GRAPHIC STORY OF T H E FLOOD AT PERU.

HE FERRIED MANY TO SAFETY

Thrown Into Water Several Times by Despairing and Frenzied Passen­ger*—Paddled Three Ml le i Through the Tree Topa.

Plymouth, Ind.—Graphic description of the horrors of the flood at Peru, Ind., waB given by Qilbert Kessler, one of the heroes of the calamity. Weary, tired eyed and almost un­nerved from the loss of sleep and the sights he had witnessed, young Kessler, a muscular product of a northern Indiana farm, staggered from a relief train from the stricken city at Plymouth. Here he recounted the terrors of the inky nights when the Wabash river drowned the piercing cries of the frantic and the groans of the perishing. To board the relief train Kessler had paddled three miles in a boat through the protruding tree-tops and debris that momentarily threatened to wreck him.

Crazed Woman Leaps to Death. Kesbler's most vivid picture was

the suicide of several fear crazed women, who leaped from the rescue boats. The roaring current and the terrible sights, he declared, had mad­dened them.

"It was too awful ever to forget," said Kessler with a shudder. "It was cold and damp and misty, and the sight of that black water rushing on pitilessly Just seemed to take the heart out of most of us, especially the women.

"Night and day you could hear the shrieks of the women. And the con­duct of some of them! I was piloting one of the rescue boats to our land­ing, the court house, and the boat was pretty well filled. One of our passen­gers was a woman.

"We were moving rather shakily through one1 of the main streets when all of a sudden I saw this woman rise from her seat and begin to wail: "Oh, what is the use! We'll all be drowned anyway,' and she plunged from her seat Into the torrent.

Tossed Overboard; Regains Boat "The next moment I found myself

in the water. I saw a little arm stick up for a moment. I made a grab for it, but it went down. There was no chance to swim in that Niagara. I struck the stern of our rowboat and Beized it with one hand. Then I grad­ually drew myself aboard.

"I picked up one of our oarsmen a little later. He was still alive.

"But the circumstances considered, you could scarcely blame the woman. A great many of them, though, suf­fered with a stoicism that had to be admired.

"Then again, I had a similar occur­rence. We were bringing another

•boatload to the coi«*t house when a woman ltfo&dd out despairingly and all of us went over. Again it was a fight and I managed to save myself. Four times, altogether, I was thrown out into that muddy stream and I am still wondering how I managed to es­cape.

"The current swept around street corners with tremendous force and only the most experienced oarsmen could propel those craft with any de­gree of safety. One of the life savers from Michigan City took too wide a turn and they all landed in the tree-tops."

"Were as many lives lost in the cap­sizing of boats as in the flood itself?" he was asked.

"Yes. but the boats were not to blame,' because it required great experience to handle a boat in that current," he an­swered. "We had 200 boats, but there was BO much loss of life that finally the women refused absolutely to enter the boats. They preferred to stick to roofs and second floors."

Bursting of Dam Described. Kessler then gave a description of

the flood on the first night. "It was 7:30 p. m. when the water

burst upon the city," he said. "A tem­porary dam had been constructed by the lighting company and because of the threatened condition of the Wa­bash planr were made to break a hole in the dam and let the water out gradually. Instead the dam gave out and the water came with a roar.

"Families had just finished supper when the fire whistle sounded. Simul­taneously all lights went out. People ran out to see what had happened and soon cries of anguish were heard. In the rain and darkness you could not see the water until it was almost upon you. I felt It swishing about my ankles and ran for my girl cousin. When I 'got to her house I was waist deep in water. Cries, shrieks and the reports of revolvers rent the air. Swifter, swifter ran the water. My cousin and I were almost swept off our feet. A bore the din I could hear: To the courthouse! To the court­house !* Half swimming, halt floun­dering, we reached there.

"We found thousand* of men, wom­en and children. Families were sepa­rated. Women were crying for their children, men for their wives and wives for their husbands.

