OF Ancient Ori1in.

Men address their friend and COM
rade, the dog. in their own language;
but for every other domestic animal
they have a special language, and 1t is
notable fact that each Of these Ian
guages can be traced back either to the
first settlers Of the country in which
it Is now used or to some country at
the other end Of the globe.
Almost all Europeans, when they
wish to stop horse. say "How or
whoa" In like manner the old
Greeks and Romans said "Ohl" and the
Hindoos, as far back as three thous-
and years ago, said "You," which Is a
Sanscrit word and means "Stopw An
English milkmaid, when she starts to

the word "Sah" Is the imperative of

herds, when they call their flocks, cry
"Caday! and In the old Anglo-Danish
tongue "Cade" signifled lambs" Fl.
nally, farmers call a calf "bos' or
"bossy," and "bos" is the Latin name
for an OK. These farmers, however
use even more extraordinary word,
for they cry "cobos" to their cattle
when they wish them to lie down, and
this word Is composed of hos" and of
the Sanscrit "gou," which means

structed that the "shoe" runs on the
under side. The upper side is deadened
or insulated. The former plan seems to
be the most practicable, owing to the
difficulty In suspending the rail prop
erly.
Not only will the improvement pro-
tect passengers, but 1t will save many
exasperating delays during SNOW and
Ice storms, the rail being almost en-
tirely protected from such causes of
trouble.
The Wilkesbarre & Hazleton Electric
railroad, in Pennsylvania, is the first
road, in the country to adopt protect

THREE PLANS TO MAKE THE
DEADLY THIRD RAIL SAFE

The rapid extension Of the third-rail
system electric railroads, not only on
elevated lines, but on surface lines in
the country, has brought the public
face to face with a serious question
should electric railroad companies be
allowed to lnterlace the country with
n network of live" rails, the slight
est touch Of which is likely to produce
death or serious injury?
Already many thrd-rail lines are in
operation on the surface, one being the
road from Chicago to Aurora. Two
similar lines have been incorporated
within day or two in Illinois, and
are preparing to build from Chicago
as center.
When electricity first came into gen.
eral use as motive power, the news
papers were filled with columns of
matter about the deadly trolley" and
bitter opposition developed. Hada rail-
road attempted at that time to lay a
live rail on the ground, public indigna-
ton would have caused an open revolt.
Singularly enough, the third-rall sur

A Home VI ade Fodder Cutter.
No one will question the value Of cut
fodder for stock, and especially for
horses, although many farmers will not
use 1t because Of the labor involved in
preparing 1t. The homemade cutter
shown here will do quite as good work
as the more expensive machines. and it
really does not take much time to pre-
pare quite lot of fodder. To make this
machine, two boards, each one foot
wide and five feet long, are required.
Nail these together in V-shape. as
shown, then make the legs Of pieces

each, as shown. to keep them from
spreading Have the blacksmith make
a cutting blade: It may be formed from
an old scythe, as shown in the illustra-

feet. Bolt piece Of iron at one end
to one leg six inches below the box

A Farm Electric Livht Syete m.

A well-known farmer in eastern New
York State, ]. T. Mcdonald, reports
favorably Of his experience with a
farm electric-lighting plant. He put
in fifty-light dynamo costing $500
and paid out about 500 more for wir-
ing, etc. He has brook running
through his farm which supplies the
power. There are sixteen lights In the
stables. and the house is lighted
throughout whenever desired by turn
ing on the switch. The power Of the
current is regulated by an indicator in
the kitchen, and all the trouble neces-
sary Is to watch the indicator and
change the voltage to correspond with
the number Of lights that have been
turned on or off. The two wires are
drawn tightly on sweep, and so ar
ranged with gear wheel that the
water gate may be easily managed, it
being very sensitive to the slightest
change in the voltage, and very easily
controlled without leaving the kitchen.
Mr.. Mcdonald says the convenience
cannot be realized without trial. and
no other investment which he has
made has pleased him so well. For
those who have not brook to furnish
power, an apparatus has recently been
invented, costing about $500 all up and
wired ready for use. 1t is a combined
gasolene motor and generator, and Is
said to prove quite satisfactory

Cow and the Dairy.

Tow ana the Datfy.
No COW can get more out Of her food
than nature has put into it.
Ten cows are about as many as q
man can milk properly in an hour.
Keep the stable and dairy room in
good condition. fresh air and clean.
All persons who milk the cows
should have the finger nails cut closely.
Milk with dry hands. Never allow
the hands to come in contact with the
milk.
Whitewash the stable once or twice
n year. Use land plaster in the manure
cutters daily.
Do not move cows faster than COM
Portable walk while on the way to
place Of milking or feeding.
Good care is as important as good
COWS. The careless man will make but
sorry living even with the best of
cows
A large udder Is not by any means an
infallible sign of good mixer. a poor
cow NAV sometimes have large,
heshy udder.
1t is seldom we find man that has
good mich COW and wants to sell
her, provided he knows good mich
COW when he sees it.
BY intelligent breeding you can in a
few years weed out poor stock and
have a good herd. BY lack of intelli,
gence in breeding you can in less time
ruin a good herd.

Proper Stab!ing for Horses.


