SECOND WIND.


II Cores When All the Lung Cells
Are In Full Play.
The following is popular explana-
ton Of what is known as second wind.
In ordinary breathing we use only a
portion of our lungs, the cells at the
extremity not being brought into play
This is the reason why those who are
not in training when they try to run
for any distance soon begin to gasp
and unless they are resoiute enough to
persevere in spite of this choking SEN
sation are forced to stop, but If they
persevere the choking goes of, and
they acquire what is known as second
wind.
When this second wind is fully es-
tablished the runner does not again
lose his breath, but can run in comfort
as long as bis legs will carry him. The
fact is that on starting the farthest
portions Of the lungs are choked with
air and the remainder do not supply
enough to meet the increased circula-
ton induced by exercise.
BY degrees. however, the neglected
cells come into play. SO that when the
entire lung Is in full working order
the circulation and respiration again
balance each other, and second wind
Is the result.

The truth is that the presence of a
flock of sheep on a farm that appears
to be thrifty and happy May always be
accepted as a certificate of the ability
and good character of the farmer, not
only as such, but as man as we'll.
This criterion has such natural coin
cidence that it strikes even the mex
perienced passerby, as it did well
known missionary, good man who
did vast amount of good in the early
days and who used to say that when
travelling on mission he would all

NOTES FOR THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
Food For YOUNG Chfclxa.

The question Of food for the newly
hatehed chicks is an important one in
order that the young fowls may be
started right Believing that dry
food, unmixed with water. is best, /
have for two seasons fed our young
chickens a bread made Of gluten feed,
says Mr.. Spartan in American Agris
rulturist. On bake days part Of the
sponge set for the white bread of the
family is used for the chicken bread,
and with this and the gluten feed are
mixed little salt, sugar and. when
convenient, small scraps Of meat, or
the DRAWINGS from frying pan may be
added.
The mixture Is stiffened to batter,
poured into pan and set to rise, after
which it is carefully tended in the
oven, like the family baking. The lit
tie chickens like this bread and grow
and thrive upon it. Where gluten can
not be obtained cornIneal may be sub
stituted, with good results.

Angora Cents In Maine.

Director Woods of the Maine expert
ment station says that Angora goats
have proved effective in clearing up
the underbrush in woodland covered
with birch or evergreen. They will
likely kill other varieties except very
large trees. They will clear out bushes
and waste growth in pastures in pref
erence even to the grasses.
The flesh has flavor between that
of lamb and venison. The careasses
are small. and there is no market in
the east for the flesh.
The mohair from the crosses brings
somewhat higher price than wool.
Three pounds per animal is about all
that can be expected from seven
eighths bred goats.

Ruxinr stock swine.

Never buy an animal simply because
he has pedigree and because he is on
sale at a low price, says American
CuItiyator. Pedigree alone does not
constitute merit, for there are animals
with pedigrees a foot long which
would ruin any herd into which they
were introduced The next class, the
farmers pig, is that which is not good
enough for the breeder of high class
stock. This animal may be bit
coarse and not up to standard, but he
is a good growthy or prolific sort
which the pork producer will be glad
to have. The next kind includes the
culls, runts and inferior specimens,
which should be turned into butchers
meat as soon as possible. Under no
circumstances whatever should they
be used as breeders.

THE HALIFAX GIBBET.
A Sort of GuiIlotine That Was Once
Used In England.


An ancient law of Hardwick forest
tract coextensive with Halifax par
ish. is sung by Taylor the water poet;
At Halifax the law so sharpe doth deale
That whose more than thirteen pence doth
steale,
They have jim that wondrous quick and
Sends thieves all headless into heaven or
helle.
This "jin" resembled the guillotine
in construction and stood on a stone
scaffold, unearthed when Gibbet hill
was leveled. The ak is preserved.
This. the only guillotine used In Eng
land, was. the forerunner of the maid
en- introduced into Scotland by Re
gent Morton and now in the Edinburgh
Antiquarian museum. The Halifax
gibbet" was last used in 1850 and the
maiden" for Lord Argyll in 1861 and
his son in 1855. who spoke of it as the
sweetest maiden he ever kissed.
DR.. Guillotine did not invent the ma
chine. DR.. Louis constructed one in
1901, the "Louison,' but the name
''guillotine'' became general from the
burst of surgical enthusiasm. in which
DR.. Guillotlne, in 1889, after deploring
the tedious torture Of hanging, ex-
claimed. "With my machine l strike

The destruction of weeds by means
of spraying seems to be a possibility Of
the future. says New York Farmer.
Last year those who used five pounds
of blue vitriol in hundred gallons Of
water were quite successful in killing
wild mustard, spraying when the
plants were dat just before the stalks
began to shoot up. It would appear
that six to eight pounds Of vitriol to a
hundred gallons of Water would be still
more effective.
