GASOLINE AS MOTIVE POWER.

We have referred to the growing use
of gasoline for traction purposes as
we'll as for use in furnishing power for
all farm operations, and notice that the
railroads are making use of motor cars
for many purposes. The Union Pacific
has built a car and is giving it a 10, 600
mile test. If it stands the trips as we'll
as expected there will be more use
made Of this kind of locomotion. For
ton and for use in suburban trains the
motor car will be most satisfactory.
Branch lines in thinly settled communi-
ties may be built and operated with
enough less expense to make them
profitable, and if these lines are of
standard guage the am car can run
on any connecting line, or cars of farm
products may be delivered to the trunk
lines by the motors. Gasoline lines can
be built and operated cheaper II full
ly as satisfactory as the electric lines
and farmers who are emot from rail-
roads may we'll look into the subject of
securing a motor line. Where the troll
ley has interfered with the suburban
traffic of the trunk ines the latter are
getting after them With motor trains
and are offering equal facilities With
the expectation of getting their share Of
the business.
The railroad managers of the country
are experimenting and observing 9TH
ers who are doing likewise and there is
every prospect that there will be entire
success in the plan. Storage batteries
are also being used. These motor cars
have been found to get up speed much
quicker than can be done by the steam
engine, thus it is very suitable for
suburban routes.

Care Of Glover Seed.


There Is n fine prospect for a big
clover seed crop this season. To secure
seed OF high quality requires careful
handling and grading. OF all the grass
seeds coming into the market clover Is
the most mixed. largely due to careless
cutting and no cleaning at all. Here

obtained from various places in the
two different ways to determine their

quent controversies that nave arisen
over the amount OF clover seed that
should be sown in order to get a good
stand. Those who read the agricul-
tural papers and visit the farmers in
stitutes have noticed that it is seldom
that two farmers will agree on the
proper amount of clover seed to SOW to
the acre. All the way from . quarts,
to d peck is recommended. This differ
ence could easily arise from the lover
seed having such a great difference in
terminating qualities. The lessons
taught are that clover seed should get
better care h it usually receives be-
tween cutting and threshing time.
There Is no doubt that much OF it's
vitality is destroyed by being left for
months on the ground during the damp
weather in the fall of the year. Ie
should never be sown without being
tested, and the testing should be done
in the soil and under similar condi-

the purchase of bright, plump seed, in
preference to seed that is shrunken or

Money Making Fairs.
From Harper's Bazaar.

There is one e plan by which the
maximum Of money Is made with the
minimum OF work-this is the sample
fair. The manufacturers Of everything
salable are solicited for samples Of the
goods, such as cereals. soaps, pickles
and preserves, bluings, cocoas and
syrups. With what is sent in response
all that Is left to be done is to range
a room, place the goods on tables and
sell them at the same prices charged
in the shops. Often some cocoa manu-
facturerewil be glad to serve hot choco-
late by way OF advertisement, and that
with biscuits or small cakes, also fur
nished free of cost, will provide refresh
ments, INC the net result will be a
surprising sum. The fair, however, does
not compare'in atrractiveness with one
where some pretty idea is carried out,
such as in the poppy fair, where all the
booths are done in white crepe paper
decorated with red peoples, and all the
girls are dressed to correspond in white
gowns and paper hats covered with
peoples.
Still another attractive bazaar is a
Dutch fair. The invitation and tickets
are printed In red, on yellow, the booths
are decorated in yellow, n the girls
who serve wear Dutch costumes with
little Dutch caps, nj everywhere tulips
are placed, in reds and yellows. For g.
grab bag there is a flower garden
where one can pull up tulips which
have small bundles in place OF bulbs.
Last of all comes the rainbow fair.
Here each booth is in one Of the rain
bow colors with a colored rainbow bent
dressed in colors which match the

RUST IN WHEAT.

Rust is bothering wheat growers:
and, it seems that our scientists are all
at sea about 1t. Professor Bailey, OF
North Dakota, is working hard on the
problem. Here is what he says:
Las year. 1904, we found that the
berry of the wheat was often attacked
by the stem rust. Later Investigations
teach us hat in many samples of the
seed wheat which was grown upon the
rusted rop of 1904 there was as high
as 20 to 80 per cent. OF the wheat
grains which We're internally attacked.
This is a discovery entirely new to
of wheat rust. We have fur
Their found that all UGH wheat grains,
which We're not otherwise injured,
sprouted and grew normally. We have
not as yet been able to prove definitely
that such wheat grains become attack
ed from these internal spores.
1.-The spores are found in such In
fected grains usually at the germ end
just over or under the embryo wheat
plant; but we have found them in
other parts OF the seed. One can
usually tell all such internally infected
grains by the fac that they are black
or brown on the seen C. So far we
have been able to gnd only the spores of
the stem rust on the inside of wheat
grains: but both the summer spores
and the winter spores occur i'm the
spore beds.
w have accumulated many other
observations which indicate that both
these species of rust may come from
inside of the seed, but the absolute
proof is yet wanting"

