Corn Is a good element in the ra-

nothing better, but it must be bal

There is not time In the life OF hog

MECHANISM CT HUMAN HEART
Average RapIdIty of Cardiac Pu'sa'
tIon Of Adult Male ls About
70 Beats Per Minute.

In the human subject the average
rapidity OF the cardiac pulsation U
an adult male is about 20 beats per
minute. These beats are more Ire.
Quent as a rule in young children anu
In women, and there are variations
within certain limits, in particular
persons owing to peculiarities OF or
ganization. 1t would not necessarily
be an abnormal sign to find in some
particular individuals the habitual ire
Quency OF the hearts action from oV
to Go or from 70 individuals the
habitual frequency of the heart 8
action is slower and more powerful
In fully developed and muscular or
ganizations and more rapid ana
feebler In those of slighter form.
In animals the range is from 25 to
70 In the cold blooded and SO upward
In the warm blooded, except in the
case Of horse. which has a very
slow heart beat, only 40 strokes a
minute. The pulsations of men and
all animals differ with the sea Level
also. The work of a healthy human
heart has been shown to be equal to
the feat OF raising five tons four hun
dredweight one foot per hour. or 125
tons in "a hours.
A curious calculation has been made
by DR.. Richardson, giving the work OF
the heart in mileage. Presenting that
the blood was thrown out Of the heart
at each pulsation in the proportion OF
90 strokes per minute and at the as
sumed force Of nine feet, the mileage
OF the blood through the body might
be taken as 207 yards per minute
seven miles per hour, 1853 miles pei
day. 1890 miles per year, or $780,.
8S6 miles in a lifetime, "a years. The
number of beats of the heart In the
same long life would reach the grand
total of 2.869, 776, 900.

Garden Marker for One Horse.

Because a large portion Of the work
must be done when other work is
pressing, gardening is too often left
as a slack time job. Doing the right
thing at the right time in the garden
counts for more than 1t does any
where else on the farm, since garden
crops will not stand much neglect.
Two garden tools that will be found
very serviceable, and saving Of hand
labor, are planker and marker, says
the Farmers Mail and Breeze. Both
are homemade affairs, the drawings
herewith showing the plan Of con-
structing them. Use the planker on
plowed or narrowed ground, just as
