Care of the Harness.

Keeping the harness we'll oiled
and in good repair not only makes
it last longer, but makes it more
comfortable to the horses. Good
fitting harness is an important item
in enabling the horses to do the
most work with the greatest ease
and comfort to themselves. Before
the Spring work begins it will be
found good plan to overhaul the
harness and mend it wherever mend
ing is needed, and then oil we'll and
see that it is properly fitted.
With rivets, harness members
strips of leather, rings, buckles,
snaps and other conveniences that
can readily be purchased, any farm
err can do all necessary mending to
the farm harness. A little time and
money spent in putting the harness
in thorough repair will prove a pay
ing investment. After mending it
will pay to take apart and wash
clean, using warm water and a lit
tie soap and a rag or sponge. Then
wipe dry with a rag and then oil.
If harness oil cannot be had con-
veniently, neat's-foot oil, with lit
tie lampback, makes good oil for
this purpose. Rub it in well. II
the harness is old and has not been
oiled for some time, it will pay to
go over it a second time after it has
been hug up to dry for two or
three hours.
Every work horse should have a
collar and a set of harness fitted to
him. There are seldom two horses
that the same collar and names will
fit as comfortably on the one as on
the other. To lessen the risks Of
gals and sores the safest plan is to
fit each horse. The collar must fit
snug, not too tight so as to choke,
and not so loose as to work and
chafe. The names must then fit
snug to the collar, with the traces
so that in pulling the weight will
come evenly on all parts of the
shoulder.
Care in having the harness prop
erly fitted will aid materially in
keeping the horses in good condi-
ton for work.

Among the Poultry.

Leghorns are among the very best
of layers.
Set the first clutches of duck
eggs under hen.
Put the perches far enough away
from the doors or windows to avoid
draught.
If the young stock is to be used
for breeding it should always be
selected from the earliest matches
The production of eggs is great
drain on the hens vitality. There.
fore, the laying hens should be well
fed.
Have the nest so low that the
hens can step in. If they have to
jump in they are apt to break the
eggs.
Young turkeys are naturally ten
der. There is no advantage in
Matching them out until the weather
is reasonably we'll settled.
The small potatoes and onions
boiled and mashed and mixed with
wheat bran makes a good feed for
growing chickens and ducks.
Provide all the setting hens with
comfortable quarters and see that
their feathers ard well busted with
insect powder before starting them.
If they are made comfortable and
kept in good condition some of the
hens will want to set this month,
1t will be worth while to make them
comfortable.
Ducklings are much more easily
fed than young chickens. Nothing
seems to disagree with them as long
as it is sweet. They take kindly to
skim milk, DuttermllE, meal, wheat
bran, potatoes or almost anything
else.
A quick maturing fowl is desira-
BILE as a market fowl, especially
early in the Spring. In selecting
the breeding fowls this should
always be remembered. Color is
not important in market poulty,
except as it affects the looks of the
dressed fowls. A rich yellow skin
will improve the sale of dressed
poultry, and this does not belong to
all breeds. But when chickens are
to be sold for early broilers, color
is immaterial.

Advantage in Being ne dhead.d.

Nobody ever heard of a redheaded

Tobacco Growing North and south.

Lancaster County, Pa, itappears,
still stands at the head of all the
tobacco growing counties in the
United States, with her 1927 800
pounds grown in the season of 1889.
Four other counties Christian and
Henderson in Kentucky, Dane in
Wisconsin and Pittsylvania County
in Virginia-grow over 100000
each. There are seventeen other
counties that grow from 100000
to 100000 each. Lancaster
County's product in 1889, as all
know, was sold at exceedingly low
prices-about the lowest in our his
tory-and even then produced the
growers $4,000. The nearest
approach to this by any other in
dividual county was $886,840 by
Hartford County, Connecticut. The
product of Lancaster County, in
fact, fetched more money than that
of the entire State of Connecticut
or of Wisconsin or of New York and
Massachusetts combined.-Phila-

THE LITTLE THINGS TIRE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors. but almost everybody has been
struck. at one time or another. with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make Its
car windows SO that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers backs?"
exclaims traveller "If were running the
road would make them in such a way"
What was the man who made this sucepan
thinking off" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over the stove. or he would have
known how 1t ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar. buttonr growls the man
who is late for breakfast. IF l we're in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back Of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think Of some.
thing else. II they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity. put their ideas about
car windows. saucepsns. and collar. buttons in
to practical shape. and then apply for patents.
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron un-
brella ring or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

How to Get Early Vegetables.

How to Get Early Vegetables.
A cheap, convenient affair for
starting early cabbage, tomatoes and
other early plants, that every one
can use that has a south window,
is made as follows: Procure light
wooden box about Sin wide and 4
to Gin deep, and as long as the
window is wide. The end pieces
should be heavy inch stuff. Insert
in each end of the box near the up
per edge and center of the end piece
a stout screen nail about forth of
an inch out. Prepare some rich
mellow garden soil, free from weed
seed. If not as rich as desired add
some bone meal, or linseed or cotton.
seed meal is very good, and helps
to give the plants start. Before
filling the box with the soil pour a
kettle of boiling water over the box
inside. This warns the wood and
helps to warm the soil, Fill the
soil in the box, making it smooth
on top. Then make marks across
the soil an inch apart and about
one-sixteenth of an inch deep. Put
in the seeds and cover by sitting
some fine soil over them, leveling
up the depressions only. This COW
ers the seeds enough. Cover the
box with piece of old burlap and
then give the contents good soak
ing with lukewarm water, putting
it on the cloth very gently The
burlap keeps the water from wash
ing out the seeds and also retains
the moisture.
After planting the seeds set the
box under the kitchen stove, or some
other warm place, and warm with
tepid water once in a while. Lei
the sacking remain until the plants
show. This with cabbage will be
in six or eight days. Tomatoes
will be longer. Then remove the
sacking and water slightly. Attach
to the screw nails a stout cord OF
piece of wire about 18in long. Then
put corresponding nail on each
side of the window and hang your
box inside, high enough to be above
the reach of children. If the
weather is cool it would be best tc
take it down nights. In watering
be sure that the box is level so every
part will get it alike. AS soon as
the plants get rough, or second
leaf it is best to transplant to other
boxes to give them more space, say
one plant to every two square inch
es. By this time the weather will
be so warm the boxes can be sci
out of doors on sunny days. Be
careful and not water the plants toe
much, as they will damp off.

NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

A patent strikes person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea Is that an inventor
must be a natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems. and that he must
spend a fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get n new device to a patentable degree
of perfection This delusion the company de.
sires to dispel 1t desires to get into the head
of the public clear comprehension OF the fact
that 1t is not the great, complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little. simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention OF
the Patent Office.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost OF
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord TO q
childs ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown. made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine Is mi
racle of ingenuity-the product of the toll Of
hundreds of busy brains through hundred
and fifty years. but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle ct the
point instead of at the other end.
