realize how much the century has given
to agriculture and to grasp the still
sterner truth that success anywhere,
everywhere means hard work and
much hard work. How many would
continue If wheat were now scattered
by the handful, cut with a cradle and
threshed with a fail? Where would be
the wheat fields of California? How
many would plant corn with hoe, and
largely cultivate with the same primi-
tive implement? Where would be the
forests Of corn in Missouri? The farmer
who is tussling with the question of
making all improved agricultural ma
chinery serve his best interests in Or
der to have time for studying the intri-
cate and complicated problems of his
farm operations, rather than bemoan-
ing his lot. is the one whom all his
neighbors proclaim as $50 luckyv' Pom
der the '1uck" problem and see If it
isn't working along the most advanced
and progressive lines.

The increase in the use of pure bred
rams to grade up the sheep is account
able not only for the larger clips Of
wool, but for the increased demand for
mutton and lamb in our markets. To
use grade ram is poor economy when
the pure bred can be bought as cheaply
as now, and the larger profits in both
lambs ana wool will soon repay the
cost of really good sire to head the
flock. There has been much said and
written about the large profit to be
made in having lambs dropped in the
fall or early winter and ready to sell in
the spring, but unless one has a place
well fitted up so that the lambs can be
kept warm we doubt if there is much
more profit in them than in spring
lambs. The extra care and extra feed
take no small part of the extra price

vane on coming into the wind. The
size and power Of these motors are lin
tied only by the length of arms and
axis and the area of the vanes, which
will depend, in turn, upon the use to
which it is to be put and the pocket
book of the owner.
"The power will be considerable with
very little expense, as an arm of 10
feet in length will support vane of 10
feet square-that is to sag, surface Of
100 square feet to be opposed to the
wind. With a fair wind this would be
equal to several horsepower. Probably
vanes one-fourth that size, by feet,
would suffice for ordinary pumping, es-
pecially if placed on arms of 10 feet in
length.
"The vertical axis must be high
enough to reach above wind obstruc-
tions, yet in case Of the motor being
placed on a barn or on a tank with a
tower the axis could be considerably re-
duced. The manner Of supporting the
axis, as well as the means of transfer
ring its slow rotary motion to machin-
cry, is left to the judgment of the read
er in each particular case. For most
purposes a large sprocket wheel with
the usual linked chain would seem to
be most suitable. See figures in the
second cut, which illustrates connecting
windmill with chain and sprocket.

Victoria an Execution.

Queen Victoria is the first sovereign
of England who ever had anything to
leave. All of her predecessors upon the
throne bequeathed to their posterity
fine assortments of debts, which parlia-
ment was called upon to pay. and while
Victoria permitted the people to be tax
ed to settle the obligations of her
uncles, George Nv. and William ~, she
paid the debts of her father, the duke of
Kent, with her own money with full in
terest, and has several times settled TIE
liabilities Of the Prince of Wales to the
extent of several millions of dollars.

Milk and Thunder.

From various experiments respecting
connection between thnnderstorms and
the souring of milk Prof. b. w. Conn
draws the conclusion that electricity is
not of itself capable of souring milk
or even of materially fastening the
process, nor can the ozone developed
during the thunderstorm be looked
upon as of any great Importance It
seems probable that the connection be-
tween the thunderstorm and the sour
ing of milk is of a different character.
Bacteria grow most rapidly in the
warm, sultry conditions which usually
precede thunderstorm, and it will fire.
quently happen that the thunderstorm
and the souring occur together not be-
cause the climatic conditions which
have brought the storm have at the
same time been such as to cause un-
usually rapid bacteria growth.

Farm Wells.

Farm Well9s
The location of the well on the farm is
of the greatest Importance. In many in
stances the farmer starts his well near
the buildings and yards, and selects
the lowest point as location, with the
idea that he will not have to dig as
deep as he would upon higher land.
This is often a mistake, as we know of
several places in a village where the
wells near the top of the hill are not
as deep and are not as much affected
by drought as those on the lower land
at the foot of the hill, though there
may be fifty or hundred feet differ
ence in the elevation. But the chief OBJ
lection to the well on the low ground
Is that it receives the surface drainage
from the higher land, and thus the
water soon becomes so contaminated as
to be unfit for use, either by the family
or the animals, for to be healthy they
must have pure water. In these days
Of driven wells, a pipe can often be
sunk on the highest gravel knoll or sand
hill on the farm more cheaply than in
the low land, and when water is reach
ed it is pure and will continue so, be-
cause the surface water runs away
from it, and not toward it. If wind
mill is erected the wind power is bet
ter, and by tank and pipes water can
be brought to house, barn and yards,
or carried to irrigate the garden and
strawberry bed in a way to make it
doubly pay for itself, first in saving Of
daily hard labor at the pump, and next
in increased crops by having a water
supply when needed. Many man who
thought he could not afford to put in
new well has paid out more cash for
doctors and undertaker's bills than the
well would have cost.-American Gull

Great Is the American Hen.

The American hen is a great institu-
ton. At a rough estimate there are
about 35O,OOO.OOO of her in the United
States and each year they produce
something like 14.OOO.OOO,OOO eggs,
which represent $175.OOO.OOO. About
$13O, O,OOO,OO worth of poultry is eaten
in the country during year, and the
value of the living hens, at 80 cents
apiece, is figured at $3.50, 100000 So the
hen stands for about $455, 100000 in the
yearly economics of the United States.
The hen outdoes the iron industry, the
csal industry. the wheat crop and the
corn crop, incidentally soaring more
than 81, 100000 ahead of the total year.

They Misuse TWO words.

A Frenchwoman said few days ago:
"How strangely English and American
fashion writer's misuse the word mod
iste.' They almost always apply it to
dressmaker, while 1t really is mil
liner, a maker of hats and bonnets." 1t
is true that originally it was correct,
but custom has so restricted its use that
no Parisienne would speak of dress
maker as a modiste. The term used is
invariably for dressmaker, coutur-
iere, or if a man, couturier.

Big Mares.


The breeding Of draft horses of ex-
IRENE weight is not likely to be over
done in this country for a long time.
The fact is there are not any too many
mares than can produce the top weight
kind. A good, big draft mare is, there
fore, worth money to the man who is
fixed for raising heavy horses. Breed
her to a good, big stallion, feed her and
the foal plenty of good growing feed,
such as oats, bran and clover hay, with
some corn, too, and there is no danger
of an undersized colt. Draft blood is
something, but not everything. Lack
of feed in early life accounts for a
whole lot Of draft bred horses that are
only "chunks" of 1,4OO pounds or less.
Undersized nearly always means un-
derfed at some stage of the game.-Na-
tional Stockman.

FARMERS ARE KICKING LIVELY
At Unjust Law Placing Tax On
GuanO.

The farmers of Sumter county, as in
every county in the state, are protest
ing against the new law which requires
them to make returns for taxation all
fertilizers in their possession on March
10Th, the date upon which the state
rate was assessed.
Every bag of guano held by farmer
on that day is subject to taxation, just
as is his land, his mules and other
property.
In several counties the farmers have
united to resist this law, notably in
Laurens, where a public meeting to
that end was held recently. The law
was enacted by the last legislature,
which defined guano as "merchandise"
and subject to taxation.
Fertilizers put in the ground prior
to that date or purchased since March
10Th, are not taxable, but, under the
new law, all held by farmers on that
date must be taxed.
