Water running into the bucket fills it, and its weight carries it down, lifting the weighted end. When it strikes the ground, the valve is forced up, letting the water out. Relieved of its weight, the bucket rises, only to fill and descend again, . The valve in the cut shows the loose plug with a head that completes the bucket valve. It has a pin, or spike, through its lower end, so it cannot rise too high and float away. It is held down by water -until forced up from below. This little power is quickly constructed and is quite effective for light uses.— Farm Journal. ROADS FOR MIDDLE WEST. X 4 — Principle of National Aid Has Many "Friends in Illinocis and Neigh- - boring States.

In many parts of the middle west there is as great need of road improvement as anywhere else in the world, and it is no wonder that the people of this section have gone into the good roads movement with enthusiasm.

» A state good roads convention has just been held at Springfield, Ill;, and, although it is the busy season with the ’farmers, there was an attendance of about 200 delegates besides many visitors. Senator Latimer, of South Carolina, was the principal speaker, and he delivered an able and eloquent address. Naturally he devoted considerable attention to the principle of national aid as embedied in the bills introquced into congress by himself and Col. Brownlow, of Tennessee. The senator is strongly of the opinion that the government should: contribute some of‘its surplus revenues to aid the statesvin building good roads, and he has many c‘oge&t reasons to offer in support of that proposition. At the close of his address, Senator Latimer asked all present .who ‘agreed with 'him to stand up, and all but three or four sprang to their feet. There ‘Was some opposition, however, led by’ Prof. Baker, of the State university, and a protracted discussion followed in which the professor came off decidedly second best. .

One of the great obstacles.to road improvement in some parts of the Mississippi valley is the scarcity of material for building roads. In large pertions of Illinois, lowa, Arkansas and several other states, there is neither stone nor gravel. All the material used in surfacing hard roads has to be shipped in which adds considerably to the expense. But the bottomless mud roads of these sections are“such a burden that people are willing to tax themselves heavily to secure relief. If the national aid plan should be adopted, the next few years will see an enormous improvement in the roads of the middle west. ‘Where there is good local material considerable progress has already been made. In Missouri there are hundreds of miles of fine hard roads. The same may be said of Minnesota. In some localities excellent roads have been built of #ining slag. Gravel is employed where available, and in southern Illinois deposits of novaculite are drawn upon and some very fine roads have been constructed from this material. On the whole, however, it must be said that only a beginning has been made, and the agricultural industries of this section are greatly hampered by the expense and difficuity of gefting farm products to market. s

Grain for Cows on Pasture.

It will pay to feed some grain to the cows on pasture unless. conditions are exceptional. "The amount fed in. the winter should be cut in half in -the summer, except in the dryest months, when the grain ration may be temporarily increased. Some of the best dairymen in the country are doing this, though they are not.getting their money back for it in the summer time. But their cows !go into winter with more vigor -and are healthier as a rule for the good summer treatment they have received. - It is simply one way of investing money for the future. Its results are not seen so much in the milk pail as experienced in various 'ways in the thrift of the calf that is born .later and in the ability of the mother to make the most of the food that is given her in the winter.—Farmers’ Record. g

When and How to Spray.

No farm work pays better than spray'ing the trees, berry bushes and grape vines. Attention to this matter at the proper time assures immunity from in“sect enemies and good crops of perfect fruit are the results. Don’t spray fruit trees while the bloom is on, for that kills .bees, and bees are valuable assistants in pollenizing fruits. Spray trees for the first time immediately after the blossoms have dropped their petals. A spraying outfit for the farm need not be large and costly, and will save its own value the first year it is used.—Rural World. : s :

