Mending Harness Traces.

Harness traces are liable to wear ont
at the ends, where they pass through the
metal hooks, while they are still sound
IN other parts. Any farmer can mend
them more economically than by taking
the work to a harness maker. Rip the
trace apart for six inches back from the
broken end, having first cut the end off
to sound leather. Then the straps are
shaved down to an edge at the ends, be-
ginning an inch from the ends.
New straps fourteen inches long
and as wide as the traces, having
their ends similarA shaved down, are
passed through the hooks and spliced
with the ends of the brace. They are
not put in together, but to alternate.
The splice is then fastened together with
copper rivets, row along each edge and
one down the middle, not opposite one
another, but thus:

Likes and Disrikes of Bees.


There is no doubt but that the exhala-
tons from some persons are offensive to
bees and cause of attack by them.
when other persons might come equally
near their hives without exciting their
animosity in the least. For such per
sons to undertake to keep bees would be
not only unpleasant but improbable.
Their numbers, however. are not great.
and quite as often the attacks of bees
are caused by the fear many persons
have of them, and by their striking at
the bees and dodging them, when if
they quietly came about the hives with
out making any quick or hostile mo-
tons they would be unmolested. 1t is
said that nervous people and such as
are addicted to the use of tobacco and
hquor never make successful bee keep
ers. To some persons the venom of the
bee IS serious poison. Such persons, of
course, had better not keep bees. Gen
orally speaking, frequent stings are the
result of the nervous condition of the in
dIvldual. Such a one By learning to con-
troll the nerves may become successful

Seven Years Experience with Ensilage.
Seven years experience with ensilage
at the Michigan Agricultural college
leads to the following conclusions: The
salo should be built of lumber and
located as near the feeding place
rs possible, and on the same level
A silo % feet deep, 10 feet wide,
IA feet long viii be sufficient for
the six months feeding of ten cows
weighing l 1000 pounds each, which will
consume 600 pounds of ensilage daily
For the silo the corn should not be har-
vested until well matured. A great
deal of the feeding value has been lost
In the past by cutting while too green
and succulent. Silage corn should never
be fed alone to obtain the best results.
nor in too large proportion when COM
bined with other fodder. Silage and
clover hay combined make most ex-
cellent mixture for coarse fodder. These,
with bran, shorts, corn meal, ETC., in
proper proportions make the most eco
nomical food for young cattle and for
