FARM HELPER TALKS BACK.
He Is Evidently Tired Of the One
Sided Treatment of an Old
Fashioned Subject.

1t is very seldom one picks up farm
paper without seeing an article giving
the farmland a whack. That is right.
Keep on whacking. 1t makes him feel
better. He loves his employer so
much more when he reads these highly
concentrated items, provided he gets
time to indulge in the luxury of read
ing. Give him to understand the farm
is the proper place for farmhands; i'm
press on his mind that he should be
very thankful that you are giving him
365 days work in the year, and that
his wages are greater than your great
great-grandfather used to get. Feed
him on common, everyday grub" Sell
all your butter and use grease for the
table; it will increase your bank &C
count take all of your eggs to the
market-they are not good for farm
hands to eat-they injure the diges-
ton. Expenses must be kept down, as
you are thinking of buying the ad-
joining half section and you will need
the money. Kill two or three fat hogs
in the fall and have hog three times a
day. Fat hog is the stuff to hang to q
hired mans ribs.
Be sure to have an early rising hour
in the winter time for the hired man
$3.50 a. M, at least. 1t will not be nee
essary for you to get up before break
fast; about six is the time for that
meal. If the farmland cannot find
enough work to keep him employed be-
fore breakfast he can cut and haul up
a load of wood. 1t is good for him,
makes him strong, increases the ap-
petite, and his love for you is tenfold
stronger.
Find fault with everything he does,
whether right or wrong; it does him
good; he will stay with you that much
longer. Always go around with a
long and sour face. Eat as fast as you
can at the table. II you talk to the
farmland at all during meals tell him
about some article you have read re-
lating to the poor quality of farmhands
at the present time. Take plenty Of
farm papers-six at least, one for
every weekday.
Make the farmland do all the hard
work. Use walking plows, but if you
have riding pillow use that yourself;
walking is good for the hired mans
legs. Send him out to cultivate corn
about four in the morning with good
fast team, and keep him at it until
about 80 minutes after shutdown. Prob
ably you will have II cows for him to
milk, and other work to keep him go
inc two hOurc after ha leaves tho field
When a new hand comes give him all
the hard work you can find for the first
few days; that is the way to break in
tender muscles. The farmland likes
this treatment, and will probably stay
with you.
Put the farmland in the hottest bed
room in summer and the coolest in
winter. Be sure to have hard bed;
he likes it; it makes him tough. These
things will help in keeping farmhands
from leaving you.-Breeders' Gazette.

squared and turned up one inch; on
this is laid piece of joist three feet
long (hardly shown in cuD, to sup

There are four plates framed to-

Of the plates. The roof is elevated and
lowered with small screw of wood or
iron, about two feet long. A wooden
screw three inches in diameter will an

OLD GRANARY BURYING-GROUND.

They knew the patriot rebels soul,
Who set his grave upon the verge
OF Bostons busy street, where roll
The vans of traffic and the surge
OF hasting footsteps: not for him
A cedar'd churchyard's blank repose,
Nor tomb in some cathedral dim
Where no bird flies nor free wind blows.
Sam Adams never ask'd to rest;

But watches with unjaded zest
The stream rush on and disappear;
He longs to rise and join the strife,
AS in the seasons when his breath
Kindled a nation into life:
He scorns the palsying sloth of death.
Fain would we hear which faction rules,
What men precede in town ana state,
And if we guard our public schools,
And keep our courts inviolate.

Have you the love of Freedom still?
Has Wealth not pauperiz'd your thought,
Nor Power bred a wolfish will?

The Use of Lime on Land.

During the last few years the use Of
lime on land has greatly increased.
This is the result of investigations as
to the free acid in land of which lime
is a neMralizer. 1t will pay every
Farmer to investigate his land as to
acid This he can do by planting on
it clover of almost. any variety, in
Guiding sweet clover. If the plant
grows we'll there is no great abundance
of acid, provided nitrogen has not been
applied to fertihze the crop. If nj
trogen has been applied, the clover will
grow anyway, whether the soil be acid
or not. Thus the test would be OF no
value-Farmers' Review.

A NEW VARIETY OF OATS.
"Wisconsin No ~ Has Yielded Large
Crops, with High Percentage
of Meat to Hull.

The Iowa experiment station dis
tributed last spring to northern and
central Iowa farmers several hundred
bushels of an early white oat called
wisconsin No. f." which has given ex-
cellent satisfaction in Wisconsin, where
1t was first introduced. Its history is
as follows: NJ A. Carleton, cerealist
for the United States government, visit
ed Russia in 1898, and in northern Rus
STA he saw type of oats growing that
greatly interested him. Its stiff straw,
wide panicle and large kernel showed
It to be a desirable quality of oats. He
found on inquiry that 1t was an early ma
turing oat 1t came from Sweden, and
was one of the standard types of north
ern Russia. Mr.. Carleton secured 20
bushels for the department of agri-
culture, listing it as No. 2,788. A small
quantity of this seed was obtained by
the Wisconsin experiment station in
1899 and placed in variety test of oats.
BY careful selection, Prof. Moore, the
station agronomist, has developed
very desirable type of early oat we'll
adapted to Wisconsin climate and soil
conditions, and has named it Wiscon-
sin No. 4. 1t is the most satisfactory
one tested at the university farm. 1t
invariably yields well, shows a stiff
straw-therefore does not easily lodge
has good-sized kernel with a light
hull, and weighs usually from SO to
40 pounds per measured bushel. 1t gen
orally ripens in 80 days from seeding.
1t yields from 5 to Is bushels more per
acre than any other variety. Its high
percentage of meat to hull gives promise
of good milling oat

THE CIPHER WAS TOO MUCH
Telegraph Operator Thought the Mes
sage Was Too Much Twisted
to Save.

While Secretary Hay was in the country
one summer, an important piece of Official
business was pending, and he arranged with
Washington that any news that might ar.
rive about the matter should be telegraphed
to him in cipher
Day after day he waited, says the New
York Tribune, but no telegram came. One
morning, happening to go to the lonely
little telegraph office, he said to the op-
orator:
81 suppose you have received no dis
patch for me-"
why, yes, SIR the operator replied,
"there was dispatch for you the other
day, but it was all twisted and confused.
1 couldn't make head or tail of it, so I
didn't think it was any use to send it up to
you"

johnson Grass in Southwest.

Johnson grass has become such a nui-
sance to farmers in some parts of Texas
that they have been compelled to adopt
legislative measures to eradicate it. A
law has been passed forcing railroads
to keep their right Of way absolutely
free Of it, in order that the grass may not
spread in adjoining fields. The Santa
Fe railroad has engaged the services of
professional grass exterminator, and
thus far he has made success of it.
Johnson grass makes good pasture and
good hay, but is decided nuisance to
the crop raiser, as the more it is plowed
up, the better it seems to grow.
