Care of Farm Machinery.

A very familiar title say YOU. TO-
caily we have quite a talented lawyer
edltor, who has become a farmer and
ne has and Is giving us some very inter-
estlng Walks and Talks on the Farm"
His last talk was upon buying binders,
This Is a wheat country, two years set
tied, averaging at least fifty acres Of
wheat to the claim even in it's
Binders cost from $135 to $3.50 and he
says mot one in twenty is paid for
when bought and a large percentage
eve will be-"
He claims that too many are bought:
that at least four farmers should pur-
chase together. That the lack Of care
n their use renders them worth but
500 at the close of the first year.
we dissent from many of his posi-
lions taken, only a portion of which are
here given; but the machines are
bought for this year, and before this is
read Oklahoma machines will have fin
ished their work for this year and will
be under a shed or standing in the open
field.
NOW we are not going to say what
you shall do or what you can do. We
realize the situation in Il new country
without money. There are twenty bind
ers and headers within five miles of us,
and while we think the editor scaling
down from $40 to $50 in n year is
too great, yet place your own estimate
and see if you can stand it, even if the
machine car stand it out in the field.
G. E. Moore of Sheridan, Okla, writes
me: Our binder started in for the
fourth season without a hitch, and l do
not think the repairs have cost over

Upon leaving the old farm I sold my
harvesting machinery, used two years,
for so per cent of what they cost me.

year can you not have all machinery

Rusby was directly in his path, and
with one blow of his huge paw he
him.
A wild clamor arose. Shouts and
cries Of direction filled the air, and the
trumpeter blew frightfully upon his
horn, as if that would mend matters
Still the bear stood over Jim growing
and making ready to tear him to pieces.
Then it was that Ren Tempest, hunt
er, rose to the occasion. While strong
men we're shrieking and dancing wild
ly about, having completely lost their
heads, the baby" of the party, every
nerve in his young body quivering with
excitement, and his little face rs pale
as death, stole softly Up to the huge,
gro lirg brown mass, and putting the
mux7la of lis rifle just behind the left
shoulder, shlt his eyes and fired.

trembling rs the baby" could only
falter out his thanks to his boyish pre-
server.
The great carcass Of the bear was

arrangements were quickly completed

Some idea Of the Distance to That
Source of Light and Life.

Source OF Light anu Lie.
M. Camille Flammarion, has an at
tractive method Of communicating
scientific facts, and in an article In a
receAt issue Of Science Siftings he
gives a characteristic description of
the marvels Of the sum-, The celestial
body, he tells us weighs '324,O00 times
the weight Of our globe and is 1,2SSS,0O0
times the size of our earth. To form
an idea of the superiority Of the great
ness of the sun over the earth we can
represent the sur by a sphere of q
m~eters-larger than the Pantheon of
Paris-and place beside it to represent
the earth q toy balloon Of 20 centimet-
ers in diameter.
The real dimensions Of the sun are
concluded from it's apparent dimen-
sions combined with its distance. Six
different methods Of measurement
prove that if the entire earth were
transplanted to the same distance as
The sun, it would be seen at an angle
Of 17.64-that is to say, at a distance
equal to II, 1893 times the diameter of
our globe, or in other words. 149,O0O,-
GOO Of kilometers. The only way Of ap-
preciating such a distance is to meas
ure it by the time a train would take
to traverse it. Suppose, for instance,
an express train going at sixty kjlo-
meters an hour set out to reach the
sun the duration of the journey would
be 149,OOO,OOO minutes, or 2,4S3,SS3333
hours, or 1O3.472 days or 2S3. years.

Advice for Haymakers.

The hay loader is a great saver OF
labor yet on many of the smaller farms
it may not be good policy to purchase
one.
When timothy is wanted for the seed,
allow it to get well ripened then u
with selfbinder and treat much as you
would wheat.
II the hay is to be shocked, rake 1t
In large windrows, and avoid twisting
as much as possible in handling.
Treated this way, it is easier to load
and there is less trouble in making a
good stack.
1t is better to start the mower in the
morning after the dew is gone. If the
hay is cut while still wet. especially
IL dew is very heavy, the effect will be
somewhat like that Of a light shower.
When there is considerable clover
mixed with hay it will pay to use a
tedder, especially during rainy weather
where it is desirable to get 1t into the
barn or stack as quickly as possible
after cutting. y.
AS a general rule timothy hay cut
when about half through blooming
Is most desirable for all purposes. The
leaves and stalks then contain the
most digestible matter, seed does not
scatter. and there is little waste in
feeding.
After the hay is partially dried, put
it into small shocks and let 1t there
dry out completely. Cured II. this way
1t retains q green color and is much
more readily eaten. The object Is to
cure with tie least possible exposure
to the sun.-prnirie Farmer.

Chiefly Because of Bacteria.

