THE HAY LOADER. • j
One of the Greatest Labor Saving ;
Machines of the Farm.
The picture shows one way in which j
applied horsepower may save hand la- !
lx»r. A Rural New Yorker correspond- |
ent in Illinois tells the story as fol
lows :
In thi-i part of Illinois It is very diffi
cult to get competent lielp to harvest '
the crops, and I consider the hay load- '
cr one of the greatest labor saving >
machines we have on the farm. One ;
man and a boy or girl who can drive a
team can load more hay than three j
men can in the old way. It takes the
hay up cleaner than any rake I ever
saw. In 1003 I had seven loads of
HAT LOADER SAVES ONE MAX.
heavy clover down, and a severe rain
storm came up in the night. The next
morning I started in and went over
the field with a hay tedder three times,
and the hay was ready to draw in. If
it had been raked or bunched it would
have been spoiled. The loader saves
all the heavy lifting, all the raking
after and does not break so many
leaves off clover. I have never used
but one team on it, and It is a very
durable machine, not getting out of re
pair easily, but of course it ought to
be under shelter when not in use. It
will pay for itself within two seasons
on the average farm.
HELPFUL HOGS.
An Invaluable trressory to the I'p to
Date Dairy.
By DAVID G. PAGE, before the Kansas
Dairy association.
Ail over ihls great state many farm
ers are milking large numbers of cows
who ought to cut down their herds
and add a number of hog 3 to their
stock. Many hog breeders ought to
sell off some of their slock and buy
some good milk cows that will be able
to give the full pail every day. The
cream should be sold after separation,
but the skim milk should never ieave
th» farm. It is only by a perfect bal
ance of hogs and cows that dairying
in Kansas will yield its largest returns
and that hog breeding will bring the
greatest amount of cash. Eastern
methods of intensive farming are being
rapidly but surely transplanted to the
fertile prairies of the west, and farm
ers are beginning more and more to
realize tho returns from dairy cows.
Three HORH to One Cow.
With good cows farmers should be
able to keep at least three hogs per
cow, but tills number may be increased
if alfalfa is available to carrying the
pigs over timc3 when lactation is de
creased. Farmers are raising less corn
and wheat and more alfalfa and dairy
cows, but the time is at hand when
the good dairyman must understand
hog rearing and combine it with the
dairying.
Feed Skim Milk, Sweet or Sour.
The advantage of feeding the milk
on the farm is the very great saving
of haulage to and from the skimming
station, and where the whole milk is
sold there is the elimination of middle
men's profits. As to feeding the milk
sweet or sour or feeding buttermilk
from the creamery, one has to be gov
erned purely by local conditions. At
any rate, the thing to do is to get milk,
either sweet skim milk, sour skim milk
or buttermilk. They will all make sat
isfactory returns if fed to hogs.
Early Cultivation.
The most successful corn growers
realize tlie Importance of thorough,
early cultivation, thus preventing any
check In the growth of plants because
of weeds or crusted soli. The farmer
should see that from the time of ger
mination to the maturing of the corn
the plants are not subjected to any
unfavorable conditions, but are given
an opportunity to make a steady, vig
orous growth. If their development Is
checked from any cause they will
never fully recover, no matter how
favorable the after treatment. As a
consequence of heavy rainfall the stalks
may Increase rapidly in height and at
the same time, for lack of cultivation
or of soil fertility or for other reasons,
they may be slender or of poor color.
Thrifty corn plants are thick, strong
and of dark green color.—C. P. Hart
ley.
French Forentry.
In France our forests have, aa every
Inhabitant of our country knows, a
code of laws. It was first used In
1827, and it embodies the regulations
which were enacted by the famous or
dinance of 1860. That ordinance
reaches far back Into the centuries, for
It recognizes jjrescrlptlons which had
been enacted by Charles the Wise In
the fourteenth century. In order to
keep our forests and to supervise them
they have an army of their own, an
army of rangers, foresters and keep
ers, an army of 0,000 men, who are
subject to military discipline, so that
in time of war all tills army is avail
able to the minister of war, but in
ordinary times It Is under the control
of theTnirUster of agriculture for serv
ice In connection with the forests.—

CRAB GRASS.
Expert Advice on FlßhtlnK n Pecnl-
Inrly Stubborn Pe#(.
Assistant Agrostologist Carlton P.
