A Low WAGON.


A low wagon is a decided advantage
at times on the farm if the roads are
firm. With low wheeled rig a man
can go into a hay field or corn field
and load the rack with half the labor
involved with high wheels. OF course
small wheel will sink deeper into
the mud and drop into a furrow or
small depression that a large wheel
will bridge over.
The wagon illustrated is built out
of the ordinary farm wagon with full
size wheel: First, make an axle nine
and half feet long, with skeins that
will fit your wheels. Take two tim
bers eighteen feet long, relatively as
strong as 6x8 pine Ground timbers will
answer IL you have them on your
FARM, hang these under the axle near
the skeins with five-eighths round iron
clips with burrs underneath. Four or
six inch blocks may be put between
the axle and timbers, which will make
them still lower. Chamfer the front
ends and bolt together, forming trt-
angle.
Hang the front end under the front
axle by means of strong, short reach
bolted firmly to the timbers just behind
the circular part of front hounds. The
king-bolt goes through the reach and
serves TO draw the rear part, but the
weight Is supported by coupling in
front of the axle. This consists Of a
heavy eye bolt and large triangular
link, which is Topped over the projecting
end of the reach in front of axle. Gov
er the timber with a tight floor eight
feet wide, as far as possible, without
interfering with the turning Of the
front wheels against the timbers. Deck
over the front wheels, resting the deck
ing on false bolster. All the deck
ing is of sound inch boards, with a
strip nailed under the ends of boards
to protect them.
For hay, use stakes In rear, with 2x6
bolted cross-wise, and 2x4 fastened
from top of same to the deck to shield
the wheels. This part may be removed
when hauling commodities other than
hay. Three short posts may be set In
ground with inclined bars and the wag-
on driven or backed upon same to raise
1t from the ground, when the wagon
can be changed quickly and much more

Farm Products Exports.


Exports of farm products from the
United States have increased from an
average of $150,000,000 year in the
five-year period from 1851 to 1855 to
more than $1,00OO 100000 in 1908, &C
cording to the Department of Agricul-
ture The increase in exports has
been greater than the increase in pop
ulation. In 1876 the average value
per capita Of agricultural exports was
S5.S5; in 19O1-05 it was $1088. Elk
ports of packing house products have
increased from $10,000,000 in the
1876 period to $196,0O0,000 in 1908,
the principal items in this group be-
ing pork, beef and oleo oil. Since
1905 there has been decline in the
exports of beef, but the balance Of
trade favors foreign countries by near
ly $200,000,000 in the year ending
June 80, 1909, according to the ad-
vance sheets of the report of the New
York Chamber Of Commerce. The re-
port will show that imports into the
United States increased $18,085, 245
over 1908, while exports for 1909 fell
off $175,358.326.

Don't leap over duty if you would

Don't close your heart to heaven if
you want to dwell therein.
Don't fail to note that he who has
a favorite sin has a hard master.
Don't overlook the common virtues

Don't forget that if you would be

Don't do all your praying on your

Don't hunt for martyrs crown I'M

Don't overlook the fact that charac

Don't look at yourself and expect
thereby to help the man who is look

Don't forget that he who sells out
his friends lays his own soul on the
bargain counter
Don't lead the weak to wrongdoing
by making a mockery Of the punish

Don't forget that the saints will
never convert sinners outside as long
as they cover up sinners inside.

the more SO when the object of its
affection is the Lord Jesus Christ, the

SERMONETTES.

We miss most of our blessings by
refusing burdens.
You never lead men into truth by
using it as a whip.
The lights of the world never tell
you to watch their smoke.
Your light goes down as the tenn
perature rises in your neck.
The deeper loves roots the less 1t
runs to flowers of rhetoric.
Some churches seem to mistake
the dinner bell for the meal.
Life soon denies all pleasure to
those who deny themselves none.
The man who likes people can be
led to like any really good thing.
1t takes a lot of love to hold our
children from the snare of luxury.
To many sermons deal out sugar
when the world needs moral sand.
When a man dries up like a mum
my he usually thinks he is saint.
The easier the phrases come to the
preacher the emptier they are to the
pew.
When the preachers imagination
runs away with him it never starts
uphill.
1t is better to be born fool than
tc attain to this height by an expen-
sive education.
Some good men fear the world will
forget they are shining If their lamps
do not smoke.
Some choirs have the artistic te1n-
permanent SO badly they will sing a
lullaby just before the sermon.
Many a preacher fails because while
he guards the seed of truth sedulous-
~ he knows nothing of the soil in
which he plants it.

a suhutftute for Cotton.

