How TO Ger THE REAPxR THROUGH
THE GATE. flow to get the reaper or
self binder through the ordinary farm
gateway has no doubt, been puzzl'ng
problem with many afsrmer. With the
gateway less than 15 feet in the clear,
the seif-binder will not pass without
resorting to the use of trucks, which are
expensive and consume good deal of
precious time in getting ready to use
them. The writer has way of getting
rid of all the extra trouble and expense.
The show to do 1T" Is not patented, and
is herewith given for the benefit of all
whom it may concern. First raise your
machine as high as you can get 1t; this
is important, and is always best in NOV
ing from one place to another. Next,
drive your team into the gateway, 90
that the binding apparatus will go
within four or five feet of the post on
that side. Stop your team just before
the machine runs against Sawyer, T"
Now, let two men take hold of the light
end of the machine and raise it up until
that end will pass over the top OF the
fences; start up your team gently and
your machine will roll through. You
will Gnd it easy to tip your machine
high enough to pass over an ordinary
post or fence, as the weight of the
binder helps you very much.

PROFIT IN CHICKEN RAISING. The
remark is often heard that small lot of
chickens. or large lot for that matter.
cost more than they come to. Speaking
of this the other day a patron of the
Farmer said that two years ago he pur
chased two dozen well-bred chickens,
and opened regular account with
them, determined to test the truth Of
the saying referred to. Events so
turned that during the succeeding win
ter he was unable to give the fowls the
care needed, and lost number in con-
sequence, but nevertheless the account
steadily kept for the period of two years
showed handsome balance on the side
of profit. With a poor management
chickens will prove a loss, as would
anything else, but when they are prop
erly cared for there is not the slightest
reason why they will not prove largely
remunerative.

Tar VAL6E or SHEEP The different
ways that sheep may be utilized, and
the different profits that may berealized
from them. make them pre-eminently
the stock best suited to the changes
constantly taking place in our markets.
There is a never-ceasing rotation in the
line of profit and favoritism among the
different kinds OF stock, and at present
the sheep interest seems TO be down;
but the rotation will soon bring sheep
on top again. Sheep are valuable be-
cause yielding a. double profit, the wool
and the carcass; and this alone VIII
always make them favorite with nu-
merous class of our farmers. And, be-
sides, an increasing yearly demand in
market for good fat early lambs points
to another factor in sheep culture which,
with care, may be made profitable.
Their utility IN the farm economy is q
consideration of much Importance in
determining whether they shall retain
their position among the farm stock.
That they are the best adapted of all
stock to assist in renovating rundown
farm and increasing the fertility of any
land is generally admitted, And in
considering them IN the different points
of profit and utility all must be con-
vinced that they have o fixed place
among farm stock which eau be filled
by nothing else, and that although they
both may and will pass through depres
sions like the present one, still that
place will always be retained.
