Description of Two Simple Devices Which Will Do the Work Required of Them Quite Well, A reader requests a description of a bandy device for marking ground. If the inquirer has on hand an old iron frame walking cultivator, he may construct a two-row marker with- little trouble. Remove all the shovels but the rear one on each side; spread the frame to hold the two remaining teeth or shovels at the desired distance apart, bracing with a four by one-inch board of suitable length; wrap with wire where ends of brace touch framepieces to hold the board secure. In the jillustration, Fig. 1, is shown a twohorse marker of the kind that is most in favor with farmers in general, by reason of its simplicity and its adaptability to work on uneven ground. It is well explained in the cut itself and but little deseription is necessary. Use 2 or£l,-inch plank, eightinches wide, and anywhere from two to three feet in length for runners. Two two by four cross-pieces are spiked after mortising slightly, to middle runners, project-

fngsixinchesover the runners. Similar pieces are spiked to the outside runners and hinged to the projecting ends of the middle pair by running a long bolt or rod through, as illustrated. A wagon tongue is fitted between a pair of three by four-inch pieces Dbolted lengthwise on top of cross-pieces of middle runners, and well braced. The runners may be braced by iron strips as is shown on the twooutside runners in the illustration, or in any other manner deemed advisable. A seat may be easily fitted on, if required, and a gage pole hinged to one of the cross pieces of middle runners, so as to extend to either side of marker and hold a drag chain or wooden tooth. When turning, lift side runners up on top of middle pair. An adjustable marker is shown in Fig. 2. This may be used to mark rows of from six inches to four feet distance apart. Use four two by two or two by three-inch pieces of wellseasoned oak about eight feet and

eight inches long, and five pieces of two by four-inch stuff, say 12 inches long. Lay the long pieces down in pairs and bolt permanently three of the two by four-inch pieces between them, one at each end and one directly fn middle. The other two two by four’s are left movable between the long pieces. Set a share from an old shovel plow or the like in the center piece and in the movable pieces. Holes being bored in the frame, the movable shovel holders may be set at point desired and held by one-eighth-inch bolts. Fit in shafts and attach old plow handles, as illustrated. This will mark three rows at a time, and two of the markers being movable, the rows may be spaced to suit the demand. : No exact rules need be adhered to in making either of the markers described, and the constructer may adapt them to suit his particular requirements, and use the material that is- most convenient.—J. G. Allshouse, in Ohio Farmer. HELPFUL HORSE HINTS. Heating and constipative foods are bad for colts and for brood mares. Horses and colts do well on carrots and other roots as a part of their rations: - Iron mangers for.grain are preferable to others, as they are easily kept sweet and clean. ' ‘ The colt’s future strength depends upon his development during the first two years of his life. The brood mare should have regular exercise, but it should never be carried to the point of fatigue. : If a horse is inclined to stock up in 8 tie stall, he should have the freedom of a box stall. Try it. The high-spir-fted, nervous horse will always do better in a box stall. : The Money Value of Blood, If any man doubts the value of blood he can learn a few valuable lessons by a trip-to a market where stockers and feeders are hahdled. There he will see well-bred steers commanding a premium over others of equal growth and weight that will open his eyes. There are a good many stockers and feeders handled every spring at our great markets, but never too many of the right kind appear for sale. When extra bred ones come in they are gobbled up at a good figure regardless of the condition of the trade for other kinds.—National Stockman. Network of Gravel Roads. " In some sections of Ohio all the principal towns are connected with gravel roads, which also radiate from the towns into the country. In Fulton county, five to ten miles of these marrow roads are built annually. A mnarrow, well-rounded roadbed is first ‘prepared and deep drains opened up ~on each side. The road is frequently graded with a scraper the first year, ‘These roads last from five to eight Jears, when they must be regraveled.

A STRONG HAY RACK. When Properly Made, Painted and Kept Pry When Not in Use, It . Will Last a Lifetime, In making a hay rack I would by all means use a low wagon; no other wagon is-as handy for hauling hay or grain. Use strong pine and have it smoothed. As shown herewith, the sills (a) should be 18 feet by 2x7 inches. The four cross pieces (c) are 61, feet by 2x5 inches. These can be made lighter by cutting down to 3 inches from =sills to end. The small piece (c¢) explains how this is done. Cross pieces (c) are all placeu on top of sills (a). Dropping cross pieces (¢). one-half inch in sills (a), as shown, will make the rack more durable and secure. Four bolts, one-half by 12 inches, for end cross pieces, and four bolts, one-half by 14 inches, for the two centerpieces, will be required. These 14-inch boits will be long enough to fasten two strips of

