Movement of a Carriage Wheel,
The top of a carriage wneel in
passing along the road moves more
quickly through the atmosphere than
the bottom. This sounds foolish,
but it is absolutely sound. It is due
to the movable axis, or axle. The
top of the wheel has forward motion
plus forward revolution. The bot-
tom of the wheel has the same for-
ward motion minus backward revolu-
tion.—London Saturday Review.

Uncle Sam’s biggest army is the

more than seventy thousand, exceed-

ed the discontinuance of nearly 2,000
fourth-class post offices during the
last year, and the new offices created
do not offset the losses.

Savings Banks Insurance.
The Massachusetts Legislature last
year authorized savings banks un-
der proper restrictions to enter the
life insurance business, and the first
bank to take advantage of the law
is that of which ex-Governor Douglas
is President. The legislation was
urged both by organized labor and
by the representatives of capital, and
much is expected of the new idea.
At a time when various banking and
insurance reforms are under discus-
sion, it is interesting to note what
the Massachusetts law provides.
The act permits banks to establish
insurance departments for the bene-
fit of depositors, to issue policies for
not more than $500, and to make an-
nuity contracts not to exceed $200.
There are to be no agents nor col-
lectors, and any profits to be divided
among annuitants and policyholders.
. The banks undertaking this line of bus- |
iness, furnish proper guarantees, and |
the State assumes general supervi-
sion.
Warblers and Caterpillars.
The enormous number of insects
that breeding warblers must secure |
to feed their young may be inferred
from the fact that each young bird
requires fully half its cwn weight of
insects each day. As the young are
fed very largely on caterpillars, and
as they, are reared at a time when
these insects are most plentiful, there
is no doubt regarding the restraining
influence exerted upon the increase of
such insect life throughout the North
Temperate zone by a family of birds
so abundant and widely distributed
as the warblers.
BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.
A lady writer who not only has
done good literary work, but reared
a family, found in Grape-Nuts the
ideal food for brain work and to de-
velop healthy children. She writes: —
“I am an enthusiastic proclaimer
of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I
formerly had no appetite in the morn-
ing and for 8 years while nursing
my four children, had insufficient
nourishment for (hem.
‘“Uuable to eat breakfast I felt
faint later, and would go to the pan-
try and eat cold chops, sausage,
cookies, doughnuts or anything I hap-
pened to find. Being a writer, at
times my head felt heavy and my
brain asleep. .
“When I read of Grape-Nuts I
began eating it every morning, also
gave it to the children, including my
10 months’ old baby, who soan grew
as fat as a little pig, good fatured
and contented.
“Within a week I had plenty of
breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. I wrote evenings and
feeling the néed of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer
of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of
my usual indigestible hot pudding,
pie, or cake for dessert at night.
‘““Grape-Nuts did wonders for me
and I learned to like it. I did not
mind my housework or mother's
eares, for I felt strong and full of
‘go.” 1 grew plump, nerves strong,
and when I wrote my brain was
active and clear; indeed, the dull
head pain never returned.”
““There’s a Reason.”

A ‘New Breed of Horses.
A breed of horses that is being de-
veloped at the Colorado Agricultural
College, at Ft. Collins, in co-opera-
tion with the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, appears to have
some promising characteristics. The
object in view has been to develop a
‘first-class carriage horse that has
plenty of “go” combined with great
powers of endurance.
Lime For a Disinfectant,
When lime is used as a disinfect-
ing whitewash, be sure that it is
“live,” as gcod results cannot be
secured with that which has been
air-slacked. Whitewash made with
good lime will kill* all Vermin that
it touches, while air-slaked lime
whitewash {is about as effective as
that much clear water. Care should
be exercised to keep the whitewash
from the legs of the fowls, as it will
cauge the skin to become inflamed
and sore. The eyes, combs and wat-
tles will also suffer.—N. W. Agri-
culturist.

New British - Cattle Regulation.
Consul Edward B. Walker, of Bur-
slem, England, writes that under -an
order of the Board of Agriculture
January 1, 1908, no horse, ass or
mule brought to’ Great Britain, from
any other country, except Ireland,
the Channel Islands or the Isle of
Man, is to be landed in Great Britain
unless accompanied by a certificate
of a veterinary surgeon to the effect
that he examined the animal imme-
diately before it was embarked, or
while it was on board the vessel, and
that he found the animal did not
show symptoms of danders or farcy.

