least bit in the way of the ~hay-carrier
as it passes back with the load of hay;
and when the load is past any pair of
them it may be swung to where it is
wanted and dumped. This drawing
shows a barn 80 feet wide and 20 feet
high with the cross-timber in one solid
piece; but that is not necessary-it
may be in three pieces. A nut on each
end of the rod allows it to be adjusted.
While rods are best every way, they
are not essential; two by four timbers
spiked on each side will answer. They
should, however, be long enough to
project six or eight inches beyond the
other timbers to prevent their split
ting when the spikes are driven. They
can then be sawed off. Of course this
will not need to be done if they are of
some nonsplitting kind of wood.-Cor.

CARE OF YOUNG l G
How Many of the Annoyances, Conn.
mon ON Most. Farms, Can BE
Avoided Effectually,

New born pigs, especially those from
sows that have been fed a ration con.
tanning much shorts, oats or faXseed
meal, are apt to have sharp tusks that
lacerate the teats of the mother. This
is very commonly the cause of what
appears to be an i'll disposition on the
part of the sow. Prof. Carlyle. of the
Wisconsin Agricultural co..ege, says
that these teeth are also a common
cause of canker of the mouth in young
pigs. They lacerate the lips and cheek
of the pig having them and the faces
of the other pigs of the litter during
the infantile squabbles and fights OF
the youngsters. A new litter of pigs
should have their mouths examined at
once and any such tushes removed be.
fore trouble sets in. If this has MOI
been done and canker mouth appears
it is recommended to clip off these
teeth and to dip the heads of the af'
fected pigs several times in a solution
of one to two ounces of permanganate
of potash in a gallon of warm water
then rub the sores well with some heal
ing ointment. such as iodoform, one
drachm, tanic acid one drachm anc
lard or lanolin one ounce, mixed to
gether. Where the disease is preva
lent it is also recommended to sous
the heads of unaffected pigs once OF
twice a week as a preventive. Car
should also be taken to keep all uten
sis, such as troughs and pals, per
fectly clean and sweet. The bed should
also be kept clean and dry. A damp
filthy bed is a commo source of nor
tally among young pigs.-Prairi'

New Materials for Bread,

Some of the many materials used
for bread have been brought to no
tice by M. Paul Combes. Beans, peas
and other leguminous seeds, as well
as maize and other vegetable sub
stances, require mixing with wheat
or rye, or the bread is liable to be
soggy, indigestible, or otherwise of
poor quality. Mashed potatoes mixed
with wheat or maize -four give pala-
table bread, which. however, attracts
moisture. Rice -four makes fine vel,
low bread, agreeable both to sight
and taste, and the chestnut bread
that forms the chief food of the Cor.
sican mountaineers is healthful
agreeable, digestible and keeps IL
days or longer. Bread has been made
from acorns. people in France hav-
ing been reduced to the necessity in
time of scarcity. Moses, dried and
powdered, are still esteemed for
bread by Norwegians; and other sub
stances that have been used-most
of them yielding little nutrition
without the addition of cereal flou1
include the roots Of bryonia, col
chicum, iris, ~serpentaria. mandragora
and hellebore and the leaves Of aeon,
tie, etc.

QUICK POCKET-PICKING.
Incident That Took Place in New
York owe Which Is Both
Strange and True

This occurrence, improbable as it
may seem, actually happened in this
city, says the New York Sun.
A certain large pawnbrokerage
house which has a number of separate
places of business employs an expert
accountant to examine its accounts
once a month. The accountant has a
fine gold repeater and stop watch
which was given to him by his father
and for that reason is valued by him at
even more than it's intrinsic value.
This accountant, who lives in Brook
Ign, went to the pawnbroker's the
other day from his home. He crossed
the Tenth street ferry and reached the
Bowery on a cross-town car, walking
the rest of the distance to the store.
Instead of passing through the pri-
vate hall to the rear office, as he does
usually, he entered the section where
the loans are made. As he passed
through the door he encountered a
young man who was rushing out in
such a hurry that he almost knocked
down the accountant. Behind the
counter one of the clerks was laughing
and holding something in his hand.
whats the joke" the accountant
asked him.
"Why," answered the clerk, "that
fellow who just rushed out wanted SIC
on this watch. He said he had bought
it for $40, The watch is worth $3.50
so / told him to wait a minute until
could call up the police and find out
where he had got it for that insignifi-
cam sum. You saw how he waited"
"Let me see that watch" said the
accountant.
He looked, then clapped his hand or
his watch pocket. The pocket was
empty.
"That's my watch" he said, ant
opening the case showed to the clerk
no less surprised than was the account.
ant, the inscription his father had haG
engraved on the inside cover.
The thief had picked his pocketprob
ably in the crowded little car, and nae
rushed to the pawnbroker's beating
him4there by only a minute or two.

In these days of specializing the
general purpose horse is being
crowded to she rear. Several years
ago he was much sought, and as a
class was one of the best from a mar.
ketable point of view. Now, however.
people have come to realize that his
work was but poorly done. As a road.
ster he lacks much of the speed and
considerable of the action that marks
the ideal roadster. As draughter he
was merely a makeshift. Willing
enough, he may be. but measured in
pounds his load must not be more
than half Of an ordinary draughter's
load. Even the farmer, TO whom he
is perhaps more useful than to any
one else. finds it pays better to keep
an extra horse for the road, and
good, blocky, breedy mares for the
farm work.-Livestock World.

TRUE TO NATURE

The judge who sits on the bench dealing out justice sometimes becomes fatigued from the strain of duty. His conscience bothers him. He does not want ito send an innocent man to pris- on, and in the meantime he is bound to punish the wicked. His conscience, together with the attorneys arguing pro and con, confuses hdm. When the case is over, what does he do? Why, he takes a little good stimulant to alleviate his tired brain. It refreshes his memory and puts his mental propensftfes in good working order. The same is true of the man who is working in the factory. He may be working at foot press, a lathe, or perhaps at the muf- fe, whichever he works at. Perhaps this work goes wrong, his fellow work man had falling-orIt with his moth- er-irl-law the night before and is cross, the foreman is also cross; his wife thought he was too late at the club. What does that man want when he comes home? Why, like the judge, he wants a little stimulant.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the SIMMER time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many OF our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition OF
health demanding careful attention il suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss OF appetite and depression
of spirits Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges OF
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry overwork. and irregular dieting, are
tomented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes We
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine tina: can quickly and fully
restore strength To the weak body and vigor TO
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; il removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; il feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia torures: il purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing of perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the ngors OF severe winter.
