Axle grease pays 1000 per cent

The best drivers talk much to their

Plants growing near the sea have
thicker leaves than those growing in
land. Apparently the sea salt is the
cause Of this phenomena, as plants
cultivated in artincially -salted soil
yield thicker leaves.
Good ventilation, clean bedding and
plenty of light and comfortable stalls
are also necessary in the COW stable.
Dusty bedding and any feed that Is
dusty will seed It with millions of

A Fighting Cow.

No fewer than six persons are at
present suffering from injuries inflict-
ed by csw, evidently of Texas fight
ing stock, which broke loose in the
streets Of an English town, a few days
ago, creating extraordinary scenes.
The animal was being led by a halter,
but when near the slaughter house it
suddenly rushed at the man under
whose charge it was, and tossed him
high in the air. Extraordinary excite
ment at once arose, as the animal bolt
ed from street to street, attacking or
frightening all it saw. A little girl,
aged seven, was wounded in the thigh
with its horns, and a man knocked
down. Leaving the town the animal
directed Its course towards the village,
whence it had been brought. A farm
er who attempted to capture it was
gored in the thigh, and finally the
casualty list" was brought to a close
by a man in Norden yard, which it had
left two hours previously, having one

Almost Satisfied.

Congressman Broussard, of Louisi-
ana, says that at New Iberia, his
State, in the early '90s, when that dis
trict was visited by severe flood, one
of the expeditions for relief organized
by the government one day encoun-
tered an old negro who, in dilapi-
dated dugout, was having considerable
trouble in keeping atloat The old fell
low was busy padding with one hand,
while he bailed out his craft with the
other.
At this juncture the relief boat came
within hailing distance, and the cap
tain called out:
Hello, there, uncle! Anything you
want"
"Nothin' 'cept wings, boss" was the
grim reply.

Eggs by the Million,

The western part Of Virginia has
been known for years as a great sec
ton for raising poultry, and the in
dustry is increasing at a rapid rate.
The shipment Of Thanksgiving turkeys
and chickens for all seasons brings in
considerable revenue. In Rocking
ham county last year, 10000 crates
were shipped to market, a total Of TO-
100000 eggs sold from one county in
a single year. This does not include
many thousands consumed on the
farms where they were laid. The low
est price Of the year was ii to IS cents
a dozen, and in December 80 cents was
paid. The average for the last year
was % cents. The profit from eggs
alone to Rockingham county farmers
was nearly 100000.

Shade for Poultry.

1T is easy to give the poultry the
needed shade when the range is fairly
well covered with trees or even small
brush, but where 1t is entirely open
poultry suffer so much from the heat
of the sun that the freedom does them
little good; indeed, it would be bet
ter for them to be confined in large
yards, where they might have shade
during the day and a run on the
grass after the sun goes down. How
ever, it is not an expensive plan to ar
range a number of tents on the open
range by erecting a frame Of light
strips of wood and covering this frame
with unbleached muslin. By sharpen
ing the ends Of the posts the frame
may be secured to the ground, yet

Tank for Dipping Sheep.

idhh iOT DlppiuS Shccps
There are several plans for making
a tank In which to dip sheep, and If
one has flock of considerable size it
is wise to obtain some of the plans
that are offered by manufacturers. If,
however, the flock is not large, home
made affair is easily built and at COM
paratively small cost. A tank Of this
kind is made as follows: A convenient
size is ten feet long, four feet wide
and two and one-half feet deep. II
should be made so that the tank con-
tanning the dip is reached by slat-
ted walkway leading down to it, and
another Slated walk leading up to the
landing from which they go down into
the tank
There should be sufficient of the dip
mixture placed in the tank to cover
the back of the animal, which should
be immersed for about one minute,
then allowed to come up on the land

Investigating the Soils.

