In reply to a query for a plan and description of a bob sled, suitable for hauling wood, fodder and other heavy work, the Country Gentleman makes thefollowing reply: The following account of a bob sled was sent us years ago by D. B. Ray mond; he used It for years for logging, and it has the advantage that it will turn short corners and enable a team to draw one-fourth more than any other sled. The toncue Is not set stiff, but Is fastened to the nose-piece with two devices one on the tongue, and one on the cross-piece, making a sort of universal joint, permitting it to turn at right angles, and allowing the team to turn half around without moving the load, and to clear trees and logs. Fig. 1 Chain Bob Sleds. The draft-chain being entirely inde pendent of the tongue, the latter may be made light. If used much on the road, it should be heavier, and set stiff. . The bobs are coupled together with a forked cable chain in place of a reach, with a grab-hook on each end, and a ring In the center. This ring is put into a clevis at the rear end of the saddle-plank of the front bob, the other ends of the chain to rings on the nose of the rear bob. The rings are large enough for the chain to double through, so as to let them out or draw them together, and by which logs of any length from 8 to 25 feet may be placed equally on both. The rings, properly put on, cannot catch a tree or brush; and the chains playing up and down, permit the rear bob to go over the roughest ground, logs or brush. The shoes of the runners are made of the hardest dry wood, sawed slight ly across the grain, so as to wear with it. They will last a whole winter. The lower figure in Fig. 2 shows how they 2 Fig. 2 Sled Shoe and Bolster. are put on. The bolster of the rear bob is 4 by 5 inches. The bolt heads which fasten it should be "let in," so as to be out of the way. The bolster of the for ward bob is shown in the upper figure of Fig. 2, and has rings to bind the load. The saddle-plank, on the front bob, should be 2 inches thick and a foot wide, to support the king-bolt and whole load. FUNCTIONS OF TILE DRAINS Farmer Cannot Afford to Wait on Na ture and Must Provide Artificial Means of Drainage. Drainage is the limiting factor on many farms where the hand of man has not assisted nature in the re moval of free soil water, says Farm Press. Nature has furnished us with a surface drainage system in our rivers, creeks and rivulets. In some places she has provided subter ranean drainage in sand and gravel subsoil. If allowed to take its time, the water would follow small passage ways to some natural outlet, but the agriculturist cannot wait. Where the soil is underlaid with a heavy clay, hardpan, sand or limestone rock, it Is necessary for man to assist nature. He resorts to digging a trench from two and one-half to three feet in depth, above the impervious stratum, and place therein a tile drain. This tile rapidly carries away the free wa ter that rises to or above the stratum of hard clay or rock. The function of the drain is not so much to remove water as it passes downward as it is to carry it away as is rises to the tile level. A good crop is dependent upon a large root system. Since the root system of the plant will not develop in free soil water, the shallow laying of the drain tile means a small crop. Deep laying of the tile provides a large feeding area for the roots of a big crop. Deep drainage and frequent shallow cultiva tion smile at droughts. Saving the Harness. Aside from the bad appearance Which uncared for harness presents, it has a habit of suddenly giving out at Important moments, and this makes trouble and much loss. If not kept in good condition harness be comes hard and very uncomfortable to the horses, and when in that condi tion cracks and warps, rendering it in a short time unfit for use. All this trouble can be easily avoided if you will give your harness a little attention. Preserving Timbers. To preserve timbers from dry rot and decay paint the timbers with crude carbolic acid, giving, them sev eral coats for timbers that are placed in damp places soak in all the wood will take. This will prolong the life of the wood for many years. Hens Relish Cinders, liens will eat a great quantity of coal cinders and they are very good for them. Try putting a load in the chicken yard and watch the result. NITROGEN IS OF IMPORTANCE V -ars V Large Sums of Money Are "Expended Yearly for Fertilizers Contain ing This Element. One, of the most important plant and tree foods is nitrogen. Large sums of money are spent every year by farmers and fruit growers for fer tilizers containing this element. The air we breathe is the greatest known storehouse of nitrogen, but the nitro gen In the air is not in a form which can be directly used by the plants. It can, however, be converted into a usable form by the