BETTER WAGONS WANTED.

''Dynamometer tests with wagons, /"
ide by the Utah Experiment Station
Logan), indicate that there is ga de-
led opportunity for improvement" of
.se vehicles in various ways, as set
tn in Bulletin No. 4, which, we pre-
ne, would be forwarded to auy appli-
Int specially interested in the subject.
g summary of conclusions, condensed
IN nineteen pages of interesting data,
IS follows:
li'Whcn the load was placed over the
id wheels it drew 10 per cent. easier
IN when over the front wheels. Q.
e hind wheels drew 1873 per cent.
Ter over an obstacle 3 in. high than
front wheels. This was when attach
ut of me force was directly applied to
lIh set of wheels. 3. The hind wheels,
EN- drawn over an obstacle by the usual
| eh, drew only IL per cent. easier than
4 fore wheels. 4. When the ends of
wagon were reversed, and the draft
J applied directly to the hind wheels,
lrew nearly per cent. easier. 8. The
I iine of the reach toward the front
HEELS, rs now put in, causes the wagon
lraw harder than it should. 6. Lower
the reach or the point of application
ON the hind wheels materially
reaSes the draft-therefore the reach
nld run horizontally or on an upward
inc from the rear to the front wheels.
Higher front wheels will reduce draft.
SiThe change of the angle of draft MS
5ilied from the end of the pole varied
Idraft very markedly, and the relation

akels. 8. A long hitch,o or such hitch
alcaurs when lead horses are used, in.
iises draft on account of the angle of
hitch. 10. Loose burrs with one
or more inches play lessen the draft

Abrence was found between the draft
dhree wagons. IL. Draft varied with
jlvarieties of grease used, from nothing
Al7 per cent.-lard proving the best or
i Etically the same as manufactured
grease and but q little better than

Making Farm Land Paw.

In Great Britain 1b1, 372 farmers Gull
tivate farms of more than five and less
than twenty acres. Comparatively few
of these "holdings," as the farms are
called. are owned by the farmer, for in
the 409, 422 holdings of less than fifty
acres in the whole country only $40
are owned by the occupiers. When we
remember that these farmers pay a rental
of from S25 to $50 per acre for this land
it seems incredible that they can live and
support their families. It must be re-
membered, too, that much of this land
has been under cultivation for over one
thousand years. Much more of it was
bog and waste land four hundred years
ago. 1t is an axiom with the English
that the farmer makes his soil. This is
the secret of his ability to live under such
circumstances. The American farmer
grows poor on many acres because it
might be maxim with us that the far.
mer wastes his SOIL Western .Stockman

rune the tree close, straighten out roots
yenly, having the tree standing the

inch or two, then press the soil very
rmly down with the foot or broad

lches deep, extending three feet every

put on or not, keep the soil we'll cult

bluff south Of Boise was appraised at
$4,000 and will be sold in small sub
divisions. Squatters on school lands
are given no preference in the sale, the
presumption being that they took their
chances when making settlement.

sold with the land, if there are any bid
ders at the appraised value, and the
proceeds turned over to the former
occupants if bought in by an outsider.

There is nothing low or mean about
the average Caldwell hog, but he knows
his rights and dares maintain them.
Our friend Carter has a ell-behaved
hog in pen back of his residence
which has heretofore been recognized as
a peaceful and law abiding citizen
| like the rest of us. Last Sunday night
after retiring to his lowly but virtuOus
couch under his own vine and fig tree
| where none should modest or make him
afraid, 4 hobo, who had been fired out
Of saloon looked with envious eyes
upon the warm, comfortable quarters.
The night being chilly said h. b. decided
to force himself on his hogship as bed
fellow, and accordingly did so. Upon
finding his sacred precincts invaded,
Mr.. Hog grunted and obligingly made
room for the other one, and the two
We're soon sweetly sleeping locked in
fond embrace. Presently the intruder
in turning over pushed the hog clear
out of bed. This is more than even a
polite and cultured pig could stand and
he retaliated by biting his bed fellow
on the leg. At this the hobo lost his
temper and attempted to lnflict a severe
chastisement upon his bed fellow.
Finding the pen too low to work to
good advantage he got up and. over
turned it to give him better chance
to wreck his vengeance. The pig pro-
tested wildly and awoke Mr.. Carter,
who hurried out, had the marshal ar
rest Mr.. Hobo for attempting to steal
his pig. Explanations followed, and
the marshal being convinced that no
theft was intended turned the prisoner
loose. The hog was so insulted that
he wouldn't look at him, and went back
to bed breathing vengeance upon the
next man that attempted to force his
company upon him.
