The Fin Coulter,


The cut herewith illustrates q style
OF plow coulter which is often used In
the West. 1t is made from high-grade
crucible steel about three-eighths of an
inch thick, and cuts through the soil
easily. There are certain conditions
under which the rolling coulter will
not work well, and then the fin coulter
can often be used to good advantage.
Years ago the land side of the share
was always dovetailed and the cutter
set In level, but later manufacturers
and blacksmiths have simply riveted
or bolted the steel to the share without
dovetailing. This is cheaper than dove
failing, but the latter method causes
the plow to run better than when the
cutter is bolted to the side. The fin
cutter Is always slantcd well back and
Is rounded back at the top. When
made in this form, wear does not so
soon impair its usefulness as IL the
edge We're made straight like cutter
which Is; cast on the share. A fin cut
ter made with straight-cutting edge

THE PALE BLUE CASHMERE GOWN

t@=oHE Rev. John Lawrence sat at
Pss his study table, leaning on his
elbow, his usually busy pen held
Idly between his fingers. He gazed
\ far over the plains, trancelike express
sion In his thoughtful eyes; he believed
THAT the time was coming when those
Sv plains would be peopled, and, with the
sl hopefulness which made his mission
|asSary life Beautiful, he seemed to see
y the church leading, inspiring and min
"1lstering to these people. Already he
had visions Of a school wherein his
IHpwn wife should be the ruling spirit;
FS visions Of hospital, clubhouse and

church building was to be found in
Mmany miles did not in the least inter
hfere with his dreams.

Sheep for a weedy Farm.

A Kansas correspondent has
weedy farm, wishes to try sheep, and
wants to know what breed is best
to start with in a section where but
few sheep are grown and the surplus
would have to be sold to the local
butcher.
We would get as good type Of NUT
ton sheep as we could conveniently
without inquiring particularly as to
the breed. We would not take Meri-
nos, however, unless they were pretty
well graded up with some Of the NUT
ton breeds of which the Shropshire is
the most generally known and a very
popular breed. We would not get
more than twenty-five or fifty to start
with and would use buck of the NUT
ton breeds that we could get most con-
veniently; Shropshire, Southdown,
Hampshire or Oxford. If the butchers
do not give enough we would kill the
surplus and sell them to the neighbors.
Where a man has weedy pastures or
weedy lands, any kind of sheep will
pay even If he has to sell the surplus
at low prices.-Wallace's Farmer.

Testing the Seed Corn.

The Illinois Agricultural College au.
thorities are urging the Importance of
testing seed corn, and have found in
their tests samples from farmers rang
ing in vitality from 63 to 81 per cent.
The Importance Of testing seed corn
cannot be too strongly urged. The fol-
lowing Is an extract from letter re-
ceived from Professor A. W. Hume,
Of the Illinois College on this subject:
IF, as seems probable, we are COM
PEELED to select seed corn for next
spring from a crib having large per-
centage of frosted ears or of ears
which for various reasons will not
grow, the question is what can be
done to help insure our stand of corn
for the coming year? 1t will hardly
do to plant seed on valuable land with
certainty that one-fifth will not
grow. The best suggestion the writer
has to offer to corn growers is that
they make most careful inspection of
corn, which they expect to use for
seed, whether it be purchased from re-
liable growers or selected from their
own storehouses. We believe 1t would
he possible for every ear Of corn plant
ed In Illinois to be tested for vitality.
If an ear does not come to the required
standard, 1t may be possible to discard
II, thus reducing the amount of seed
which will not grow and materially
increasing the stand of our corn crop
the coming year."

Fiye-Horse EauaIizer.

