Bioyulos Superior to Horses
Tho leat of i IJalthnoro bicyclipr
who rode 170 miles in twelve hour
and U l miles in twenty four hours
stems to sliow that the new motor is
superior to the horse in more ways
than one It is not only insensible to
atitie but it is superior in points of
both speed and endurance Probnbiy
the best record ever made by a horse
was that of the animal ridden bj
Count Strahrenberg in October 1J
which covered the distance from Vien
na to Berlin 400 miles in seventy one
hours and thirty four minutes This
was far inferior to the o4 miles mada
by the human muscle with the aid of
the wheel in twenty four hours The
horse can go where the bicycle cannot
but riven jrood roads he stands no
chance with it in a race against either
time or distance Philadelphia Ledger

Love of pretty belongings is natural to
every woman From the classic robes of
Aspasia to the rich dresses of Elizabeth
thence to the wedding gown of Puritan
Priscilla we see the attractiveness of
dress While any woman of taste can
supply herself with becoming gowns it
is not every one who understands keep
ing them in good order this is especially
true of summer gowns so easy to soii
and so expensive to laundry therefore

TYPEWRITERS EXERCISER
Device Intended to Prevent Paralysis
of the Finjjers
Typewriters everywhere be they
pretty or otherwise of course none are
otherwise will be gratified at learning
that they need no longer suffer from
that bothersome complaint known as
typewriters cramp Robert Barclay
nn inventor residing in the quaint old
city of Green Bay Wis has contrived
a simple little machine which when
used by the typewriter counteracts the
effect of the work on the machine and
o prevents that form of paralysis of
which cramped fingers and a numbness
of the hands are the first invariable
symptoms
Many a pretty typewriter otherwise
a perfect type of womanhood bemoans
the fact that her daily work over the
THK EXERCISER
keyboard of the machine has apparently
ruined the shape of her fingers and
given to what was originally a long
slender well formed hand an unnat
ural thickness and blunted the lingers
besides ruining the nails
The practical value of Mr Barclays
invention having been demonstrated
the wonder is it was not thought of be
fore In appearance this exerciser
as the inventor calls it resembles a
small oval shaped rubber bulb which
just iits into the hand A short rubber
tube extends from one end of the bulb
to a rubber band which is fastened
about the wrist This baud is double
and the outer band is punctured with
numerous small holes which allow thq
air within the bulb to escape when the
hand is closed When the hand is
opened the air is withdrawn iuto the
bulb and the exercise consists in open
ing and closing the fingers of the hand
the muscular action required to force
theair from the bulb giving the neces
sary exercise
Intelligent Fox Terrier
Maggie is an intelligent fox terriei
belonging to Mr McKeover a liver
stable proprietor who prefers the odor
of the kitchen of the Gait Ilouse U
the companionship of horses In this
way she has become acquainted will
all the guests of the hotel and has
made many friends Maggie there
fore had many sympathizers when
about a week ago she took ill and it
was noticed that a tumor was forming
on her breast As the pain caused by
the growth became greater from day
to day and its dimensions larger her
appeals for help were almost human in
intelligence She would look appeal
ingly into the faces of some of her
friends at the hotel who had befriend
ed her in the past whine and stand
on her hind legs as if to display the
cause of her trouble Many attempts
were made to help her but nil proved
unavailing Last Thursday the pain
must have been excruciating for Mag
gie was heard to give a yelp at the
moment she sank her teeth into the
protuberance The result was that it
was as effectively lanced as if it had
been done by a surgeon The pus dis
charged leaving a largo cavity and
with it came a great deal of blood The
prognosis was that Maggie would sure
ly die but she proved a better surgeon
than she was rated She bathed the
wound with her saliva and yesterday
was frisking around as lively as ever

