them on to the wagon. The lower
pieces are of oak or hickory, two inches
wide, two and one-half inches thick
and three feet long. The ends are cut
to the form of handles from the under
side, so that when the platform is
placed on the ground, the handles will
be about an inch above, thus leaving
room for a man to place his fingers un-
der in grasping the handles. Across
these two pieces are nailed two one
inch oak fencing boards, two feet long.
The stones are rolled upon this plat
form, and two men can easily handle
them. This is much easier on the
hands than lifting by taking hold of
the stone itself-George II. Shull, in

DON'TS FOR FARMERS.
Avoid disappointment by Paying Heed
to These Suggestions.

Avoid disappointment by Paying Heed
to These Suggestions.
Do not feed rotten or affected rota-
toes to your cows this fall unless you
want them to yield milk of like charac-
ter. AS intelligent dairymen you must
see the force of this truth, and yet we
have known men highly capable on
other subjects whose judgments were
painfully warped about feeding rotten
trash to mich cows.
They seem to have thought that it
was economy to save decaying vege-
tables in this way, and forgot that a
cow was not n sausage machine
through which could be ground with
profit the odds and ends of the prem
ises.
Do not be satisfied with your work
when filling your silo this season until
you have it as nearly alright as posi-
bic. We have seen silage come out
splendidly where no stamping down
was done, but the fodder was packed in
firmly and closely and settled by its
own weight, the silo walls of course
being impervious A well-constEucted
ing qualities of its contents than does
the artistic packing of the fodder.
Do not put more cows onto your hired
mems hands than they can milk with
out physical discomfort. 1t is not for
your financial interests to do so. Some
men can milk twelve cows comfortably
where others would have tired hands
and arms at the eighth animal. Tired
human muscles cannot properly drain
the milk from the cows udder
DO not allow yourself to be SO short
sighted and poor a breeder as to always
employ the services of yearliug bull
Some dairymen think it very funny and
also a money making scheme t. have Il
yearling bull to fatten and kill every
fall after he has done service in the
herd. Then it is argued these year
lings are seldom ugly, and do not snort
and below and chase you about the
fields to the danger of your life. THIS
part of it is all very fine, but you caa
never perpetuate good stock by the
policy.
Do not consider it foolish to put your
cows in the stable over night as soon as
the nights become frosty. If left to lie
in the field through white frost they
arise in the morning stiff and rheu-
matte, with udders shrunken and con-
tanning but little milk. A stable fod-
dering at night, with shelter and dry,
warm bedding upon which to lie will
produce opposite effects. Dairymen
who have silver to jingle in their peck
cts are all ''onto" this fact.
Do not expect a good mich COW to
become beef fat while she is yielding
milk in prolific quantities Beef is not
in her line of duty while she is serving
you with milk. A good mich animal
is comparatively lean ne.--George

Business Training for Children.

1t would be good plan if every child
Did enough to read and write were
taught to keep bank account, giving
his father his little hoard to keep, and
openings regular account with him.
The child should have his small bank
book In which his father might enter
allmoneys that he receives from him, and
which should be balanced from time to
time like an ordinary handbook When
he wants money he should draw reg
ular check on his father, and when his
book is balanced he should receive his
vouchers in due form. Besides this he
should keep an account-book of private
expenditures. In this way he would ac-
quire practical knowledge of how to
take care of money, and of the value of
it, and would learn business-lile habits
that would stand him in good stead in
after life.-N. Y. Tribune

chard bore a good crop of cherries,
while other growers in the valley who
had no bees found their crops entire or
partial failures. This year US9D
Messrs. BassfOrd had some siXty-five
hives of bees in their orchard, and Mr..
ii. A. Bassford writes to the Entomol-
ogist: Our crop was good this season,
and we attribute it to the bees" And
he adds further: Since we have been
keeping bees our cherry crop has been
much larger than formerly. 'ghile those
orchards nearest US, five miles from
here, where no bees are kept have pro-
duced but light crops
In conclusion we may say that, in the
cuts we give. the worker bee alone
causes the fertilization of bloom. The
queen is the mother bee, the drone the
male, and the workers are the neuters
who gather honey from flowers.

PiG-PEN POINTERS.

