Punishnne emf In Persia.

Among the perSanS the usual mode
of punishment is the bastinado, from
which men of the highest rank are not
exempt 1t is inflicted with very great
severity, frequently so as TO render the
sufferer almost a cripple for life. The
victim is thrown upon his face. and
each foot is passed through a loop of
strong cord attached to pole, which
is raised horizontally by men, who.
twisting it round. tighten the ropes
and render the feet immovable. Two
executioners then strike the sole alter
nately with switches of the pomegra-
nate tree well STEPPED in water to rem
der them supple. A store of these
switches is generally ready for use in
the pond which adjoins the courtyards
of the houses of the great. The pun
ishment frequently lasts for an hour
or until the unfortunate victim faintS
from pain.

Very Good Method Of
;. Seed Grain Selection.

!" i" X Il + !. !. :. !. !. !. !. :.
Practically every one is aware of
the advantages gained by sowing good
seed. We submit this article with a
view to encouraging farmers to take
new step in the selection of their
seed. grain. The common practice on
most farms is to market or feed a
large portion of the grain raised dur.
ing the fall and winter; and in many
instances, when seeding time comes
there is little more grain in the bins
than is necessary for seed. This makes
it impossible to make a careful selec
ton of seed grain.
The method we earnestly advise is
to select, from large portion of the
grain threshed, the largest and plump
est kernels to be used for seed; then
sell or feed the balance of the grain
In this way ore can get the very bes
seed out of all that he raised.
Grain is easily and cheaply sep
arated in this way by running il
through common side-shake tanning
mill. The wind blast will make sep
aration Of the grain by weight, as II
will blow the lighter kernels farther
than the heavy kernels. A screen cal

saved his emperor's life. 1t was after
the abdication Of Fontainebleau and
when Wernet drove Napoleon away
from the palace that he received from
a peasant information of plot to fire
on the coach as it passed through the
forest. The outrider. representing that
there was an obstruction on the road.
persuaded the emperor to leave the
coach and ride around in another d.
rection. while he brought the carriage
as best he could to meet him. This
was done. and Wernet encountered a
furious fusillade. which. however. left
him unscathed. as it was directed not
at the box. but at the interior of the
empty vehicle. Wernet lived to be out

POTATOES AS HOG FEED.
Experiments Show They Produce
Good Results.

Experiments Show They Produce
Good Results.
Potatoes make very good feed for
hogs, and if cheap enough are econom.
ical. Experiments show that four
and one-half pounds of potatoes are
about equal to one pound of corn.
Both being of a starchy nature, a
heterogeneous food should be fed to
make balanced ration. A good ra-
ton, as suggested by the Minnesota
Experiment Station, would be twenty
pounds of potatoes, eight pounds of
corn, and one and one-half pounds of
tankage. Grinding the corn and mix
ing it with tankage would be good
plan. This mixture could be fed in a
trough, and the raw potatoes on the
feeding-f or on the ground. If it
is convenient to cook the potatoes,
they might be mixed with the tankage
and corn. Cooked potatoes are prefer
able to raw ones; but sometimes the
cooking involves an expense that is
hardly warranted, when compared
with the results obtained. Feed no
more at time than is eaten clean and
quickly. Not over seven or eight
pounds should be fed per hundred
weight.

A House In tho Air.

In 1868 balloon of 100000 cubic
feet capacity was constructed at Paris.
1t was named the Giant and was
intended to show the great possibilities
of the air. The car attached consisted
of small two story house. fitted with
every modern comfort, lavatories. din.
ing room. bedroom, kitchen. par,or. etc.
Thirteen passengers made the first as
cent. but the journey was of only four
hours duration. The last ascent was
for seventeen hours and was abruptly
terminated by high: wind. which.
when the balloon descended, dragged
the little house humping over the
ground. The remains Of this giant Of
the air was. for a long time exhibited
in the Crystal palace in London.

be set in the lower part of the mill, at
such a distance from the rear end Of
the machine that the lighter kernels
will be blown over the end of it and
the heavier kernels on it. This screen
should be coarse enough so that the
small kernels will fall through. The
screen will then convey to the front
end of the mill only the large, heavy
kernels. If one takes but from 10 to
25 per cent of the largest, plumpest
kernels out of the grain he raised, he
can usually get most excellent quail
ity of seed.
Two men with tanning mill can
separate grain in this way at the rate
of from thirty to forty bushels per
hour. If they run through 800 BUSH
els Of grain in day and save out rs
per cent of it for seed, they will have
seventy-five bushels of very good and
clean seed grain. These seventy-five
bushels of grain would cost but two
days labor, or about 81 more than
seventy-fve bushels of grain of the
average run. This would mean an
additional cost for the seed grain of
between and cents per bushel, and
it would be the best seed raised, and
would be absolutely clean. We urge
that grain-growers give this matter
some consideration before disposing of
their grain.

ject, write for Experiment Station Bull

Time was when reputable mer-
chants lacked full candor in their
advertising. 1t was argued-by
people with ridiculous ideas of the
aims and purposes of advertising
that the people would only believe
a small part of what an advertiser
claimed, anyhow, hence it behooved
him to exaggerate accordingly, so
that after the readers deductions
for the exaggerations had been lib
orally made, basis of truth would
remain.
| AS this was always false argu-
ment, it has been exploded-to stay
exploded!
SeIf-respecting, thinking people
are the people who read ads nova
days. And to deliberately mis-
state fact in advertising now is
simply species of attempted bust
ness suicide.
A store which would thus forfeit
the confidence or respect of all hon.
est people would soon find out that
there were not enough dishonest
people-or of people who would
condone dishonest advertising-in
this town to support the smallest
store in it.
You may read the ads nowadays
with the satisfying knowledge that
advertisers realize that falsehood is
business suicide nfailingly!
Candid advertising is necessary
