THIRTY-TWO.
Cheap Protection from Lightning.

As from 700 to 800 people are killed,
twice as many injured, and an immense
amount of property destroyed by light
ming every year, Professor Henry, of the
Weather Bureau, thinks more attention
should be given to protection from light
ming. The professor has recently pre-
pared paper on this subject, and it has
been published as Farmers Bulletin No.
367 of the United States Department of
Agriculture. In explaining what light
ming is and how to prevent buildings
from being struck, he gives an instruc
tive elementary discussion of electricity,
conductors and conductors, positive
and negative electrifcation, and elec-
tricity in thunder storms.
1t is the practical part of this paper,
however, which will appeal most strong
ly to the farmers of the country. Pro
fessor Henry shows how lightning rods
that are ''inexpensive yet effective" may
be put up by anybody. The following
is his list of the necessary materials:
Enough galvanized iron telegraph wire
to serve for the rod, pound of galvan
lied iron staples to hold the wire in
place, a few connecting trees, and a
pound of aluminium paint. He says:
"While iron is not so good a conductor as
copper, it is less likely to cause danger
GUS side fashes and it also dissipates
the energy of the lightning flash more
effectively than does the copper"
The methods of putting up the rods is
explained and illustrated. This bulletin
is for free distribution

Corn in Texas

Early this year there was held a
Texas Corn Exhibit at Sherman, at
which all parts of the state were repre-
sented, and Prof. Saunders of the United
States Department of Agriculture, acted
as judge of the show
"In the finer points of corn production,
Prof. Saunders stated that the ears, gen
orally, lacked the finish which comes
from long and careful breeding, but that
this did not come from soil or climate,
but was owing to lack of sufficient study
on the part of the corn growers. The
white corn was better selected than the
yellow. This show recorded more ex-
hibits than any other show in the South
west in the past, showed a superior
quality of corn, denoted a great enthu-
siasm in the growing of Texas corn for
1909, and was a practical school of in
struction for all who attended"
Which leads us to ask if a special
Florida Corn Show could be planned for
the next State Fair?

"A National Highway Association

The organization of National High
way Association having in view legisla-
tive action by Congress and by States to-
ward the construction of highway from
Maine to Florida, from New York by
way of the Middle West to Seattle and
thence down the coast to Los Angeles,
is worthy of consideration and ample
support But why stop at Los Angeles
Why not cross the Arizona country into
Texas and through the Gulf States to

If your neighbOr seems to get along

A tired horse just in from the hard
work of the field is in no condition to

and let stand for while before feeding.
In this way the digestive organs will be
ready to begin their work with vigor,

A good cultivation during the dry spell
is as good as rain storm, for it puts a
mulch upon the top which keeps the
moisture in the soil from evaporating
and makes it more available for the
plants.

TRY THE MONEY CURE FOR
INDIGESTION.

Nine times in ten stomach derange-
mcnts are responsible for sallow com
piexion, dull eyes and thin body.
1t is the stomach that supplies
rourishing blood to the muscles, the
nerves, and skin. If the stomach is
healthy, plenty of nutritious matter
will be absorbed by the blood. If it
is not healthy, the food will ferment
and undigested, will pass along
through the bowels, furnishing SO
little nutritious matter that the blood
becomes Impoverished, and the glow
of health vanishes.
If you suffer from nervousness,
sick headache, belching of gas, sour
taste in the mouth. heavness after
