handsomely, summoning to his aid the

WORKING An th. wbe.ta.,a.


Most people are probably familiar in
a general way with the principles and
methods used in wheat shocking. Yet
there are details the conformation to
or neglect Of which makes all the DIFF
ference between a nrst-class Job and n
poor one. wish to show here some Of
the details which make for convenience
and excellence in the work, says a
Rural New Yorker writer.
l find the following plan of setting
up shock most satisfactory: Set down
four bundles in a row and follow with
one in the middle on each side. Now
place a bundle In each of the four va
can't places and put on two caps. For
caps select bundles with long straw
above the bands. They will cover the
shock better and will not fall of 80
easily. Place the heads Of the caps in
the direction from which the strongest
winds blow. If the heads face the
wind the caps will not blow of az
readily as they will II the butts face II.
Here are a few general suggestions:
II the shock has been set I'D as here
directed 1t will contain twelve bun.
dies. Experience teaches that this is
very nearly the right number. Some
little variation, Of course, is allowable.
But If shock is much smaller 1t lacks
stability, and the same is true II the
shock is much larger, especially II the
wheat Is dead ripe. When the wheat
is dead ripe the heads stand out, and,
especially in a large shock, the bum
dies are, liable to fall down. II the
heads stand out 1t is a good plan to
hug the shock tightly before Gaping.
In a large shock slightly green wheat
is apt to mold. When starting a shock
If convenient start 1t in the middle of
the bunch Of bundles. This will save
the time and labor involved in carry
Ing bundles around the shock.

Farm Notes.

Poor food for the cow and DOOR
treatment effect the milk supply.
Cows In the stable can be protected
from files; nets and screens are both
used.
Try five or six moth balls in each
nest, but be careful that they do not
touch the eggs. Persian insect powder
scattered under the hay helps much.
New York City consumes on an aver.
age about $4,000, sheep and lambs
weekly.
Do not use any preservative to pre-
vent milk from souring; keep 1t cool
and clean.
Pull up onions as soon as the bulba
are well formed and leave them on tbe
ground until cured. Then spread them
thinly under cover until wanted.
Keep outside leaves of grape vines
cut OF, also weak shoots. This will let
the sun ripen the grapes and throw the
strength Of the vine into the fruit In
stead Of the foliage.

Weather Fakes,

The United States Weather Bureau
takes no stock In the monthly and sea-
sonal forecasts by the so-called
weather prophets" whose predictions
are based upon signs of the moon, con-
functions of planets. and other astro-
nomical phenomena which, as far as
scientific men can learn, have no ap-
preciable influence upon our atmos-
phere. Frequently, of course, they hit
a snow storm or cold wave in winter
and thunder and wind storms in the
summer, as all are liable to occur in
their respective seasons, but to predict
the nature Of the weather more than
three days is not possible by the Ma
donal Weather Bureau, even with con-
slant connection with hundreds Of OBJ
serving stations In all parts of the con-
tinent. All forecasts sent out by the
Weather Bureau are based upon actual
conditions at the time, but the unex-
pected often happens to upset what
seems likely to occur.

Feeding Too Many Fowls,

When the Matching season is over
there is no necessity for retaining the
roosters, as the hens will lay without
their presence, and their room is val
liable, while they cost more for food
than they are worth, says Farm and
Fireside. 1t is well to retain the best
Of the early pnllets, but all pullets that
do not show evidence of thrift or of
reaching maturity before winter
should be disposed Of. The young
cockerels should be disposed Of Just as
soon as they are large enough for mar
ket or the table. 1t is better to give
the growing stock plenty of room than
to crowd them. The poultry house is
usually warm place in summer when
we'll filled with birds, due to the anil
NAL heat Of the bodies, and the flock
should consequently be reduced to the
lowest number consistent with the ia
cilities.

Potato Quality.

The quality of potatoes is the SUBJ
ject Of interesting tests by the New
York Experiment Station. There is
reason to believe that good quality is
developed in soil temperature of e5
degrees to rs degrees, and the tubers
growing from one and two to five inch
es below the. surface are subject to
these conditions. Great fuctuation in
the soil temperature Is detrimental to
the best development of potatoes, and
tubers growing too near the surface
are subject to this fuctuation. A too
low temperature also Injuries the devel-
opment of ripening and the soil tex
ture probably has something to do with
ripening and flavor. Hence. If pota-
toes are planted shallower than three
inches or deeper than six inches the
conditions are unfavorable.

Shade for Small Stock.

Shade for Small Stock.
Most farmers make some attempt to
provide shade in the pasture for their
horses and cows, but let the swine,
sheep and poultry go without II, which
is certainly mistake, for all animals
and birds like shade In summer. It is
an easy matter to erect a number Of
small shade places on the pasture, and
at small expense, If one is willing to
invest the small amount Of labor neces-
sary. If there is a wood lot on the
farm what is easier than to cut a num-
Der Of poles to use for posts, and then
a number Of lighter branches to use
as the foundation for the roof. Set
the poles firmly in the ground, making
four posts for the corners, then, with
the branches and lot of waste hay or
straw, thatched roof Is easily con-
structed.
Spend enough time on the work to
make it strong enough so that the wind
will not blow 1t over. When you finish

A cheap and effectual method Of
preventing the-rotting Of fence posts is
said to be practiced by French farm
ers. The posts are piled in tank and
the whole thickly covered with a quick
lime, which is gradually Stacked with
water. Another plan, used in this
country, is to char the posts to til.
depth Of half an inch, and then dip
them in coal tar, but the coal tar
should be SO used as to extend above
the surface Of the ground, when the
posts are in place. While this may not
prevent decay, yet 1t will prolong the
period OF durability Of the sosts.

Production of Hoxs.

There Is little danger Of an overpro-
duction Of hogs. The difficulty is to
get enough Of them. Curtailing the
production will not send up the price
correspondingly, as people will pay
only just about so much for any one
kind Of meat, and then will turn to
something else. There should be mil
lions more hogs produced every year
than are. With an animal as prolific
as the hog there is no reason why the
supply should not be adequate to meet
the demand. 1t is doubtful If the farm
er can raise any animal that is mora
profitable than the hog.

LOw-DowN RACK.

the ordinary farm Is more laborious
than cutting and handling this kind of
forage and anything that facilitates the
lifting and loading is a good thing to
have 1t saves both time and muscle,
for both corn stalks and sorghum and
especially the latter, are very heavy to
lift and load on a high rack. In the
absence of a "low-down" wagon, a
rack like the accompanying illustration
will be found to be great help.

The Flood Plays Many Franks.

Rev. William Alexander Smith,
prominent as the author Of many
works on Oriental Travel has written
an entertaining account Of his expert
ence in Kansas during the floods in
1903. He says:
