Croes Drilling Grain.

The idea of some farmers that cross
drilling grain, SC that the seed grains
should not lie SO close together and
crowd each other when grow ing, does
not work well in practice. It is true
that cross drilling does leave the grain
plants more scattering, and especially
with fall sown grain. We sowed some
wheat once, cross drilling it, but the
mex spring the rows only showed one
way, and that from the last drilling.
The ridge thrown up when the drill ran
ros the first rows covered the grain.

A Point In Flowing.

We believe that the southern farmer
makes quite a mistake when he ridges
upland for cotton and corn unless the
land is naturally too wet Tor "a crop OF
any kind. The reasons are that when
land is so ridged it is apt to become too
dry while the plant should Lee rapidly
growing, and because when it does rain
much Of the water is run off in the
sluice between the rows and the ground
is soon dry, to the great injury of the
crop. The turning away the earth from
the plants. as is usually done, surely
cuts off some roots and acts as an arti-
fetal drought by the evaporation of Wa

being struck by the closing gate is, of
course, forced back to the gatepost, the
conclusion suiflcing to bring the square
link A over the top Of the gate, as
shown.
No great force is required to make the
apparatus act, the smallest opening
through which a man can pass causing
sufficient jerk to bring the top link A
over the gate. 1t will easily be under
stood, therefore, that when a gate is
swung open there is no chance of fail
ure. The gateposts must, Of course, be
set slightly on the slant in order to
make the gate close after being swung
open, and, that being effected. the fas-
tening works itself. There need be no
more straying cattle through gates being
negligently left open, nor can stock
push the gate open unless they learn the
art of raising the link. The fastening Is
exceedingly easy to open.

cut. This permits the arm to rise just
far enough to reach the bride of the
horse, with play enough so that he can
move his head freely, but does not per-

This device of using al arm to keep
the horse away from the post COON

from rubbing his bride and other parts

would do more damage to the human
body than had ever been done by any
other bullet. Mauser bullets had been
fired into bags of sand and cans of

cause them to be looked upon as most
formidable engines Of carnage. And yet
