PLAN OF HAY RACK.

boards underneath sills to rest bot tom boards on. Two boards (b), one on each side, the whole length of the rack, 1x10 inches, are placed on top of cross pieces. It will require 16 xss-inch bolts to fasten boards. Put these bolts down from top of boards so as to have the surface smooth. Do not put pins in top of boards; they are dangerous. Many farmers have been severely injured by protruding pins.
 Make the back (e) 6 inckes narrow CT than front of bolster. This will be an advantage !n turning. Bore 9 inch holes about inches from each end of sills and insert uprights be- fore putting rack together. This should fold down nicely when neces- sary. These uprights may be wired to cross pieces, for if not folded down they may cause trouble. For going to the field holes may be made in sin. gle upright (f) with a pin to secure boom pole. Take a scantling 4x5 inches for bolster and secure it to rack about 2 feet from front end of the sills (g) with one-half by 12-inch bolts. The 2X4-inch scantling placed on the bolster behind this rack on a low wagon will not interfere with wheels. Use washers on all bolts; I had my blacksmith drill five-eighth- inch holes through strips of iron 10 inches long to put bolts through boards on cross pieces. This will keep boards down nicely. This rack, properly made, will last lifetime. Do not forget to paint it and keep dry when not in use.-Abram Stull, in Farm and Home.

A GLORIOUS SIGHT.
Fields of Wheat in Which the Stocks Were So Thick 1t Was Impossible
 to Drive Between Them.

To the Editor:
 A gentleman from Duluth made trip through a portion of Western Canada last summer, and writing of what he saw, says:
 Wheat, for instance, will average twenty-five or thirty bushels-to the acre. I saw shocks so thick in the field that it would be almost impossi ble to drive between them. Winters, it is said, are longer than near Duluth, but the Japan current, warm chinook winds and dry atmosphere make the winters comparatively mild."
 Thousands of such testimonies are to be had from settlers who have taken advantage of the low-priced lands of Western Canada. During the present year new districts will be opened up in the Saskatchewan Val ley, and advantage should be taken of this at once. Information can be had from any agent of the Government, whose advertisement appears else where in your columns.
 Yours truly,

COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, Ill.,, June 10.-Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with Dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years, she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse.
 Last winter MT. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at MT. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmi. MT. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and well as ever she was, com pletely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of Dropsy.
 To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance, does not half express her feelings, and she and MT. Fianigan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of MT. Dale for recommending this won derful remedy to them.
 The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of Dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked-of remedy ever known in White County.

LOVE STORY WELL TOLD.
A Young Mans Clever Method of Wtn-
 ming a Confession from His Adored One.

She was pouring at tea that afternoon md she looked unusually bewitching, says the Smart Set He was sitting at her left, in bower of palms that almost concealed him. He was holding one of her hands under cover of the tablecloth, while she tried to pour with the other. She did not look at him as he talked, but he knew by he color and the little quiver of the hand he was holding that she heard everything he said. Dearest" he murmured, as she sent one cup off without spoon and another filled only with whipped cream, dearest, if you don't mind my saying all this to you, just drop a spoon. Couldn't you manage it." A chatter of silver and more color in the girls face, as in stepping to pick up the spoon he kissed her hand. Spurred by this success, he went on: Dearest, tiff you return it-that is, if you love me, you know-just put three Jumps of sugar into the next cup you pour,,,Y,e-s.' Or, if you don't, two, to spell No" One, two, three! The tiny cup was almost full, and in, her haste to hide her confession she covered the three Jumps hastily with chocolate and cream and sent them off. He as ked his mother as they drove home if she had en- loved herself "Ugh, no!' was her disgusted reply. "Such horrible stuff to drink as they gave one. Why, my cup was half full of sugar."

A STRONG HAY RAClr.
When Properly Made, Painted and Kept Dry When Not in Use, 1t
 Will Last Lifetime.

