only to move up and down, but to re-
volve round the center post In circle.
The windlass can be attached to the
post with stationary bearing or with
one like that used for the arm SO that
it also can revolve round the post. The
diameter of post can be four inches
or six inches or whatever Is thought
strong enough for the work 1t is in

and windlass are one and a half inches
or two inches less in diameter. Any
good blacksmith can make them. as

1t will be convenient.

are quoting the Roman law of the

SHEEP RAISING.

Conditions That Make 1t Profitable.
Lambs For Early Spring Market.
The first essential in sheep husband
ry is to have large, warm, dry base
ment facing the south and east. The
sunlight can get into this and be of un-
told benefit in keeping the sheep quar-
ters in good condition. 1t is also very
desirable to have the sunlight for
sheep and lambs during cold weather.
If you have hundred ewes, divide
your barn space into four parts. When
the lambs begin to come, transfer the,
eve and lamb to another pen, and keep
filling up the pens rs fast as the lambs
appear, keeping the older ones togeth-
er. This will prevent injury to the
young ones. See that the pens are well
bedded with straw and that the ewes
get plenty Of salt and fresh water. ST.
lage from corn is probably the best
feed for sheep. 1t should be cut after
the corn has glazed Feed this morn
ing and night, and at noon feed roots
nd hay. Do not give more than the
sheep will eat up clean every time.
The lambs should begin to come
about the middle of December or Jan.
l. The basement should be warm
enough SO that the temperature wiIll
reach 65 degrees during the warm part
of the day. OF course sheep must have
plenty of fresh air, but be sure that
drafts do not strike them. Let the
lambs run out In the yard as much asI
possible, and when old enough to weanl
put them into pen by themselves andl
give them cornmeal, bran and NIL the
silage they will eat. BY this treatment
the lambs win be ready for early
spring market, says an American Agrf-
culturist correspondent.

FROST AND FERTILITY.
Resistant Effect of Vigorous Growth
In N Variety of Plants.

Resistant Effect of Vigorous Growth
In Variety of Plants.
In recent visit to large nursery /
saw two striking examples of the ef
feet of vigorous vegetable growth In
counteracting frost, says a writer In
Rural New Yorker. Part of field of
cowpeas planted as cover crop was
green and making some growth, while
In the other part but few living plants
could be seen, nearly all having been
killed by a recent heavy frost. The
nurseryman told me that the space
covered by green peas had been heav-
lily manured just before planting time
and that the rest of the field had re-
ceived no enrichment.
The second illustration was even
more marked. A large block Of young
apples, two years from the graft, had
on one side several acres Of rather
weak growing trees. On these were
few fresh green leaves, nearly all hav-
ing been Drowned by frost. On the re-
mainder of the block the trees had
made good summer growth and were
full Of vigor. The foliage of these was
green and almost unharmed, especially
ON the strong growing upper shoots.
In this case the less vigorous plants
were on land from which trees had
been removed but two years previous
and which had not recovered from the
depletion of fertility by this former
crop. The more fertile part had gone
through the usual nurseryman's rota-
tion of several years without trees. In
both instances the land was fat, where
elevation or air drainage could have
had no effect and where there were no
forests or water or changes In soil or
other apparent factors that could have
brought about the differences mention
ed. A number of similar examples
along the same line which have come
under my observation could be given.
call to mind a field of celery at Kal-
amazoo In which soil fertility seemed
to Offset n hard frost. In a forestry
experiment In Utah | noticed two sec
cessive seasons that the upper leaves
and shoots, which we usually speak of
as ''tender tips" and which of course
are best nourished and most vigorous,
kept green after the lower leaves were
badly frostbitten. Winter killing of
grains is most common ON poor soils.
Vitality In plants varies with the fer
tility Of the soil.

IRRIGATION IN THE EAST.


Professor Phelps of Connecticut has
an article in a recent Massachusetts,
crop report upon irrigation In humid
climates which may be or interest to
many eastern farmers. His reasons
for the Importance OF irrigation to New
England farmers are:
First, the uneven distribution of the
rainfall and the occurrence OF frequent
severe droughts during the growing
season; second, the large amount Of
water used by all crops and especially
by most crops of high market value.
third, the large amount or water lost to
the plant by teaching and by evapora-
ton from the soil; fourth, the high val
ue per acre of many of the crops best
adapted to New England; fifth, the
high price of lands and the changed
conditions of agriculture; sixth. the
many small streams and ponds by
means OF which irrigation may be
made practicable at small expense.
The cheapest method OF irrigation,
Professor Phelps finds to be from
ponds so located that water can be TAX
en- from them to lower ponds i'm open
bitches. Perhaps the use of rams is the
next cheapest when available. Good
windmills on high ground, with large
storage tank, may do work enough to
water three to six acres. When water
Is only wanted for short time on
crops that give a good profit, steam
may be used economically to pump
the water. Naphtha or gasoline en-
gines of five or six horsepower are eco
nomical of fuel and easily operated,
while of lighter weight than coal en-
gines. The oldest method was to let
the water into q furrow between the
rows at the upper end Of the field and
back through the next furrow until the
lower rows are reached. A man with
a hoe is needed to remove obstructionsl
and direct the course Of the water.

As the season advances evidence ac-
eumulates in support of our position
that seed corn will be scarce next year.
In some of the corn states there will
be more or less corn which. IL husked
and carefully husked, will grow. Much
of the corn is late and comparatively
immature, and the moisture must be
removed before freezing weather ar
tlves. But large sections will produce
no corn suitable for seed. The supply
for these must come from outside or
from last years crop. Look out for
your seed this fall, advises New Eng
land Homestead.
