furrow should be plowed with 2S-in
whiffletrees. Let the team out from
whiffletrees to get the proper depth of
furrow and draw from the notch in
the p!ow clevis at the lower side of the
pillow beam. The reason for short

beam is, that the pow will draw level

ally rocks the pillow to the left some
what to keep his furrow narrow
enough and thus puts the pillow out of
its natural position. The hitching
above the lower notches in the plow
cleyis to get depth of furrow draws
the pillow too much on its point and
small stone will throw it out of the
furrow. This calls for lots of backing
up and hard work.

All dirt is easily removed after the
eggs have been allowed to lie in warm

parted to the egg by the warm water
causes ii to dry quickly, ana gives
ii that fresh appearance peculiar TO n

Keep Eggs Dry.-The New York
Produce Review is right. Eggs GER
tainly are injured by washing. They
will not keep so well or hatch so well
as unwashed eggs. At least such has
been my experience, The best that
can be done for a soiled egg is to wipe
ii with a dry cloth: and. if the matter
is important, carefully raSp the thick
est of the dirt off with coarse sandpa-
per. If an egg is washed in either
cold or warm water. it will be noticed
ut once that the bloom has diSap-
peared, and a careful egg-buyer would
Mt once pronounce ii a stale egg. If
only the fourth part of an egg shell
is unSOiled, that part will show that
the egg is fresh because the "bloOm"
will be there. If you want eggs to

"Hhe three most important things in
feeding sheep" said Mr.. Jansen in
ais talk before the National Live Stock
Association, ARE Il dry feed lot pure
water and plenty of feed and as a
fourth essential | would add regular
ty and good common SENSE"
No one can join issue with Mr.. Jan
sen in his selection OF the essentials in
sheep feeding. but there are people
who would place regularity of feeding
and common sense at the head of the
list. The man who feeds his sheep at
lie time which seems most convenient
and does not so order his work that the
feeding will be done regularly at the
same hours day after day will not get
he best results from the feed his flock
consumes. Sheep are very much crea-
lures of habit. If they are fed at re-
gular hours they soon learn when feed
ny time comes aud do not worry be-
.ween times. They eat regular amounts
each, according to its appetite, ana add
weight regularly. If fed at almost any
time they are sometimes not very
luuery and muss over their feed. and
1t other times are over hungry. and
the strongest eat more than is good
FOR them.
Here is where common sense comes
m strong. The man who throws out
ais feed either too literally or too
sparingly is wasting feed in one case
and lessening his profits in the other.
There can be no set rule as to the a.
mount to feed a flock. and theman who
IS not capable of judging this matter
according to the weather condition Of
lock and other varying circumstances,
will never make the greatest success

The necessity for exercise by fowls
is becoming more apparent yearly. Elk
periments have shown that a flock of
hens that had the necessary exercise
produced twenty-six eggs more per hen
than flock of equal numbers without
any other exercise than that obtained
in the rooSting room. Moreover, il cost
cent less per dozen eggs. with a profit
of tWenty-siX cents a head in favor Of
the exercised fowls. while there was
no appreciahle difference in the weight

that there was absolutely no advantage

Roads should be dry, hard and
smooth.
Road beds should be so constructed
that they will freeze dry.
Oats sown very early become more
stocky, less spindling and less liable
to lodge.
In hauling out the manure, don't
starvc the moving fields; put it Oh rich
and thick.
Get rid of water from your roads as
soon as you can; put in under drains
wherever needed.
The oat crop is liable to lodge if sown
on very rich soil. As green feed, peas
soWn with oats are one of the best and
earliest folders and the peas help to
keep the oats erect.
