suhnurfnce Packing.

On fall blowing subsurface packing
of the ground Immediately after plow-
ing gave forty-two pounds more wheat
and "a cents more profit per acre than
were obtained from the check plots. On
spring blowing similar results were
obtained. 1t took a little less water to
produce the crops on the land which
was subsurface packed, and the soil
contained a slightly higher percentage
of moisture at the close of the season
than was found in ordinary blowing.
The subsurface packer is a heavy disk
roller. The disks sink through the
loose soil at the surface, tending to
firm and pack the ground near the bot
tom of the furrow. This establishes a
better capillary connection with the
firm soil below, which tends to draw
the water up into the surface soil, thus
causing a more rapid decay of stubble
and other matter turned under by the
pillow and Fastening the termination of
the seed and the early growth of crop.
In all experiments the subsurface pack
er has given good results.-Professo

Size of Pot-Drainage and SOil-Heat,
Light and Water.
With the advent of February 1t is
/ time to think about reporting cactuses
where needed and getting them start
ed for summer growth. Comparative
ly young plants will naturally require
more frequent potting than older ones.
The amateur is apt to err on the side
Of too frequent potting In many cases
it is only necessary to shake the soil
from the roots and replace Tin same
pot with new soil. This method is
advised wherever possible, and the re-
potting may then be done more fire.
quently. giving the amateur the neces-
sary experience as to increase of roots
in a given period.
Any roots that appear dried or dead
should be cut off close to the stem, and
In potting care should be taken to have
the roots spread out~as much as posi-
bic and not punched. A dull pointed
stick would be useful for packing the
earth we'll around the roots. which is
very essential.
AS to the proper potting soil there
are slight differences of opinion. The
chief necessity is to have thorough
drainage. without which the plant will
rot off at the base. Gravel placed in
the bottom of the pot or coarse sand
will make good drain. Powdered
charcoal. sand and ordinary good loan
may be added In equal parts.
After potting at this season, presum-
ing that the plants have been kept
cool and dry during the winter months,
they should be introduced to gradual
heat and water, increasing as the sea-
son advances. For the stronger grow
ing kinds liquid manure may be bene-
ficially applied
At all times plenty of light is needed.
Place them near the glass If con-
venient. Regularity In temperature
and watering are very necessary for
good growth
While handling them at this time it

insects that may have escaped notice

THE HAND SEPARATOR.

Arguments In Favor of Its Use and
Those Against 1t.
That the hand separator is gaining
rapidly in public favor cannot be dis
puted. That the new system of dairy
ing being brought about by this
means is an improvement over the old
er system is matter upon which
there is some disagreement. There is
something to be said on both sides, and
to an impartial observer the argument
in favor of the system seems to be best
from the fact that it is rapidly being
extended in almost every dairy district
in the country.
Against this system it is argued that
farm conditions not being uniform the
cream delivered to the creameries is of
uneven quality and the manufacture
of an even quality of butter is made
much more difficult. The control of the
cream not being in the hands of the
butter maker from the time it is sep
arated until it is churned, it is claimed,
adds to the labors of the butter
maker and detracts from the quality of
the product
On the other hand, it is argued that
where the hand separator is used the
producer of the milk has it for use
while it is still sweet and warm and
more valuable than it ever will be at
later time. He is saved the hauling Of
the milk from his farm to the cream
cry and back again, a saving that is
considerable in most cases. The hand
separator reduces the number of trips
to the creamery without reducing the
revenues derived from the cows. Where
only cream is delivered to the creamery
there is no mixture of the milk from
several farms, no hard feelings about
the quantity of skimmilk received, no
danger of carrying disease germs from
one farm to another and a consider
able saving of travel during storms
and bad weather.
That these advantages are appre-
ciated is proven by the rapid extension
of the new system. From present ap-
pearances we are led to believe that
the new system will become universal
or nearly so within a short time

GRASS SEEDING.