A Fnnimer IMilkhouHo
In the summer time a milkhouse
built like the one in the illustration is
very convenient It is adapted to sit
uations where there is no natural
spring but where the water must be
pumped around the milk A man who
has tried a small house of this kind
says of the one he built It is feet
square and feet high at the eaves
which is large enough for the milk of
two or three cows The house is built
under a large grajie arbor about UK
feet from my kitchen pump The milk
tank which is Hi inches deep and 1 i
inches wide at the top extends along
the north side h has tt screen cover
which may be covered with cloth in
very hot or dusty weather A table
with a shelf underneath occupies the
southeast corner A space just above
the level of the tank 2 feet wide and
extending on all sides of the house is
covered with wire screen Shelves
above the screen and below the tank
give sufficient room for milk and butter
dishes The milk is set in pails A gal
vanized iron pipe leads from a small
tank at the side of the pump down IS
inches below the surface of the ground
across the 20 foot space and up again
to the level of the milk tank An over
llow pipe at the other end of the tank
carries off the water after it has reach
ed the proper height in the tank An
other pipe at the bottom of the tank
is used for emptying it when desired
Handling a Bulky Iodler Crop
In cutting ensilage or fodder a lit
tle work transferred from hand to
horse power often goes a great way
to lessen expense In the illustration
which is taken from Farm and Home
a simple method is shown of unloading
fodder or hay Two ropes about
feet long depending on the length of
the rack and height of load to be
drawn are used one end of each being
fastened to the hind axle of the wagon
They are then passed back and over
the top of the rack between the two
outer boards on either side While
loading the ropes may be brought
back under the outside of the rack and
fastened almost any place on the rear
part When the load is completed the
ropes are drawn over the fodder and
tied to the back of the rack acting In
UIOAIIvn FODDER MADE EASY
the capacity of a binding pole To un
load fasten the ropes to a beam and
with the team draw the wagon slowly
out from under the load The first few
times may not always prove success
ful but with a little practice the wagon
may be unloaded in a few minutes
Straitrliten the ftreaw
It does not matter much how crook
fd the little stream may be that mean
ders through pasture lands Rut if the
field is to be cut for hay or espeeially
if it is desired to use the land for plow
ing it is important to have the brook
straightened so as to take as little
room as possible In man- places a
straight deep ditch cut to lead oft a
stream that only runs in the spring
may be profitably turned into an under
drain A space a foot square each way
with an even fall will carry off an im
mense amount of water If large fiat
stones can be got for covering and
heavy stone for siding such a drain is
not expensive The convenience of
plowing over it and the land saved Avill
make it pay
Priininsr Is Important
The iit giect of pruning for a single
year is never less than a serious injur
to an fruit tree Without proper
a ice dozens of shoots will spring out
tt d grow to the injur of the tree no
only for that season but for a consid
erable time after Thumbnail prun
ing is always the best because it leaves
no wound that will not cover itself the
same season Ever observer can see
that this is true but man orchards
show a neglect to appl the truth
Profit in Bran Foedintr
Ever time a farmer buys bran for
feeding his stock he also buys fertiliz
ers Bran and cotton seed meal are
rich in all tlie elements required in the
soil and the cost is repaid by the in-
in weigh of the animals Tf the
farmer can make the gain from the
animals pa for the feed there will be
a fair profit left in the manure lieap
Put this profit is valuable according
to the manner in which the fertilizing
elements are preserved while in the
heap It i in the management of the
manure that the profit is retained and
future crops increased
How Plant- Get Water
Tin- fnet thai in wet weather the soil
drie slowl even when covered with
planK that ordinarily drain the soil
rapid leads some to think that when
wet the leaves absorb moisture on
t hem Im the fact can be equally well
accounted for by the knowledge that
water on the leaves prevents them
from evaporating the moisture brought
from the soil b roofs This soil con
tains some mineral elements vhich
unite with carbonic acid gas from the
air in forming plant tissue While the
leaves are wet the cannot absorb car
bonic icid gas This with the effect
of stopping evaporation makes the
sapy growth which man- jumping too
quickly at conclusions think must be
caused by the direct absorption of wa
ter through the leaves
Injury from Over Pruning
Most of our American varieties of
grapes are ver strong growers and
will not bear the severe pruning to
which German and French vineyard
ists subject their vines We plant our
vines farther apart than do European
vintners and must leave proportion
ally more wood As the vines grow
older if is generally found necessary
to take out alternate vines so as to let
each vine occup twice the trellis space
originally allotted to it Vines thus
treated are much less liable to mildew
At the same time some root pruning
is advisable b cultivating more deep
1 and keeping the roots of the vines
where the will be less affected b
sudden changes of temperature I hat
usual- precede attacks of mildew and
grape rot