In making a hay rack I would by all means use low wagon; no other wagon is as handy for hauling hay or grain. Use strong pine and have it smoothed. AS shown herewith, the sills (a) should be IS feet by 2x7 inches. The four cross pieces (c) are 61a feet by 2x5 inches. These can be made lighter by cutting down to 3 inches from sills to end. The small piece Co explains how this is done. Cross pieces Co are all placed on top of sills (a). Dropping cross pieces (c), one-half inch in sills (a), as shown, will make the rack more dur able and secure. Four bolts, one-half by 12 inches, for end cross pieces, and four bolts, one-half by IA inches, for the two centerpieces, will be re- quired. These 14-inch bolts will be long enough to fasten two strips of

THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
Condensed History of the Most Fa- mou@ Organization of Farmers
 Ever Formed in America.

The grcnge is the oldest of the gen. eral organizations for farmers. Though the notion of organizing the farmers was undoubtedly broached in the early history of the country, the germ idea that actually grew into the grange is about third of century old, and should be credited to O. H. Kelley, a Boston young man who set tied on a Minnesota farm in 1s49. He wrote considerably for the agricultural press, and this experience helped to bring him to the conclusion that the great need of agriculture was the edu- cation of the agriculturalist. He soon came ito feel that existing agencieslfor this purpose-farm papers and fairs were insufficient. As agent for the department of agriculture in 1866, Mir. Kelley made a tour of the south with a view to gaining knowledge of the agricultural and mineral resources of that section. On his tour he became impressed with the fact that the poli- :icians would never restore peace to the country; if Cit comes at all, it must come through fraternity" As his thought ripened, he broached to his friends the idea of "secret society of agriculturahsts, as an element to re- store kindly feelings among the peo- ple.'
 Thus was begun movement for or ganization that had resulted, by 1873, in the formation of 10000 granges in 2S states, comprising not less than 750,000 members; and in that year the national grange, as a representative body, was officially organized. For four or five years this unexampled prosperity continued; then the re- ports show a feeling of weakness creeping in. In fact, the order as a whole steadily declined in numbers and prestige during the whole of the decade following 1880, the losses being most serious in the south and west. But in New England and the middfe states it retained its vitality, and, in- deed, grew steadily.
 During the las ten years there has been a widespread revival of interest in the organization, and the outlook is exceedingly promising. Since 1890 the membership has increased not less than 75 per cent. New York at pres ent has $50 subordinate granges, with 43,000 members; Pennsylvania, 526 granges and 10000 members; Maine, 275 granges, with 29,0O0 members; New Hampshire, 260 granges and 24,OOO members; Michigan, 420 granges and nearly 25,oo0 members. These states lead, but the order is also active and strong in Vermont, Connecticut, Ohio and Massachusetts. Thirty states pay dues to tie national grange treasury, and "A were represented by delegates to the last national grange.-Forum.

matter I have ever seen obtained from
the ground in that locality.
There was some improvement in the
healthfulness of the villages during the
year 1892. yet malarial diseases continued
to prevail. The task of convincing the
residents that the water which they had
been drinking for years was dangerous
and unfit for that purpose was not an easy
one by any means; but the work was per-
severed in, with the result that, in 1893.
there was a still greater improvement in
the heakhfulness of the villages. From
that time onward the place grew more
and more healthful each year, and from
the year 1895 to the time of my departure
thence, Sept. 2s, 1900, l do not remember
to have heard of, or to have been called
to, a single case of malarial fever, al
though nearly all of the medical work
OF the villages fell to my hands.
The most striking examples of the ben
eficiaI effect of the change of water, as
well as the Instances most clearly illus
trating the correctness OF the writer's
Views regarding the causation of malaria
occurred in large families-famiIies which
had not gone through a summer or au-
tumn for years without having more or
less malarial fever among the members,
often two or three Of them being sick at
one time
AZ 10 mosquitoes, am Tree to confess
that do not know whether abe ano-
pheles species exist in that locality or
not, or whether they existed during the
time the locality was so VIGOROUSLY ma
larious, and have since become exterm-
mated through some unknown agency, but
/ do know that there are, and always
have been, mosquitoes there galore, APP
parently all kinds. big and little brown
and gray, and that they exist the whole
year round. There is only one house in
the village provided with screen doors and
windows, and large majority of the in
habitants sleep without mosquito nets.
As to the experiments now going on in
Italy, do not think that few months
trial will demonstrate anything. should
the evidence remain negative, because ex-
perience has shown that in the malarious
sections of the South newcomers usu-
ally remain exempt the first year of their
residence and develop malaria during the
second or third year
In conclusion, / will say that my OBJ
servations have thoroughly demonstrated
to my mind that malarial fevers are main
ly, II not entirely, due to drinking water
contaminated with vegetable organic mat
ter.

