Vehicle Run bv a Sail.
The feasibility of nailing easily over
the frozen surfaces of rivers and lakes
has long been recognized and utilized,
and it -would now appear as if the
wind can render helpful service U
some extent in connection with loco
.motion over normal roads. A German
Invemer- has perfected and patented
a simple sail vehiclo which makes fair
progress over good roads and across
eandy stretches, such as a sea beach.
The dominating features in the con
struction are lightness and effective
steering facilities. The present form
is a light framework supporting a sad
dle and a mast for the sail, and rest
ing upon four wheels, one wheel on
either side and one before and one
behind. The two latter are of a larger
diameter than the former, and all are
far apart, as fs the practice with au
tomobile wheels. A person sitting on
the sadd'e rests his feet on this trans
verse axle, and by suitable pressure
can alter at once the relation of the
wheels to the main axis of the frame
work,. ' This arrangement furthermore
leaves hk bands completely free for
adjusting the position of the sail or
using a brake. The whole device has
certain lightness and elegance which
will appeal probably at first to the
lover of sport. Government Consular

ADOUl IWU years agu my ejen gut in
nob a condition that I was unable to go
bout. They were terribly inflamed, both
the balls and lida. I tried home remedies
without relief. Then I decided to go to our
family physician, bat he didn't help them.
Then I tried two more of our moat promi
nent physicians, but my eye grew contin
uity worse. At this time a friend of mine
advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and
after using it about one week my eyes were
considerably Improved and In two weeks
they were almost well. They have never
given me any trouble since and I am now
ixty-five years old. I shall never fail to

Training Glrla for Wives.
Mr. J. J. Evans, at a meeting of
Cheshire Educational committee at
Crewe, called attention to the success
which bad attended to the success
wtilch had attended the Beblngton
Housewifery or Cottage Home-making
center. The work was Inaugurated In
the autumn of 1907 at Beblngton. The
girls as far as possible were selected
from those about to complete their
school career, and the course of train
lag was In all the duties of a house
wife, Including shopping, preparation
of food, food values, digestion, sani
tation, care of the sick, care of chil
dren, feeding Infants, and the right
expenditure of household Income.
Each girl was thoroughly instructed
In every branch of the work. Ar
rangements were made for the girls
to remain to dinner, with the ad
vantage that they bought, prepared,
cooked and served the meal which
they themselves ate. By this means
!allure was remembered and success
luly appreciated. The chairman, Al
terman Hodgson, said be had visited
he Beblngton center, and he was de-,
Ighted with the work done, and he
elleved the board of education would
eoognlce the value of It. Manchester

