The passing of the windmill in Eng
Land, antiquated by such recent power
producers as the gas engine and cleo
tric motor, has given life to a new in
duStry-Windmill wrecking. The old
windmill builders understood their
business and meant their handiwork
to last, and so the demolishing of such
structures is no simple task. MANY of
the Old mills stood 100 feet high and
had eight or nine floors, fitted with
four run of stones, and contained tons
upon tons of brick. Often these huge
mills stand close to other buildings.
and, says Popular Mechanics. accidents
would be inevitable if the wreckers did
not have experience in their tasks.
Timely Hints on Farm Work,
Z low-wheeled wagon saves many a
baCkdche.
y well-oiled, sharp saw saves time
and temper.
The sign of the silo marks a pro-
gressive farmer every time.
Too much water and wet, mushy
foods will not lay on fat. 1t takes
the concentrated stuff to do that.
Paint costs pretty high these DAYS.
but it will pay in the long run in saw
ing the buildtngs-provided it r. good
paint.
The man who cannot kick the hired
man harder than the hired man kicks
the COW doesn't deserve the name of
farmer.
Make up our mind that you will not
get mac and misuse the calf you are
trying to teach to drink, no matter
what the little fellow may do. Be pa
tent. You will think more of the calf.
and surely of yourself.
Do not make the mistake Of filling
the silo with corn that is green. 1t
Sours quickly and has little feeding
value. Wait TIL it is ripe.
Be liberal with the use Of kerosene
about the place. A good way to use it
is with a spray pump. Send it into
every crack and crevice on the house.
1t is all right to fix up the old har-
ness. rather than to spend money for a
srew orc. providing YOU can make Il
good and safe. But don't run aG.y r;sks.

to work with an old, tender Ssrness.

Protein for Pigs.

Alfalfa is IL heterogeneous roughagc.
Pigs have only one stomach, and this
IL comparatively small me-, therefore
they are not us we'll adapted to eating
as arc ~ruminants; consequently it goes
Without saying that it is more than
likely thai the young growing pig will
not obtain enough protein for maxi
mum growth from a ration made up Of
alfalfa ~ corn. Nevertheless alfalfa
is one Of the best sources of protein
for pigs that can be had and should
he used to the greatest extent. When
alfalfa is fed in the form of hay it
may be given to the pigs in racks. If
they arc accustomed to eating alfalfa
i'll his form they will eat a consid-
cradle quantity of it, but more will be
eaten if it is chopped fine and then
steamed or Scaldcd and mixed with
finely ground corn into a thick slop.-

One Of the greatest mistakes a farmer
or amy one else in business makes is in
trying to secure Il luxurious living and
= lot of fun out of a very small bust
hess. Aside from the fostering of un-
necessary habits, expenses are incurred
which are sufficient 10 meet the de-
niands of Il much larger business. Cut
your garment according to your cloth.
Ihe farmer who takes pride in his
business has the same encouragement
and advantage over competitors, who
lock the snap and sentiment, that the
earnest, progressive man in all other
cnIlings has. The man who succeeds
in farming as we'll as those in the minor
professions, must throw his very life
Into the work in which he is engaged.
This applies to farming with great
force if excellence is expected.-Dakota

Wide Tires Needed.

Every farmer needs one or two low.
wheeled, widc-tired wagons on the
farm. They are the most convenient
for every kind of work in which n
wagon is used. especially for hauling
manure. filling the silo, hauling grain,
corn fodder, etc. a wide-tired wagon
hauls easily and does not cut up the
land, and also saves much back-aching
labor in loading and unloading ma
nure, seed grains, wood, hay, straw,
etc. If one already has high-wheeled
wagons outright, there are many firms
manufacturing Wide-tired wheels that
viii ut any wagon. They cost but a
few dollars, AMI are one of the best in
YrStmcnts any farmer can make.-Wis-
cOnsin Agriculturist.

