stood as 1t Should Be.
Irrigation is being adopted by the sue
cessful gardeners and small-fruit grow
ers throughout the world. The fact
that water can be applied to fruits and
vegetables at any time required is
enough argument to convince anyone
of the value of irrigation. Thorough
tests in the rain belt regions have DEM
onstrated that irrigation makes better
favored products and more than doubles
the yield. In this sense the application
of moisture by the hand of man has be-
come a science. Although practiced
for the past 5000 years, and a
necessity in the production Of crops
in two-thirds of the world, irrigation
is but little understood by many of the
best farmers and gardeners in the
United States. The science dispels
droughts, and makes crops annual sue
cesses. At best, the rain dependence

STREAMING THE MILK.

No work on the farm should be more
carefully done than the straining of
milk. A strainer made with a wire

writer has found the strainer illustrated
herewith simple, cheap and perfect in
its work. A is simply a large funnel,

stomach, the bowels perform their functions
regularly, and the liver works like clock
work. Malaria has no effect upon a system

SLEIGH BELLS OF GREAT AGE.
Wisconsin Man Has Two Strings
Which Possess Quite History.

Two strings of sleigh bells now In
possession OF Charles H. Stoddard OF
Prairie du Sac attract more than the
usual amount of attention bestowed on
the relics of Wisconsins sleighing
days Mr.. Stoddard believes. they are
1870 years old, as near as he can figure
They were brought from Vermont
80 years ago by Carlos Grow, whose
widow, now in Boston, presented them
to Mr.. Stoddard. The Grows were
stage drivers between Baraboo and
Prairie du Sac. and it is said their
father before them followed the same
business. The bells were cast in Eng
land and brought TO America previous
to revolutionary times and have been
handed down from one generation to
another, Carlos Grow being the last
member of the family, who recently
died, leaving them In possession of
Mrs Grow, who, because OF friendship
toward Mr. Stoddard, presented them
to him.
The bells are remarkable fGr their
size and tone The middle jingler on
the string measures four inches in
diameter, the others on each side of
the large enc tapering down to or
binary size In former days It was
customary for the Grows and Stoddards
to hitch up four horses to a sleu and
take out parties.
The bells could be heard and recog-
nized from their peculiar tone four and
five miles away. Mr. Stoddard has
been offered large sums for the bells
by relic hunters, but he refuses TO part
with them at any price. 1t is said that
at one time there was not a citizen OF
Sank county who could not distinguish
the Grow ringers from any other string
used in the county
