Horse Tie for Stables
Horsemen will appreciate the value
Df tJie device pictured in the accom
panying cut the object of the Jnven
tion being to reduce to a minimum the
liability of getting the animals feet
tangled up in the tethering rops and
ateo to keep the rope out of the way
while the animal is eating t By means
of a specially constructed halter the
connection is made on the upper in
stead of the under side of the nose
strap and the tie extends to a point
level with or above the animals head
IChe invention also includes an arrange-
f
IMPKOVKD TKTHERIXG DKVICE
tmdnt for taking up the slack In the
vope without in any way pulling on
ithe halter sufficiently to annoy the ani
Xfcnal The rope is passed through the
front of the manger resting on a pul
lej which may be adjusted to any de
sired height and a small weight is at
tached to the outer end which issuffi
cient to hold the rope taut no matter
in what position the animal puts liis
head A patent on the device has been
granted to William H Bartrum of
Derby England
J Selling Hay
We have heard of a man who thought
he1 was making money by selling his
grass standing or hiring it cut and Sell
ing the hay lie had what is often
called a natural grass farm moist
enough to insure a pretty good crop
rf4very year when in fair condition For
Ipmany years he had run it as a dairy
f frni keeping considerable stack and
manuring his fields heavily At last
old age and a well earned competense
decided him to leave the farm and in
stead of renting it out for some one
else to skin off what he had put on the
land he put it all in grass Then he
sold grass or hay as seemed best at the
time and when the fields began to get
thin they were given a very liberal
dressing of commercial fertilizer He
said he received more than the fer
tilizer cost enougli to enable him to lay
up more money than he could when
working the farm How long he would
be able to do this we do not know but
we think the soil would soon begin to
show a lack of humus or some other
element of plant food But if he suc
ceeds according to his plan it will be
of the condition of the soil
wlfen he began the large applications
of fertilizers Avould be likely to keep
the condition good for a long time Not
every one could do so well Exchange
Chap Poultry House
A plnn for a cheap double house for
fowls of two kinds winch may be kept
separate and with a yard to -each part
is here given It is seven feet high at
the eaves eighteen feet wide and may
be as long as may be required to give
ample room for the Hocks kept in it
For two Hocks if it is divided in the
middle each half having its yard
ftyjliilh is closed in and roofed over
imiere tue run is not large one uocic
faybe kept in the covered run Av hile
A DOUBLE POULTRY IIOUSK
the other is let oit The house is a
eery cheap one being built of common
strips around the yard and of rough
boards covered with tarred roofing pa
per well secured by strips nailed down
over it This kind of roofing will last
many times longer if it is well fastened
flown in this way The house should
be lined inside with the same stuff
which is a safe antidote against ver
min If the house is kept clean
Danser in Crimson Clover
The little stiff hairs only about dne
eighth of an inch long which are to
be seen on the heads of crimson clover
are barbed and when the clover is
ripe they are stiff and hard When they
an fed to horses they lump together
Info balls in the stomach and intes
tines refusing to pass away in the ex-
qcement Cases have been known
wilufre such balls were five inches in
ftilJSlkr andswith such a ball in the
intestines it is almost impossible to
save the life of an animal For this
reason when the clover is cut for hay
it should be done before any of the
heads mature or even bofore tbxy are
in full blossom while these bails are
soft and pliable When the clover is
growui for seed do not use the straw fov
feeding or cvn for bedding unless the
animal is so fastened that it cannot
react the bedding to eat it Many
horses have been reported as having
died from this cause and some of them
after most intense suffering
Cow Peas for Silnjre
A veteran dairyman is John Tatter
son of Adair County Missouri former
President of the State Dairymens As
sociation Two years ago he decided to
grow cow peas for his dairy cattle
When the time came to harvest the
season was so wet that be saw no op
portunity to cure the peas for hay He
had often heard of the silo but had
never raised his faith to the point of in
vesting in one But with the chance of
a lost crop staring him in the face he
hurried to town bought enough lumber
and immediately built a large staTe
silo The 6ow peas were soon harvest
ed and put in the silo lie reports that
h never had cows to do so well before
He also mixed corn and cow pea silage
with very satisfactory results This
