Hard Flowing.

When the plow is hard to hold, it is
safe to say that it is hard work for the
teams to draw it. This may be be-
cause Of roots or stones, in which case
the cause is obvious, but if not, some
thing else is wrong, and the cause
should be found and tie trouble rene

pillow than TO wear out plowmen and

But as often as not the trouble arises
from the line Of draft not being right
It would seem that any farmer should
know if his pillow runs her nose into
the ground" SO that he found he had
to bear his weight on the handles, or
pulled out so that he had TO lift it on

Handling Fowls in Yards.

Where it is necessary to keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way to
handle them is to have the yards Of
,four-foot netting, the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards to a new location, where
fowls have not been the present year.
This is considerable trouble, but it
must be done if chicks and fowls are
kept on a small area If it is not pos
sible to let the fowls have a range,
then green food must be provided in
some way. A good plan is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they 60 to roost.
A better plan is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with q scythe
All fowls in confinement ought to be
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night, even though it is necessary for
several people 20 keep them out of mis-
chief. This run will do them a world
of good, and the egg results will pay
for the trouble OF watching them.
Don't forget the necessity for an
abundance Of fresh water several
times daily.

A Huge Galloway.

A huge galloway, which when COM
pleted will be the longest in the world,
Is to be constructed on the Argentine
side of the Andes mountains by the en-
gineering firm of Adolf Bleichert d Co.
OF Leipsic, Germany. This galloway is
TO extend from the Chilecito station Of
the Argentine Northern railroad for a
distance of thirty-two miles. Its termin-
alton at this end will be 1888 feet
above sea level, and the engine station
that will be erected at this point of the
cableway will be the highest in the
world. No less than eighty seven miles
of rope will be required for the cable
way. The project will necessitate many
remarkable engineering difficulties being
surrounded, since at one or two points
the galloway will have to span gorges
$500 feet wide by $50 feet deep. The
galloway is to have carrying capacity
of forty-four tons of ore an hour. and
cars each containing 100 pounds of ore
are to be dispatched at intervals of forty
i've seconds.-Scientiic American.

General Farm Notes,

Long and hard pulling makes wind
broken horses.
If sow breeds we'll and is a good
mother. keep her until she is old.
Early and thorough training makes
gentle, safe aud tractabIe horses.
Clean off the ground occupied by
peas. early corn or potatoes and SOW
turrips.
You can cultivate your grass crops
only by preparing the soil well before
sowing the seed.
Always breed from thoroughbred
boar of good constitution ard vigor
His vigor should be in excess of that
of the SOW.
With poultry. as with nearly all
other products from the farm. safe
rule is to market the surplus when
ever a fair profit can be realized when
making the sale.
Among thoroughbred poultry there
is little difference so far as their econ
onical points are concerned, but on
a farm solid. strong and coarse. breed
is best
Those who make the most in keep
ing poultry are those who have small
farms and utilize every rod OF them
for the production Of food or pasture
for their stock.

Voice from Arkansas.

Cleveland, Ark, Aug. 15.-(Special.)
Nearly every newspaper tells Of some
wonderful cure of some form Of Kid
ney Disease by the Great American
Remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills, and this
part of Arkansas Is not without its
share of evidence that no case Is too
deeply rooted for Dodds Kidney Pills
to cure.
Mr.. A. E. Garlic, well known and
highly respected here, tells Of his cure
after nearly a quarter Of century's
suffering. Mr.. Garlic says:
Il want to let the public know what
1 think of Dodd's Kidney Pills. think
they are the best remedy for sick kid
neys ever made.
II had Kidney Trouble for % years
and never found anything that did me
80 much-good as Dodd's Kidney Pills. l
recommend them to all sufferers"
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr.. Carlile's statement. He knows that
iDodd's Kidney Pills rescued him from
n life Of suffering and he wants tho
public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure oil Kidney ills from Back
ache to Bright's Disease.

Handling Bags of Grain.

In grain-growing sections more or
less grain in bags has to be handled
by man-power, and this becomes con-
siderable Of q burden after a time.
A device for assisting in this work
may be easily constructed by any
handy man. Set heavy post in the
ground SO that it will stand about two
and one-half feet above the surface:
then take a heavy board, the wider
the better, and about ten feet long.
Cut two pieces OF board wedgeshape
and fasten to the lower edge Of the
board. Cut these pieces SO that when
they rest on the ground with the other
end of the board resting on the beveled
top Of the post the whole thing is
firm.

