The illustration shows a device for
n hay box. which should be in every
stable. This box May bc made of any
dimensions desired and reaches from
the loft to just above the manager in
the stall below, placing it at a height
so that the horse a get at the hay
readily. AS shown in the cut the box
should be wider at thc bottom than
at the top to prevent the hay from
lodging. The open space below should
be fitted with two or more light iron
bars to prevent the animal from pulling
out too much Of the hay at a time
and wasting it.
In the lower part of the drawing ts

used in this box so that the chaff and

Common ahle Example,

The popular after Inner speaker rose
to respond to a toast.
"Gentlemen,' he said, "the %unexpect-
eddy fattering manner in which your
POSTMASTER has introduced me this even
ing reminds Inc of a story which strikes
me as being appropriate to the occasion.
BY the way. how many of you have heard
the story of The Pennsylvania farmer and
the young wolf he bought for a coon
dog? Will those who are familiar with
it from having listened to it half a dozen
times or more please raise their hands,"
An overwhelming majority of his audi
tors raised their hands,.
Thanks. gentlemen" he said. II shall
not infict it upon YOU"
With their rapturous applause still
ringing in his ears he sat down.
He had made the hit of the evening.

From experiments carried on with
chemically pure limo and sulphur. 1t
appears to the author of n government
bulletin that solid sulphur is not dis
solved by boiling fifteen minutes, but
that the best results are obtained by
boiling from forty-6ve to sixty min
utes. A boiling period of II hour
is sufficient to dissolve nearly all of
the sulphur, but the th~iosulphates are
somewhat increased by a longer period.
Salt apparently has no influence
upon the composition of the wash In
SO far as the sulphur compounds are
concerned. The slight differences in
the composition OF the wash, as Used
ny different Investigators, have little or
no influence upon the time required
for boiling. When lime and sulphur
are used In equal quantities there Is
more than enough lime to dissolve the
sulphur. These substances may be
used in the proportion of one pound of
lime to one and ~one-quarter pounds of
sulphur. About twenty-five pounds of
sulphur to fifty gallons Is u maximum
quantity. H.,
1t appears that the use of alr-slaked
lime has no influence OF the compo-
sition Of the wash, and that there Il
likewise practically no difference III
composition whether flowers of sal
phur Or flour of sulphur is used. lie
tailed notes are also given on the com
position Of lime-sulphur wash with
particular reference to the different
kinds OF sulphur compounds. 1t Is
found that not all of the sulphur Is
dissolved by the heat generated by
caustic soda, but the suggestion is
made that a wash containing ter
pounds of caustic soda and nineteen
pounds of sulphur per fifty gallons OF
water without lime may give satisfac
tory results.

That the battlefield was not the only
scene of personal danger to General
Grant is shown by the following oc-
currence, taken from Rear-Admiral
Ammen's "Old Navy and New" AS a
small boy the Admiral was a near
nelghbor Of the little General, and the
two lads were comrades in the outdoor
world of youthful adventure. Ammen
was about 10 years Of age, and Grant
two years younger, when one day the
two went fishing.
The small stream was much swollen
with rain, swift and turbid. A large
poplar log offered a tempting seat as
it projected over the water. and Grant
scrambled out. upon it. He lost his bal
ance and fell. head first, into. the rapid
ly flowing, muddy stream.
Ammen had bat a second for
thought, but he grasped the situation
instantly. He ran down the stream
for a few yards to where the banks
narrowed and a willow-tree dropped
low over the water. With the celebrity
Of a boy lie made his way out into the

panion was borne In reach, grabbed
him and drew him out of the water.
The young Ulyssse had on a gorge
ously striped red-and-white Marseilles
shirt-waist, and Ammen's first thought
as he rescued him was that that OBJ
ject of his admiration was ruined.
Fifty years later General Grant
wrote to Admiral A1nmen:

Admiral Leroy and saw all the off,

The Carter Medicine Co., Of New

Farmers Not to Blame.

terested In the enactment n enforce
ment OF pure food laws. Not that they
are particularly affected by food adpl-
teration, for they take almost every
thing they eat right from the hand Of
nature. But they are concerned that
the stuff they produce shall reach the
city nelghbor who uses 1t as fresh. pure
and wholesome as possible.
It is in a way a reflection upon the
farmer that milk, butter, fruits and
other things which come from the
farms Of the country are impure and
SO calculated to work injury to the
life and health Of the nation. So they
are doing all in their power to bring
about tht best legislation on this sub
ject. They also desire that the laws
already enacted shall be put into effect.
Therefore they welcome the suggcs-
ton Of DR.. Wiley, chief Of the bureau
of chemistry of the department Of agri-
culture at Washington, that the ma.
tional government shall set the stand
ard for pure milk at 1926 per cent OF
butter fat
Our farmers are now producing mill
that averages very closely to 4 per cent
Few Of them are satisfied with any,
thing below that point. And they dc
not like to be told, as they have beer
many times, that the average for milb
sold in the markets Of the country il
far below that standard. 1t is no
their fault that it is SO, and they wan
the crime, for it is little less than s
crime to thus debase the milk supply

the State experiment station, Is not
only a beauty, but has other good quail
ties. The apples are sometimes deeper
on n side than the other, but gen
orally quite symmetrical. The weight
seems to average a fraction above half
a pound. Other points are:
Color, deep purplish red, sometimes
completely so, again only or largely ON
the exposed side; striped. with deeper
purple and pale waxen yellow; when
fully ripe, with ocher yellow, the stripes
contracting and extending into the cav
ity at the calyx end marked with evi-
dent oeher yellow dots, these becoming
especially conspicuous where the pur-
plish red is deepest; region about the
calyx end sometimes extensively waxen
yellow.
Flesh white at first, becoming creamy
when thoroughly ripe flavor not strik-
iEs, but pleasant; subacid; skin rather
tough, thus calculated to protect it
from insect and fungous injury and to
render it a good shipper. Rin Sept

use, 1t ripens at a time when few APP
pies as good r in a condition for

gone and the late ones not yet sufi-
GENTLY ripe. 1t keeps very well, be-
coming finally in October mellow and
agreeable as an eating apple. 1t cooks
well before this final change, making
good sauce, but proving especially ac-
ceptable when baked. Unfortunately

coloring of the Fall Beauty. In bear
ing it is as regular as Rome Beauty

Capital

Capital punishment is still practised
In many countries, though Of late years,
especially in the United States. it has
been made as humane as possible. That
creation Of the French Revolution, the
guiiiotine, is still used by some coun-
tries, and the old eXecutioner's ak deals
out Justice in Brunswick.
The most humane method OF execu-
ton, the electric chair, Is used only
In the United States. Spain employs
the garrote, or iron collar, which Is
frightened until the victim strangles to
death; and IN Prussia the heads Of
prisoners are struck off with the sword.
The guillotine is used in Bavaria and
Belgium: and Russia destroys her
criminals by shooting, hanging, and
with the executioner's sword. The gal
lows is the official means Of administer
ing death in Great Britain; Austria
has adopted the same means; but Chi
nese criminals are killed by the sword.
