KESEEDING PASTURES.
Advice to Farmer Who Wants to
Restore WOrn-Out Grass Land
in One Season.

Sometimes an old, run-out pasture
can be greatly improved by narrowing
thoroughly two or three times in early
spring; then sow mixture OF seeds.
The following might be used, although
it is not customary to sow as much
per acre under these conditions as
when a well-prepared permanent pas
ture is laid out: Red cbover, six pounds;
alsike clover, four pounds; Kentucky
blue grass, 3h pounds; orchard grass,
3A pounds; meadow fescue, 3A
pounds; red top, 31a pounds; timothy,
five pounds. You might simply sow
on blue grass, timothy and alslke
clover in moderate quantities. After
the seeds are sown, roll. 1t would IN
crease the chances of success il some
fertilizer containing rather high per-
centage of nitrogen was applied. Some
times one can find damaged cOttonseed
meal, which makes a splendid fert1l-
izer for pastures, as do also wood
ashes, though the latter are seldom
sold on guaranteed ANALYSIS, and may
contain much or very little potash.
We would not purchase them unless
they wer guaranteed. However, we adj
wise dividing the pasture and contin-
uing the use of the greater part of it
While thoroughly preparing and seed
ing a few acres each year. Pillow the
ground this spring; sow peas and oats.
Plow them under about the middle of
September, fit the ground well, sow
the seeds indicated above, roll and pas
ture light the first year. 1t may be
said, too, that if the effort is made
to improve the pasture without re-
blowing, it will not succeed unless the
field is pastured light the coming sum-
mer. If it is trampled over and
gnawed by too many cattle, many of
the young plants will perish. 1t is pre-
supposed that dairy herd is connect
ed with this pasture. If so, one of
the things to do is to sell ten or 20
per cent. of the poorer cows. There are
few dairy herds from which the net
profits would not be increased by even
giving away this 20 per cent. of in
ferior and usually improbable ami
mals.-Country Gentleman.

DURABLE BARN ROOF.

Fork Should Be Steep and

Almost any kind of roof structure
may be made to carry track for
hayfork. Hayforks and hay-carriers
are operated most satisfactorily
where the roofs are steep, third pitch
or more, and the mows deep. The curb
construction of roof, shown in the il
lustration, carries the track high up,
and in this day of economies it is best
to make the roof high and leave the

THE GROWING OF RAPE.
Farmers Are Now Paying More At
tentiOn to This Really Valuable
Crop Than Ever Before.

At the meeting of the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experimental associa-
ton recently held in Madison a num-
Der of reports were given regarding
experiments in rape growing the
past season.
AS indicating the nature of these
reports we give the following: Va
riety Essex. The soil in which it
was sown was a heavy clay; plowed
in the spring and sowed broadcast
immediately after oats were sown,
about five pounds to the acre.
The field was then narrowed and
crushed, leaving the ground in fine
filth. The little plants began to
make their appearance June 20 and
from that time oni made good prog
ress, but did not seem to interfere
with the oats. The weather during
the greater part of the growing sea-
son was exceedingly dry and the en-
tire crop suffered. The oats were
cut the last week in July. In cut
ting them the machine was tilted so
as to leave the stubble and rape
plants about six inches in height. In
a short time after the oats were re-
, moved the rape came on very rapidly
and in about three weeks it was fit
for feeding purposes. The ground
being at that time pretty well COW
cred with forage we turned our COWS
onto it for about two hours each
morning. The rest of the day they
had the run of good grass pasture.
The milk from these ten cows was
sent to the creamery. We could not
detect any faint in the milk or did
the man at the station.
| Later in the season on another
piece of ground l sowed some rape
IL days after sowing the oats and
narrowed it, but this piece did not
get good start and did not thrive
/ like that first sown, but / think it
was due to the fact that the season
was exceedingly dry during the time
it should have been growing.

has no advantage over the one that is
perfectly straight. Most people pre-
fer the curved, because they are &C
customed to it's use. AS a rule the
straight handle is more durable. The
size of the handle depends upon the
muscular development of the user. 1t
it is too small it will cransp the fingers,
and if too large it will lame the hands
and wrist.
If one will examine the end of
piece of wood he will see that it is
made of layers, each layer represent
ing the growth OF one year. Wood
splits much more easily along these
lines than across them, hence when Sc
lecting an ak handle, always choose
one in which the layors are parallel
with the line of force, as shown in
Fig. 1. If they are at right angles,
as in Fig. 2, few days use will cause
the handle to split along the dotted
lines shown. The difference in quality
in this respect is so marked that many
dealers sort their handles and make
the price of one about double that of
the other.
In hanging an ak considerable at
tention should be paid to the kind of
work which is to be done. For small
wood hang an ak pointing in, as shown
in Fig. 8. For very large trees hang
it squarely across, or at right angles
to the handle, and for splitting, es-
pecially block wood, hang it out ac-
cording to Fig. 4. This gives one a
chance to strike heavy blow, square
Iy across the block, using the whole
bit of the ak, and without making a
tiresome bend of the back with every
blow. The relative position of the
blade and handle may be changed by
inserting a small wedge in the eye of
the ak, either above or below the ham
die, as occasion may require.

BRAN IS EXCELLENT.
Poultry Thrive on 1t Because 1t Con.
tains a Generous Proportion
of Rich Lime.