upper end of No. Is; and when the
stacker is halfway down the weight
box, No. II, should be just clear of the
ground.
40. II is the weight-box, and should
be made of pinch stuff, about s to 10
inches deep, and about . feet square ;
it must be well spiked together. The
idea Of the weight is to start the
stacker back to the ground as soon as
the load is delivered from it on to the
stack. and when the stacker is halfway
to the ground, the weight acts as a
brake for the other half of the way
down. The box is filed with stones.
The rope which attaches the weight
box to thC stacker should be three
quarter inch. passing from the weight
up between the two pullCys on the up
center of stacker head No. ). The pull
ieyS on the frame of the stacker should
he n tached by means of wooden blocks
with a notch cut out SO that the pulley
can fit between the block and frame.
Pulleys for this purpose are g inches
III diameter and made of turned hard
wood. These are fastened in place by
means of a hard wood pin for an axle,
The pulleys should be kept we'll oiled

The rope for raising the stacker
should be either inch or inch and a
quarter. The teeth on the stacker
can be maze Of = by finch pine scant-
ling, 10 feet long and bevelled on the
upper side to allow the lay to slide
on easily. The short upright teeth on
the stacker head should be about ;

Instrumental Music.

That a word may convey vastly diff
ferent meanings when differently used
is amusingly illustrated by a story
from the Brooklyn Life.
Have We heard me daughter Mona
sing lately?' asked Mr.. Dugan.
Both lately and early said Mr..
Hogan. "'Tis the fine Instrumental
music she do make"
Y ignoramus. Sure, singing amt

The late weeds in the garden-those
that come in August and September
are the ones that produce seed before
the fact is noticed. and thus stock the
ground with weeds next year. The gar
den is often neglected late in the sum
mer. but it should be kept clear of
weeds until the frost. and the result
will he a great saving of labor in the
growing of small fruits and vegetables,

An old mountain preacher used to
ia tell Of a lawyer q friend of his, who
lived at the county seat of a mountain
county. Back in the hills somewhere
lived n of his clients, whom hi had
occasionally entertained with the ready
hospitality of Kentucky. When he left,
h client always invited the lawyer to
come to see him when in his neigh
n borhood.
Business called the lawyer back into
the hills one winter day, n late In
the afternoon he found himself in the
vicinity of his client. He decided to
accept the often-repeated invitation.
After inquiry, he found the shack
one Of the poorest he had ever seen. As
there was no sign of barn or shed, he
blanketed his horse and hitched him
in the lee OF the house.
His warm welcome was genuine, but
supper was in accord with the sur
roundings, and at bedtime he was con-
Quoted to the loft. which he found
bare Of beds, but well filled with part
ly dried cornstalks. He was hidden to
make his bed on the fodder.
His overcoat furnished inadequate
protection. After a short nap, he wax
ened, stiff with cold. He remembered
the big fireplace with the backlog, and
decided to go downstairs and start the
fire.
The Goals Frightened as he stirred
them and added kindling. The sparks
and smoke began their ascent, when
the guest noticed 4 strange commotion
at the back of the fireplace. This
stopped when the oldest son of the fam
lily, covered with SCOT and ashes,
scrambled from the backlog, where he
had gone to sleep for the night.

Annual Carnage in the Name o
Patriotism Is Very Large,

Once more the annual barbaric sac
rihcial orgie Of death and mutilation.
which masquerades under the guise Of
patriotic celebration of the nations
independence day, has passed, and the
fearful cost has been counted in part.
In many homes there Is mourning for
children who have met untimely ends
nnd adults whose lives paid the pen
atty of wanton folly, while in dark
ened chambers and hospitals through
out the country lie thousands of MAIN
ed and suffering victims.
Results of the frenzied emtnvis by
which the Fourth Of July is "cele-
brated' in the United States are given
In the Chicago Tribune's tenth annual
summary of the number Of persons
killed and manned. Up to , o'clock
on the morning OF the 9TH reports
from all parts of the country showed
that forty-eight persons had peer kill

THiRTY-P0uND musklE HERR
Giant of the Lakes on View in the
M, e X, Window.

One of the first big fish stories of the
season came to town today and in a
form that cannot well be controverted.
Louis kohn vouches for it and Eli Mo
senfelder is ready to make affidavit to
it, but If any doubt remains he may
view the. proof in the window of the
M. & X. clothing store. The proof is
a S0-pound muskellunge tactual weight
caught in Grindstone lake, at Hayward,
Wis. Unfortunately, neither of the
aforesaid gentlemen landed it. though
either is capable of doing so. The great
fish testifies to the prowess of F. Lee
valid of Chicago, brother-in-law of Mr..
Kohn, who is one of several gentlemen
owning tract OF land at Hayward.
Mr.. Lewald is recognized as an artist
with the rod.