Roar o f Circus Beasts Terr ible. "Then came the roaring of lions and

the neighing of horses. We realized in a moment that the Wallace circus, which has winter quarters at Peru, had been engulfed.

"The lions and other animals were In cages and died In the trap, roaring until the water swallowed them.

"But not so the elephants. These huge beasts tore and lashed their stakes until some of them got away. Several boats saw them trudging and swimming, roaring and lashing their trumpets in the stream. That was the last we saw of them.

"While the work of rescue was go­ing on a great glare lit the sky. We saw that the Miami County Lumber company was ablaze. The reflection In the sky and on the water gave new terror to the refugees in the court­house, but it aided the relief parties in their work.

"The next day I saw bodies in the water. One sight wrung my heart. I saw a couple go floating by—a hus­band and his wife—locked in each other's arms. For fear they might be separated they had bound them­selves together with cord.

Babe Torn From Mother. "Another time a woman in our boat

was carrying her baby when the boat was brushed through the tree tops and. the branches tore the baby from her arms. It disappeared in the water.

"A towerman on one of the rail­roads that overlooked the Wabash" river said he had counted more than 200 bodies as they were swept into the river and toward the- south. If that Is true, the death list will be larger because nobody has heard from the lowest or south side of the city, where 1,000 people lived."

Plight of Youngstown. Chicago.—J. M. Goodnight, a resi­

dent of Youngstown, 0., arrived in Chicago over the Lake Shore.

"Youngstown is under eight feet of water," he declared. "The Mahoning river has risen ten feet higher than it ever attained. Its two wagon bridges have been washed away and the railroad bridges are abandoned. The last train over them threatened to collapse the structure. The water­works and electric lighting plants have given out. Youngstown supplies natural gas to the surrounding terri­tory. This plant was feeble when I left and probably has cut off light from the territory by this time.

"Most of the inhabitants succeeded in reaching high ground out of the reach of the water. Youngstown is built on a scries of ridges. Between these dozens of people swam to safe­ty. Others were lost In the swift current. Near Ashtabula, looking out of the car window, I saw a family at­tempting to get into a boat from the attic window of their home. The boat overturned as the train rolled away."

Die In Last Embrace. Wrhen the residence of W. D. Axline

at Tiffin, 0., was picked up by the flood and started careening down the river, watchers saw Axline and his wife standing in the window of the second story. Her head was pillowed on his shoulder. The cries of the wife could be heard above the rushing water.

Axline patted his wife on the back and kissed her. A moment later the house crashed into the Baltimore & Ohio bridge. It was splintered like a bundle of sticks. With their arms about each other, husband and wife disappeared beneath the raging wa­ters.

When the home of Jacob Kenecht was swept away Mrs. Kenecht and her five children were in the dwelling. Kenecht was outside. When he was picked up by the current he grabbed the limb of a tree. He held on for fifteen minutes. Rescuers attempted to throw him a line. Each time the wildly running <water held the rope within a few inches of his outstretched arms.

Finally, exhausted and numbed by the cold, Kenecht gave up the fight against death. "Thanks, good-by, boys, I'm—" his last words were swal­lowed by the water that engulfed him.

"Bailor Jack'1 Is a Hero. Until Monday morning, "Sailor

Jack" Willis was an Inconspicuous character in Columbus. Today he is the city's hero. He took charge of the rescue work. The life-Raving baskets and cables were made and op­erated under his orders. By stretch­ing cables to a water-surrounded house, the occupants, one by one, were brought to places of safety. "Sail­or Jack" personally saved ten people. And after sixty hours of work, with no rest, he dropped exhausted. A movement has already been started to < obtain for him a Carnegie medal.

Four women, two of whom were Mrs. A. W. Knott and daughter, were rescued from the roof of A barm on Water street by telephone linemen, who clung to the topi of the poles and swung Uses to the women. The four were hauled to safety, hand over hand.

Mountain Fever. Miss Dora Keene was talking at a

tea at the Acorn club in Philadelphia, about mountaineers' enthusiasm.

