How to Manufacture Handy Harrow In

The sketch gives fair idea of use

of the harrow Is made of oak or other
tough wood and the pieces may be 3 by
4 inches, or any size desired, according
as the harrow is 10 be light or heavy.
The two side pieces should be about 3
feet long and the middle piece one foot
longer. A good plan is to get the tim
Der hewed out and dressed neatly
while green, and then to allow it to
season a month or two before putting
together.
In making the harrow, round off the
ends of all the frame pieces, and then
bore at least three half-inch holes
through at right angles to the direc-
ton of the teeth: one hole at least 8
inches from each end and another in
the middle. Put half-inch bolts in
each hole and screw up. If preferred
rivets may be used instead of bolts; the

They Represent ths Place of Coinage or
the Die-Naker's Name.
The mint marks" on our silver coin
age are so well known that almost any
school child can tell you where a piece
was coined. The IS" means that it is
from the San Francisco mint; ''cc"
that it was made at Carson City, and
30" that it was the work of the New
Orleans money-makers.
Besides the above you viii find some
very small letters occasionally. espe-
cially on the standard dollar, the Co
lumbar coins, and the 1898 design in
the quarters and half-dollar pieces. On
the standard dollar the letter is a
microscopic m on the left loop of the
ribbon which binds the wreath sur
rounding the eagle. Another I'm" of
larger dimensions may also be found
on the SAINT coin at the lower edge of
the hair These miniature letters are
private marks of Mason, the man who
made the lies.
On the Columbian coin we find a
clear-cut =, the initial of Barber, the
die-sinl1er.
Reference on the subject informs us
that it was formerly capital offense
for European die-sinlIer to mark his
coins, but from the enormous size of
the initials now used by most trades

APPLYING MOISTURE.
A New system OF sub-IrrIgation for
Early Crops.

OFopss
The amount of moisture required dur
ing the season cannot be controlled by
farmers and gardeners unless some
method is devised to permit of an un-
limited supply of water and to carry it
to the plants without involving great
expense. The windmill will provide
sufficieucy of water for a garden or
greenhouse, and the problem has been
how to apply moisture without injur-
ing the plants to a certain extent 1t is
well known that the only way to pro-
cure crops is to grow them under shell
ter in greenhouse, but the difficulty
has been that when the moisture was
applied directly on the plants the re-
suit was rot or mildew, lettuce being
attacked severely in some instances.
which is believed to be due TO the fire.
quent application of water TO the foli-
age.
If the moisture can be applied to the
roots of the plants, as required, the
difficulty may be avoided. To test the
matter the Ohio experiment station
used what is known as the sub-irriga-
tion method. According TO theory
green houses should be so constructed
as u permit of drainage, but expert
ments demonstrate that the theories
arc Incorrect Plants Of different spe-
cies, such as roses. violets, carnations,
lettuce, radishes, cucum bers, tomatoes
and caulifower were grown on benches
with water-tight bottoms. The result
was that me crops grew wonderfully,
lettuce escaping the rot entirely, ma
turing two weeks earlier, and yielding
twice the weight of crop Tomatoes
did not give as good results as some
other kinds, however. The method is
simple. The benches should have
water tight bottoms A few laths are
nailed to the bottom of the bench and
cement spread over the laths Drain
tile, of two and one-half inches in
diameter, is laid on the tile two feet
apart in the rows and six inches or
more of soil is then placed over the tile,
SO as to form seed bed Water is
then poured quickly into the ends of
the tile. which finds its way into the
soil, the joints of the tile not being
tight.
By the above method the water goes
directly to the roots, the top soil not
being baked, and the changes of tenn
perature do not so readily affect plant
ing, while the application of the moist
ure, through the agency of the tile. is
done in heater mar .er than with the
watering pot--Philadelphia Record.

The VERY LATEST.