year he intends to build two more silos
and store away an immense acreage of
corn for winter feeding Mr Patterson
now thinks that every progressive
dairy farmer should by all means have
a silo
Destroyanjr Westls and Bushca
Xew Jersey has gone farther in it
war- against weeds and iusect pests
than any other State we have heard or
read of It has enacted a law that is
to become operative next September
that all owners of lands bordering upwri
piblie highways shall clear them of
weeds bushes and briars If they do
not do so there shall be a committee
appointed by the town to employ men
to do so and the cost shall be assessed
to the land owners This is a wise law
and the example might well be follow
ed by other States These hedgerows
of weeds and bushes either inside or
outside of the fence are of no use ex
cepting as a harbor for insects fungous
diseases and weeds to seed adjoining
land or to be transported along the
highway to fields where they are not
wanted This cleaning up may cost the
farmers some labor but theirs will be
the benefit in the end American Culti

Buckwheat
To grow buckwheat for the grain the
land should be made fine and fit for a
seed bed as for other small grains
Then apply 200 to 400 pounds per acre
of fertilizer rich in potash and phos
phoric acid and harrow it in well
This grain likes a dry or well drained
soil Sow the seed at almost any time
when convenient from July 1 to July
15 Therq slioiild be from twenty to
thirty bushels of grain to the acre
Tliis crop is not thought exhausting to
the soil and it leaves the laud in good
condition for sowing or planting next
spring In sowing buckwheat to plow
under sow earlier in June at least
and plow under while in bloom or just
before any seed ripened then follow
by sowiag winter grain
Renewing an AsparajrusEed
An old and run out or neglected a
paragus bed can be best improved after
tho season for cutting is over by put
ting on a liberal dressing of manure in
June or July and plowing it in not tak
ing much care to prevent breaking the
roots or to save seedling plants The
plants are apt to become root bound
and they will grow all the better for a
little breaking up of the matted roots
Keep the weeds out all the summer
and in early spring or even in Febru
ary if the ground is open put on from
GOO pounds to a half ton of good fertil
izer to the acre This will push it along
to make a good growth and it will be
better if it is not cut very freely that
spring or not at all after the first of
June
Poisonous Sutter Color
Arsenical butter coior must go It is
time some definite action were taken by
the pure food departments of every
pure food State or many of them will
be resting under the suspicicp that un
due influences have been brought to
bear to prevent hostile action There is
no longer any doubt about the highly
poisonous character of the deadly drug
now scattering death throughout the
country Not a week passes that either
well authenticated- cases or cases of
very suspicious character do not crop
up here and there and there can be
no excuse for State officials in States
where these fatalities abound to neg
lect their sworn duties Dairy World
Hen Is a Good Tliintr
Nothing will pay better for the mon
ey invested than chickens if they are
properly handled but to be profitable
much care must be exercised Because
the hens will give returns under ad
verse circumstances is the reason they
are neglected so much but the better
they are treated the better the returns
you will receive from them Bt the
difficult part of the thing is to make
average farmers believe it By keeping
constantly at them they may eventually
be taught what a good thing the hen
really is
Dairy Thermometers
A good dairy thermometer costs less
than lNaud tons of butter go into the
grease vats every year because thou
sands of farmers wives do not use a
thermometer in churning A noted dairy
instructor once told the writer that he
firmly believed that the average price of
all the butter sold in the United States
could be increased at least 2 cents per
pound in two years if the thermom
eter was used at every churning and
the cream churned at the proper tem
perature

OWNERS OF NATURAL BRIDGE
Thomas Jefferson Knew What He Was
AboutWhen He Boujrht ItCheap
The fact that the Natural Bridge tract
Is to be sold has opened thp way for
some writers to romance abouc it
It is stated that it was a part of the
inheritance of Thomas Jefferson but
that is not our information says the
Richmond Dispatch We have always
thought that Mr Jefferson patented the
land i e bought it from the crown
at about a shilling an acre
Mr Jefferson and George Washing
ton both were far seeing men and good
judges of land and tookup num
bers of valuable tracts Washington
particularly owing to his personal
knowledge of our Western Virginia
lauds was fortunate in his selection
