FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Glover is the ideal pasturage; win
ter rye is also a good and early pas
ture. but should have been provided
for in the fall; and rape is also good;
oats and pease to come on later.
Rape for hogs can be sown as early
as the ground can be worked well in
the spring, and can be sown in sue
cession until August, if desired. The
last sowing making excellent and late
fall feed.
Gasoline for worms in sheep has
proven to be very effective. We do
not know that it has been tried on
hogs, but it would probably be as eff
fective with them. 1t will do no harm
anyway.
Hogs with scabby and sore backs
are probably very lousy. Wash with
kerosene emulsion. 1t is supposed
that everybody knows how to make it
by this time, directions have been
given so often.
Give brood sows an opportunity to
exercise. They will take it if given
an opportunity to go in and out of
their shelter at will. This is impor-
tant. Exercise and fresh air, and the
first implies the latter. are very nee
essary.-Farm and Home.

IMPROVED CORN SHIELD.

:eet long, and fashion the forward end
of each in the shape of a sleigh runner.
Then take a 2x4 the same length as
the boards, and bevel the edges in such
a way that when the boards are nailed
On they will spread out at the bottom
until they are about eight inches apart.
This trough is to pass, inverted, over
the corn row, between the shovels of
the cultivator; its sloping sides catch
ing the loose soil and leaving it lying
loosely next the corn, but never on it.
To fasten this trough to the cultivator,
bore an inch hole through the sides
near the front end and just beneath the
top 2X4. Through these run small,
strong rope and tie each end to the
cultivator in such way that the
trough Will be kept little in advance
of the shovels. 1t is best to leave this
rope to play loosely through the
trough, as it would otherwise upset in
turning at the end of the rows. The
illustration shows the construction
exactly. Make your handy devices now,
before the busy time comes.-Jim L.
Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.
Iron County register., 1900-03-22
ImnrnNing Seed Corn.

We notice in an exchange that a
farmer has brought to the office of his
local papers 16 ears of field corn, aver
aging Il inches long, and weighing 17h
pounds. 1t was the common yellow
corn, originally eight rowed, but by
careful selection he has brought much
of it up to ten or II rows. We call
that improving it the wrong way for
the northern states. We have seen 12-
rowed corn many time here in New
England, and seldom saw anyone who
cared to grow it the third year. The
cob is so coarse that it does not dry out
readily, and unless the season is very
favorable it is liable TO mold. Possibly
it may do better in more southern
climate. but we want no 12-rowed vel
low corn here.-American Cultivator.
Iron County register., 1900-03-22
SHE NEEDS RECREATION.
Every Farmers Wife Should Take
at Least Two Hours Each Day
for Thorough Rest.

Too many wives and mothers on the
farm pay very little attention to the.
duty they owe themselves in their de-
sire to be useful to their family They
are usually the first one up in the
morning and the last to retire at
night. The husband has been out in
the field all day and is tired, and he
never thinks of the many steps the
wife has taken during the day.
Every woman should take at least
two hours every day for rest and
recreation. She may employ the time
sleeping. reading or in any amuse-
ment which win tend to rest both
body and mind.
Some mothers allow their daugh-
tiers to idle their time away. saying
they will have enough trouble after
awhile. Or, they would rather do the
work themselves than bother to see
whether the girls do it right. This
is a sad mistake. The child grows up,
knows nothing of housework and
when she has a home of her own
does not know how to manage it,
therefore the mother spoils the child's
usefulness and happiness.
I believe the wife should do her
share, but the husband should also
do his share, and so it is the wife's
duty to herself to ask him to help
her when his work is not too urgent.
I have seen wives do all the house
cleaning, soap making, garden max
ing, chicken raising, tending of the
milk and churning, washing, ironing,
baking, besides getting three meals
every day, making beds, sweeping and
scrubbing and never think of asking
the husband for a little help. This is
all wrong.
Her duty to herself is to take all the
recreation she can after doing her
duty by her family. If there is
spare horse she should occasionally
take a drive, but this is liable to be
overdone and she is expected to do all
the errands necessary to be done;
then it ceases to be restful.
There is but little danger of true
wife and mother taking too much lib
erty in the way of recreation and rest.
There is many a husband who never
realized the worth of his wife until
he had let her work herself into a
premature grave and repents when it
is too late.-Wm. H. Fackler. in Prai.

