The Age of Machinery. We live In the age of machinery. The thinking, directing mind be comes daily of more account, while mere brawn fRlls correspondingly In value from day to day. That eccen tric philosopher, Klhort Hubbard, says in one of his essays, "Where a machine will do better work than the human hand, we prefer to let the ma chine do the work." It has been but a few years since the cotton gin, the "spinning Jenny" and the power loom displaced the hand picker, the spinning wheel and the hand loom; since the reaper and binder, the rake and tedder, the mowing machine took the place of the old cradle, scythe, pitchfork and hand rake; since the friction match superseded the flint and tinder; since the modern paint factory replaced the slab and muller, the paint pot and paddle. In every case where machinery ha's been introduced to replace hand la bor, the laborers have resisted the change; and as the weavers, the sempstresses, and the farm laborers protested against new-fangled looms, sewing, machines and agricultural Implements, so in more recent times compositors have protested against typesetting machines, glass blowers against bottle-blowing machines, and painters against ready mixed paints. And as in the case of these short sighted classes of an earlier day, so with their imitators of to-day, the protest will be in vain. It is a pro .test against civilization, against the common weal, against their own wel fare. The history of all mechanical im provements shows that workmen are the first to be benefited by them. The invention of the sewing machine, instead of throwing thousands of women out of employment, increased the demand to such an extent that thousands of women have been em ployed, at better wages, for shorter hours and easier work where hun dreds before worked in laborious misery to eke out a pitiable exist ence. It was so with spinning and weaving machinery, with agricultural implements in fact, it is so with every notable improvement. The multiplication of books in the last decade is a direct result of the in vention of linotype machinery and fast presses. The mixed paint industry, in which Carefully designed paints for house painting are prepared on a large scale by special machinery, is an other improvement of the same type. The cheapness and general excellence of these products has so stimulated the consumption of paint that the de mand for the services of painters has correspondingly multiplied. Be fore the advent of these goods a well-painted house was noticeable from its rarity, whereas to-day an ill painted house is conspicuous. Nevertheless the painters, as a rule, following the example set by the weavers, the sempstresses and the farm laborers oil old, almost to a man, oppose the improvement. It Is a real improvement, however, and elmply because of that fact the sale of such products has increased until during the present year it will fall not far short of 90,000,000 or 100, 000,000 gallons. Hindsight is always better than foresight, and most of us who de plore the short-sightedness of our an cestors would do well to see that we de not in turn furnish "terrible ex amples" to our posterity. P. G. Water Power In Japan, The 8lmost unlimited water power of Japan has been little used except for the operating of rice mills. Now, however, a notable development is taking place in the utilization of water for power purposes and the generation of electricity in the neigh borhood of Kobo. Ever since the war the increased cost of coal has caus ed many concerns to look around for some more economical motive power than steam, and with this object in view a number of undertakings are now in course of formation. King Edward Not n Author. King Edward has never followed the example of Queen Victoria by writing books, but a biographer who is about to publish an account of his early life has succeeded in finding a drawing which the King made more than 60 years ago, and this will be given to the public, as well as some of Queen Victoria's infantile efforts. This is early Victorian art with a vengeance. FADED TO A SHADOW. Worn Down by Five Years of Suffer ing From Kidney Complaint.

Don't fall to keep the cream cans In cold water summer and winter. Don't fail to wash the cream sepa rator each time it is used with a brush and washing powder. Don't overlook the necessity for rinsing with clean, hot water. Don't forget that it is an impossi bility to make good butter from old, stale cream. Don't mix cold and warm cream. The fresh cream should bo cooled to the temperature of the cream to which it is to be added before mix ing. Don't put the cream In a cellar that is not absolutely free of vege table or other bad odors. Cream will absorb the odor of any Rtibstance that is near it. Hoard's Dairyman. Convenient Location of Silo. In the construction of a r-llo the question of having it. near to the eows is i nportant. Si!;ise is heavy stuff, as II has In it. all of the original Juice. It has to lie carried far, the labor becomes considerable. In the early days of silos in this country, many silos were built away from the barns, the builders not nirow- umm THE CONNECTION OK S ciating the amount of work that would be required to carry the silage to the cows. After that some went to the other extreme and constructd their silos inside of .heir barns and within a few feet of the rows of cows to be fed. This was a convenient arrange ment, but it filled the barn with the odor of silage, and this odor got into the milk. In most cases now the silo is being built in connection w-ith the barn, but not inside it. Our illus tration shows such an arrangement, that is very good where it is not de sired to store hay in the dairy barn. The silo is connected with the barn by means of a short extension from the barn. The opening in tho silo is on the inside, and in cold weather the doors can be shut, and this will in most instances bo enough to keep the silage from freezing. Through the open door in this extension is seen the truck used in conveying the Biiage from the silo to tho cows. When the silage would be likely to affect the milk the