Mr Jefferson acquired the bridge
tract in 1774 Of the bridge itself ho
wrote that it was worth a trip across
the ocean to see but for a long time its
inaccessibility caused it to be seldom
visited even by our own people The
construction of the old James Hiver
and Kanawha canal put it near a high
ly of travel Later railroad lines
me within a few miles of it and
now thousands visit it annually
Since Jeffersons time the bridge lias
had many owners At one period it be
longed to the Harman family Colonel
Henry Clay Parsons bought it about
1SS1 and formed a stock company to
run it His residence there led up
to his death at the hands of Conductor
Goodman at Clifton Forge on June
00 1S94 To what extent he or his
family held stock in the bridge com
pany at that time we are not informed
hut the amount held is supposed to
have been considerable
He Obeyed
well developed specimen of the vil
lage butler is an imposing personage
A story is told of one whose taste for
the impressive was too much for the
family whose service he had entered
He was a new comer and almost his
first duty was to announce the arrivals
at his employers first at home of the
sson The earliest guests to appear
were Mr and Mrs Penny and their
daughter and familiar friends of the
family The new butler announced
them in measured tones and with ma
jestic mien Mr Edwin Algernon
Pembroke Penny Mrs Edwin Alger
non Pembroke Penny and Miss Maud
Victoria Penny Other arrivals were
announced at equal length and with
equal solemnity Before the next at
home the master of the house suggest
ed that so much repetition and elabora
tion was unnecessary that he would
prefer to have his guests announced
more briefly The magnificent being
bowed grave assent and said nothing
But his feelings had been wounded
and he was unlike most of his kind
as clever as he was majestic As be
fore the first to arrive were Mr and
Mrs Penny and Miss Penny When
they had ascended the stairs they
paused an instant at the drawing
room door the next the butler flung
it abruptly open ami they heard them
selves briskly announced to their dis
mayed hosts in the comprehensive
formula Threepence

FORGET BUSINESS AT NIGHT
That Is the Only Way to Be Sure of Do
ins Your Ucst Work
Every busineas man of common
sense knows whether he chooses to ac
knowledge it or not that the farther
away ho gets in the evening from his
commercial associations during the
day so that his business associates or
thoughts of it or them cannot get at
him the healthier he is the wiser life
he leads in short the better off he is
in every respect and the abler for the
duties of the morrow writes Edward
Bok of The American Man and the
Country in the Ladies Home Journal
Now what does he get in the city in
the evening even if he lives a carefully
regulated life There is no mode of life
lie can possibly follow which is in any
way recuperative to his mental or phy
sical being He has never been out of
hearing of the noises of the city or out
of the range of its lights Every night
he has slept in the polluted air of the
city and in the morning has looked out
on the gray sidewalks which lie sees all
day long What dpes such a man know
of the exhilarating refreshing and
blood quickening experience of opening
the shutters of his chamber window
upon a landscape of space and sun
shine Ami what is far worse what do
his wife and children know of such a
blessing Yet he deludes himself into
the belief that he must live in the city
so as to be in touch with things If
you ask him what those things are
you invariably discover that the are
of a business nature either strictly
business or some social convention
which he feels has a bearing on his
business But it is always business
business business Now a man living
under this pressure rarely does his best
work although he fully believes that
be is doing it But he cannot be giving
out the best because he does not allow
the best to get within him
Hi Face Said Yes
It is related of Jefferson that while
riding in company with two young
men he came to av creek so swollen by
a shower that the water was up to the
saddlegirths
A man standing on the bank with a
saddle on his shoulders looked at the
young men as they rode into the stream
but said nothing As Mr Jefferson came
along the stranger asked if he could
not be allowed to mount behind and
thus be carried across
The President reined his horse up
to a stone the man mounted and when
across expressed his thanks and
walked away Several men who had
seen the novel ferry asked
What made you let the young men
pass and why did you ask the old gen
tleman
Wal if you want to know Ill tell
you I reckon a man carries Yes or
No in his face The young chaps
faces said No the oid uns Yes
It isnt every one said one of the
party who would have asked the
President of the United States for a