Bran is excellent for poultry, and
one point in favor of bran is that
it contains a much larger proper
ton of lime than any other cheap
food derived from grain, and as the
shells of eggs are composed of lime
it is essential that food rich in lime
be provided. 1t may be urged that
the use of oyster shells will pro-
vide lime, but it will be found that
it is the lime in the food that is
most serviceable, because it is in a
form that can be better Gigested and
assimilated than carbonate of lime,
saws the American Fancier.
Glover is also rich in lime; and
when a mess of cut clover and bran
is given the fowls they will need no
oyster shells or other mineral mat
ter as a source from which to draw
the supply of lime for the eggs. Do
not forget that in summer, however,
the use of all kinds of foods should
be used with judgment. If the hens
have a free range give no food at all
as long as they are laying, but if
they begin to fall off, let bran be the
leading ingredient of the food al
lowed. In winter the bran and clover
are even more essential, as the fowls
cannot then secure green food on the
r9f1Op

CHOOSING AK HANDLES.
It's a Little Thing i'm a Way, But One
Calling for Exercise for JudS-
ment Nevertheless.

When buying an ak handle always
select one that is made entirely from
the sap wood or the heart wood, but
never one that is made partly of each,
for it will split along the line of union.
Handles made from sap wood are more
elastic and better for chopping, and
a man will not tire or get sore so
quickly when using one. Iprefer those
made from the heart wood for split
ting, although they are not so durable.
The proper length and curve of the
handle depends upon the habit and
method of chopping of the user. With
long handle a man will strike much
harder blow, but with short handle
he will strike oftener, so there is prac-
tically no difference in the work &C
complished.
The curve, too, depends upon the
habit of the user. A curved handle

BUILDING COLONIES.
Timely Advice for Beekeepers who
Are DESTROYS of Obtaining
Good Crop of Honey.

We want to build all our colonies OF
bees up strong, for those that are
strong in numbers are the only ones
we can count on to store good crop
of surplus. One of the greatest draw
backs to successful bee keeping is that
there are so many weak colonies on
hand at the beginning of the honey
flow that it takes them through the
short honey harvest to become strong
enough to store honey. Each and
every hive should be overfowing with
bees at the beginning of the principal
honey harvest, for when they are thus
very populous they can be depended
upon to do good work, if the season is
good.
Too many colonies run short of pro-
vision during spring when they are
building up, and the result is that they
are crippled in force, for they cannot
rear brood without plenty of food in
the hive or have daily access to flow
of honey. Feeding is the only meth
cd that will bring them up to standard
requirements, hence they should be
literally fed.
Weak colonies may be brought up
strong very rapidly by giving them
some brood from the stronger ones,
but we must exercise care in this or
we will cripple the strongest ones and
be no better off than before. Draw
only on extremely strong colonies to
strengthen weak ones. If we have col
onies that are in danger of swarming
before the honey season is properly on,
we can draw from them and thus check
them from swarming.
It is always in order to save frames
of honey over from one season to an
other for the purpose of supplying
the bees with honey in spring. This
is the most simple and easiest way of
doing it, besides the most sure. Keep
off all surplus boxes during spring and
confne the bees to the brood cham
Der until near the approach of the
honey harvest.-A. I'll. Duff, in Farm
ers' Voice.

Have Learned a Lesson.

Those who stick to the old method
of setting hens, and there are many
thousands who do, have learned val
liable lessons from the incubator,
saws an exchange. First: They have
learned to choose eggs of uniform
size and of perfect shape, with sound
shells. AS incubator chickens do not
have lice, they have learned, second
ly, to dust thoroughly their hens be-
fore setting, and two or three times
during the period of incubation.
Thirdly: They have learned to use
clean nest boxes and clean bedding.
They confine the hens to coops ana
take great pains to place proper food
and water before them. Fourthlv:
Many test the eggs under hens, fol-
lowing the example of the machine
men, and after testing three sittings,
for example, and throwing out the
infertile eggs, place the live eggs I'M
der the two hens and reset the third,
thus gaining time and compelling
'Biddy" to do her full share of the
work.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

1t is not the abundance of land,
but the thorough and skillful cultiva-
ton of it, that fills the barn with
hay, the cribs with corn and the
kitchen with plenty.
The farmer with no inheritage but
health, with no riches but industry,
and no ambition but virtue is sole
king among men, and the only man
among kings.
No farmer ought to undertake to
cultivate more land than he can stock
ard manage. It is better to till so
1cres well than 100 in sloyenly man
ner.
Industry, prudence and economy
are essential to insure success in any
business whatever. A regular system
is also indispensably necessary, and
in none does this find more appro-
pirate lodging than in farming.
4 practical farmer, whose liveli-
hood depends upon his calling, should
make it the pinnacle of his world
ly ambition to excel in it, If he neg
lects his farm for almost everything
else, he is generally miser both
in interest and credit.
Be not above your profession, and
always consider it as the best any
man can follow. Never shrink from
doing anything your business calls
YOU to do. The man who is above
his business will some day find his
business above him.-Cotton Plant
ers' Journal.

Broom Corn in Southwest.

like other cash crops, has it's favor
able and un:avorable features. It's
cultivation on very Mrge scale is
seldom successful, but Al properly

and especially on new land where the
