is closed by simply pulling the handle
to the right with the right hand. To
make the clamp hold more securely
the lower end may be notched slightly
with wood rasp or pocket knife.
The dimensions shown in the cut
give about the right proportion to take
the bag properly. Holes are bored in
the back Of the Dagger, one on each
end, for hanging over spikes or nails
driven at any convenient place. as
for instance, the front of a bin from
which the grain is to be bagged.

GRAIN BAGGER
is CONVENIENT
BY n. n. MUSsELMAN, Instructor IL
Farm Mechanics.

A cut is presented herewith Of a
convenient bagger which may be cas-
lily constructed by one at all familiar
with the hammer and saw. The ad-
vantage of it's use will be appreciated
by the man who is obliged to fill bags
with grain and without assistance.
The Dagger is designed to be hung
up at any convenient place on the wall
or bin where screws, nails or spikes
may be driven. The Dagger may also
be moved from one place to another.
Another feature OF the bag-holding at
tachment is that It will not tear the
bags. In many schemes Of this kind
the bags are held by wire hooks, by
which the bags are very likely to be
torn, particularly II any considerable
weight comes upon them, as for in
stance when short bag Is used, or
when the bag happens to be hung
rather high. In attaching the bag to
the holder It is opened and caught
over the four points. The right hand
still holding the top of the bag is
brought over the knob from below,
hooking one thickness Of the bag over
the knob. The bag is then drawn taut

CHlLD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 N. 5th St., Terre Haute. Ind
MY little nephew, a boy Of four
years, had a breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning / made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face In the warm suds
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After l had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint.
ment on and in short time his little
face was all red and dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In
His Appreciation Of the coun-

There Is plenty OF food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital. as is
shown by the following incident which
happened on Washington street car:
A worldly young man. prone TO crit

the car. One advertised new kind
OF collar for men. The dome Of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one Of the collars. and on the other
ate and house wings Of the build
ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
Of the capitol read, Quarter size, "

Wheat as a Food for Horses.

Concerning wheat as a horse food
Shepperd of North Dakota writes: 1T
was with difficulty that they (the
horses) were kept from getting off
feed and otherwise deranged In di-
gestion, when fed this ration of pure
wheat. A large proportion of the
kernels were passed through the ali.
mentary tract unbroken, while other
grains were broken but only partly al
gested. The test demonstrated
clearly that It is not advisable to use
wheat alone as a grain ration for
horses, and the less expert the feed
er the greater the risk"

VALUE OF SANDY
SOILS EXPLAINED
BY j. A. JEFFERY, Professor Of Soils,
Michigan Agricultural College.

At the present time considerable
areas Of sandy soil are being offered
for sale in Michigan. These soils
range from the coarser dune sands to
the finer Miami fine sands. The great
er part of the soils offered for sale
are properly embraced under what is
known as Miami sands.
The dune sands possess little or no
agricultural value.
The Miami sands vary from soils
that possess much intrinsic agricultu-
raj value to soils that can never be
profitably productive under ordinary
methods Of management.
Intrinsic Value.
The value OF Miami sand will de-
pend chiefly upon four things:
/. Its origin-Whether made up
largely of material produced from the
breaking down Of granite rocks and
other rocks rich In plant food constit.
uents, or whether made up OF material
chiefly silicious-pure quartz.
2. Upon the fineness CT the mate
rial-The finer the material the great.
er is its water-holding capacity and
the greater. also, the amounts of plant
foods which It will give up for the use
Of the plant.
3. The subsoil-The finer the sub
soil the more valuable are these lands
for cropping purposes. II is net an
uncommon thing to fad areas of these
Miami sands 70 coarse in appearance
as to cause the observer to wonder
at the excellent crops which they pro-
duce. The secret is found usually In
an underlying subsoil of clay located
is to go inches below the surface and
having a depth Of a few toAseveral
feet. This subsoil OF clay is OF value
that: (a) II acts as a reservoir to
hold the water In the soil above, and
in itself, which otherwise would disap-
pear downward by gravity, and (b) In
that when close enough to the surface
the roots Of the growing crop above
find their way into the clay itself, and

ChlId's Fear of the Dari,.

II mothers notice that the brains OF
very susceptible organization and the
sights and thoughts from the shadows
of room more or less dark, let the
light burn brightly. To force child
to become accustomed to the darkness
is grave error, if its nervous system
is SO organized that this forcing Is
productive of fright.
The nervous system OF child is a
very susceptible organization ond the
deleterious impressions made upon 1t
will often make their influence felt
throughout its whole after life. If the
child asks for a light under such cir
cumstances do not refuse 1t.

Use for Cow Peas.

On the sandy soils of southern Mich.
igan the COW pea is being much used
as n green manuring crop. Peas are
sown at the rate OF pecks per acre,
about the first week in June. and tire
crop is plowed under from the FIRST
to the middle Of September When
wheat is sown after COW peas thus
plowed under, the yields OF wheat are
greatly increased; and when clover is
seeded with the wheat the following
spring, It seldom fails to make On ex'

ABOUT GROUNDING"
LIGHTNING RODS
BY A. r. Sawyer, Professor Of Eiec
trical Engineering.

An interesting experience In con-
nection with the protection OF build
fngs from lightning by means Of
lightning rods" has just come to no
tice.
In the southern part of the state q
barn was rodded and some time last
fall probably the rod was pulled In
two due TO the barn being struck.
The severed lightning rod was dis
covered this spring and repaired and
since being repaired the barn was
struck again and set on fire and four
pigs outside the barn but near the
rod were killed. The way in which
the barn was rodded Will throw some
light on the cause Of this.
In order to protect the copper cable
from mechanical injury an inch and
quarter iron pipe was slipped over
the rod and allowed to extend into the
earth six inches or a foot, the pipe
not being well grounded. The agent
who put the rod up stated that the
copper cable was burned In two about
six inches below the top OF the iron
pipe, supposedly by a stroke which oc-
CURED last fall, the severed condi-
ton not being found until this spring.
The short piece OF rod was taken out
and spliced. This piece which was
taken out tells the story which is OF
considerable interest. Upon eXamin-
ing the broken piece II was found that
the rod was not burned in two as
there Is no indication OF any burning
of wire. On the other band the part
that was in the upper six inches OF
the pipe was drawn up and expanded
which put a tremendous pull on the
lower part of the rod, and below the
break the copper cable was reduced
in diameter from seven-sixteenths to
three-eighths, OF an inch in diameter,
which shows the tremendous pull that
1t took to break the cable in two.
The question of why the rod was
pulled In two needs to be explained
In general, most lightning strokes
constitute an alternating current OF
high frequency and this current In
trying to go down the cable induced
in the iron pipe by transformer &C
ton. The two reacted on each other
just as often occurs at the time Of q
short circuit in connection with com
mercial circuits.
AS stated before, after this was re-
paired the barn was struck again
this spring and the discharge instead
of going down the cable inside of the
pipe jumped over to the iron track
from which door was hung and wen,
to earth another way, setting fire to
the building. At the same time the
discharge going down the cable at the
diagonally opposite corner met with
similar difficulty in going down
through the iron pipe surrounding the
cable and instead was detected and
killed four pigs standing near.
The lesson TO be learned from al
this is just what one would predict
who is acquainted with the action o.
alternating currents and just the mis-
take that is forbidden by the under
writers in wiring a house, that it 4:
not allowable to run a single con
ductor In an iron pipe.
If one drives an iron pipe down in
to permanently moist earth and uses
that for a ground this is usually ap
proved, but should not be approved
where the rod goes through an iror
pipe which Is not well grounded.
