Kit BOB SLEO FOR HEAVY WORK* One Shown In Illustration Has Advantage of Turning Short Cor. ners With Big LoaJ. In reply to a query for a plan and . description of a bob sled, ruitable for hauling wood, fodder and other heavy work, the Country Uentleman makes the following reply: The following account of a bob sled was sent us years ago by D. B. Raymond; ne used It for years for logging, and It haB the advantage that It will turn ohnrl ? - ?%..? uuvtv wiucio aim cuauit) a leaui to draw one-fourth more than any other sled. The tonsue 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 independent 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 centeff This ring Is put Into a clevis at the rAr end of the saddle-plank of the front bob, the other endB 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 oyt 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 slightly ncrosB the grain, so as to wear with It. They will last a whole winter. The lower figure In Fig. 2 shows how they f gj ? 1 [Sf=^ ' J Fig. 2?Sled Shoe and Bolster. are put on. The bolBter of the rear bob 1b 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 forward bob Is shown In the upper figure of Pig. 2, and has rings to bind the load. The saddle-plank, on the front , bob, should be 2 Vfc inches thick and a foot wide, to support the king-bolt and whole load. FUNCTIONS OF TILE DRAINS Farmer Cannot Afford to Walt on Nature 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 removal 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 subterranean 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 water 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 aa is rises to the tile level. A good crop is dependent upon a large root system. Since the root systom 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 cultivation smile at droughts. Saving the Harness. Aside from the bad appearance which uncared for harness presents, it has a habit of suddenly giving out j at important moments, and this makes trouble afld much loss. If not kept in good condition harness be, comes hard and very uncomfortable to ! the horses, and when in that condition cracks and warps, rendering it in a short time unfit for use. All this trouble can be easily avoided ir 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 several coats?for timbers that are placed I in damp places soak In all the wood I will take. This wilt nrolnnar thn llfa of the wood for many years. Hens Relish Cinders. Hens will eat a great quantity of coal cinders and they are very good for them.

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 fertilizers containing this element. The air we breathe is the greatest known storehouse of nitrogen, but the nitrogen 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 bacteria?those microscopic organisms ! which exist in soils and materially af- i feet 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- ! tlvlty of these minute organisms Is greatly restated, and consequently uncultivated orchards are not ns well supplied with the food materials required for the prollflc production of fruit of the best quality. Cultivation, too, keeps In the moisture of the soil, and give the rain and ?un a chance to produce the best results. LIVE STOCK MEANS SUCCESS No Better Place for Farmer to Mai kef Corn and Roughage Than to Give to Anlmale. On nearly every farm live stocl raising is merely a side line where ll should be the main thing. There Is no place where the farmer ci.n market his corn and roughage so profitably as feeding It to gocl live stock. The mar- , ket is right at home In the feed lot. and no long hauls to town are necessary. 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 nure-bred live stock Is a business which should bo entered gradually aud retired froam reluctantly. Improving the common stock a little each year will lead up to the pure-bred business. There can 1 exist no permanent system of agriculture without live stock and, on highpriced 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 Snlino county. Missouri, writes the Ilreeder's Gazette as follows: My floodgate Is mado on the plan of a railway stock guard. We start by using two small logs or poles extending down the creek aa'shchvn, the lower ends sunk in the creek bed and the upper ends resting against trees or hmjyri ^ J 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 pood material spiked to the lops. 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 j 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 deterloriate ranidlv. Attention to detail often means suocoBs In the poultry business. The merits of the scratching shed are shown during bad weather. The Incubator should be In readiness 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 birds In their day. Sone 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 sudden and extreme chauges in temperature, 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 production. Excited men and women mnke excited birds, and that has a bad effect on the egg-producing mechanism of tho birds. Do not put males in adjoining pens with only netting between thein. Have a twelve-inch board at the bottom ot each partition. ' V. ? v y"*7 -'V BIG PROBLEM IS BEING STUDIED EXPLANATION OF WORK BUREAU OF SOCIAL HYGIENE HOPES TO ACCOMPLISH. ABOLISH WHITE SLAVE TRADE John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Tells of the Plane for the Investigation of Vice Conditions. New York.?In order that the pub lie might bettor understand the Bureau of Social Hygiene, Johu D Rockefeller, Jr., gave out a statement explaining the origin, work and the plans of that institution. The bureau, he said, came into existence about two years ago as a result of the work or a Bpeciai grand jury appointed to j investigate the white slave traffic in New York City. This Jury recommended that a public commission be appointed to study the social evil. Mr. Rockefeller was foreman - of that grand Jury and he thereafter gave the subject deep thought and conferred with a large number of the leading men and women. '"These con ferencese," says Mr. Rockefeller, "developed the feeling that a public com ; mission would labor under a number of disadvantages such as the fact that , it would be short lived; that its work would be done publicly; thnt at best it could hardly do more than pre sent recommendations. So the conviction grew that in order to make a real and lasting improvement in conditions. a permanent organization should be created, the continuation of which would not be dependent upon a temporary wave of reform, nor upon the life of any man or group of men, but which would go on, generation after generation, continuously making warrare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organization would have, among other advantages, a certain freedom from public ity and from political bias, which a public appointed commission could not so easily avoid. "Therefore, as the initial step, in the winter of-1911 the Bureau of Social Hygiene was formed. Its present members are Miss Katharine Bement Davis, superintendent of the New York state reformatory for women at Bedford Hills, N. Y.; Paul M. Warburg of the firm of Kulin, Loeb & Co.; Starr J. Murphy of the New York bnr, and John D. Rockefeller. .Tr "One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at Bedford Hills, adjacent to the reformatory, of a labratory of social hygiene, under Miss Davis" direction. In this laboratory it is proposed to study from the physical, mental, social and morulside each person committed to the reformatory. This study will be carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months, as may he required. When the diagnosis is completed, it is hoped that the laboratory will be in position to recommend the treatment most likely to reform the Individual, or, if reformation is Impossible to recommend permanent custodial "care. Furthermore, reaching out beyond the individuals involved, it is believed that thus Important contributions may be mnde to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible for vice. If this experiment is successful the principle may prove applicable to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime and lead to lines of action not only more scientific and humane, but also less wasteful than those at present followed."' That it a u-nrlf mipht tw> itnnp Intnl. llgently tho bureau employed George J. Kneeland to make a comprehensive survey of vice conditions In New York, and Abraham Flexner to study the social evil In Europe, and their reports are now being prepared. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement says; "it cannot be too strongly emphasized that the spirit which dominates the work of the bui reau is not sensational or sentlmenj tal or hysterical; that it Is not a spirit i of criticism of public officials; but that it is essentially a spirit of conj structive suggestion and of deep scl entitle as well as humane interest in a great world problem." Ryan's Bond Refused. Chicago.?For the second time the United States circuit court of appeals declined to approve bonds submitted for the release of Frank M. Ryan, | president of the International Ironworkers' union; R. II. Houlihan and William Shupe of Chicago, convicted of conspiracy in connection with ille gal transportation of dynamite. District Attorney Miller advised the court he had inspected the sureties and ; found them insufficient. Ilonds of William Bernhardt of Cincinnati for $10,000 were accepted. Speedy Justice Meted Negro. Gulf port. Miss. ? Within seven hours after ho had shot and killed Chief of Police Charles Dickey, Per cy Newkirk, a negro, who had been trapped by the officer while in the act of burglarizing a store, was indicted by the county grand jury, tried on a charge of murder, convicted, and sentenced to be hanged just one month from date. Notwithstanding the quick justice meted out to the no gre, a large and excited crowd thronged the streets near the court house and threats of lynching made. f. Wedding Rings That Wear.