Ball of the United Stales department
of agriculture replies in Country <Jen
tleuian to an inquiry from an Albany
county suburban resident: Crab grass
Is an annual, living from season to
season by means of the seed which It
ripens and drops to the ground among
the grass roots. These seeds no not
germinate until the weather and soil
have become very warm. When the
Infested area Is small anu it Is at all
possible to do so, the largest possible
number of these seedlings should be
pulled up while tney are small. Where
it Is not possible to exterminate tliem
by tliis method they may be kept down
to a large extent by a Judicious use of
the lawn mower. One way in which
this can be done Is by mowing fre
quently and regularly, as one does in
the ordinary practice of lawn manage
ment, thus keeping the flowering heads
cut off as fast as they appear. This
method, however, drives the plant to
the production of small seed heads
close to the ground, usually on short
horizontal branches, which cling closely
to the ground by rooting at the joints,
as previously mentioned. These heads
are too low to be cut by the mower
blades It Is possible, however, when
this stage In the process is reached to
raise them to an erect position by
means of an iron rake skillfully manip
ulated.
finking A lien<l of the Mower.
If the workman holds the rake so
that the teeth just dip into the surface
of the sward, not approaching to the
ground at all, and draws It toward
him with a quick. Jerking motion, he
can draw up these prostrate branches
without uprooting the entire swaru,
which would be disastrous, of course,
a~ single "workman to coffer from one
fourth to one-half acre In a day in tbU
yray, and by following him with a lawn
mower run perfectly at right angles to
the direction In which the rake has
been used nearly all of these stems will
be cut at a single sweep of the mower
It may be necessary wbero the grass is ,
badly to rake and mow In two !
directions.
LIME IN SPRAY MIXTURES.
Variation la Compoiltlon-\ Pound
Sot n Definite Unit.
By L. A. VOORHEES. New Jersey.
Lime Is now quite widely used in j
the preparation of the various remedies ,
for fungus diseases and insect attacks.
In making bordeaux mixture for plant I
diseases and many of the washes rec
ommended for the Pan Jose scale, for j
example, lime is used in varying quan
tities. The object of the use of the
lime in the case of the bordeaux is to
eonvert the sulphate of copper into a
hydrate of copper, while at the same
time rendering the mixture neutral or
alkaline and improving its adhesive
properties. In the case of the washes
lime Is added to serve ns a base for
the sulphur compounds formed as well
as to improve the sticking qualities
of the mixture.
Lime a Variable Produet.
Owing to tho wide variation in the
composition of limes, both in reference
to the actual lime contained in them
and to their form—that is, whether an
oxide, a hydrate or a carbonate —it is
obvious that one pound of lime is not
a delinite unit; hence In the formulas
used for these mixtures the amount
of lime recommended is usually iu ex
cess of that which would be required
to accomplish the purpose If the term
"lime" had reference to a standard
rather than a variable produet.
The Liirnni Paper Test.
It is because of variability of com
position and in order to insure neutral
ity and thus avoid injury to the foliage
or fruit, by the use of an acid mix
ture or even from an excess of lime,
that the recommendations include the
test for neutrality with red litmus
paper. This paper turns blue as soon
as sufficient lime has been added to
make* the mixture alkaline. This test
is sure and should always be used be
fore applying the mixtures, especially
in those liable to contain an acid.
Soluble nn«l Insoluble Hnuioi.
Soluble humus compounds are the
products formed from the decay of the
Insoluble humus. The soluble humus
products are chemically combined with
some mineral matter. The amount of
water soluble humus in soils at any one
time Is small: that lost by leaching and
In drainage water is replaced through
decay of the Insoluble humus, which
gradually decreases In amount unless
fresh supplies of humus forming mate
rials are added to the soil.
GARDEN HINTS
Sow wax beans for a succession.
Weeds are grass feeders and rob the
garden plants of food and moisture.
Cucumbers may still be planted early
in the month of June. *
Stop asparagus cutting, let the shoots
grow and keep the ground stirred.
Transplant beets iu rows one or two
feet apart and six inches in the row.
Cut off most of the top, water thor
oughly, and they will soon start to
grow.
Lettuce seed docs not germinate very
well in hot weather. Therefore in sow
ing for a succession select n cool, moist,
somewhat shaded spot.
Be on the lookout for bugs on the
squashes and keep the ground well
stirred.
For early tomatoes train the plants
to a trellis and pinch off the side
shoots.
Coleus and other tender plants set
out as late as the first of June will
go ahead and excel those that were
planted several weeks earlier.