We delayed until the evening mail
for Geographic news, giving full and
latest accounts of the strike, but i.did
not come. and so we had to 90 to press
without it. 1t seems that the strike
can even knock out the hopes of a
country editor and the expectations
Of his patrons. We give however the
very latest news in the following
synopsis:
All organized labor will strike to-
day and the conflict will be one un-
equaled in the worlds history 1t is
probable that two million people will
quit work. The leaders Of the strike
are themselves appalled, by the out
look. Grand-Master Sovereign orders
out one million workmen of the
Knights Of Labor, and President
Gompers is expected to order out all
trades unions.
Business will be entirely paralyzed
everywhere. Pullman will not arbi-
trate, and now the strikers say it is
the principle Of arbitration and not
matter Of wages that they viii con
test for.
Strikers are armed in San Francisco
and battle is hourly expected with
United States troops Federal sol
diers are on hand with Calling guns.
Oakland is also threatened by armed
strikers. Attempts have been
made to blow up the Pullman build
ing in Chicago Wisconsin has but
little trouble 50 far with strikers.
Some meat trains were sent out Of tie
stock yards under armed guards. If
Gompers does not order a general
strike there are some unions .hat viii
not 20 out. His favorable action the
last hope that everything everywhere
will not be stopped. A few rioters
are shot. General railroad managers
feel confident THAT the strike viii fall
Of its own weight and cannot last long.

ENGLISH SHEEP BREEDERS.
The Way I'm Which They Care for and
Manage Their FIocIxs.


Sheep farmers in England do not all
follow the same methods of care and
management of their fiocl1s, says John
Jackson, of Ontario. In some sections
where they have shaded permanent
pastures the sheep are allowed to roam
at large for portion OF the season. In
other parts of the country they are
folded in hurdles summer and winter
In some eases they are folded on
grass land, and moved every day; in
others they are kept in folds, the grass
being cut and fed in racks-in this case
they are moved at regular intervals, so
that in either case by this system the
land is regularly and evenly manured.
And again, in other cases, the land is
sown with vetches; the sheep are then
folded on this land. the vetehes being
cut forward of the fold. and also fed in
the racks. Another thing the flock
masters are very particular about is to
use nothing but first-class ram, even
in the focks that are only kept for wool
and mutton. They attend the ram
sales and buy the best they can get. /
know of breeder that sold last year
at the Cirencester ram sale forty rams
that brought enough money to pay the
rent on good farm of eight hundred
acres, and the most of these rams
would be bought for crossing.
But to determine just how far we
can follow the English practice of
management in our fiocks we must
first consider the different circum-
stances in which we are placed-our
hotter climate in summer, the more in
tense cold in winter, the smallness of
our 1ocks, cost of labor, value of the
product, etc. Yet in many ways, to
certain extent at least, we would do
well to follow their example in the
care and management of their foclxs.
And, while the hot sun and severe
frost may be against us to some extent,
our climate as whole is ahead of the
English climate for the health and
growth of sheen

AN ENGLISH SNAKE STORY.
The Weird Tale of the Terrible Dragon al
Sockburn Downs.


In the old English "chop'' book and
folklore stories the Yorkshire dragon
is always referred 20 as the Hampton
Worm" the word worm" meaning
snake or dragon; Hampton being the
name of the man who finally succeeded
in staying the hideous creature. An
other old-time English myth, scarcely
less popular than that of the Hampton
worm, is that of the Dragon of Sock
burn Downs. The name of the man
who slew the Sockburn nightmare is
still preserved, and is that of one of
the best known North Country fami-
lies. His tomb is still to be seen in the
ruins of the church at Sockburn, where
also he lay in effigy with rude sculp-
ture of the dragon at his feet. When
the old church had crumbled to an I'M
recognizable mass of stone and mortar,
the effigies of the hero and the worm"
were removed TO Sockburn hall.
Among the other relics preserved at
this hall may be seen the identical
falchion or sword with which the mon
ster was slain. Near by, almost in
sight of this miniature museum of rel
les, is gigantic bowlder, lying in the
midst Of Worm Field" Here, the
legend says. the creature attempted to
hide itself on the day when ii was pur-
sued and vanquished by the hero of
Sockburn Downs.