action of soil bac teria those microscopic organisms which exist in soils and materially af fect the growth of crops. Cultivation brings these soil bacteria into direct contact with the air from which they take the nitrogen and convert it into food for the adjacent plants and trees. Without cultivation this beneficial ac tivity of these minute organisms is greatly restricted, and consequently uncultivated orchards are not as well supplied with the food materials re quired for the prolific production of fruit of the best quality. Cultivation, too, keeps in the moisture of the soil, and give the rain and sun a chance to produce the best results. LIVE STOCK MEANS SUCCESS No Better Place for Farmer to Market Corn and Roughage Than to Give to Animals. On nearly every ( farm live stoci raising is merely a side line where it should be the main thing. There Is no place where the farmer can market his corn and roughage so profitably as feeding it to good live stock. The mar ket is right at home in the feed lot, and no long hauls to town are neces sary. If a farmer can feed his 60-cent corn to good hogs which will pay him 80 cents for it, does he not make an advance on the price of his corn and a profit in the fertility returned to the soil, as well as a saving of expense in hauling? Breeding pure-bred live stock is a business which should be entered gradually and retired froam reluctantly. Improving the common stock a little each year will lead up to the pure-bred business. There can exist no permanent system of agri culture without live stock and, on high priced land, pure-bred stock Is the only kind to have. FLOODGATE IS VERY SIMPLE Missouri Man Has One Arranged on Plan of Railway Stock Guard It Costs Little. In describing a simple and success ful floodgate H. S. Terrell of Saline county, Missouri, writes the Breeder's Gazette as follows: My floodgate is made on the plan of a railway stock guard. We start by using two small logs or poles extend ing down the creek as shown, the low er ends sunk in the creek bed and the upper ends resting against trees or Sunk l ft " " "i in ground J $ I 4 A Missouri Flood Gate. posts. We put a three-quarter inch bolt through where they cross. For slats use old rails, poles or 2 by 4 of good material spiked to the logs. Then the job is done. The best of it Is it stays put. There is no cost to speak of at the start and no trouble afterwards wading around in the mud cleaning it and getting it stock-proof again. The middle being lowest, the main current naturally stays there and so all logs, stumps and trash of any kind go right on down the stream. If the flock is not culled every year it will deterioriate rapidly. Attention to detail often means suc cess in the poultry business. The merits of the scratching shed are shown during bad weather. The incubator should be In readi ness before it is time to start it. Overcrowding is one of the worst and most frequent mistakes made by poultrymen. Allow chickens of all sizes a good dust bath. They enjoy it, from the smallest to the largest. Dry mash, charcoal and grit can be fed In a box covered with half-inch poultry netting, without waste. Don't keep unsightly or crippled chickens, even though they have been valuable bird3 in their day. Some tell the sex of the guinea fowl by its wattles. Those of the male are double the size of the female. Some of the causes of roup are sud den and extreme changes in tempera ture, damp houses and draughts. A good poultryman is industrious, not easily discouraged, filled with pluck and grit and full of ambition. Have your fowls so tame that you can go among them without causing fright. You will get better egg pro duction. , Excited men and women make ex cited birds, and that has a bad effect on the egg-producing mechanism of the birds. Do not put males in adjoining pens with only netting between them. Have a twelve-inch board at the bottom of each partition. The Highest Education By REV. WILLIAM EVANS. D. D., Director of Bible Courte, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago i- jiniiwiiimf TEXT Cease to do evil; learn to do well. Isa. 1:16-17. Life's greatest work is the build ing of character. Our world is a college, events are teachers, happi ness is the gradu ating point, and character is the diploma which 4 given to man! fliroitpr ia mnrf than learning an Intellect; goodnes outshines genius.' Character is not so much a thing of intellect as of disposition, therefore should be cloth ed with goodness. The only abiding thing, the only thing that you may take with you into the future life, is character. It is.a rnark of wisdom to look into and pre pare for the future. Herein lies the difference between a child and a man. the savage and the civilized, the rich and the poor the ability to look into and plan for the future. The power of the artist lies, in his