Vegetable Milk.
A cheap substitute for the milch
cow haB been discovered by the Jap
anese In the form of a tiny bean,
states the Farmers' Home Journal.
The Juice, which Is extracted by a
special process from the bean, Is said
to be an excellent vegetable milk, the
properties of which render It highly
suitable for use in tropical countries.
The preparation is obtained from the
Boja bean, which Is a popular article
of food among the poorer classes of
Chinese and Japanese. In making
the vegetnble milk the beans are first
of all softened by soaking and boiled
In water. The resultant liquor Is ex
actly similar to cow's milk In appear
ance, but Is entirely different in its
composition. -
Tor Yoiinir Horses.
An experienced breeder has discov
ered that equal parts of ground onts
and corn make an excellent ration for
young horses. Others add bran to
make a well balanced ration to pro
duce a symmetrical growth of bone,
muscle and fat in young horses. The
bran Is rich In protein and phospho
rus, which build up bone and muscu
lar development, and beir.s mildly ca
thartic prevents constipation. Clover
hay and alfalfa are excellent rough
age for yotins; hor3es, as they are rich
In the elements of bone and muscle
growth. Commercial horses row
must have heavy bane as a founda
tion of stable endurance, and breed
ers should develop their young horses
on those rations which will promote
the growth of bone, (ho elements of
which Bre contained In oats, bran, alf
alfa and clover. Indiana Farmer.
I'esfrwlnina; a Horse.
An old horseman gave me his way
of restraining a fractious horso which
answers the purpose In good shape.
It Is a strap from the foreleg a little
above the knee to the halter and fast
ened with buckles at each end. The
strap Is two feet long or about right
to hold the head nearly level. The
contrivance makes unruly action very
difficult and unpleasant for the horse,
and he finally learns to behave with
out its aid. I. A. L., Middlesex Count
ty, Connecticut.
A Shortage in the Tig .rop.
The American Swineherd says:
"From the general tenor of letters re
ceived from breeders in the different
parts of the country we are led to be
lieve, that the pig crop will be demon
strated a short one. The fact is we
fthve been getting into this condition
for eighteen months or more. High
priced grain and pork below a com
parative price of grain caused people
to market their, hogs close and to save
fewer sows. As one man said In the
office it is very hard to convince a
farmer, when he can get seventy
cents cash a bushel for his corn at
bis town elevator, that it was not his
duty to cash It in there Instead of
feeding it to hogs or any other ani
mals. The shortage is showing In
the number of hogs that are being
marketed, as they are below previous
years, while the number of consumers
are constantly Increases."
Quality of Milk,
A great many persons have held
the mistaken notion that with certain
kinds of feeding the cow will increase
the per cent, of bSitter fat. An Eng
lish dairyman after'much experience
says:
"The ouality of the milk vleiried
by a cow depends more upon the indi
viduality of the cow than upon any
other factor, and that a cow la not
merely a machine into which one can
put a certain amount of food of
known composition with the sure
knowledge that one will get milk of
squally known composition. A cow
Is a machine certainly, but one whose
Idiosyncrasies, as expressed- in the
tuality of the milk she produces, can
only b8 ascertained by actual testing.
Hence the need for testing cows for
the quality as well as tije quantity of
their milk is brought out. Ev such a
proceeding and by breeding only from
tnose cows which give milk rich in
fat, the, dairy herds of this country
could undoubtedly be ereatlv im
proved, but our methods are altogeth
er too haphazard for such an ideal
ever to b realized. In tme mean
time, and so long as a legal limit for
milk of. three per cent, of fat exists
we muBt be content with showing
that a large number of individual
cows do undobutedly fall below that
limit in the course of .every" year,
while with equal certainty the mirprl
milk of many herds undoubtedly does
so, though with less frequency than
that of individuals. The relative fre-)
1 1
i
quency with which the herds do so
will depend on the number of Buch in
dividual offenders, and the only safe
wny to avoid the risk of one's milk
falling below the limit of three per
cent., of butterfat Is to find out and
get rid of the worst offenders.
A Tnlk on Turkeys.
Now Is the time to feed the early
hatched turkeys liberally and have
them ready for the Thanksgiving
market. It rarely pays to hold them
for the holiday market. The Thanks-
giving market Is nearly always the
best. And turkeys take on fat better
now than they will later when cold
snowy weather comes. Corn Is the
national fattening grain for the na
tional birds and the most available
feed with most of us. We like to
give them all the corn they will eat
these days for their evening ration,
and oats soaked over night In water
for the morning meal. Another thing
very essential while feeding turkeys
heavily is coarse sharp grit. And
plenty of milk to drink Is an aid in
fattening turkeys. How their bodies
plump up after a few weeks of goed
feeding. It won't do to rush them off
to market regardless of flesh. The
returns from a lean lot of birds are
sure to be discouraging. , When well
fattened their plumage Is smooth and
glossy. The experienced buyer can
tell by the appearance of the plumage
whether they are well fattened or not.
In England, I am told, they confine
turkeys during the fattening period
with good results. We have tried
shutting them up while fattening with
poor success. They are such liberty
loving birds, In our experience, if
won't do to confine them very long
at any time In their lives.
Don't you think it will pay to keep
enough turkey hens so you will have
eggs to spare your friends and neigh
bors? They will willingly pay ypu a
good price. I have a neighbor who
keeps a dozen turkey hens and she
sells all the eggs to her neighbors at
$1 a setting. She considers this the
Biirest way of getting money out of
turkeys. One nice thing about sell
ing tuikey eggs for hatching Is that
It is no trouble to sell them near
home. This lady I have been telling
you about gets orders for her eggs
over the 'phone, and they are all bpo-
ken for long before the laying season.
One dollar for eleven eggs doesn't
seem like a very big price, but It
amounts to a neat little sum at the
end of the season, and this party is at
no expense to sell her eggs. Whether
we sell the eggs or set them ourselves
we should bo careful in selecting
breeding birds and holding onto them.
Selling off older hens we know to
be good layers and breeders and keep
Ing young ones for breeding is a mis
take. Up to their fifth year turkeys
are profitable-as breeders. And they
are not fully mature until two years
old, and at three years a hen Is at her
best. Fannie M. Wood, in the In
diana Farmer,
Potash Reonired WiUi Lime.
Many farmers have an idea that
lime Will unlock the stores of insolu
ble potash in the soil and make it
available for plant food.' But when
you ask for their reasons you will
find them very uncertain and unable
to substantiate their opinions either
with the results of experiment station
work or practical experiments on their
own farms. Properly used' lime is
one of the most valuable aids to suc
cessful farming, but when used with
out fertilizer it will Impoverish the
soil, as shown by the old English pro
verb: "Lime without manure will
make the farm and the farmer poor."
There is nothing gained by making
extravagant claims for the use of
lime, and that it makes any of the
potash in the soil available is very
doubtful and not supported by experi
ments so far as I can learn. In fact
my experience is that an application
of potash will give much better re
sults with lime than without it, which
would not be the case - it the lime
made any quantity of potash avail
able. In addition to Its effect in
sweetening the soil, all four mate
rials, life, nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash are necessary for plant
growth. No one element will answer
the purpose without the other, but
all are necessary to obtain the best
results. An experiment conducted
with fertilizers at the Ohio experi
ment station shows the. Increased
yield of clover in the hay crop in a ro
tation of corn, oats, wheat, clover and
timothy, the lime being applied to
the corn crop. Acid phosphate and
lime gave an increase of 1847 pounds;
acid phosphate, potash and lime gave
an Increase of 2521 pounds, a gain of
674 pounds for the use of potash with
the lime and phosphoric acid, and
this in a soil that the authorities say
Is very deficient in phosphoric acid
and lime and supposed to have a fair
amount of potash. The weight of
evidence goes to show that the use of
potash and lime should go hand in
hand. Still the farmer should not
follow any experiment blindly, but
rather test his soil for himself and
find out the properties of lime, pbos-.j
phorlc acid, nitrogen and potash,
which will give the best results on his
own farm, and use the results of the
experiment stations simply as a guide.
