
and at each end of the car stood two
masked desperadoes with drawn re-
Volvers.
The male passengers were taken by
surprise and there was nothing to do
but obey.
Slowly the robbers went through the
car and as one held the cooked revolver
covering his victim the other secured
his valuables.
When they came to the bridal couple
they made rich haul, the diamonds OF
the bride and tho well filed purse of the
groom, then they turned to the widow,
"Your money" sternly. Demurely she
handed over her purse and an examina-
ton showed the train robbers that it
contained only railroad ticket, $3.50
in cash and Express Money Orders for
$1,000. The $3.50 they confscated, but
politely handed back the purse and
money orders, saying, IF all had your
fOrethought our occupation would be
gone"
That little widow married her hand

Why Oil Stoves Explode.

just as regularly as the summer
season comes round numberless small
fires are reported in the newspapers
as having been caused by the explo-
sion Of oil stoves. In such cases what
really happens is generally only this:
That person rushes into a kitchen
where there is an oil stove, sees the
stove enveloped in flame, and, catch
ing 1t up, dumps it bodily out of the
nearest window, The stove is broken
to pieces by that proceeding, but
there has been no explosion; In fact,
the dealers say that oil stoves never
explode.
The trouble seems TO be that the
people do not take proper care Of the
stoves. Instead of cleaning them
from time to Time, as in the case OF
lamps, they neglect them and allow
them to become clogged up with a
coating Of dust and oil. That mix
ture is very inhammable, and If 1t
remains about the wicks, it will
eventually take fire. In order for
the stove to explode, there must be q
sudden ignition of gas generated
within 1t; if that happens, the stove
will be blown to pieces. Most Of the
stoves are now made, however, 80
that the gas from the oil can escape
through holes perforated In the cap
Of the oil chambers; and as these
holes allow communication with the
open air, If an explosion-that is, q
quick ignition of the gas-should
take place, it is doubtful if it would
do any damage.
If a stove should burst into flames
on account of the coating Of dust and
oil, so long as the flame did not come
into contact with anything inham-
mable, like wood, there would prob
able be no damage done. The dust
and oil would burn off the surface,
then the flame would 90 out.
1t is possible that trouble might be
occasioned In rare instances by the
overheating Of a stove; but according
to the dealers the temperature must
be raised to 100 degrees before the
oil will flame. The dealers seem to
think that If the stoves are kept
thoroughly clean the chance for
trouble is very slight. Boston Tran.

Too Much Potosh.

That veteran agricultural writer,
B. f. j., reports in the Country
Gentlemen an experiment. in which
hard wood ashes made by burning an
Usage orange hedge and spreading
thickly on sod land did more injury
than good. 1t is quite likely, how
ever, that in this case it was excess
OF nitrogen rather than Of potash
that made his potatoes grow large,
luxuriant foliage, aud hisc great
growth of stalks with much smut and
few perfect ears Ashes are solvent
and promote rapid fermentation. A
large amount applied to sod land that
was evidently very rich before made
the excess of nitrogen In the soil
This produced the results he de-
scribes The potash Itself ought to
make corn ear better, and as analysis
shows 1t Is found plentifully In pota-
toes both foliage and tuber. A lit
tie potash in the hill has often pre-
vented rough and seedy potatoes,
while parts of the field not so treated
were made nearly worthless by this
cause.

The much-a advertised disinfectants
are usually c"tch-penny nostrums and
unworthy OIL notice. One of the very
best known disinfectants is old-fash-
toned "copperas" or sulphate Of iron,
which can be had very cheap. A
barrel of copperas would probably
weigh 400 pounds, and can be pur-
chased at wholesale for u cent per
pound. And every family ought,
especially in warm weather, to have
a supply of it on hand. A couple OF
handsful of coDperas, If thrown into
bucket Of water, will soon dissolve,
and it can then be used freely, and is
a valuable disinfectant

Select freestones; put them into a
wire kettle and dip the kittle into
boiling water for one minute; then
take out and peel with silver knife,
cut In halves, make syrup with one
quart of water and one pint of sugar
cooked together; drop in peaches
enough, when the syrup is boiling
hot, for one can; when tender lift out
with a wire spoon into heated glass
jar; when full pour enough syrup from
the kettle to fill the jar, then screw
the cover on; then cook enough for
another can the same way. Ina using
peaches for canning it is better to use
only one variety in a can. The light
colored peaches, although not as rich
looking, are very nice when canned
and excellent for ,dumplings.

A Remedy or General UtIlity.

II is among the follies of which the manu-
facturers of many proprietary medicines are
guilty, TO term their medicines "panaceas"
or to claim for them the quality of panaceas.
There is no such thing as "panacean which
means n remedy adapted to all diseases.
This absurdty has never been perpetroteed
by the proprietor Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. But they do claim, and with Justice
that II Is remedy Of general utility. and
this because it restores that regular and Wig.
orous condition of the stomach liver and
bowels which conduce to the recovery OF
general health. Thus it forthes the system
against malaria 10y infusing stamina, and
causing harmonious action of the organs
which, as long as they 90 right, arc the best
guaranty against an endemic malady like
chills and fever. II accomplishes double
purpose by stimulating activity of the kid
neys, since II not only prevents their disease
and decay, but expels from the blood
through them impurities that cause rheuma-
tsm, govt and dropsy, Use 1t with conf
dence.

Artificial Northern Lights.

Artificial miniature auroras of the

by both De la Rive, the French
savant, and LensJrom, the Swedish
astronomer. In Professor Lenstrom's
experiments, which were made In
Finland, the peak Of high mountain
was surrounded with a coil Of wire,
pointed at intervals with tin nibs.
The wire was then charged with
electricity, whereupOn a brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain,
in which spectroscOpic analysis re-
Vealed the greenish-yellow rays so
