STEAM POWER ON FARMs.-There is
probably no single thing which illus
trates more clearly the progressiveness
of model farming, than the extent TO
which steam is now used in agricultu-
raj operations. Several influences
have contributed, more or less power
fully, to the result; prominent among
them being the economy in fuel se-
cured in the present style Of portable
engines, the safety with which they
can be managed by any person of ordi-
nary mental capacity, and the extensive
farming operations carried on by single
individuals in the Southern and West
ern States of the Union.

The Holland Government have used
the metric system in weights since 1917,
but by law compelled all scales TO be
adjusted to graduation of their own.
This caused more or less trouble
among their merchants and recently a
Board of Engineers was appointed to
recommend some improvement. As the
result of their observations the Govern
ment has just modified the law, and
adopted the plans of Fairbanks & Co.,
naming that make of scales the new
standard.

CLOVER AFTERGRowTH.-Wha is the
best course to pursue with the after
growth of clover where, as in my case,
there Is not sufficient stock to feed it
down? If the clover is allowed to seed
and TO stand through the winter, will
the crop next year be satisfactory
When the clover comes in luxurlant
punches, crowding out the red-tOp and
other grasses, is ii well to pass the
scythe over them? Moving and feed
ing down are similar In their effect. As
much of the clover crop consists in the
roots, second moving does not exhaust
it; and il it prevents the ripening of
seed it may prove positive advantage
by preventing the exhaustion of matur-
ing seed. If the land is not rich an au-
tumn top dressing would be we'll repaid
by the increased crop. Some excellent
farmers neither NOW nor feed down the
second crop, but allow it to fall and rot
on the ground in autumn, or else NOW
il to prevent seed forming, when il
serves both as manure and as a mulch
for the protection OF the roots. 1t is
well to pass a reaper foot over pastures,
cutting the seedy tops of the ripe grass
and giving the animals more ready ac-
cess to the green herbage below.

AGRICULTURE.

SHELTERING VEHICLES AND MACHINES.
notwithstanding the number Of carts,
and moving machines. and horse-rakes,
and other tools that we see standing by
the roadside or In the field, the year
round, most farmers believe in the
economy of housing all these things.
They know that iron rusts, and that
woodwork swells and shrinks with the
changes of the atmosphere. They
think it is only question of time that
the new carriage-hOuse or shed shall be
built, where the scattered tools and ve-
hicles will have q permanent home.
This waiting to provide the needed
shelter is the most expensive kind Of
saving. The elements are all the while
at work, depreciating the value of the
wood and iron that are exposed to the
weather. A scythe and snath hung in
tree through one season Is old, warped
and rusty. Stored in the toOl-roOm, it
is little changed i'm look or value; no
repairs are wanted, and it is ready for
use as soon as the grass is ready. The
new cart that is left by the roadside
soon goes to pieces; even if painted the
paint soon wears of; the sun cracks
paint and wood, the heat expands the
cracks, the rain enters the openings,
and decay commences, the joints become
loose, the felloes and spokes shrink in
in the dry weather, and the tire must be
set often TO keep the vehicle in running
order. Farmers often overestimate the
expense of tool or wagon house. II
they have timber or building ston
upon their farms, very little money
need be laid out to put all running
gear under cover. A roof and siding
to keep out rain is the main thing.
Flooring is not needed. The bare earth
under all wooden wheels with tires, ii
dry, will answer instead of plank.
just enough moisture is absorbed from
the earth to keep the wheel in good
condition. The tire will not need set
ting so often. A shed set upon a bank
wall makes good shelter, and is within
reach of most farmers.

the conductor reached her, and would
have lost it again If he hadn't taken 1t

place, her hair tumbled down again,
and as soon as she got her hair twisted
up, and harpOOned i'm with q couple OF

she got of at New Prague, she tucked
the gaping valise under her arm, and
