The Farmer Roy.

The lot of the farmer boy is undoubt
eddy lighter now than it was half
century ago. as many old Davies
County farmers can attest who have
dropped corn all day by hand In a
furrow "laid out by horse driven
by a single line attached to a single
shovel pillow and keep 1t up for two or
three weeks. Most old people who
have lived on a farm have had this
experience or have followed the boy
who was dropping corn, day In and
day out. covering it with hoe. For.
ty years ago boy who could drop for
two coyerers could earn his 80 cents
day, while the ordinary boy who was
not so swift could earn % to 35 cents
n day. As matter of fact boy
could get over more ground and plant
much bigger acreage than a man.
but then. as now. there was an un'
written law that he should not re.
ceiye mems wages, Before the days
of labor saving machinery, farm work
for the boy especially, was constant
round of drudgery, and it was little
wonder they wanted to get away from
1t. Now 1t is otherwise. and life on
farm is preferable to most other pur.
suits in life.-Exchange

Sheep ON Small Farms.

1t is mistaken idea to suppose tho,
large areas are required on which 10
raise sheep. 1t is true that it will nor
do to crowd too many on a small area
with any idea that they will get their
living from the vegetation there, but
IL, say, one hundred sheep We're to be
kept on fifteen or twenty acres, prop
erly handled. together with proper
feeding, would bring desirable results.
Taking twenty acres as the area to be
used 1t would be good plan to divide
this into three fields; two fields Of five
acres each and one ten-acre field. The
five-acre plots should be sown in rape
or some other special feeding crop, and
the ten-aere field used for general
grazing. In this plot there should be
shade and water, and the grain feed.
ing should be done here also. The
fields of rape should be used alternate
ly: that Is, give the flock of sheep &C.
cess TO one field four or five hours
day for one week. then to the other
field in the same manner. Ii these
fields were proftably pastured the re.
suit of the droppings would make
them sufficiently rich for almost any
crop when it was desired to use them
In that way, which could be done by
having movable fences, so that other
fields could be used for the sheep in
other years.

A Profit In Smoke

To put smoke TO profitable use has
been the aim Of Tobiansky, the Belgian
engineer. In his process the smoke
is forced by a fan into filtering tower
charged with coke or other porous alb.
sorbent, sprinkled with naphtha or al.
cohol, and the SCOT Is retained by the
coke, while the filtered gases. mixed
with the vapor from the naphtha or
alcohol, are collected in gasometer 70
be fed TO Welsbach burners, stoves or
gas engines. This gaseous mixture
which has been named pyrogas. burns
with a bright fame and an entire nh.
sence of smoke. The value of pyrogas
even makes 1t profitable TO burn fuel Of
low grade for its smoke alone. and n
Is computed that plants of small cost
will enable cities TO derive a material
Income from the conversion of their
garbage into purified smoke for light
and power.

Depth of Corn Cultivation.

Depth of cultivating corn varies
with circumstances. In wet seasons
it is often absolutely necessary TO stir
n soil deeply in order to dry it out
Deep stirring is also necessary in wet
seasons when weeds have once got the
start of the cultivator. The practice
of cultiyating uniform depth of four
inches throughout the entire season is
quite common. it being claimed that
weeds are most effectively destroyed
at this depth. while the four-inch
mulch conserves the moisture as well
ms deeper one. There are those who
advocate blowing deeply at all times,
although. on the other hand they are
taken to task by others who claim
that it is Just as prudent to remove
the leaves from the stalk with knife
as to cut the root with cultivator
One instance is given where a compan-
son of the deep and shallow method Of
cultivation gave a yield Of twenty
bushels per acre in favor of the shall
low method.-lowa Homestead.

by jarring the tree every morning for

" here fowls are kept partially con

built around number of trees this
will be all sufficient, but IL this cannot
be done, then plant row of corn

will answer the same purpose. or the
plants may be castor beans, which will
provide shade and ornamentation as
well. A neighbor of the writer sets a
double row Of the tall growing cannas
around the sunny side of his poultry
yard. and thus obtains attractive
bloom and the desired shade at the
same time. Plant seeds of whatever
is to be used of the seed kind now or
set the plants of other sorts. Morn

top of the fence. This plan gives one

The common expression that Amerl-
ca is nation OF dyspeptics Is gener-
ally understood to be true. and II Is
also true that. in proportion TO the
population, there are more dyspeptles
among farmers and their families than
among the city population. 1t Is absuro
that such should be the case, for II
any class Of people has chance TO
be healthy 1t is the farming commuhi-
ty. The fact remains. however, that
the majority of farmers cling closely
to a diet In which there Is little yaria-
ton. Probably the lack Of fresh fruits
and vegetables has more to do with
their stomach troubles than anything
else. The writer remembers visiting

This Is a mistake, for the expense OF
a garden sufficiently large to supply

small that 1t ought not to be consid-

where an hour Of spare time daily Will
keep 1t In good condition and give that
variety In food which Is necessary to
good health. Surely there ought to be
enough variety raised on the farm in
all lines to give the best of each to the
home table, and with proper manage
ment 1t can be done without cutting
off the income materially.-St. Paul
