use. @ :. - -.
If they can be afforded, two back
saws will be found very convenient,
one a 12-inch for general work, and
filed to crosscut, and ten-inch flied
to cut with the grain of the wood, to
be used for doyetailing and other
often recurring work of this kind. To
use a backsaw in such a way as to fol-
low closely to the dimension line, and
do exact and closely fitting work, re-
quires from the beginner a consider
able amount of careful practice.
To all who wish to acquire skill in
the use of this important tool, We
recommend the following exercise for
practice: Take any block of wood
from 2':to is inches long, about. two
inches wide, and from one and one
half to one and three-fourths inches
in thickness, and with a try-square
and, sharp-pointed pocketknife lay
out lines, as partially shown in Fig.

when filing the file is held horizontal,
but at an angle Of about 60 degrees to
the side of saw blade. u.
It is not our intention to suggest any
work for practice in the use of the
handsaw, as the correct use will be
acquired gradually while cutting out
stock for different articles as may be
required later. 1885,, =
i In general, we would say to the oe-
ginner, do not press on or force the
saw to cut too rapidly. Hold the
saw firmly in the hand with the first
finger pressed against the side of the
handle and run i: lightly and freely
in the kerr, or cut, taking time to see
that the line is followed exactly, and
thus avoid all wasteful and crooked
edges, on the work, which must after
ward be planed off
:. While saving, be careful to stand in
such a position as to saw the edge
square with the surface of the board.
This position may be tested from

ABoUT SHOCKING WHEAT.
Details Make the Work Threshold
More Simple When Followed
to the Letter

Most people are probably familiaf, Nd.
a general way, with the principles aud
methods used in wheat shocking Yet
there are details, the conformation to-.
or neglect Of, which makes all the dif-
ference between q first-class job and o.
poor one wish to show here soms
Of the details which make for convent.
ence and excellence in the work. ind
the following plan of setting up q
shock most satisfactory: Set down
four bundles in a row, and follow with
one in the middle on eacn side. Now
place a bundle in each OF the four 1
vacant places, and put on two caps.
For caps, select bundles with. long
straws above the bands. They will
cover the shock better, and will not
fall OF SO easily. Place the heads OF
the caps in the direction from which ]
the strongest winds blow. II the heads
face the wind, the caps will not blow
of as readily as they will If the butts
/ face it. p" .%z "a
Here are few general suggestions,
Gays the Rural New Yorker. II the
shock has been set up as here directed,
1t will contain Il bundles. Experience
teaches that this is very nearly the
right number. Some little variation,
Of course, is allowable. But il a shock
is much smaller, it lacks stability; and
the same is true If the shock is much
larger, especially If the wheat is dead
ripe. When the wheat is dead ripe, the
heads stand out, and, especially in
large shock, the bundles are liable to-
| fall down. II the heads stand out, it:
is good plan to hug the shock tight
~ before Gaping. In a large shock
Slightly. green wheat is apt to mold.
When starting a shock, If convenient,
start it in the middle of the bunch Of
bundles. This will save the time and
around the shock. II practicable, put
shocks in exactly straight rows. This
will not increase the yield but will
make it easier to get at in hauling
from the field. If pushed for time, how
ever, put shocks where most convent
emit. One cannot afford, in so practical
a matter as wheat shocking, to sacri-
fee economy for neatness. To avoid
dampness as much as possible, place
shocks out of depressions. While it is
true that only the butts would be yet
by the surface water, it is also true
that a shock, once wet, will dry out
more quickly on dry than on damp
ground.
| Il the foregoing suggestions are fol-
lowed in shocking wheat, two very de-
sfrable things will, think, be accom-
plished. The work will be done with
| minimum of time and energy, and
frst-class job of work will be done. I
| helped to shock over 40 acres Of wheat
last summer, during which these sug-
gestfons were kept in mind. AS a re-
suit fewer caps blew OF. fewer shocks
| fell down, and heater appearance
was made than in neighboring fields.

MAKE THE ROWS NARROW
Nebraska Man Declares That Straw
berry Cultivation May Be Sue
cess If Patch rs Narrow.

Inc man That makes business OF
cultivating Strawberries can afford to
have rows two feet wide, as some. of
them do, but for the farmer that has
little time to put into the care of the
strawberry patch the narrower the
rows the better, for it is then easier
to keep down weeds by use Of the
horse and cultivator. I grow only
enough strawberries for my own fam
lily, but that requires quite a bed, says
Milton knight, of Cheng county, Ne
braska in Farmers Review. used
to have wide rows, but found it ex-
tremely difficult to keep out weeds and
grass. #&&. -
I could cultivate between the rows
but the weeds grew up in the midst
of the strawberries, especially where
for one reason and another the straw
berry plants were thin on the ground.
This made it necessary to get down
and pull up the grass and weeds by
hand, which is an operation that eats
up so much time that one has to stop
a long time to figure out whether it
pays to raise Strawberries at all.
l have now settled down to the prac-
tice of making the rows very narrow.
not over six inches. The plants spread
out wider than that, and it hurts me to
have to dig out good, strong plants,
but I do it. I then use wheeled hoe
and go close to the plants, and keep
the ground stirred up thoroughly,
which prevents weeds and grass from
starting. II set out another patch I
think will use only hills, so I can
cultivate both ways. 1t may reduce
the size of the yield per square rod, but
can use more land if need to. This
doing work by hand does not pay me.
