Inveniln smnkInr.

Expressions Of individual opinion re-
garding this form of youthful perversity
are not lacking; but before the custom
can be wholly abolished a general and
outspoken objection must be made and
maintained. No one who has really
given any thought to the matter would
hesitate in condemning the injurious
folly Of the practice. Stunted growth,
impaired digestion, palpitation, and the
other evidences OF nerve exhaustion and
irritabillty, have again and again I'M
pressed lesson of abstinence which
has hitherto been far too little regarded.
A further stage of warning has. been
reached in a case which lately came be-
fore a coroner. A boy was In the habit
OF smoking cigarettes and cigar-ends,
and, after an attack OF sickness, died
somewhat suddenly. The post-mortem
examination revealed fatty changes In
the heart, which there was little doubt,
as the verdict held, had been fatally
supplemented In their influence by the
smoking habit referred to. This, OF
course, is an extreme example. 1t is
also, however, after all, only the strong
ly colored illustration OF effects upon
health which are daily realized n'thou-
sands OF instances. The pipe or cigar
is nothing less than dangerous when it
ministers to the unbounded whims and
cravings of every needless urchin.
Clearly there is need OF some control
ling power here. for the parent, in GER
tain classes, is almost as ignorant OF
consequences and, probably. often quite
as apathetic as his boy.

Portland, Ore. was recently thrown
into momentary excitement by what APP
peared to be q cruel murder on one OF
It's principal streets in broad daylight.
A man with blood streaming down his
face dashed out OF cigar store, pur-
sued by another, who was yelling Wild
ly and braudishing a revolver. The
crowd followed, and at the next corner
the pursuer caught up TO the fleeing
man and shot him In the back. He fell
headlong to the pavement and the ether
attempted to run away, but was cap
tured by policeman. He was taken to
a magistrate near by and testified that
his victim had deliberately grabbed a
cigar, :. naming the brand, from his
mouth on being told by the dealer that
he had just sold the last to the gentle
man in question. He had naturally
been rendered furious by the loss OF
such a fine cigar, and had struck the
man and then followed him and shot
him. He was locked up. and 1t was not
until the next morning that the affair
was shown to be a sell, for the supposed
victim had bribed a doctor to say he
was fatally wounded. Every paper but
one fell into the trap and published the
name OF the brand OF cigars.

sometimes aggravated by a wire
stretched from the bottom of the cor
ner post to the top Of the nearest
fence post TO keep such post in
the ground. it is often made of a
heavy log, or is weighted down by
huge rocks which brighten young
horses Sometimes stout cable OF
twisted wire is guyed from the top Of
the corner post to stake driven into
the roadbed, just where the highway
should be widest These methods Of
bracing a fence post are wrong. The
proper wav TO brace fence post is
shown in the illustration from a
sketch sent the American Agricultur-
ist by j. Whilden of Kansas. The
corner post should be planted at least
four feet deep, and, If possible, the
lower end should be larger. If round
and of hardwood, it need not be
larger than the hole bored by an ordi-
nary post auger AS the lower end
must not be the smaller, it should not
be pointed for driving in. If OF the
same size throughout, the lower end
may be scUlloped, as shown. The
earth around the post should be thor
oughly tamped from bottom to top
If set in an augur hole, the earth
may be tamped by pouring water
around the post, and slowly dropping
in fine subsoil, which dissolves and
settles until the ground line is
reached DO not brace or stretch the
wire until the water is absorbed. AS
the strain of the wire is horizontal,
the braces should be as nearly hori-
zontal as possible. Notch the corner
post eighteen inches from the ground,
and place stout brace reaching
thence to the ground line of the near
est fence post.

windmill Churn,

There is no use for churning by
hand and allowing the wind to fly
past unused. The dairy editor OF the
Orange Judd Farmer has become con-
WINGED of this and he now does his
churning by the aid OF the wind. He
finds it saves labor, and as the device
he uses is his own contrivance and
not generally known, an illustration
and description are given herewith.
A common pumping windmill does
the work. A drive-wheel turned by
the windmill, a clutch OF racket and
pulley wheel on the churn are the
machinery used. Our drive-wheel is a
silent clutch wheel, but those who
have none can use an old mower
wheel, as shown in the cut with a
racket wheel ON the shaft. An old
plnion would make fair substitute
for the racket The catch lever is

How to Make a Toad Happy.

There are few things more amusing
than to watch toad submitting to the
operation of a 5ack-scratching. He
will at first look somewhat suspiciously
at the twig which you are advancing
toward him. But after two or three
passes down his back his manner I'M
dergoes marked change; his eyes'close
with an expression OF infinite rapture,
he plants his feet wider apart and his
body swells out to nearly double its
ordinary size, as II to obtain by these
means more room for enjoyment. Thus
he will remain until you make some
sudden movement which startles him,
until he has had as much petting as he
wants, when, with puff Of regretful
delight. he will reduce himself to his
usual dimensions and hop away bent
once more on the pleasures Of the chase.

about thirty-four years. All the coins
issued from it bore the dates of 1862 or

bly,, throughout the thirty-four years Of
coinage. Some coins had been made in
Bermuda for the use OF the Virginia
colony as early as 1914, Copper coins
bearing the figure OF an elephant were
struck In England for the Carolinas and
New England In 1894. Coins were also
struck for Maryland bearing the effigy
OF Lord Baltimore. A mint was estab-
lished In Rupert, VT. by Legislative au-
thority in 1855, whence copper cents
were issued, bearing on one side pillow
and sun rising from behind hills, and

by thirteen stars.-Boston Budget.

can be changed by having two or

vice changes the reciprocal motion
into circular by means of old castings
which can he found on every farm.
1t will not do to use piston on a
windmill for such u purpose, as it is
liable to stop on the dead center, I"
then when the wind freshens the Ie-
suit would be to smash things unless
some one were there to start it past
the center. But with the racket APP
pliance il needs no watching. The
churn always starts when the wind
moves the windmill. The upward
stroke alone does the work. The mo-
mentum of the heavy iron wheel
keeps up motion during the down
stroke. We find churnlng by wind a
success. Very rarely is the wind too

Feeding Too Much Hay.

Horses hard at work, especially il
quick motion is desired, should not
be fed mainly on hay. 1t is too bulky
In proportion TO nutritive value, and
with most kinds OF hay the nutrition
is not of the right sort. 1t produces
warmth rather than muscle and
strength. Good clover hay is more
strengthening than most other hays,
but is too palatable 70 be fed all
horses will eat. They gorge them
selves so that the digestive or
gans require most Of the animal
energy With partly grain ration,
less work is put upon the digestive
apparatus, and what strength is thus
saved is worth more for other parts of
the System.
