A third block with single pul
sometimes called "snatch bloc
may be attached independently to
anchor stump or to some other |
down anchorage, and the rope G pa
under the pulley before attaching the

down and give the team much better
chance to plant their feet firmly on the
ground.
By using long cable in place of
chain to connect the tree and block B,
an anchorage may be made at greater
| distance from the tree, as circumstances
may indicate.
You also send me letter which
asks: "What kind of cable?"-"How
many trees may be pulled by two men
and team in an hour?"-and "What do
the pulley blocks cost?'
One and half inch rope is what l
use that ! call cable. The rapidity
with which man can take bitches
and tie he knots IN the rope will large
ly determine the numbe of trees which
may be uprooted in an hour. 1t is
difficult to describe here the various
quick knots an d bitches which an ex-
pert may make in rope, but most
neighborho DDS have some "old tar" or
other competent man who will gladly
teach these bitches.
BY reference to journal kept at the

and came out readily by pull of the

done more quickly thaha could have
been if we had waited to attach the

good average. Mr. Robinson can get
his land hand-grubbed for nine dollars

TERMINATING NUTS.
Store Them During Winter In Sand in the
Open Ground.

Store Them During Winter In Sand in the
Open Ground.
The only reason why many persons
fail to make such nuts as pecans,
hickory, English walnuts and chest
nuts germinate when planted is that
they allow them to get thoroughly
dried before they are placed in the
ground. For pecans, shellbark.
hickory, butternuts, filberts, and
other hard-shell kinds there is no
better place to store them during
winter than in heaps of sand piled up
on some shady spot in the open ground.
First place layer of the nuts, then
layer of sand, then layer of nuts, and
proceed III this way until your stock of
nuts is exhausted, and cover the heap
with six inches of good soil or sods,
and leave all undisturbed until spring,
then take out the nuts and plant in
drills, If there is danger of mice and
squirrels carrying away the nuts, place
them in well drained boxes, covering
with wire netting. Chestnuts may be
stored in the same way, but the sand
should be clean and She boxes set
where the water from melting ssews
will quickly drain off. Fresh imported
English walnuts buried in the fall or
any time in the carly winter will
usually germinate quite freely. I'm
ported flberts are sometimes gathered
before quite mature, and for this rea-
son fail to grow, but If the kernels are
plump when obtained there is no
danger of failure if kept cool and moist

ON The SANDS.

: 9orambled down to Cornish porth
When the tide ebbed low on the golden
~ strand
And idly dreaming wandered forth
Ger the level stretch OF sand.
And 1t seemed as paced the yellow plain
Kissed by the blue Atlantic there,
Like picture of this worlds pleasure and
pain
And of mans small journey here;
A page for the print Of lires progress, made
BY the ageless sea for the sons of men
Who labor and deve like the child with his
spade
For the tide to level again.
Here the boy builds castles with ramparts
brave,
Daring the storm from his turrets gay,
And the ocean sends him one laughing wave
And washes them all away.
There the youth starts forth and his pride
awakes
At the thought of an untrod world to win,
Till he finds that each needless step he takes
Has trodden its record In.
Then the man cres: "This is q wildernessi"
See, he searched the sands for some YES.
tige human,
Till he found a footprint whose way was his,
The small light step of womanl
Then look what change in their gait and
pace,
From weary trudge to lightsome spring,
AS onward together the smooth sands trace
Their rhythmical journeying.
Here once, it seems for awhile by theirs
The tiny feet Of child ALT,
But squall must have caught them unawares
And swept them away with 1t.
Yet forward ever those footsteps go
Der furrow and ridge still side by side.
Sometimes fa!terng, faint and slow,
But always out towards the tide
Stopl here they severed awhile -and look
How they tried, with tears TO blot the trace
In vain;-we can write in the sands great
book
But only the sea can efface.
And at last the Golden bay is crossed
To the ripping marge of the shadowy deep,
And the footprints OF their lives are lost
In the oceans purple sleep.
LostH But Is there no further shore,
No new found land of our later faith?
Have they walked the waves like Peter Of
yore
To o life transcending deathi
We ask. We have asked through the endless
years,
And prayed till we fancy our prayer is heard,
But the ocean smiles at our hopes and fears
And answers III never word.

She Returned the Compliment.

There is a curious marriage custom
IN Brittany. At the close of the we'd
ding ceremony the bridegroom gives
the bride box on the ear, saying;
"That is how it feels when you make
me vexed," after which he kisses her,
adding, "and thus when you treat me
we'll"
A Breton once married German lass
from Suabia, and gave her the usual
salute on leaving the altar. But the
resolute damsel, ignorant of the pre-
vailing custom, without waiting for
the kiss, dealt her swain tremen-
dous clout on the side of the face and
said:
"Look here, I'll have none of that!''
The young fellow rubbed his cheek,
and knew now, at least, that his better
half would not stand any nonsense

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

IT is important that corn be dry be-
fore storing it in the crib, and it will
lose weight even after it has been
stored.
GROUND dried fish is very cheap
fertilizer compared with its advantages,
and is an excellent material for adding
to the compost-heap.
IT is claimed that green apples fed to
hogs is source of hog cholera. Ripe
apples, however, are fed to all classes
of stock without danger.
A BONE slowly decays, and it is a
waste to attempt to utilize bones un-
less they are ground or reduced in some
manner, as bones give off their parti-
cles very slowly.
POTATOES should never be marketed
unless assorted. Uniformity of size
and appearance will benefit both the
buyer and seller. 1t is the small pota-
toes that injure sales and return low
prices.

CRAB grass is highly relished by all
classes of stock when it is young, but
it is a persistent weed that takes full

they are not desired are weeds, and
