FIELD ROLLERS,
a Frequent Defect In Them-A Properly
Constructed Roller.


Constructed Roller.
With fall seeding the roller again
comes into use. A correspondent Of
Rural New Yorker some time ago pro-
tested against certain form OF home
made roller because it bore down SO
hard on the horses necks He explains
that this occurs because "the hitch is
so high above the line drawn from the
end of the tongue to the center of the
roller and while the horses are pulling
large proportion OF the power applied
TO the doubletrees is eXerted III forcing
the end of the tongue down. This must
be counteracted by lifting up on the
neck yoke. thus causing double waste
Of power. To balance the weight Of
tongue and doubletrees "A seat is usually
placed on the back of the roller, and the
driver, as the horses are resting at the
end of the row, shows his neighbor how
nicely il is balanced, and that there Is
no weight on the horses, by swaying
back and forth in his seat and making
the neck yoke rattle. But let him try to
rattle the neck yoke when the horses are
pulling and he will find that he cannot
do it. )"
This correspondent thinks it is not
hard to construct a roller properly, and
here is plan of one made by him
which was used with satisfaction:
A frame of by oak was made and
the tongue placed as shown i'll the cut,
which also shows the braces and the
gudgeons or pins which held the roll
ers in place. The logs We're solid, 81
feet long and Is inches i'll diameter
Gudgeons about 16 inches long were
driven into the ends Of the logs Thest

A Kodak In a Charge.

Lieutenant Wise did something on
the field one day that was Characters

other officer, veteran or youngster. He
fought bravely; he did not run; he was
not killed or wounded. In this he was
not different from scores of others. But
the wonderful thing that he did-the
thing characteristic Of the kite flying,

width to go between the rows of corn,
and. last but not least, it would do bet
ter work than large roller, because in
stead of riding over the big clods as a
large roller would, it would push them
ahead of it, grind away at them and
probably break them i'll several pieces
before it mounted them. A large roller
of the same weight would run easier,
but a small one will break up more
clods, and that is what roller is for.
A large roller strikes a clod nearly on
top and simply pushes it down, while
a small one strikes it on the side and
gets several whacks at it before it Is
done.

Smut In Oats.

A cheap and simple method is to soak
the seed i'm water heated TO about l33
degrees f. for five or ten minutes. This
treatment is said not only to kill the
smut. but TO hasten the termination of
the oats and increase the yield to such
an extent as more than to pay for the
treatment. It is we'll to have two tubs,
one containing water heated to 1870 de-
grees and the other to about l40. Put
the oats in loose sack. Dip first in the
cooler water for minute or two, let
drain for a minute, then dip in the
other tub for from five to eight minutes.
Turn and knead the sack to get the oats
all wet thoroughly. Empty the oats on
an airy floor and let dry thoroughly.
Another method is to dissolve one pound
of sulphate of copper in a bucket OF
hot water, and add enough cold water &c
dampen seven or eight bushels of seed.
Stir thoroughly, drain and dry before
sowing. Rural New Yorker

who had got a rap on the knuckles from
a foul, exclaim, Jimmy, that

fingers a moment, he went back to his
place on the field, little dreaming that
he had just uttered solemn invocation

when and How Ia Perform the Operation
Easily and successfully.
Budding is usually done in August
and September. The two indispensable
conditions are, first, that tolerably ma
ture buds can be obtained, and, second,
that the bark of the stock peels freely
The latter condition is attained quite
early in the season, but not the former.
So we must wait until the right time
arrives and these two conditions meet.
This right time is when the stock-the

Annie first after leaving home. He was
very angry and wanted to send her
home at once. She protested, and a
compromise was arranged by which the
young woman went into Santiago and
placed herself under Miss Barton's pro-

Atlanta. Ca, Sept. 1.-THE row In the

the attention of the pulpit.
When Mai. Livingston Minis, president
OF the club, was asked to tell the cause
OF the trouble, he declined to do so.
His refusal to air the matter gave Rev.
Mr.. Gales, who is holding a revival at the
Third Baptist Church, an excuse to jump
on the Capital City, and all other clubs
but the Capital City in particular, and
President Minis by name.
Mr. Gales in his last nights sermon
tackled the club by saving that it was

that he might have something TO say in
reply to it. But the major dismissed the
evangelist with the tart remark that "he
never read the sermons of that or any

ploy his time more prohtably."
