Jefferson and the PlOw.

Thomas Jefferson invented the
modern pillow. There were plows Of
course, thousands of years before the
time Of the sage of Monticello. but he
first laid down the mathematical
principles that underlie the construc-
ton Of the pillow, and 50 enabled any
blacksmith to make tone. A pillow
consists OF two wedges, a cutting and
lifting wedge, and Jefferson discov-
cred and enuncated the proportions
of each and the relation each bore to
the other. Before his day no two
smiths made plows alike, now they
are all made in accordance with a
mathematical formula St Louis

Farm Notes.

BEGIN spraying early and spray fire.
QuentlY, for there are many enemies
to the orchard.
TURNIP and radish feas can fire.
quently be held in subsection by DUST
ing them with wood ashes.
CABBAGE and tomato plant can
sometimes be protected from the cut
worm by wrapping a stiff paper
around the stems before planting.
CURE clover hay as carefully as DOS
sible. 1t is excellent feed when nice
ly cured, but loses much of its value
IL leached in curing or handling when
50 dry that its leave fall of badly.
FROM March until Christmas is the
very longest lease of life that should
be expected of any hog that expects
to get into the pork barrel. To ex-
pect more than this shows an ill-bred
animal.
Pics farrOwed in May can be made
into February pork pretty easily, and
with about the least cost Clover,
new oats, pumpkins and sweet corn
will contribute to this end, with hard
corn after November 1st for fatten-
ing.
STORE up several loads of sharp
gravel for winter use. 1t is rather
early to talk about preparing for
winter, but find when such things
are left until the last moment they
are apt to be forgotten until work is
in such shape that it becomes more
OF task. The same NAV be said of
gathering and storing road dust for
baths for the chickens in winter.
No FRUIT loses flavor from being
carelessly handled more quickly than
apples Apples which have been we'll
stored retain their flavor throughout
the winter, but those which have
been allowed to lie about with decay
ing specimens, or are stored loosely
in barrels either lose their flavor or
acquire rank taste from the condi-
tions around them.
On farm where four or five horses
are kept, one of these two. wheeled
road carts costing from $l5 to S25, is
a good thing. and especially in muddy
weather. 1t saves the horses
strength, it saves the wear Of more
expensive wagons, and it saves the
time that would be used in washing
wagons. They can he bought with
seats wide enough for two persons,
and they are very easy to ride upon.
THE cost Of producing any sort of
farm stock can be best reduced by
reducing the time in which it is
grown. To accomplish this you need
stock which has marked tendency
toward early maturity, and then you
must do all that you can to intensity
this tendency by good feeding. The
two together can easily reduce the
time of ''making" either beef or pork
at least one-half from the old
standards.

Best Results from Silage,

No one thinks of feeding cows ex-
clusively on corn silage They need
some dry feed with it, and this it
will pay to buy if the farm itself does
not afford them. AS an instance of
this, Mr.. c. r. Beach of Whitewater,
Wis, grew AZ acres of corn silage last
year. To make the best use of this
he fed $50 worth of hay and Sl2O
worth of wheat bran to his herd Of
COWS. After paying back the money
value Of the hay and the bran the
cows afforded a net profit of 800 for
each acre of corn pu5 into the silo.
Corn is not alone a well-balanced
ration for any animal, and the feeder
who does not understand how to
balance it and get The best results
has neglected the most important
part of his business

Better to Pasture New Ground.

From experience 1 have learned
that the best way to do with new
cleared land is to Immediately SOW to
grass and pasture it until the stumps
are mostly rotted out. New land
will grow an abundance of excellent
pasture, and the stumps will not
sprou5 so much as when farmed. BY
sprouting once in August for wear
or two most OF the stumps will be
dead, whereas, if you farm it, the
first crops will not more than pay for
wear and tear of man, beast, harness,
and implements, not counting the
number of times good many men
call on their Creator while doing such
work, and then in a few years you
have a thin piece of land and not
much for your labor. On the other
hand, the pasture will be worth as
much as you would make over your
expense and you get it without labor,
and then when the stumps are out
you have rich spot to farm with
some satisfaction. Do you see?-

