Prevents Mud Around Tank.

To prevent mud hole forming

is dug the size Of the tank to q depth

Ancient Masonic Charm Found at Or.
Chard Lake Mich

Last fall a Masonic charm was found
buried on the east shore of Orchard lake.
Michigan. 1t bore the date 1870 and
Masonic emblems on both sides. 1t was
a rude affair, being a small piece of
stone with amateur carving.
The charm finally came into the pos
session of DR.. E. Orion of Pontiac, who
learned that the charm is the property Of
A. H. Washburn, to whose father it was
presented by Col. Hezekiah Butter
worth.
Col. Butterworth was wounded at the
battle of Lewiston, and on his death bed
gave the charm to the elder Washburn.
1t was carved by an American soldier
on the date given, 1890.
DR.. Orion will ask Washington for
Col. Butterworth's record and if possible
establish the identity of the charm. The
charm has been lost for forty-eight
years, Washburn losing it shortly after
it was given him by his father

he Is not up IN his profession. We Of

GOATS DID THE MOVING.
In Two Summers Cleared a Hillside of
Brush and Briars.

y flock of Angora goats were put on a
rocky hillside that it was desired 10 have
cleared and gotten into grass. says a
writer in Country Life in America. 1t
was such tangle of brush and briers
that it was difficult to make a way
through it.
The goats actually ate their way in
until it was penetrated with paths in all
directions. After the leaves within
reach were eaten they would stand on
their hind feet with their forefeet in the
branches and so eat the leaves higher
up, or, if the brush was not too large,
would throw their weight against and
bend il to the ground. where others
would help strip it of its foliage.
The leaves would come out again only
to be eaten off. then sprouts would come
from the roots to share the same fate,
until at the end of the second summer
everything in the shape of bush not
over six feet tall, except the pines and
laurel, was completely killed. and white
clover was beginning to appear.

Heavy Draft Animals.

At q recent Missouri Association
meeting, Prof Kennedy spoke as fol-
lows about the heavy draft horse:
The heavy draft horse weighs from
1,600 to 1000 pounds, and is worth, at
minimum, 5000. Each of the first
two additions Of a hundred pounds
above 1000 increases the value of the
horse $50, after which every addition in
weight means $50 a hundred pounds
SO a draft horse of 1900 pounds is
worth $780, Light draft horses, weigh
ing from 300 to 900 pounds, are used
for express wagons, fire engines and
other heavy but quick work. These
bring about 1925 to 5000. The high
acting carriage or coach horse is worth
from 5000 to $4,000. The roadster or
gentlemans driving horse, and the gait
ed saddle horse vary from 5000 to $500
respectively up to $1,000. In the last
ten years there has been an advance
Of % per cent in the draft horses of
Iowa and Missouri.

l think very fayorably of hard wood
ashes for orchard use as dressing for
the soil, says well-known orchard
owner. 1t appears that we get results
from their use altogether out of proror-
ton to the amount OF phosphoric acid
and potash they contain, and that this
must be credited to the effects OF the
lime they contain upon the soil con-
tents. The chemist tells US that the
lime potash, etc, contained in wood
ashes are in the best possible form for
plant use. | would want more phos-
phoric acid than the ashes contain, and
would prefer to add it in the shane of
steamed bone rather than acid phos-
plate. [ have used large quantities Of
acid phosphate in the past, and still
favor its use, but not in combination
with either wood ashes or common
lime.