boards underneath sills to rest bottom boards on. Two boards (b), one on each side, the whole length of the rack, Ixlo inches, are placed on top of cross pieces. It will require 16 5x84-inch bolts to fasten boards. Put these bolts down from top of boards so as to have the surface smooth. Do not put pins in top of boards; they are dangerous. Many farmers hase been severely injured by protruding pins. Make the back (e) 6 inches narrower than front of bolster. This will be an advantage in turning. Bore 2inch holes about 6 inches from each end of sills and insert uprights before putting rack together. This should fold down nicely when necessary. These uprights may be wired to cross pieces, for if not folded down they may cause trouble. For going to the field holes may be made in single upright (f) with a pin to sécure boom pole. Take a scantling 4x5 inches for bolster and secure it to rack about 2 feet from front end of the sills (g) with one-half by 12:inch bolts. The 2x4-inch scantling placed on the bolster behind this rack on a low wagon will not inteffere ~with wheels. Use washers on all bolts; I had my blacksmith drill five-eighth-inch holes through strips of iron 10 inches long to put bolts through boards on, cross pieces. This will keep boards down nicely. This raek, properly made, will last a lifetime. Do not forget to paint it and keep dry when not in use.—Abram Stull, in Farm and Home. _ :

THE NATIONAL GRANGE. Condensed History of the Most Famous Organization of Farmers Ever Formed in America, ‘ The grange is the oldest of the general organizations for farmers. Though the motion of organizing the farmers was undoubtedly broached in the early history of the country, the germ idea that actually grew into the grange is about a third of a century old, and should be credited to O. H. Kelleyy, a Boston young man who settled on a Minnesota farm in 1849. He wrote considerably for the agricultural press, and this experience helped to bring him to the conclusion that the great need of agriculture was the education of the agriculturalist. He soon came ito feel that existing agencies for this purpose—farm papers and fairs—were insufficient. As agent for the department of agriculture in 1866, Mr. Kelley made a tour of the south with a view to gaining a knowledge of the agricultural and mineral resources of that section.. On his tour he became impresesd with the fact that the politicians would never restore peace to the country; if “it comes at all, it must come through fratermity.” As his thought ripened, he broached to his friends the idea of a “secret society of agriculturalists, as an element to restore kindly feelings among the people.” Thus was begun a movement for organization that had resulted, by 1873, in the formation of 20,000 granges in 28 states, comprising not less than 750,000 members; and in that year the national grange, as a representative body, was officially organized. For four or five years this unexampled prosperity continued; then the reports show a feeling of weakness creeping in. In fact, the order as a whole steadily declined in numbers and prestige during the whole of the decade following 1880, the losses being most serious in the south and west. But in New England and the middle states it retained its vitality, and, indeed, grew steadily. During the last ten years there has been a widespread revival of interest in the organization, and the outlook is exceedingly promising. Sihce 1890 the membership has increased not less than 75 per cent. New York at present has 550 subordinate granges, with 43,000 members; Pennsylvania, 526 granges and 20,000 members; Maine, 275 granges, with 29,000 members; New Hampshire, 260 granges and 24,000 members; Michigan, 420 granges and nearly 25,000 members. These states lead, but the order is also active and strong in Vermont, Connecticut, Ohio and Massachusetts. Thirty states pay dues to the national grange treasury, and 24 were represented by delegates to the last national grange.—Forum. . How ito Prevent Swarming, It is very nice to have swarms of bees if we have use for them, but it is too expensive a thing to have just for the fun of it. If you want the best‘returns in honey and no increase in bees, do not allow them to swarm, The first preventive is to give them plenty of room to stéere surplus honey. This will check many swarms. If they persist in swarming, take out all their queen cells as fast as they ‘build them preparatory to swarming, 1f they still persist in swarming, take away their queen, and this will settle it for the present. But in most cases it is best to let these persistent swarmers swarm and then hive them in new quarters. Farmers’ Voice.

Changes In Revenue Law ' Thé | Reduiec: ‘2’?; Ta::,ref a}s They Go

- Beginning with July 1 certain changes in the war revenue bill will go into effeet. The original measure, it will be remembered, was enacted by congress June 13, 1898, just after the breaking out of the Spanish-Ameri-can war. Just prior to adjournment the last congress made certain amendments to this act. Perhaps the changes that will be most noticed by the general public will bel the removal of the tax on bank checks and drafts, sight drafts, money orders, leases, mortgages or conveyances in trust, promissory notes and telegraph messages. The tax on bankers of $5O for $£25,000 and $2 for each additional $l,OOO is to be retaimed. So also is the tax on stoeck brokers of 50, on pawnbrokers of $2O, on commercial brokers of $2O and on custom'house brokers o 1 $lO. Proprietors of theaters and like places of amusement and proprietors of circuses are still to be taxed $lOO. The tax of $lO on aill other exhibitions is also retained. The new law made no change in the tax of §5 levied on each bowung alley or billiard table. Tobacco and snuff come in for a discount of 20 per cent. on the old tax. There is a distinction drawn in the case of cigarettes. 'l'he tax on those of a certain grade and weight is retained; on others the tax is rc:duced. Dealers in tobacco and leaf tobacco, and manufacturers of tobacco and of cigars, will be taxed according to the rate now prevailing. On bonds, debentures, etc., and on certificates of stock of original issue the tax of 5 cents per $lOO is to be retained. In the provision taxing transfers of stock 2 cents per $lOO, the same tax is extended to bucket shops. The tax on sales of products at exchanges is cut in half. In the case of sales of merchandise in actual course of transportation the tax is entirely removed. The tax on all forms of insurance is repealed. Proprietary medicines, perfumery and cosmetics and chewing gum are all to be exempted from taxation. Petroleum gnd sugar refineries are still to pay one-fourth per cent. of their gross receipts in excess of $250,000. ‘Each sleeping and parlor car ticket will continue to pay 1 cent to the government. Legacies of charitable institutions, religious, literary or educational in character, will not be taxed after July 1. TABULAR SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN WAR REVENUES.

