SEEING MACHINES ON MES-oF-NAR.
How . Sailor May Add Something 10 His Pay
from Uncle sam.

Visitors on board war vessels in the navr
yard will very likely sec among the sailors
scattered about the decks smoking. talking, and
so on, a sailor at work with a sewing r,achine.
II Is a hand machine, and has n pretty heavy
base, so that 1t can be set down on deck and
worked easily without shifting its position.
The ms chine is owned by the man working

ship Indiana, carrying a crew of 400 men or
more, there would probably DO found as many
as a dozen sewing machines; on Il lhird-rate
cruiser, a smaller vessel. such, for illustration,
as the Detroit, there would be apt 10 be four or
five sewing machines. The machines are oflen-
est owned by S iimakcrs and sailmakers' mates,
but they may be owned by sailors; any man on
the chip might have a sewing machine IL he
wanted to. Space is valuable on Il vessel, and
so, only hand machines are allowed, and Il
bring a machine aboard permission must be got
from the commanding officer. II is not TO he
supposed that every man In the shin would
want a sewing machine; as a matter OF fact,
comparatively few men do: and those who want
t. take one aboard are not likely to find any
difficulty in the way.
A sailor who has a sowing machine mnkes
and repairs garments for himself and no does
work for others for pay. There are not sc
many sewing machines on the vessels OF the
new navy us there were on those OF the old; the
sailor nowadays makes up less OF his own out
ut than he formerly did; he draws moro COM

is still plenty OF work to be done aboard shin
with sewing m ,chines, and some money to be
made with them yet.

tagged before lambing time, at least
two weeks. The wool should be cut
clean, so that the droppings will not
touch it. This is hard to do with the
sheep lying on the floor or bench. We
have constructed a bench (see cut), so
that the holder can set the sheep with
rump on the bench at 2, the holder sit
ting back on the bench at 3, with his
feet on the rung 4, holding the sheep
by the hind legs, so that it is in about
the same position as if it was standing
up. In this position we can tag them
perfectly. We have a basket setting un.
der the end of the bench at 2, to catch
the wool. The other end of the bench
can be fixed the same, so it will accom-
modate two taggers.

RURAL MISCELLANY.

Plan to grow more grass and clover.
Study the requirements of the soil
as well as of the market.
Select the crops with respect to their
adaptability to the farm.
1t is not only an item to increase
quantity but to improve the quality of
the crops.
Colts should be trained to walk fast
before attempting to improve them in
any other gait.
On the farm, as in any other line OF
business, it is an item to save labor
and economic time.
Manure adds to the productiveness OF
land as soon as it is applied, but all of
the substances will not be used up in
one season.
The farm products should be put in
the form in which they will bring the
most money and yet leave the farm
in the most productive condition.
While the farm may not always show
large returns in the way of cash, yet
with good management the farmer may
be reasonably sure of good living.
Continuous cropping without making
an adequate return to the soil impover-
ishes the land and in the end will leave
an unproductive farm on which to make
q living.-Farmers' Union.

In an article on the necessity of sound
sires for horse breeding, a contempt.
rary says: Every stallion in France
standing for public service must have
government veterinary certificate"
Here is an excellent suggestion for rem
dering such service to horse breeders
just now, when they are awakening tn
the fact that sound. well-bEed ANIMALS
will fetch higher prices in the near flu
ture than they have in the past; al
though those who ought to know, con-
tend that at no time, even during the
depression through which we have
passed or are now passiGg, have horses
possessing real merit been drug on the
market, or fetched any but fair prices.
These dealers, whose opinions are en-
titled to full credit, are unanimous in
stating that there is dearth of good
horses in, the country; and should the
demand at all equal their expectations
there will be a general desire on the
part of those who have dams suitable
for the purpose, to breed to suit the an
ticipated demand. With no particular
leaning for parental government, it
seems that Just here is where little pa
ternalism would come in to public adj
vantage. 1t is entirely possible, in every
state where horse-raising can be con-
Quoted profitably, and where board OF
agriculture is established with veter-
mary department affiliated with it, for
such board to issue certificate OF
soundness to every stallion owner seek

immense safeguard for the breeder
for not one in twenty horsemen are

TILLAGE OF CROPS.

furious to the plants. 1t is folly to move
the soil in which the roots of a plant
are growing unless it is desired to check
the growth of the plant. What is needed
Is intelligent shallow tillage. After
every rain the crust that forms on the
surface must be broken up, and any inn
plement that runs one or two inches
deep will accomplish that purpose.
During q drought the surface of the soil
gradually packs and forms crust, and
hence surface or shallow cultivation is
as necessary as after shower. Shallow
cultivation will destroy weeds quite as
effectively as deep, while it can be done
with less than a fourth of the labor
The time to destroy weeds is just when
they appear above the surface. Thor
ough tillage includes the destruction
of all weeds as soon as they appear.
Neither weeds nor grass of any sort
should be allowed to rob the soil of one
atom of it's fertility. This involves
watchfulness and labor, but not hard
labor if the right kind of tools are used
and used in time.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

Green potatoes are not profitable to
the grower, the buyer nor the consumer.
One of the prime needs of agriculture
to-day is more brains and less muscle.
Temperature for all vegetables should
be 80 to IS degrees. Keep thermom-
eter in your root house.
Dig when ripe, and not until ripe.
Potatoes are not ripe or fit for market
when the skin will rough in handling.
Teach your boy that it is just as hon
orable to haul manure, pillow corn or dig
potatoes as it is to stand behind the
counter.
Never buy trees and plants at any
price that have been unduly mutilated
ut the root, and the roots being fairly
supplied, never cut away more of the top
than just sufficient to bring the tree
into as symmetrical shape as possible.