Good Soil, Good Crops.
The fact that there is an occasional
field of corn in almost every section,
which ripened up thoroughly, would
lead us to believe that, after all, the
condition of the soil or method of
cultivation may have had something
corn crop. Every corn plant must
form root, stalk and leaves before
it is ready to elaborate the grain. So
it is reasonable that if either condi-
tion of soil or method of culture hin-
ders or retards growth, the process
of ripening must be delayed. Rich
sod ground in many instances pro-
cured sounder corn this past season
than old ground, and while this is
contrary to usual results, it seemed
to have worked out that way this sea-
son. The seed was slow to germinate,
and it made slow growth. The corn
became stunted early and it was not
able to overcome the setback. So it
has turned out that many poor fields
and Fisheries; which came into force’
to do with the uneven outcome of the |
comes through the purebred dairy
sire, but much can be accomplished
without waiting for a new breed to
grow up. I have found the best
plan is to study the requirements of
the milk animals I have. Give them
first-class feed and care =nd they
will readily prove themselves cap-
able of producing a profit. A man
who cannot improve the yielding
ability of a herd of common cows is
only likely to make a failure of blood-
ed stock.
There are many gems among SoO-
called ‘‘common cows,” but their
good qualities are never brought out
and they run their unprofitable course
because their owners are careless
men. Observe every animal in the
‘herd with a critical eye. Offer her
extra feed and see if she will eat it;
if she eats it up clean and gives a
profit, give her more. Provide all
the pure water-she will drink. Look
to her bedding and comfort in the
stable, and see that she does not
have to stand in a bleak barnyard
or exposed to cold storms.—R. B.
Rushing, in the Indiana Farmer.
Ration For Sheep.
As to the most desirable kinds of
feed to be used for a .grain ration,
variety is the best. We know this
from our own experience, as we soon
tire of a sameness of ciet; it is also
true of our farm animals. When a
variety is supplied, more food is con-
sumed and the better the aigestion.
I have found, says a farmer in writ-
ing tc ‘Farmers’ Review, that an
equal amount of crushed corn, oats,
wheat, bran and oil cake best suits
the taste and requirements of the
lambs and gives good results as to
the growth and gain in flesh and fat;
the latter quality is especially de-
manded in the early market .lamb.
I would then increase the crushed
corn to the limit that it would be rel-
ished, for a fat lamb is far preferable
to a lean one of much larger size.
But where the lambs are to be car-
ried through the summer for feed-
ing the following winter, then good
size, growth and stamina are re-
quired. In that event I would cut
out the corn from their ration for
best results. But they should be
fed this grain ration, as there is no
time in an animal's life when as
great returns will be given for food
consumed as when suckling its dam.
The Carriage Horse.
It appears that the Bureau of Ani-
mal Industry, operated under the

Labor Makes the Hens Pay.
Those who endeavor %o secure the
most eggs by selecting the ‘best
breed” have found that, after all,
it is the labor and care which makes
the profit. Ask any number of poul-
trymen their opinion as to which
breed is the best, and it will be found
that they do not agree, some prefer-
ring one breed and some the others.
A farmer may secure what he sup-
poses to be the best breed only to
be disappointed, while the breed
which is rejected may prove profit-
able with his neighbors because of
better care. The hens should not pay
better in winter than in summer, but
no doubt the farmers are better satis-
fied with the winter result; due to the
giving of more attention to the hens
because no other farm work is urgent.
Women and children cannot care
properly for the fowls when the
ground is covered with snow. There
is something more to do than to
throw down corn for them. They
must have water that is not frozen,
the eggs must be collected often to
avoid freezing, the floors must be
cleaned, a variety of food must be
mixed, and sick fowls must be cared
for, as well as looking after other
details.— Weekly Witness.

New bioon is to be desired, il it
government breeding industry showed
more wisdom in this move than in
anything else they have cver done
since they began the effort to create
an American type of carriage horse.
They have gone tq.the men who are
interested as breeders in the horses
needed for the establishment of the
ideal already conceived.
A type of carriage horses might
be created from a variety of horses.
The show horse, the thoroughbred,
the hackney or the good looking
nondescripts which might be picked
up in different parts of the country.
By long continued selection and care
a type might be established in this
way in the course of time, but before
an ideal was produced there would
be no end of disappointments, not
to say a hig bill of costs.
The shortest cut to the ideal
American carriage horse is through
the American trotter, and the govern-
ment breeders are likely to isarn this
important truth if ther keep in touch
with the trotting horse breeders they
have invited to co-operate with them.
The best type of well-bred trotting
horses to-day are little more than an
intensified type ». the carriage horse.
They have the best conformation for
road work of any horse in the world.
The best for the heavier work of
pulling a big carriage. They have
been bred until they possess a hare
mony of good points unknown in any
otlier horse. All of these things are
desirable in the carriage horse.—

DROPS Y FEW DISCOVERY;
Our Overheated Houses.
That “colds” are due to “catching
heat” is another one of the curious
paradoxes due to the modern inves-
tigations of disease, and by “colds”
is meant all the acute inflammations
of the respiratory tract, including
pneumonia. Eskimos never have
pneumonia at home, but they =early
all die of it when they come to New
York. This disease is now the most
fatal one in the heat of Panama.
Peary states that none of his party
suffered from coughs and colds in
the Arctic, but after their return they
have all had such diseases. “Tropical
colds’’ are the persistent forms of
bronchitis and so hard to “throw off”
or cure. It is well to inquire, now
that the benefits of cold air are be-
ing recognized, whether our winter
colds are not really due to the un-
wholesome heat of our houses, which
are hotter in winter than in sum-
mer. If so, we do not “catch cold”
when we leave the house, but ‘“‘catch
heat” when we enter it. Every
new fact seems to point to the neces-
sity of a reform in our methods of
overheating our houses.—From Amer-