"The frenzy to get higher, higher, higher," she said, "1B quite incredible to those who have done no mountain­eering.

"There's a story, doubtless true, about a girl who climbed the Schreck horn, a difficult rock-scramble. When the summit was reached the head guide, wiping his brow, panted:

'"Well, here we are, men. up on the top at last'

"But the girl said, fretfully: '"Oh, guide, can't we go any high*

e r r '"Not unless you climb this alpen­

stock, miss,' the guide answered* thrusting it into the frozen snow."

Simple Remedy for Burnt, Common whiting, mixed with water

to the consistency of a thick cream spread on linen, forms an excellent lo­cal application to bums and scalds. The whole burnt surface should be covered, thus excluding the action of the air. The ease It .affords la instan­taneous, and J t only requires to be kept moist by ocofttlonaj sprinkling of cold water.

ALL SAVE LABOR JN KITCHEN

t i t t l e Helps That Wi l l Leave the Housewife Less Tired When

Day's Work Is Ended.

A shelf back of the kitchen table on which to place cupB, spoons and small vessels that are used frequently, the wash basin, within reach of the roller towel, a drinking cup near the water pall, all Bave needless exertion and time that may be utilized for some­thing else or rest.

The very best stove holder can be made of an old, stocking by cutting off the foot at the ankle and folding it Into the leg, fastening it well as it is folded over and over until it is the square shape of the common ironing holder. A brass ring in one corner is a great convenience for hanging and such a holder can be laundered.

In the sewing room, patterns should have their place of quick and easy access and if each one is marked it will often prove a blessing. A bag fastened on the lower part of the sew­ing machine for scraps will likewise be a comfort, and sharp scissors and a work table are absolute necessities.

OLD BREAKFAST TABLE DISH

Spanish Omelet, When Properly Made, Deserves A l l the Popularity I t

Has Attained,

Cut foui ounces of bacon in very thin slices and then into one-half inch squares. Fry gently until crisp, then add one small onion, a medium sized tomato and five mushrooms, all chop­ped rather fine. Rub a freshly cut clove of garlic upon the spoon for stir­ring while cooking 15 minutes. Mean­while break six eggs fhto a bowl, season with a saltspoonful of salt, one-fourth saltspoonful of white pepper. Give them a dozen good strokes and turn into a perfectly smooth frying pan, in which a teaspoonful of butter has been melted, and well spread. Do not stir, but shake constantly until the omelet is nearly set. Spread the bacon and vegetables quickly over the omelet, fold over and set it in the oven for about one minute. Then slip It upon a hot platter and serve at once.

Our Cook Says That in filling a cake pan It is well

to remember that the center of the cake is the part which will be the highest. If the batter is spread as much to the sides as possible, leaving a depression in the center, then the cake when baked will be level.

That a cheap and durable toaster for a gas stove is a piece of sheet iron. Over this is a five-cent fire toaster can be used without danger of burning or blackening the bread.

That when baking or scalloping potatoes, chops can be baked in a pan In the oven, steak broiled underneath or pudding or pie cooked at the same time. It saves gas.

Warm Slaw. Select a nice solid head of winter

cabbage and cut it up very fine. Put into a hot frying pan a piece of but­ter, the size of a walnut, and when melted put in the cabbage with a very little water; let it simmer till well done. Then beat up one egg very light and stlr_Jn slowly; lastly, add one-half cup of sour cream; salt and pepper to suit the taste. Another method for "hot slaw" is to simply make a boiled dressing of two egg yolks, two tablespoons of sugar, two tablespoons of sour cream, one cup of vinegar, and a rounded teaspoonful of butter, and pour this over the fine­ly-cut cabbage

Rice Pudding With Fig Sauce. Press hot boiled rice into buttered

cups; then slip out on a hot dish and pour the sauce over. Look carefully over the flgB to be used; place them in a pan and cover with cold water; cook until tender; chop very fine and press through a coarse sieve. To this pulp add the juice of one-half lemon and sugar if not sufficiently sweet

To Restore a Faded Carpet. To revive the colors in faded car­

pet which is still good for further wear. Take half a pail of warm wa­ter and add to it either a handful of salt or a half cup of turpentine, or half a cup of vinegar, or a good-sized lump of alum, or on dark colors, four table-spoonfuls of ammonia, any of which helps to brighted the colors. Wring out a flannel cloth and wipe off the whole surface of the carpet without really wetting it through, and let it dry thoroughly before using.

