BOX FOR TYING WOOL.

of twine is used. Both are objection
able features, says a South Dakota
sheepman who describes the two ways
of tying wool in Orange Judd Farmer
In boxing the fleece can be done up
in more compact form with the use
of less twine and is less liable to come
to pieces in handling. Buyers, how
ever, do not make any serious objec-
ton to either form when properly done.
First the shearer should endeavor to
keep the fleece in as nearly compact
form as possible. After removing all
tag locks lay the fleece flesh side down
and after closing in the edges fold over
toward the center from all sides, fold
ing over enough to make bundle
about a foot square; then turn the
fleece over on about four feet of twine,
passing 1t around the second time the
opposite way, and tie firmly. The same
process is gone through in preparing it
for the box.
Almost any one can make a wool
box. For each side take boards "a, Al
three feet long and one foot wide and
for the center three pieces (B, c, b n
foot square and hinge them together,
as shown In the cut Now saw two
notches on each Of the four sides to
hold strings, as indicated in diagram.
Cut your strings about three feet long
and lay them on the board, as indicat-
ed by dotted lines. After folding the
fleece as stated above ley it on the
hoy fold nm fhe sides then the end
pieces, fastening them with cleats. The
ends Of the strings are handy to tie to-
gether.

NAILED TO THE CROSS.
The Two Thieves That Were Cruel
fed with the Saviour.

The Two Thieves That Were Cruel
fed with the saviour.
In nine out of ten pictures of the cru
cifixion where Christ's two companions
In death are represented they are pic
tured as having been fastened to the
cross with thongs or cords. The ques-
tion naturally arises, Were the thieves
In reality bound TO their different in
struments of torture while the blessed
Saviour was nailed to his? And, IL SO,
which mode of death was considered
the more ignominlous-binding or nail
ing? The remOteness of the event and
the fact that In this case historical truth
may have been sacrificed to pictorial
effect make the above questions hard
ones to answer. The early writers al
most invariably refer to the thieves as
having been nailed to the cross, while
the early picture makers adhered to
the general rule of representing them
as having been tied or bound to their
separate crosses.
Ii we are TO give any credence to tho
story of the holy Empress Helen and
her reputed discovery Of the three
crosses in the year 329 a. D., the two
thieves were nailed to their crosses in
n manner similar to that observed in
the crucihxion OF the Saviour. This
conclusion has been settled upon for
this reason: When the three crosses
were dislnterred from tho mound In
which tradition said they had been
buried. that upon which Christ had
suffered was only distinguished from
the other two by the miracles 1t per
formed. This would certainly suffice
to prove that all three OF the instru-
ments Of torture bore similar nall
marks and that the tradition OF Christ
being the only one nailed was not
known Mt that tlme.-St. Louis Repub-

A Rot Res:ster.

Out of ffty-fve varieties OF potatoes
tested for rot at the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station the Professor Julius
Kuhn shows the greatest immunity
from injury by the blights OF any of
the varieties tested. Each year plants
of this variety have remained in fun
foliage from one to two weeks longer
than any other variety grown under
the same treatment as regards soil,
fertilizer and spraying. The average
yield of this variety for the past seven
years has been ut the rate of 2O4-2
bushels per acre. The Professor Julius
Kuhn is a German variety, long and
oval in shape, with golden yellow skin
and white flesh; season, medium TO
late. While it will probably never
prove Of value for our markets on ac-
count Of its shape, yet the experiment
station suggests that it IS worthy of at
tention from plant breeders as one OF
the parents to be used in making
crosses with other varieties which are
not so resistant to blight, but which
produce tubers of more desirable
shape for market

An old time way of proving ones
right TO the payment Of money loaned
was by tally sticks. A plain stick was
used, and when man loaned n sum a
stick was broken, and the creditor and
debtor each took n part. When tho
time for payment came the man who
had the stick which fitted exactly to
the stick held by the creditor received
the money. Two sticks never break
in exactly the same shape, 80 there
was never any dispute about who had
right to the money.

Growing ChfcDry.

The best soil for chicory is q limy,
sandy loan. Stony soil and clay soil
are equally unsuitable. The surface
soil should be deep and the subsoil
porous enough to allow the long tap
roots to penetrate foot or more. The
seed Is sown about the last week Of
May. Chicory seed is fairly hardy,
more so than corn. Just before sowing
the seed 1t is well to lightly harrow the
land to destroy young weeds. Seeds
should be sown fifteen TO twenty to the
foot, requiring two TO three pounds per
acre The rows may be twelve to fif-
teen inches apart when the cultivation
Is to be done by hand, but under horse
cultivation rows should be sixteen to
eighteen inches apart.

TYING WOOL

Boxing and the Loose Bundle-Box-
ing Common on Farms.
There are two ways of tying wool
still practiced in many sections. Both
have their advocates, and both have
their merits. Boxing, as it is called,
Is probably most commonly practiced
with wool on farms. On ranches wool
is either sacked up loose or tied in a
loose bundle
The loose bundle is preferable except
in two ways. \ loose bundle is more
apt TO come to pieces before reaching
the sorter unless too large an amount

country in favor of MEDICINES OF Known

should have some interest in the coWPo-

This bold and out-spoken movement on
the part of DIR. Pierce. has, by showing
exactly what his well-known medicines
are composed of, completely disarmed all

of the several ingredients which enter into
