spring to the house or barn at almost
no expense in money, and the labor of
digging a trench can be done at odd
times when other work is not pressing.
On hundreds and hundreds of farms the
stock is driven long distances to water
in stormy as well as pleasant weather,
and often with great discomfort to both
attendants and stock, when all the
while the water might be brought right
into the barn. If farmer could once
experience the satisfaction and profit
of having a supply Of water thus a,
hand and under cover, he would never
permit possible opportunity to secure
this convenience to go to waste. With
the water in the barn, moreover, there
is no longer need for the stock to drink
ice water for five months of the year.

Hints on Storing Potatoes.

The following plan for preventing
them from sprouting in spring will be
found useful when many are placed in
the cellar for family use; it destroys
the eyes or buds, after which they
never start, consequently the tubers dc
not become shriveled and tough: Be.
fore placing them in the cellar leave
the tubers for an hour in a solution OF
sulphuric acid, about ~ pints to 2.
gallons Of water, the whole being thor.
oughly mixed; after removing from
this bath they should be spread out tc
dry, then placed in barrels. The solu.
ton also prevents decay. Such potatoes
will never grow under any circum.
stances, 80 those intended for planting
should not be 30 treated.-Farmers'
Review.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Feed so as to make the most out OF
the feed, as well as the most out of the
stock.
1t is cheaper to kill and cure sufii.
ciept meat now than to buy next spring
or summer.
AS soon as the ground freezes hard
apply more covering to the fruit and
vegetable pits.
After an animal is reasonably well
fattened the lighter feeding usually be-
comes less profitable.
1t is generally those farmers who
need the education the least who at
tend the farmers institutes in the
largest numbers.
The team that is expected to do the
hauling during the winter should be
well shod, and should have good blan-
kets to protect them at any time they
may be left standing in the cold.-N. j.

STRAW AS FERTILIZER.
Its Value Can BE Placed at Two
Dollars a Ton.

The actual value of straw for the fer.
tilizing elements in the straw itself
! may be roughly estimated at about two
! dollars per ton or n little more, taking
all the varions straws into considera-
| ton. Glover haulm, from which the
seed has been threshed and which has
lost its leaves, must be reckoned con-
siderably higher, and we should say
at three times that amount, although
we have not reliable analysis at hand
on which 10 base our estimate. But
the importance of using straw as bed
ding in the stables does not depend
upon the value of the straw as fer
tilizer, but first upon the value of a
warm, dry and comfortable bed for the
animals, purpose which may be served
by other material, as sslwdust or leaves,
and second upon its power of absorbing
liquids. Straw easily absorbs twice its
own weight, and when tina, consists of
the liquid excrements of the animal.
it makes the soaked straw actually
more valuable than the solid droppings
of the animals. 1t saves and conveys
to the soil in form readily available
for plant food, all the nitrates, phos-
pilates and potash which are passed off
from the system in that way. 1t has
also a mechanical effect in tightening
up a heavy soil, making ii porous. more
absorbent of moisture, more easily
penetrated by plant roots, and also by
frost and air, both of which have i'm
portant effects in working the chemical
changes there which make mineral
matters more readily available. We do
not think the haulm from clover or
other hay threshed for the seed makes
as good bedding as straw, and neither
does corn stover, but either of them
contain more fertilizing elements than
wheat or oat straw, and il cut in pieces
of an inch long they have nearly as
much absorbent power. 1t is a mistake
10 put either of these into the manure
without cutting them. because they
have not then opportunity TO absorb
so much Of the liquid, and because more
extra labor is necessary to handle the
manure with these long stalks in it
than would be required to reduce them
to inch-long pieces. The same thing
may be said of potato. tomato, squash
and other vines. If cut short they make
valuable additions to the manure heap.
but If put in uncut they are nuisance.