r Or Those who Build,

Too many country houses are built
without apparent regard for the con-
venience or comfort of their future
inmates Few have any provision
for warming the upper rooms unless
possibly the "front room" may have a
stove in which to light a fire when
tnere are guests to spend the night.
Instead OF such insufficient accommO-
datlon, the chambers might be COM
. fortably warmed by means of regis.
tiers through the floors, with simply
the surplus heat from the lower
rooms. 1t may be healthy to sleep
IN cold room, but it Is not very
pleasant to make a toilet in room
where the thermometer hovers around
zero. These registers may be put in
after the house is built by any one
handy with tools; each eight inches
by ten, costing about dollar and a
naif. There should be a clothes closet
opening out Of each sleeping loom,
besides an extra large one in which
to keep bedding or clothing out of
season. l find there are many houses,
too, that are built with rooms of in.
convenient size for carpeJing. Where
at all possible, rooms should be an
even number Ut Yards floor measure
one way, so that 1t will not be neces-
sary to turn under part of a breadth
of carpet or leave bare space. Why
cannot the country house have bath
room? Surely no one needs such a
room more than the farmer and his
family, yet the convenience TO- bath
ing are conspicuous by their absence
In nearly every country house. Fit
up some small room with a bath tub
OF metal, either tin. zinc or galvan-
lied iron, connected with the cistern
bv force pump, the water to be
warmed with a small single or double
burner kerosene stove, and the bath
water to be emptied through the
Kitchen drain. Surely some means
could be provided without great ex.
pense whereby that great luxury, a
VAIN all-over bath, might be enjoy
ed in the country where there are no
not water pipes or modern bath room
with their convcniences. - Ameri-
can Agriculturist.

InOculated Cinch Bugs.

The chinch bug has been regarded
as an extremely difficult enemy to get
rid of. But when Prof. Snow of
Kansas, discovered ways to inoculate
these insects with disease, this enemy
is made comparatively harmless The
remedy, which is itself disease, was
tested by some Nebraska farmers on
wheat last fall, in which the chinch
bug was making serious ravages In
the spring there were few or no bugs.
but lately they were getting numer-
Gus again. and fresh supply of last
years victims were sent for. These
were rut in box in which were
some corn leaves and a goodly number
OF lively chinch bugs feeding upon
them In two or three days the dis.
ease affects the living bugs, which
are then taken out and spread
through the fields it is desired to
clear. The Nebraska Farmer reports
that in this way the disease spreads
very rapidly diseased bug moving
around among it's kind. In one trial
only the dead bugs were placed among
the living, yet the disease became
epidemic and cleared off a quarter of
a mile Of bugs within a week. The
chinch bug evil is, therefore. no longer
feared, for even after a corn field has
been attacked it is poss BILE to save
the crop by prompt action. Prof.
Burnes of the Nebraska experiment
station will supply diseased chinch
bugs to all who may have occasion
for them.

Selecting Breeding Sows.

Before the pigs farrowed in spring
are put up to fatten, those that are
needed for breeding should he sepa-
rated from the others. Select those
with long, straight bodies and we'll
developed hams and shoulders Such
SOW pigs will make good mixers IL
not pampered by grain feeding. Milk
and wheat middlings. with all they
can eat of green food, will keep them
thrifty without fattening them.

Sheriff Willard and o. r. Ebey start
ed for Sioux Falls, on Friday night of
last week, with George Messenger, who
was sentenced to serve a term of two
years and half in the state penitenti-
ary. While Messenger was up in the
court room receiving his sentence, the
deputy sheriffs made a thorough search
of his cell and were recompcns by the
finding of an ugly looking pocket knife
hidden in the mattresses Of his bed
1t was known that Messenger was TAX
ing his conviction pretty hard, and it
was suspicioned that he might make
a desperate effort to escape, either from
the Jail or from the officers while they
were taking him to Sioux Falls. The
finding of the knife would indicate that
he had planned to make break for lib
erty, though me denied having hidden
the weapon and insisted that he knew
nothing of how it came to be in the
cell.