Earliest Reference is Found in tho
Old Testament.
Chicago News: What is regarded as
the earliest reference to shoes is found
in the Old Testament, where Abraham
refused to take as much as a shoe
latchet from the King of Sodom.
Among the Jews the shoe played an
important part in many social usages.
When buying or selling land 1T was
customary to deliver a shoe. and the
act of throwing down a snoe on terri
tory implied occupancy. The finding of
sandals on Egyptian mummies proves
that the wearing of shoes is almost as
old as the race itself. In Venice In the
seventeenth century every lady Of any
p%retension to fashion or position wore
what We're called "choppines," high
clogs or pattens, to elevate them from
the ground. Thomas Coryat, a traveller
who visited Venice in 1911, says of
them: They are so common in Venice
that no woman doeth without either in
her house or abroad. 1t is a thing
made of wood M covered with leather
in sundry colors. some white, some red.
some yellow. Many of them are Curl

their Sentlewomen, and most of their
wives and widows that are Of any
wealth are assisted or supported either
by men or ome when they walk
abroad. to h end that they may not
fall.''
Fortunes have been lavished upon
shoes. Men as ,..idely apart in every
circumstance of life as Sir Walter RAJ
leigh and Caligula had their shoes en-
riched with precious stones to the
value of thousands of dollars. When
the tomb of Henry vi of Sicily, who
died in 1897, was opened in the cathe-
dral of Palermo shoes made of cloth OF
gold and embroidered with pearls were
found on the dead monarch's feet, and
also on those of his queen. In the time
of Louis XIV of France the courtiers Of
Versailles We're remarkable for their
boots, the tops of which We're enor-
mously large and wide and We're decor
ated with a %profusion of costly lace.
Even horseshoes have been made to
serve he purposes of extravaganza and
display. Sahina Poppaea. the beautiful
and luxury loving wife OF the Roman
Emperor Nero, is said to have had her
mules shod with gold. All the world
over horseshoes are supposed to pos
sess some occult power Of attracting
luck and Warding off evil.

Horses can be pastured on alfalfa.
Alfalfa is a perennial, a clover-like
plant with oblong shaped leaves and a

to a height Of from 2 to S feet and its
blossoms are purple in color, borne in
long, loose clusters.
Alfalfa hay is a not complete ration.
The best results are got by. feeding it
with corn fodder, ensilage, wheat or

PREVENTING THE WASTE OF
SlOP

When slop is poured into the troughs for
the swine much Of it is wasted In various
ways usually through the carelessness of
the worker or the interference Of the ami
mails. A good way to overcome this is to
arrange a permanent funnel at the high
or end of the trough. Make it of our
boards each three feet long. the two side
pieces being twelve inches wide and the
other two twelve inches wide at the top

tho trough with a heavy cleat At zach side
for support. 1t is also a good plan to d.
vide the trough by strips Of board over the
top. which will prevent the animals from
crowding too much. The illustration shove

WINTER SHEDS FOR COWS.

WINTER SHEDS FOR COWS.
Two years ago our barns and sheds were
destroyed by fire and the sheds were not
rebuilt largely because we felt we could
not afford the expense. In looking over
the records of the dairy during the two
winters and comparing them with those
of previous years it. seems that the sheds
are necessary, so we are now building
them. They are simple lean-tos made of
cheap lumber and the cracks filled in with
paper and lathed over. A number Of small
windows are placed in the ends and the
front so that the shed may be as light as
possible. After the COWS are MIXED and
have eaten they are turned loose in this
shed, where there is a liberal pile of clean
straw for them to lie on and a rack OF
good size filled with straw, corn stover or
other roughage for them to MUNICH over
during the day. The animals are in this
shed all day unless 1t is fair enough so
that they can be In the yard a portion Of
the day. They are turned out in the yard
for a short period each day no matter how
cold the Weather for they need that
amount of fresh air. Formerly we had an
occasional animal who would do a little
hooking and she was promptly put back
in the stall. After being punished in this
way several times she seemed to realize
the whyfor and no trouble was expert
enced. This shed idea is we'll worth con-
