TRUE LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE
Shafts Of Father Time PoWeriess to
Affect Those Blessed With Mutu-
al Affection.

Ordinarily, we would cuss to the linn
It "peeper" or an eavesdropper. But
we have confession to make on the
first count, and we would plead miti-
eating circumstances. Here is the
story:
On drizzling, foggy night, our way
lay down a side street toward home.
Several rods ahead there was a shaft
of light and when we reached the spot
we found window with the shade
halfway up. Wickedly, but not mali
ciously. we hesitated, stopped-and we
peeped.
There sat an old man and his wife.
They must have been well up to the
allotted three-score Of years. He was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
we peeped. Then she looked up at him
and smiled and said something. He
laid down book. struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind
of hobbled out of the room, shortly
returning and carrying glass of wa
ter, which he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bony hand of her lover.
Then, as she finished drinking. she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look he gave her were like
shafts of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted us long
time. Somehow she seems beautiful In
our eyes. and yet we did not get q
closeup" of her features. And ne,
why as we keep thinking of him, we
bark back 70 the days when we once
visited fine old Southern gentleman
who possessed the graces of Chester
field and the courtesy Of a Don Juan.
Then we recall the words Of poet
which Ats the case precisely: let
Time reach out with his sickle as far
as ever he can although he can reach
ruddy cheeks and ripe lips and fash
ing eyes, ne cannot quite reach love-"
When q man really loves woman
she viii never grow old, and when
woman loves a man he is neither de-
crepit nor bowed nor treInulous. She
is the same lass he wooed and he Is
always the same gallant young fellow
who won her heart and her hand
They are absolutely equals, happy and
free. These two lovers are travelling
toward the City of Silence. but they
are leaving behind picture never to
be forgotten.-Fremont Herald

HawaI,ans pvIno OUT

According TO Prof. Vaughn Mac
Caughey of the College of Hawaii, the
Hawaiian race is rapidly becoming ex-
tinct. This disappearance of "one of
the finest physical types known in the
history of the human race" is due to
the introduction by white men of al
cohol, plague. measles, leprosy, tuber-
culosls, pneumonia and the most ter
rible of blood diseases, none of these
having been known In Hawaii before
the advent of the white man.

the sun and rain. When the yield of
hay is light, it is good plan to NOW
it in the morning, rake it in the after
noon and put it on the trucks in the
evening or next morning, after the dew
is of. When the yield is above ton
per acre, the hay should be moved in
the morning, tedded the next morning
and raked in the windrows before
noon, where 1t should be allowed to lie
for about two hours before put on the
trucks
The use of the hay truck effects a
considerable saving in labor over the
common method Of cooking and load
ing from the cock by hand. Indeed,
the hay truck method requires even
less labor than that of curing in the
cock and hauling to press, stack or
barn with the push rake.

Cut Metal With Smooth Disks.

Not SO very long ago the discovery
was made that metals could be sawed
easier and quicker with rapidly revolv-
ing smooth disks Of steel than with
toothed circular saws. 1t was found
that the cutting was done by the heat
generated by the friction Of the edge
Of the disk against the metal The
metal Is melted at the point of con-
tact while the steel of the disk, being
cooled by the air. does not reach the
melting point. The disks need no
sharpening and do not wear out so
quickly as the toothed saws heretofore
used for cutting metal. The faster the
disk revolves, the greater the amount
Of heat generated and the quicker the

PROTECTING HORSES
FROM STABLE FLIES
Source Of Keen Annoyance to
Animals in Hot Weather.
Most Logical Method of Abating Nui-
sance Is to Eliminate All Breeding
Places-coaI Tar Sprays
Are Recommended.

Prepared by the United States Depart
naent of Agriculture.)
Stable flies are a source of keen an
noyance to work animals during the
heat Of summer Every owner who has
the welfare of the dumb beasts at
heart should strive to alleviate as far
as possible the discomforts to which
the horses are exposed.
The most logical method of abating
the fly nuisance is to eliminate all
breeding places, such as manure piles.
Manure should be kept in fly-tight pits
or bins until such time as it can be
hauled to the fields. Pits should be

