Helpful Hints
From the American Aynculturis'.l }


When oats or other feed get low in the
granary, instead of straining to reach
them nail stout strip to II bucket or box
with which they can be easily lifted. A
horse of mine takes especial delight in
rolling IN mud or manure. | tie an old
brOom-stick to the curry-cOmb and stand
off at II clean and safe distance until | get
the worst of it removed. If in plough
ing the landslide horse is a lazy one and
crowds over against the one in the fur
rows, take an inch board about six inches
square, and through hole in the centre
drive wooden pin sharpencd at one end.
Tie this to the back-band of the furrow
horse so that the lazy one will strike it
every time he crowds, and he will soon
get tired of doing so. Always have ON
hand paper Of copper rivets OF assorted
sizes and piece of oiled leather for cut
ting strings to keep the harness meuded
with then breaks can be readily mend
ed, or those threatened in tugs, lines,
straps, etc, either by rivcting or sewing
with Il stout leather string. When cali
persists i'll sucking after being separated
from its dam for several weeks, take an
old halter and through the strap passing
around i'll front of the nose put nails,
having the points filed sharp and stand
ing outward. A piece of leather sewed
over the heads keeps the nails in place
With this halter on the calf the COW will
kick and keep it at distance, and it will
soon give up in disgust. Formerly | was
often annoyed and delayed by the loosen
ing Of nuts on cOultcrs or rolling cutter
until | hit upon the plan of putting leath
er washers under the nuts, which stopped
their working loose. If at work. Il field
where you cannot place the Jug Of drink
ing water in the shade set it in the furrow
throw Il bunch of grass over the mouth tC
keep it clean, and plough the Jug under.
The ground will shield it from the hot
sun, and being cool and damp will help
keep the water cool. In ploughing, t.
keep dirt out of the shoes, take the leg,
Of an old pair of trousers and cut of
pieces about foot long. At opposite
points of each sew two strings. Draw
the pieces on over tine shoes, tie th'
| strings down underneath just III front oI
| the heel. Then fasten the upper ends %
the pieces around above the ankles witt
elastic garters. For marker to lay of
corn rows among stumps, put two wagoi
wheels on an axle of a length to keep tn,
wheels Just the distance apart the row
are desired. Any stout stick Of wood
will do for the axle. Fix on a seat to rid,
If desired This marker will pass owe
ordinary stumps, and lean be easily turue,
to avoid those directly in the way OF
wheel.