GOOD CARE IS IMPORTANT. Poor Cows Frequently Are Improved by Comfortable Quarters and Suitable Rations. ‘ Mutch is being said in all the dairy papers on the dual purpose cow and much does depend upon the breed; but does nat a very great deal depend upon the care the.cow receives and upon the milkman? asks a “milk maid” inthe Epitomis% This is a very pointed query and may be answered very emphatically in the affirmative. Some farmers think that tho care expended upon the milk cow is jus® so much time lost, and that she can be fed on just anything, and if she then gives small quantities of milk, that thers is nc use wasting good feed upon her. This is a very grave mistake, as a poct milk cow is often improved by comfortable quarters and good feed-and the besof dairy cows neglected will give versg little milk. Good feed and care not only cause an increased fiow of milk, but & richer product. T have seen milk from neglected cows that instead of haviny a thick, rich cream on top, had only & thin’'whitish covering of cream, and foe the dairy was not worth attending to. A milk cow should. never he condemned until given a trial by at leasf two milkers. as often the trouble is moi with the milker than with the cow. Ont cow that has been milltéd regularly fof weeks by one milker gave one quarst of milk when calf was large enough te wean, when by accident a change of milkers proved:her an excellent!dairy. cow? and that the calf had been given an unnecessary amount of milk night and morning, simply because the milkman did not care to attend to his work. Warm comfortable quarters are very important and if a cow is compelled to warder around in mud knee' deep in winter it is more than likely that she will not give enough milk to pay for the milking. It will not pay to keep your own cows and buy your butter half the time. There is more waste here than on most anything else on the farm. A tendollar calf runs off with $2O worth of, cream and milk, while the family do without cream, milk and butter. WASTE IN DAIRY FARMING.

No Other Branch of Agricultural Industry Shows So Much Loss in ‘ Labor and Money. -

The keynote to profitable dairy farming is to be found in a cloge study and mastery of economic effort of Jabor. We Go not believe there is a business on earth where there is as much waste of labor, time- and money as is found on the average dairy farm of the country. ° There is the waste of poor cows, the waste of unscientific feeding, ‘pouring costly food unsuited to the purpose of economic milk production into the cows, and waste of unhealthy food and disease breeding stables, the waste of poor methods of soil culture and its consequent- waste of fertility, the waste of poor care of young animals in the first vear of their lives, whereby they are not worth half as much in the market, and finally the great waste of brain and ta‘hought, or rather the waste that comes from a lack of brain and thought. Such a host of men there are who prefer to be ignorant of what it means to be a good economical farmer, who are contented as can be in having no hunger. or thirst fci)r the knowledge that shall build them up and make first-class men and farmers of them.

From one end to the other of it, successful dairy farming calls for a.man who has so much pride in the mastery of his -business, in his possession of important ideas -and methods, as have the best professional men in the country., Such a dairy farmer will be ashamed to be found ignorant, or have his sons ignorant, of what science is doing for him. Such men are the ones who show the largest profits and who win, besides, honor and fame among men.—Hoard’s Dairyman.

CRATE FOR MOVING STOCK.

Saves Lots of Time on Farms Where a Number of Hogs and Calves Are Kept.

I find that in moving such stock as hogs, sheep and calves, much time is saved by having a crate on wheels such as is shown in cut. The crate is mounted on wheels to permit ifs being used like a wheelbarrow. The animals are // \" Lacioa—Tl | A= | Il e ’ gy = U I~ . o i WHEELED MOVING CRATE, .driven in at door shown, the door closed and the crate wheeled away. Any old wheels rriay be used; such as cultivator wheels, or even old buggy wheels. If these are not to be had, wheels may be readily sawed out of one-half or one-inch boards placed together the cross way of grain to prevent splitting.—Ralston M. Westinghouse, in Farm and Home. Ga Fresh Meat in Africa; A recent traveler in South Africa says that many kinds of meat are' eaten there which no one in this country would think of eating, some of which are very palatable, even to a fastidious Anglo-Saxon taste. Among thosa which he considers especially delicious he mentions the giraffe, the eland, the zebra and the ‘guinea fowl. He also found baked elephant’s trunk, baked young elephant’s foot en‘d hippopotamus calf bacon excellent eating. Amonz the African dishes which do not appeal to an American’s taste may be mentioned lions, ostriches, alligators and snakes: : - Why Spraying Is Advisable. Without doubt it will pay every man to spray his trees, whether he thinks there is any need for it or not. The only sure way to prevent a thing is to take preventive measures before the thing to be prevented can occur. It must be remembered that, so far as fungous diseases are congerned, sp;ﬁﬁqg is only preventive and not recuperative. All the spraying in the world will not restore a foliage after it has been attacked by some variety of fungi. At most it can only prevent further inquiry by the same agency.—Farmers’ Review,