door to the barn can be closed to keep ou the odor. Keep tho Garden ISusy. Your chief aim Bhoul ' be to Keep your garden busy tho whole year. You will always find in the planting tables sous vseful crop that will till In where one has been harvested. If toward the end of the season say the middle of August you have More .empty space than you need for successful sowing, it will pay to fork over the ground, and bow white mus tard, or any green crop that grows quickly, to be turned under for man ure. Remember this: An empty garden is always a weedy one. It is ler trouble to sow such a crop than it is to hoe the weeds, and there are no bad effects. Air.i to plant in eacii plot as nearly as possible such things as can be harvester1 about the same time. It facilitates the work great ly, and looks better. Imagine man uring and forking over three feet, t n skipping ' or fifteen feet, and forking three feet more. More time Is wasted than would be necessary to cultivate a whole plot. J. T. Scott, in Garden Magazine. When Pigs Get Fat. One of the very necessary things to provide for the pigs firing the hot weather is a good shade where they may keep cool during the heat of the day. It is well known that a hog cannot stand much heat, for the reason that he cannot perspire like most animals, and, therefore, a cool place must be provided for him. Na tural shade is, of cburse, the best If dense enough;, the darker the rlace for them'durlng the heat of the day the better, but there should be a good circulation of air. Hogs seldom leave the cool shade until toward. evening, at which time you will find them out grazing like a drove of cattle. . After the evening feed of grain they will remain out tilj well along In the even ing, and the very first thing in the 4 AHi. early morning one will find them out grazing on the dewy grass. After the morning feed they will go to their cool shade and remain during the heat of the day. It is when lying in solid comfort that they are adding the pounds to their weight and mak ing money for their owner. Farm ing. Ture Water For Bees. At certain seasons bees require a great deal of water. If it is not sup plied they will find it, and they never stop to question whether it is frfim a spring of absolute purity or a cess pool at least they readily accept tin latter if it happen to be more ac cessible. Somo beekeepers, who would scorn to sell any but pure honey, are unconsciously or thought lessly guilty of adulteration through neglect at this point. If you doubl this, notice how the bees cluster about the nearest moist spot, no mat ter how much of filth it may con tain. The watering trough for stock , may be their gathering place. This has a twofold objection. Tho farm stock is sometimes molested, and the bees seem to recognize and resent the intrusion of a strange horse, and a runaway Is liable to ensue. Again, many bees are drowned in the deep water; a shallow dish avoids this fatality. One of the simplest as well as most convenient devices is to saw grooves a quarter of an inch deep In a board. Surround this with a nar row rim of lath, thereby making a shallow dish. Invert a can of water over the middle of the board; the water will trickle down and keep the grooves full until the supply in the cm is exhausted. The bees will thus he constant!" supplied, with no dart- V . 'V.V..V i: ...:,; ;M: 'v:x 1LO WITH THE BARN. ger of drowning. Besslo L. Putnam, in Tribuno Farmer. Profitable Dairying. We are always interested in the financial accounts as kept by a great many who make their living on the farm. The following record from the Practical Farmer interested us very much, and, no doubt, will be of value to most of our readers: At Parrington, on the border lino between Lake and Cook counties, Il linois, Edward Landwer, a dairyman, milking thirty-two head of cows forming a mixed herd, has been keep ing books to find out the cost of pro ducing an eight-gallon can of milk. In one year the thirty-two cows milked 2884 cans. He figures out his expenses as $1501, which indi cates an average cost per can of 52.04 cents. The milk sold for 85 cents a can. The cows in this herd were largely bought from tho Chi cago stock yards at prices ranging from $40 to $65 a head, according to the nearness of the time when they were expected to become fresh. At a' station from wffich 21,000 quarts of milk are shipped dally most of tho herds are made up of this class of stock. Following is a table of re ceipts and expenditures: RECEIPTS.

The law Is an inheritance of the common law of England, and has never been repealed. Whiles and Indians are forbidden to marry in some states, as are also whites and Chinese In some of the Pacific coast states. Yet many white men and women have married In dians. Lunatics are not allowed to marry, but the ceremony Is valid If It takes place during a sane period. New Jersey law states speciflca'ly that tho deaf and dumb are not im beciles under tho law, and, therefore may marry. Most of the other states make the same provision. Connecticut forbids any woman who Is an Imbecile or feeble-minded to marry. The legal age of marriage differs in various states. In the majority the marriage of tunica under II years or of females under 12 years Is voidable. In Ohio the ape is fixed at 18 for males and Iti for females. In Cali fornia, 18 and 15; in Iowa, 18 and 14; in North Carc.'lna, 10 and II. Cleve land News. Monkeys and Ranches. Not Irish, but delightful, is the story of the nutoniohllist who, In mak ing a cross-country tour In Dakota, had the misfortune to have his ma chine break down, lie saw a small house not far off and cut across to it. The only man about the place was a Swede, who was much amused by the sight of the strange rig the iinloinobil Ist wore. "My friend," said the auto mobilist, "my machine has had a bad break and 1 would like to know If you have such a thlnK as a monkey wrench about here?" The Swede looked at the nutomnliillst with great er curiosity than ever, and then laughed. He had met some strange folks and heard some odd things since he had conic to America, but. this was the worst!
