COVER FOR HAYSTACK.

board up 2 side by laying the studding
six feet apart and cutting the boards of
that length. When you have the two
sides boarded place the two ends of the
sections together. This will be the
apex of the cover. The two by tours
should have been left projecting a few
inches in order to bolt the two sides
together at the apex. This cover will
form roof that will turn all storm and
preserve the hay as well as though
stored in barn. AS they are made in
sections of six feet each, only that
much of stack need be cut down at a
time. In order to hold the covers firm
ly in place, bore aninch hole in the low
er ends of the two by tours and with a
piece OF smooth wire or rope hang a
heavy weight to it; or stake>it down to
the: ground. =.
This cover will be found especially
useful in the spring OF the year. Farm
ers all know the value of good hay to
working horses and also to stock even
when there is an abundance Of green
feed. However, good hay is scarce
article in the spring. If it has been un-
protected or exposed it is certain to be
musty and spoiled. And where stack
Is open to the spring rains it soon be-
comes unfit for use.-J. L. Irwin. in

CHEAP MOTIVE POWER.
A Small Gasoline Engine VIII Do
More Work, Mt LexA Expense,
Than Wind or Water.

The ingenious farmer can contrive
many ways whereby natural forces may
be made to serve his purposes. He
can so harness water that it will grind
feed, shell corn, saw wood and chop
feed; he can secure the services Of the
wind for similar purposes, and there
are gasoline engines, tread powers and
steam powers ever ready to do his
bidding. These last three are pow
ers which manufacturers have for sale,
while the water and wind power may
be secured without much cost. .-
It is astonishing how much work can
be gotten out of little gasoline en-
CINE; it will earn its price every week
on an ordinary farm. Its feed is cheap
and its durability and strength are re-
markable. And another important
thing is the engine is cheap. 1t can be
used for great variety of work re-
curing motive power. For running
the corn shelter, ensilage cutter, corn
husker, wheat fan. grain Cleaner, bean
huller, ETC., it is a great convenience.
The price of gasoline engines makes
their purchase more practicable than
to attempt to secure the services Of
the wind or of water. Besides, they
are so much more liabie.-Farmer's
Voice.

Electric Power for Farms.

Electric power has not been used
to any great extent In agriculture so
far, though it seems we'll adapted to
it. In Bavaria, however, an expert
ment is being made on large scale,
by an association of farmers who are
building a large power station for the
supply Of electric power to the farms
near the village of Schaftersheim.
The power station is Of the mixed
type, both water wheels and steam
engines being used in it for generat-
ing electric currents. The motors are
made very compact and simple, and,
of course, inclosed so that the enuuir-,
ing farmland may not break them or
get his fingers nipped in them. Other
.associa tions in other parts OF: Ger
many are awaiting the success of the
experiment. with a. view to. adopting
similar systems. It is estimated that
the power thus distributed wil]>be far
more economical than steam Or animal
power on the various farms, and far
more satisfactory.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HAY.
Fnst Experience Eas Demonstrated
Tint Corn Can De Used with
Excellent Results.

The experience of last summer. so
far as, the hay crop was concerned,
ought to put farmers on their guard
to avoid like result this year. To
the man whose experience in growing
forage crops is limited, corn should be
the crop on which to bank, not only
for needed summer fodder, but to har-
vest as substitute for hay, if needed.
The soil should be we'll fitted and en-
riched, and the seed of the variety Sc
lected drilled in so that it may be
dropped in three rows at time. Guilt
vate in the usual way, and that portion
not used as green food during the sum
mer should be harvested before frost in
the fall. If we'll cut, cured and housed,
this corn stover will make an excellent
substitute for hay if properly manip-
ulated: before being fed. Vast guam
titles OF corn fodder are yearly ruined
by being left in the field cut and uncut
during heavy frosts that take much OF
its nutriment. If silo is not. on the
farm, store the corn stalks under cover
after curing, and when about to feed,
cut in a machine that will split the
stalks as we'll as cut them. Moisten the
fodder with ground grain and all of
the stock, even the horses, will thrive
upon it.-Prairie Farmer.

Probably no forage crop.has attract
ed more attention in recent years than.
the cow pea. It was slow in getting a
foothold in public esteem, but when
that position was once obtained 1t ad-
vanced very rapidly in public favor.
This is largely due to the fact that the
experiment stations took up the cow
pea and investigated it. They found
it to be very good plant for the col
lection of nitrogen and its introduce
ton into the soil. The farmers are now
in close touch with the experiment sta
lions and the value of the cow pea was
pressed on the notice of the farmers
wherever the pea can be successfully
and safely grown. We do not hesitate
to say that if we had no experiment
stations the COW pea would be still
struggling for recognition. Without
doubt the cow pea is destined to play
a much larger part in our agriculture
than at present. There is no reason
why the farmers that have ground in
the early crops in the spring and first
part of the summer should not plant
cow peas afterward. Of course the pea
vines will not in such case mature
seed, but the vines and roots will
greatly improve the soil. Farmers

Corrected Her Majesty.

Many years ago the three-year-o1d
daughter of one of the queens friends
was brought to see her. ''Dear little
Isabel!' said her majesty kindly. as
she kissed the child. ''Lady Isabel,'
exclaimed the little one, with superb
sself-importance. The queen in vain
tried to conceal. her laughter and
often. told. the, story, subsequently to
her own children and grandchildren.
"a few seasons back Dear little Isabel"
aged 10, was presented at court. After
she had kissed the queens hand she
noticed twinkle'in her majesty's eye.
LADY Isabel" murmured the queen,
with comical emphasis. And Lady Isa-
bel was, of course, delighted. .. Little
Viola Tree, when she accompanied her
parents on their professional visit to
Balmoral, had been warned not to Of
fer to shake hands with the queen;
but when the moment arrived for her
introduction she walked forward and
heartily shook the queen by the hand.
''She looked so kind I quite forgot"
said Viola afterwards.-Detroit Free
Press.

he was reaching it now. -

"And that they've had happy day."

''We've all had happy day" said

called to her face.

rather than stored in barn or NOW,

that will ruin the exposed hay. A cheap
and convenient cover can be made that
in one season will more than pay for
itself in the hay it will preserve.
