HOMEMADE SPECULUM OR DE
VICE FOR HOLDING A
HORSES MOUTH OPEN.

The following is a very handy de-
vice for a farmer or stock raiser. 1t
is very often necessary to open a
horses mouth and keep it open in
such way that a persons hand will
not be injured Take two pieces of
wood (hard wood preferred) eighteen
inches long, two inches wide and half
an inch in thickness. Next take two
5-16-inch bolts, eight inches long. A
little larger or smaller bolt will do.
Bore holes through the fiat sides about
an inch apart so as to be able to adj
just the speculum to different horses
mouths. Now place the bolts in posi-
ton through the strips. Put one bolt
in the horses mouth as you would an
ordinary bit, turning the speculum so
that one bolt will press against the
upper and lower part of the mouth
respectively. This may be attached to
the halter by means of small straps
placed through the holes (not used)
above mentioned. With the above
contrivance, a person can examine a
horses mouth with perfect safety.

OLEO IN IOWA.

The Iowa Supreme Court has HAND
ed down another decision going to
strengthen the position of the state
law on the question of oleomargarine
colored to resemble butter A Chi
cago company appealed case from
the lower court on the contention that
the law of Iowa as it relates to the
colored matter in oleomargarine is I'M
constitutional, as the color in the
oleomargarine came in naturally by
the use of ingredients natural to the
things from which oleomargarine is
made. The court holds that it makes
no difference how the color got in; IL
the coloring matter is there in suffi-
cient quantities to make the oleomar-
garine resemble butter it is an illegal
product. The court goes further and
declares that the state could, IL it
wished, prevent absolutely the sale of
oleomargarine The decision also re-
cites that the original intention in the
manufacture of oleomargarine was to
make it so resemble butter that the
consumer could not tell 1t from the
thing it initiated and thus permit the
dealers to sell it for butter.

FARM NOTES.

Early cultivation is the most i'm
portant.
1t adds quite nice sum to the
value of horse to know that he is
trusty.
Manure for the garden should be
thoroughly rotted and fined before
applying.
One advantage in keeping pigs
thrifty is that they are always ready
for market.
A growing young horse may have
the size, but it requires time to give
stamina.
In nearly all cases, so far as condi-
tions of the soil will admit, potatoes
should be planted deep.
So far as can be done, the best plan
of management is to haul out and
scatter the manure as fast as made.
It is necessary that a COW eat a
large quantity of feed, but 1t is not
every cow that has that capacity.
A tree in poor ground cannot bear
because it requires all the strength
it can extract from the soil to sustain
it's life.
Sawdust and rotten chips, which
gradually collect in term Of years
in the woodpile, have manurial
value too often overlooked.
Alternate fattening and starving
will not longer pay in the process of
making a certain weight of meat from
a certain quantity of food.
The object in pruning the grape is
to lessen the amount of fruit and in.
crease it's quality and to enable the
vine to mature it's fruit early.
Breeding from immature stock has
a tendency to degenerate the offspring
and gradually deteriorate their vital
ity, size, growth and development.

RURAL PHILOSOPHY.

IT amt every Teller with big shoes
that's well heeled.
The sensible man is the man who
always agrees with you.
Some folks will find fault even when
g. Teller does his best.
The Teller that knows the least gen.
orally insists on tellin' the most.
No single man or woman ever con-
cedes that marriage is a failure.
Pessimists are generally men with
long hair and women with short hair.
The woman that's on the shelf al
ways lowers herself when she gets
married.
Real happiness and religion are
about the only things a man can't get
wrongfully.
All women may not be mind read
crs, but there's a mighty few that
amt mind speakers.
A Teller with good hearing is often
as deaf as a post when you want to
borrow a dollar.
II swallowing words give man in
digestion, there's lots of fellers with
incurable cases.
Folks that's so deaf they never
know il thunders never miss hearin'

WANTED-A MAN!

The world has a standing advertise
ment over the door of every profes-
sion, every occupation and every
calling: "Wanted-A Mani"
Wanted-a man who is larger than
his calling, who considers it low es'
innate of his occupation to value 1t
merely as a mean of getting living
Wanted-a man who sees self-de-
velopment, education, discipline and
drill, character and manhood in his
occupation.
A thousand business positions va
cant in every city; five thousand
men idle in the same city, while a
thousand employment agents scour
the land for men to fill those same va
cant positions and scour in vain, is
sufficient indication of the large
ness of the opportunities of the age,
and also of the crying need for good
men.
Wanted-a man who is well-bal'
anced: who is not cursed with some
defect or weakness which cripples his
usefulness and neutralizes his pow
ers.
Wanted-a man who mixes common
sense with his theories; man who is
cpntented to win his victories in prac-
teal, everyday life.
The whole world is looking for the
right kind of man. Although there are
a million out of employment, yet it is
almost impossible to find just the
right man in almost every department
o. life. Every profession and every oc'
cupation has standing advertise
ent all over the world: "Wanted-A
Man."
Let this reflection spur us on to do
our best and make the most of our op-
unities.-EXchang

WORTH Remembering.

