STARRING IN. BURROWS.


Good blowing requires knowl-
edge Of the principles of soil turn:
ing, and requires experience in doing
the work. If the first burrows are
run carelessly or incorrectly it will
be found exceedingly difficult to do .
good job. The blowing of old fields
is less difficult than the blowing Of
new ones, for the reason that the
old fields have landmarks that are
easily understood. This lis, of course,
true only if the blowing of former
years has been correct. 1t is q
somewhat difficult task to turn
straight burrows across new
field with nothing-to serve as q guide
but some object on the further side.
The skilled farmer should not In
trust the turning of the first fur
rows to the boy or the unskilled hired
hand. If the first burrows are
crooked it is difficult to make any
straight ones afterward. The best
plowman will find it difficult to cors
rect the errors Of his predecessors:
Even the skilled plowman will not
find it an easy matter to run the
first furrow straight ahead Of him
and keep his team well under con-
troll. If the field is to be plowed on
the lands" plan, then there is an
added reason why the best plowman
on the farm should take the mat
ter in hand, for there will be sew
eral first" burrows to plew. The
first burrows are the patterns of all
that are to: follow them. Landmarks
set up on opposite sides of the field
will assist the plowman in making his
furrow straight whether he be skilled
or novice.-Farmers' Review.

~ low to receive the bed from the
wagon. the rope passes from one pull
ley toward the side of the barn floor,
then through hole near the top Of
the windlass or revolving pillar, as
shown in the engraving, and out
again to the other pulley.
The windlass may consist of six
inch cylindrical post which receives
the rope near its top, while at con-
venient height from the floor are
holes Tor the insertion of levers used
in turning. The wagon being driven
into place, the stretchers are slipped
over each end of the bed, which is
then quickly and easily drawn to the
top by revolving the windlass. When
sufficiently high one of the levers is
left in place with the outer end rest
ing against some upright timber Of
the barn frame and thus holds It Sc
cure. For hay ladders, instead of the
lower lar of the stretcher,. the rope
may terminate in ring, which slips
over an iron hook. These hooks are
permanently fastened to the ladders
at suitable points where they will
not interfere. with anything else

wings deposit their eggs, upon the
young plants of winter wheat. When
these hatch, the larvae feed upon the
central part of, the plants on their
course downward. They remain dur
ing the winter in the surface Of the
ground and appear in the spring in
the adult form. These in turn. lay
their eggs upon spring wheat plants
and cause the destruction Off such
plants as they feed upon. However,
the devastation 81 the first brood in
the spring is seldom noticed. 1t is
the second brood of flies whose
progeny brings about the work Of
destroying the wheat beds. 1t is
Sclaimesl that even q third brood
makes, it's appearance and again de-
posits its eggs upon young wheat. It
is our opinion that grasses will fur
nish the necessary breeding ground
just rs well as winter wheat.
The accompanying illustration
shows portions Of two heads of
wheat that have been affected by the
insect, as well as the pupa and larva
form and mature condition of the in
sect. These are magnifed, and con-
sceptioa of the real size may be OBJ
tained by the little character placed
beside each figure, which indicates
their exact length.
The available remedies for this in
sect are preventive rather than cura-
tive. Wheat should not be grown
continuously on the same soil, and,
indeed, long rotation should be in
troduced in which there are a variety
of crops. We have known many per-
sons who were troubled with this
pest to burn their stubble, thinking
inothis way that they brought about
the destruction sof large numbers.
Fortunately there is a fungous dis
ease that attacks this maggot and
fly; SO that there is some likelihood
of its rapid increase being prevented.

LIFTING ARRANGEMENT.

A good lifting arrangement for re-
moving bed or ladders from the wag-
on is herewith illustrated. To the
joists of the loft over the barn floor,
at proper distances, are chained two
pulleys. Over each of these passes
a half-inch rope, one end of which
is connected with stretcher large
enough to slip over the end of the
wagon bed. The upper crossbar Of
the stretcher may simply have deep
notch Mt each end, just wide enough
to receive the rope. A knot in the
latter just below the stick serves to
hold it in place. The lower bar is a
trifie longer and has the rope Sc
curely tied at each end. Supposing

Importance of Alfalfa.

Alfalfa is rapidly growing in I'm
portance, and becoming considerable
factor in the enlargement of the
meat supply, largely taking the place
of corn in feeding west of the Mis-
sissippi valley. The area is enlarg-
ing, and the first cutting of this
year is very large. Horses thrive on
it with little grain; cattle fatten On
it with finish of corn, and in it's
use the hog has become hay-eating
animal. It is, to an increasing ex-
tent, taking the place of range
grasses in the economy of the cattle
industry, and the change will cause
an enlargement rather than de-
crease of the meat supply.

have been most satisfactory. The crops

is whether we can make the natives work