To Clean Satin Shoe. Take a piece of flannel and dip it

into spirits of wine, rub the satin the way of the nap; turn the flannel as it gets soiled. Any light color may be cleaned this way. White satin shoes should always be kept In blue paper, or the satin gets discolored.

When to Buy Shoes. To get comfortable fitting shoes,

buy themiate In the afternoon, when the exercise of the day has spread the muscles of the feet to their, largest extent

*'I think I suffered every pain a wo­man could before I began taking Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I think it saved this baby's Ufa, as I lost my first one.

"My health has been very good ever since, and I praise your medicine to all tny friends,"—Mrs. VERNA WILKES, B. F. D. No. 1, PUttsburg, Miss.

The darkest days of husband and wife are when they come to look forward to a childless and lonely old age.

If any a wife has found herself inca­pable of motherhood owing to some derangement* of the feminine system, often curable by the proper remedies.

In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal. ^ H you want special advice write to JLydia £• Plnkham Medicine Co.

SUPPLIES TO SCENE.

All Along the Mississippi Watero Are High and People Are Fleeing

From Their Homes In Terror.

Tralnloads of persons left Cairo fol­lowing %receipt of news that the Ohio river was expected to reach a higher stage than during the disastrous flood of last spring. R. T. Lfodley, the local weather forecaster, issued a statement, saying:

"With weather conditions becom­ing somewhat unsettled in this river district and rapid rises continuing in the Ohio and Wabash rivers, a 54-foot stage is regarded as certain at Cairo if the levees below hold. Fifty-six feet is regarded as a strong possibility here. As a prudential (measure it is ad­visable that women, children and the infirm seek more secure refuge."

The Ohio has reached 51.3 feet. Ev­ery attention is being given the levees

.here. Labor is scarce and an appeal was sent to Governor Dunna for help and he responded that he would send 1,000 men, 200 national guardsmen, 10,000 rounds of rations and 200,000 sacks.

On the Missouri side of the Missis­sippi river water is reported every­where. Hundreds of refugees have come into Cairo. Conditions in this entire district and are very serious.

Queer Ironing. A writer in the Wide World maga­

zine eays that the most curious sight he say at Cairo was men ironing clothes with their feet! The men were employed in the native tailoring establishments.

Except for the long handle, the Iron were shaped like the ordinary flat-iron, only larger. A solid block of wood rested on the top of the iron, and on this the men placed one foot, guiding the iron in the desired direc­tion by means of the handle. For the sake of convenience, Ironing boards were raised only a few Inches from the ground, and, however strange the method may seem to us, the work waa done very well and very expedi­tiously.

BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH Monroe, Wis.—"When my baby was

six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until it got nearly all over his body. It form­ed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. On face and body it was In a dry form and would scale otT. He was in great mis­ery and at nights I would lie awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good.

"Finally a friend suggested Gutlcura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a few applications I could Bee an improvement, and he would rest better. I bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cutl-cura Soap and before I had them half used my baby was cured. His head Is now covered with a luxuriant growth of hair and his complexion is ad­mired by everybody and has no dis­figurements." (Signed) Mrs. Annie Saunders, Sept. 29, 1911.

DOWN LOW THE LITCHFIELD DOWN-LOW Spreader gives a Low Top Rail—

about waist high, which makes it extremely easy to load. A man in handling the ordinary pitchfork, raises the load on the fork waist high in order that he may- throw it from hna. This meaus that it would be useless to make a lower top rajlthan what we build, as there would be no advantage in loading.