To Master n Kicking Cow,

There are few things around farm
that are more exasperating than n
balky horse or kicking COW. No
trouble will be had with the latter if
this plan is tried: Take two straps
with buckle on the end of each.
Buckle one of them about the animals
hind legs just above the big joint and
back of the udder. This should not be
loose enough to slip over the joint, ar i
not tight enc ,gh to prevent slipping
the other strap through it. Slip the
second strap through the first and
then buckle around the other leg the
same as the first, and draw up until the
legs are held close together. You can
then proceed in safety with the milk
ing. Your cow will neither kick nor
run away.-J. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.

best way to fasten the sides to the

Spouts with "cut offs" for drawing

which corn can be drawn from a
crib very nicely. The opening in the
crib should be not less than 16 inches
square and the shoot, the same size,

40 degrees. 1t should be about two
feet long. The bottom Is in two

portion Of the bottom Is simply

IMITATION BUTTER.
Every Pound of II Should Have
Stamped on 1t the Ingredients
of Which Ii Is Composed.

The healthfulness of oleomargarine
is a question that is constantly being
considered. The difficulty of properly
answering the question is increased by
the fact that the oleomargarine of to-
day is not necessarily the oleomargar-
inc of tomorrow, and the oleomargar-
inc that Is turned out by one factory
is not the same as that turned out by
another. Chemists have now discov-
cred that some oleomargarine contains
paratfin, to give it firmer composition.
Paratfin by itself is indigestible, and it
may also be indigestible when incor-
porated with the fats that compose
oleomargarine, but we are not yet GER
tain of that point, for the reason
that no one appears to have investigat-
ed what parafiin will do in such COM
bination. 1t may be less harmful than
by itself or it may be more harmful.
It may be that the union Of paraffin
with fat permits some Of it to get
through the tissues with the fat, and
there it may work all kinds Of mis-
chief-or it may not. However, people
do not care to take their chances on
such uncertainties. 1t is manifestly
the duty of the government to ascer-
tain such facts for the people. If par
affin is to be sold as butter we should
at least know what effect it will have
when taken into the human system.
We believe that every pound of oleo-
margarine that goes out should have
stamped on the package containing it
the ingredients that are used in its
manufacture, including all the preserv-
atives.-Farmers' Review.

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes who use this STANDARD artl.
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent
better than other cements, for which similar
claims are made, but a great many do not
know why. The simple reason Is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever dlscov-
cred and other manufacturers 90 not use
them, because they are too expensive and do
not allow large profits, Mr.. Major tells US
one Of the elements OF his cement costs S3.75
pound, and another costs S2.Gj a gallon.
while large share Of the sO-called cemeuts
and fluid glue upon the market are nothing
more than siXteen-cent glue. dissolved In
mortar or citric acid, and, In some cases, al
teted slightly 10 color and OdOr by the addi-
tiOn Of cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retalls at fifteen cents and
twenty-five ceuts bottle, and when dealer
tries 10 sell substitute you candepend upon
II that his only object Is 10 make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement Is as much as
any dealer ought TO make on any cement.
Andthis is doubly true In view OF the fact
that each dealer gets his share OF the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising, which now
amounts 10 over 5000 month, throughout
the country.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
offhand advice from adrnggls..
Always have a supply Of Majors Cements
on hand.

does not destroy the nerve; further, it
again fixes the tooth and makes it pos.

A LODGE FLOAT.
The LO.0.F. to Take Part in the Parade
Other Lodges Will Do the Same.

unanimously To have a fine frdterual
float in the flower parade next Sep
tem0er. J w. Haughey, Geo. L.
Pitts aud Geo. II. Bloom were ap.
pointed Committee To design and
construct the float. The Odd Fell
lows lodge OF Wellington VIII DO
more than build float. They will
invite the various other lodges in the
county 10 be represented in the pa
ade, aud will, If possible, have an Odd
Fellows division in line. There are
ten 10 OH. lodges in the COUNTY
sufficient number tn make quite a
showing
The Odd Fellows lodge is not the
only lodge that will Se represented 10
the parade, however. All the lodges
will be asked to JOIN in the movement.
and the most Of them will probably
decide to build flats. There are some
thirty societies in the city aud If they
all take hold OF it will he able to yet
up fraternal division for lhe parade
a mile long.
The more prominent OF the secret
societies have lodges in the various
small towns in the county. BY inter
esting them in the float idea, it is
posi- ole to awaken an interest in the
jubilee in the small towns that could
not be accomplished in any other
manner. The jubilee is going to be a
Sumner county affair, and the entire
county should be invited to take part
in each and every feature.