of cleaning and so constructed that it
can be readily removed. 1t is essen
tial that flies be prevented from reach.
Ing the manure, but, as some of them
will, even though great care is exer-
cised, it is advisable to place fly
trap on the pit.
The coal-tar sprays used in combat
ing the fly evil in the dairy stable are
also efficient in driving the winged
pests away from the horses. Among
the best of these is a solution of 100
parts of fish oil, 500 parts of oil of tar,
and part of crude carbolic acid 1t
may be prepared at home at cost Of
about 85 cents gallon. This spray,
as well as kerosene emulsion and 9TH
er fly repellants containing coal-tar
products, fish oil, resin, and oil of tar.
are best applied with an inexpensive
spray pump. 1t is preferable to give
the horses a hasty spraying early each
morning before they go to work. This
brings best results from the use Of the
fly eradicator.
For general comfort of the work
animals when they come from the field
at night it is recommended that after
the harness has been removed each
animal be given a sponge bath with q
solution Of cool salt water. In case
there are any work gals or shoulder
sores, these injuries should be treated
with white lotion, which is one Of the
most healing and soothing preparations
Of its kind for use In warm weather.

1t Is estimated that a truck and the
necessary canvas 20 feet By IA feet)
costs about $40.
How the Truck Is Made.
A hay truck II feet long by feet
wide win hold about 1900 to 1000
pounds Of cured hay. It consists Of
a rack which rests on an A-shaped
frame. At the rear. the frame is sup
ported by two 10 to 20 inch wheels
placed about feet from the end.
The front rs supported by 9 by 8-inch
wooden block of sufficient length to
hold the truck level This is known as
the trigger, and Is fastened by heavy
bolt between the two main frame tim
hers near where they come together.
Upright standards are placed at each
end Of the frame In an A-shaped posi-
ton. At the top of each standard
notch is cut to receive a 2 by inch
ridge pole that supports the canvas
covering and keeps 1t from lying nat
on the hay, thus permitting the air to
circulate freely at the top. The truck
is moved by means Of a 2-hOrse team
and Q 2-wheel running gear. similar to
the front running gears of a low-wheel-
ed wagon. This gear is attached
to the front end Of the truck by means
of a long cievis pin. and when the
team starts the forward movement
causes the trigger to trip and drag
on the ground, the weight of the load
being thus shifted to. the running
! gears. Upon reaching the barn or
baling machine the team Is backed o
step or two. which causes the trigger
to assume an upright position and
again support the front end OF the
load.

EFFECTIVE MEASURES FOR PREVENTING sss
EROSION OF MUCH VALUABLE FARM LAND

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Soil erosion, or the washing away
of earth by water, costs the farmers
of the United States $1,0O0,OO0 every
year. Soil losses from this cause oc-
cur in every state of the Union and
In almost every county of every state.
Nine years ago the National Conserve
ton congress reported that 100000
acres of farm land had been practi-
cally ruined by soil erosion. So seri-
Gus is the condition that DR.. N. s.
Shaler, formerly dean of the Law
renee Scientific school, was once
moved to remark that IF mankind
cannot devise and enforce ways of
dealing with the earth which will pre-
serve this source of life, we must look
forward to the time-remote 1t may

Ruins Fertile LaHu.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in a number of ways.
The upper and most fertile parts Of
the soil are washed away until the
land becomes barren and unproduc-
tive. Deep gullies are formed which
result In an actual loss of land for
cultivation, a lowering of the water
table and deficient supply Of mOis-
ture Drainage bitches are often filed
up with sand, which frequently re-
suits in the flooding Of the adjoining
bottom land and the destruction Of
crops. Rich bottom lands are often
covered with deposits of sand washed
from the hill lands. Hence the direct
losses of the upland. farmer are the
land occupied by gullfes, smaller crop
yields each year, and continued de-
crease In the value of the land. Some
of the losses of the bottom farmer are
the land coveredto q great depth with
sand, crops damaged by overfiOws or
deposits Of sand, continued decrease
In the value of the land, and the
money invested In the construction Of
drainage bitches that have been filled
or partly filed with sand. Thus it is
apparent that both the bottom and the

Hollow Concrete.

According to the Bruckenbau, the
production Of hollow concrete bodies
completely Enclosed. which has hither-
TO only been possible within certain
limits, is made easier by the new pat

Perhaps Snakes Couldn't Get There

Why are there no snakes In Ire
land? The answer is: Because
snakes had their cradle elsewhere and
couldn't cross the Irish sea. They
originated, apparently, in Asia and
spread easily over Europe, and got
across In considerable numbers into
Great Britain, by aid Of now sub
merged '1and bridge" but the Irish
sea was too deep for that kind Of
bridge, and so snakes and toads never
reached the Emerald isle, and few
