THRESH GRAIN WHILE DAME
Practice Is Always Expensive and Free
quently Cause Of Serious Loss
Bricks Absorb Moisture.

1t Is serious mistage to thresh
grain wet or even damp, because the
proposition of making it remarketable
is always expensive and is frequently
the cause of serious loss. The farm
er who Is compelled, from any cause,
to thresh his grain when wet should
lose no time in taking immediate care
of it. Z
A few dry bricks thrown into the
grain as it is put into the bins will abb
sorb large quantities of moisture, says
a writer in the Farm and Home.
Sticks of very dry stove wood will an
swer the same purpose. A dry cedar
post or sticks of cordwood from pop
lar, Eastwood or jack pine trees will
absorb their weight in moisture from
bin of damp grain. Burlap or jute
sacks filled with dry char and buried
in bin of damp grain will absorb
moisture readily and also provide
space for air. have used them with
excellent success.
Those simple and inexpensive meth
ods of protecting wet grain are prac'
tical and are much more desirable
than shoveling it over day after day
to keep 1t from heating. Grain that
gets hot in the bin is worthless .foI
seed. Musty wheat is no good fol
-four and should not be sold or used
for that purpose.

WEIGHT OF LOAD FOR HORSE
Should Not Be Asked to Pull More
Than one-Tenth Of its WEIGHT
Cost Of Marketing.

(By PROF. r. M. DoLvB, North Dakota
Agricultural College)
Since horses use their weight in
pulling they should be loaded In pro-
portion to their weight, and observers
are agreed that for hauls over coun-
try roads a horse 10 properly loaded
when exerting a pull on the traces
equal to one-tenth of his weight. For
team of 1,600-pound horses this
would be exerting a pull of 800 pounds
and IL It requires a 140-pound pull
to haul a ton on an average level
country road they would haul about
21-3 tons. In order to haul this load
up per cent. grade they would
have to exert pull equal to one
fourth their weight, which is an ex-
haustive pull and should not be much
exceeded, especially IL the hill is long.
If the hill had 10 per cent. grade the
load would have to be reduced to
1890 pounds or nearly three tens less
in order to keep the pull up the
grade equal to one-fourth the weight
of the horses.
Statistics show that 1t costs over
20 cents per ton-mile to market farm
products, so that if the distance to
market was five miles it would cost
| 81 to market a ton when the road
is level or contains not more than a
per cent. grade.
Assuming that is would take as long
to haul the small load of 1,600 pounds
necessitated by the 10 per cent. grade
as it does to haul the larger load, the
cost of marketing ton would be in
creased to $2.25, or an increase OF
$125 because of the grade.

FAMOUS SWORDS or SPAIN
For Centuries Toledo Stood First In
the Making of That Equipment
of the Soldier.

The swords of Spain have always
ties might be quoted in testimony of
heir unsurpassed excellence, even as
long ago as the time of Cicero, who
makes honorable mention of the little
Spanish sword.
1t is probable that the manufacture
of swords continued at Toledo until
the epoch of the Gothic kings, and 1t
is certain that it was in full sway in
the ninth century. These swords
served beyond doubt as a pattern for
the weapons used by the Moors of
Spain in the middle ages, still to be
seen represented in the pictures at the
Alhambra.
The making of swords was not for
merly confined to one establishment.
The espaderos, or sword makers,
worked at their own homes alone or
with a certain number of apprentices.
Like all craftsmen, they were bound
together in guilds.
Many of the kings of CASTLE accord
cd to the finest sword makers of Tole-
do certain imposts and duties apper-
tanning to the sale of swords, the pur-
chase of iron and steel and other pri-
mary material.
The steel used by the espaderos of
Madrid was obtained in an iron mine
situated about three miles from Man
dragon in the Basque provinces.
According to Palomeus, a Toledan
swordmaker of the eighteenth century,
it is an error to suppose that the
Toledans preserved particular secrets
for the tempering of their arms. They
were compelled to use the water of
The Tagus, as well as the fine white
sand that the river contains in its bed.
This sand served for the operation of
what they termed refrescar la calda,
or cooling, for when the metal became
red and commenced to throw of
sparks the espaderos instantly
sprinkled it with sand.
The blade having become cherry
red, they plunged the point into a
wooden reservoir full of the water OF
the Tagus, and, having once cooled it
hey Strengthened it as much as was
desirable.
They then subjected each of the
blades as had not hitherto been ex
posed to the fire, and when it began to
redden they took it by the tongue
with red-hot pincers and plunged II
into sheep suet until 1t cooled, an op
Grafton that impaired temper to it.

surnamed Ell Moro, or the Moor, by
reason of mis- coming from Granada
where he worked until toward the end
of the fifteenth century for King
Poabdil.-Harper's Weekly.

Beautiful Hands,

A perfect hand, according to the
rule based upon the
Greek sculptured ideal figures, should
measure seven inches from wrist to
the end of the second finger, but by
the same criterion a hand which is
classic in its shape and is in true pro-
portion to the rest of the figure may
be also given the palm of perfection.
However, the painter or sculptor work
ing to produce an 'Ideal figure, with
a model whose hand was other than
seven inches, however true in pro-
portion and form, would probably so
scale the whole figure as to bring the
hand to the highest sought measure
ment of perfection. Arching of the
nails adds to the beauty of the hands,
and this arching should increase from
the index finger to the little finger,
and the nails should be narrow and
lengthwise straight.