The Farm Journal gives some points
of value to be observed In caring for
mans best friend on the farm: The use
and value Of farm horses are often
seriously impaired by lack Of proper
stabling. They are crowded In filthy,
lll-ventilated stables. the air so bad
from the damp urine-soaked floors that
the harness Is rotted by it. The eyes
and lungs and general health are in
juretr, and disease Of some kind is sure
to follow. A side light strains the eye
unequally. The light should come in
the stable from the front, and the win
dows should be lime washed to mellow
the light. A stable should never be
dark. The stable should be we'll ven
tilated. but so carefully that no draft
can possibly touch warm horse. A
draft on horse warm from work or
driving will be sure to ruin him. Do
not feed from a rack overhead. as the
dust from the hay Is apt to be brcathed
and is not good for the lungs. a deep
manger is best. wide manger for
the grain is best. so the grain can be
scattered to prevent boiling. The stalls
should be five feet wide. A horse can
not rest in narrower one. and In a
wider one he might roll and get fast.
Look out that the slight settling of the
barn does not cause the stall floors to
slope toward the hangers.

Anglican races for the mastery Of
North America. The land surrounding
the block house property has now been
bought by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which proposes to lay tracks and make
extensive Improvements all through
that section. If its plans are carried
out the block house will fall a victim
to the march Of progress.
The Pittsburg Chapter Of the DAugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, which
owns the block house and the nine
acres of ground in which it stands, aid
ed by the American Historic and Scenic
Preservation Society Of New York city,
is now preparing for the final battle
which shall decide whether or not Pitts
burg may keep for itself this monu-
ment Of so many momentous events in
the history Of our country. In their
struggle the daughters have the SYM
pathy and support of that city's most
intelligent and influential citizens.
The Importance Of 1.-The Forks Of the
Ohio" as a military basis was recog-
nized first by Washington, when, a
young man Of 81, he was sent by Gov.
Dinwiddle, Of Virginia. to the COM
mander Of the French forces who had
invaded the region of the Ohio river ito
know his reasons for invading the Brit
ish domlnions while solid peace sub
sisted" 1t took Washington nine days
to reach the lonely spot where the

IL spent some time" writes Wash
ington, sin viewing both rivers. The
land in the fork has the absolute COM
mand Of both. The fiat well-timbered
land all around the point lies very con.
venient for building"
So in Imagination Washington built a
fort and a city where the block house
and Pittsburg now stand. When the
French had declared their intention of
taking possession of the Ohio, the first
thing Washington called to the atten-
tion Of Gov. Dinwiddle was the neces-
sity of building fort at the Forks, -
securing this important position. Din
widdle mt once dispatched an officer
with a small party of men to start the
desired fertilization, and gave Wash
ington his commission as lieutenant
colonel and body Of $50 men in order
that he might take command at the
Fork" finish the fort already begun
there and hold the territory against the
enemy.
Before Washington could carry out
these plans. however. the French, led
by Contrecoeur, came down from We
band of English then in possession.
Contrecoeur completed the fortitication
of the post, and for the governor Of
New France named it Duquesne.

Starting a Ba1ky Horse.

When horse balks, no matter how
badly he sulks or how ugly he is, do
not beat him; don't throw sand in his
ears; don't use a rope around his fore
legs or even burn straw under him.
Quietly go and pat him on the head a
moment. Take hammer, or even
pick up a stone in the street, tell the
driver to sit still. take the lines, hold
them quietly while you lift up either
front foot. give each nail a light tap
and good smart tap on the frog, drop
the foot quickly and then chlrp to him
to CO. In ninety-nine cases out Of 100
the horse will go right on about his
business, but the driver must keep his
lines taught and not pull or jerk him
back.

Possible Yield Of Soil.

Possible Yield OF Soil.
A recent publication by Prince Kra.
potkin. the Russian economist recites
some of the effects of intensive culture
in the possible yields. Thus In Bel
GUM they grow enough agricultural
products to feed their own population
Of 400 inhabitants to the square mile,
and have enough left to send $1,000
600 worth each year to Great Britain.
If we could do as well in our fields. the
State of New York might furnish food
for 23,OO0,O0O people, and Texas could
feed twice the present population Of
the United States. The prince tells OF
instances where eighteen tons Of hay a
year have been gathered from single
acre, and an acre has produced 1900
to 1000 bushels Of potatoes. But this
is as nothing compared to the crops
under glass in Belgium and the isle Of
Jersey, where the land Is kept under
cultivation all the year, one crop being
ready to succeed another without any
interval. BY this method he claims
that thirteen acres under glass in Jer-
sey have produced better money re-
turns than 1900 acres under ordinary
methods Of farm cultivation. This must
be a satisfaction to those who are wor-
rying from fear that the world will
not produce enough to feed the grand
children of the present generation

Eerti1iZin0 the Corn Land,

At the Purdue corn school, the great
emphasis was placed upon fertiizlng
the corn land at least one year before
the field is given to corn. An old clover
sod that has received manure the pre-
vious year was regarded as an ideal
soil on which to grow corn. Corn
growers considered 1t quite risk to
haul manure on land intended for corn
later than Jan. 1. After that date the
surplus manure should go to the grow
ing grain crop. as wheat or rye, to the
clover fields or to the pasture land.
If placed on corn land it may cause the
plants to fire In dry time, the pres
ence Of the manure thus acting to pro-
duce an appreciable loss. Take this
valuable fertilizer to where 1t may
feed plants. but not where 1t is likely
to check their growth by drying the
soil and depriving the crop Of its mois
ture.-St. Paul Dispatch.
