life, since no absolutely correct biography
of this strange genius ever was published.
After some persuasion he consented, and
here is the story just as he wrote it:

an ingenious arrangement to help him
out when the wagon becomes stuck in
the mud. The picture almost explains
itself, showing, as it does, how the in
vention gives a leverage near the cir
conference of the wheel instead of
compelling the team to pull direct on
the axle, as heretofore From each
lend of the doubletree a rod runs back
to the upper end of a lever pivoted on
the axle. Attached to these levers are
pawls, which engage the teeth of the
ratchet wheels, the latter being secur-
ed to the rear wheels of the wagon.
When a team is pulling a heavy load
the doubletree vibrates, owing to the
fact that the two horses do not step
in unison and do not pull exactly to-
gether. 1t is this vibration that is util-
IL ID in applying the device, as it en-
a'bles the pawls to secure alternate
hold on the teeth of either wheel. thus
gradually working the wagon out of
the rut or up the steep hill. When the
team is travelling smoothly on a level
road tire pawls ride idly in the ratchets
without interfering with the rotation
of the wheel

Farm, Notes.

1t is noted that the hog is invariably
healthier in the dairy sections of the
country than in those where the COW
is not kept. and this difference is at
ibuted to the use Of skim milk for
the pigs when young.
When a plant produces seed It will
not afterward make an attempt to
flower. Pansies which bear flowers
profusely, should be kept clean by
picking the flowers off daily. If tIls
is not done the supply OF flowers will
soon fall off.
In making the well-known kerosene
emulsion it is an easy matter to make
a mistake. so that the kerosene sepa-
rates from the water Kerosene will
mix with milk or soapsuds, but in
making the emulsion plenty of soap
should be used, as It viii be difficult
to mix the substances unless such is
the case.
Clay loan is often the finest beet
soil. but on account Of subsoiling and
because II the need Of good ORA Il

demand not only depth. mcllowncss
and fertility as SOL characteristics but
also as well freedom from standing

from such stones as would interfere
with cultivation.

housekeeping time is not a period of
unalloyed pleas ure on the farm. In
this matter ne mode of attack de
ponds very much upon circumstances,
and especially upon the size of the
house, the size of the family, as we'll
as the amount Of help available. There
are so many things TO be done in the
spring Of the year that it is some
times impossible to clean house accord
ing to any organized system. The la
bors of housekeeping can be much
H-btaned where rugs are used instead
of carpets. The taking up. shaking
and putting down of carpets is a most
laborious task. 1t would seem that
people learn the lesson slowly that
rugs are much more healthful, are less
expensive. are just as beautiful and
Involve much less labor when the pc
Rod of housekeeping time comes
about. Men should not complain if
their lives are made miserable TO the
extent of one week during the fifty
two. because the results OF the turmoil
of housekeeping Justify the measures
generally used. There is a difference
of opinion as 10 whether it is ad-
visahle to tear up the entire house at

Pruning Before Planting:

The experienced fruit grower I'M
derstands full well that his best sue
cess will come from giving the trees
and plants he sets every opportunity TO
get good start, hence he never con
Germs himself about the crop except
as something he expects to have in the
future. The inexperienced. in setting
small fruit plants, Keeps uppermost
in mind a possible crop the next sea-
son. the one Immediately following
planting. and therefore his chief con
Germ is to preserve all the growth the
plant has at the time of setting. Rasp-
berry and blackberry plants should be
cut back close to the ground at the time
they are set, while currant and goose
berry plants may be safely cut back
Mt least one-half. With strawberry
plants. it pays TO keep the blossoms
picked off the season directly follow
ing planting. unless. OF course, the
plants are those grown in pots and set
in midsummer for fruiting the follow
ing season. The amount of pruning
that should be done on newly set trees
depends somewhat on the tree as re-
ceiyed. Peach trees are usually cut
back to a single whip, while the growth
ON other trees is reduced from one
third to two-thlrds. depending. as stat
ed, on the condition of the tree at the
time it is received. This ri gorous prun-
ing means that the tree or plant has
no old growth to sustain. but that all
of it's vitality may be thrown into the
production of new wood after it gets
n secure hold on the soil.
