Long Rows Save Labor.

An exchange well illustrates the i'm
portance of long rows by telling o. a
western farmer who had plowed land
100 rods wide and a half-mile long. He
made three fields, each 33 rods wide and
100 rods long. When planted in corr
lie found that his man could cultivate it
the long way of the row in three days,
while if going the other WHY there
was four days work. Just one day
extra was spent in turning around at
the end three times as often.

How to Make Grating Wax.

To make grating wax take one
pound of tallow, two pounds of bees
wax and four pounds of resin. Slowly
melt all, stir we'll, and when partially
cooled pour into pans which have been
moistened or oiled to keep he wax from
clinging too tightly to them. When
thoroughly cold break into convenient
pieces. For use it should be applied
carefully ever all exposed cuts and open
cracks around the CRAFTS. A small
paint brush is most convenient for this
purpose. It can be safely applied much
warmer than can be borne by the hand
but care should be used not to have It
very closely approaching the boiling
point of water.

OLD HOMES.

Old homes among the hills! I love their
gradens.
Their old rock fences, that our day in
herits;
Their doors, round which the great trees
stand like wardens:
Their paths, down which the shadows
march like spirits;
Broad doors and paths that reach bird
haunted gardens
see them gray among their ancient
acres,
Severe Of front, their gables lichen-
sprinkled-
Like gentle-hearted, solitary Quakers,
Grave and religious, with kind faces
wrinkled-
Serene among their memory hallowed
acres.
Their gardens, banked with roses and
with lilies
Those sweet aristocrats Of all the
flowers
Where Springtime minis her gold in DAFT
fodillies,
showers,
And all the hours are toilless as the
lilies.
I love their orchards where the gray
wOodpecker
Fits, flashing DER you, like winged
jewel;
Their woods, whose floors of moss the
squirrels checker
With half-hulled nuts: and where, in
cool renewal,
The wild brooks laugh, and raps the red
wOodDecker.
Old homes! old hearts! Upon my soul
forever
Their peace and gladness lie like tears
and laughter:
Like love they touch me, through the
years that sever
With simple faith; like friendship, draw
me after
The dreamy patience that is theirs for
ever.

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.
When All Wagons Have Wide Tires
the Good Road Question Will
become Less Serious


Shall the improvement be made in the
roadbed, in the wagon or vehicles, or
both? 1t is hardly necessary to say
that the narrow-tired wheels of the
wagon of to-day do great damage to
roadbed in rainy and thawing wealth
er. believe that the day is not far off
when the wide-tired, low-wheeled
wagon will take the place of the pres
ent farm wagon. A great number of
these low, wide tired wheels have already
been put in use. On most of these
wheels the tires are from three to six
inches wide. A wheel of this kind helps
to make good road ,swhereon the mar
row-tired wheel is the greatest manu-
facturer of chuck holes on earth.
Should we not take heed to, the great
amount of good roads in France and
some of their ways of keeping them in
good order. You will certainly agree
that if a roadbed be graded as is Gus
tomary in this country. and continual
ly rolled, and the narrow-tired wheels,
with their heavy loads. kept off of them
it would soon become an excellent road
bed, but, even then to put on these mar
row wheels with their loads, they
would soon make it a rough, ordinary
highway such as this county is full of
to-day. In France the heavy loads are
drawn on wagon with tires from four
to ten inches wide. The front truck is
just enough narrower than the rear so
that the outer edge of the front wheel
tracks meet the inner edge of the outer
wheels. This keeps continually rolling
the road-bed. When this country
adopts such wagon the good road
question will become less Serious

SQUASH VINE BORER.
One of the Most Destructive Insect
Pests with Which the Farmer
Has to Contend.

One moth may lay 212 eggs. They

six weeks. The moth flies from hill
to hill, leaving an egg in each. The
borer, after destroying the usefulness
of the plant, enters the ground one

Hold On to Good Calves.

Dairy farmers should hold on to
every calf that is likely to make a
good dairy cow. Just now, when veal
calves are abnormally high in price
the temptation is great to let go o:
them. This is especially the case with
the man that is little hard-up for
ready cash. The man that lets go OF
promising calves now is depriving
himself of good dairy cows in the
years to come. The high price of
calves to-day would seem to indicate
high prices for dairy cows few
years hence. The money that is per-
mitted to remain invested in the dairy
calf will in many cases prove exceed

The State Of Washington

Is known as the Evergreen State because
of its vast forests. Outside of the limited
areas of BIG TREES in California. there are
no such forests Of pine, fir, hemlock, spruce,
cedar. ETC., as are found here. The trees
airs long and straight, and the massive tim
bers and fine shingles made from them are
shipped all over the world.
Washington Fruit is product Of great
value. Its flavor and color are unsurpassed.
East of the Cascade mountains, the climate
is dry and warm. and irrigation is neces-
sary. This makes the farmer independent
of rain. West of the mountains irrigation
is unnecessary and the rainfall is ample for
all purposes. Canneries and fruit drying
establishments can be operated profitably
in this state. Grain, hops and alfalfa are
very profitable crops, and beet sugar is
rapidly making Roadway.
Washington is a coming empire. Brains
are in demand in all professions, and labor
is wanted and is paid remunerative prices.
Fuel. coal as we'll as wood, is abundant and
cheap. Schools and churches abound, the
state is we'll supplied with railways.
Varied attitudes and climates render this
country a desirable place of residence, and
all can be suited.
