home again. He had relinquished that no.
ton OF attempting II new business life. which
had briefly revived In his mind: the same
causes that had operated against 1t in the be-
ginning controlled and defeated it now. He
felt himself too old to begin life over: his ener-
giles were spent Such as he had been. he had
made himself very slowly and cautiously. in
familiar conditions: he had never been man OF

and launch himself In new career as q man
OF different make might have done. even at his
age. Perhaps there had been some lesion Of
the will In that fever OF his at Ha Ha Bay which
disabled him from forming any distinct pur.

purpose as he did form. Perhaps he was, in
his helplessness. merely OF that refugee type

the deepening tragedy Of the case. and the in

There seemed indeed but one remedy for the

perately homesick the man must have been

"Dynamometer tests with wagons, "
made by the Utah Experiment Station
lat Logan, indicate that there is ga de-
cided opportunity for improvement" of
these vehicles in various ways, as set
forth in Bulletin No. 4, which, we pre-
sumo, would be forwarded to any appli-
cant specially interested in the subject.
The summary of conclusions, condensed
from nineteen pages of interesting data,
is as follows:
"When the load was placed over the
hind wheels it drew 10 per cent. easier
than when over the front wheels. Q.
The hind wheels drew 1878 per cent.
easier over an obstacle 8 in. high than
the front wheels. This was when attach
ment of the force was directly applied to
each set of wheels. 3. The hind wheels,
when drawn over an obstacle by the usual
hitch, drew only IL per cent. easier than
the fore wheels. 4. When the ends of
the wagon were reversed, and the draft
was applied directly to the hind wheels,
it dry nearly s per cent. easier. s. The
inc&dS of the reach toward the front
wheels, as now put in, causes the wagon
to draw harder than it should. 6. Lower
ing the reach or the point of application
. of force on the hind wheels materially
decreases the draft-therefore the reach
should run horizontally OF on an upward
incline from the rear to the front wheels.
q. Higher front wheels will reduce draft.
s. The change of the angle of draft as
applied from the end of the pole varied
(, the draft very markedly, and the relation
of the draft of the front to the rear
wheels. 8. A long hitch, or such hitch
as occurs when lead horses are used, in
creases draft on account of the angle of
the hitch. TO- Loose burrs with one
half or more inches play lessen the draft
of the load By AS per cent. H. Little
difference was found between the draft
of three wagons. ID. Draft varied with
the varieties of grease used, from nothing
to IL per cent.-lard proving the best or
practically the same as q manufactured
axle grease and but little better than
cylinaer oil. 13. The draft of varying
roadssand conditions of road varied very
markedly-being between the best and
the poorest classes of local roads, nearly
800 per cent. in difference. In this trial
neither the best nor the poorest roads
were available, or only such as are found

CARRIAGE wIrnour rRANseIANrrso.

There are two ways of raising cabbage
In the open ground. One is by trans
planting plants, the other by sowing the
seed in the hills or drills just where the
cabbage is to be grown. If the plants
have been started in hotbeds or ccld
frames for an carly crop or are to occupy
land as second crop, it is necessary
that they should be transplantcd; but If
1t is to be the one crop of the season on
the land it is to occupy, then it is the
belief OF the farmers in the great cabbage
raising sections of New England that the
best plan is to plant the seed Just where
the cabbage is to be grown. Experience
has taught us that by this plan the piece
natures more evenly than when the
plants are transplanted, while they are
certainly us reliable for headisg, for
when 100 per cent. of tho plants make
marketable heads-as have known in
stances-nothing better can be asked.
Those who have been In tho habit of
transplanting cauliflowers will find they
will do decidedly better when the seeds
are planted in the hills where they are
to be matured. A plan now somewhat
common among market gardeners is to
drill the seed of cabbage sufficiently
thick that by cutting out the extra
plants with the hoe the remainder will
be left at the distances suitable. This re-
quires more seed. while it saves good
deal of time and back-breaking work.
The great defect in this manner of plant
ing has been that it left the seed too
thick, much thicker than WINS necessary
for the ends desired. In my planting in
the drill we used last season the Mathews
seed drill. My foreman made an in
genious change in its dropping capacity,
which is worth putting on record. He
removed the wheel which has about
twelve projections that as it revolves
keep the seed agitator in motion, and
boring four holes at equal intervals in
serted four projections on the opposite
side and then set back in place, but in a
reversed position. The result was one
revolution caused the agitator to move
four times instead of twelve, and the
seed was fed just about rs thick as
wanted. Very often a little change or
improvement can be made in an nipple
ment by the farmer or gardener using it
that will add much to its value. -An,cri-

Making Farm Land Pay.

In Great Britain 151, 1872 farmers cul-
tivatc farms of more than five and less
than twenty acres. Comparatively few
of these "holdings," as the farms arc
called. are owned by the farmer, for in
the 400, 422 holdings of less than fifty
acres in the whole country only 55,74O
are owned by the occupiers. When VIC
remember that these farmers pay rental
of from S25 to $50 per acre for this land
it seems incredible that they can live and
support their families. 1t 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 a maxim with us that the far
mer wastes his SOIL Western Stockman

one of the most profitable, fruits is
the buffalo berry. There flourish in the
State three varieties of cherries, two
of raspberries, one of currants, one Of
juneberry, one of strawberry and one
of wild grape, the fruitage being the
largest in North Dakota, where the
plants are dwarfcd.