Crazy Flicker Addicted to Drilling Into Iron Pipes and Similar : Strange Things. Mr. Burroughs somewhere has said that if the flicker ever goes craZy he will go crazy boring holes. Now I never doubt anything Mr. Burroughs says about birds and beasts, and so for a good many years I have confidently. . expected that if ever I found a crazy flicker I should find him, as Mr. Burroughs predicted, boring hcles. Of course I never expected to find a real crazy flicker, thoygh I have long been convinced thaf the whole flicker family is queer and, indeed, somewhat crack-brained. L But I have found one—a real crazy, insane flicker; and he was boring holes —boring holes in tin rain pipes, for he seemed to have been possessed. He appeared last spring in Newton, 2 beautiful suburb of Boston. It was in the springtime, and Highhele (Highhole is one of his six common New England names), inheriting a delicately balanced mind, was drilling.into the rain pipe. Doubtless he thought he was preparing a place for a bride. Now the average young flicker bride is about as ‘“‘spoony” and as ready for “love in a.cottage” as any bride; but I have yet to see one who would g 0 1o the length of a rain pipe. | No; the young flicker was mad, insane. He arrived in April, and an‘nounced himself by beating a thunderous tattoo on a galvanized-iron chimney. The persons in the rooms below jumped as if the roof were falie S IV ,),@g,g ; o s BO o R L SO BA R L el ) e g g | ; *aq“%”‘w‘wg,y g Hn R . DRILLED INTO A RAIN PIPE, ing. The passers-by ? the .street stopped and gazed around in wonder. There was nothing to be seen. Again the rattling, ringing roll, 'and, up out of the chimney popped :Highhole, in an ecstasy over his new drum. ¢ Then across the way' on the top of another house he spied another, biggé’_-,i‘" drum, and flew over there. It was af big ventilator. He struck it. To his apparent delight it boomed; and catching his toes around ad iron hoop that encircled it he beat out a roll that'a drummer boy might hé.vje envied. . The mystery is that his bill did not fly into splinters. - ‘But it didn’t. 'The sound, however, seem’éqvto go to his head, and he got crazier and crazier over the galvanized iron until he discovered the rain pipe. . ; Up to this time the neighbors had looked upon him as a youthful and devoted lover, who could not express half of his feeling upon an ordinary rotten stub, and so. had taken to the sounding hollow chimneys. They had been amused. But suddenly all that changed. They woke up to the fact that the bird was a raving maniac, for ‘what did they see one morning but the flicker, high up under the corner of a roof, clutching a small iron bracket inthe side of the house and ‘diligently trying to drill a hole through the hard metal rain pipe. St He was hammering like a\tinsmith, and already had cut an opening half as big as one’s fist when discovered. He had not tried to drill before; he had been happy with the mere sound. But something either!in the size or shape or ring of the pipe suggested | “nest” to his wild wits and right through the pipe he had gone. © ' He was scared off finally, but not until he had let himself in and had had a look down through the strange bottomless pit that he had opened.—Dallas Love Sharp, in St. Nicholas.

CATCHING A LOUP-CERVIER.

Two Children Have Thrilling Experience in a Farm House in L - Quebec, Canada. .

A trip to Quebec had taken the parents of Holcom Parett and his sister Manice, aged respectively 13 and 15 years, away from home, and the children were left alone in the farmhouse during several days of bitter winter weather.

One very cold ‘winter morning Mane ice, locking out of the window, saw an animal digging in the drift near the core ner of the barn: ‘‘Oh, come and see this queer-looking dog!” she cried. He is digging up old Molly!”’ Old Molly was a hen that had died. But Holcom knew that 1t was not a dog. Presently it ®rneq, and he saw its large, round head, tasseled, ears and wild, fierce eyes. He knew then that it was a “lucivee,” or lynx. Both Holcom and’ Manice were now much concerned lest the creature should get into the barn and kill their five cossets. Hocem had no weapon Yut a light ax and an old bayonet. . He fixed the bayonet on the ¢nd of a “quilting pole,” gave:it to Manice, and took'the ax. Then they sallied forth, shouting to frighten the lynx. Itstarted to run, but fell feebly. Then they saw that, although full-grown, the animal was emaciated and had little strength, either to escape or to fight. As the win-

THE UGLY LOUP-CERVIER.

