A THUNDERSTORM.
Its Formation Is Something Few of U
Understand.


Understand.
The formation Of thunder storm Is
one of the familiar things that few Of
us know anything about 1t. That
sounds like contradiction. but II. Is
not, for while we are familiar enough
with the impressive spectacle made by
the clouds IS they gather and with the
sometimes disastrous and always star
ting effects of the storm when II
breaks over us, how many Of us can
trace it back to its origin, step by
step. and tell how and where 1t got its
terrible power? Let us try to do this.
There is no doubt that the electric
charge Of a Ui0ud Osr.aca- fresa1- mini
tial charge multiplied by induction.
The initial charge may be acquired By
evaporation. for we know that cleo.
tricity may be generated in that way.
Or 1t may be generated by the friction
Of vapor-laden air, which, moving as
wind, comes in contact with objects on
the earth's surface. This vapor is COM
posed of very minute particles OF wat
er, each of which becomes electrified,
the charge accommodating on its sur
face. Now. as these particles of drops
come together and are condensed into
larger drops the surface area is re-
duced in proportion to the volume and
an increased electric accumulation Is
the result. In other words, when two
drops are condensed into one. there is
the same quantity Of water and Of
electricity was when the drops were
separate, but there is good deal less
surface. and the electric charge Is in
tensified to that extent. The drops so
formed attract smaller drops by their
greater power. and thus condensation.
with continual increase Of power, goes
on rapidly and thundercloud begins
to form. AS the cloud is sent forward
by the wind 1t affects the earth's sur
face by induction, and the earth's
surface affects it In the same way, the
cloud becoming positively and the
earth negatively charged. This goes
on rapidly. electric energy being con-
tinually drawn to the cloud from the
air, and the same quantity being re-
PEELED from the earth below. Thus it
is that the thundercloud forms SO
quickly and acquires so great an cleo
tric power.

SHOES FOR HOUSES.
tighter Ones Are Now Considered Best
on the Farm.

Lighter Ouos ARC NOW Sonsiuereu Best
on tho Farm.
The wear and tear on horsafiesh
niakes quite an item on the farm, and
anything that will reduce this fric-
ton for farmers should be welcomed.
1t has been proven beyond dispute
that the average horse is shod with
too heavy shotes, and IL lighter ones
were substituted the animal could do
more work with less WEAKNESS. Heavy
shoes have no particular advantage
except for large truck horses on stone
roads where shoes wear out quickly.
Even in such cases it is doubtful if too
heavy shoes prove of any value. Ger
tainly for farm horses light shoes are
much more satisfactory. The effects
OF such a change are quite noticeable
shortly after they are put on, and in a.
years time the extra amount of work
that Is obtained from horse will
more than pay for the shorter time
that light shoes may wear. The main
object of the shoe is 10 protect the
hoof, and the lighter it can be made
and serve its purpose the better it is
for the horse. A good part of the
year horses on the farm would be bet
ter off without shoes. and they can do
p!oughing and similar work in soft
fields without in any way injuring the
feet. In winter, when the ground Is
frozen, it Is quite different, and shoes
seem necessary at these times. A horse
weighing LOO pounds should gener-
ally be shod with shoes weighing not
more than twelve to fifteen ounces
each. II four ounces are added to
each shoe, the total difference in the
animals shoes Is sixteen ounces. In
blowing, cultivating, moving and
reaping farm horse will walk ten to
twenty miles day. II it takes about
four feet each step the horse will lift
half pound extra on its two fest or
600 pounds in every mile. If we take
the average days work fifteen miles,
the horse viii lift $500 pounds extra
day, or nearly FIVE tons. The energy
required to lift this amount is wasted
and serves no useful purpose. II it
could be expended in doing extra
work that would pay, it would near
ly pay the animals keep. Leg weary
horses common on the farm and leg
weary horses are apt to break down
In time and have crooked and a.ling
limbs. 1t is not only matter OF hui
manity, but one of profit to tighten
the horses burden all we can, and this
Is one good way.

