sharp pitch of the street, made pedes-

friends who had with them a little dog
named Vic, who had adopted the family
of cat in the house, and while in pos

near her kittens.
The kittens were kept in very tall
basket, and Vic would take them in her
mouth and jump out with them one by
one, and then carry them into the gar

them back in the same way after time,
at other times lying contenedly with
them in the basket. Of course Vic had

AGRICULTURAL.
Mark all the grain bags.

Mark all the grain bags.
A rich soil is an essential item in the
growing of grain crops.
Unless you have a special reason for
leaving, stick to the farm.
Corn fodder, put in shocks and left in
the field during good part of the fall
and winter, loses one-third to one-hah
of its feeding value.
Pastures should not be eaten off too
close in the fall. The gain in keeping
stock on grass late in the fall is more
than lost by late pastures the following
spring.
1t is much more expensive process
to restore wornout lands than to retain
their original fertility by judicious
handling. Men who are farming virgin
lands had best learn this lesson in due
season, or they will learn it later, to
their cost.
The west is the region Of large things,
agriculturally and otherwise. They are
now trying a combined disk plow, seed
er and cultivator that works a flurow
16 feet wide. Six horses can handle
the machine. Now we can increase our
crop area.
A few experiments have been made
in the northwest in sowing wheat In
wide drills, after the English fashion,
and cultivating it. The results have
not been as good as expected, possibly
because too much was attempted. One
man began with little 500 acre exper-
iment lot.
There is a good deal of wisdom in the
advice recommending every farmer to
keep on hand a barrel of crude petro-
leum. Tt is valuable for many pur
poses. 1t is specific against all kinds
Of insect vermin, such as poultry lice,
sheep ticks, flies which annoy the sheep
and lambs, and the voracious stable
flies that poster the horses and COWS.
1t is a remedy for sprains, bruises, cuts
and gals of all kinds. 1t is good out
door paint for fences and buildings, and
it is very cheap.