A Description b» Drron and a Cora

All heaven and earth are still, though not
In sleep.
But breathless,
until
From peak to peak, the rattling crags
among,
Leaps the live thunder! Not from one
lone cloud.
But every mountain now hath found a
tongue.
And Jura answers, through her misty
shroud,
Back to tho Joyous Alps, who call to her
aloud!
The description is too long to quote,
and, indeed, too well known, but Sir
Walter Scott's criticism on It may not
be so well known. He says:
"This is one of the most beautiful
passages of the poem. The 'fierce and
far delight' of a thunderstorm Is here
described In verse almost as vivid as
Its lightnings. The live thunder 'leap
ing among the rattling crags,' the voice
of mountains, as if shouting to each
other, the plashing of the big rain, the
gleaming of the wide lake, lighted like
a phosphoric sea, present a picture of
sublime terror, yet of enjoyment, often
attempted, but never so well, certainly
never better, brought out in poetry."—
Notes nnd Queries.
A HOT CHALLENGE.
Colonel Prank Wolford and His First
Kentucky Cavalry.
In the essays by Eugene Newman on
public men and events a good story is
told of Frank Wolford, wbo command
ed the First Kentucky cavalry of the
Union army nnd who later was a rep
resentative In congress from that state.
It was said that the colonel of the
First Kentucky had some novel com
mands that he "firetl" at the boys, such
as "Huddle up, tiiar!" "Scatter out,
tliar!" and "Form a line of tight!" It is
related that when some West Foint
officers were sent out to Investigate
and report on the efficiency of certain
volunteer regiments Wolford's cavalry
fell under their scrutiny, and they crit
icized It very severely. Wolford heard
them patiently and then said:
| "Pee them two riglments over thar?
One Is a Mlchigander and the other an
Ohler squad. You have Just passed
them as all right. Now, I know nothing
about your drills, your evolutions and
your maneuvers. My boys know how
to ride, how to shoot, how to fight and
how to stand fire, and you take them
two rlglments over thar I showed you.
Station them whar you please—on any
ground, In town or country, In field or
In forest—and I will take my rlglment,
and what we don't kill or cripple of
them me and my boys will chase out of
the state of Tennessee before the sun
is in the heavens tomorrow morning."
Type* of Old World Beauty.
It is said that when artists are seek
ing for models the palm for beauty and
symmetry of figure Is given to the girls
of Spain, while tho daughters of rural
Ireland are a good second. The pretty
faces and graceful throats are found
among English maidens. A model for
a perfect arm would be sought for
among Grecian ladles, while a lady of
the Turkish harem would be regarded
ns the possessor of a daintily com
mendable hand. Italians are usually
good in figure and some of the most
beautiful models, perfectly proportion
ed, arc derived from the women of
sunny Italy. Frenchwomen, as a rule,
are not iu request, being too thin and
vivacious for the purpose, whllo the
face and limbs of a German frau are
too commonplace for artistic work.—

Dangerous Vertigo. ]
Dizziness or Swimming of the Head .
Associated With a Sense of Fullness,
Dull Pain or Nervous Sick Head
ache is a certain Indication of
an Oncoming Apoplexy
or Paralysis.
Dr. A. AY. Chase s
Nerve Pills.
If the person subject to attack of diz
ziness or swimming of the head, com
monly called vertigo, would only stop
to realize that these symtons are not a
j disease in themselves, not temporary
ailments. bnt the plainest sort of warn
ings from nature of grave troubles of
deeper origin, of an exhausted nervous
system or an oncoming apoplexy, epi
lepsy or paralyses, the matter would
receive prompt attention. Dr. A. W.
' 'hase knew this and provided the cure
in his celebrated Nerve Pill, a medicine
that brings back the glow of health and
strength by its power to furnish jnst
what the ill fed, half starved nervous
system needs, good. rich, wholesome
blood and nerve force or energy.
Mr. E. Smith, of No. 1 L'nion Street,
Troy, N. Y.. says:
"I used to suffer constantly from
r.ervons headache and dizzy spells.
They came on at any time and in any
place —I was never safe from them —
stooping over always resulted in vertigo
my head pained me as well. I got a box of
DR. A. W. CHASES NERVE PILLS
and they cured the trouble rapidly, eas
ily and completely. It is the best med
icine I ever took. lam as 6onnd as a
dollar again in every particular and
very glad to recommend it to any one
in a similar '.ondition as a safe and cer
tain cure." 5