Fyou are fond of picked pigs feet,
better see that the feet are not picked
in uncomfortable filth while growing.
Clean out the pens.
Hoes are at all ages more nearly a
cash commodity than any other stock
upon the farm. They can find buyers
at any time, from the day they are lit
tered until they are ready for the
pork barrel.
ALMOST all the refuse of the garden
may be profitably transferred TO the
pig pen. Pea vines, small Irish and
sweet potatoes, soft heads of cabbage
and refuse leaves. may all help toward
the economical production OF pork.

a Little Dutch Girl and Her Really Won
derful Scissors.
More than two hundred years ago q
little girl was born at amsterdam, in
Holland. who was named 1oanne KOer-
ten. She was peculiar child in that
she cared nothing whatever to play and
sport, but found her greatest delight in
making copies of things about her. imi-
tating in wax every kind of fruit, and
making on silk, with colored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings, which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very accom-
plished in music. spinning and embroi-
derry she abandoned all these for a still
more extraordinary art--that of cutting.
One is seized with establishment in look
ing at her work, for all that the en-
graver accomplishes with the graver
She affected with her scissors.
She executed landscapes. marine
views, flowers. animals and portraits of
people of such striking resemblance
that she was for time quite the won

great many people went to see her
and she kept book in which princes
and princcsses wrote their names.
After she died, which was when she
had lived sixty-five years, her husband,
Adrian Block, erected a monument 20
her memory and had designed upon it
the portraits of all these titled visitors.
Her cuttings were so correct in eff ,ct
and so tasteful as to give both dignity
and value to her work and constitute

gentlemen of long and extensive ex-
perience in fruit growing, recognized
in their locality as being authorities,
particularly in regard TO cherry Gull
ture. The facts are these: For sew
eral years the cherry crop of Vaca
valley, in Solano county, Cal, has not
been good, although it was formerly
quite sure. The partial or complete
failures have been attributed to north
winds, chilling rains and similar
climatic conditions, but in the minds
of Messrs. Bassford, of Cherry Glen,
these causes did not sufficiently account
for all the cases of failure.
These gentlemen recollected that for
merly when the cherry crops were good
wild bees were very plentiful in the
valley, and hence thought perhaps the
lack of fruit since most of the bees had
disappeared might be due to imperfect

FOR CARRYING STONE.
A Device for Lifting Heavy Articles Into
Farm Wagons.

The use of a stoneboat or drag in
clearing a field of surface rocks is the
best way of doing it, if the stones are
to be removed only to an adjoining
fence-row. But if they are to be hauled
to some particular place for use as a
wall or foundation for buildings, it be-
comes necessary to take larger loads to
save time. A great many of these
stones are too heavy for one man to
lift, and in such shape that two men
can scarcely work with them at the
same time. A farmer of this section who
occasionally has the hauling of mig
ger-head' stones to do, uses a kind of
platform as shown in the cut for lifting

The Busy Little Insects Are Indispen.
sable to Fruit Growers.
Mr.. Frank Benton, in Insect Life,
takes up the question that bees are in
dispensable to fruit growers, as fol-
lows:
Beekeepers have never complained
but that the growing of fruit in the
vicinity of their apiaries was a great
benefit to their interests, hence their
position has been merely defensive
one. the battle waxing warm only when
poisonous subtances We're set out to kill
off the bees, or when fruit growers
sprayed their orchards with poison
Gus insecticides during the time the
trees were in blossom, or again when
efforts were made to secure, by legis-
lation, the removal of bees from GER
tain locality as nuisances.

them, they cracked under the action of
sun and rains, and hail sometimes cut
them, the bees only coming in to save
the was ting juices of the injured fruit
The wide publicity given to the results
of the experiments made under the d.
rection of the United States entomolo-
gist, and published in the report of the
commissioner of agriculture for 1855,
have no dout contributed much to Sc
cure this change among fruit growers.
But now it would appear that the
bees have not only been indicated,
but that in the future fruit growers
are likely to be generally regarded as
more indebted to bee keepers than the
latter are to fruit growers, for the
amount of honey the bees secure from
fruit blossoms comes far short of equal
ing in value that part of the fruit crop
which many accurate observations and
experiments indicate is due to the
complete Decentralization of the
blossoms by bees. The observations
and researches of Hide brand, Muller,
Delpino, Darwin and others, as well
as the excellent explanation of the
subject in Cheshire's recent
work have gone far to prove how
greatly blossoms depend upon the
agency of bees for their fertilization
and hence for the production of seeds
and fruits
The facts they have brought forward
are praduallv bacOmin0 more widely