The milk organs are quite intimate
ly concerned in the productive capacity
of the cow, as it Is in these that the
milk and butter fat are finally elab-
GRATED from the food. 1t is not alto
gether clearly understood how the milk
Is made in the gland, but it seems
quite probable that it is produced by
the ephithelial cells within the udder.
So far as is known, the quantity OF
milk that can be produced depends in
a large part upon the number and
activity of these cells. The number
Of such cells is limited by the size OF
the udder and the amount OF fatty It's
sue 1t contains. The dairy COW should
therefore nave large udder capacity.
the larger the better, but the size OF
the udder should not be due to any
large amount of fat or flesh. There
should be an elasticity of the tissue,
with a shrinkage Of the udder when
empty. The udder should have con-
siderable surface, extending far for
ward and well up behind. 1t should
be well balanced and symmetrical in
shape, indicating good development in
all quarters; for the more perfectly
developed the organ is, the larger the
amount of milk 1t will be likely to
yield. 1t should be spread consider
ably from side to side also, while the
teats should be even and squarely
placed. To make room for such a ca
pacious. well-developed udder. the
hind legs Of the cow should be wide
apart. the thighs should be thin, and
the tanks high arched.
The activity OF the udder, or the
amount of work done in 1t, is indi-
Gated to some extent by the quantity
OF blood that passes through 1t, which
depends quite largely upon the capac-
ity Of the blood vessels which are con-
nected Herewith. 1t is important,
therefore, that there should be strong
and full development Of the arteries
and veins Of the udder and abdomen.
The milk veins should be large and
elastic, should extend well to the
front, and should enter the abdomen
through large or numerous oritices.
thus permitting strong flow OF blood
through them with minimum OF re-
sistance as 1t returns to the heart
Besides these veins, there Is a net
work Of them in the fore quarters OF
the udder, and still others pass up
ward behind, which. when large. In

4 Noted Knight Temp|ar

Colonel T. P. Moody. q prominent

In recent letter from 5000 Michi-
gan avenue. Chicago. ILL.,, Mr.. Moody
says the following:
"For over twenty-five years !
suffered from cafarrh, and for
over ten years I suffered from
cafarrh of the stomach terribly.
"Ihave taken all kinds of medi-
cines and have been treated by
all kinds of doctors, as thousands
of my acquaintanccs are aware
In different parts of the United
STATES, where Ihave Travelled, but
the relief was only temporary.
until a Effie over a year ago I
started to take Peruna, and at the
present time I am better than 1
have been for twenty years.
1.-The soreness has left my sfom-
ach entirely and am free from
Indigestion and dyspepsia and will
say to all who are troubled with
catarrh or stomach trouble of any
kind. don't put it off and suffer,
bur begin to take Peruna right
away, and keep it up until you
are cured. as you surely will be If
you persevere.
NY wife. as many in the southwest
can say, was troubled with bad cough
and bronchial trouble. and doctors all
over the country gave her up to die,
ias they could do nothing more for her.
She began taking Peruna with the re-
Ssult that she is better now than she
has been in years, and her cough has
almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as well
as she ever was in her life. with
thanks. as she says. to Peruna. Yours
very truly, T. P. Moody.
Cata-rh IN ifs various forms Is rap
Idly becoming a general curse. An
undoubted remedy has been dlscov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy has
been thoroughly tested during the past
forty years. Prominent men have
come to know Of its virtues. and are
making public utterances on the sub
1ect. To save the country We must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn of cure is ca

piled to catarrh in different locations

There is no doubt that skim milk is
a great feed for hogs. but sometimes
too much is claimed for even skim
milk. When man claims to 'fatten"
hogs on skim milk we confess our ere
dulity is stretched to the breaking
point. AS is well known. skim milk is
rich in the elements that make muscle
and sinew. but deficient in the ele-
ments that make fat. Thus, skimmi.k
Is excellent for developing the frame
of the pig. but after that some fat
making food must be brought In to
finish the hogs for market. Skim
milk Is excellent as partial ration.
but nothing is gained by claiming
every virtue for it.

The Canadian Hog.

A Canadian newspaper correspond
ent writes: The big demand, this sea-
son, for hog products, both for the
home markets and for export, has
materially reduced stocks. In some
lines supplies are almost cleaned
up, and there is talk OF the ne
cessity OF importing the product
at an early date from the United
States There has been a good profit
in hogs this year. Feed is more abun-
dant. That has contributed to the In
crease of the hog crop. The high
standard maintained by the Canadian
packers has been the means of increas-
ing the demand In the British mar
kets, and generally fostering the indus

IL was inevitable that sooner or
later the great trusts would grow in
the direction of handling agricultural
products. and would be able to dictate
prices to both producers and consum-
ers. 1t is reported that great COM
bine Of poultry handlers has been
formed in New York, and all indica-
tions point to the fact that few men
have been for long time absolutely
controlling the live poultry business in
that city. Not only has this trust
been formed. but 1t has become pow
'erful enough to enlist the public Of
ificials in its favor and prevent new
men from going into the business. II
Is said to exercise a good deal of It's
power through the board of health.
I ne trust is called the Greater New
York Live Poultry Dealers Associa-
ton. 1t is incorrect perhaps to call
1t trust, but 1t is in all senses such.
with the exception that each company
keeps its own accounts. Last spring
a new man wanted to go into business
on the East Side and announced his
intention Of dealing with the pro-
ducers direct and not through the
trust This at once brought the en-
nifty of the great association. and from
April to October he has been asking
in vain to get permit. At last he
has taken 1t into the court and the
board OF health has been summoned
to give a good reason for not grant
ing the permit. These trusts spring
into existence without the public
knowing anything OF them, as they are
on their face only associations OF men
OF like interest. There is no doubt
that such combines exist in Chicago
and other large cities and that they
are every day becoming more power
full.