OUR MACHINE LOADS easily from any direction—the seat tumB over out bt the way iirfront and its just as easy to load onto this machine as it is to throwi^ in another pile on the ground,

DON'T FORGET. The 8*1 f-Cleaning apron, No-Choke box, Bull Dog cylinder and Oil Packed main bearings are exclusive Litchfield Features You will look for them in vain on any other spreader3.

High Under Clearance A PECULAR FACT. The Litchfield Down-Low has substantially the

same Under Clearance that our High Standard . machines have. We use the same size wheels—the axles are the same distance from the ground. This gives us from sixteen to eighteen inches of general clearance under the machine, and same clearance under tbe front axle that we have always had in the high ma­chines* Just compare this with the eight or ten inches clearance found under other low down spreaders.

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of buying a Sled when you pay your money for a manure spreader. Any machine soon becomes a sled in muddy and rough ground if it does not have sufficient uuder clearance. Like every­thing else^ the tendency toward low down manure sqreaders has gone in most cases a fittle to far and this is a serious objection—Too Close To The Ground.

' * *

S h o r t Whee l Base WE MOUNT OUR SPREADERS on the rear wheels so that these trac­

tion wheels take a sufficient proportion of the load and have sufficient traction to properly operate the unloading machinery. We get away fiom the heavy draft that is a part of all long coupled wagons and spreaders. We turn in a shorter circle and in a smaller place and our machine has much mote activity and is much stronger and more substantial than a machine that is hung between the front and the rsar wheels instead of being mounted on the rear axle. This means light draft, strength, durability and convenience.

We have samples of the Litchfield and New Idea Manure Spreaders for inspection and will take pleas­ure in showing and will make better terms than you can get elsewhere.

If you are not doing something to rid your farm animals of t h e deadly stomach and intestinal worms you are simply Letting Down the Bars to h o g cholera and all the other fatal diseases which have cost the farmers of this country over fifty millions of dollars the past year. YQU can't afford to run this risk. YOU can't afford not to take preventive measures. The best way of preventing these deadly plagues from getting a foothold among your stock is to keep every animal worm free and in the best possible condition.

Worms are the cause of 90 per cent of live stock losses. Thousands of Michigan --rmers have learned this fact and by effectually striking at the cause have successfully won their fight. They have found "an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." Read how they have stopped the loss and improved the value of tfceir live stock.

"I have fed SAL-VET to all my sheep, how jujd pifcH. iind al»o to one of my work hortu's that WHB not hi condition. The horncm have roundf*] out Bpi^ndidb; my ehecp never looked so well lit thin tlpie o* the year and my hogs and soring pig« arf in the bent of health. I have HT*ny« (wen stow to teed any of the stock foods or medicine*, believing tlmt good feeding, and ordinary conditions ought tr\ keepsthcMn pood health, but I am well Hatl«lio<l with the reBiiltsolttalnedfrom SAL-VET; It ha*certainly improved to a marked depree, the condition of tnystock.'-W.H.SOHANlZ. 8upt. SheepDept. Michigan Agricultural Society. Hastings. Mich.

"SAL-VET is a flno thin«. It was well worth the price for my cows alone, I h.ive Holsteln nnd wrao of them have hail trouble with their rmfrs becoming caked. This spring they w«re free fmm it. with a single exception and I at-trim rhc-ir improvement to S^L-VET." — EHiN^-i r\ JLIAWUEU. brltton, Mich.

"We keep SAL-VET accessible to onr^ht» p iiil the time and have found its use wry effect ive in keeping out worm**, and the tiheep iu a >:en-rrally healthy condition We have alM> found it an exoelluit conditioner and worm < l<;iuer for horses.