Ingenious Germans have experiment"
ed successfully with the fiber of the
kapok or silk cotton tree of tropical
Africa and Asia, and believe they have
a useful substitute for cotton. If that
is the case they will have furnished
additional proof that no substance
however valuable, is actually indis-
pensabie to man. Cotton long seemed
to be almost so, and there are few
things without which we should get
on so badly, il there were nothing else
to which to turn.

lowing results: One sixty acres Of
corn yield was 1913 bushels per acre,
which cost $2039 to produce, and was
valued at $49.47. This showed a clear
profit of $29.0S per acre On clover
hay he raised 81 tons per acre on f1f-
teen acres. This cost 1888 and pro-
duced $25.26, or profit of 1888 per

aged 1929 bushels at a cost of $12.90
per acre, and with yield Of $16.52
per acre showed profit of $3.50. On
oats he had yield of 20.7 on eight
acres. The cost was $1213, the pro-
ceeds $12.56 and the profits 43 cents
per acre. With ga acres of potatoes his
yield averaged 1873 bushels, which cost
$57.67 and yielded $84.89, with profit
of $27.22 per acre. In his locality this

pay, but that corn Is the most profit
able, with potatoes second and oats
with almost no profit.

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS
THE GREEN HILL FAR AWAY.
By Mrs. Cecil f. Alexander,
~~~~~N~>~~~

This gifted woman wrote many beauti
full hymns She intended them for TIL
use of little children, but some of then
have become popular with adults. Mrs
Alexander was born in County Wicklow
Ireland, in 1918; she married DR.. William
y, 1896, at Londonderry. Besides he
hymns she wrote a number of poems, tn
best known of them all being "The Buria
of Moses."1
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save, us all.
We may not know, we cannot tell
What pains he had to bear;
We believe it was for as
He hung and suffered there.
He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by his precious blood.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price Of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
OF heaven, and let US in.
O, dearly, dearly has he loved,
And we must love him, too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.
For there's a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.

Notes of the Farm Dairy.


The best favored butter in the world
is made in private dairies-and the
worst, too.
The silo enables the farmer to carry
more head of stock than he otherwise
could be able to do.
To produce their full milk-giving
capacity, cows should be kept as free
from disturbance as possible.
Care and feeding the first two years
with the calves and heifers is where
many men succeed in raising stock.
No one man can develop COW into
high producer unless that cow had an
inherited quality of development to
start with.
Some don't seem to realize the i'm
nortance of manipulating the udder
with the hand at the same time they
are milking.
Success in dairying demands that
man breed and develop his own cows
as far as possible, and buy, If he must,
wisely.

Dairying In Holland Is the princt-

people pay their rents or interest ON

and cheese, which they place on the

Preventing Mice Damage to Trees.
Mice are attracted to an orchard in
winter by a covering Of dead vegeta-
ton on the ground. If the vegetation
can be plowed under in the fall 1t will
destroy their nesting and hiding
places. Some farmers burn the dead
grass and weeds in their orchards In
the fall, but this is not good practice,
as there is danger of killing the trees
by fire and the dead vegetation is
needed for mulch and to apply hui
mus.
Wrapping the base of the trees with
tarred paper, to the height of one to
two feet will prevent mice and rab~
bits from gnawing them in winter.
Fine wire netting wrapped around the
base Of the young trees will answer
the same purpose.

Chat in the vicksburg Trenches.

During the siege there had been a
good deal of friendly sparring between
the soldiers of the two armies on pick
ct and where the lines were close to-
gether. All rebels were known as
"Johnnies," all Union troops as
"Yanks." Often Johnny" would call,
We'll, Yank, when are you coming into
town." The reply was sometimes,
1--WE propose to celebrate the Fourth of
July there" Sometimes it would be,
1--WE always treat our prisoners with
kindness and do not want to hurt
them" or, I'VE are holding you as
prisoners of war while you are feeding
yourselves etc. The garrison, from
the commanding General down, un-
doubtedly expected an assault on the
Fourth. They knew from the temper
Of their men that it would be success
full when made, and that it would be
greater humiliation than to surrender.
Besides, it would be attended with Sc
we're loss to them. The Vicksburg pa

would take dinner in Vicksburg that
day, that the best recipe for cooking

following as to the origin of some OF

song, My Maryland was set af1oat

music was proposed. At once we struck
up Randall's verses to the tune of the
old college song, 'Lauriger Horatius'-
young lady Of the party from Mary
land, cousin of ours, having recently
set them to this music before leaving
home to share the fortunes of the Con-

of applause came from some soldiers
listening in the darkness behind a belt
of trees. Next day the melody was
hummed far and near through the
camps, and in due time it had gained
