AUTOMOBILES FOR POWER. Pleasure Cars May Be Utilized Fop Farm Work. Automobiles arc coming into use oil tbc farm as a moans of plcnsnt* for the fanner ami his family. There is noth ing more natural than a desire tu mil i/.e the splendid power plant contained in a car for other purposes than pro pelling it over the roads. An Ingenious farmer has solved the problem in a manner apparently satisfactory to him ?elf. The farmer devised an arrange ment whereby the act of putting the car in its sited-places it In position and so associates the wheels with the ma chinery of the dairy that the engine ?When started will do the heavy work of running the separator. The accompanying sketch shows this device so plainly that it is not neces sary to describe it other than to call a: lent ion to the l wo rollers, one of Which has its shaft extended outside the box to carry a pulley, from which the bolt runs to an overhead shaft. It is easily apparent (hat the revolution of tho wheels of (he car will cause a reverse motion of the rolls, which is transmitted by means of the pulley and bell to the shaft and thence to the ma chinery. In this way the wear on the TUB MolOll AS A I'OWEIt PLANT. vires is rendered uniform. The grip on the rolls that these tires exercise is surprising, A i eeuliarity of this arrangement is that the car shows a tendency to skid from side to side. 'this, however. Is ensily overcome by means of props 01 bumpers, which are put in place so as to limit the sidcwlso motion of tin? car Mithin the sited. I ho mere pressure of the band serving to move tlie car easi ly when the wheels are revolving on the rolls. In very warm weather ot on long, heavy pulls it is sometimes necessary to connect the circulating system with the witter supply In order to prevent boating of the cylinders. For sawing wood, cutting feed or any work of an intermittent nature It is necessary for some one to control tho engine on account of there being no governor. As a matter of fact, one farmer has a small boy at tin; throttle most of the time, as the sep arator is sometimes thrown off with out warning. All Around tho Farm. It is claimed by those who have trained many horses that, taking tin* colt when training first begins, they cntl be trained to walk over four miles an hour. The walking gait is the most Important one to the farm and road horse. The mistake with many in (raining young horses is that they are loo soon put to trotting, which is a gait they more readily learn than fast walking. If the land is (o lie plowed twice be fore planting in order to make it thor oughly line, it will lie well to roll it lie lore tho second plowing in order to pack the surface somewhat and make the earth turn better without clogging the moldbonrd. The roller is also use ful in breaking clods ami in packing I ho surface to prevent excessive evapo ration in dry weather. In order to get hens in prime con dition to produce fertile eggs you are required to follow as closely after na ture's plan tts possible. Provide them with n liberal amount of green food, togcthor with animal food at least twice each week, if you cannot give them a large, roomy yard, release them from conllncment at least an hour each day. The day of the bog which Is hnlf solid fat Is limited. Consul Webster of Niagara Falls states that the Cana dian hog raisers and packers have been forced, through lack of demand for fat hogs, to produce the leaner bacon type which can be sold to ad vantage on the British market and la suitable for tho export trade. A heifer should be milked as long as possible during her first period of lac tation eveu if she does uot give much milk. When allowed to dry up at six months she will go dry every time at tho same period when a cow. Heifers nro very susceptible to education in this respect. Provided the hen is cooped or tether ed, young chickens may bo allowed to run In the onlou and asparagus bods. Und? Sam's Granary.

Enormous Crop Purchased For Eastern and European Markets. Contracts have been closed In Spo kane. Wash., by an eastern Urm for more than $000.000 worth of Washing ton ami Oregon apples for eastern and Muropean trade, and the purchaser ex pects to reach the .5l.OtKi.ooo mark lie fore returning home after looking over the orchards in central Idaho and western Montana. While in Spokane he bought the entire output of llrst and second grades grown in the Mead ow lake orchards, estimated at 30.000 boxes, previous to which he contracted for 00,000 boxes In the Hood river and M osier districts in Oregon, buying also 35,000 boxes from the Dumas or chards at Walla Walla. Wash., and 15,000 boxes from the orchards at Gar held. Wash. The purchaser said the price's receiv ed by the growers In the Hood rivet district were the highest ever paid for their fruit. His purchases there ag gregated more than $200,000. ami he paid as high as $2.50 a box. or 5 cents a pound, lie also paid $2.00 and in several instances $2, "."> a box for Washington apples of the Hrst grade. Much of the superiority of the west era apple over the product of the New York districts is in the picking ami packing. Growers fully understand these advantages, and that is when* they an? wise. Their fruit is picked ' ripe and carefully graded and honestly I packed, tho result being Hint buyers are pleased. There Is not the least danger that the growers In the northwest will over do the apple industry. They could not do that even by doubling or trebling the present orchard area. The apple crop of the United states was about 07,000,000 barrels in 1890, and in no year since then has it amounted to more thai) 35.000.000 barrels. The pres ent crop will not reach that figure. When it is considered that Hie pop ulation of the United Slates has in creased probably by 20.000.000 since 1800, while the apple production lias fallen from 07.000,000 to 35.000.000 bar rels, it can be readily seen that il Is out of question to think that (he apple growers in Washington, Oregon. Idaho. Montana ami Colorado can oversupply the ever increasing market. Utilizing Barn Manure. Many farmers are beginning to save their stable and lot manure and also to keep enough live? ste>ea\ to make ' large enough quantities to justify the use; of a spreader. There are few farmers even at this ' enlightened period w ho conserve all the available phi lit food oil their ? farms. There has been much Improve ment along this line? since* the days when barns we're built without base ments ami the? manure from the sta ble's was thrown outside, there to lench through summer rain ami winter snow. Much of the richness of this exposed fertilizer is soaked away into the sur roundlng soil with tho water from rain ami snow. Tho laud surrounding these manure piles was often so satu i.oaimxo a ItlAXUUK SPUEAOlVn. rate-el with Ibis WllSlO as to be unable to support plant life. The strength <d this absorbed fertilizer was more than plants could fe-e'el upon and live. Ex periment Ii is proved that manure thus exposed loses in a few months nearly or qilltO halt its vainer. With the building of barns with basement cellars a petition of tins wtiste was prevented, but much of the lbpilel Is still lost on most farms. Ce mented manure cellars are the excep tion, yet they pay a big dividend on money invested. Cement Is not expen sive. Sand can be founel on most farms, or at least would cost little, and any Intelligent man can mix It and spread it. With a cemented cellar and a proper use of absorbents the liepiitl can bo nearly all saved, and It is of more value than tho solid, being moro readily available for the use of plants. The illustration shows a munuro spreader being loaded at the bnrn. Sugar Beets and Boot Sugar. Though sugar can be extracted from many plants, the world's supply of sugar eomcs at present from only two plant species?sugar cano and sugar beets?and it comes about equally from each. The former Is grown only in tropical or subtropical climates, the latter only In temperate climates. The great bulk of tho beet sugar consumed Is made In European coun tries, Germany. Russia, Austria-Hun gary and France being the leading producers. Rut In recent ywr.rs the young and rapidly growing oeet sugar Industry of the United States has come Into prominence. There are now sixty-four active beet sugar factories In this country, locnted lu sixteen dif ferent states. Last year the farmers of these states harvested about 305,000 acres of beets and delivered to the factories 3,415,000 tons of beets. From these nearly 420,000 tons of refined sugar were made. The yield of sugai per acre of beets was 2,33? pounds, CLERKS SALE The State of South Carolina, County of Lnurcns. IN COl KT OF COMMON PLEAS. R, Lee Hunter, G. Wash Hunter. Mary 13.