The Great Worm Destroyer and Uve Stock Conditioner

Look Out for These Danger Signs Coughing, rough coats, laggard steps, poor appetites and dull eyes. These are the c o m m o n symptoms of worm infection and should disease break out in your neighborhood the chances are a hundred to one against you, and your entire herds may bo swept away with a -suddenness that will appall you. You can greatly lessen this danger from disease if not altogether avoid these heavy losses simply by letting your stock run <b "Sal-Vet'* —the cheapest and greatest worm destroyer as well as the best preventive of live stock diseases.-

*'Sal-Vet0 is a medicated salt which works a wonderful change in all live stock. It first destroys and expels the deadly worms and gives nature a chance to put every animal you own in a healthy, vigorous condition. It is the best stock insurance you can get because it costs so little and does so much. For one-twelfth of a cent a day any hog or sheep can run to it freely and will doctor themselves. It costs only a trifle more for larger animals and requires no mixing, no dosing, no drenching, no starving—no bother at all. I prove all this or no pay.

Here Is Afg Money-Back Trial Offer Simply call at my "Sal-Vet" dealer's store and get enough "Sal-Vet" to last all your stock 60 days. Take it home with you and place it where all your farm animals can run to it freely. Then watch results. If "Sal-Vet" does not do what I claim—if it doiTt rid your stock of the deadly stomach and intestinal worms and prove entirely satisfactory TO YOU, simply notify the dealer and he will refund your money in full. You won't be out a single penny. I take all the risk. Remember, you get ALL your money back if you are not pleased. You certainly can't afford to risk the loss of a single animal when such a fair, square, liberal offer like this is made to you. Yon know your dealer—he accepts your word as to the results. You take no risk whatever.

SUMY H FEtt, Pre*., Tie S. K. FeB Cfc, Oudmi, 0M»

Latest investigations tend to con­firm the estimates of fewer than BOO .deaths in the floods that swept over i score of cities in Ohio and Indiana last week.

As the waters receded from Dayton, •Columbus and other places, leaving a thick coating of mud, alarm was caus­ed by a rapid rise of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, inundating parts of cities along their banks.

There is not much danger of loss Of life in these places, however, as the Inhabitants have hills to flee to and are used to floods.

Revised reports Indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed 150. The death list at Piqua, Ohio, fell from the estimate ot 50 to 13 known dead.

Sanitary experts from the United States public health service are or­dered to Dayton by Secretary of War Garrison to protect city from pesti­lence. The Water has receded in Dayton and rescuers in some sections use canoes and flat bottomed boats, while in other sections relief squads wade.

People throughout country are urg­ed by Dayton relief committee not to send messages of inquiry, as they can­not be delivered because the wire ca­pacity is taxed to the utmost by offi­cial and public business.

Brookville, Indiana, Is practically under martial law and 20 men have been driven out of the city after loot ing damaged homes and buildings. T c hundred and fifty children rescued from the flood have only night clothes •and wagon trains carried food and clothing from Connersville to the 3tricken people.

The work of rehabitation began at Day Ion and other flooded oitles as the work of rescue approached Its end. The all important weather showed improvement as viewed by refugees, for it was warmer and pleas­ant to frost and water-chimed bones. Sanitary experts accepted the rise in temperature with mixed feelings, for the cold had retarded decomposition of animal matter and refuse.

Members of the citizens' relief com* mittee at Dayton, are apprehensive af a water famine. , It Is believed there

boil the water for drinking pur poses.

Medical supplies were reported woe­fully short. Drug stocks were largely destroyed, and the chests of the mili­tia, as well as supplies sent by other cities, have in many instances been delayed by washouts and other mis­haps of the flood.

Access to Dayton is now compara­tively easy and relief trains are arriv­ing nearly every hour with food, cloth­ing, medical supplies, physicians, and Red Cross nurses.

No city even in war times was ever under stricter martial law. The pro­vost guard sounds the curfew at 8 o'clock. With it all passes are re­voked automatically and none permit­ted on the street. The sleep of the exhausted stricken was interrupted continually by the boom of guns. Des­pite the drastic military measures many attempted to pass the lines and looters were busy. The militia had orders to shoot to 'kill after one warn­ing and the continual crash of the muskets was evidence that the warn­ings would not stop the marauders.

