MOUNTED FOR HIGH SPEED.

method. This way of hanging is best
adapted to stones of not too great d.
ameter. With too large a stone the in
crease of speed might be more than
counterbalance by the extra power
required to turn tAe crank. To mount
a grildstone in this manner, obtain
first two-inch plank about four feet
in length and as wide as possible. say
IS inches. At the center Of plank
mortise three holes in which to insert
solidly three two by three-inch up
rights, which serve as bearings for the
grindstone and the cog wheels. Two
Of the uprights are each twenty-four
inches long and the other twelve
inches. The two long upright pieces
may be spaced apart to agree with
thickness of the cog wheels and the
shorter upright. at side Of grindstone
mot shown in ulustration) may be set
about four inches from the one nextso
#, distance depending on thickness Of
the stone. Procure two metal cog
wheels from some piece Of unused ma
chinery, one fifteen inches and the
other three inches in diameter. Have
the large wheel turn on an axle with
a crank. in bearings on top of long up
right pieces. and engage in the teeth
of the small wheel. The small cog wheel
is put on end of the grindstone shaft,
which extends between the long up.
rights and size OF cog wheels may, OF
course. be adapted to the size Of stone
or kind of wheels found availab BILE. Put
q water box or trough under the stone
in position indicated by dotted lines.
Put on legs and braces as indicated.
Fig. shows quick and satisfactory
method Of mounting which may be
made use of for large and heavy stones
as well as for those Of small diameter.
Secure the fork Of tree that has OF
too much spread. and after squaring 1t
somewhat with an AK. put legs in each
fork and at the butt end. Fasten the
bearing on top so as to allow the stone
- revolve between the forks. It is not
necessary. except perhaps for appear
ance. that the forked frame be sawed
perfectly square as in the illustration.

Hedgehog Kills n Viper.

A resident at Versailles, NJ. Guignet,
sends TO Nature vivid account Of a
duel he saw between hedgehog and q
viper. The two enemies knew very well
at first sight who was who, and eyed
each other as if they knew moments
inattention would be fatal. The viper
was the first TO get tired Of gazing and
it began TO glide away. just then the
hedgehog rushed for the viper's tail,
and having nailed it fast with his teeth,
it rolled itself up. The hedgehog was
very careful, however, not TO cut the
tail off. The viper curled back, and
delivered furious assaults on it's ag-
gressor, wrestling and rolling with the
curled-up hedgehog all over the place.
At length the snake, wounded in hun
dred places, died. The hedgehog be-
gan its repast on the tail Of its victim,
and was careful not TO eat the head.

Clean Nests Are Necessary.

The hens prefer clean nests, and
when they refuse to lay in the poul-
try-house, and begin to deposit their
eggs in the hay-loft. in the food
troughs, or away in the fields, the
chances are that lice have taken pos
session of the nests and driven the
hens away. A single broken egg in
lice, and once they secure foot
hold they stick closely until they
are driven off by heroic treatment.
Keep the nests clean, and always
have tobacco dust, or earth sat
urated with carbolic acid, convenient
for scattering in the nests when
cleaning then.-Farm and Fireside.

THE FARM GRINDSTONE
Much Of Its Usefulness and Svatla.
bility Depends ON the Way In
Which IL Is Mounted.

The old-fashioned home-mounted
grindstone is rapidly going out of use
on the modern farm. When ball.
bearing stone, mounted with foot
power attachments and furnished with
a seat for the operator, can be pur-
chased for less than S3, the farmer who
has need of new grlndstone and who
has workshop or other place to keep
it, is generally willing to pay few
cents more when purchasing and get
one of the ready-mounted conveniences
instead of buying a stone and fixtures
and doing the mounting himself. Fol-
certain kinds of work, however, the
stone with a crank for hand-power is
sometimes preferable to one operated
by foot power. The man holding the
tool or object to be ground can give
more attention to what he is doing
when he does not have to use his feet
80 keep the stone turning, and can hold
the tool more steadily.
To do good and speedy work in most
cases the grindstone should revolve
as fast as possible. and in Fig. I is
shown a method of mounting that per.
