calklng Joints Of Butted class.

In greenhouses built with butted glass
the problem of keeping the joints be-
tween the glass tight has been one of
the most annoying. AS long as the roof
is new and the lead between the glass
remains solid all goes we'll, but as soon
as this becomes broken or loosened from
any cause the question of calking it
without removing the glass has been
great obstacle. The usual plan is to have
such houses gone over each fall by a
man with putty knife and mixture
of putty and white lead soft enough SO
that it could be easily crowded into the
cracks. This is a tedious and expensive
operation, and as means of saving
time and at the same time cheapening
the operation a correspondent of Ameri-
can Gardening writes that he prepared
thick paint of white lead and boiled
oil; then with small. round marking
brush the cracks between the glass were
merely traced with the brush The space
between the glass drew in and held the
paint as in a capillary tube, and in this
way the houses were rapidly gone over
and more effectually calked than they
ever had been by the use of putty put
on with the knife in the old way. The
cautions necessary are a small, stiff
brush and care in doing the work to see
that the space is well filled and that the
paint il not unnecessarily daubea upon
the glass,

Doe. e Paw to Cut Corn roader2

Rural New Yorker expresses the opin-
ion that the cost of cutting corn fodder
may amount to more than tie increased
value when the farmer has to pay regu-
lar hired mans wages FOR turning a
hand cutter. This matter of cutting M
fodder IS one Of the operations Of the
farm that requires wholesale power in
order to make ii profitable There are
men who feed eornstalks to cattle with
out even husking the ears. They reason
that what the COWS leave the hogs and
poultry will make use Of, 80 that the
waste is not large enough to balance the
cost of husking. Smelling, grinding and
cutting. This cost of cutting up the fod-
der must be reduced to the lowest limit
before it will pay to attempt it, The
new shredding machines promise to give
a new value 70 the corn crop because
they viii do the work cheaply and
quickly. Our experiment stations should
now find on for us the best way to keep
the shredded fodder without loss