Stingy Clergymen, Once in a great while a youth is found with a morbid desire to hoard. Personally we have known but few such, but in them the habit grew until they , became mnotorious for meanness, says a writer in the Christian Advocate. A story is told of a celebrated bishop, who grew so mean that one day when he cut his finger with a penknife and mno court-plaster could be found, a clergyman standing by brought out his card case and took from it a fivecent stamp and gave it to the bishop to use to stop the flow of blood. The bishop accepted it gratefully, placed the five-cent stamp in his own cardecase, and then took out a one-cent stamp and pasted it over the still bleeding wound. This seems almost too much to believe. But a celebrated minister in New England was offered a hat by a hatter who was a friend of his, and who admired him in most respects. He asked him if he had another kind. ‘“Yes,” he said, “though not quite so good as that.” He said he would like to see one, and asked what the price of the first one was, and was told five dollars, and of the second three dollars. “Well,” said he, ‘““as you offered me the first one if I"should take the second, would you give me the difference. in money?” A young person should not be a spendthrift, neither should he be stingy. .. The Subtle American Joke. “Did youyever hear the joke about the guide in Rome who showed some travelers two skulls of St. Paul, one as a boy and the other as a man?” asked an American of a German friend, who claimed that he had acquired the real New England sense of humor. “No,” said the German, beaming in anticipation of a good story. “Tell it me at once, mein friend, dat joke.”—Youth’s Companion. ; : : Free Medical Held, In England 972,000 people a year receive frée medical attendance, compared with only 230,000 in France, and the cost of these French invalids is only £ 58,000, compared with £150,000 spent in medical

Silence Is Golden. Though very fond of stories, and an excellent raconteur himself, Rubinstein was rather taciturn. Once, it is reported, a 4 Scotch friend of his, whom he liked very much, went home with him one night after a ¢oncert at Glasgow. Both gentlemen sat down to tea and cigarettes, and. as midnight struck they had not. yet exchanged a word. Finally the guest risked a bold and movel query: “Do you like Beethoven?” Rubinstein emptied his cup and said, softly: “Beethoven good.” Half an hour later came another question: “And how do you like Wagner?” x To which Rubinstein, throwing away a cigarette, said: “Wagner—not good.” : : o Having exhausted his stock of inquisitiveness, the Scotch friend of the Russian pianist got up to bid his host a pleasant rest. : “Stay yet, my friend,” said Rubinstein; ‘I like yeur conversation very much.” - And both remained still drinking tea and smoking cigarettes in profound silence until three a. m. struck, when they wished one another good night and parted.—London Tit-Bits. ?

Mother and Queen, ; Queen Victoria always made it a point to keep the religious instruetion of her children as much as possible ,in her own hands. Once when the archdeacon of London was catechizing the young princes, he said: “Your governess deserves great credit for instructing you so thoroughly.” ) At which the youngsters piped up: “It is mamma who teaches us our catechism!” ) It is not perhaps generally known that the queen occasionally taught a Bible class for the children of those in attendanee at Windsor palace.— London Beacon. .

A GLORIOUS SIGHT. : Fields of Wheat in Which the Stocks Were So Thick It Was Impossible to Drive Between Them, 'To the Editor: ol A gentleman from Duluth made a trip through a portion of Western Carada last summer, and writing of what he saw, says: “Wheat, for instance, will average twenty-five or thirty bushels to the acre. I saw shocks so thick in the field that it would be almost impossible to drive between them. Winters, it is said, are longer than near Duluth, but the Japan current, warm chinook winds and dry atmosphere make the winters comparatively mild.” J . Thousands of such testimonies are to be had from ' settlers who have taken -advantage of the low-priced lands of Western Canada. During the present year nmew districts will be opened up in the Saskatchewan Valley, and advantage should be taken of this at once.

Clem G. Moore, Editor of the Advocate-Democrat of Crawfordsville, Ga., writes the Peruna Medicine Company as follows: Gentlemen—:«¢ After four years of intense suffering, caused by systemic catarrh, which I contracted while editing, and traveling for my paper, I have been greatly relieved by the use of Peruna. Igave up work during these years of torture, tried various remedies and many doctors, but all the permanent relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion, but it was catarrh all through my system, and a few bottles of Peruna made me feef like another person, noting the improvement after I had used the first bottle. Peruna is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded.—Clem G. Moore. s

Captain Percy W. Moss, Paragould, Ark., says: “I think Peruna is undoubtedly the finest and surest catarrh cure ever prepared, and it has taken but two bottles to convince me of this fact.” Judge Wm.
