1t is d good plan to have an extra box
to be used for the rough work.
If the farmer does not care to go to
the trouble of having made an extra
box, he may for some kinds of rough
and dirty work, such as stone and
manure hauling, replace the box with
rough boards laid loosely between the
standards in the old way. This method
has some disadvantages, however, as
the bottom boards are apt to work out
of place and the side boards to fall
down at the least provocation. 1t is
best to go to little more trouble and
arrange the boards as illustrated in
Fig. 1. Use the required number of
boards, planned on edges, to suit space
between standards and nail or screw
to two or three crosspieces to hold
them in place. Hinge the boards at
side so as to stand up supported by
the standards when on the wagon and
fold up when not in use. Or the hinges
may be put on on the outside, having
back of hinges next to the boards. The
sideboards will then turn out instead

BREAKING THE HEIFER.
Many Dnirymen Dread This Opera
ton, and i'm Most Cases without
Reasonable Cause.

We have broken several Jerseys and
have COWS that apparently never knew
how to kick, writes q. c. lies, in the
Ohio Farmer.
In the first place, the heifer should
be perfectly tame; should never have
known fear of her owner; should be
accustomed to going into the stable.
We prefer the winter time, as she Is
accustomed to being. I'M the stable
then. However, she should be tame
enough to go into it at any time with
out fear and anxiety regarding the
safety of the calf when we are around,
while if we came around her for the
first time after the calf is several
hours old she seems to think we want
to injure the calf, and she is fright
ened; and there are other reasons for
being with her at the time.
We never touch a heifer's udder be-
fore she is fresh. In nearly every case
she will resent it with a kick, and
once started to kicking she may keep
at it. We often read advice to ac-
custom the heifer to having her udder
handled before being fresh. We won
der if the author of such advice prac-
tees it. 1t is contrary to nature for
a heifer to allow her udder to be med
died with until the time comes for her
to be MIXED. The first time we touch
her udder is when the calf sucks the
first time. It is natural for her to
want to be MIXED then. In a few
hours we separate the calf and heller
and when we wish to milk her we turn
her with the calf and let the calf suck
while we milk. We milk her in this
way few times, when we separate
them for good and we seldom have
any trouble afterward.
We are always very careful not TO
hurt her in milking. There is great
difference in the way different people
milk. Some squeeze the teats so
roughly and pull downward so hard
that the cow kicks because she is hurt.
Avoid hurting your cow and she Will
not kick you. No heifer should be al
lowed to be fresh without having been
fed and prepared for the occasion.
This is especially so if she is on dry
feed. Linseed oil meal fed with other
grain feed and clover hay will make
her in good condition for calying.

Superstition Hard to XIII.

For more than millennium England
has been Christian nation, yet in the
museum at Oxford we see images,
bristling with rusty nails and needles,
which demonstrate the late survival of
a belief in sympathetic magic, in the
rural communities whence these OBJ
iects came. Within the university it
self I secured desiccated specimen of
a familiar vegetable which an officer
of one of the colleges had carried for
years as preventive of rheumatism.
Neither centuries of enlightenment nor
the revolutionary changes of this
progressive age have exterminated
sucn beliefs. They even adapt them
selves to the new conditions, as in the
case of the lady living within the
shadow of the walls of Harvard univer-
sity, who maintains that carbons from
arc lamps are sure. preventive Of

BIoodhounds as Detectives.

In the west the bloodhound is now
extensively used in the detection Of
crime and the capture of criminals
The modern criminal is a very elusive
person. He is always abreast of the
times, and, quiet, skillful and often
courageous, he has this advantage,
that he usually does his work at
night. When he has completed his
task, he silently makes his escape,
frequently leaving behind him no
cIew by which his movements may
be traced. So, at least, he believes;
but try as he will, he must leave
some clew. Intangible, invisible as
it is, it yet eXists-the peculiar odor
of the human body. Tt is a certain
guide to his footsteps; science can
not efface it, ingenuity cannot wipe
it out. This odor is as distinctive as
the features of the face. No matter
where a person moves; no matter
whether his trail is crossed by
thousand others of his kind; no mat
ter whether the rains have fallen, or
hours have elapsed since his foot
pressed the earth, the trail is still
there, and may be followed. There
is only one animal, however, which
can infa1libly trace out the scent
after it has been on the ground for
several hours, and that is the blood
hound.-Century.

occupy but little room when out of

to overcome the main disadvantages OF

Immediately under it nailed and

of cleats nailed on the bottom will
keep them in place when put on bed,
and the required number of loose
boards laid between in the usual man

Standards in Cheese Curing

Every year new standards are being
raised in the curing Of cheese. Every
year also the degree of temperature
at which cheese may be cured is low
cred by the experts. 1t was not long
ago that the proper temperature for
the curing of cheese was thought to
be somewhere between go and 70 de
grees. In Canada they have been cur
ing cheese at 40 degrees and doing it
successfully. The cheese so cured
were put into this temperature direct
from the hoop. The place in which
they were kept was cold storage
house. After four months these cheese
were scored and found to be in every
way equal to the cheese stored in a
curing room held at IS degrees.

a Gloucester fisherman recently.
eve have learned that it isn't much
use to cast the nets, no matter how
mild the weather may be, until Mr.
Fish Hawk swops down on us. When
he comes sailing up the bay we know
it's time to get to work. Lots OF
farmers down Jersey would never
think to start planting until the fish
hawks come. I don't believe they
have ever been later than April r.
though. They work their way up
the coast from Florida and the other
southern waters early in March,
when the fish begin to come north.
They follow the big schools of her
ring, as a rule, because the herring
swim close together, and the hawk
has easy picking. The shad follow
the herring, and when the fish hawk
comes we know the shad are not far