Experience With Timothy and CIO-
yer In the Wheat-Thc Newer Plan.
In many parts of the country last
harvest it was found that the seeding
of timothy and clover in the wheat
had proved a failure so that the wheat
stubble showed but scanty promise for
a hay crop next summer. Comment
ing upon this, w. T.. McSparran says
In Farm and Fireside: l have gen
orally been successful in thus securing
clover and timothy seeded in the
wheat, the timothy in the fall when
the wheat is sown, the clover being
sown in the spring. During the frozen
period of winter 1 cover the wheat
with thin coat of manure, which set
ties well down around the wheat
plants, stimulating their growth, af-
fording them some winter protection
and at the same time acting as a saw
ing mulch to the little grass plants.
After the wheat is harvested the stub
BILE is not pastured, and the grass is
generally given another light manure
dressing. The moving machine. with
elevated bar, clips the weeds before
they make seeds and by cutting back
the grass or clover growth encourages
root development and extension. By
this method have encouraged most
discouraging prospect into a fine har-
vest.
/ count that this is about all l may
do under this system of making hay
crop. But even that sometimes comes
into the realm of failure, so that am
about ready to abandon the old method
of sowing the grass with the wheat. l
am strengthened in my notion of drop
ping the old plan by my knowledge of
the success of a new and much better
one. | have frequently sown clover in
the spring on well prepared land with
out nurse crop and had most salts
factory results, but not until the sec
ond summer after sowing. Sometimes
where the land was not too foul with
weeds have harvested a light crop of
hay the same season as the seed was
sown. But unless the soil and wealth
err conditions are very favorable the
first years crop does not amount to
much.
On the newer plan a small field from
which wheat was harvested last sum-
mer and on which the fall sown timo-
thy and spring sown clover were total
failures was plowed after harvest and
with harrow, roller and drag was made
into a fine seed bed. About the 1st
of August nine quarts each of timothy
and clover mixed were sown, first
lengthwise, then crosswise of the field.
The sowing was followed by light
harrow, and the timothy and clover
stand as thick and vigorous as is pos
sible for them to grow.

do this sort of thing. It's perfectly aw-
full, and then l never know how long
my luck is going to last!'
Nonsense! You draw such clever
sketches you can easily get some other
work when this fails you"
The answer was another sigh.
"What has become of that handsome
young lawyer you were telling me
about?" my friend put in archly, with
4 vain attempt to make the conversa-
ton less lugubrious.

1t was positive relief when she left
and little Susie Brown took her place
Now, there was nothing remarkable
about Susie, either in face or costume
In fact, when you came right down t6
it. her clothes were rather out of style
and shabby, but her face fairly shone
with courage and good nature, and
when she greeted my friend her smile
actually seemed to fill the room.
"Well, how goes it?'' said the latter.
''Oh, so much better" chirped Susie
mot that have had one of my stories
accepted yet, but the editor said my
last one showed great improvement
and they have given me some fashion

"Are you not very lonely living by

at Is rather hard at times" Susie
admitted, her genial face a shade
graver. especially since mother died
but then every one is SO good to me
1t is wonderful, too, for I'm not pretty
or clever or interesting, and I can't give
them anything in return. Don't you
think this world is just full of the
kindest, most disinterested people, Mrs
Caldweil!'
When we were by ourselves again
Mrs. Caldwell turned to me with q
grave look Maud" she said, when
l experienced my first sorrow and was
first thrown on my own resources
was just like Mary Jones. wanted
every one to know and to feel my
sorrow. My life was one perpetual
whine. punctuated with outbursts OF
tears on friends shoulders. The result
was, my dear. that lost nearly every
friend l had. The men were the first
to go. for men are not patient with
tears. and all but my very oldest WON
en- friends followed suit. To this day
l don't blame them. People don't want
to invite shadow in their houses; they
prefer sunshine. Other girls used to
get asked around, and I was left out
l used to wonder why, and blame the
people, until one day l woke up from
my bad dream and realized how abom-
inably selfish l had been. In this world
you get just about what you give. II
you radiate sorrow, you receive sorrow
if selfshness, you receive selfshness
That is why l go about preaching the
gospel Of cheerfulness and practicing
it as well. It's the only way in this
world if yoa want peace and happi
uess." MAUD ROBINSON.
