Northern Iowa is blessed with this kind of wells, and pure, uucontam inated water is the first thing to se cure on any farm. The windmill sends It first to the tank in the top of the refrigerator through the short pipe, indicated by dotted lines, the overflow runs hack through the other pipe and goes to the stock water tank. The water is need ed for stock, so none of It Is wated. It is also needed at the hoase, and faucets permit its being taken out at the house as desired. It is cool and pure, and can be drawn out in pantry, dining-room or kitchen, or all, aa de sired. Shelves in the lower part hold the milk, butter, fruit and whatever eJse is desired to be kept no ad, and the wife does not have to go down cellar after butter, nor to the well for water, nor the man of Uio house have to get ice for which he has no need. The tank I use Is four feet high, three feet wide and one foot thick, and msde of galvanized steel. A cup-hoard-like structure wit.hout shelves in the upper portion affords a good place to locate this tank, and the wiud mill will do the rest. The pipes run nndertrrmind from well t rtonw. in trench six feet deep, so as to lie free i from frost. A stopcock at the pump allows the water to be sent to the i house when desired, or direct to the stock tank without first passing through thn house tank. E. C Ren nett, in Orange Judd Farmer. HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN. The good dairy cow is not always the fat and sleek one. Sudden changes in feed will cause the cows to shrink in milk. Troper feed shows the breed in dairy cows at milking time. Ice-cold water is eertuln aid in di minishing the How of milk from a cow. A tin vcsc4 containing milk is much preferablo to crocks or stoneware ves sels. A good remedy for swollen t-at on a milch cow, is eipwl parts of glycer in and lobelia. Webster dues nttt in Hie itnfi tii i j...! of buttei.( allude lo oieomargarlae as a butter produc Don't feed the skim mirk to the calf sour. Heat milk to about 90 de grees before feeding. The separator on the farm removes the possibility of rearing a stunted calf on skim milk. The food for the cows should be of such a nature that no bad taste will be Imparted to the milk. One good dairy cow is sujierior to three poor cows in the dairy. The difference is in the cost of feed. Get the milk from the barn into a cool, well-ventilated place as soon as possible after it has been drawn. Get rid of that idea you have to starve tho calf if it makes a good dairy cow. It's a delusion and a snare. Raise all the food you can for your cows at home on your own ground. In that way you can get good money for the crops themselves. Kurul . vvonu. Onlr Good Cowa l'n Prosit. It is a common error among the unthinking cow owners to try to feed poor cows into a state of profitable ness. The writer has known men with a herd of poor cows to try to feed them so as to increase their ca pacities, but he has never known one to succeed in doing so. It pays to start only with good cows, whether raised or purchased. The good cow begins to pay a profit at once, and he continues it for n long period each year. As a breeder she presents possibilities not discoverable in the poo? cow. Farmers' Review. ADULTERATED COFFEE. GROCER WHITE FOUND CUII.TV OF VIOLATING O"1 )'S ru;;i FOOD LAWS. IntrrMrr: Pacts ineerntnrt RoamtlriK o( Col Drought out li (cleatll I'xuvctk l'r icnce of lluc tsrla, Toi edo, 0., Aug, 0. The Jury in Judge UeCk's COUrt in this cltv has fonn.l James White, ;i local grocer, gtilltv of si lling adulterati 1 coffee. The nroaa. cution was bas. d on a package of Ar bucklea Arioaa coffee. The State of Ohio, through the Pure Pood Commission, prosecuted White. The cast was on trial fu- nearly a iiiouth and attracted national atten- i Uon. The manufacturers of Arlosa coffee j conducted the defense for Grocer none. ine best attorneys In the Country Were retained to defend him was t hat Aiiosa coffee was coated with n substnnco which concealed defect! In lb.- coffee and made it appear better than It is. The State charged this coating or glazing was a favorable me dium for the propagation of bacteria. Prof. t:. A. Klrchmaier, of this city, a well known chemist, was the princi pal witness for the Statu, lie had made scientific examinations of sam ples of Arioaa purchased from Grocer White In the open market. He found that each Arlosa berry contained nu average of 3(H) bacteria. Mr. Klrch maier further testified that other cof fees he examined contained few bacte ria or none at all. He declared that the glazed coffee WBI not a wholesome i food product. ; Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, cor j mborated the testimony of Frof. Klrch , maler. The State did not present fur i ther testimony. The defense through the Arbucklea, i who prepared this glazed coffee, se cured some of the most eminent chem ists and scientists in the United States to give tufltbuoiiy In their behalf. Prof. It. W. Wlloy, of the United States Ag ricultural Deportment; Prof. Vaughn ef Ann Arbor University; Profs. Blelle and Webber, of the Ohio State Univer sity, were called to defend Arioaa. Dr. Wiley had made a careful examination of the method of manufacturing Ario aa. He told of the 19,000,000 egga used by the Arbuckles yearly In the prepara tion this glatlng. On this point In croaa examination, the State's attorney deftly drew from him the lnformatlen that these eggs might be kept In cold storage by the Arbuckles for a year or two at a time. Tho experts who beard Dr. Wlley'a testimony were pleased to be able to "catch" so famous a chemist. The doc tor at one point in his testimony ex plained very clearly how It Is thot the egg put Into the coffee pot by the house wife settles the coffee. He said that the heat coagulates the egg, and aa K sinks to the bottom of the pot It carries the tine particles of coffee with It, and thus clarifies the drink. It la the act ef coasollation in the coffee pot that doea the work. Later on In his cress exam ination, he had to admit that when the rgg was put on Arioaa coffee at the factory It became coagulated, and as egg cannot bo coagulated but once, that tho coating on coffee was practically no value, as a "settler" when It reached the coffee pot Prof. Wiley acknowledged that the glazing might bo a favorable medium for tho propagation of bacteria, al though he would not testify positively either way because he waa not a bac teriologist. Prof. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, also a witness for the Arbuckles, said he found bacteria on Arlosa coffee. l'rof. Blelle, another witness for the defense, found any number of lively bacteria on Arlosa coffee he examined, and be agreed that glazed coffee surety was a more favorable medium for the propagation of bacteria tban anglaicd coffee. Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn says: "The State Is very much elated over Its victory against this corpora tion. We are now considering the ad visability of Informing every grocer tn the State of Ohio that It is an infrac tion of tbe laws to sell Arioaa, and at the same time give warning to con sumers that tbe coffee Is an adulterat ed food article." The verdict of the Jury in this case Is of national Importance because a jtarat many other States have pure food laws like that of Ohio, and It Is natural to suppose that similar action will be taken by other Pure Food Commis sioners to prevent the sale of glazed coffees. tVnahlnarton'a Faatldlooa Kinsman. Lawrence, enrl of Ferrera, a distant relative of George Washington, bad a most tyrannical temper, and one day In a fit of passion he cut down wltb bis sword his steward, an old gentleman named Johnson. The latter had given no provocation for tbe deed, and the crime was an act of brutality Inexcusa ble save that the earl may not nave been well balanced mentally. He was brought to trial for killing Johnson and d"inandcd and received tbe privi lege of being tried by his peers. The house of lords was thronged dur ing the hearing. The evidence proved to be conclusive, and Ferrers was sen tenced to be hnttged nt Tyburn. All ocate were made to the king for clem ency, but In vn In. Ferrers met bis fate with considerable bravado, lie was carefully attired for the occasion and insisted on providing n silken cord for the ceremony.

IDEAL MARKETING W ordinary open farm wagon be us.-d, there is little protection from the sun and Hying dust, while all the ar ticles composing tin- load are more or less jumbled together, detracting from their flavor. Again, a rusty looking old wagon is not suggestive of delicious fruits, vegetables or dairy products. Bright paint and vumisll pay big interest when it comes to the selection of a market vehicle. It will often pay to build a wagon just suited to the needs of the farm Whose crops arc to be disposed of at first hand, or t least to build n wagon body that may be set upon a "low-down" running gear that may already lie at bond. The accompany ing design of a farm marketing wag on is presented for the consideration of those who may lind it expedient to build. This wagon was designed for the convenience of the farmer and for the safe bestowal of his load in a manner to make the contents of the load show to the best advantage. It has a "deck" on which the bulky articles, such a cabbage, squashes, melons, etc., can lie heaped up, while "below deck" is a covered space, ac cessible from four points, where such articles as butter, cream, strawber ries, etc., can lie kept secure from heat and dust. This Interior space can be reached from behind the cart, the end letting down; from either side through little doors, and by lift ing up the driver's seal in front. Ice could be used in one of these apart mrnia io seep cream, milk, butter and tender fruit in the hert condi tion, A ennvas cover over the whole will not only add to the attractive Ap pearsmce of the outfit, but will pro tret the load from sun or showers. With so handsome n wagon, with a driver clean and neatly dressed and ith farm products of No. l quality, there will be Tin lack of nat ronaL'e. and the money the consumer pays will all go into the farmer's pocket. --Webb Donnell, in Farm and Home. THINNING POTATOES. Ftiperleaeed Cronrr Trlln VV a r Me la Not In Kavnr of Thin tirn erallr Popular I'mrllrr. Those who use -mall potatoes for seed usually get more stains in a hill than they like, uud the question oc casionally conies: "Would it pay to thin them out?" This has been tried by many persons, and I know one ex tensive grower who finds it profitable in his large fields. It is my own ex perience that such thinning does not accomplish as much as the thinning of corn. In the latter ease each plant is as thrifty for a time ns it would have been if standing alone, while in the ease of the potato a large num ber of plants coming from the same seed causes weakness. We want a hardy, thick sprout from the start, and while the thinning helps, the remaining plunts never become as heavy and strong as they would have been if the same amount of potatoes had never fed more than two sprouts. More than this, the thinning disturbs some of the plants that remain, un less the work is very carefully done. I should prefer to have the thinning Hone if there are many plants from a single small potato; but it is much better not to have the extra plants, and this is secured by using large tubers for seed, cutting to pieces of two or three eves. Where ground has been hard-packed by rains after planting this late sen son, good, close cultivation is needed. The potato will not thrive in a packed soil. For such land a deep cultiva tion, almost Under the row, should be given as soon as possible after all the plunts nre up nicely. This cuts off some roots, but it gives loose soil, and if after-cultivation is shallow the new roots quickly fill the well-looa-ened soil, mid there is a chance for a yield that is not possible to a soil bard-packed right after planting.
