GETTING TT CREDITED RIGHT.
Another Instance of the Success of
Perslsteney.

Every time I visit Maine l hear
new series of stories concerning Camp
Meeting John Allen, grandfather Of
Nine. Nordica, and one of the most
picturesque characters of his time.
Apropos of the rate laws, one very in
teresting story is told. 1t occurred
when Gov. Morrill, was president of
the Maine Central. Aliens applica-
lions were refused number of times,
because if there was one thing above
all others which Morrill, disliked it was
to issue passes; an antipathy which
is now regarded as a kind of prophecy
of recent legislative enactment. The
governor came down to his Office In a
somewhat brusque frame of mind that
day. Those familiar with the storm
signals quietly backed off and waited
for an explosion. 1t came. One of
the first letters opened was from
Camp Meeting John Allen, requesting
a pass for self and wife" The Sec
rotary approached his chief with some
hesitation.
Here is another letter from Mr..
Allen asking for pass, ne said,
and laid the missive gingerly on the
governors desk.
The governor read it through, and
blazed away for few minutes; then,
tossing the letter to the astonished
secretary, he said: Make it out"
The young man retired and began
to fill in the various blank lines, but
when he came on what account" the
pass was issued, he was puzzled and
ventured to seek information.
ION what account, governor? he
asked.
The chief looked irately over hij
spectacles.
Account, ccount?-account of did
persistence-be sure and put it in,
too" and he growled as the young
man passed out: These Methodist
parsons may have to get us all passes
on the road to heaven, and want the
Maine central to have good connec-
lions with Camp Meeting John Aliens

The Potato crop.

The potato crop is one of the best
crops that any farmer can grow. Po-
tatoes exhaust the land little in COM
parison with the money value of the
crop. The tubers are composed very
largely Of water and starch, and the
leaves and salks fall on the field and
are plowed in. There are few diseases
that attack the potato, and they can
mostly be controlled by spraying.
Only one insect of importance has to
be fought, and that is the Colorado
beetle. 1t is so big and easily found.
that destroying it is merely ques-
ton of effort. Potato growing there
fore seems to have less obstacles in
its way than several other kinds Of
effort on the farm.

feet in length as seen at A; and four
pieces of AKA, 8 feet long, as at B, with
the braces made from 1x16 inch stuff.
The frame should be firmly put to-
gether.
E is an iron rod one inch thick and
"a inches long. Make a bend in the
rod 11z feet from one end to which a
treadle is attached to be worked with
the foot. This treadle is fastened to
the frame with leather hinges.
A grindstone wheel, F. is placed on
the rod at one end just inside the
frame, explains the Prairie Farmer,
while at the further end a wagon
wheel is fastened to the rod outside
the frame. A crank, G, can be added
if desired.

WINTER BARN THOUGHTS.
Have the Comfort Of Live Stock in
Mind ard Provide Good Conditions.


Winter is a hard time for the stock
of the farm, the best way we can fix
it. When you stop to think that natur-
ally stock are out-of-door creatures,
roaming in the fields, breathing the
pure, fresh air, and then think how
changed are the conditions when they
come to be shut up in tight barns for
such long portion of the year, it be-
comes evident that the tendency must
be toward weakness and disease. So
it stands US in hand to make the CON
ditions just as nearly like those Of
summer as we can. That is, we should
do our best to give the stock good
feed, feed that shall be nourishing,
and at the same time plenty of air
that is free from disease germs.
1t must be that a great deal Of the
sickness, such as tuberculosis, comes
from breathing the same air over and
over again in the close stables of our
country.
By running a board shaft from the
stable, very near to the floor clear up
to the roof, we may take good deal
that air that has been breathed once
becomes heavier than it is at first.
| There are loads of impurity in simply
| air that has been used in the lungs
of man or beast. This settles toward
the floors. The shaft l have spoken
/ of will take that air, and there being
more or less of draft through such
/ ~ ~ a4w \
while pure air will come in from be-
low.
This pure air ought not to come in
so that the cattle, must stand all the
time in a draft The windows should
be arranged so that they may furnish
air without bringing a draft. Again,
these windows ought to be windows,
and not simply board slides. Good
sash windows that are fitted with
hinges to turn up out of the way are
by far the best. They let in light,
which is the greatest germ destroy
er on the face of the earth.
And then, cattle should be groomed
every day. l know, writes Edgar L.
Vincent, in Farmers Voice, some
| lO1hS AnlAh ILLS 10 d NdSlC VI lA41C-
, You will hear some men argue that
it actually harms cattle to be
+ scratched with a currycomb. II
seems to me that these men do not
take a very reasonable view Of the
+ matter. Just look at cattle that are
, not thus cared for. The minute they
! are out in the yard they begin to rub
and lick and dig themselves agains
every fence post or anything else thel
can get to, as if their hides were il
perfect misery, as 1 have no doub
they are. We ought to save our stool
from this trouble by giving them |
good currying every day.
With good feed and water, witt
: well-ventilated barns and good groom
: ing, any man can keep his stock in
Z healthy condition, even in winter
y And such things pay, for the work tn
COWS do next year will largely Deepen
- on the way they come out in tn
e spring. There never should be sue
= a thing as spring poor" Spring ia
is a far better term to use.