~
The following questions and answers
are taken from the London Dairy, and
will be of interest to those who have
nor than once asked, why is this
doneY"
Why should the udder of the COW and
the hands of the mixer be made as
clean as possible befole milking? To
keep bacteria from getting into the
milk.
Why should the milk be removed
from the stable as soon as possible
after milking? To prevent absorption
OF any odOrs of the stable.
Why should milk not be put at once,
after milking, into closely covered cans?
Because by so doing odors are retained
in the milk.
Why should milk that is to be set for
cream in covered cans or put into cans
for immediate delivery, be aerated?
To remove the animal and other odors
from the milk.
Why should milk be set as soon as
possible? To stop the action Of bactc-
ria.
Why should the temperature of the
milk be reduced as quickly as possible
for Dreaming? To prevent the forma-
ton of fibrin anu tho growth Of bacte-
ria.
Why should milk that is to be set for
cream be agitated no more than is nee
essary before setting? Because agita.
ton favors the formation of fibrin.
Why should milk pals, pans, cans,
churnS and every utensil used in the
dairy, be kept most carefully clean?
Solely to keep out bacteria.
Why is cream ripened before churn-
ing? TO develop flavor and render
churning easier.
Why should the ripening process Of
cream not be allowed to continue too
long? To prevent the development Of
bacteria that produce offensive prod
uctS, such as bitterness, Gnd destroy
aroma.
Why should a thermometer be used
ut every step Of the process of making
butter? TO be sure the temperature is
the one desired ut each stage or dit'k
ion of the work.
Why does cooling of the milk pee 'cnr
or retard souring? 1t retnrds growth
in bacteria.
Why do milk and cream sour less rap
idly in winter than in summer? There
are fewer bacteria in the air and the
temperature is lower.
Why does the ripening of cream make
it churn more easily? The albuminous
matter of cream is rendered less tena-
cious.
Why does milk become sour? Bac-
terra changes sugar into Tactic acid.
Why should the room in which milk
Is set be made perfect in it's sanitary
conditions, such rs good ventilation,
cleanliness of floors, wall, ETC., freedom
of bad odors, ETC.? To keep out unde-
sirable bacteria and keep products free
from bad odOrs.
Why is butter worked? To lessen the
percentage of water and casein.
Why does the presence OF casein In
the butter injure it? 1t affords nour-
ishment to bacteria, which causes but
ter to decOmpOse.

Money is not seeking investment as
actively as it was then, particularly

with an inexhaustible quarry of the
finest building stone, and with sup

similar enterprise: Or where could a
better point be found for the manu-

which would burn it without adding

us. Let us all pull together till they

The King Of Indis's Herds That Barnum's
Man Lost.
An interesting character sat chatting
in the reading room of a Fulton street
hotel one day recently. He looked
about fifty years old and his bronzed
face showed the marks of exposure to
the elements in many chimes.
Toa small group of friends, who know
him as j. Il. Gaylord for twenty-five
years a catcher of the largest species of
wild animals for circuses, and for many
years Barnum's friend and foreign
agent, he was telling of thrilling ex-
perienc, while attempting to capture
what he believes was the largest ele-
plant in the world.
81 was in Hong Kong, ready to leave
for America with a cargo of lions,
tigers and elephants" said he, "when
received dispatch from Mr.. Barnum

my partner, a native, in Calcutta, and
we started away.
cry Of the largest elephant ever seen in
southern India. He was said to be
fifteen feet high, to have lorded it over

1--WE reached the elephant country
we'll provided with natives. decoy ele-
plants and all necessary paraphernalia-
We selected a spot near the stream to
which Jupiter and his herd went to
drink, and the natives began building
the trap in which we hoped to catch
the king elephant. When the walls of
the corral had been completed, we cut
path, gradually widening from the
mouth of the corral until it was one
hundred feet in width quarter of a
mile away. Its sides were built up of
trees and reavy underbrush in a nat
ural manner At the entrance to the
corral a mammoth gate was swung
high in the trees, ready to drop the
moment the signal was given.
"Then we had to find our elephant
We started a number of herds, and
finally located Jupiter. with twenty
others of the finest and largest ele-
plants ever set eyes on.
Now the real fun began. It took
two days of the most skillful work to
get the herd anywhere near our corral
Our four decoy elephants did their
work splendidly, though. 1t was most
interesting to watch them coax the
wild ones into the trap. They would
rub up against them and trumpet and
caper about. all the while leading the
unsuspecting elephants nearer to the
lane that led into the corral
Near the entrance one hundred na-
tives were stationed in the trees, and
when the elephants entered they be-
gan a tremendous shouting and throw
ing of elephant spears The herd
dashed right straight ahead, and were
quickly in the corral The big gate
that closed the only aperture then was
let down.
Here began the artistic work. The
tame elephants were mounted by pro-
fessional elephant tanners. who. after