For the sake Of supplying definite
and absolutely reliable information in
regard to every square mile of land
in the 3,622,933 which compose the
area of the United States of America,
Uncle Sam, through the Bureau of
Soils of the Department of Agricul-
ture, will spend eighteen years and
at least $6OOO,OOO. When the work
of the Bureau of soils has been COM
pleted, it will be possible for man
intending to purchase farm to write
to the Department of Agriculture, and
secure from that department a detail
ed map of the section in which his
farm Is located, together with a de-
scription of the section. Then by look
ing up his intended purchase on the
map and consulting the descriptive
booklet, he can determine to a nicely
its value. The map will show by diff
erent colors the nature of the soil,
while the descriptive booklet will tell
its value which has been determined
by examination of the soil, study of the
railroad facilities, and the examina-
ton of the markets and other qualify
ing conditions. The soil maps and
booklets will enable many farmers,
who have been only partially success.
full, to learn wherein they have failed
by trying to raise crops unadapted to
the nature of their lands, and will in
struct them as TO what crops are best
suited to their farms. 1t will instruct
them also as to the best methods Of
cultivating soils of different kinds.
While the examination of soils has
been carried on for perhaps hundred
years by labora tory methods, the pres
ent investigation is along entirely diff.
ferent and far more practicable lines
The soils division was established as
separate bureau of the Department
of Agriculture on July /, 1901, and
since that time it's force has been in.
creased more than twelvefold. Up tc
December 81, 1904, the bureau has
mapped SS,S55 square miles, In small
patches scattered over the whole Unit
ed States, and it is estimated thai
eighteen years more will be required
to complete the work.

Concrete for Farm Uses.

In many sections concrete buildings
are being constructed on farms, and
that they are likely to be desirable is
probable just as soon as builders have
little more experience in construct
ing them. At present it is safer to
confine ones operations In concrete to
floors, and that there ought to be more
concrete floors in farm buildings there
Is no doubt. They may be quite ex.
pensive in the first cost but they are
the cheapest floors In the end If prop
erly constructed. There need be no
elaborate selection of material simply

The foundation ground should be

BIGGEST WINDMILL OF ALL.
Pumps Water Into Golden Gate Park
in Sap Francisco,

in Sap Francisco.
The largest windmill in the United
States, if, indeed, not the largest in the
whole world, has recently been con-
structed near San Francisco. This
gigantic mill is located directly on the
ocean beach, near the famous seal
rocks. 1t is used for pumping water
up into Golden Gate Park.
The huge, strong wooden tower sup
porting the wind arms rises 130 feet.
1t is 40 feet square at the base, Sc
curely anchored and gradually tapers
upward, assuming round shape.
There are four immense wooden
arms, or vanes. Each arm measures
80 feet from the center or hub-thus
making a diameter of 160 feet in de-
scribing the circle. The wind vanes
are feet wide and extend nearly the
entire length of the huge arms.
This windmill is located upon a
prominent elevation, SO that it may
catch every available wind arising in
that section,
This colossal windmill Is capable OF
developing 5O-horse power. Its pump
ing capacity is 100000 gallons Of wa
ter every twenty-four hours.
The water is taken from the wells
and forced through a large iron main
sixteen inches in diameter, for nearly
four miles up into an immense reser.
voir several hundred feet higher thar
| the ocean beach. From this reservoir
the water is distributed in all direc
tions through the park. e
During the dry, hot season the arms
of this giant windmill are kept whirl
ing day and night to supply the thirsty
demand AS the mill stands on the
wide, open beach, there is rarely, il
ever, any lack of wind; in fact, the
winds OCCASIONALLY blow with such VIC
lence that the mill is compelled to be
shut down, as 1t would be risky to at
tempt to run 1t during fierce gale

Two Mistakes.

A farmer who had frostbitten corn
thought 1t worthless. So in 1903 he
failed to save 1t. He found, through
neighbor's. experience, that stock
would live on 1t alone through the
winter. Another mistake was in not
preparing plenty Of insectcide, by rea-
son Of which potatoes were destroyed
by chinch bugs. On the other hand,
cabbage was great success, some
weighing as much rs twenty pounds.
He saved these from bugs by killing
them by hand.