Uses Glass for Bread Board.

Our great earthquake last year broke
one of the large plate glass windows
in my husbands store. He cut me
a good-sized piece from one of the
fragments, and I find it the best bread
board l have ever used. AS the edges
are easily made safe by rubbing them
with fine file wet with camphorated
turpentine, it makes a convenient and
useful board" Dough will not stick
to it as readily as to wood. 1t is fine
for use with French candies aud so
forth.-The Housekeeper.

Scoop and Tile. the ditch. This
advice, when began, would have been
worth $50 to me, says a writer in
Farm and Home. The second course
need not be so wide, if for laterals,
and you need not cut the sides, but
thrust your spade in, cutting lightly on
one side and deeper on the other; then
contrariewise push forward to break
loose, then lift out. Keep your scoop
lying near you, and when you have
gone far enough so you can reach
back, scoop out the crumbs before
they become slushy.
Be very precise with the spade in
the last course. If you strike soft
soil don't even allow a half-inch va
ration. Then when the crumbs are
removed the floor is almost ready to
lay a perfect drain. True up bottom
with scoop. Take two-inch piece, re
inforced at one end, and nail or bolt
foot piece on this to hold the tile
Tuck them into the trough and you'll
have done one thing that will be q
Joy forevermore.
In meeting distractions, if they dc
not throw you out of line too much
cut back under the bank six or eigh
feet on each side and you can ge
around nicely without removing them
A manure hook is very convenien
for drawing in sods in filling, but OF
large joys pillow with long whifae
tree, or road grader, can be used.

THIS AND THAT.

1t pays to have good fences at all
seasons of the year.
A poor old lantern is a bad thing
to go through the winter with.
Throw it away and buy a good one.
Fall blowing kills many injurious
Insects, which are thus turned up to
the air and the frosts.
1t makes a great difference what
variety of plant is grown on a farm,
as some yield twice as much as
others.
There is a great fight on between
commercial fertilizers and the ma
nure spreader. The latter, however,
seems to be still spreading.
After finishing the fall blowing
clean up the pillow, grease the bright
parts and put it away dry. so it will
be ready to use in the spring.

period draws to a close? That his cat
tie have, perhaps, fattened to about
the same proportion as when he used
his own materials, grown on his farm
and possibly supplemented by ground
eed from the local mill or feed store.
These balanced rations are often
found, by analysis, to consist of the
tailings" of mills, elevators and brew
cries mixed with mol4sses and salt to
make the compound palatable to the
cattle. And one of the largest stock
food companies is said to use fine
sawdust finely ground to cheaply bring
up the weight of his product. Instead
of buying a superior and expensive
balanced ration" containing high fat
tening qualities and acting as a tonic,
he has paid high price for a feed
containing, along with ordinary grains,
finely ground alfalfa hay, and other
common food stuff worth IS to $25 per
ton, a high percentage of refuse and
non-nutritious matter, some of which
may be positively dangerous to the
health of his stock
Naturally the question is asked by
the farmer: How may detect any or
all Of these fakes when they are Of
fered to me? In the first place bear in
mind that the department of agricult-
ure and experiment stations are very
chary of giving endorsements which
may in any manner be used to the
commercial advantage of any person,
! firm or corporation. These depart
ments are conducted for the benefit
of the people as a whole and great
care is taken to prevent their author
/ ity or influence from being subverted
4 to the special advantage of any per-
son or individual enterprise. There
fore, when the seller of selected or
''pedigreed" seed grains, of a remedy
! for hog cholera or of balanced ra-
ton" for the quick fattening of cattle
claims that his wares have the en-
dorsement of a department of agri-
culture or a state station it is safe to
assume that he is a swindler At any
rate, there is only one safe rule to
follow: Do not buy until you have
written to the department or station
from which it is claimed that the
endorsement comes. You will get a
prompt answer-and l believe that
your inquiry will generally save you
from being swindled. In the matter
of buying choice seed grains l would
add this suggestion: Your safest
course is to buy only of those firms
that you know to have large tracts
of lands specially devoted to the sci
entific cultivation of grains for seed
ing-grains which have made a rec
ord for strong vitality and large de
pendable productiveness. There ar,
plenty of these great seed farms
which are scientifically and honestl.
, conducted by men of capability AM
established reputation. Still anothe
suggestion, which applies to all tn
cardinal interests of the farmer, is t
read the bulletins and reports of tn
agriculture departments and state sta
tons Systematically and carefully
This will do much to protect you fror
imposition on the part of swindler
!. who base their hopes of success o
the enlightened sentiment for progrei
sive farming awakened by the nation
al and state departments, for it wi
give you actual knowledge as to whs
is and what is not commended b
those authorities.
