CRATE FOR SHIPPING HOGS.

then when made into crates each one is
treated to coating or two of paint.
All saw fuzz is removed by sharp jack
plane. The crate is put together with
wire nails.
For the sides and tops use one-half by
four inches and four feet, IL pieces,
and equally divide the space. The bot
tom is in one piece one inch thick, IS
inches wide and four feet long less one
inch. Front end contains one piece one
half by ten by IS inches, and two half
by four by IS inches, each. The rear or
door end has two pieces one-half by
2H by 1S inches for inside cross strips
top and bottom, and two outside top
and bottom strips one-half by four by
IS inches, with two upright strips one
half by 2h by % inches for each side
of the movable door, and to which are
fastened the side strips. The door is
one-half by eight by 90 inches, and is
held firmly to place by wire nail
driven partially in at top end. The
corner posts in front end are one by two
by % inches, and on the inside of them
is fastened board one half by eight
by IS inches. which forms with the out
side board feed space of two inches
in width in front end of crate. The
board on the inside comes within an
inch of the bottom. where a trough is
made by lacking in n piece of board
one-half by four by IS inches, at L slant
of about the same degree as shown by
one side of the letter V. When ready to
ship. place crate in the wagon and back
up to the driveway door in the hog
house, which is on level with the
wagon bed, and you can load or crate
the hogs with ease; then put feed in
the box at end of crate. and it will
drop down as it is eaten from the
trough, thus affording plenty of food
for the hog until the end of the jour
ney. Water can be given in the trough,
Mt intervals, by those having the ami
NAL in charge. In such crate, bedded
with straw, the hog should reach its
destination o K.-Farm and Home.

min. I'm water Made Fragrant by
Flowers and Herbs.
For hardening and strengthening the
muscles of neck, shoulders, arms and
limbs nothing Is more efficacious than
hath of flowers or herbs. Any woman
osniring to resemble the heroine in
.Daniel Deronda," who always emerged
from her bath looking "like freshly
dipped swan" is becoming initiated in
The mysteries of these refreshing and
fragrant dips.
Rose leaves, crushed violets, hay flow
.rs oat straw, shave grass and pine
snrig-these form the foundation of
tbe flower or herb bath, and conse-
ouently excursions to the garden, the
feld or the hay rack will be In order
IN summer. The flower bath is taken
warm, followed by a cold shower and
n vigorous rubbing until arms and
neck shine like glistening marble, are
Arm of texture and smooth as satin.
All these baths are prepared in the
same manner. Boiling water should
be poured upon bags of the different
blossoms or herbs, each bag contain
ing from one-half to one pound of mate
rial and the whole allowed to boil for
ten minutes; the vessel is then taken
from the fire and allowed to partly
cool. when it is added to the prepared
bath.
Hay flowers consist of the remains of
stalks, leaves, blossoms and seeds. even
the hay itself. An oat-straw bath is
made by boiling the stalks and heads
Of oats for one-half hour in kettle and
then pouring the decoction into the
tub. Shave grass is prepared in the
same manner by boiling the stem. cone
and spore. Equisetum arvesne is the
botanical name of shave grass, which
is a medicinal herb of great value.
Taken internally in form of tea it
purifies the stomach; externally in the
bath it washes away and dissolves all
that is injurious. The uses of the herb
are manifold; for instance, in cases of
violent bleeding at the nose a decoc-
ton of shave grass drawn up into the
nostrls gives immediate relief. A sup
ply of shave grass should be kept in
every home dispensary, that in time of
need il may be quickly at hand
For the pine-sprig bath gather the
sprigs, the fresher the better, small
branches, even resinous pine cones. cut
them in bits, put into bag and boil for
one-half hour. The chief effect of n
pne-sprig bath is on the skin, which is
brought into activity by it. and on the
blood vessels. which it strengthens.
Moreover it is fragrant and delightful.
For the mixed bath herbs and flowers
of various kinds are used; this is in
case the due quantity of any one can
not be procured.
A word apropos of the duration of
such tubbings. A warm flower bath
may last one-quarter hour. followed by
a cold shower lasting possibly one
minute, no longer. Flower and herb
baths may be taken two or three times
n week.-Eleanor Lexington, in Amer
lean Queen.

SELECTING SEED CORN.
IT should BE Done AS Soon ms the Grain
Is Hardened.