With nearly 15,000 persons in the towns along the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driven from their homes by the rising yellow tide sweeping down the Ohio valley, and with more than 3,500 homes altogether or partly submerged, the .flood situation in that

icinity is assuming graver propor-ions at Cincinnati, the water front

buildings are all partly under water .nd much damage has been done.

One life has been lost as a direct result of the high water here. Miss \nna Smith, the first victim drowned, lost her life in an attempt to reach Newport in a skiff that capsied in mid* stream. Her three men companions were rescued.

Newport and Coving*on, virtu-lly are suddounded by water. Condition! there are worse than elsewhere and nearly 10,000 persons have been driv­en from their homes.

Relief measures, however, are ade­quate. In these two cities the onlv fear is that health conditions would be seriously affected because of the clogging of the sewage system and the stagnation of backwater. As yet' the

vantageout on Any Farm— Racka Will Not Slip.

Fig. 1 shows one section of the frame- as it appears before unloading while Fig. 2 shows the position of the frame with the rack on i t The posts A are 4 by 4's set firmly into the ground.

How Lifter Does Its Work.

ly bolted to the posts, yet not so tight as to hinder them from moving freely in loading or unloading a rack. The pieces C are 2 by 6's bolted to the lift­ing braces. At their forward ends two short pieces of 2 by 4's (E) are bolted that strike against the rack as it Is being driven between the frames, thus bringing up the lifting frames and raising the rack off the wagon. Two crosspieces of 2 by 4s (D) are bolted lengthwise to the posts to give the frames rigidity. Two blocks (F) are bolted at the forward ends of D to stop the forward movement of the lifting frame. These are placed a lit­tle past the center so as to lock the frame while up. Two pawls notched at one end are bolted underneath the rack frame with the notched ends against the rear bolster of the wagon This prevents the rack slipping back as It rises from the wagon.

STAPLE FOOD FOR CHICKENS

Hens Cannot Give Best Results When Fed Grain Alone—Fowls De­

mand Variety of Feed.

Grain is the staple food for poultry, And will be used for that purpose as long-as fowls are kept on farms, but hens cannot give good results on grain alone. It Is beneficial to them and will be at all times relished, but the de­mands of the hens are such as to call for a variety. In the shells of eggs as well as their composition are sev­eral forms of mineral matter and nitro­gen, which can only be partially ob­tained from grain.

Even grains vary in composition, and when fowls are fed on one kind for a long time they will begin to re­fuse It, as they may be oversupplied with the elements of the food partaken and lack the elements that are best supplied from some other source. For this reason they will accept a change of food, which is of itself an evidence that the best results from hens can only be obtained by a variety of food Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given 'as a portion of the ration and not made exclusive articles of diet.

Fighting Ringworm. Ringworm is A contagious disease

due to a fungas. Man, horses and cat­tle are commonly affected, and It is easily transmitted from one animal to another. The affection first asserts itself as a ringlike patch, with the hair broken off. The usual location is on the skin around the eyebrows, or muzzle, scattering from there over different parts of the body. Treatment is sometimes easy, more often difficult to completely eradicate. All brashes and utensils in contact with infected animals should be sterilised. Wash the patch with soap and water, and apply tincture of Iodine or lard and salicylic acid* six part to one of salicylic acid.

HOW TO PREVENT OAT SMUT

Grain Should Be Treated With For-malln 8olutlon In Morning and

Drilled In Same Day.

To prevent oat smut, the grain should be treated with formalin It takes about one ounce of formalin for every five bushels of grain to be treat­ed.