ability to see see finished picture. Character is the best thing you can leave behind you. A good character is the best tomb stone. We are remembered by what we have done. The absence of character is hopeless, weakness and wickedness. What Is Character? Intellectual culture is not necessari ly character. It is often argued that Intellect and moral development go to gether. History, howevef, disproves such a statement. If that were true the peasant, if pious, even though he had no education, would be a Shakes peare or a Milton; then goodness must accompany scholarship and so every scholar would be a moral man, which is not the case. Intellectual culture may be and often is accompanied by character, but it is not Identical with it. Did intellect save Solomon from vice. Bacon from bribery, or Byron from Immorality? Coleridge says: "All the mere products of the under standing tend to death." Wealth is not character, although it Is often substituted for it. People without character, but with money, often are admitted into respectable society. Wealth In the hands of weak men is a fearful thing. It is not true that moneymaking has the tendency to banish great thoughts and fine feel ings? Why is so much immorality con nected with wealth? Reputation is not character. Char acter is what a man is, reputation Is what men think him to be;and often these two things are reversed by the revelation of the newspapers. Char acter is what a man is before God; reputation is what he is before men; reputation is for time, character Is for eternity. Character is what a man is when nobody i3 looking. A man's character can no more be strengthened by reputation than' a fence by whitewash. What, then, is character? The word signifies something scored or en graved, and carries with it an abiding significance; so we may speak of char acter as that which sets forth certain abiding results which has been scored or engraved in the soul of man by the experiences of life. Character is the stamp on our souls of the free choices of good or evil we have been making continually through life. It is that which engraves itself upon all we do. Character is what we are in the hid den recesses and not merely on the surface of our lives; it is not really what men take us to be, but what we are before God as our judge. Charac ter is a true man, a true woman, at their best and highest, living out the dictates of their highest, best and fuest natures. The man of character is truthful. "His armor is his honest thought, and simple truth his utmost skill." He does not profess a thing that he does not intend to do; he does not prom ise a thing which he knows is not in his power to fulfill. No considerations can justify the sacrifice of truth which ought to be sovereign in all the rela tions of life. A lie is never justifiable. Some one has said that other vices are virtues compared to lying, yet how lightly esteemed is falsehood. Ly ing ofttimes assumes the form of di plomacy, expediency, moral reserva tion, dodging the question, twisting words, and giving wrong impressions. Character is characterized by mod esty and purity. The bloom on a peach i3 of the very first consideration to its life and perpetuation; and the finest thing about a man or a woman is the fine bloom on the mind and the con science. This feeling is more ef fectual for our protection than walls of granite or gates of brass. Take care of the delicacy of your mind, re tain the power to blush, respect the alarm and shrinking of the soul at the faintest suspicion of evil. Let cynical people call you green; thank God for that color, and see that you keep it. for it Is infinitely better than the sere and yellow leaf of a wasted life. Livo bo modestly, so purely, so resolutely for your God that your who'e niorJ nature shall continue, "Quick as the apple of an c-ye. Th slightest touch of sin to feel" Wedding Rings That Wear. The next time you are married or, if you will, when you are-married don't buy a gold wedding ring. It isn't being done. Platinum wedding rings are the newest thing. Mile. Jeanne Provost, a French actress, is to blame. She thought of the idea, and when Bhe was married to M. FIrpo, she had one. Platinum rings are more expensive than gold and wear better. Just why an actress, especially a French actress, should want a wedding ring that will last a long while the jewelers haven't learned. His Childish Wish. Here is an excerpt from Paul West's "Just Boy" letters, which read like a clipping from the "Little Johnny" pa pers by Ambrose Blerce In the early volumes of the Argonaut; "I ast my father why ministers move so much and he said he guessed they was forced to on account of thare sons. I wisht my father was a minister." San Francisco Argonaut. fAe FOLEY Backache Rheumatism Kidneys and Bladder PARKEk's HAIR BALSA W Cimuim moA txuittflt tha hair.