ter advances and game becomes scarce, the wild carnivora often suffer pitiably. When they approached it turned upon them, but was so nearly frozen and famished that it gould hardly stand. Holcom was about to dispatch the loupcervier, when the idea of capturing it occurred to him., Manice brought a cow blanket, which Holcom threw over the weakened animal; and with’'no great risk or exertion they were able to pick it up and carry it intc the barn. ; “Although, ordinarily, the lynx is one of the fiercest andmost intractable of liv~ ing creatures, this one offered little resistance, and was put in a high-sided stall, where they confined it by nailing slats across the entrance. They gave the loup-cervier a bed of hay, and threw in bones and scraps of deer meat for it to eat. Its hunger was insatiable. . Under the influence of food and warmth its apparent meekness under‘went a great change. When Holcom or. Manice approached the slats, even when' bringing food, the lynx would ‘dash at them, screeching in such an excess of fury that the poor cows and sheep went nearly wild from fear. . The children were in great fear lest the animal might break out in the night and Kkill their stock; and they were now heartily sorry that they had not dispatched it.

. During the eight days that elapsed before their parents returned Holcom and Manice passed through’ every possible phase of anxiety and worry over their loup-cervier. Nor were their troubles at an end when their father and mother came back.

Finally the lynx was sold to a trader at Three Rivers, who had made a market for it in Montreal. With much difficulty it was put in a crate and shipped by rail; but Holcom learned afterward that it had broken out of the crate and given the trainmen so much trouble that, on stopping at a way station, they opened the car door and letit go.—Youth’s Companion.

How Bad Boy Was Converted.

Two Jersey City girls were innocently and happily walking home from school when a bad boy began to call them names. He had no provocation, only he was naturally pugnacious, and wanted to_pick a row with some one, The two girls offered a splendid opportunity, for they were such unassuming, good appearing maidens. So he hurled various vile epithets at them. There was a-hurried consultation, and the two girls smiled at the bad boy. He stopped calling names and stared at them. The girls talked excitedly. “Come over here!” they -called, sweetly. They were such nice girls .that there was no reason why hé should not obey; besides he was curious. He came over. With a rush they pounced on him, threw him down and sat on him, and commanded him to say the Lord’s Prayer. Sputtering with rage, the bad boy repeated the supplication, and then he was allowed to go. One of them said: “Well, I guess he won’t talk that way any more; we've eonverted him, and that’s what that man said last Sunday we ought to do.” ! ;

Long Fight with a Salmon.

Edward Spaeth, treasurer of a New York savings bank, delights to tell his friends of a lengthy battle with an eightpound salmon which occurred nearly a’ year ago, and in which Mr. Spaeth proved the victor. The incident took place last' June, when a party of friends were visiting in Maine and m3hing in Salmon lake. Mr. ‘Spaeth had landed several salmon before hooking the large one, and on: each occasion had spent fearly an hour in landing them. His trouble began, however, at 3:10 o’clock in the afternoon, when he felt a hard tug at his line. The fish was unusually vigorous, and when nearly within reach of the net would create such a disturbance that more line had to be given him. This was kept up all that night, while Mr, Spaeth was furnished his meals by his friends. It was 6:18 o’clock the next morning that the salmon was Jlanded. The “battle” endured: exactly 16 hoursg and 8 minutes, ‘

ADORN THE SUMMER GCIRL.

Clever Imitations of Gems Are Ifuch in Evidence in the Sea- : son’s Finery. ]

Last summer it was beads. The summer girl had a bead chain for every frock, and did not mind in the least if she was compared to an Indian squaw, says the Washington Star. : This year it is a link chain, set in tiny gems. The girl who can dig up an heirloom in old silver, the links blackened by age and the genis quaintly carved, is to be accounted in great luck. ' Wealthy women are scouring curio shops and paying absurd prices for them. The girl who has neither heirlooms nor great wealth contents herself with one of the clever imitations which can be picked up for a song at any store. 3 The links are small and wire-like, flat rather than round, and set at intervals of three, four or five, with flat, oblong jeweled slides. :

A dainty birthday gift for a young girl is the long, slender, summer chain of gold, set in her birthstone. If the girl does not care for her birthstone, the alternative is the Indian emerald, a shade lighter than the real emerald, which is now enjoying a vogue. The Indian emerald and the real gem are sometimes combined to give a pecuiiar shaded effect. \ e e