Clean a space on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it with the for­malin solution before spreading the seed grain. The oats should be run through the fanning mill twice to re­move all light grain, as only heavy clean seed should be sown. Spread down the seed grain, then sprinkle the grain with the formalin solution made as follows: Formalin, one ounce; wa­ter, two and one-half gallons; mix thoroughly. The solution can be ap­plied with a fine rose watering pot; shovel the grain over so that every seed is coated with the solution. When all the grain is coataed, shovel the grain into a round pile and cover with sacks for not more than two or three hours, then spread out, and as soon as the oats will not stick together it Is fit to sow or drill. The gTain should be treated In the morning and drilled in the same day. The drill should be set to drill two and one-fourth to two and one-half bushels to the acre, as the oats, having absorbed considerable water are larger than dry oats. Have the ground thoroughly mellowed; drill the oats in with 250 pounds to the acre of some good bone fertilizer. Even If the ground is in good order, it will pay to use the fertilizer. The fer­tilizer will ripen the grain early, the straw will stand up stiff and cannot be blown down by summer storms and the yield will be^increased fully 10 to 12 bushels per acre.

No Little Girl for Him. The six-year-old son of a well-known

Indianapolis family attends a dancing school. He is a chubby little fellow who has not begun to stretch out yet, and he keenly feels his "shortage." He demands that he be recognized as a little "grownup." Several days ago the teacher planned to instruct her pupils in dancing "the Butterfly." A five-year-old girl who is small for her age, and just a trifle stouter than our hero, but an adept at dancing, was assigned as his partner. He gazed at her iu silence. Then he took hold of her hand and, with his mouth set firmly, walked straight over the the teacher.

Most Serious Problem. Infectious abortion among cattle

bas become one of the most serious problems for cattle owners so far as infectious diseases are concerned. It is well entitled to rank in Import­ance with tuberculosis, hog cholera, and Texas fever. Two new medical treatments have recently appeared, either one of which may possibly prove to be of very great Importance. One, abortin, is used like tuberculin, as a diagnostic; and the other is a vaccine, which it Is hoped will im­munize heifers against the infection. There is not sufficient reliable Infor­mation available as yet, upon which to Justify any definite statement. Breeders should keep these things in mind and watch for future develop­ments.

Value of Education. The question is often asked, "Of

how much value is school training to farmers from a business standpoint?" A recent agricultural survey of sever­al townships of Tompkins county, New York, made by the College of Agricul­ture of Cornell University has reveal­ed many interesting and suggestive facts bearing upon rural sociology. To quote from the summary: "The sur­vey shows that a high school educa­tion Is worth as much to a farmer as $6,000 worth of 5 per cent, bonds. A college education la worth nearly twice as much."

Attention, Voters

Pinckney, March 31 Editor of Dispatch,

Pinckney, Mich. Dear 8ir:—

Through the colamDs of your paper I wish to explain to each and every voter of Putnam town­ship, the present existing condi­tion of the roads throughout this township.

First—The township money during the past two years has all been expending on a. mile or two of highway, making it the most perfect road in the township. To further this point.—If a farmer living on the southwest line of tbe boundaries of Putnam wishes to haul a load of wood or wheat to town he cannot do it with the best team in the county. Take a look at the roads in the central and north part. There are a num­ber of bridges within tbe radius of Putnam which are now and have been in a dangerous condition for years.

It is up to you Mr. Voter to look out for your own interests and to see to it that a Board is elected that will so plan the out­lay of the money that two or three roads will not receive all the ben­efits and more than that, the township is now in debt on the state roads built last year. From said roads the minority .and not the majority are receiving the benefit.

There will be another big tax this year, but I would no fault whatever if every taxpayer would share their just proportion of the taxes, but such is not tbe case. Too much local money in the form of bonds and commercial stock escapes taxation, which causes the largest proportion of the taxes to fall on the small farmer who has only 40 or a 100 acres to his credit. He pays from $25.00 to $118.00 every year for taxes. As a result, a farmer told me the other day that it took everything he could sell except $2.00 to pay his taxes this year. I wish to ask you Mr. Voter, is this justice?

The Postmaster General has is­sued orders to postmasters to dis­continue all mail routes where the roads are in an impassible condi­tion.

Now Mr. Voter and Mr. Tax­payer don't you think that right now is the time to begin that im­provement? Let us band together and elect a Township Board with Commissioner that will go forth and repair ALL the roads in the Spring as the law juBtly requires.

Very truly yours, H. B. GARDNER.