Fancy Farmer
Fane farmers or the owners of
fancy stock are frequent 1 ridiculed
but it is km to their willingness to im
prove stock and their persistency in nd
heiing to ffieir belief in something bet
ter than scrubs that the farmer is bene
fited The man of capital goes on with
his improvement of stock and ma suf
fer loss at first but after a while lul
begins to make profits the farmers be
ing lifted up with him as the farm on
which improved breeds are specialties
becomes a fountain source from which
superior animals are distributed in alj
directions
Farm Notes
In all breeding defective points are
more of reproduction than desir
able products
One great help in killing out weeds
is not to allow an to mature seeds
Look after this now
The triple income from a dock of
sheep wool lambs and mutton come
in at different seasons
S steni in feeding and breeding to
and for correct standard is essential
in the management of all stock
Allowing weeds to grow is robbing
the soil of needed plant food and moist
ure Keep the weeds down
A hog is not necessarily a filthv ani
mal and if he is to make meat for food
it is essential that he should be clean
raised
Keep the pigs growing during
the summer while on good pasturage
and it will be much easier to fatten
them in the fall
When wheat is to follow corn it will
lessen the work of seeding ver ma
terial if the cultivation of the corn
has been clean ami thorough
Cut wheat when the grain begins to
harden well and shock up as fast as
cut Wheat requires but little curing
and should be stacked soon after cut
ting
The sprouts which grow up around
the base of a treeJrom the roots should
be cut out as fast as the appear as
they appropriate plant food that should
nourish the tree The are also tin
sightl and destro the appearance of
nn orchard
Growers who raise cucumbers for
market say the first crop from a par
ticular field is better than any subse
quent one The soil becomes filled
with enemies of the crop and a change
Is necessary Some growers find it ad
visable to take new soil ever- year
hardest of All Tlcscrvoirp
Lieutenant Crittenden the govern
ment engineer detailed to choose sites
for the proposed government reservoir
in Colorado and Wyoming has inspect
ed and selected the great natural basin
lying near Laramie Wyo as the Wyo
ming site This great basin lies in tie
heart of the Rocky Mountains and is
ten miles long b two miles wide Its
maximum depth is biu feet and the
government engineers es timate ibat ir
will hold JOdlHiUUOdOO cubic feet of
water The walls of the basin are pr
fect without a break The bottom is of
reck and is impervious to water Th
Big and Little Laramie rivers will In
tapped and it will take between five
and six years to fill the basin
Enough water can be stored to keep
the entire eastern part of Wyoming
and Western Nebraska supplied with
water during dry seasons The water
will be collected in winter and used to
flood the Laramie and Platte rivers in
summer Government engineers have
been ordered to survey the basin and
Jraw up plans for the feeding ditches

Pertinent Question
Why Will a Woman Throw Away Her Good

Why will a woman drag out
sickly half hearted existence
and miss three quarters of the
joy of living when she has
health almost within her grasp
If site does not value her good
looks does she not value her
comfort
Win my sister v ill you suf
fer that dull pain in the smallof

dragging sensations in the loins
that terrible fullness in the lower
bowel caused constipation pro
ceeding from the womb Iving over and
pressing on the rectum Do jou know
that these are signs of displacement and
that you will never be well while that
lasts
What a woman needs who is thus af
fected is to strengthen the ligaments sq
they will keep her organs in place There
Is nothing better for thS purpose than Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound The great volume of testimony which is constantly rolling in proves
that the Compound is constantly curing thousands of just such cases
The following letter from Mrs Marlow is only one of man thousands which
Mrs Pinkham has received this year from those she has relieved surely such
testimony is convincing
My trouble commenced after the birth of my last child I diu not
know what was the matter with me My husband went to our family physi
cian and described m smptoms and he said I had displacement and falling
of the womb He sent me some medicine but it did little good I let it go
on about two ears and every time I did any hard work my womb would
come down Finally a lad friend advised me to try Lydia E Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound which I did The first bottle helped me so much I con
tinued to take it right along My back was almost the same as no back I
could not lift scarcely any weight My life was just a drag to me To day
I am well of in womb trouble and have a good strong back thanks to
