A CONVENIENT BAG HOLDER.
IL Is Quickly Made and Is as Efficient IA
the Patented Affairs.

A cheap and efficient contrivance to
take the place Of man or boy in the
work of putting grain into sacks is need
ed on most farms. Numbered with the
many arrangements for which special
claims are made one described and illus
trated in the Ohio Farmer is deserving
of attention. The writer says:
1t is made by taking q good, sound
wooden barrel hoop and closing it to the
desired diameter. To the hoop attach
three legs, which should be of light
wood that will not split when the hoop
is nailed to the tops. The tops of the
legs are beveled from the side next the
hoop in order to give spread at the bot
tom. The legs may be Of any length
that will suit tho fancy, but should be a
little shorter than the sacks. 1t is not
necessary that the hoop be so small as
the diameter of the smallest sack, be.

hooked on to all the small nails that are
driven from the inside of the hoop. The
materials cost .alaNost nothing, and the

APPLYING Barnyard Manure.

The query, "Where and how can
barnyard manure be applied to receive
the greatest benefit, and ON what crops
should it be used?" opens up broad
question and one that cannot be an
swered Dramatically, for what would
be best ON one farm would not be on all.
On those farms where corn, wheat and
grass or clover are the staples an Ohio
correspondent of Prairie Farmer advises
that the manure be drawn out during
the winter and spread on a sod, prefer
ably clover, which is to be plowed the
next spring for corn, and that the ma
nure which accumulates during the
spring and summer, and which is made
by reducing the straw stack, be used for
top dressing on the wheat land after it
is plowed. On farms where special
crops, such as sweet potatoes, melons,
ETC., are grown it often pays to use
most of the manure on these crops. He
has had an increase of value in a sweet
potato crop which paid SO load for
the manure applied. On level land with
a sod there is no loss from spreading
the manure during the winter, but on
rolling bare land there might be quite
a loss from washing away the soluble
parts. Every farmer must be his own
judge as to how to manage and to what
crops to apply manure, but his stables
should be so made that the liquid ma
nure will all be saved and the manure
so stored and handled as to avoid loss
either by teaching or burning, and then
he should apply it to such crops as will
give the best returns.