In many localities the hot, dry
weather we had in July and the early
part of August affected the quantity
and yield of the corn to such an extent
that it will be an item next spring to
secure good seed corn. The safest and
best plan is to lay in the needed supply
this fall and store it away where il will
keep in good condition.
The best time to select the seed corn
is in the fall as soon as the grain is
well hardened. In addition to making
sure of good supply, selecting IN the
field ip the fall affords better oppor-
tunity for making the best selection, as
the stalk as well as the ear can be
considered, which, of course, cannot
be done after the corn is cribbed.
When the conditions of growth will
admit the best seed corn is that which
is selected from what is grown on the
farm, provided, of course, that proper
care is taken in the selection.
When the first selection is made it
is always best to select rather larger
quantity than will be needed. This
gives an opportunity of making Sec
ond selection. One item in selecting the
ears is to choose those that are well
filled both at the tip and at the butt.
The grain should be sound and deep.
While it is difficult to secure very
large ear without fairly good-sized
cob, yet getting ears with deep grains
will make a considerable difference in
the size of the cob. So far as can be
done the ears should be uniform in
color, shape, of grain and time of ma
turity.
After sufficient quantity is secured
II should be thoroughly dried, and then
stored where it will keep dry and be
safe from vermin. One of the most
serious objections TO taking seed corn
from a crib in the spring is the risk
that its vitality may have been injured
by it's being damp when thrown into
the crib or while standing in the field
and then being frozen. Exposure to
cold does not injure the vitality when
the grain is thoroughly dry, but IL damp
1t is often seriously injured by frost.
Good seed is so essential to a good
growth and yield that it will be good
economy to use all reasonable care to
secure q full supply.-St. Louis Repub-

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Wash the harness with soap and
water before oiling.
Do you waste your corn fodder?
Must have money to burn.
Corn fodder may be shredded, but
not perfectly. by running it through an
old threshng machine.
A threshing machine boiler that is
too small to do the work, is always
dangerous from over-pressure.
A farmer says that he kills Canada
thistles in the pasture by piling ma
nure on them thick enough to smother
them.
Put buggy beans or peas in tight box
and put little cup of bisulphide Of
carbon on top, being careful that no
fire Is near.
Wheat, independent Of interest on
land, ought to be grown at six dollars
an acre at most. Eight, or even ten
bushels, per acre, will not pay.
Be careful to sow only the cleanest
timothy seed. Weeds in timothy make
bad work, worse than clover, though
they are bad enough there.-Western
Plowman.

For the sachet nag.

A recipe for sweetly perfumed sachets
never comes amiss, and as the one given
here is detested by moths just as in
finitely as it Is enjoyed by human be-
ings, the mixture is well worth max
ing. Take one ounce each of cloves,
nutmeg, cinnamon, carraway seeds,
mace and tonka beans, pound to pow
der, and mix them with six ounces OF
orris root, which must also be in pow
der. These ingredients may be OBJ
tanned ready crushed at good drug
pist's. The best bag in which they
can be inclosed is one of not overtime
muslin. and the miller's sack design,
with the opening tied round with rib
hon. is a good one.

Wells are often dug in depressions, the
idea being that in such places springs
of water are most apt to be found. But
II so dug the well should be stoned and
cemented for IL or more feet from the

find entrance. The deeper springs will

Cloth Dyed on Both sides.

In England a new method is being
employed for dyeing cloth different
color on each side, doing away with
the necessity for lining. At first it
is dyed through in the usual manner.
1t is then taken to n printing machine
provided with roller engraved with
deeply cut diagonal lines, running in
one direction over its surface, and with
diagonal lines cut less deeply running
in an opposite direction. This roller is
dipped in a bath of thickened color
and carried up to the cloth. 1t is so
adjusted that the second color is kept
from penetrating the piece more than
half way. After it is applied the cloth
Is finished in the ordinary way.-Chi-

TAN AND SUNBURN.
The Light Not the Heat of the Sun Re-
sponsiblc for Them.

While il was formerly believed that
the suns heat was responsible for tan
and sunburn, it has now been proven
colors the skin. Persons exposed to
sunlight on mountain tops, at low tenn
perature, are burned as if they had
undergone heat as well. Painful burns
often result from light reflected from
snow and water. Persons exposed TO
severe heat in mines, firerooms of steam
ers and rolling mills do not become
working in the sun. The present the
DRY is that the actinic rays of sunlight
produce tan or sunburn. These rays
affect chemically certain substances
upon which they fall. Blue or violet
rays have much greater effect upon a
sensitive plate than red rays, and
this is also true of the human skin.
Red glass allows red light rays to pass
through it freely and rejects the COM
Elementary blue rays. Blue glass adj
nts blue or violet rays and excludes
red A red fabric would be the most
elective protection against sunburn.
Blue is most undesirable color for
wells. a woman, member of party
of tourists, wore a striped red and white
waist during long exposure to suns
rays. She found herself burned in
stripes. the white affording no pfot$c-
ton, as all rays pass through 1t. The
pigment or coloring matter of the skin
is the portion which receives the chem
ical action of the sunlight. 1t is not
definitely known why some people
burn red, while others freckle or tan.
The darkening of the skin is an effort of
nature to protect the sensitive parts
beneath. The darker the surface upon
which sunlight falls, the more difficult
it is for ii to penetrate. Wind and
heat by irritating the skin sometimes
produce congestion which predisposes
to the effect of the suns rays.-Chicago