There are three entirely different
Finds of ingredients used In making
the three different varieties OF baking
powders on the market, viz:-U Min
eral-Acid or Alum, CD Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and CD Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. 1t is important,
from the standpoint Of health, to
know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
Cd Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from q kind of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil Of vitriol and from
this solution a product is obtained
which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs
about two cents pound, and baking
powder made with this MineralAcid
sells from 10 to Csc. pound.
CD Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to large manufac-
turer Of a phosphate powder. The U.
S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground.
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents pound.
CD Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture OF
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, boil
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
Of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. 1t DIFFERS in
no respect from the form in which 1t
originally existed in the grape. Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream Of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to so cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule Baking
powders selling from 10 to rs cents
pound are made of Mineral-Acids;
those selling from 20 to 80 cents Of
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream of Tartar made from
grapes.
Charlevoix county herald., 1905-06-10
SKUNkS, SNAKES AND TOADS

Walking thirty rods across a wheat
field, we counted eighty-four places
where the skunks had dug out grub
worms, and the same conditions could
be seen all over the twenty-acre field.
On one square rod there were sixteen
holes, each representing a dead grub
worm. Now the skunk does sometimes
break up an old hen that has stolen
her nest, but the good he does as an
insect destroyer repays many times
the damage he does.
The boys killed a small snake in
the barn and an examination showed
three mice in its stomach. All of our
snakes, excepting the rattlesnake and
the copperhead, are harmless, and do
the farmer a great deal of good by
destroying mice, moles and insects. A
tbv0e-foot snake about the barns or
corn-cribs will do more good to rid
then of rats than will half a dozen
cats.
a few days ago we saw some boys
XII a toad, and they said they had
killed four that morning. 1t is said
tina, a toad eats twice its weight in
insects every week, and everyone
knows that it is absolutely harmless
in every way. The skunk, the snake
and the toad are not very pleasant
things to look upon, but they should
nos be injured or killed.

JAPANESE PLUMS.

According to a report of the On
tario station the Japanese plums are
proving successful as far north as
Georgian bay. Experts declare that
the northern line of the successful
growing Of Japanese plums runs from
northeast to southwest. West of Lake
Michigan it begins at about the vicin-
ity of Chicago, slanting in the direc-
ton named. This will show why Jap
anese plums have been SO seldom prof
liable in northern Illinois and Iowa.
While the American wheat grower
is wondering why there is not greater
European demand for his grain, and
the Yankee miller cannot understand
the dearth of orders for his flour, it is
to be noted that the Argentine is ex-
porting increased quantities of wheat
and corn. Since January last its ex-
ports of wheat have exceeded the
same period in 1904 by more than TO-
100000 bushels, and it's corn exports
are 100000 bushels greater than those
for the first five months of 1904. That
it is the price at which the American
cereal is held that is narrowing our
market and giving it to other people
is not to be doubted and 1t is equally
certain that other lands will be en-
couraged to increase their productions
if they find they can do so with profit.
At present there is no apparent pros
pect for exports of American wheat
during the coming autumn.

WATER FOR PLANTS.

Our friend the scientist states that
for land to do it's best its water con-
tent should be steadily maintained
to within from 40 to so per cent of sat-
uration. Prof. Kind tells us that where
this has been maintained by the ap-
plication OF the needed water their
smallest yield was four tons of dry
matter peracre, and the largest seven
teen tons, and an average of over
seven tons when twenty-five cases
were tried. We all know that that is
very much in excess Of what most of
us are doing. We also know that all
plant food in the soil is soluble in
water under certain conditions. and
that all plant food with perhaps one
valuable exception, that of carbon) is
taken into the plant through mois-
ture that is in the soil. This being
the case, no matter how rich our soil
may be, If it is perfectly dry the plant
has no means of getting hold of the
plant food. The vegetable matter is
made available through millions Of
bacteria that are in the soil. Our
plant corn takes $3.50 gallons per
acre each day less moisture to bring
it to perfection than any other crop
we sow, using some 230 tons of water
to grow one ton of dry matter; Dent
corn 300, and other crops varying
amounts, till we reach oats, which
use from 500 to 700 tons. An apple
tree, during the time it produces it's
fruit, will use $50 gallons per day, or
on an acre, with the trees So feet
apart, $3.50 gallons per day. Prof.
King tells of four stalks of corn that
used in thirteen days as they were
coming to tassel 1906 pounds of wa
ter, or nearly three pounds of water
for each stalk per day. This gives us
some idea of the importance which
moisture has in the growth of plants
