POWER FROM BROOK DAM.
Expert Urges Farmers to Store Up
Water For Various Uses.
Nv EDWARD n TAYLOR

By EDWARD R. TAYLOR.
Mr.. Farmer, what are you doing
with the brook on your farm? Let
hurry (and sometimes in great hur-
ry) to get its waters into yonder
river? Why not curb it and make
good use Of it as it passes? John T.
Mcdonald Of Delhi, N. Y, some ten
years ago began making good use Of
his brook-lights his house and build
ings, runs saws and various machines
in little shop in winter and on rainy
days and has enough power in addi-
ton to heat his house if he fitted up
for it. Why don't you do likewise?
The dam is made from stones and earth
from the nearby fields, costs but little,
securing a pond Of about three acres
which abounds in beautiful trout and
other fish, and from the pond Mr.. Nc
Donald cuts 500 tons Of ice per year
for himself and neighbors.
1t is really the most valuable land
he has. Did you know if you have the
only pond on your stream all the lar
gest fish will make it their habitation,
and if you make a spillway in con-
nection with your dam large fish from
below will come up and settle in your
pond, and you and your boys and girls
will go fishing there for the profit as
well as for the fun of it? Make a
safe place and teach the children to
swim. Besides, it is stimulating and
grateful in summer weather.
I almost think you are really inter-
ested, and perhaps are thinking now
where you have the best site for the
dam. Begin the work by laying down
sewer pipe two or more feet in diam
eter and twenty, thirty or more feet
long, according to the size of embank-
ment you must build. This can be in
the bed of the stream, diverting the
water for the time by a little dam
above. On the upstream end of this
pipe build square box Of plank as
high as you wish the water to be in
the pond. 1t will take away lots of
water safely in floods. Near it's bot
tom on the upstream side fix a gate
of plank which you can open to
drain the pond in summer for repairs
If you put a grating made, say, of
old strips Of wagon tire in front OF
the gate it will keep back all the fish
that are too large to go through. This
all done in good shape, you can LEI
the water run through the pipe while
you are building your dam proper.

CURIOUS FARM FACTS.

Tulips will bloom better in the house
if they are left until after New Years
to make roots.
A sensation in potato growing has
been created in the neighborhood of
Ridgely, Nd, or at Richardson, a sub
urb, by the discovery that potatoes
grown in a barrel yield enormously.
A white duck owned by c. w. Whit
zler of Bridgeport, Conn, is normal in
all respects save that it has no breast
bone and over it's breast feathers have
never grown. The skin at this point
is thin and almost transparent, and
underneath this shallow protection one
can see plainly the fowls heart action.
Making bulbs blossom in the house
in winter is one of the easiest process
es in the world and adaptable even to
city apartments, which is saying the
last word about house plants. Hya-
cinths will bloom within a month in
Tye glass or bowl of pebbles. You
can buy the whole thing ready to fill
with water and set on your mantel-
piece for 80 cents.
On account of the starch they con-
tain potatoes are valuable as food
The potato tuber consists mainly of a
mass of cells filled with starch and en-
circled by thin, corky rind. The
chief value of the potato as an article
Of diet consists in the starch it con-
tains and to a less extent in the pot
ash and other salts. The quantity of
nitrogen in it's composition is small.
There was never a farm touched by
an interurban trolley line but that its
value was greatly increased. Farm
lands on interurban lines have adj
vanced to as high as $500 per acre. The
trolley converts a country home into
a suburban home. Thousands Of peo-
pie move into the country with their
! families, where they live the year
round, while their work is in the city.
If the young men who are brought
up on the farms do not want to stay
there it is up to them, but there are
100000 more farms in the country now
than there were ten years ago, and
there are 100000 of them now, with
100000 people making a fine liveli-
! hccG thereby. We cannot find it in our
! hearts to pity the poor farmer" He
is getting along all right. and if his
son is wise he will stay by him.
The Baldwin apple first grew as a
chance seeding on the farm of a John
Ball in eastern Massachusetts, and was
later brought into prominence by a
Colonel Baldwin. These facts are stat
ed on a handsome monument which
was few years ago erected on the
spot where this first Seeding tree
grew, and the millions of Baldwins
which have been grown since the
birth of this first tree in about 174O
are direct descendants of it.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY
Medicine by Making 1t at Home

Cough medicines. as a rule, are
mostly syrup. To make the best syr-
up, take a pint of granulated sugar,
add one-half pint warm water, and
stir about two minutes.
Get two and one-haIf ounces of
Pinex ESQ cents WORTH put it in a
clean pint bottle, and fill up with
the granulateo sugar syrup. This
makes full pint of unequaled
cough syrup, for about "a cents.
Keeps perfectly. You couldn't buy as
much ready-made cough syrup for
$3.50.
This home made remedy is pleas
ant to take, and usually stops even
the most obstinate cough in "a hours.
1t is splendid, also, for colds, whoop-
ing cough, bronchial ailments, etc.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two
or three hours.
The sugar syrup is an excellent
sedative The Pinex is the most val
liable concentrated compound of Nor
way white pine extract, rich in all
the healing elements of Norwegian
pine. Be sure to use the real Pinex
itself. Your druggist has it or can
easily get 1t for you.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup and makes very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.

All One Problem.

All Ohc
"The problem is all one problem.
One Christian abroad will not lessen
our strength here. The money which
is being contributed to foreign mis-
sions is the money which would other
wise be used for luxuries.
I'VE will put away the first idea and
take up the other objection. Now the
Presbyterian missionary is receiving
just $1,000 per annum. He cannot live
luxuriously on that amount. Do you
want him to live on short rations; to
live like a Chinese coolie and not like
an American? Throughout the day he
works in the schools and with his peo-
pie. His wife also teaches in the
schools. Do you want them to work
