To Make the Farm Fay.

One OF the greatest hindrances to
profitable farming Is a desire to go too
fast at first and to purchase things we
could get along without. The obliging
agents tell you that you need not trou-
bic about the money; your note will
do just as well; but you will find that
you must pay big interest for the priv
lcge of going In debt, and you are al
ways at a disadvantage to your cre,ii'
tor. Have the money ready to pay,
and you can then make your half Of tne
bargain. Take good care of your farm
and your stock, and they will furnish
the money for necessary OUTLAWS.

A New Calendar.

1t Is suggested that on Jan. i. 1900,
a new division of the year into thirteen
months be instituted. If such divis-
ion were made the first twelve months
would have twenty-eight days, or four
weeks each, and the new month twenty
nine days, to make 1855 and thirty in
leap years. After a few days there
would be no need to refer to calendars,
as the same day of the week would have
the same date through the year. II
January / were say Monday, every
Monday would be In the LIST, 9Th, 18th
and ODD; every Tuesday the 2. 9th, 10th,
and 23d, and so on through the year.
The changes of the moon would be on
about the same dates through the year,
and many calculations, like interest,
dates Of maturity notes, Easter, and
many other important dates would be
simplified. Although the present gen.
GRAFTON would have to figure new dates
for birthdays and all legal holidays ex-
cept New Year would be on different
dates, yet the gain would be more than
the loss, as that would be permanent,
and the objections trifling. Scientific

water,sunpI;ea bv s;pbop.

Siphoning water is one OF the SIM
plest methods of getting a supply for ir-
rigation or building. Where there Is a
body of water about the buildings, but
separated from them by such n height
of ground or ridge that water will not
naturally flow through pipe from the
supply to the source of consumption, 1t
is often possible to use a siphon. A
siphon consists of tube bent at a
point nearer one end than at the other,
giving long and a short arm. IL the
tube be filled with water, the column
of water in the long arm is heavier
than the column in the short arm. AS
the heavier column starts to run down
out of the tube, a vacuum is created at
the bend, and the lighter column of
water in the short arm Is constantly
forced up to fill the constantly produc-
ed vacuum at the bend, the stream be-
ing thus made constant. The water
must first be started through any large
pipe by a pump, but when once the
flow is started, there is no need for the
pump. If the pipe and the shut-off are
perfectly alright, the stream will be-
gin to fiow again when turned on.-Ag-

AN ENGLISH COMPANY TO PUT
THEM m USE IN LONDON.
Claimed that Electrical Automobiiism
Has Been Solved By the Patents
Held BY the company-Three Hum
dred and Fifty Cabs Purchased.
Fast, cheap, Noiseless.


While French enterprise is expectant-
ly awaiting the perfection Of the horse
less carriage on the gasoline or gas en-
CINE principle before embarking ex-
tensiye capital In 90 new a field, the
English have found practicable auto
mobolism by the use Of electricity as a
motive power and have already put II
to a practical application. A company
has already been formed, known as the
London Electrical Cab Company, with
a capital Of $7DO.00O and In the course
of a few weeks $50 cabs, most of which
are already built, will be started In the
streets Of London.
1t y claimed by the projectors of this
company that electrical automobilism
has been practically solved by the
mechanism whose patents they hold
and the amount Of the capital these
men have invested In the enterprise Ia
certainly the guarantee Of the good
faith Of their claim. The statement will
pass without contradiction that, wheth.
er or not II really has solved the great
problem of the times, the company GER
tatnly believes that II has. A.
Parliament recently passed the road
locomotives act, which authorized me-
chemically driven wheels to pass along
the Queens highways at rate OF speed
not to exceed fourteen miles an hour
It was the passage Of this act that
started the company some months age
upon the scent for thoroughly prac'
ticable automobile cab. They engaged

lish electrical engineer as their cleo
trical manager, securing with him the
right to use his electric vehicles and the
sole use of the important horseless car
riage patents belonging to the British
motor syndicate.
Previous to taking this step the COM
pany thoroughly investigated all the
autocar inventions in the field. BY turn
they studied gasoline, petroleum, ben
zoline, and the various explosive oil and
spirit powers, with the result that they
discarded them all as powers for use
in such crowded thoroughfares as
those Of London. No choice was then
left but electricity, and when the inves-
tigators examined the contrivances
whose rights they have since purchased
they unhesitatingly decided that they
had the solution of the vexed problem.

Treatment of BaIky Horses.

Treatment of BaIky Horses.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
press continually admonishes whom 1t
may concern that 1t does no good to
whip or pound a balky horse, almost
every owner or driver of one does 1t to-
day. 1t is probably the greatest piece
of horse folly in existence. 1t Is not
remnant Of barbarism, but 1t is contin-
ued barbarity, and brings out what
original sin there is In a man.
The brain of horse can retain but
one idea at time. II the idea Is to
sulk, whipping only intensifies 1t. A
change of that idea, then, Is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores of
ways, a few of which are here named:
Tie handkerchief about his eyes;
tie his tail to the bellyband or back
band; fasten a stick in his mouth; tie a
cord tightly around his leg; clasp his
nostrils and shut his wind off until he
wants to go; unhitch him from the We
hicle and then hitch him up again, or
almost any way to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always be
gentle. There are more balky drivers
than horses.-National Stockman.

that this food so encourages the devei-
