Hoe Attachm ent.

American agricultural implements
are known the world over as the best
procurable, especially for saving time.
This is true both as to the large appli-
ances used ON farms and the smaller
garden implements A Texas farmer
is the inventor of a hoe attachment
applicable to hand wedding or garden
hoes of various forms and sizes. The
attachment consists of cutting blade,
which is designed to be used in detach-
ing clinging vines and runners from
the growing plants. The improved de-
vice comprises a wedding blade of the
usual form, and connected to the han
die by a shank which curves upward.
Extending from the shank is a cutting
blade, curved away from the handle
and shank
In using the implement the cutting
blade is forced forward or away from
the operator by a pushing motion,
and by its peculiar form and position
is very convenient for severing vines,
runners, creepers and similar plant
life from the stalks of the growing and
valuable plants. The implement will
also be found very convenient for
chopping corn, or thinning cotton End
other plants, and will also be found

Many farmers are very careless Of
their farm machinery 1t is a common
thing to see plows, harrows, cult
vators, moving machines and even
binders standing in the field for
months without any protection from
the elements. The direct loss from
such exposure is very great 1t
amounts to more than the use in al
most every instance
The greatest item perhaps is in loss
of time when the machine is required
for use next time. Farmers who are
careless enough to leave implements
in the field are almost invariably care
less about the belongings of such i'm
PIGMENTS. Furthermore, such men are
surrounded with help that pattern

are always shiftless characters in the
neighborhood, and they seldom hest
tate to appropriate any loose article
belonging to- these neglected machines.
and it is only natural that they should
neglect to return these things.
The loss from rust and decay, al
though considerable. is less than the
annoyance and time required to get
the different implements back into
condition the following season.-Farm

to make them permanently rigid.
These posts are formed Of a number
of tubular sections united at the joints
by collars, the latter made with sock
cts which receive the supporting
braces. Upper and lower tracks are
supported by these braces, the whole
being further braced and supported
by a span mechanism. All of the
braces, arms and other parts are made
of tubes or pipes. The rails are car
ried on the outer extremities of the
horizontal crossarms, and are arranged
in parallel pairs one above the other,
so that an upper and lower rail con-

trail posts are equipped with lateral
arms for one or more lines of cars at
each side. 1t IS claimed that by this
construction it is possible to build an
elevated structure which will stand

special provision for expansion or con-
traction in its frame work and track

veniences they are very desirable, but
the average farmer must put up with
much less. The ideal stall has space
between feed rack and gutter Of eight
feet and is five feet wide. A feed rack
is arranged so that the animal may
get at the hay or roughage easily, yet
not waste a great deal of it. At one
end of the feed rack is a feed box
sufficiently large so that the cow can
get her mouth to it without striking
her horns. The sides Of this stall con-
sist of fence with three wide boards
and runs up four or five feet high, ac-
cording to the ideas Of the owner. At
the rear there is stapled to the floor
piece of 2X4 material to keep the
bedding in place and the animal from
stepping back into the gutter. The
idea of the fencelike sides is to insure
ventilation, and if any two animals are
inclined to quarrel they can be separ-
ated by having an empty stall be-
tween or by building up higher the
dividing fence. The Illustration shows
the idea perfectly.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom-
ach Trouble.

Q. What is the beginning of sick
ness?
A. Constipation.
Q. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry of
the waste matter which lies in the ali
mentary canal where it decays and poi
sons the entire system. Eventually
the results are death under the name OF
some other disease. Note the deaths
from typhoid fever and appendicitis.
stomach and bowel trouble at the pres
ent time.
q. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call OF
nature promptly. Lack Of exercise. Ex-
cessive brain work. Mental emotion
and improper diet.
Q. What are the results Of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffer
ing than any other disease. Il causes
rheumatism, colds, fevers, stomach, bow
ell, kidney, lung and heart troubles, etc.
1t is the one disease that starts all 9TH
ers. Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea,
loss of sleep and strength are its symp-
toms-piles, appendicitis and hstula, are
caused by Constipation Its conse-
quences are known to all physicians,
but few sufferers realize their condition
until it is too late. Women become
confirmed invalids as a result of Consri-
patton.
Q. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doc
tor asks you is ''Are you constipatedY'
That is the secret.
Q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics,
such as pills, salts, mineral water, cas-
tor oil, injections. etc, every one Of
which is injurious. They weaken and
increase the malady. You know this
by your own experience.
q. What, then, should be done to cure
A. Get a bottle of MuH's Grape
Tonic at once. Mull's Grape Tonic will
positively cure Constipation and Stom-
ach Trouble in the shortest space of
time. No other remedy has before been
known to cure Constipation positively
and permanently.
Q. What is Mulps Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is a Compound with 40 per
cent Of the juice of Concord Grapes. Ii
exerts a peculiar Strengthening, healing
influence upon the intestines, so that
they can do their work unaided. The
process is gradual, but sure 1t is not
a physic, but it cures Constipation,
Dysentery, Stomach and Bowel Trouble.
Having rich. fruity grape flavor, it il
pleasant to take. As tonic it is nm
equailed, insuring the system against
disease. 1t strengthens and builds mn

SKIlLFUl HUNTING.

Five minutes Of thorough, systemat-
ic search for lost object is often more
effectuaI than half an hour of desul-
tory hunting, which, in its excited
furry, often passes in plain sight the
article which it seeks. An example
of this principle is often seen in the
case of the small boy, who, when the
family have scrambled vainly about

that he will look for it Indian fash

Care of Poultry.

The domestic fowl is very prolific,
and flock can be made to increase
rapidly If care is given. To begin
with, 500 or 1,COO hens require large
capital at the start, as the fowls must
be purchased and suitable buildings
prepared, but it is not difficult to Sc
cure large flocks on limited capital if
the beginning is made with few and
the number gradually increased, as
the increase Of the flock is also an in
crease of capital. A flock Of hens re.
turns an income daily, thus assisting

Protecting the Harness.

Every farmer appreciates that the
expense for harnesses and for harness
repairs is considerable during the
year, hence should be pleased at the
suggestion of some plan which will
enable him to keep the harness in good
condition. A harness should always
be hung up. Here is a simple plan.
Make three letter rs of strong but
light lumber and especially making
the cross bar strong. Fasten these to
a joint in a convenient place with the
cross bar at the bottom. Simply use
the arms on which to hang the differ
ent parts Of the harness. If this ar
rangement is not easy to put in opera
ton, then use hooks fastened to the
ends of stout ropes, but arranging
some way so that the ropes may be
looped back over a hook or nail during
the time they are not in use, so there
will be no danger Of any one being