short handle, such a hook as is used

the pleasures of boating and bathing
fresh water is one of the great neces-
saries of the camp just as it is nee
essary of the house In any event care
should be taken to see that the sum-
mer home lin the wilderness" is in
healthy spot, not too difficult of access
and yet removed from anything that
may serve to remind the campers Of
the town they have deserted-for no
body can really enjoy camping out I'M
til he can unrestrainedly enter into the
spirit of the woods and mountains.
The site Of the camp finally decided,
father and mother should hold con-
sultation to determine just what is
needed in the way of accoutrements
and food supply.
They will do well to consult, If pos
sible. somebody who has had expert
ence in spending a summer in a tent,
else they may fall into the grievous err
ror of taking more things along than
they really require, and while it will
not do to 60 into camp empty handed
1t is almost equally inconvenient to
not know what to do with.
In pitching the tent select knoll in
preference to q low or hollow spot of
ground and be sure to dig a shallow
trench. FIVE or six inches wide, around
the spot on which the tent is to stand,
getting the trench as close to the tent
AS possible. This will insure the tent
floor being perfectly dry. The tent
should stand in an open space where
the sun shines freely. If possible have
the ground slope from back to front,
unless you are using a "conical' tent,
in which case Il slope will be found
very inconveEienr. Pull the canvas
taut and see that it stretches to the
ground, but do not pull the guy ropes
too tight for the first rain will cause
them to shrink, and if there is no yield
to them something will have to give
way. and mayhap the tent will come
crashing to the ground.
Just how the days shall be spent by
the campers must be left to their in
dividual tastes and TO the varying
recreations offered by their surround
, ings But in order for everybody
thoroughly to enjoy the outing it is
incumbent on each to perform cheer
fully the duties allotted by the head
of the camp-usually the mother Of
the family. for the father is hard at
work in town getting the pennies that
make the camp possible Undoubted-
| ly the most onerous task is to keep the
fire we'll supplied with wood, for the
way in which even the most modest
camp fire will devour wood is some
| thing remarkable. But Bobby, johnny
and Tommy can easily devise many
schemes to turn this part of the work
into actual fun. The girls of the party
will take charge of the culinary opera
| tions-always under the watchful eve
Of materfa milias-and of the washing
and cleaning Of dishes and clothes.
There will be plenty Of work for ali to
| do, but all will have time for recrea-
| ton if the camp is managed on the
| right lines. And when the summer is
at an end, and the time comes to bid
adieu to the streams and lakes and
Woodland, the campers will one and all

A DYING MANS ADVICE.
Wealthy Chicago Man Delivers Lecture
in His Will.

The Will Of the late George II. Latin,
the Chicago pioneer, which has been fled
for probate, not only provides for the
distribution of property valued at $4,000
900, but contains the following advice to
his heirs:
Il would advise all my children to be
prudent in their investments and not to
purchase anything simply because 1t is
cheap, but to remember that long time
security drawing a low rate Of interest
is often more desirable than an invest
ment which draws a high rate Of inter.
est.
81 would also advise them not to pur-
chase anything which they cannot pay
for in full at the time Of the purchase,
as more men are ruined by speculation
than in any other way. I also advise
them not to sign any note Or bond and
to look we'll to all transfers OF real
estate, and not to incumber any real
estate except for the purpose Of improy
ing same"
The bulk Of the property goes to Ar
thur X. Latin, Grace Latin Whitehead
and Louis E. Latin, while two trusted
servants are made benefciaries, Kate
Laffey being remembered with a. bequest
of $1,000 and Mary Ferguson with one
OF $1,000. Grandchildren and great
grandchildren aleo are included in the
provisions.

The New Peach Disease.

The disease called Little Peach IS
giving serious trouble to orchardists
in New York and Michigan. and the
subject is being investigated by Gov
eminent experts. The cause is due. in
part at least, to fungous growth
which attacks the roots. but the cause
has not been positively proved. The
malady somewhat resembles peach vel
lows in its effect. The main symp-
toms are the small size of the fruit
without special spots or blotches: the
general feebleness and final yelIoving
Of the trees anu their gradual decline
and death without apparent cause. The
disease often spreads in a circle from
the tree first attacked. The spread
is slow, generally taking from three
to five years or more to spread through
an orchard. The only remedy yet dis
covered is TO pull out the diseased
trees as soon as the first symptoms
appear. and this course is the one
urged by the agents of the depart

CAMPING OUT SUMNER.
How a Joyous and Economical Outing
May Be Held.


May Be Held.
There are great many families

der the mistaken impression that they

one sure means of passing the heated
season in most enjoyable way and
even at less expense than is entailed
by keeping house in town. Camping
out will solve the problem, as many
people can gladly testify. 1t is always
an easy matter to find pleasant
camping site within a few miles Of
home, and it is astonishing what fun
can be derived from leading the life Of
the gypsy, to say nothing Of the re-
sultant benefits to health.
The first thing to do is to decide just
where the camp shall be located. If
possible it should be near a lake or a

Strawberry Planting.
Most fruit growers are familiar with
the pot-grown strawberry plants offer,
ed by nurserymen for setting in the
summer. says the indianapolis News.
AS rule such plants are too expen-
slve to set in any considerable mum
Der, but this is an ideal way TO OBJ
tam plants of new sorts for testing:
though much more costly than the lay
er plants one will get from them q
crop. next summer. of sufficient size to
determine the desirability Of the va
rlety. Then, too, it is possible to in
crease ones own plantation by taking
from the old beds the new plants and
setting them out in the new beds any
time this month. To do this with the
best results. cut the runner which con-
meets the new plant with the parent,
then a week later, just after rain,
dig up the young plant with a liberal
amount of soil attached to the roots
and set it with the soil on the roots
in the new bed
With care not plant will be lost
in the transplanting and these plants
will give one crop of berries next sum-
mer nearly equal to those from year
old-set plants. The precaution to take
is to have the lump Of soil aunere to
the roots SO that the growth Of the
young plant will not be materially
disturbed by the transplanting. Where
but a few hundred plants are to be
reset one can easily supply the water
to the soil necessary to make the soil
stick to the roots.