RECENT INVENTIONS

An automatically-clos cap for oil
cups has been designed of tubular
shape and provided with a slot in one
side, the cup having groove cut near
the top, in which a coiled spring is set
to turn the cap, the oil can be in
serted in the slot and the cap revolved
to open the cup.
Fruit can be picked and automatic
ally discharged into a barrel without
bruising by Canadians patent pick
er, which has a cloth funnel suspend
ed on the end of a rake, which is used
to pull the fruit into the funnel, with
a tube proved with pad at the low
er end, against which the fruit
strikes.
A combined bicycle and rowing ma
chine has been designed, having a seat
and foot braces on top of the cycle
frame, with handled levers pivoted on
extension frames and connected by a
strap running over a pulley to the
rear hub. to propel the wheel as the
levers are pulled on by the rider.
There has been designed a rotary
blacking brush which can be held in
one hand to black the shoes without
moving the arm, the handle consist
ing of two pivoted members, on one of
which is mounted a revolving shaft
carrying the brush, while the other
has a toothed head to revolve the

THE AMERICAN WEASEL.
Where This Queer, Quick and Quiet
Little Creature Lives the Rats
Have to Die.

Not everybody knows what a weasel
IS, what it resembles and what it lives
for Some believe. and act upon their
belief. that it has nothing for which
to live and is of no value to man or
any of his avocations. This class is
quick to destroy the useful little
quadruped, whose mission is best de-
scribed when it is said to be the best
rat trap obtainable. and its life is
taken without any knowledge what
ever of its usefulness about the prem
ises where there are rats The Amer
lean weasel is a queer. quiet. quick lit
tie creature and where it lives rats
have to die, for it can go anywhere
rats can and will give them no peace
full moments If weaSels are seen
about the house OF barn do not mo-
lest them: they will harm nothing
but the rats. Ferrets should not be
mistaken for weasels: they are rath-
er dangerous little animals to privi-
lege about the barn and house, and
are not to be given the confidence felt
in their peaceful relatives. There may
be creatures for whose existence there
seems to some people no good excuse,
but the weasel is not one of them

FUNERAL ODDITIES

David Garrick's widow carefully pre-
served all her wedding garments in or
der that they might serve as shroud.
and was buried in them.
A court milliner of Queen Victoria
who died some years ago left strict in
functions that her body should be en-
tirely wrapped in point lace, and her
shroud cost several thousand dollars.
Margaret Coosins, who was buried in
Kent, England, ordered her body to be
attired in scarlet satin and placed in q
mahogany coffin, lined with green silk,
with a glass over the entire casket,
which she directed should be set up on
end beside tall clock in the parlor
of her residence during the funeral.
Sir Charles Hastings, the famous In
dian soldier, ordered that after his
death his body should be wrapped in
anything that would hold it together,
buried in an open filed and the soil
around planted with aeorns so that he
might render a last service to his coun-
try by nourishing good English oak.
Lord Camelford, famous dueist of
the last century in England, directed
that his body should be taken to Lake
ST. Lampierre, where there were trees
under which he had spent many years
in contemplation of the sublime seen
cry that surrounded him. He re-
queSted that the middle tree should
be taken up until his body was deposit
ed under it, when it should be replanted
all of which was done.
A Maj. Hook, of the East India COM
pany service in London, was entitled
by the will of relative to an annuity
of 6 400 year until his wife was
buried. To fulfill the terms of this i'm
portant document after her death he
caused her body to be embalmed, sealed