As a pendant for these chains, the oldfashioned Latin cross is regarded as exactly the right thing. ' An importer recently showed a model, four inches long, set in jewels, which graduated in size from the ends of the arms toward the center, the circle around the heart of the crose being as fine as pin points and sparkling in myriad hues. The price was $3,000. Inafew weeks a clever imitation of this cross was on the market at 75 cents. - Sometimes the crosses are set in colored gems surrounded by pearls or diamonds. Women who do not have to count pennies have chains set in gems to match their various gowns. ) Birthstones seem to be enjoying more than ordinary vogue, and the newest thing in a brooch shows a small gold quill, highly chased and set with a single birthstone in its center. Rings aré flat and stolid locking, with heavy settinzs, including an arrangement of gems whose first letters spell out such words as ‘“‘Regards’” or “Dearest.” . :

Rhin¢stones will be much emplqud in summer jewelry and a new imitation is being imported heavily. This is used for large pieces, such as hatpins. For wear with the inevitable white lace hat there is nothing more striking than an imitation cut as large asa quarter with 32 faces, which cat¢h the light admirably. ) Jeweled side combs in new designs are shown. Last year-the comb turned its decoraled face cutward, toward the ear. This season, with the hair parted in the middle, the two combs turn their decorated edges toward each other, running straight up and down the back, and leaving the neat, white part fully exposed. : ) S

Combs of amber for tortoise have scalloped edges, each scallop thickly inerusted with marvelously clever imitation gems. ' < ;

SANG AS WELL AS PATTL

That Was the Opinion of a Welsh Farmer About His Daughter’s Ability. ;

Nowhere does Mme. Adelina Patti enJoy greater popularity than among the warm-hearted Welsh people in the neighborhood of Craig-y-Nos, her magnificent mansion in Breconshire. It is not, however, asa prima donna of worldwide fame that they honor and esteem her, but rather as a personal friend and benefactor, one who is ever ready to da .a kind act, and whose sympathy and help may be relied upon in time of need, says the London Hour Glass. We may gather, indeed, from the following "imusing incident that the marvelous gift of song which has won for La Diva such rapturous applause in every quarter of the globe is held bysthe simple peasant folk around her cO\Etry home to be of comparatively small account. An old Welsh farmer who went one day to Craig-y-Nos to pay his rent was interviewed, as. it happened; by Mme. Patti herself. The business concluded, she chatted with him pleasantiy for awhile about his family, his farm and other matters. Finally, when' the old man rose to take leave, she asked him if he would like to hear her sing a national song in Welsh. The Lonest farmer showed no undue elation at the honor done him; on the contrary, there was a slight hesitation in his manner. Fe pulled out a huge silver watech, consulted it, and at last remarked laconically he was “not that pressed for time,” aud he could “bide a few minutes longer.” Patti seated herself at. the- piano, played a few soft chords of prelude, and then her gloriou:; voice rang through the room, and the plaintive Welsh melody was sung as she alone could sirg it, with exquisite pathos and expreksion. Asthe last sweet notes died away the singer turned from her seat, to find her visitor, not lost in ecstasy, but stooping over'a glass case at the far end of the apartment, -apparently absorbed in examining the curiosities it contained. He straightened himself at once, however, picked up his hat and was evidently about to depart without further comment. Considerably amused, and perhaps, shall we say, a trifle piqued, Mme. Patti stopped him. -

“But how did yoy like my song?”’ she laughingly inquil%. “Did I not sing it right?” “Oh, yes, inteet, ma’am, and it was ferry goot; but our Polly at home, she does sing it just so well as that,” was the astonishing reply.. Careless Speech. Carelessness in speech often causes the heart to bleed anc ache. Unthoughtedly we very often say things we do not mean, but like a barbed arrow they carry their sting along with them and pierce the heart of those for whom they were not intended. We cannot guard our conversation too closely. A’ harsh word spoken at a fateful moment may turn some one away from- God, or it may cause him to lose faith in mankind. There is no person more to be pitied than the one who has lost faith in the ‘human race. The person in this condition has a dark future. You may play a great part in placing him in this condition by your careless words. It is not right for you to cause unnecessary pain. Therefore you cannot guard your conwvergsation too closely.—Detroit Free Press. - . :
