An inch rope 20 feet long is attached
to the inner end of the shaft, and
good solid hook fastened into the other
end of the rope is brought back and
hooked over the shaft just inside the
crank. A common hay rope pulley is
placed upon the rope, and to this pulley
is attached a wire clamp secured at our
hardware store. Two hooks of heavy
rod iron were fashioned after the pat
tern at a, with threads cut and nuts
attached. These hooks are buried to
the cross pieces and hook around anchor
post.
IL posts are very large log chain can
be wrapped about the post and the hooks
attached to the chain. Also if a wire
clamp can not be secured hook similar
to the one on the end of the rope could
be substituted In this case a false post
and brace could be put in temporarily
back of the anchor post and the stretch
er e hooked to this post, a loop being
made in the end of the wire to fasten the
hook into. This would necessitate more
lebor, but would do as WELL as the wire
would be pulled past the anchor post
where it can be stapled before releasing
the stretcher We were we'll pleased
with the work done by this little ma
chine and feel satisfied that if construct
ed right it will stretch proper tension
into any fencing wire. as we have
stretched both smooth and barbed wire
with it,
We omitted to mention that half inch
holes are bored into the right bar where
a steel punch is inserted to hold the
crank from reversing while wire is being
stapled. Also the stretcher stands in the
center of the fence and if fastened to
the anchor post instead of to false post,
the bolts are loosened and the left bar of
the machine is easily removed to re-
lease it from the fence.-Geo. w. Brown,
in Ohio Farmer.

Bride OBJECTED 10 word obey.

"You must omit the word obey
from our marriage contract" whis-
pered katherine Fisher to Magistrate
Fitzpatrick recently when she and
Edwin Stanton Ross, both of Brook
lyn, were married at Philadelphia.
After the marriage certificate had
been properly filed out and signed
Mrs. Ross produced document
which proved to be sort of bill of
rights, in which Edwin Stanton Ross
clearly defines what he comedies to
be the personal, inalienable rights of
his wife, and in which katherine
Fisher Ross sets forth what she Will
stand for in the way of prerogatives
and privileges claimed by her hus-
band. The paper imposes no obliga-
tions upon the wife to obey the hus-
band. 1t was signed by the bride and
groom and fourteen witnesses.

main.
One of the interesting sights to be
seen along the Chester Pa) pike is
the ruin of the old Plummer's meet
ing house, near Crum Lynne station,
on the Pennsylvania railroad.
Half century ago the edifice was
prominent meeting place for the
followers of Frederick Plummer, who
cxerted a Svorderful influence among
the country folk for miles around.
The tottering old vine-c!ad wall is
the last vcstige of this denomination,
which began to lose its strength after
the death of Plummer, who was the
elder pastor of a Free Christian
church in Philadelphia.
In the rear of the ruins is an un-
used cemetery. The only living heir
to the ground occupied by the ruins
and the cemetery is Franklin Par
sons, of Glenolden, who is an agile
nonagenarian.
Mr.. Parsons was local minister
for many years and was member of
the Plummer meeting house.

ABOUT GUINEA FOWLS.
rsfnts THAT sheuld he Remembered
by All WIN Arc Engagod in
Raising Them.

Guinea fowls have dark coiored flesh,
but 1t is very palatable,
Inbreeding results in rendering the
birds tender and reduces their size
The young of birds given their free
dom are hardy and will follow their
mother as soon almost as they sre out
of the shell; at least they are good
trampers after they are a day oil. The
young live on bugs and seeds discovered
for thpm by the mothers.
In the early laying season Che birds
will lay their eggs anywhere, ard several
willdeposit their eggs in the same local
ity. When about TO sit they seek sep
arafiUn and lay dozen or more eggs in
a bktden nest, wherethey incubate them.
The guineas differ from common fowls
in that the males are as anxious about
the brood as is the hen, and helps take
care of them during the day time, for
sattfng them at night.
Guinea hens and their broods forage
In a body, the old males helping to keep
UP The laggards of the line At night
each mother collects herown brood.
The young at a very early age learn to
rCost in the trees, even before they can
reach the branches by flying. They half
fly and half run up the trunk of the tree.
Guinea eggs are very fertile, and a
large percentage of the birds hatched
live if they are permitted to run wild
with their mother.
Like the turkey, the guinea prefers
the open tree top to the secure poultry

FEEDING NEW CORN.
Toa Gree Use of the Crop fa an ImnIn-
tnre Condition IS Sure to
Dreed Disease.

The late condition of the corn crop last
year resulting in so much of it being soft
and not in condition to keep doubtless
will cause many to be very short of old
corn this year. Such condition fosters
the heavy feeding of very new corn. We
wish to caution against a too free use of
the new crop in an immature condition,
or for that matter after it gets fairly well
ripened up. AS all during this time it is
very palatable and contains sufficient
moisture to make it very easily con-
sumed, the tendency is for an animal to
overeat. This is especially true of the
hog whose ration usually consists more
largely of concentrates than is the case
with other animals. The present price
of corn will doubtless have very bene-
fetal effect in this direction. 1t will be
much easier to allowance the hog than
it would be if corn were low in price.
This relatively high price of corn will
also simplify the problem by lessening
the objection to the purchase of substi
tute feeds to use as part of the ration.
Feed the new corn quite sparingly at
first. If necessary to begin while it is in
the'milk, or even in the dough stage, it is
a good plan to feed the whole plant and
let them eat what they will of the fodder.
Then increase the feed gradually and be
careful to never overfeed, and we believe
you will have gone long way toward
preventing an outbreak of disease in the
herd.-Prairie Farmer

The castles of the late mad king

productions, but in their outward

ton all betray the strain of madness

ernment can spare.

One advantage in having shallow

vigor should be in excess of the sows.
Overfeeding of sows, musty grain, sour

DON'T Let Coils EoIIom.

The habit of allowing colts to follow
the mares while at work or on the road
should be discouraged. This practice has
been the cause of more trouble and an
noyance than could herein be chronicled.
Many a fine colt has been ruined from
being caught in the drag. lisk harrow or
plow. On the other hand, not few run
aways and smashups have been caused
by the mare fretting on account of the
colt attempting to follow some strange
team. Whenever taking mare to the
field or to town leave the colt in some
secure place where 1t can get exercise
and shade, and the comfort attending
such practice will always be appreciated
when once tried.-Twentieth Century