Death of Mrs. Redding sims-Heavy
Rain Causes Damage.

Washington, Ga, April AIRS. Red
ding Sims, one of the Oldest and most
highly respected women Of the county,
died yesterday at the home of her son,
Hon. w. NJ. Sims, in this place. She was
SO years of age, and a consistent member
of the Baptist Church. She is survived
by large family of children, who are
among the most prominent citizens of
this city
Reports from different parts of the
county are to the effect that the rain
storm which prevailed Tuesday caused
the bottom lands to be flooded and in
many places the uplands were badly
washed. The weather was very cold yes
terday for April, but contrary to the
predictions of the weather bureau, there
was no frost and it is thought the fruit
crop will suffer no serious damage. The
grain crop throughout the county is very
promising. 1t is probable that many of
the farmers will have to plant their corn
over on account of the unfaVorable
weather.
Mr.. James Hines of Washington, on
whose place Marshal Whitley was killed,
visited the scene of the tragedy a few
days ago. He says Tom Scott was very
good and law-abiding negro, and thinks
there was no reason why he should have
been killed. 1t is expected that the trial
of the two negroes now imprisoned in Au-
gusta will be attended by many sensa-
tional features.

Done by FOX of Baltimore.
New York, April 4-The shoot for the

postponed from yesterday, began this
morning and was continued up 10 dusk
this evening. Nearly 5000 birds were
trapped. During the entire shoot ram
fell continuously and this made what
would otherwise have been fast flyers
very slow birds.
All told there were 222 entries for the
event, ten of which were post entries.
Twenty-one men failed to toe thir marks
when their turns came, and these absen~
tees forfeited $40 each, which went to
swell the purse. The entire amount of
money which will be distributed among
the "a high guns when the event is con-
cluded tomorrow is $685..
When the shooting was discontinued
this evening there were forty men with
straight scores of twenty kills each and
SO with 10 each.
OF the leaders the work of Ansley II.
Fox of Baltimore was by far the most
creditable. Since the shoot began Fox
has taken part in every event on the pro-

has shot 6S birds without missing any
In addition to this he has shot at sixty
bye-birds and the only miss recorded

HOW COAL Is MADE.
wood Arti0cIsIIy Converted into
Carbon Within six Months.


From the Moniteur Industriel
An interesting case OF a rapid transfer
nation OF lockwood, or ''lignum vitae"
into coal has been reported by Mr.. O.
Arth. The lockwood had been inserted in
the bronze footstep OF twelve horse
power Jonval turbine, which was making
ll2 revolutions. The revolving mass
weighed about 900 pounds. The peck
wood, on which the steel pivot Of the
shaft rested, was not under water, but It
would always be wet. When the turbine
had been running for six months some re-
pairs became necessary, and 1t was oh
served that the lockwood had turned
black In Its upper portion; the wood was
brittle and the fracture strongly resem-
bled that of coal; many assures were
noticed. The lower portion of the wood
was not altered. The black wood con-
tanned 2.74 per cent. of moisture. Dried
I'm vacuo, u yielded on analysis $40 per
cent. Of ashes. 4.S6 Of hydrogen. COTS per
cent. of carbon and the heating value OF
the dry material was found to be 7,10e
oalories. The substance would thus oc-
cupy an intermediate position between
Ignite and coal. This Transformation had
been effected within the short period or
six months, and the temperature couls
not have risen 10 any high degree. The
change would. therefore. appear TO be due
essentially 10 continued friction OF the
wet wood. The author concludes that we
need hardly believe IN the long periods
which geologists demand for the forma-
ton OF our coal fields
