NOW scheme OF HaymalIng.

Now It Is a wonder somebody hadn't
thought OF this before. or whatY
Why, OF harvesting hay just as grain
is harvested. Judge Davis has tried
IL on his farm near Mineral Point
The reaper and binder introduced
into field of timothy grass worked
splendidly. The sheaves OF grass
cured rapidly in shock, the hay was
free from the sand and dirt that are
usually collected from raking the
ground, retained much more Of It's
sweetness, tenderness, and aroma
than II treated by the old scattering
and bleaching process and Judge
Davis says the hay is not only worth
81 per ton more than II harvested In
the usual way, but that both ex-
pense and labor were saved. Now,
why didn't somebody think of all this
years ago?-Columbu Journal.

shot the Tomatoss.

The family had stewed tomatoes
for dinner and one Of the diners
found something round and hard in a
spoonful OF the vegetable. 1t turned
out to be drop OF solder that had
fallen In when the can was being
sealed. 1t was shown to the baby
with the explanation that it was a
pretty little bullet. Then the baby,
who happens to be boy of about A
years and very much interested In
guns, looked up and asked:
"Do they shoot tomatoes to kill
'em?"-Columbus Dispatch.

sheep shearIng.

SHEEP are good feeders; there Is no
class OF animals that feed on so many
kinds of heritage.
WHILE it costs as much to feed a
poor sheep as it does a good one il
certainly does not pay as well.
LET the rams run with the cattle
rather than with the sheep during the
spring and during the summer.
SOME years sheep will paw better
than others and IL is difficult to sell
outand buy in just at the right time.
A ROCKY hillside makes healthier
pasture than low lands and is COM
paratively level and always moist.
KEEPING sheep on short pasture
will prove as Improbable as with any
other class of stock kept on the farm.
OK 720 acres of land Dakota
sheep breeder has raised 1000 sheep
and cut the hay and grazed through
the season.
1T is often the case that one or two
dogs will wipe out In one night all Of
the profits OF flock OF sheep for the
season.

While salt. or chloride, one OF its
principal elements, II used in excess
I is injurious to vegetation, 1T appears
that there are soils in which mod
crate quantity is beneficial. Chloride
and sodium, the elements OF salt, are
both found in small quantities in the
composition of plants Some years
ago, the Connecticut Agricultural
Experiment Station, found that an
excess upon the tobacco crop was an
iniury.t to the burn and quality OF the
leaf. But nearly all writers on agri-
cultural chemicals recommend its use
In moderate quantities. Stockhardt
says: 'Small quantities OF common
salt are found In almost every spring
OF water. in every soil, in every plant.
We find it everywhere, because it Is
indispensable to the life OF animals
and plants" Liebig found that a
moderate use of salt, with ammonia
salts, Increased every crop. Johnson,
a high English authority In his day,
states that plants require salt, and IL
1t is present in the soil the plants get
It; IL added under such conditions, an
injury might result, but II there is
deficiency, an application would in
crease the crop. All American au-
thorities agree upon the point that in
small quantities it may be applied to
soils and be of benefit whereas IL ap-
piled too excessively, it will be in
furious or absolutely destructive. 1t
is believed that an excess of salt in a
soil where potatoes are grown, re-
duces the amount of starch and, as a
consequence, Injuries the quality Of
the potato Salt should therefore be
used with some considerable caution.

Turkeys.

The frequent remark that the
turkey hen will have better success
in raising her young if she is allowed
to carry them to the fields and man
age them in her own way, is true so
far as the young turkeys are con-
cerned after they have reached the
age OF ten or twelve weeks, but the
turkey hen is just as unfortunate
with very young turkeys as are the
persons who take charge Of the hens
and broods The fact is that young
turkeys are very susceptible to damp
ness and as they feather very rapidly
they require plenty of heterogeneous
and mineral food, which must be sup
piled. 1t happens that the turkey
hen sometimes secures a greater
variety of suitable food when she is
running at large than when confined,
which accounts for her success some
times The greatest loss of young
turkeys is due to the large grey lice,
which work on the heads and Threats,

Some PsCuliarities OF Birds and Animal

Some Psculiarities OF Birds and Animals.
Some animals exhibit a queer lack
Of sense" says a man who has observed
them. Put buzzard In pen about
six feet square and open at the top, and
it is as much a prisoner as though it
were shut up in box. This Is because
buzzards always begin their flight by
taking a short run. and they either can
not or will rot attempt to fly unless they
can do SO. Again, take a common bum
blebee and put it In a goblet. 1t will
remain a prisoner for hours, trying to
escape through the sides, without ever
thinking of escaping from the top. So
also bat cannot rise from q perfectly
level surface. Although 1t Is remark
ably nimble In its flight when on the
wing, and can fly for many hours at a
time without taking the least rest, II
placed on the floor or on fat ground 1t
is absolutely unable to use its wings.
The only thing it can do is to shuttle
helplessly and painfully along until It
reaches some trifiing elevation, from
which 1t can throw itself into the air,
when at once it is off like fash. New

If the plum trees are Jared daily,

plum trees in the poultry yard, so as
to have the hens limited in space

plan, when feeding in the orchard, to
scatter a spoonful OF wheat around
each tree. so as TO induce the hens To
scratch around them, which will soon
become a habit. In so doing, they
secure insects and destroy them.

Unthinking people suppose that big
cities grow like Jelly fishes. GRADUALLY

they don't. They cover the ground iust
as crop Of parsley spreads over a new

The various root centers are plainly
discerniDle about Chicago, and the vacant
spaces between them are Just as plain.
Leave the city and you run through a

firsned against the protest of Roscoe