A. ]. Rattan, Of Treesbank, Man,
writes the Nor'-West Farmer inclosing
sketch of flve-horse equalizer. He
says: II have had considerable expe-
rience in breaking up grub land and
have found that the very best results
come from good strong fourteen-inch
grub plow. Two men, an AK, brush
scythe and five horses comprise the
best outfit that can be obtained for any
field. In order to equalize the COM
bined strength Of the horses an evener
is made on the plan shown in the H.
lustration. A piece Of timber 3x5 and
fifteen inches long is selected. An
inch hole is bored three-fifths of the
distance from the end for the clevis

and rounded forward at the top would
soon wear so that grass, roots, trash,
ETC., would not readily pass upward
and off at top of coulter. A few years
ago I bought plow with fin attach
ment, the cutter having been put on by
the manufacturers. 1t was such a
clumsy affair that I would have done
much better to have bought the plow
and had the smith put the cutter on,
for it was over one-quarter thick and
stood forward at top so much that it
would not work at all until it was re-
modelled. There was one nice feature
about this cutter, in that 1t was bolted
on with stove bolts, so it could be taken
off and put on again, as conditions re-
quired.-Geo. T. Petit, in st. Louis
Republic.

Selecting a Good Layer.


An old country poultryman makes
the following suggestions as a help in
selecting good layers: "There are GER
tain individual characteristics, one Of
which is the shape of bird. If a
straight line be drawn from the back
Of the head to the toes, the hen which
is likely to be good layer will usual
ly have the hinder half of her body
largest, whilst hen which may be
suspected Of being poor layer will
show more in the front; the reason
being that a poor layer makes bet
ter table bird, and has larger, longer
breast, whilst good layer makes
poor table bird, and has a compare
lively small breast, whilst the egg or
gans are more fully developed. Birds
which are good layers are usually very
active. They always look healthy, and
in most cases their combs are usually
fully developed, particularly If they
belong to the long-combed varieties,
which are reputed to be the best lay
ers. A hen with long comb may
usually be regarded as good layer.
and If she is not there must be some
special reason for the contrary"

Setting n Gate Post.

Have large solid chestnut post to
begin with. Then aim to make the
bottom Of the post immovable. lamp
ing near the surface is Of little use.
Make the hole large enough to leave
six-inch space all around the post.
Place the post, brace 1t straight, then
put in about eighteen inches of broken
rock, and pour liquid cement three
parts Portland cement, two parts sand
into the spaces, making solid
masonry setting. The rest of the hole
may be filed with rocks and earth.

Growth of Pigs.

Foster and Merrill in Utah made
two tests to compare the relative fat
tening values Of barrows and sows.
In the first test Of ninety-one days, six
barrows made an average daily gain
Of nine-tenths of pound, and three
sows an average daily gain Of eighty
three one-hundredths Of a pound. In
the second test Of 1873 days, three bar
rows made an average daily gain Of
scven-tenths Of pound, and six sows
an average daily gain Of eighty eight
one-hundredths of pound.

Use for cottonseed Hulls.

Paper from cottOnseed hulls is the
latest utilization of a waste product.
A factory has been established at
Niagara Falls. 1t is said that a good
quality of paper can be made from
this material. The diminishing sup
ply Of wood and other materials for
paper stock has caused search for
substitutes. If the utilization Of cot
tonseed hulls in this way proves sue
cess, 1t will mean new industry for
the South. Now that the mills have
found an honest use for hulls, 1t is
hoped they will keep the stun out of
the meal which they send North.

Cattle and Meat Inspection.

The departmental report Of the
Bureau of Animal Industry from
which Secretary Wilson prepared that
part OF his annual report relating to
livestock matters will show an in
crease in the number of government
meat inspection depots from nine in
1891 to 156 in 1908. During this year
100000 live cattle were inspected by
the bureau agents, 14,60O,000 sheep, l.
100000 calves, 31,500,O0O hogs and a
few horses. or these animals about
125,000 were rejected, subject to the
result Of post mortem examination.
The post mortem inspections for the
year show practically the same figures,
total of 37,261,629 carcasses, Of
which 7S,472 carcasses were condemn
ed and 64,480 parts Of carcasses con-
demned. The figures show 344 horses
slaughtered for food purposes.

Good Points of Macaroni Wheat.

Macaroni wheat is drought resIster,
heavy yielder, an early maturing
grain, and has another good point for
poultrymen-it has a large kernel.
This grain sown by itself, or with oats,
and kept in the bundle makes a poultry
ration hard to beat. We would sug-
gest getting the smooth varieties, as
the strong barb on some of the beared
varieties might be Objectionable when
fed in the bundle. Mixed with oats,
as many do row for horse feed, this
heavy-yielding grain certainly bids
fair to be q good one.
